’ ll makes me tired when people who ought to know belter class tobacco as | a mere luxury—something that can • oa.-ily be done without.” remarked a i Wellington tobacconist to a customer the other day. "As a member of the trade foi forty years 1 know that the j weed is almost as necessary to very tnanv smokers as the food they eat, and j that enforced abstinence from its soothj ing. calming influence is to them a very | real hardship, especially when times | are oad. Particularly j? this the case ! in N< w Zealand, where we are prorlucj ine tobacco of the very finest quality jTo what brands do I refer? Why in j all five brands so popular with smokers ; —Riverheao Gold Desert Gold, Navy Cut No 3 (Bulldog). Pocket Edition, land Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) I | need hardly tell you that their purity I is '■irqelv owing to the fact that they j are toasted and are thus rendered as : bar nless to smokers a-- they are fra- ; grs-'M and delicious. Such tobacco may i we.' be considered a ’necessary comj modity.’ It is certainly something more j tha a luxury.”” j Alfred Gould advertises details of an j auction sale of household furniture and j effects for Thursday next on account of j Mrs J. Liddell Harris. 24 Ngatitama .street."
