A newspaper man, calling in at his tobacconist’s to replenish his pouch, asked the proprietor whether he thought women were as critical about the quality of their tobacco —in the shape of cigarettes as men were. “No,” said the tobacconist, “women will often buy a box or packet of cigarettes just because it has a “pretty” wrapper. Men don’t bother about that. With them it’s the tobacco that counts. But ready-mades are going out. Most folks roll their own now. Lot cheaper, too! Why you can make ten full-sized, cigarettes of jßiverhead Gold or Desert [ Gold—the two leading cigarette tobac- j cos—for less than fourpence! They j can’t do you a ha’porth of harm, either. They’re toasted. But lots of men prefer a pipe—and you’re one of them. I stock all the best brands of pipe tobacco, but there’s nothing so good as toasted Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), or your favourite, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). I’m always being asked for one or other of them. Same as usual I suppose? Thank you! Good-day!” N 4
