■"-yr/'r"' The Second Article of a sejriex that Tva-y idooscwi:c Should Tend. It is indeed hard tor the New Zealand housewife to realise the remarkable changes liiai have ocmii red ir- tin- ;ca iratie v.'it!!i:i :.The last eight m. mills—changes v. i::cii have res:.lied hi grcslh increased prices. As. wib >iio\v!i lit i!ie urs; article ol iliis* series, tea is in greui demand as the beverage ol t!ie 25 tadlion men wim are under arm-to-day. due to llie tael that it i the most stimulating and in vigorating drink—easily transported and easilv handled. lint there is another element which exerts almost a.s threat a;t iiilltienee it: the steadilv rising cost, of tea. This i act or is Russia, with its enormous population of over 160 millions, which, at the stroke of a pen —in almost a single 11 i£4h 1 iias been turned into nation of tea drinkers. What this means is readily seen when one considers tlint until September last the Russian people consumed less than 1 lb, of tea per, heat! per annum; whereas in.our; ov.j lan-.! the average is over /-jilts, or tea per head per .•:■ ■ u mi: r Moreover, the- monev previously spelt! o;i ri‘h*r beverages by Russia is n r.v available tor feh" K'nce, at tiie tea auctions, enormous quantities have been bought bv Russian representatives, who readily pay increasing prices to secure what they want. As a result, tea to-ciav costs the blender in New Zealand an average of 2ad. to 3d. per lb. more than eight months ago. and, unless he is to face an enormous loss, he has only two alternatives —to reduce his quality or increase his prices. Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging air excessive price lor interior tea. If so. he is still able to sell the same grade at the old ligure and probably still make a good prolit* * Amber Tips” policy has always been to give the best value the world can produce at the most reasonable prices. It lias been decided to continue this police, therefore the price has been slightly increased —by 2ci. per lb.

Although advised by many to reduce costs tiy the admixture of harsher, inferior and less healthful teas, the proprietors are determined to maintain that standard of qmilitv and value which has made "A mber Tips the most widelv sold blend in the Dominion to-day—the urnst lately sold blend of any country m the world in proportion to population. Thus, if the name " Amber Tips is on the packer, you know that it contains the finest, purest and best tea that can he produced for the money that it contains a tea which is so pure and healthful that it can be used by children, and by those with the weakest digestion, without harm. It is also well to remember that “ Amber 'rips' - gives mure cups of dciieious, fragrant tea of delightful flavour. Thus it si ill costs yon less than others—it is still the cheapest tea in Hie Dominion, even though the prices haw Iwon -sdiubtly increased. We believe that the housewives of y ( ~v Zealand would rather secure the finest value that can lie given-even at a slightly intTt'Mstvl prh.v, ~~ than th:»» finality and vtilues should he cheapened. ft is now for you to show whether you approve of this decision or not.
