| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The magnitude of the interests involved in the tea trade of this city, and the large capital that of necessity must be concentrated in it, can be best appreciated by the fact that during the year 1883 the enormous amount of fifty-six million three hundred and fifty-eight thousand five hundred and sixty-two pounds were received in the port of New York. Among the houses engaged in the importation of tea is the well known firm of MacGregor & Dallas. The business was originally founded in 1803 by Mr. William MacGregor. He was formerly member of the house of William B. Hunter & Co., and no one is better qualified than he, by reason of active practical experience and knowledge of the trade, to carry it on successfully, as he was for five years a resident of Shanghai, and became familiar with the tea interests at their fountain head. Mr. William Dallas, the junior partner, has also had ample practical experience, having been connected with the trade since 1868. Their house does the largest busi-nese with Canada in the line of teag of any New York concern, and ships the direct importations of the finest qualities of Japan and China teas to all parts of the dominion. They send more Japan teas into Canada than any other house, and are the representatives of the great "China-Japan Trading Co." in the United States and Canada. The well-earned reputation of these gentlemen places them as an authority in all matters pertaining to the tea trade, and they are esteemed members of the newly formed Importers' and Grocers' Exchange, upon whose floor considerable quantities of teas have already been sold. Personally popular, both members of the firm bear the highest of reputations as honorable business men, and upright private citizens. |
