The Grocer and his
Tea Customers.
/I GROCERS AND GOVERNMENT
CONTROL TEA
T IS saId that Grocers are holding
back the 25 4d "Control" Tea
They are obhged to selllt But
they do not hke to
Tbls IS short SIghted
A Grocer
who won t sell Control Tea except
when he IS forced, Will soon find
that the Co operabve SocIeties and
Company Shops Will So will hiS
local flval. Then he will lose h,s
Tea trade and other trade too

I

\

The WIse Grocer will stock all the
Control Tea that he can get- up
to the hmlt Imposed by Government
-supply It when asked for and
show cas tamers how to make the
best use of It
One way to make the best of It
IS to mIX It With a better Tea
We
adVIse people who cannot afford to
pay 9d a :4 Ib to take a ~ lb of
Control Tea for 7d and ~ lb of
Salmons Tea for 9d and mix them
making two :4 lbs of good dnnk
109 Tea at 8d each quarter lb
Grocers should follow our lead
People who count the cups" wIll
fmd It economIcal, and they Will
aet good Tea
And It IS self
;re,ervatIOD for the Grocer and hIS
Tea trade
