The increased demand for tea to - day is due to to the tact thii. hutfe quantities are wanted for th*: IfS million men under arms. Hie Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and beneficial, and hence they must have tea foi their men no matter what it costs Then, too, at the stroke oi a pen, *he 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 Ceylon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2\& to 3d per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects New Zeal? jid very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at pricea which cannot be equalled. Although this teems 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 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. ■ ■ ■" "i '•* ! Tea experts the world over are.astonished at the remarkable quality, flavoiir. fragrance and value giv.en m "Amber Tips" at so low a price, and it ik Because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that "Amber Tips" is to-day the moat popular brand in New Zealand, Millions of packets of "Ainborn Tip»" are sold per annum. It is stocked in every shop from the North Cap* to the Bluff. Only exceptional value cop Id bo responsible for so axceptistnal,a sale. But fine tea is now costing the "Amber Tips" Proprietors, as well as other tea merchants, an average of 2£d f , to 3d. per lb. more th*u in■ August/!5*14. , Therefore, if a fair price was charged 1 before the war, the tea merchant is to-day faced with sn enormous loss should he continue to pack tho same quality at his old prices. Of coure there ir the alternate <■ •< ■' -A cheapening the quality »y an admix lure of inferior, less healthful tea*, 'i\h<i "Amber Tips" Proprietors wore sd\'ise<l by many to do this, but instead they decided "to raise the price by 2d) per lb., and to continue to give the MPIW that same splendid value wuicii i-|aaß alwjtyN been associated with the D'tfme'"Amber Tips." '" ; in:' o/li Now, Mrs. Housewife, what is your opinion of the whole matter ? . Would vou rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a Hb. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? But you say "other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you csn readily see that either excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2Jd. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit tobe made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy loss* must be 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, whi'e it is so Eura and healthful thai it can be taken y oven those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with 70a. Consider them carefully—write and tell us your conclusions. We believe that you want quality and that you want value. For that reason wo have raised our prices because only by doing so can we continue to give you the same honest quality and the same honest va!:* 4 *. 103 I/10, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. \ The only tea that has to increase its j prias — thtforegoing will tell you why. | 1 v. •
