!ests 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 changes that have occurred in the tea trade within the 3ast eight months—changes which Tiave resulted in greatly increased prices. As was shown in the first article of this series, tea is in great -demand as the beverage of the 25 million men who are under arms to-day. due to the fact that it is the most stimulating and invigorating drink —easily transported and easily handled. But there is another element ■which exerts almost as i great .an influence in the steadily ri-sing cost of tea. This factor is Russia, with its enormous population of over 160 millions, which, at the stroke of a pen—in almost a single night—has been turned into nation of tea drinkers. What this 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 Mnoriland the average is over 7Mbs, ot tea per head per annum. Moreover, the money previously spent or. other beverages by Russia is now available for tea. Hence, at the tea auctions, enormous quantities have been bought by Russian representatives, who readily pay increasing prices to secure what they want, © As a result, tea to-dav costs the blender in New Zealand an average of 2\<S. to 3d. per lb. more' than eight months ago, and. unless he is to face an enormous loss, he has only two alternatives —to reduce his quality or increase his prices. Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging an excessive price for inferior tea. If so, he is still able to sell the same grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profit • £\mber Tips" policy has always beln 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 reduce costs by the admixture of harsher, inferior and less healthful teas, the proprietors are determined to maintain that standard of quajitvarid value which has made'"Amber Tips" the most 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 canbe 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 weakest digestion, without harm. i.It is also well to remember that "Amber Tips" gives more cups of delicious, fragrant tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs you less than othersit is still the cheapest tea in the Dominion, even though the prices have been slightly increased. We "believe that the housewives of New Zealand would rather secure the finest value that can be given—even at a slightly increased price—than that quality and values should bo cheapened. II is now for you txvshow whether «ou approve of this decition or not.
