Tobacco in the slums! An Auckland social worker who visited a slum dwelling the other day found a husband, wife and three children occupying a miserable back room. The wife looked worn out. The man was smoking his pipe in the back-yard. The caller afforded some relief, and then gently remarked that bad as things seemed the husband could yet smoke, and that tobacco cost money. "It don’t cost ’im much, miss, not the bit 'e smokes,” said the wife, "and ’e’s a fair terror when ’e ’as no bacca. You’d know if you ’ad to live with ’im. ’E’s alright when ’e ’as ’is pipe.” Another tribute to the virtues of the weed! This was not the first time “bacca” has filled the role of peacemaker. But to do good, tobacco must be good. Our own New Zealand brands are the best—the purest and most fragrant money can buy, and practically free from nicotine as no other tobacco is! five brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish. Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and Desert Gold
