His guests expressed the pious hope that they woijld never see the inside of it except as guests. What a pity it was that they ha.' not then heard of Dill’s Best Tobacco, ..-hich had been put on the market in 1848 and instantly created quite a furore in America and other parts of the world. The news, of course, took a long time in travelling in those distant days, and, in fact, despite its immense popularity, Dill’s Best Tobacco had not arrived in New Zealand until only a few months ago. Judging by the rapidly increasing army of Dill’s Best smokers in this country, a smoking treat has been missed out here ft v close on 80 years.—Advt.
