The Third Article of a. Series dealing with a question which vitally affects every housewife. Thj >w~reased demand for tea to-day-is due to to the fact that huge quafttt fes are wanted for the 25 million- men under arms. The Heads of the Armies of the world know that there is no drink so stimulating and,, beneficial, and hence thev must have tea for their men no matter what it costs. Then, too, at the stroke of a pen, the great Russian Nation has been turned into a tea drinking people, and the money previously ■spent on Vodka is now available for the purchase of tea. But there is only a limited uippl-j of tea and that supply is not sufficient to fill the present retirements. Hence at the tea auctions in Jevlon it has risen in price month by month, until to-day it costs the packer to 3d per lb. more than in August last. This, 'of course, affects New Zealand very greatly, for the finest tea in the world has been sold here at prices which cannot be e iiialled. 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 low that 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 of the quality of " Amber Tips," 2/8 to 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, and it is because no better value can be obtained anywhere, that "Amber Tips" is today the moat popular brand in New Zealand, Millions of packets of "Ambers Tips" are sold per annum. It is stocked in every shop from the North Cape to the Bluff. Only exceptional value could be responsible for so exceptional a sale. But fine tea is now costing the "Amber Tips" Proprietors, as well as other tea merchants, an average of 2Jd. to 3d. per lb. more than in August, 1914. Therefore, if a fair price was charged before the war, the ten merchant is to-day faced with an enormous loss should he continue to pack the same quality at his old prices. '/■ Of coure there is the alternative of cheapening the quality by an admixture of inferior, less healthful teas, The "Amber Tips" Proprietors were advised by many to do this, but instead they decided to raise the price by 2d. per lb", and to continue to give 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 1-lb. packet more—or would you rather have an inferior and less healthful tea at the old price ? But y«usay "other teas have not been raised in prices." If so you can readily see that either excessive prices were charged before the war—so excessive that even an extra 2Jd, or 3d, hi cost per lb. still enables a prefit to be made —or quality must be reduced, othera heavy less must be faced. But even at increased figures Amber Tips is still the cheapest tea yeu can buy. Cup for enp, value for value, nothing else can equal it, while it is so pure and healthful that it can be taken Surely these facts should weigh with you.
