Two years of patient work by Police and Customs officials in England culminated in the arrest of the last member of a gang of smugglers. The plan of the gang was to buy tobacco out of bond in London, ship it to Antwerp, and reship it out of bond to Hamburg. Actually, the tobacco never went to Germany but was brought back to England and landed on a quiet part of the coast and conveyed in lorries to London. The heavy taxation imposed upon tobacco since the war has, of course, encouraged the sometimes highly profitable business of smuggling, while the effect on the public has been to make it necessary to smoke less ex pensive brands than formerly. Fortunately, in New Zealand, Red Shield (Dark) and Blue Shield (Afedium) have solved the problem of many smokers by giving more enjoyment—at a lower price. These splendid New Zealand Tobaccos are toasted to a turn —which develops to the full their 'delightful qualities and makes them so delightI fully cool and satisfying. Sold in 2oz tins 1/7, and in useful one-pound canister? at 11/8. —64
