DEMAND FOR NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE
■, "In Great Britain: everybody speaks well: of the produce which they get from New Zealand, and I thinK* they could'cousume more of our main products—meat and butter chiefly—which I always . found had a • very good name," said Mr. ' Edwin Milnes, who returned to Christchurch on Sunday from a visit to the Old Country and the. Continent (states the."Christchurch 'fimes"). "Unless people specially ask for New ; Zealand produce, however, another product will be sold to them, not.as a New Zealand article but because' the . storekeepers perhaps have more of the other article to sell." Mr. Milnes did not consider that the state of affairs that. he observed could be attributed to the failure of New Zealand's advertising campaign. "I think the. people at Home are getting educated to ask more for. New Zealand produce, or produce from the colonies," he - said. .. "I don't think the advertising campaign is ineffective, but it takes a long time to educate ' the British public. However, Ijhey are asking for colonial products more'than they ever have done on the occasion .of my previous visits to England." ■
