NOTICE. 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 what must the public think of the many m New Zealand that hare k only found it out since the success of NELSON MOATE & COS BLENDS. The great name, and the constant and increasing dema-nd 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 public refusing to buy these mixtures. NO BETTER PROOF OF THE POPULARITY OF NELSON' TirOATE O T fl OS JT\ EA S ELS ON ill O ATE Si tOS IEAS 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. HAVING THE LARGEST STOCK OF China, Indian, and Ceylon Teas, The public can depend upon getting the best value and selection. NELSON MOATE AND CO.

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 dients winch 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 beat 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 paid SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.
