The old pioneers who came out to New Zealand in the long long ago little dreamt, as they shredded the imported black plug the storekeepers used to sell, that the land of their adoption would one day/ produce fine tobacco of its own, and in some respects actually superior to the best imported. But so it is. The industry is only in its infancy as yet. But it promises to develop into a source of our national wealth—a point of tremendous importance to the struggling settlers on the poverty-stricken gum lands of the North, which, poor as they are, will yet grow splendid tobacco. If but a frac-. tion of this barren land, so rich in tobacco-prodncing possibilities, were devoted to the cutlture of the “weed” it would mean the salvation of many a settler and the ultimate enrichment of the Dominion. The local article is much appreciated by those who had to give up smoking foreign tobaccos because of the excess of nicotine, which affected their health. Try “Biverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullhead) full.* Progandra painlessly lifts corns right out. Is 6d.—Advt.
