Giving evidence before the Cost of" Living Commission, Mr Hunt, manager ! of the New Zealand Farmers' Co-oper-ative Company, said it was almost im- | possible to sell dairy butter to the public. Most of it went to the pastry cooks because the consumer demanded wellknown brands. Last winter, when but- [ ter was Is 6d, all honey went begging at 3£d a lb. People did not adapt themselves to the position, and it made one think the cost of living did not press so heavily upon the people. Some people have a mania for advertising. Grieve, jeweller, for instance. He's always advertising his reliable watches, and there's really no need, be- i cause tliey advertise themselves. Are] you having a guess?*
