Falling OF in Tea Shop Business.

The manager of a very popular company
with many tea shops scattered over the me-
tropolis explains the fall in its profits this
year by the fact that men now go home To
tea instead of visiting the tea shop. [ am
afraid there is very small reason for be-
lieving that the Londoner is becoming so
domesticated as to run home Cor his after
noon cup of tea However willing he might
be- the circumstances are unfortunately
against ii. He lives too far away, and the
time at his disposal for tea Is too limited.
The facts are, indeed. all in the opposite
direction.

nous multiplication of teashops or bum
