We can recommend it to our customers as a tea which has never been equaled. For Sale By William Lampert, Sacramento, Cal." [California] * This charming advert for Mr. Lamper's tea is wonderfully done, and superbly illustrated. The Japanese stamps say in English: "Imperial Japanese Post, Japanese Empire," each different.
