In the early days when a chap wanted baccy he had to go to a general store for it. There were no tobacconists and no “cut-up.” The pioneers had to be content with black plug or black twist, and if they wanted “cut up’ ’they had to cut it for themselves. Most storekeepers kept a sharp knife on their counters for the convenience of smokers, and sometimes it was chained, to the counter to prevent any absentminded beggar from pinching it. Yes, we’ve progressed quite a lot since days of yore. General stores are confined to the backblocks, now, while tobacconists are as plentiful everywhere as threepenny-bits in collection plates on Sunday—and they all sell “toasted”—the tobacco par excellence. Sweet, fragrant, cool and comforting, also (being toasted) harmless as it can be, it may be said to have revolutionised the public taste and set a standard its rivals have failed' to attain. The genuine toasted brands are: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition.—s 33
