Opunake Times, 25 October 1935, Page 4

A shabby old fellow was observed walking along the sunny side of Queen Street, Auckland, the other morning and scrutinising both pavement and gutter as he° walked. Every now and then he’d stop and pick up something which he would drop into Ihe little straw kit he was carrying. What was he doing? Collecting cigarette stubs. When questioned he said he couldn’t afford to buy tobacco, so he’d hit upon this way to keep his pipe going, “because, cause, d’ye see,’* he said, 1 bacca I must have! Can‘t do without it. When times mend” (with a laugh),'“l’ll go back to my old brand—Cut Plug No. 10, That s some bacca, that is!” (Here a coin changed hands and the stubcollector went on his way rejoicing). It’s hardlv necessary to add that Cut Plug Wo 10 (Bullshead), is one of the five genuine toasted brands. The others are; Navy Cut No 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, River head Gold and Desert Gold. Full of flavour and fragrance they have the remarkable property of being quite harmless. That’s the toasting! But avoid worthless imitations.
