EVERY true colonist must have felt a glow of pride whauTeadicg m tho Governor's Speeoh that the earnicg power of the people hacl been increased, but the Speeoh omited to give the 1 reason wby ibere had been a saving last year of over £20,000 m the oost rf tea oomumed m New Zealand. The reasons are obvious to every housewife who ooneiders ber tea expenditure — 1st — It id beoause Suratura Tea has oome into euoh general use m oonsequenoe of its strength, fhvour, economy, and purity. 2nd — That it goes so much further than ordinary brands. These oharaoteristio3 ere co generally acknowledged that it is remarkable (bat m tbe Governor's Speeoh there was no indica- tion of a Bill to authorise the purohase by tbe State < f the who'e growth of Suratura Tea, with the object of supplying the inhabi- tants of Now Zealand, and thereby decreasing tho burden upon tbo necessaries of life. j Tha characteristics of SURATU3A.
