On pathetic representations of the financial state of the company, the king gave permission, through a subservient Parliament, for the company to export tea to America free even of the English duty. The company had lost hundreds of thousands of pounds since the Townshend Acts went in force; now by favorable terms it was to be enabled to undersell in the colonial market even the smuggled teas.
And those are surplus too light or too delicate for farm work." "Where do you find a market for all this produce?" Kennon asked. "There's two hundred million people here, and quite a few billion more in space-train range.

The ironmonger, therefore, though he loudly asserted that he could beat Bristol in the quality of his wares in one direction, and undersell Gloucester in another, bought his tea and sugar on the sly in one of those larger towns; and the grocer, on the other hand, equally distrusted the pots and pans of home production.

"Owing to my well being centrally located I was able to hold out longer than many others.
In order to issue the brochures at a cheap rate and to undersell pernicious publications, she found it necessary to raise a subscription.
