T RY j£ IRKPATRICK ' s SPECIAL QUALITY FRESH FRUIT "X" JAMS. JAM PRIMO. Some time since we published a small paragraph on the nnsatiifactory nature of much of the jam retailed in the Colony, This reached Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Co., of Nelson, and they went to work in a very practical fashion to prove that the jams manufactured by the firm were of the best quality. Two cases of assorted jama 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 happy to state, frankly and fnllv, that we have been very much surprised, as prior to the receipt of Messrs. Kirkpatrick 's gift we were unaware that New Zealand could boast of an industry of which it hai so much reason to be proud. The various sorts of jam were tested by a number of persons, wbo compared the samples with other brands, and the general verdict is that not only are Messrs. Kirkpatrick's productions far and away bptter than any other New Zealand brand we can obtain, but they are superior to Englis-h jama in hemg fresher. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Nelson jam was that contained in tins bearing the name of a Tasmanian firm, but even iv this comparison the Nelson article came out a long way best. We are pleased to be able to give unstinted praise to a genuine local industry, tre produzt of which we can unreservedly recommend to consumers. All of the many persona who have tfsted the samples are loud in their praise, and we must unreservedly conera'ulate Messrs. Kukpatrick and Co, upon turning out a genuine fruit jam fit to grace the tables and please the palates of the moat luxurious and fas'idious. — IFaivhc's Bay Herald, July 18. Samples cf Kirkpatrick and Co.'d " X " brand of jam have been forwarded to us, and we 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 much appreciation from the heads of households. The maker asserts that noae but the purest fruits grown in Nels' r. are used in his manufactures, and we are content to accept that assurance. Certainly t'ne jams poppers a richness and fre^bnea* of flavour that bpars that a^enwi nut — Dunedin Star, July 3. S. KIRKPATRICK AND CO., MANUFACTURERS, NELSON.
