THE MISTAKE OF A M.H.R. MR TANNER, MH.R., spoki eloquently in Parliament re cently on Pomahaka oats, sohoo booKs, and the price of Tea. On th< last named subject he said : "It wa, all very well for Ministers and honorart members to claim before the general publu the credit of having reduced the duty or tia 2d per Ib. He questioned whethn any family teas 2d better oft in conse quence of what they did last year." While admitting that Mr Tannei may be an authority on oats and school primers, his sweeping assertion regarding Tea ia contrary tc fact. It is admitted that in the matter of blended teas it was in some cases alleged that no alteration be made in price, but the difference would be given in quality That may or may not have been done, but had Mr Tanner investigated the matter thoroughly he would have found that SURATURA TEA was immediately lowered in price to the public by the amount of the duty, and the quality of it being so firmly established, no doubt entered anyone's mind but that the reduction in price was a genuine one, and that the quality remains the same. Suratura Tea is guaranteed NOT blended with Indian or China Tea. AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROT I DENT SOCIETY. New Zealand Branch : Head Office, Customhouse Quay, Wellington.
