Chaffed by his “Cobbers'’ in the Commercial room about the quality of the cheap (and nasty) cigarettes he was smoking a well-known “traveller” explained to the boys how it was. “You see,” he said, “When J.’ve collected 2,000 of these wrappers I get a gramophone free, gratis, for nothingj” “My dear chap,” remarked somebody, “if you smoke 2,000 of those things it’s not a gramophone you'll be wanting—it’s a harp!” There sure is a fearful amount of inferior “weed’’ on the market—stuff cram full of nicotine, and bound to do you in, if you go on smoking it even though you’re as strong as a horse! Many of the imported baccies are like that. But why smoke them when you can get pure New Zeaxand toasted tobacco at the nearest tobacconist’s? This beautiful leaf is practically free from nicotine. The toasting eliminates most of the poison and you can smoke freely without risk of consequences. There are only four brands: Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10- All famous for flavour and bouquet!
