T RY K IRKPATRICK ' S SPECIAL QUALITY FRESH FRUIT "X" JAMS. JAM PRIMO; Some time since we published a small paragraph on the unsatisfactory nature of much of the jam retailed in the Colony, This ; reached Messrs. Eirkpatrick and Co., of Nelson, and they went to work in a very practioal fashion to prove that the jams manufactured by the firm were of the best q«ality. Two cases of assorted jams were sent to this office, with a request thai w« 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 »urprinpd, bs prior to tbt receipt of Messrs. Kirkpatrick's gift ww were unaware tha f New Zealand could boast of an indnrtrv of which it hai so mncb reason to br proud, The various sorts of jam were tested by a number of persons, who compared tbe samples with other brands, and tbe general verdict is that not only are Messrs. Kirkpatrick's productions far and away hptter than any other New Zealand brand we can obtain, but they are superior to Engliih jams in heing frether. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Nelson jam was that contained in tins bearing the name of a Tas< manian firm, but even in this comparison the Nelson article cams out a long way best. We are pleased to be able to give unstinted praise to a genmine looal industry, tbe product of which we can unreservedly r&commend to consumers. All of the many persons who have tf sted the samples are loud in their praise, and we mn»t unreservedly congratulate Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Co. upon turning out a genuine fruit jam fit, to grace the tablet and please tha palates of tbe most loiurinug and fastidious. — Han\e l 8l 8 Bay Herald, July 18. Samples of Kirkpatrick and Co.'s •• X " brand of jam have been forwarded to us, and wo are free to confess that they appear to be in every way excellent, and as they become better known in the local market will meet with muoh appreciation from the beads of house, hoi dp. Tbe maker asserts that none but th« purest fruits grown in Nelson are used in his manufactures, and we are content to accept that assurance. Certainly tho jams poaaess a richneia and freshness of flavour that bean that a-naertioi out. — Dunediq Star, July 3. ■S. KIRKPATRICK AND CO., MANUFACTURERS, NELSON.
