The tobacco industry is one o£ the most important in the world, and its importance is constantly increasing. It is computed that there are 500 different kinds of tobacco grown within the British Empire alone! Of course, the quality varies immensely, but ;t may be said without fear of contradiction that of all these tobaccos there are none that surpass in purity and fragrance those grown and manufactured in New Zealand by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers of the tobacco industry in the Dominion?. Their outstanding merit is largely due to the fact that they are toasted. This process rids them of the poisonous nicotine and renders them perfectly innocuous, a point the doctors (heavy smokers as a rule) have not been slow to recognise. In , c ’ many of them smoke National biaads exclusively. Popular lines: S^p. r ‘' Desert Gold, Pocket Edition (mild), and Navy Cut No 3 (medium), and Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength). These tobaccos are on sale by tobacconists everywhere, and also at W grocers and general stores.’ ; —zoo.
