Why ieu Costs More The Third Article of a Series dealing with a question which vitally affects every housewife. The increased demand for tea today 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 hence thev must have tea for, their men no matter what it cosK Then, too, at the stroke of ;'■ pen, the great Russian Nation has been turned into a tea 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. I Hence at the tea auctions in Cevlon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2\t\ to 3d per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zealand very greatly, for the finest tea in the world Ir.is ' been sold 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 overate astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in " Amber Tips" at so low a mice, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that "Amber Tips" is today (be most popular brand iti New Zealand, Millions of packets of ••Ambers Tips" are sold per annum. It is stocked in every shop front the North Cape io the Bluff. Only exceptional value could be responsible for .so exceptional a sale. But line tea is now Costing the "Amber Tips" Proprietors, as well as other tea merchants, an average of 2Jd. to 3d. per lb. more than in August, 11*1-4. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war. the tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should he continue to pack the same Of eoure there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas. The "Amber Tips" Proprietors were advised by many to do this, but instead they decided to raise the 'price by 2d,. per H>.. and to continue to give the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with the name "Amber Tips." Now, Mrs. Hoii.sewife, 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 i-lb. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and leas healthful tea at the old prie.e ? Rut you say "other teas have not been raised in prices." 1f so you can readily see that either excessive prices were charged before the war- so excessive that even an extra 2£d. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, otherBut even at increased tigures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, noihing 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 facts should weigh with
