"I can't say T admire the New Zealand climate,” writes Mr. Kog. Airey in “Commerce,” ''because it rained almost incessantly during my brief business visit. Cot one thing I did find to admire, and that, was the New Zealand tobacco, and while at Napier, a flourishing North Island conjee, and the headquarters of the toasted New Zealand tobacco industry, I was privileged to go over the extensive works of the Company, (cov - ering nearly four acres!) and see the whole process of manufacture, including the toasting of the matured leal. It is this toasting process that dillerentiatos the New Zealand from all other tobaccos. It purifies if so oliec.tually by eliminating the nicotine llm" you can smoko any amount id il wi impunity. The quality is unsurpassed by that of any tobacco l have ov smoked. There are only live of the genuine toasted brands, Cut Plug No. 10 (Builshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. fi (Bulldog), ltiverliead Cold and Desert Gold. The two latter make really choice cigarettes. Itepeatod attempts have boon made to imitate there tobaccos, but the manufacturers are n,q worrying about that!”*
