Why, chiefly from America, of course. Hut other countries contribute, and it’s astonishing what :i lot of toasted jftevr Zealand tobacco goes up in smoke! The true toasted of course, 1 mean. The manufacturers turn it out by the ton, and the bigger the output Die greater the demand seemingly. Why so popular? Well, to begin with the quality’s Q.K. There’s nothing like it!

You can’t overdo it with the genuine toasted—-Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Biverhead Gold and Desert Gold. How is the toasting done? Sorry, hut I can’t toll you. That’s the manufacturer's secret. But. I’ve seen the process at. the factory. Wonderfully ingenious!” The scribe, well satisfied with his "story," shut up his note-book and vanished.”*
