Hyram K. Bangs, of Bang’s Five Cent Novelty Store on Congress Avenue, Chicago, has been telling a reporter since his return to the Land ot the Free (°) that before he visited Neu Zealand in the fall of last year to take the baths at “Rotorua,” he knew so little about- Maoriland that he asked a traveled friend whether any worthwhile tobacco was obtainable here. The friend snickered: “I’ll say there is” he replied, “and I want to tell you right here that its some weed. They toast it, so that it tastes as good as it smells, and its so tree from nicotine —-being toasted —that it caint hurt you worth a dime if you smoke it all day and all night too.” Mr Bangs found it was a true bill, and says he estimates that New Zealand “produces” the only “juiceless” tobacco on this planet. “Yes Sir.” He might have added that there are only four brands of the genuine toasted —Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 I (Bullshead). —Advt.
