A “smoker’s clock” is just now on exhibition in Berlin. The base is formed a large cigar-box; the hands are two cigars, a. big one for the minute hand, a small one for the hour hand. The minutes are indicated by the tips of cigars, glued all round the edge of the dial, and the pendulum is a big griar pipe. Across the dial appear the names of sundry brands of tobacco, the sale of which it is desired to “push.” This (dock keeps excellent time and the enterprising tobacconist finds it quite a good advertising medium. But no such novel device as a smoker’s clock is need to push the, sale of our beautiful New Zealand toasted tobaccos. They sell themselves! And all five brands of the genuine toasted: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are so popular that smokers innumerable prefer them to anything imported! Not onlv are they full of fragrance but quite harmless—the toasting sees to that!
