The Third Article of a Series dealing wiiii a question which vitally , affects every housewife. The increased demand for tea today is due to to the'fact that huge quantities are wanted for the 2S million men under arms. '1 he Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink sostimulating and beneficial, and hence thev must have lea lor their men no matter what it costsThen, too, at the stroke of a. pen, the great Russian Nation hasbeen turned into a tea drinking: people, and ihe money previously spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase of tea. But there is only a limited supply of tea and that supplv is not sufficient to fill the present requirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Ceylon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer 2-ki to 3d per lb. more than in August last. This, of course, affects NewZealand very greatly, for the finest tea. in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be equalled. Although this seems a bold statement, it is one that will bear the closest investigation. For instance, a great proportion of the tea imports to England consist of what is known as "red stalk'/ tea,., the lowest possible grade—so lowthat it is prohibited throughout Australasia. Yet even this lowest grade is sold in England at 1/6 or more per lb., while for fine teas :>f the quality of "Amber Tips," 1/8to 3/4 per lb. is asked. . Tea experts*the world over are astonished at the remarkable quality, flavour,, fragrance and value given in " Amber. Tips" at so low a price, ami it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that "Amber Tips" is to-day die most popular brand ; i JST?.w Zeatand. Millions of packets'-,: "Ambers Tips- 1 are sold per annum. It isjsfcockfcu in every shop from the.Xprth Cape to the Bluff. Only exceptional value could l>e responsible for so-exceptional :i sale. But fine tea is i:ow costing Hie "Amber Tips" Proprietors, as well an other tea merchants, au average of 2sd* to 3d. per lb. more than in Angust,l9t4. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war. the tea mercl nut is to-day faced with ai. enormous loss should ho continue; to pack the t f-ame quality at his old* prices. Of conre there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas. The '•AmberTips*' Proprietors were advised by many to do this, but instead they decided"to raise the price by 2d. per lb., and to continue to aire the public that same splendid value which has always been associated with the name "Amber Tips." Now, Mrs. Housewife, what is your opinion of the whole matter? Would you rather have the same delightful flavour, quality, purity and value and pay a penny a i-lb. packer. more—or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at tin old. price ? But you say "other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you can readily see thac either excessive prices were charged befuro the war—so excessive that even an extra £Jd. or 3d. in cost per lb. still enables a profit to be made —or quality must be reduced, other* a heavy loss must he faced. .rubers Tipse cK,.,-W.. ;•

But even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea you can buy. Cup for cup, value for value, nothing else can equal it, while it is so pure and healthful that it can lie taken by even those of the weakest digestion. Surely these facts should weigh with you. Consider them carefully—write and 'ell us your conclusions. We believe that you want quality and that you want value. For that reason we have raised our prices because only by doing so can we continue to give you the same honest quality and the same honest value. 101 1/10, 2/-, 2/2 per lb. The only tea that has to increase its prices — the foregoing will tell you why.
