Printed Ephemera — 1939
Warrant
This delivery note records six chests of Orange Pekoe tea imported on board the ship 'Astronomer'. The tea was transported from Calcutta to London. It was kept in a warehouse at Hay's Wharf and Dock near London Bridge, the dock which then provided storage for around three-quarters of the food imported to London. All six chests of tea were sold together, perhaps to a catering firm or grocer's.
