Observing the Sabbath Sunday has been prominently a day for the starting of wars. Germany invaded Prance and Belgium on Sunday, August 2, 1914. Britain and France declared war on Germany on Sunday, September 3, 1939. On Sunday October 27, 1940, Italy invaded Greece. On Sunday June 22, 1941, Germany invaded Russia. Also it was on Sunday December 12, 1937, that the Japanese sank the American gunboat, Panay, and the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour on Sunday, December 7, 1941.

“What a shocking waste of money!” Thus counsel (a notorious to-bacco-hater) during the hearing of a case at Brisbane not long since, when he elicited front defendant that the latter consumed half a pound of tobacco every week. “That’s a matter of opinion,” sharply replied defendant. “I reckon I get better value for my money than if, for instance, I squandered it on horse-racing or cards.” Counsel (a notorious gambler) subsided. Perhaps he was wise. Possibly he is like the man who “compounds for sins he is inclinded to by damning those he has no mind to.” Money expended on good tobacco is never wasted.

No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), are as sweet, fragrant and delightful as they are soothing and comforting. They apppeal irresistibly to all smokers. . .R.P. 193.

The fact that a storekeeper or manufacturer will join his name with it in public proves that he thinks it is good, honest value. Time was when the slogan “Let the Buyer beware” governed buying and selling. But advertising has reversed that. Today it reads, “Let the Seller beware.” For if his goods don’t measure up, he loses out to advertised products that do !
