This, of course,, affect* Ne Zealand very greatly., for the fine tea in the world lias, beejtt. so] here at prices which, cannot I equalled. Although 1 this seems a, bo! statement, it is ,one that wi bear the closest investigation, F< instance, a great proportion^ < the tea imports to England consi of what is known as "red stalk 5 ' td the lowest possible grade*— so to that it is prohibited thtough<y Australasia. Yet even thislowc grade is sold in England at l'/6 i more per lb., while for fine teas i the quality of " Amber Tips*!' % to 3/4 per lb; is askedi Tea expertt. the world over are »»to lulled at the remarkable quality, flatcv fragrance and valnp given in "Amb Tips" at so low a nrkxj,. aud it is btctu no batter value can be, obtained 1 &h , whore, that "Amber Tips'* it* to-day tl most popular brand 1 in ; N«w Zealna ' Millions of pockets of "Amb«ra Tip are aold per annum.

Now,, Mrs. Housewife, whit is yo opinion of the whole matter ? Would you rather have the same 6 lightful. flavour, quality, purity m value and pay a penny a |-lb. pack 'nore—or would you rather have an i fofiov and leas healthful tea at th» o price ? But you say "other teas have not be raised in price*," ■ If so you can ceadi 1 see that oitW excessive prices wo ■ charged 1 before' the tvir— so excesisi ' that even an extra 2£di ox 3d; in cc per lb. still' enables a profit to be ma —or quality must be reduced, oth< x heavy loss must be faced, • But even at increased figures Amb Tips iB still the cheapest tea you c buy.
