The raw leaf which Great Britain and Australia use for the manufacture of their smoking tobaccos is almost entirely of American origin, and huge sums of money .go annually to the U.S.A. Why not keep the money within the Empire and within our own country? Now that New Zealand has got its own tobacco industry we need no longer import foreign brands. Gold Pouch, the New Zealand grown tobacco, excels all others in mildness and flavour; it contains also far less nicotine, and is thus less harmuful than the heavy foreign tobacco. Why not support local industries that give profitable employment to our own men, women and children, and benefit all classes of the population alike , ? But Gold Pouch is not only better and purer than the foreign article, it is more economical too —2% ozs. as against 1% ozs. for 1/. Cigarette 6inokcrs should use the New Zealand grown Three Diamonds tobacco which leaves no sharp and bitter aftertaste like the imported yellow tobaccos.
