A conversation between an old Wellington identity and a young new' chum on the Auckland-Whangarei train the other morning was listened to with interest by sundry other passengers. The new chum said how surprised he had been to find so many things in everyday demand were being produced within the Dominion "Yes,” said the older traveller, "and 1 can remember when almost everything had to be imported. Nowadays we manufacture not only all the necessaries of l\fe but some of its luxuries as well. Why, the tobacco I’m now smoking is New Zealand grown and manufactured. It’s toasted, and as good as any tobacco you can buy in London itself. Not only is the flavour delicious and the bouquet exceptional, but in toasting it the manufacturers have discovered how to rid it of its nicotine. That’s why it’s sale for even the heaviest smoker.” Reference was made to the live popular brands of New Zealand toasted tobacco Navy Cut No 3 (Bulldog), Pocket Edition, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) These tobaccos are now in almost everybody’s pipe." “Bcrlei” uplift Brassieres in Lace and Satin from 4/11; Built-up shoulder styles from 8/11.
