COME HOME ALIVE.
It will come as rather a shock to some readers to learn that as a result of the increasing number of fatalities no less a responsible person than the British Minister for Transport has actually appealed to women at home to say to their husbands and sons before they leave for the workshop or office: “Be careful to come home alive.” “1 want to infuse into everybody the spirit of consideration and caution,” he added. How fortunate we are in New Zealand in comparison—it would be difficult to imagine our women having to make sucli an appeal to their menfolk. There are many other advantages we enjoy —two of which are being more widely appreciated than ever—Blue Shield (Medium) and Red Shield (Dark) New Zealand Tobaccos at their best. They are toasted to a turn, which makes all the difference. They are so cool and pleasant to smoke —and so completely satisfying. Be careful not to go home without a tin of Blue Shield (Medium) or Red Shield (Dark) —only 1/7 per 2oz. tin, and even more economical to buy in onepound canisters at 11/8.
