CHOCOLATES STILL IN FAVOUR WITH LADIES.
Wellington, Yesterday. A cablegram from London, stating that the cigarette habit among women had broken up the powerful British cocoa pool, is replied to by the manager of Cadbury’s and Fry’s (New Zealand). “The cable can only be accepted as an exaggeration and savours of the form of publicity adopted by some distributors,” said Mr. G. Sara. “Competition in the cocoa market has been very keen recently. The cigarette and cocktail habit with the ladies has been in vogue since the Great Wjar and during this period, the manufacture of chocolate has steadily increased. The maintenance of the output can only be taken as an indication that the ladies are still eating chocolates, although, perhaps, they are smoking more cigarettes than formerly. The cigarette habit is a passing phase and is reported to be on the wane already.”
