Image of a four-panel label for Treasure Brand's "perfection canister" for tea; geometric borders surround four panels, two featuring text about tea in the "great tea-producing countries of China and Japan" and its storage; two panels feature branches behind a crest with a central medallion showing the goddess Columbia, wearing a headpiece labeled "Liberty," encircled by thirteen stars and the date "1882." Date supplied by cataloger based on the year on the medal in the image. "Treasure Tea. : The term 'uncolored,' which is given to so much / of the tea imported into this country, must have fre- / quently struck the consumer of it as an erroneous one... we are confident / they will learn to appreciate the merits we claim for / our 'TREASURE' Brand."--text, left panel of image. "Treasure Tea. : The common practice of consumers to keep / their Tea in papers and packages... we bring to / their notice our "PERFECTION CANISTER," / which will be found not only to preserve the / Tea it contains better than any paper or paste- / board package ever used for that purpose, but / also to be a most useful article in the domestic / arrangements of every housekeeper."--text, center right panel of image.
