DOMINION’S BUTTER

ENGLISH CHEF’S PRAISE.

BETTER THAN DANISH.

Praise for New Zealand butter is contained in a letter from the chef of the Cafe Anglais, at the Hotel Metropole, Brighton, a well-known English hotel. The letter was handed to the Auckland Chamber of Commerce recently and, in the opinion of the president, Mr. A. G. Lunn, it reveals . the necessity' for improved marketing and adver-' tising methods for New Zealand dairy produce in England. A New Zealand lady in England sent to the chef samples of New Zealand and Danish butter which she had purchased in London. The chef’s reply reads as follows: “We have received the samples, for which we thank you very much. After having tested and sampled the two kinds, we decided that they were both excellent, more especially the New Zealand butter, which was exceptionally good?’ 1 Mr. Lunn claims that this opinion should be reassuring to many New Zealanders, who have been unable to see why Danish butter should command a. higher price than Dominion produce. He adds that the invoices from London stores were sent with both samples, showing that the New Zealand butter sold for lOd a pound and the Danish for Is a pound. In another case, the respective prices were lid and Is 2d. Expert opinion did not seem to bear out the disparity in price.
