vV hy i Costs Mo: The Third Article of a Series dealing with a question which vitally affects every housewife. The increased demand for (ea today is clue 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 hence thev must have tea lor their men no matter what it costs Then, too, at the stroke ol a pen, the great Russian Nation has been turned into a lea drinking people, and the money previously spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase of tea But there is only a limited supply of tea and that supplv is not sufficient to fill the present requirements), 1 Hence at the tea auctions in Ceylon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2id to 3d per lb. more than in August last., This, of course, affects New Zealand very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sole! here at prices which cannot be equalled. Although this seems a bold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as “red stalk" tea, the lowest possible grade—so low that it is prohibited throughout Australasia. Yet even this lowest grade is sold in England at 1/6 or more per lb., while for line teas of the quality of "Amber Tips,” 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. is asked. Tea experts the world over are astonished at die remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in “ Amber Tips” at so low a mice, and il is because: no belter value can be obtained anywhere, that “Amber Tips” is today the most popular brand in New Zealand. Millions of packets of “Ambers Tips” are sold per annum. It. is sleeked in every shop from the. North Cape to the, BlnlV. Only exceptional value cbiVl/k he responsible for so exceptional a sale. Tint fine tea is now costing the “Amber Tips” Proprietors, as well as other lea merchants, an average ofgpl. to 3.1. per lb. more than in August. I!M4. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war. the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should be continue It) pack the same quality at his old prices. 1 Of coure there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, loss healthful leas. The ■'AmberTips” Proprietors were advise i by many to do this, but instead they decided to raise die price by ltd. |>er lb., and to continue to give the public that same splendid value which lias always been associated with the name “Amber Tips.” Now. Mrs. Housewife, what is your ' opinion of the whole matter? Would you rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a Tib. packet more—or would yon rather have an inI ferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? But you say “other teas have not been raised in prices.” If so you can readily see that cither excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive .that even an extra ;Pd. or 3d. in cost I per lb. still enables a profit to be made I —or quality must be reduced, other- < a heavy loss must be faced. Tint oven at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea yon can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing else can equal it. while it is so pure and healthful that it can be taken by even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facta should weigh with you. Consider thorn carefully—write and tell ns your conclusions. We believe that yon want .quality and that you want value. For that reason we have raised our prices because only by doing so can we continue to give you the same .honest quality and tlie same honest value. let
