N O T I O E. THE ART, OR glft'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 what must the public think of the many m New Zealand that have only found it out since the success of NELSON MOATE BLENDS. 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 name, we do not wonder at the publi* refusing to buy these,mixtures. NO BETTER PROOF OF THE POPULARITY OF, : NELSON MOATE D_ f! OS mE A S ILSON JIL OA T B & \J OS 1E A S 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 TWELVB MONTHS.

Sinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements m their manufacture "--improvements not of the nature of veget able compounds which may be added to any food of a trifling cost, but of the nature to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre lierits which no other Biscuit or Dog Food I possesses, and for which we have received numerous medals and high recommendations, amongst -which we may mention that of Pro fessor Di 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 shillings per cwt, carriage paidjj SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.
