A. Statement that Every Housewife Should Read The war has faced every tea merchant with the problem of increasing prices or reducing his quality. He has to follow one course or the other —there’s no escape—For the wholesale cost of hue tea in Eastern markets has increased over 2gd. per lb. since August last. The main reason for this rise has been the greatly increased demand —and the fact that tea production cannot materially increase for at least live years. Take for instance the enormous quantity of tea required for the men in the trenches and on active service. It is readily seen why tea has been selected as the soldiers’ bever-age--it is easily transported —is quickly and readily prepared anywhere—and above ail it is invaluable for its invigorating and stimulating qualities. With the exception of 3 million Britishers, but few of the 25 million men under arms in Europe to-day we e previously tea drinkers —yet almost in a day tea had to be found lor them. Do you wonder then, that the tea has gone up, up, up in 'price?— that to-.day hne tea costs the packer in New Zealand on the average 2|d. to 3d. per lb. more than in August last. x <&ddd 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 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 from the facts—either prices have to lie increased— or, as an alternative, quality and value must be reduced by the admixture of onesper, inferior, less healthful teas.

Ths “Amber Tips” PropnAors are determined that, in their case, this alternative will never bo taken. “Amber Tips” remarkable rise in a few years from an unknown brand to by faff Use largest selling tea in New 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 tho finest teas will be used, but to do so the price has to he increased. We arc 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 tire old price and get an inferior article —with an admixture of poorer teas, less healthful alike to nerves and digestion. Forget quality and hsalthf ulnvss—conJ sider the question purely from the standj point of economy—there too “Amber Tips” leads, for every pound will give more cups—and at a 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 j fragrance—while, as the Lancet investij gallon showed, your healtn will benefit, i Surely because of a penny extra per j half lb. packet you will not deprive your- ( self of a tea which for quality, flavour, fragrance, and economy is unique and unsurpassable. The housewives of New Zealand want a good article and good value, and on© 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 1/1 O-, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. The only tea that has to increase its prices — the foregoing icill tell you why.
