J. M. Barrie, the famous author, made the fortune of a London tobacconist, once upon a time. Happened this way: Barrie (a.s you may remember) eulogised m his "My Lady Nicotine" a certain tobacco which he call-' ed "Sporting Mixture." That was not its real name, but directly the public identified this mixture as Barries "Sporting Mixture" there was such a run on it that the lucky tobacconist who sold it made his fortune. "Sporting Mixture" was. a ripe^ mello\y and very, fragrant tobacco of exquisite flavour, closely resembling the "Cavendish" manufactured from New Zealand grown leaf by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (the pioneers of the tobacco industry m New Zealand). And this brand, like all the Company's tobaccos, is practically free from nicotine, while, the . foreign tobaccos all contain too much nicotine to be safe smoking. Butthen the National goods are all toasted — hence their freedom from nicotine. There are no other toasted tobaccos. Popular brands: Riverhead Gold (mild), t Navy Cut and Cavendish (medium), and Cut Plug No. ilO (full strength).*.
