What’s the difference ’twixt wiiisky and tobacco It has been defined thus: “Whisky makes you talk. Tobacco makes you think.’’ It’s a fact that great painters, sculptors, musicians, writers, chess-players and orators are generally great smokers. Anti-tobaceo-ites will tell you that smokers are the slaves of a vicious habit and run all sorts of .terrible risks. As a matter of fact if tobacco is used, and not abused, it won’t hurt anybody, provided it is * of good quality, and of course the less l nicotine it contains the better. Unfortunately most of the American tobaccos fairly reek with the poison. And that’s where they differ from our N.Z. grown brands which are delightfully cool and full of flavour and fragrance. They owe their splendid quality largely to being toasted. The toasting it is that eliminates the nicotine. They are exclusively manufacured by the National Tobacco Company, Ltd., (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry). Ask for “Rivcrhead Gold’’ (mild), “Navy Cut’’ (medium), “Cavendish Mixture” (medium) or “Cut Plug No. 10” (full-strength). —G3
