SIR THOMAS Upton
DOES 1T THIS WAY

Last year. a big problem was put
up to Sir Thomas Upton, founder
OF the great business having the
largest sale Of tea in the world.
A reduction in tea prices was
necessary. Should he reduce the
quality in keeping with the lowered
price? Sir Thomas Lipton's decision
was immediate and Interchangeable.
He would cut the price blu,
the quality, NEVER!
Gold Label quality was adopted
as standard for Lipton's we'll
known Yellow Label Brand, and in
addition the price was reduced.
That'swhy Lipton's Yellow Label
Brand Of tea is not only the fines,
tea but also the finest value in the
world today.
Ask your grocer for Lipton's
Yellow Label Tea. If no
does NOT sell it, send US his
nane and address and we will
mail you q FREE sample
and give you the name of
grocer who can supply you.
