This reached Measrs Klrkpatrlck and Co., of Nelaon and they went to work lv a very practical fashion to prove that the jams manufactured by the firm were of the best quality. T.wl> cases of aasorted jams wore sent to thia office, with a re- quoat that wo would thoroughly test the jam along with other brands, and give our opinion. We are happy to atate, frankly and fully tha'. we have beep vury much surprised, aa prior to the receipt of Meßara Klrkputrlok's gift we were unaware that .Now Zealand could boast of an in- dustry of whloh It hag so much reason to be proud. The various aorta of jam were tested by a number of persons, who compared the samples with other brands, and the general verdict Is that not only are Messrs Ktrkpatrlck's productions far aud away better than any other Hew Zealand brand we can obtain, bat they are nnpenor to JjingUah jams m being fresher. The nearest approaoh to the excelleooa of the JNelaon jam was that contained In tlna bearing the name of a Tasmanlan firm, but even m this com- parison the Nelson article came out alone way best. We are pleased to be able to give unstlntod praise to a genuine looal industry, the product of vrhioh we can unroaorvedly reoommend to consumers . All of the many persons who have tested the earn plea are loud In their praise, and we mnßt unreservedly congratulate Messrs Ktrkpatrlok and 00. upon tnrning oat a genuine fruit jam fit to grace the tables and plense the pßlatt'B of the most hixurtong and fußtldioua. — " Hawke's Jttay Herald, "July 18th. Samples of Kirkpatrlck and Co'a " X brand of jam have been forwarded to ns and we are free to confess that they appear to bo In every way exoelient nnd an they become better known m the local market will meet with much appreciation from the heads of households. The maker asserts that none but the purest frui's grown In Nelßon are used m bla manu- factures, and we are oontent to accept that assurance. Certainly the jnmr poßsesß a richness auu trustiness ot flavor thit bears that aHßnniun out.— DqnetJU
