In the early days when a chap wanted baccy he had to go to a general store for it. There were no tobacconists and no ‘‘cut-up.” The pioneors had to be content with black plug or black twist, and if they wanted ‘‘cut-up,” they had to cut it up for themselves. Most storekeepers kept a sharp knife on their counters for tho convenience of smokers, and sometimes it was chained to tho counter to prevent any absentminded beggar from pinching it. Yes! we've progressed quite a lot since days

of yore. General stores are confined to the backbtocks, now, while tobacconists are as plentiful everywhere as threepenny bits iu colloctlun plates on Bunday—and they all sell “toasted”—tho tobacco par excellence. Sw'eet, fragrant, cool and comforting, also (being toast ed) harmless as it can be, it may be said to havo revolutionised the public taste and set a standard its rivals have failed to attain. The genuine toasted brands are: Cut Plug No. 10, (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold.
