If the average man wefe cast away on a desert island and forced to lead a Robinson Crusoe existence, his first thought (after hunting for food and water) would be "What about something to smoke?" The craving for tobacco is universal and to satisfy it hundreds of brands are on the market. They come from many lands, one of the latest countries to produce them is New Zealand. That is in a perfected form. Strange to say the barren gum lands of the North which won't grow ordinary crops yield splendid tobacco, a matter of paramount importance to men on the land up there, because the average yield of leaf is worth £SO per acre, and tho industry promises to become a source of national wealth. Unlike the imported brands, the genuine New Zealand is toasted. Hence its freedom from the poisonous nicotine. It can be smoked without any risk. Exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Company, Ltd. (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry), there are sevGTal brands. Ask for "Riverhead Gold" (mild), "Navy Cut" or "Cavendish" (medium), "Cut Plug No. 10" (full).*
