Is wood carving becoming a lost art among the Maoris? Formerly you could buy many things of genuine Maori workmanship, including pipes, the bowls often taking the form of Maori heads elaborately car\\>d, with tattooings and pawa-shell eyes. Now genuine examples are scarce. The Maoris laugh at the imitations! But if there are fewer bona-fide Maori-made pipes there’s plenty of good N.Z. tobacco 1— than which there is nothing tiner produced in any part of the world, for not only is it manufactured from the choicest New Zealand-grown leaf, but being toasted (consequently almost free of nicotine) its as pure as tobacco can possibly be, and safe for even the heavy smoker. Its immense popularity has reached (as per usual!) in several wretched imitations getting about, but they are easily avoided if you ask for (and see you get !) any of the five original ,and only genuine, toasted brands —Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 Cavendish, Bivorhcad Gold and Desert Gold. These beautiful tobaccos have made a reputation that extends far and wide.--Advt. *,
