N O T I C E. THE ART, OR GIFT~OF TEA TASTING Is only known to about one out of every 20,000; TEA BLENDING To one out of every 50,000 of the European population of the world; so whai must the public think of the many m New Zealand that have only found it out since the success of NELSON MOATE & GO'S BUNDS. The great name, and the constant and increasing demand for NELSON MOATE & GO'S TEAS Has certainly led to a lot of dealers m all sorts of wares packing teas, thinking the public will be satisfied with them.; but, as it is well known that anyone can buy tea and pack it m packets with an elaborate label and big iiame, we do not wonder at the public refusing to buy these mixtures. NO BETTER PROOF OF THE POPULARITY OF NELSON MOATE O T flO'S pAS ELSOnJILOATE. Kl/O'SIEAS Is required than the fact that THEY IMPORTED OVER A FOURTH OF THE WHOLE OF THE TEA THAT CAME INTO NEW ZEALAND DURING THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS. NELSON MOATE AND CO.

MANY years since we had the pleasure to introduce to the public the BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now so extensively used m the principal kennels of the world. Sinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements m their manufacture —improvements not of the nature of veget able compounds which may bo added to any food of a trifling cost, but of the nature to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre dients which no other Biscuit or Dog Food possesses, and for which we have received numerous medals and high recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor Dj Zurn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscuits to be of the greatest excellence, and to contain double the quantity of nourish ment that is to be found m the flesh, thus farming the best and most successful food for dogs that is possible to produce. It is important to notice that every biscuit is stamped—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which we guarantee. Twenty shiilings per cwt, carriage paid SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.
