“They do themselves well in New Zealand,” writes “Globe Trotter” in the “Travel Magazine.” “I’ve visited the Dominion on more than one occasion, and still remember a little dinner I once enjoyed at the house of an old friend at Wellington. It was not an elaborate spread out, I’ve fared worse! The menu included toheroa soup (a real luxury!) Stewart Island oysters on the half-shell, Thames flounders, a bird, roast lamb with green peas, etc., etc. We washed all down with Dunedin ale (Excellent). My host produced choice cigars, but I preferred to sample his “cut-up,” grown and manufactured within the Dominion, and of truly superlative quality. I have never smoked any tobacco I liked so much. It seems the manufacturers put it through a special process which effectually eliminates most of the nicotine (common to all tobaccos), and renders it perfectly safe to smoke ‘till further orders.’ It is as harmless as it is delicious.” The writer refers to the popular brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and Desert Gold
