HONEY— 
Preserved for 
3,300 Years! 
I MAGINE honey, still liquid and still preserv¬ 
ing its characteristic scent after 3,300 years! 
From The National Geographic Magazine 
Here is an object lesson from the ancients; for it is out of 
the ashes of yesterday the stepping stones of our civilization 
are founded. 
Today then, very much like the faithful Egyptians who 
handed down the sweets of the field through centuries—• 
AIRTIGHT, Ridgways Tea is passed on to you, still retain¬ 
ing its exquisite, delectable flavor, the same as the day it 
was picked from the sun-kissed fields of India and Ceylon. 
For years, Ridgways Tea has been “Packed only in TIN— 
to keep the flavor in.” 
This is because the lessons of the past—as with the honey 
after 3,300 years—proved that an airtight container will 
preserve the flavor. 
So, TIN enables us, as in no other way, to bring to your 
table a super TEA—a piquant, mellow beverage—worthy 
of the exclamation: “Nature has triumphed in this refresh¬ 
ment.” 
“Packed only in TIN —to keep the flavor in”
