The ladies again! The marked preference shown by women for the “smoker” on tram-cars was strikingly illustrated the other Friday evening (late shopping night), in Auckland. At the safety zone, near the Queen Street terminus, were assembled eleven women and several men, and when an empty tram bound for one of the suburbs, pulled up the men stood aside to allow the ladies to step aboard first. And everyone of the eleven women made straight for the smoking compartment! ’Twas not always thus! But ladies rarely object to tobacco smoke now!—they love it! And “toasted” is largely responsible for the change, because, its fragrance is so delightful that it appeals to both sexes alike. And what wonderful tobacco it is! No brand like it to solace and comfort the smoker! The five varieties: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold are so effectually purified by the special toasting process to which they are subjected at the factory that there's scarcely any nicotine in any of them. Hence their harmlessness!
