He puffed appreciatively. “Smokers are better off out here than of old,” he remarked. “I remember when there was no cut. tobacco here. Nothing but Plug and you could take it or leave it. But I say this tobacco of yours is alright! Wonderful country America!” “That's not American tobacco you’re smoking,” said the other, “that’s New Zealand grown and manufactured. Bettor than American. I reckon. Harmless, too. The manufacturers toast it and free it from nicotine.” “Well.” said the elderly stranger, “I’m only just back from England, and certainly never expected to find N.Z. producing such tobacco as this. Why
it’s what thousand of smokers say! — so it must be true. Bu,t buyers will do well to bear in mind that there are only five brands of the original toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. Other brands there are purporting to be those named. But they are imitations! —Advt.
