T RY J£ IRKPATRICK ' S SPECIAL QUALITY FRESH FRUIT "X" JAMS. JAM PRTUO. 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 practical fashion to prove that tbe jams manufactured by the firm were of the best quality. Two cases of assorted jama i were sent to this office, with a request that we would thoroughly test the jam along with other brands, and give our opinion We are hnppy to Rtatp. frankly and fully, that we have heen very much nurprißfd. us pTirr to the receipt of Messrs. Kirkpatrick's g'ft we were nnawnre thaf New Zealand could bonst of an industry ot which it ha*» so nanch renson to be prond. The various sorts of jaia were tested by a number of pe'sons, v, ho compared the samples with ot her brands, and the general vprrtict is thar not only are Messrs. Kirkpatrick 'p prooiietionß far and nwny better than any other Npw Zealand brand we can ohiain, but Ucv are superior to EnglUh j«ni9 in tcitier fiet-bfr. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Ntlson jam was that contained m tins btaricg the name of a Tasmanian firm, but even iv this comparison the Nelson article came out a leng way best. We oic plcastd to be able to give unttinted praise to a genuine lecal industry, the product of which we can unreservedly recommend to comurxura. All of the many persona who have t* stfd tl'p samples aie lon \ in their praise, and we niun unieserveJly congratulate Messrs. Knkpatrick and Co. upon turning out a genuine fruit jam fir to grace the tables and please thf pilates of the most luxurious «,nd fnsiidioiu.— Jlaivke's Say Herald, July 18.
