vVhy i Costs More— The Third Article of a Series dealing with a question which vitally affects every housewife . The increased demand for (ea today is due to to the fact that huge quantities are wanted for the 25 million men under arms. 'Fite Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and beneficial, and hence thev must have lea bn their men no matter what it costs Then, too, at the stroke of a 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 supply is not sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Cevlon it has risen ih price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2]rd 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 sold here at prices which cannot be equalled. ( ’ ir , o;:n[ . A: 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 exports the world over are astonished at tho remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in "Amber Tips” at so low a price, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere. that ‘’Amber Tips” is to day the most popular brand in New Zealand'. Millions of packets of ‘■Ambers Tips" are sold per annum. It is storked in every shop from the North Cape to the Bind. Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a sale. But tine tea is now costing the, “Amber Tips” Proprietors, as well as other lea merchants, an average of2£d. to 3d. per lb. mort* than in August. 1914. Therefore, if a faidpriot* was charged before the yyar. |he tea merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should he continue to pack the same quality qt his old prices.

(>r court; there is the alternative of cheapenin',' the quality by an admix hi 1 e of inferior, less health fill leas. The “AmberTips’’ Proprietors were advised by tiiaiiy to'db this®, •'hht instead they decided to raise the price hy ‘id. per lb., audio continue to give the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with (he 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 i-lb. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and lees healthful tea at the old price ? Hut 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 oven an extra 2ld. or 3d, in cost per lb. still enables a prolit to be made —or quality must be reduced, other* a heavy loss must be faced. Hut even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest; lea you can huy. 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 thoseof the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us 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 ran we continue to give you the same honest quality and the same honest value. im

1/10, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. The. only tea that ha a hi increase its prices —the forei/ai/i;/ a-iil tell yon irhy. Njveltioa m leather goods sultn l 'le For 0»»li lra*l*r
