The dear old lady smilingly approached the tobacconist with: “I want some cigarette tobacco for my son.” “Certainly, madam,” said the tobacconist. “What kind would you like?” Oil, 1 forget its name,” replied the old lady, “but it’s the tobacco my son says nearly everybody’s smoking now.” The tobacconist smiled. “Then this will he it.” he said, handing over a tin of Riverhead Gold. “That, madam,” he continued, “is the finest cigarette tobacco money can buy. It’s quite harmless, too, because being toasted by a special process, it’s practically free from nicotine.” The old lady beamed. “I am sure that must be the tobacco by son wants,” she said. “I suppose you sell a lot of it?” "Any amount,” replied the tobacconist, “you see, it’s everybody’s favourite.” Well pleased, the old lady smilingly departed. Riverhead Gold, as all who “roll their own” know, is one of the five famous toasted brands; Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Pocket Edition, Navy Cut No. (Bulldog), and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead). As several worthless imitations are about —be careful when you buy.
