| Little cigars for ladies: From Lonj don it is reported that tiny havanas, ! about the size of a cigarette, are being I introduced in the hope that they may j tempt lady smokers. Well, well ! ! and there was a time when ladies ! simply abominated smoking in every i shape or form! That, however, is ! another story, as Kipling would say. | Hut cigars, little or large, will never i supplant cigarettes with lady dei votees of the weed —especially in New Zealand, where cigarettes of River- ! head Gold (the finest cigarette toj bacco as yet manufactured) are so j tremendously popular with smokers j of both sexes. “Riverhead,” as everyI one knows, is one of the famous ! toasted brands and there is another ; toasted cigarette tobacco of surpass- : ing merit—Desert Gold; also three i pipe blends. Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulls- ! head); Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. | 3 (Bulldog). Largely free of nico- ( tine, owing to toasting, all rive brands ; ure of the choicest quality and so : comparatively harmless that they | may be indulged :n with perfect ! safety, even to cxce». . But have a • care when buying The tobaccos • named are the only genuine “to as tea.”
