An old Auckland identity tells how walking up Queen Street the other afternoon he was accosted by a shabbily dressed elderly man who asked for a “trifle.” “Want a drink, eh?” queried the identity. “No,” was the reply, “I want a smoke. A month since I had one. If you smoke yourself you'll I know how I feel.” Convinced that the j man spoke the truth, the old identity | handed over a shilling. He had been j there himself and knew from personal I experience what “tobacco-hunger’ was I like. Non-smokers who condemn ! smoking as a bail habit don’t know i much. Tobacco has cheered and ! solaced millions worsted in the battle lof hfe, and provided it. is pure and ' good it is really beneficial. Probably | the purest, tobacco, by the way, is our 'own New Zealand “toasted.” Where will you gel a mild aromatic like Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, a 'medium flavoured like Navy Cut No. ! 3 or Cavendish, a full strength like j Cut Plug No, 10? And thanks to their 1 being toasted when 'manufactured i there’s next to no, nicotine in any of 'them! P.P. 30.
