By Jove! £1,200,000 worth of tobacco imported into New Zealand annually! Fancy that! However, every year that passes from, now on is bound to witness smaller and simlter importations of tobacco into this country from, overseas, for the simple reason that the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., (pioneers of the tobacco industry in New Zealand) is now producing- within the Dominion such splendid tobacco that N.Z. must ere long become independent of outside sources of supply. It may be added that in the opinion of experts this same tobacco is the purest in the world, because 1 unlike other brands it is practically free from nicotine and may be indulged in to any extent with perfect safety. Its comparative innocuousness is partly due to the soil in which it is grown and partly to the fact that the leaf is toasted in the process of manufacture. There are various brands, ranging fi'oir< Riverhead Gold (a mild aromatic), to Cut Plug No. 10, a rich, full-bodied sort. Betwixt and between come Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3, both medium strength, and all toasted. 27
