T RY KIRKPATRICK' SPECIAL QUALITY FRESH FRUIT "X" JAMS. JAM PRIMO. Some time since we published a small paragraph on the unsatisfactory Dature of much of the jam retailed in the Colony, This reached Messrs. Kirkpatrick and Co., of Nelson, and they went to work ia a very practical fashion to prove that tbe jams manufactured by the firm were of the best quihty. Two cases of assorted jama were sent to this office, with a request that we would thoroughly test the jam along with other biands, and give our opinion We are happy to state, frankly and fully, tbat wp have been very much Rurpnsed, hs pru r to the receipt of Messrs. Kirkpatrick s gift we were unaware that New Zealand could boast, of an industry of which it has so much reason to be proud. The various sorts of jam were tested by a number of personß, who compared the samples with other brands, and the general verdict is tbat not only are Messrs. Kirkpatrick 'a productions far and away better than any other New Zealand brand we can obtain, but they are superior to Knglieh jama in heintr fte'-her. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Ntlson jam was that contained in tins bearing the name of a Tas. manian firm, but even in 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, the produst of which we can unreservedly recommend to consumers. All of the many persons who have tt stpd the samples are loud in their praise, and we must unreservedly congratulate Messis. Kukpatnck and Co. upon turning out a genuine fruit jam fit to grace tbe table* an i pleaae the palates of the moit luxuiioufl and fas idii/US. — J law lie's Bay Jlerald, July 18. Samples of Kirkpatrick and Co. 'a "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 much appreciation from the heads of households. The maker asserts that none but the purest fruits grown in Nclsrn are used in his manufactures, and we are content to accept that assurance. Certainly the jams possess a richness and fre^hneai of flavour that bear 1 * that amertio'i out. — Dunedin Star, July 3. S. KIRKPxVTRICK AND CO., MANUFACTURERS, NELSON.
