A Statement that Every , Housewife Should Read The war has faced every tea merchant with the problem oi increasing prices or reducing his quality. He kas to follow one course or" the other—there's, no escape—for the wholesale cost of hue tea : iri Eastern markets has increased over 2£d. per lb. since August last. The main reason for this rise has been the greatly, increased demand —and ithe fact that tea production cannot materially increase for at least five years. Take for instance the enormous quantity of tea required for the men in the trenches and on active service. ' It is readily seen whv tea has been selected as the soldiers' bever-' age—it is ' easily transported—is quickly and readily prepared anywhere—and above all it is invaluable for its invigorating and stimulating qualities. With the exception of 3 million Britishers, but few of the 25 million men under armsjj»Ks Europe to-day were 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?— that to-day tine tea costs the packer 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 and you will see why the increase had to come. Therefore, too, you will see 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 ffrom 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 alternt\tive'will never be taken. 'Amber Tips" remarkable rise in a few years from an unknown brand to by far I the largest selling tea in New Zealand--Ithe largest sellina tea in the world in 1 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 I to be increased., We are convinced that moat 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 teas, less healthful alike to nerves and digestion. Forget quality and heal thfulnoKs—consider the question purely from the standpoint of economy—there too "Amber Tips" leads, for every pound will give more cups—and at ft less price per cup. —cup for cup, there's! no cheaper tea Therefore even at the new prices Amber Tips is still the cheapest—you get better tea —more delicious flavour—finer fragrance —while, as the Lancet investigation showed, your hoalth will benefit. Surely because of a penny oxtra per half lb. packet you will not deprive yourself of a tea which for quality, flavour, fragrance, and ecoaomy is unique and nnsurpassable. The housewives 0$ New Zealand want a good article and goofi value, and one trial convinced them that Amber Tips is a tea that nothing else could equal. Do they still want value and quality ? We believe they do—we know it. 99

1/10-, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. The only tea that has to increase its prices — the foregoing will tell you why.
