"Coflin nails," accor'ding to a London cofrespondent, was the engaging nam© by which cigarettes were known when he was a boy. A lot of water has passed beneath the bridge since those days, and "coffin nails" must have been manufActured frdm very inferior t'pbaeco_ to have deserved their name. But things have changed. There 's as much differenco 'twixt theN old-time cigarettes the correspondent writes of and those made of Riverhead Gold or Desert Gold, as there is between an old-fashioned motor-car and a modern Rolls-Royce. Only the choicest loaf, grown in carefully selected localities, goes to making the two brands named. And it's precisely the same with the thfiee pipe brands, , Cut Plug No. 10' (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), and Cavendish, the popular sporting mixture. Made and blendcd by experts in an up-to-date factory, these tobaccos are t-oasted, which iugenious process not onlj' enhances flavour and arotna but t'rces them frnm cxeess of nicotinn, thus safeguarding the smoker. Nn liner nr purer tobaccos are produced. Thev challenge comgarison with the world 's best.
