Tea Census.

T

HE Tea scarcity has reaDy
come
The Food Controller
does not mean It to become a
Tea famme
That IS why he ordered every
holder of 500 lb of Tea or more
to report-September 3-)uat how
much he does hold
Grocers have sometimes thought
that Co-operahve Stores and Company Shops had unfall" advantages,
and that large wholesalers were
better off for Tea than they pretended to be If that were so, the
Tea Census would show It
But It was most hkely not true.
The Co operatives and the Shop
Compames were not unfa.rly fav
oured but they had bought large
stock. before the shortage began.
WhoIe.nIers cannot be hoardmg
Tea
Large buyers m Mmcmg
Lane only get half the.r require
ments- half of what they could
At the Mmcmg Lane Auc
sell
hans controlled by the Government, Tea IS constantly left over,
because holders of the Food Controller's hcence to buy Tea (and no
one may now buy .t WIt hout) bad
bought all that the.r hcences per.
m.tted-half their usual supply
1 hey would lIke to buy more to
supply their customers t he Grocers

That ••
our pohcy- glve and take Agents
should help by persuadlnff theU"
