One of Auckland’s oldest identities has been telling an interviewer about the early days. There were no attractive shops in the “Queen City” in the* long ago—just ’ a few ■ general stores, “and sometimes,” said the veteran, with a smile, “when ships from overseas were delayed, as often happened then, we had to do without things it was hard to do without. I remember once all the storekeepers ran out of tobacco, and we had nothing to smoke for a week or two. It was poor stuff, that tobacco, anyhow. You’re better off than we were, for 'toasted’ is sold everywhere now—as fine stuff as money can buy.” Such reminiscences are always interesting. Yes, and the difference ’twixt Auckland ancient and modern is hardly greater than that betweep, ordinary tobacco and the genuine “toasted.” “As fine stuff as money can buy,” certainly aptly describes Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold —so fragrant and delicious, so soothing and solacing, and — being toasted —so comparatively harmless!
