T^VERY true colonist mast have felt a glow 1-* of pride when reading m the Governor's Speeoh that the earning power of the people had been increased, but the Speeoh omitted to give the reason why there had been a saving last year of over £20,000 m the ooat of tea consumed m New Zealand. The reasons are obvious to every housewife who considers ber tea expenditure — 1st — It ia because Suratura Tea has oome into euoh general use m consequence I . of its strength, flavour, economy, and purity. 2nd— That it goes co muoh further than ordinary brands. These characteristics Bre so generally acknowledged that it is remarkable that m the Governor's Speeoh there was no indioa- ' tion ol a Bill to authorise the purobase by the State of the whole growth of Suratura Tea, with the ofieot of supplying the inhabi- tants of New Zealand, and thereby decreasing the burden upon the necessaries of Hie. The characteristics of SURATURA TEA are Ptjbitt, Fbagbanoe, Stbength, Economy, and it is NOT blended with Indian or China Teas. 6 93 r OR COUGHS, COLDS, BRONCHITIS.
