" America has done more for the world than any otlier nation," remarked a speaker at a farewell dinner at Auckland to a well-known American, "she has given us tobacco." (Loud and prolonged applause). Yes, siuokers everywhere owe a debt of gratitude t6 Uncle Sam; they never can repay for the priceless gift which has done so much to render existenee happier and life better worth living. Nor must the credit due to those .who have devised better methods of tobacco culture and superior methods of manuf acture, be f orgotten. And in this connection the nasne of the National Tobacco Company, Ltd., of Napier, stands out prominently for their toasting process (exclusively their own) not only vastly improves flavour and aroma but makes their tobacco safe for even the invcterate smoker. Hence the ever inereasing demand for the famous toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. No finer tobaceos than these are produced. They never vary iu quality and are the only genuine toasted blends manufactured.* •
