He is one of those insufferable new chums who sneer at everything “ Colonial,” so when he entered an Auckland tobacconist’s to replenish his pouch and was recommended to try Now Zealand toasted tobacco he drawled-: "When I buy tobaoco my good fellow I want tobacco, not a colonial imitation." There’s lots of imitations about, certainly,” replied the tobacconist, "why I’ve known Imitation gentlemen to come in here.” “ cancel my order. I shan’t patronise vou now,” said the new chum angrily* “ Have a heart!" pleaded the tobaoconist, "don’t drive me into the bankruptcy court i” When he bad gone the boss remarked to his grinning assistant: " That’s the type of new arrival NfZ. could do without. When his'highness finds nine out of ton smoke Now Zealand'toasted he’ll follow suit." Th l e tobacconist was right. One or other or the four toasted brands, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Cavendish, Biverbead Gold, and Cut Plug No. .10 (Bullshead), are in almost everybody’s pipe. No finer Sobacco is manufactured, and owing to li, being toasted it is practically without nicotine and therefore perfectly harmless.
