You carved your plug at Hie counter, p. knife being provided for the purpose. New Zealand smokers are better off to-day, and Mr. Ivill witness cd tho rise to fame of the four toasted brands. Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), j Cavendish. Riverhead Gold, and Cut i Plug No. 10 (B-llshead) now so popuI lar with devotees of the weed everyI where.
