They are really appetising beoause eeductively rich, fragrant, and revivifying. . They are truly economical because, you know, they require considerably leas in the brewing than other teas, being of full strength. Take Tiger Tea at Iβ Bd, for initance. This is quite the lowest price for a tea of equal value, in the Dominion. The Is 10d Tiger is undoubtedly equal to any 2s tea on the market. While the 2s Tiger is eo superior >' to any other that we believe you'll . never go back to the brand you are using once you try it. If you want the best, get Tiger. All grocers sell it. 0 «° R R D D E "TIGER" E R R TEA. S S 0 0 M M EE S. N. SPEIfiS, TIMBER MERCHANT, FOXTON.
