One thing that struck me especially," he said, "was that all the tobacconists were selling the New Zealand grown and manufactured tobacco which on sampling I found of most excellent quality and as good in fact as any I have ever smoked. The manufacturers’ extensive works are at Port Ahurirl, Napier. Here they are produotng five brands of tobacco that arc In general request, viz., Navy Gut No. 3 (Bulldog Biverhead Gold and Desert Gold and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold being for cigarettes. A distinguishing feature of ttiese blends is that they are toasted, which process eliminates the nicotine in them and renders them virtually harmless.

Good things generally are."
