“My. boy’s birthday to-morrow,” confided the little old lady to the tobacconist, “so I thought I’d give him a bit of nice tobacco.” “Couldn’t do better, ma’am,” beamed the tobacconist. “Does he smoke a pipe or cigarette?” “Well, of course he oughtn’t to smoke at all at his age,” replied the little old lady, “but you know what young people are now—will have their own way!” “Yes,” agreed the tobacconist, “youth must be served!” “He smokes a pipe,” went on the little old lady. “Did you ever?” “Then I’ll recommend Navy Cut No. 3 .(Bulldog), one of the famous toasted brands, lovely bouquet, and harmless —it’s toasted, and hardly any nicotine in it! There’s ether toasted brands—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, also tailormades; they’re all good, but you try Navy Cut No. 3. About how much would you like —-half a pound? - “That’ll do nicely,” said the little old lady, and popping the tobacco- into her shopping bag, she tripped gaily away! She chose wisely; a bit of the genuine “toasted” makes a fine birthday present.—67l.
