JAM PRIMO. SOME time ago we published a small paragraph ou the unsatisfactory nature of much of the jam retailed in the colony. This reached Messrs Kirkpatrick and Co,, of Nelson, and they went to work in a very practical fashion to prove that the jama manufactured by the firm were of the best quality. Two cases of assorted jams were sent to this office, with a request that wo would thoroughly test the jam along with other brands and give our opinion. We are happy to state, frankly and fully, that we have been very much surprised, as prior to the receipt of Messrs Kirkpatrick’s gift we were unaware that New Zealand could boast of an industry of which it has so much reason to be proud. The various sorts of jam were tested by a number of persons, who compared the samples with other brands, and the general verdict is that not only are Messrs Kirkpatrick’s productions far and away better than any other New Zealand brand we can obtain, but they are superior to English jams in being fresher. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Nelson jam was that contained in tins bearing ( the name of a Tasmanian firm, bub even in this comparison the Nelson article came out a long way best. We are pleased to bo able to give unstinted praise to a genuine local industry, the product of we can unreservedly recommend to consumers. All of the many persons who have tasted the samples are loud in their praise, and we most unreservedly congratulate Messrs Kirkpatrick and Co. ypon turning out a genuine fruit jam fit to grace the tables and please the palates of the most luxurious and fastidious. ‘ Hawke's Bay Herald ,” J uly 18. Samples of Kirkpatrick and Co’s “K” brand of jam have been forwarded to us and we are free to confess that they appear to bo in every way excellent and as they become better known in the local market will meet with much appreciation from the heads of households. The maker assorts that none but the purest fruits grown in Nelson are used in his manufactures, and we are content to accept the assurance. Certainly the jams possess a richness and freshness of flavour that bears the assertion out. —Dunedin "Star,’ July 3rd.
