A Statement that Every Housewife Should Re%*d The war has faced e\ery tea merchant with the problem of increasing prices or reducing hie quality. He has to follow one course or the other —there's no escape—for the wholesale cost of fine tea in Eastern markets has increased over 2ld. 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’ beverage—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 arms inEurope to-day were previously tea drinkers—yet almost in a day tea had to be found for them.

Do you wonder then, that the tea has gone up, u p, up in price?—* that to-day line tea costs the packer in New Zealand on the average 2|[d. to 3d. per lb. more than in August last. v Cg.-{del 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 willsee 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. Them’s no escape from the facta—either prices have to he increased—or, as an alternative, quality and value mustbe reduced !»y the admixture of cheaper, interior, less healthful lens. The “Amber Tips” Proprietors rre determined that, in their case, this alternative will never be taken. “Amber Tips” remarkable rise in a few years from an unknown brand to by f&r the largest selling tea in New Zealandthe largest selling tea in the world. 'in proportion to population—is duo to its quality and remarkable value. The same wonderful value will still be given—nothing but tine finest- teas will be used, but. to do so the price has to be increased. We are convinced that most homes in New Zealand would rather pay 2d. per lb. more and get the finesttea that can be produced rather than pay the old price and got an inferior article—with an admixture of poorer teas, less healthful alike 10 nerves and digestion. Forge t quality an d hen IHi fit in css- -consider the question purely from the standpoint 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 stiii the cheapest—you getbet ter tea—more delicious flavour—finer fragrance—ldle, as the L*ncet investigation showed, your healtii will benefit. Surely because of a penny extra per ha! f lb. packet you will not deprive yourself ot a tea which quality, flavour,, fragrance, and economy is unique and unsurpassable. The housewives of New Zealand .want a good article and good value, and or.es trial convinced them that Amber Tips is a tea that nothing else could equal. Do they sri’l want value and quality? We believe they do—wt know it. 99f ... -s A 7; 1/10-, 2/., 2,'2 per lb. The may ten that has /.» Increase its . ■prices — the foregoing ioill tell yen why. •
