I Busireasr. No.Uees, A NSWEttS TO OORBE3PONDENTB •A WOMAN."—lnsist upon having what you order. If it occurs again, change your grocer. It is unfair to send yon another brand with the remark, •' It k as good a« Suratura Tea." " DISAPPOINTED."—Suratum Tea wa* not exhibited because it ia not a product of New Zealand, and blending and packing m this colony do not make any tea a colonial product Suratura Tea is not blended with China; it ia packed where grown. ! "AN ELECTOR "-Very good suggestion. The Conference of Premiers at Hobart should be supplied with Suratura Tea, " ECONOMY. "-Yes; the names of grocer* who sell Suratura 'lea will be published. "FAIR PLAY."-If Saraturalabel isimi tated, legal proceedings will be taken. "X.Y.Z,"—Recommend a petition to the Government against selling adulterated food. "PUFF."—An impression prevails that an article largely advertised may not be first-class. This is correct m many cases, but when i(* sale is increased, by tent of thousands of pound* weight m • year, it ia the strongest public confirma tion of everything that has been said m the advertisements. That ia the posi tion of Suratnra Tea. "TEA DRINKER."—AII good housewives pride themselves on being able to give their families and friends a good cup of tea. All can do this if they use Sura tura. II DYSPEPTIC."-Your complaint is a very common one. Indigestion is frequently caused by the use of liquids that will not assimilate with the food you eat. The result is an internal conflict which the medical faculty call Dyspepsia. In most cases the cure is so simple that it does not commend itself to the sufferer. Tea brewed from the pure leaf of Sura tura will banish your complaint. "ENQUlßEß."—Suratura Tea contains no foreign matter. Its purity is undoubted, its strength unequalled, it ia always fresh. No large stocks are kept, there fore its economy is established by reason of its freedom from handling with con sequent loss of strength and flivour. J. ORR & CO., Agents.
