There is an old story about a youth who washed his face and hands before going to school and none of his boy friends recognised him. There is another about—but as this one comes in the form of a letter we are going to give it to you that way: Timaru. January 22, 1926. Messrs Barlow Bros., Christchurch. Dear Sirs, —A short while ago I smoked for the first time Edgeworth Tobacco and I enjoyed every grain of it. When I lit the old pipe several remarked on the fragrance of the tobacco and actually accused me of giving my pipe a scouring but I had to disillusion them and tell them it was the tobacco not the pipe, and if I continue to woo Lady Nicotine, my best bet (and her best) will be Edgeworth. Thanking you, I remain, very gratefully yours, Thomas A. Brown. AdvL
