“America has done more for the World than any other Nation,” remarked a speaker at a farewell dinner at Auckland to a well-known American, “She has given us tobacco.” (Loud and prolonged applause). Yes, smokers everywhere owe a debt of 'gratitude to Uncle Sam; they never 'can repay for the priceless gift which has done so much to render existence happier and life better worth living. Nor must the credit due to those who have .devised better methods of tobaocco culture and superior methods of manufacture, be forgotten. Andiu this connection the name of the National Tobacco Company, Ltd., of Napier, stands out prominently for their toasting process (exclusively their own) not only vastly improves flavour and aroma but makes their tobacco safe for even the inveterate smoker. Hence the ever increasing demand for the famous toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy 'Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverbead Gold and Desert Gold. No finer tobaccos than these are produced. They never vary in quality and are the only genuine toasted blends manufactured.
