It was on the Auckland-Whangarei train. A man looking like a “commercial” was puffing a very foul briar Facing him another passenger was smoking a cigarette and reading a newspaper. Happening to look up ho noticed that blackened briar, and said: “Pardon me. I am a doctor and must tell you that pipe of yours is unfit to smoke. It's saturated with nicotine. If vou’re wise you’ll scrap it. It s a bit strong,” admitted its owner, with a grin, “but I reckon that’s the fault of my tobacco.” “iQuitc likely ” smiled the doctor. “But why smoke such stuff? Why not do as I do and smoke our New Zealand tobacco? You see it’s toasted and all but free from nicotine, therefore quite harmless. And it’s good!” The pipesmoker thanked the doctor, and said he’d act on. his advice. He’ll be wise if he does. Our New Zealand brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bullsdog), Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) —are famous for purity, flavour, and aroma. But look out for imitations! There are several about! —Advt.
