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 tact thai 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- they must have tea for their men no matter what it costs, , Then, too, at the stroke of a pen, <he great Russian Nation has been turned into a tea drinking people, and the money previously--spent on Vodka is now availablefor the purchase of tea But there is only a limited Mipply of tea and that supply is not sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Ceylon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2|d to 3d per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zcalrad very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at price* which cannot be equalled. Although' this *cems 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 fine teas of the quality of “ Amber Tips," 2/8 to 3/4 per lb. is asked. Toa experts the world over are astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour, fragrance and value given in “ Amber Tips” at so low a nrico, 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 stocked in every shop from the North Capo to the Bluli. Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a side. But fine tea is now costing the “Amber Tips” Proprietors, as well as other toa merchants, an average of 2Jd. to 3d. per lb. more than in August, 1914. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war, the tea merchant is to-day faced witli an enormous loss should he continue to pack the same quality at hia old prices, Of coure . there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, loss healthful teas. The “Amber Tips” Proprietors wore advised by many to do this, but instead they decided to raise the price by 2d. per lb., and to continue to give the public that same splendid value which has 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 jib. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and lees healthful toa at the old price? But you say “other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you can readily eeo that cither excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2Jd. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy lose must he faced. But even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing else can equal it, while it is so Eure and healthful that it can be taken y even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facta should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your conclusions. We believe that you 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 the same honest valyo. ioi
