An Empire City weed purveyor tells how last Christmas one of his .“regulars,” tired of smoking “the same old brand,” asked for “something different.” Recommended to try toasted Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), he laughed contemjptuoulsy. “Bah!” he said, “let’s have an ounce .of your best imported. medium, just to try out.” “Well,” says the tobacconist, ‘‘l thought I’d just try HIM out. So I weighed up an ohnce of medium, and away he went. Next day he blew in again with: “What’s that baccy I had yesterday? Best I ever smoked, bar none. I know it’s imported,, of course. But what is it?” Well, I had to laugh! j “That was toasted Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog),” says 1.. “Ho! ho! ho!” he roars, “you put one over on me, alright!” (hete a real sport), “let’s have a pound of it!” “And now,” (with a grin), “he smokes nothing else!” Five , brands only of the ■ real “toasted” —Navy Cut No. 3‘ (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Rivehead Gold and Desert Gold. All delicious, and all harmless! R.P.44
