One result of the new tobacco prices is an increased demand for halfpennies both by tobacconists and their customers. One Auckland retailer, while serving a customer, said it was often difficult to supply buyers of small tobacco orders with the change they needed. Sometimes, he said, when the till was empty of half-pennies at the end of a day’s business, buyers of cigarette tobacco had to add to the size of their order, or else look for a shop where there were still some of the small coins. tCaitangata Coai always gives satisfaction —obtainable from all coal merchants. —Advt A great Buying and Selling Market as close as your phone—through the Classified Columns of the Otago Daily Times, of course!
