TRICKS IN THE TEA TRADE. A New Zealanders Complaint to the Ceylon Tea Growers' Association. IMITATION is the sheerest form of flattery, and when the copyist embarks in his nefarious business he invariably selects some article with an established reputation to simulate. The genuine article suffers in two ways : It loses business by the substitution of the fraud, and loses character by its inferiority. The Tea Planters' Association of Ceylon has had its attention drawn to what is going on in this colony. The following extract fi-oin a letter discussed by the Association from a gentleman in the South Islaud ot New Zealand indicates what is goiDg on in tbib colony. This letter appears in the Overland Ceylon Observer of lb'th June, 1898 :— ''In the first place much Tea is sold in New Zealand under the name of Ceylon which is nothing more than ' BLENDS OF LOW CLASS GRADES WITH CHINA, FIJI AND OTHIiR POOR TEAS.' Theseare packed locally and SOLD AS CEYLON. "I have been able to trace one instince in which locally-packed Teas, made up in lead packets, have been labelled 'Coylon.'and the labels bear the imprint of 'C. B. Hall, Printer, Colombo.' On enquiry I am assured that no such printer exists, hence the label is NOTHING LESS THAN'AFORGERY for the purpose of giving the only available guarantee of a genuine Ceylon packed packet, viz., THE PRINTER'S NAME." The best safeguard for the public is to rigorously demand to be supplied with a Tea that is above suspicion. SURATURA TEA lias no rival in this respect.^ No one has yet had the hardihood to attempt tricks on it, as its agents are too jealous of its high reputation to give a chance to imitators, and the imitators know this and are wise in their generation. Therefore SURATURA TEA may be purchased with confidence. ' 616 t ] 'i REGULAR AUCTION SALES , HMD SY HUNTER AND TVrOLAN fliUora^EßS & Commission Aoentßi ' AUCKLAND. < , i
