“How’s trade?” a customer asked a Hamilton tobacconist the other day. “Oh, not. too bad” was the

cheerful reply. “If theie’s less demand for cigars, pipe and. cigarette tobacco is selling well. Packet cigarettes are hanging fire a bit though. Smokers say it. saves money to roll their own, and lots of them pride themselves on their dexterity in that line.- The tric-k is soon learned and once it is learned those tvho acquire it have no use for the ready made article. As for pipe tobacco it’s always wanted, of course, anti always will be. Oh yes, the imported brands continue to sell alright, most of them

anyhow. But I find the New Zealand toasted tobacco is favoured by a great many smokers. Its comparative freedom from nicotine is a great point in its gnvour. The toasting improves both flavour and bouquet liesides making it absolutely harmless. Yes—four brands: Rivet-head Gold. Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut. Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). No matter what happens people must and .will smoke.”
