Why Tea Costs More — The Second Article of a series that Every Housewife Should Read. It is indeed hard for the New Zealand housewife to realise the emarkable chanties that have ocanred in the tea trade within the ast eight months—changes which lave resulted in greatly increased jrices. As was shown in the first irticle of this series, tea is in great iemand as the beverage of the 25 nillion men who arc under arms o-day. due to the fact that it is he most stimulating and invigoriting drink —easily transported and rasily handled. But there is another element vhich exerts almost as great m influence in the steadily rising :ost of tea. This factor is Russia, vith its enormous population of )ver 160 millions, which, at the troke of a pen—in almost a single light—has been turned into nation )f tea drinkers. What this means is readily seen vlien one considers that until Sepember last the Russian people ronsnmed less than 1 lb. of tea per lead per annum; whereas in our ivvn Maoriland the average is >ver oi tea per head per innum.

Moreover, the money previously pent on other beverages by Russia now available for tea. Hence, ,i the tea auctions, enormous quanities have been bought by Russian epresentatives, who readily pay ncreasing prices to secure what hey want As a result, tea to-day costs the lender in New Zealand an average of 2~a'd. to 3d. per lb. j*orc han eight months ago, and. unless e is to face an enormous loss, he iias only two alternatives —to educe his quality or increase his rices. Either course is reasonable, and here is no escape—unless, before he war, he was charging an excessive price for inferior tea. if so, he is still able to sell the ;ame grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profitTips” policy has always to give the best value the .vorld can produce at the most easonable orices. It has been lecided to continue this policy, herclore the price has been slighty increased—by 2d. per lb. Although advised by raai -y to •educe costs by the admixture of inrsber, inferior arid less heullhfid ton*, the ]|l proprietor* are determined to maintain that, standard of quality and value which has made “Amber Tips” the most widely sold bleud in the Dominion to-day—the most largely sold blend of any country in the world in proportion to population. Thus, if the name “ Ambar Tips’-’ is on the packet, you know that it contains the finest, purest and beta tea. that can be produced for the money—that it contains a tea which is so pure and healthful that it can be used by children. and by those with the wexkert digestion, without hat ir. It is also well to remember that “ Amlvsj* Tips” gives more enjm of delicious. fnvrratit tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs you lens than other*— it is still the cheapest lea in tl»« Dwiuia* ion. even though tije prices hare beia slightly increased. We l*elieve that the housewives of New Zealand would rather secure the finest value iliht, om be given—even at a slightly rncresnad price - than that quality anti values should be cheapened. It is now for you to show whether you approve of this decision or not.
