A £60,000 FIND. Several New Zealanders have had the thrill of winning a £2OOO prize in an art union, but that is a trifle to the thrill recently experienced by a South African farmer on whose land a £60,000 diamond was found. During the first night the farmer's wife slept with the diamond wrapped in a stocking tied around her neck, while the proud farmer and several friends sat up armed with loaded rifles. Luck of that sort is not likely to befall you or me, but we can take comfort in one delightful "find"— the pleasure of smoking the new and improved New Zealand tobaccos, Blue Shield (Medium) and Red Shield (Dark). One factor which is all-important to ensure perfect smoking qualities is that the leaf must be properly cured. If the sun and air could be relied upon to produce the necessary degree of heat and dryness from day to day, they could be trusted upon to do the work. Experience has proved, however, there is only one sure way, and that is the Flue Barn, in which the heat is scientifically regulated in the ideal way. All the leaf for Blue Shield (Medium) and Red Shield (Dark) is therefore Flue Cured. The reason for their perfect flavour lies in the method of toasting. They offer the patriotic New Zealand Smoker the very choicest examples of New Zealand tobacco. Sold in handy 2oz. tins at 1/7, and in economical lib tins. (53)
