MERCHANTS m NEW ZEALAND * WRITING TO CEYLON TO OBTAIN SURATURA TEA, jnpHE following copy of a letter c JL was written by the exporters l of Suratura Tea to the Wellington ■gents: — " Colombo, ■Zncl Sept., 1595- --" Bear Sir,— There seems to lea great I dtalof correspondence between dealers in i your Colony and merchants here re Suratura Teas, and we have on more than one •ccasion heard them highly spoken of in , Colombo. We mention this as we think it will be as well for you in self-protection to register the mark (if you have not already done so) as early as possible, as we ourselves have known the labels of other well-known brands very closely, if not almost, copied, and we feel sure were this to happen to Suratura, and inferior teas gold under a similar, or perhaps the same name, it would be very detrimental to allparties concerned. Of course we refuse to ship the teas (Suratura) to any firm but your goodselves, and shall always endeavour to protect you at this end as far as is in our power. — Yours, etc., . . .' The endeavour made to obtain this wondeiful Tea is proof of its public appreciation and quality. The duty on Suratura is charged at 4d per Ib, the old rate being 6d.
