D’OISY AT CALCUTTA

s DELHI, May 5. D’Oisy has arrived at Calcutta.— A. and N.Z.O.A.

“New Zealand has come into possession of something more 1 valuable than tho biggest Gold mine,” remarked the captain of an American liner the other day when sampling some of our local tobacco. “And I predict,” he went on to say, “that in the years to come tobacco growing hero will bo just as flourishing as in Virginia, my native Country.” It is gratifying to see that some enterprising people in this Dominion are realising the huge possibilities of the tobacco industry, but even the most sanguine were stirprised when the local article made its first appearance. Such was the success that the manufacturers could hardly dope with the demand. And no wonder, because this tobacco represents quite a new type with a distinctive flavour of its own, duo it is said to the toasting process which has been adopted in its manufacture. But its greatest virtue is its small percentage of nicotine and this is why it does not affect the heart and nerves, or eyesight. Smokers should not fail to give it a trial. Obtainable in 3 strengths. Riverhead Gold, mild. Toasted • Navy Cut, (Bulldog) medium, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull-, head) full body.—l 3
