“You must get the local paper if you live in the district. It is part of the life of its public, a bit of themselves, and the advertiser who leaves it out of his calculations is, in my opinion, -missing one of the greatest assets in securing sales.” This is the considered statement of Air. R. T. Lang, of Sells, Ltd., London, based on bis own experience and observations during 40 years’ association with big business.

A note of warning- in regard to expense was sounded by Air. D. Christie at Thursday night’s meeting of the Foxton Horticultural 'Society, when matters pertaining to the twenty-first anniversary celebration in connection with the Society were under discussion. The celebration, lie said, would prove a fairly expensive business, and it was to be/hoped that- the exhibition would be favoured with good “doors.” . The Otaki' Society had been fortunate, lie said, in getting the Governor-General to open their show and a £24 “door” had resulted. The local -Society had been successful in obtaining Aft'. G. A. Troup (Mayor of Wellington), to officiate, at its opening ceremony next month and he hoped the local public would attend, in good force. Why is smoking so often attended with results that cause medical men to order patients to either abandon the 'habit or greatly modify it? It is simply because the percentage of nicotine in most imported tobaccos is -so high; and it is the nicotine in excess that renders smoking injurious. But our 'N.Z.-grown tobaccos contain so small a percentage of nicotine it is practically negligible. Besides they are all toasted, and toasting eliminates the deleterious properties and develops flavour and aroma. These brands appeal to all who study their health and applreciate really pure tobacco. They are exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry). If you like a full-flavour-ed sort, try “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bull’s Head label), or the rather mi Id or “Navy ; Cut” (a very choice blend —Bulldog label). Then there is the famous “Cavendish Mixture”, (medium), and the popular “Tjiver-, head Gold” (mild and mellow). Any of these brands may be smoked with impunity, and cost twenty-five per cent, less than the foreign goods.—A-dvt. 53.
