Many a good story is told about smoking and smokers. The latest comes from Auckland. A bricklayer was called sharply to account by his foreman for smoking “on the job.” “I’m not smoking,” he replied. “But your pipe is in your mouth !” bawled the foreman. “That’s right,” said the bricklayer, and my boots are on my feet, but I’m not walking.” The foreman gave it best. By the way, if you are looking for something special in the shape of baccy try the New Zealand (grown and manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry). Unlike the imported goods, which are more or less full of nicotine, these New Zealand brands are practically free from nicotine. This is because they are toasted, and the toasting destroys the injurious, nicotine and also develops flavour and bouquet. These are not only the purest but the most delightful of all tobaccos. They can’t harm you. They are toasted—the only ones that are. Ask for Riverhead Gold (mild), Navy Cut or Cavendish (medium), or Cut Plug No. 10 (full).*
