WAT(MI THE INDIANS GO MV A Sydney cable records a«n increase of 4s 8d per cwt i'ii the wholesale price of butter, to 163 s 4d per cwt. You have tried toasted bread toasted bacon, toasted cheese, and possibly toasted kidmyvs, a’nd know how good they all are. But have you ever smoked toasted tobaccos.’ 'The toasting processf, as you know, develops flavour in the ease of all the above mentioned edibles —and il has precisely the same effect in the case of tobacco. You can easily satisfy yourself as to the truth of this assertion! because our New' Zealand grown tobaccos are all toasted. That is one reason why they appeal so strongly to smokers. Another reason is that they contain (comparatively but little nicotine and may consequently be smoked all day long without producing those unpleasant effects that frequently follow the prolonged smoking of imported tobaccos, all of them (niort* or less) loaded with nicotine. For a cool, sweet, and fragrant smoke try Riverhead Gold, mild; Navy Cut (Bulldog label) medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull’s Head), full strength. There is no mischief i»n any of these brands, and the rapidly increasing demand for them is the most convincing proof of their pojmlarity. When a retailer secures a seas liable line of goods at a very attractive’ figure, he can either take the chance of holding the stock longer than occasion warrants by selling it the usual price and making a huge profit, or do as Paterson’s are doing. Recently they secured a very attractive line of Tweed, Noff Cloth, A elour, and Covert Overcoats at a substantial discount, and being wise, are offering the complete line at half the usual prices. Wise womenfolk will avail themselves of this exceptional opportunity and call early. Paterson’s, Box 86, Revell Street, Hokitika. A reduction of railway charges on be»azine, kerosene, etc., is advertised in this issue and will take effect from to.day. ,
