"FACTS ARE CHIEL^ THAT WINNA Knft.-3K B £ Mnnu BE ws j nniMES change, and with them manner! JL and tastes. The unimpeachable cvi« dence of statistics of trade tells us that the people readily appreciate a good and pure article in preference to a dear and inferior one. This has never been so clearly demon strated as in the records of the Customhouse. In 1885 Ceylon Toa made its first appear | ance in New Zealand. That year the total [quantity imported from all sources wai , 4,442,8671b, of which China supplied 2,487,6611b, or 60$ per cent. India supplied 150,6441b, or 3£ per cent. Crvxon supplied 4031t», or 001 per cent. That INSIGNIFIOAKT liITTLB SHIFMBNt to this colony was so appreciated that) peop'e asked for more and got it, 5 years later (1890) the imports stood thus :— China supplied 976,2401b, or 25* per cent. ladia supplied 657,9021b, or 17 per cenb. Ce^on euppiied 3&2 9 X3T1l> 9 or 9| per cent. The total imports for that year from all aouroes were 5,849,105!b. It was this year that Suratura Tea was introduced, and became a boon and a blessing to humanity. How it has established itself in the homes of the people may be seen by the manner in which it has distanced all rivals, and materially assisted to drive China teas out of consumption. In 1896— China supplied 68,9411b, or 1} per oent. India supplied 902,6461b, or 20& per cent. Ceylon supplied «,310 9 4151t>, or 55| per cent. No other article of domestic consumption can show anything approaching this. Suratura Tea is picked and packed ia Ceylon, thereby preserving its freshness and aroma until it reaches the consumer—which accounts for its economy and purity. Suratura Tea is NOT blende i with India or China Teas. JOHN ORR & CO., agents.
