Time was when the future of N.Z. was supposed to be chiefly bound up in its gold resources. Since then agriculture and sheep and .cattle have opened up new avenues. to wealth.

Gold Pouch tobacco, grown and manufactured in Hawke’s Bay, is uow in general use all over X.Z., and the demand has increased at such stupendous rate that the manufacturers can no longer cope with it.

Gold Pouch and also Tree Diamonds are still obtainable at Is per pouch. - •
