The competition which the proprietors of Tiger Tea have been advertising recently, and which closed on March 31st, has, we understand, proved a great success so far as the number of entries was concerned. Competitors had to supply two missing adjectives describing a quality of the tea, and also, the position which it holds. The words selected were "economical" and " matchless," but strangely enough only five had even one word right. To these five the proprietors have given a prize of £1 each, and an additional one to a Miss Bertha Baker, of South Dunedin, for an excellent design sent in. The names of the prizewinners are advertised in this issue.
