Christmas Wrappings

If a notice sent to the tobacco trade throughout New Zealand is indicative of what may apply to all Christmas shopping, the wrapping of purchases in the coming festive period may be void of all the usual touches common to the season. It has been pointed out to tobacconists that the order made last March definitely prohibits the use of packing or wrapping material other than or additional to that supplied -by the manufacturers. The repacking of cigarettes into fancy boxes, or the use of special fancy wrappers is not permitted. No exception will be made to the regulations, and permission will not be given to any persons or firms to make use of wrapping materials which they may have on hand from the previous year.
