Many a good story is told about smoking and smokers. The latest comes from Auckland. A bricklayer was called sharply to account tw his foreman for smoking on the job. “I’m not smoking,” he replied. “Rut your pipe is in your mouth,” declared the angry foreman. “That's right,” said the bricklayer. “And my boots are on my feet, but I’m not walking.” The foreman passed on. By the way, if you are looking for something special in the shape of ’baccy, try our N.Z. varieties. They are excellent, and their fine flavour and delightful fragrance are largely due to the fact that the leaf is toasted. This is quite a novel idea. Also (unlike the imported! they contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine. That’s why doctors favour them. Thanks to their wonderful purity, they may be smoked all day long without fear of consequences.. They come in several strengths. “River head Gold” is mild; “Navy Cut” is medium: and “Cut Plug No. 10” is a splendid full-flavoured tobacco. The latest addition is “Cavendish Mixture.”
