It was in the smoke-car of the Tauranga train. A clergyman was busied with a book while his friend read a morning paper from which he glanced up to remark, “It says here that parsons are about the heaviest smokers in England amongst the professional classes. D’you believe that?" The cleric smiled. “Why not?" he said : “I confess I enjoy a smoke myself. Why should you laymen have the monopoly of all the good things? Opinions differ about the harmfulness of smoking, but as an old smoker. I can only say it never harmed me. But that, no doubt, is because I invariably smcke the same brand—Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog).

Of course everybody knows by now these blends owe their exquisite purity io being toasted; a most effective method of cleaning up the nicotine in them, so they are not only famous for flavour and bouquet but the least harmful of any tobaccos manufactured.” R.P.39
