NUMEROUS complaints have been received from persons living in the provinces respecting their business transactions with SYMONDS TEA COMPANY, Savoy House, Strand. This business is carried on by an American named Symonds ; and while there is nothing to justify the statement that the business is a fraudulent one, the advertisements are cleverly worded to mislead a careless reader. Bicycles are also advertised by him under the name of SYMONDS LONDON STORES, New North Street, London. W. C. ; and in reply to complaints, he has informed the Police that the purchaser, if dissatisfied with the bicycle sent, may return the same within a week, when the Company will refund the money. He represents also that he obtains these bicycles in large numbers from America, and is therefore able to dispose of them at a cheap rate.
