A Sensible Talk.

People won’t be humbugged for ever. The intelligent public" are getting io know that in the matter of tea quality is the first consideration, and the real test of value. You can have ted mended to any price; if it is low grade the* price is cheap, but if it is high grade the price is high accordingly. The man who sells really good tea, mended or unmended, at low prices tells a I—we1 —we mean he equivocates I It can't be done, and we won’t pretend to attempt it. But say, look here, this is what we do claim to do, and we do do it: (1) We give the best tea which it is possible to supply at the price; (2) we give genuine hillgrown Ceylon tea of great strength and full rich flavour; (3) we give the tea as it is packed in Ceylon free from all mixture with “ tea-dust ” and worse compounds ; (4) we give you a tea positively free from “ doctoring ” with chemicals, colouring matter, etc. We give you the genuine tea of tbe Ceylon Co operative Tea Gardens Company, whose teas, - against all rivals, were awarded thegrand first prize at the Paris Exhibition, Surely a Convincing proof of quality I' - On other.haad;We dficl’t sell tea, and give window curtains, swallow-tailed coats-, •or ZEsop’s Fables with each packet gratis.
