I ' ' 1 C~ ... ! Why -Tea' ' -j Costs Mprer- : The Third Article of a Series dealing with a < question which vitally affects every housewife. The increased demand for tea to-i lay. is due to to the fact that huge quantities are wanted for the 25 million men under arms., The Heads of the Armies of the world ! know that there is no drink" so. ( , stimulating and, beneficial.: and • lience they must have tea for - - their men no matter what it costs. , i Then, too, at; the stroke of a . i pen, the great-Russian Nation has . be'eh turned into a tea drinking people, and the money previously spent on Vodka is now available j ' for the purchase of tea. j But there is only a limited , supply of tea and that supply is not ; •sufficient to fill the present re- 1 .quirenients. j ■Hence at the tea auctions-in , Ceylon it has risen in price i month by month, until to-day'it ( costs the packer 2\A to 3d per lb. ' more than in August last. This, of course, / affects New ■- t Zealand very greatly, for the finest 1 tea in the world has been solder, here at prices which cannot 5 0 equalled. ' , Although this /' seems a bold statement,, it is one. that will « bear the closest investigation. For instance,. a great proportion of $ j ; the tea imports to England consist s 6f what is known as "red stalk" tea,''; j 1 the lowest possible grade—so. low - \ that it is prohibited throughout T 'Yeteven 'this lowest \ i grade is sold in England at 1/6 or __ £ mote .per. 1b.,. while for fine teas of. 8 the quality of " Amber Tips," 2/8 r to 3/4 per lb. is asked. ti Tea experts the are aston- . a ished at the remarkable quality, flavour, -rf ~ j fragrance and value given in "Amber ' Tips" at so low a price, and itis because v j ho better value can be obtained any- f- .. ■where, that "Amber Tips'.' is to-day the fe - most;popular;brand. l in:lire , fr.'Zealand, c Millions of packets of "Ambers Tips" A " are sold-per annum. -It is stocked in '/ every shop'from'tlie North Cape.to the": .
