JAM PRIMO. ♦ Some time since we published a Bmal paragraph en the unsatisfactory nature much of the jam retailed In the cole if % This reached Messrs Kirkpatrlck 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. Ttt^ cases of assorted jama were sent to thiß offioe, with a re- quest that ne would thoroughly test the jam along with other brand?, and give onr opinion. We are happy to state, frankly nod fully tiiac wa have beep very muoh e ururlsed, as prior tp the receipt "of Messrs Kirkpatrlok's Rift we were unaware that .New Zaalaud oonld boaat of an , in- dustry of whlob it haß bo mnoh reason to be prood. The varlona aorta of jam were tested by a number of persons, who compared the samples with other brands, and the general verdiot, is that not only are Messrs Klrkpatrlok'a productions far aud away better than . any other New Zealand brand wt, can obtain, but they are superior to JttngUsh jamß m being fresher. The nearest approach to the excellence of the Nelson jam was that contained In tins bearing the name of a Tasmanlan firm, but even m this com-. parlßon 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 prodnot of which we can unreservedly recommend to consumers. All of the many persona who have tested the samples are loud In their praise, and we must unreservedly oongrj^nlate Messrs Kirkpatrlck and 00. upon tnrnlng"onTa genuine fruit jam fit to grace the tables and please the palateß of the moat luxuriuns ai.d fastldiouß. — " Hawke'B Bay Herald," July 18th. Samples of Klrkpatrlok and Go's " X brand of jam have been forwarded to us and we are free to . oonfess that they appear to be m every way excellent and an 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 Nelson are used In bis manu- factures, and we are content to accept that assurance. Certainly the jama possess a r.ichnesß and freshness ot flavor that bears that assertion ont.—Dunedi : ■toir^WK " " — "
