BXIIIDITION AT SUNNING-DALE

Tea Customers.
I

I

T IS time for Gmcers to realise
that there IS a war on ThiS
IS not the day for competition
and the old beggar my neighbour
Supplies are short Cus.
want Food stuffs -butter,
cheese eggs, marganne bacon,
sugar- more than Grocers want to
sell Let one Grocer help another.
for the common good of all There
IS busmess enough for everyone
The Army needs Tea, and must
have It- whoever goes short Go.
vernment may ration Tea by hcenct\
What can Grocers do to make
the most of Tea ?
They can tell their customers th~
truth a bout Tea The truth aboul
Tea IS that cheap Tea IS not eco
nomlcal Government Control Tea
whIch the Grocer IS compelled to
sell at 7 id the quarter IS not eco
nomlcal It IS weak and needt
too many spoons to the pot Th.
cheapest good Tea at the moment
IS Salmon's 8d per quarter. but It
wtll not last much longer. worse
Tea IS sold to wholesale dealers at
2s 7d
Future prices look like
bemg 2s 10d, 35 . and 35 4d
People who want to be eco
nomlcal, and leave the very
cheapest Tea for the poor who
cannot afford to be economIcal,
wtll buy (2s 10d) 8! d per quarter
Tea If Grocers tell them the fact ••
