PUBLIC NOTICES. TEA 1 BLENJJING. AN eminent tea expert, writing in the ' Tea ind Coffee Trade Journal,' says: "Tea blending is a scientific art. and the acme of the art is to * lift' blends up, not To depress thetu to a dull average. The expert will blend medium and finequality teas in such a way as to make a "line liquoring,* not a medium cup; The great secret is to select for your 'fetching up' grade a tea that can "dominate the blend. For this, great experience and u highly-trained palate are essential. No hard-and-fast rules can be laid down, but there is a great prize to be gained by the successful individual who by "his skill can make, for two or three pence a pound less money, a blend that shall equal the more expensive one of the inexpert blender." In New Zealand expert tea blenders are tew -and far between, and while there are inany brands of blended teas on the market, few are the work of real experts. For the most port vhe teas are mixed in a haphazard kind of way, the main object being the obtaining of a maximum profit. Uniformity of quality or flavor under such conditions is unpossible, and purity problematical. There 13 one firm in New Zealand who have for many years been selling tho finest blended teas 111 Australasia. Blended by an expert of great experience and unique 'skill, who also has the advantage of his firm's superior buying and importing capabilities, these teas a™ undoubtedly very fine examples of the blenders art, and at the various prices at which they are sold they are undcuiablv the best value obtainable in the Dominion. ]\e refer to "Tiger" Teas. That they have /or so many years retained their snprcmacv and great popularity in the face of inewsaeed competition is evidence of tlie public's critical abilities. Tho people of New Zealand arc, on the whole, good judges of tea, and as Tiger ' Tea is still the pick of the «reat majority, nothing further need be added except that they are obtainable from all stores at Is 4d, Is 6d. Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb That, at Is 8d per lb is the most favored at present. It is a very fine tea, and those who cannot afford the higher-priced ' Tiger" Teas find it quite as good as other brands of tea at 2s a lb. Those, however who are compelled to buy a low-priced tea will get the best value for their monev both 111 quality and flavor, if Ihev buv tlie lowpriced "Tiger" blends.

TO UNIONISTS. 1 Saturday night's meeting ofJ.be South- - land Trades and Labor Council a letter read from the secretary of the Dunedin tatters Union asking for the co-operation of all unionists with a view to bringing about a better state of thirds in the felt hat trade The letter stated that the number of members had been reduced since 1903 by onethird, since which time the industry had declined to its present status. The importation amounted to 1,000 dozen hats per week If only half of this quantity were made locally a. great improvement would be felt not, only in the hat trade, but in kindred trades. The letter concluded as follows ■•— "When buying, ask for and demand the locally-made article. You can ;jct it if von will only insist upon having "it. You will find that it is quite as good and cheap as the imported hat." It was decided to inform the Hatters' Union that their appeal had the approval of the Council, and that all the workers would l»e asked to give their hearty co-opcralion.—' Star,' 2nd February. 1909.
