|U|ERCHANTS IN NEW ZEALAND WRITING TO CEYLON TO OBTAIN SHATURA TEA. THE tollowing copy of a letter was written by the exporters of Suratura Tea to the Wellington agents:— “ Colombo, 2nd Sept, 1895. “ Dear Sirs, —There seems to be a great deal of correspondence between dealers in your Colony and merchants here re Suratura Teas, and we have on more than one occasion heard them highly spoken of in Colombo. We mention this as tee think it will be as well for you i n self-protection to register the mark (if you have not already done so) as early as possible, as we ourselves have known the labels of other wellknown brands very closely, if not almost, copied, and we feel sure were this to happen to Suratura, and inferior teas sold under a similar, or perhaps the. same name, it would be very detrimental to all parties concerned. Of course, we refuse to ship the teas (Suratura) to any firm but your good selves, and shall always endeavour to protect you at this end as far as is in our power. — Yours, etc., . . .” The endeavour made to obtain this wonderful Tea is proof of its public appreciation and quality. The duty on Suratura is charged at 4d per lb. the old rate being 6d.

STEADY I I There is a Run on onr Blends. While we are glad to see it, And happy to keep pace with it, We want to point out THERE IS NO NEED FOR ALARM. THE QUALITY ALWAYS THE SAME. And will be just as good next week as this. We hold an immense stock, and there is ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY. Please keep calm, WE WON’T FAIL YOU. Yours faithfnlly, EMPIRE TEA COMPANY. W. & G. TURNBULL & CO., Proprietors.
