An applicant for a position with an Auckland motor firm soon satisfied the boss that he kfiew his job. “You’ll do, I think,” said the bqss, “but there’s' just one other qualification you must have if you come to us: do you smoke?” The applicant hesitated. He thought the boss might be trying to trap him. “Y-yes,” he said at last, and hoped he hadn’t put his foot into it. “Good!” said the boss heartily. “You’re engaged! All our salesman have to smoke; smokers get on better with customers. Many a deal is made over a smoke. What tobacco d’you use?” “I’ve been smoking toasted Cavendish for about ten years,” said the new salesman, “because I can’t get anything I like better.” “There’s nothing better than toasted,” replied the boss. “I smoke Cut Plug No. 10 myself. My doctor recommended it to me. He never smokes anything else.” And that’s how it goes! One smoker tells another, and so the fame of Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, also toasted tailormades, is always spreading!
