r-Trs Tea More

A Statement that Every Housewife Should Read ) I The war has faced every tea j merchant with the problem of increasing prices or reducing his quality. He has to follow one course nr die other —there’s no escape—for the wholesale cost of fine tea in Eastern markets has increased over 2id. per lb. since August last. The main reason for this rise has been the greatly increased demand— and the fad lira! tea production cannot materially increase for at least live years. Take tor instance the .enormous quantity of tea required for the men in the trencher; and on active service. it is readily seen why tea has been selected as the soldiers’ hoverI age it is easily transported—is j quickly and readily prepared any--1 where—and above a!) it is invaluable :or its: invigorating and stimulating qualities. With the exception of 3 mil Hon Britishers, but' few of the 23 million men undter arms in Europe to-day were-previously tea drinkers— yet. almost in a day tea had to be found for them. ( Do you wonder then, that the

' tea has gone up, up, up in price? —• j that to day line tea costs the packer i in New Zealand on the average ! 2\d. to 3d. per lb. more than in August last. Add to this Russia’s 160 millions, who, with a stroke of the pen, have been turned into tea drinkers by the Vodka prohibition add a score of minor causes and you will see why the increase had to come. Therefore, too, you will sec that any tea giving value for the money cannot be sold at the same price as in August last. It simply can’t be done—unless, of course, the price originally charged was absolutely excessive. If a fair price and good value was formerly given, the packer is now faced with a loss on every packet. There’s no escape from the facts—either prices have to be increased—or, as an alternative, quality and value must be reduced by the admixture of cheaper, inferior, less healthful teas. The “Amber Tips” Proprietors are determined that, in their case, this alternative will never be taken. ‘Amber Tips” remarkable rise in a few 1 years from an unknown brand to by far the largest selling tea in Now Zealand--the largest selling tea in the world in proportion to population—is due to its quality and remarkable value. / The same wonderful value will still be given -nothing but the finest teas will be used, but to do so the price has to be increased. We are convinced that most homes in New Zealand would rather pay 2d. per lb. more and get the finest tea that can be produced rather than pay the old price and get an inferior article —with an admixture of poorer leas, loss healthful alike to nervesand digestion. Forgot quality and healthfulness—consider the question purely from the standpoint of economy—there too “Amber Tips” leads, for every pound will give I more cups—and at a less price per cup. cup for cup, there's no cheaper tea Therefore even at the now prices I Amber Tips is still the cheapest—you get better tee.— more delicious flavour — finer fragrance—while, as the Lancet investigation showed, your health will benefit. Purely because of a penny extra per half lb. packet you will not deprive yourself of a tea winch for quality, flavour, fragraiice, and economy is unique and unsurpassable. The housewives &£ K*w Zealand want a good a; tide and goo . value, and one trial convinced 'hoiu that Amber 'flips is a tea that nothing else could equal. Do they still want va!"». and quality? We believe they do—-we know it. 83
