“I came home one evening the worse for liquor no doubt,” said a witness in the Invercargill Police Court. “My wife got on to me and threw a plate at me. I said, ‘lf that is what you’re going to do I’ll give you a hand,’ and we broke most of the dishes in the house. We were both at it together.” Harry Lauder, the famous comedian, is a great smoker. His pipe is his constant companion in all his travels. A right good companion, too! It heightens enjoyment when things are going well, cheers and solaces when the clouds gather. The man who doesn’t smoke doesn’t know what he is missing. He will tell you that tobacco is injurious—so it is—sometimes. The imported tobaccos (many of them full of nicotine) cannot be smoked habitually with safety. But the National Tobacco Company’s brands—grown and manufactured in New Zealand—with hardly any nicotine in them—are not only safe smoking, no matter how freely you indulge, but are the most fragrant and delicious on the market. They owe their fine quality and freedom from nicotine to the toasting of the leaf, in which respect they differ from all other tobaccos. The National Tobacco Company are the pioneers of the N.Z. Tobacco industry in New Zealand. Popular brands : “Riverhead Gold,” a mild aromatic ; “Cavendish,” a delightful medium ; “Navy Cut,” a choice blend ; and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), rich dark, and full-flav-oured.*
