Comoarison of Colour. *. . ■ If you were ask-d tU question, "Is there any difference in the colour of Ihs vaiious brands of laundry blue on the market ?" your answer would probably be " No ! iheie isn't I" and you would be quite wrong, - for there is a difference. "Royal_B!tie," or "Empire Blue," As it is more faaii!sarl> called, is not so dark as the others. The accuracy cf this slalement can be easily pioved.

The 1905-1906 season's "Standard" brand tea, which is packed in billy canisters containing 31bs nett weight at 5s 6d is pronounced to be the finest tea now sold. There are no "prizes" or coupoDS with it— the value is in the article itself. Where "prizet" are given it must be apparent that their value comes off the quality of tbe tea. The * 'Standard" brand in billies is the best tea obtainable, and it costs only about Is 8d per lb, Don't take any other, but insist ou having the "Standard"' brand. Sold in useful billies at 5s 6d by all storekeepers and grocers and by Paterson , Micbel & Co., Ltd.— Advt.
