DO YOU KNOW? Q. —Where is New Zealand largest and most modern tobacco factory situated Y A.—At Petone, Wellington. Q. —What famous tobaccos are manufactured there? A.—Blue Shield (Medium) and Red Shield (Dark). Q. —Where does the New Zealand Tobacco used in them come from ? A.—The Nelson Province. After it has been cured it is sent to Wellington. Q. —What do you mean by curing F A.—The leaf when picked is a green vegetable product. Curing means drawing from the plant the surplus moisture—at the same time leaving the leaf in perfect condition Until required for manufacture. Q- —How is it cured ? A.—The leaf for the Dominion Tobacco Company is flue cured—in large kilns in which the heat is regulated for the required period in the ideal manner. Q- —Is it a more satisfactory method than air curing? A.—Certainly because you cannot rely on the sun and air-to produce from day to day the necessary degree of heat and dryness. Q.—Then curing is a very important stage? A.—Yes because mistakes made then can never be rectified. All the leaf for'Blue Shield and Red Shield has been flue cured.
