A “smoker’s clock” s just now on exhibition in Beilin. The base is formed of a large cigar-box; the hands are two cigars, a big one for the minute hand ,a small one for the hour hand. The minutes are indicated by tne tips of cigars ; glued all round the edge of th’e dial, and the pendulum is a big briar pipe. Across the dial appear the names of sundry brands of tobacco, the sale of which it is desired 'to “push.” This clock keeps excellent time and the enterprising tobacconist finds it quite a good advertising medium. But no such novel device as a smoker’s clock is needed to push the sale of our beautiful New Zealand toasted tobaccos. They sell themselvesAnd all five brands of the genuine toasted: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, are so popular that smokers innumerable prefer them to anything imported! Not only are they full of fragrance but quite harmless —the toast’ng sees to that! 485
