In tlio daya of aulcl lang eyrie a New Zealand-grown tobacco made its appearance ou the market, but failed to get a hold ol' the smoking a public. The leaf was alright, but there was something deficient in the curing, and tho industry languished and fizzled out, A much more recent attempt to solve the problem resulted in the production of the Gold Pouch brand, now firmly established in the favour of smokors. It is grown in Hawke's Bay district, and, manufactured under modern conditions, owes its popularity to its extraordinary mildness and distinctive aroma, which is entirely different from that of any other tobacco known. In pleasing contrast with tlio ordinary tobacco from oversea you can smoko Gold I'oucli all the time, and it won't harm you because it contains so little nicotino, and it is this nicotine that is so injurious to health. Gold Pouch is practically the only tobacco that is absolutely i'rro from bite, and this aiono makes it superior to the imported article. All those who have ,not smoked New Zealand tobacco should try it lioir, they mill bis agreeably surprised.
