No tobacco! Can you picture what it would mean to millions of people if the world's supply of tobacco were suddenly and for ever cut off and no more could be had for love or money? Airily classed by this government and that as a mere “luxury"—tobacco has yet become almost as necessary as food to most people. Fortunately there is no danger of such a catastrophic state of things eventuating as a world without *its weed. The huge output is constantly increasing; demand creates supply. Happily for Maorilanders some of the choicest leaf is v.own and manufactured right here in New Zealand. Visiting experts and connoisseurs who have sampled the four popular brands, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Riverhead Gold. Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), have pronounced them equal, if not superior, to the finest tobacco produced in other lands with the added advantage (an enormous one) that they are practically without nicotine—eliminated by toasting in the process of manufacture, so that they are powerless to harm even the most Inveterate smoker.
