Scotland Yard’s “Black Museum” is a sinister place. Here are preserved many things associated with great crimes and notorious criminals. Amongst them is a battered old briar pipe, once the property of Charles Peace, of infamous memory. He smoked this pipe the night before his execution. Mighty is the power of the weed ! It can bring something of comfort and of solace to even the desperate criminal during his last hours upon earth —or so they will tell you. Injurious ? Not if the quality is right. The tobaccos manuafctured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., are the purest of all. Unlike other brands, they contain hardly any nicotine, and are therefore quite harmless —a point of importance to constant smokers. They owe their comparative freedom from nicotine to the toasting of the leaf. This is an elaborate process, the secret of the National Tobacco Co. (the pioneers of the tobacco industry in New Zealand). Ask for Riverhead Gold (mild), Cavendish (medium), Navy Cut (medium), or Cut Plug No. 10 (full strength).*
