iTTHZFSTJi The decani series that Every Housewife Should Read. It is indeed hard for the New Zealand housewife to realise the Temarkable changes that have occurred in the tea trade within the last eight months —changes which have 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 great an influence in the steadily rising 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 bead per annum ; whereas in our own Maori-land' the average is over 7Albs, of 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 they want. © As a result, tea to-day costs the blender in New Zealand an average of to 3d. per lb. more , than eight months ago, and. unless I jhe is to face an enormous loss, he las only two alternatives —to ! reduce his quality or increase his I prices. " 1 Either course is reasonable, and there is no escape—unless, before the war, he was charging an excessive price for interior tea. If so, lie is still able to sell the grade at the old figure and probably still make a good profit- - u\mber Tips" policy has always bcx.it to give the best value the world can produce at the most reasonable prices. It has been to continue this, policy, therefore the price has been slightly increased —by 2d. per lb. Although advised by ma:iy to areduce costs by the admixture of Larsher, inferior and less healthful teas, She proprietors are determined to maintain that standard of quality and value which has made''Amber Tips'' the saost widely »old blend in the.Doiuinion to-day—the most largely sold blend of any {•tun try in the world in proportion %o population. Thus,if the name "Amber Tips" is on tie packet, you know that it contains the finest, purest and best tea that can i>e produced for the money—that it contains a tea which is so pure and SieaHbful that it 'call ba used by children, and by those with the weakes-t digestion, without harm. v Jt is also well to remember that ** Amber Tips" gives more cups of delicions. frajrrant tea of delightful flavour. Thus it still costs you less than others—it L* si ill the cheapest tea in the Dominion, even though the prices have been *la«ht!y increased. We believe (hat the housewives of 2few Zealand would rather secure the finest value that can be given—even at a slightly incieased price—than that quality and values should be cheapened. It is now for you to show whether yon approve of this decision or not. ■
