y 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 remarkable chances that have occurred in the tea trade within the last eight months—changes which !we resulted in grerftly increased prices. As was shown in the first article of this series, tea is in great lemand as the beverage of the 25 Siflion men who are under arms r ' lay, due to the fact that it is most stimulating and invigorating drink—easily transported and jea'sily handled. :j * But there is another element which exerts almost as great ITnI influence in the steadily rising cost of tea. This factor is Russia, with its enormous population of over 160 millions, which, at the strokeof a pen—in almost a single iiight-4-has been turned into nation oltea jdriiikers. :* Whatjthis means is readily seen •when one considers that until September last the Russian people consumed less than 1 lb. of tea per head per annum ; whereas in our own Maoriland the average is over 7ilbs, ot tea per head per annum. Moreover, the money previously spent on other beverages by Russia is now available for tea. Hence, at the tea auctions, enormous quantities have been bought bv Russian representatives, who readily pay increasing prices to secure what tliey want. & As a result, tea to-day costs the ©lender in New Zealand an aver- !&£• of 2\6. tc 3d. per lb. more than eight months ago, and. unless fie is to face an enormous loss, he lias only two alternatives —to tediice his quality or increase his vices. f Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging an excessive price for inferior tz'<\. »If so, he is stiil able to sell the same grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profit. Jj\mber Tips" policy has always hL'c.i to give the best value the world can produce at the most reasonable prices. It has been decided to continue this policy, therefore the price has been slightly increased—by 2d. per lb. 'Although advised, by many to jreduce costs by the admixture of liarsber, inferior and less liealthfi 1 teas, the proprietors are deternflucd to maintain thnt standard of quality and •value -which has mu«le'"Amber Tips" the I jnost widely sold blend in the Dominion to-day—the most largely sold blend of any country in the world in proportion to population. Thus.if the name "Amber Tips" is on the packet, you know that it contains the finest, purest and best tea that can ■fee"'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 tbe weakest digestion, without baini. It is also well to remember thrt *" Amber Tips" gives more cups of delicious, ffairraut tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs yon less than others—it is still the cheapest tea in Hie Dominion, even though the prices have been slightly incre.u.ed. 3Ve believe that the housewives of 'JN'ew Zealand would rather secure the finest value that can be given—even at a slightly inci eased price —than that quality ami values should be cheapened. It is now for you to show whether yon approve of this decision or not.
