A Statement that Every Housewife Should Read The wan has faced every tea merchant with the problem of increasing prices or reducing his quality. Me has to follow one course or the other—there's? no escape—for the wholesale cost of line tea in Idas tern markets has increased over 2-kl. 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 23 million men under arms in Kurope 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, up, uo in price?—■ that to-day fine tea costs the packer in New Zealand on the average 2id. to 3d. per lb. more than in August last. • v ■IS-Add to this Russia’s 1 60 millions, who, with a stroke of the pen, have been turned into tea drinkers by the Vodka prohibition and a score of minor causes and yen will see whv the increase had to come.

Therefore, 100, you will see that any lea 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 bom the.facts — ailhor prices have to he increased—or, as an alternative, quality anil value must he reduced by the adiub-un eof cheaper, inferior, loss heaxhfu! Imo'The “Amber Tips” Proprietors afe determined that, in- their case, this alternative will never he taken. “Amber Tips” remarkable rise in a few years from an unknown brand to by fa/.the 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 the 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 finest tea that can be produced rattier than pay the old price and get an inferior article —with an admixture of poorer teas, less healthful alike to nerves and digestion. Forget quality and health fulness—conaider 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 still ihe cheapest—you get better tea—iiiorejlelicious flavour—finer fragrance—while, as the I.«ncet investigation showed, your health will benefit. Surely because of a penny extra per half ib. packet you will not deprive yourself of a tea which for' quality, fisvonr, fragrance, and economy is unique and unsurpassable. The housewives of New Zealand want a good article and good value, and or.e 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 ./'"w. .. «v \
