Yesterday a chap bursts in with: “Give us a pound of toasted Cavendish. Hurry up! Got a train to catch.” “Well, d’ye see I’d had a run on toasted Cavendish, and hadn’t a shred left (expecting another consignment today). But 1 didn’t, want to lose his custom so 1 says “sorry I’m clean out of toasted Cavcnish. but I’ve something similar which perhaps you’d like belter.” “There’s nothing similar io toasted Cavendish, and nothing I’d like better," he snaps—and bolts out. Whatcher think of that?” “Very annoying, of course,” replied the pressman, “but I think the bloke was dead right. I smoke toasted Cavendish myself, ami there is nothing like it. There are other toasted brands, aren’t there?” “Four,” replied the tobacconist, “Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gohl and Desert Gold—all practically free from nicotine (because they’re toasted, d’ye see), all perfectly harmless, and all best sellers!”—Advt.
