Asked how long he had been a smoker, a witness in a Melbourne co'Urt cast replied: "fifty years." "And how much tobacco, .now, do you smoke weekly?" was the next question. "Two ounces" replied the witness. "H'm — quite moderate," commented couhsel. "Neverthless it means, in plain English, that you've spent in all, about £150, approximately, in smoke?" "Well, what about it?" demanded witness, "I've had value — and good value, too, for my money." Counsel shrugged his shoulders and sat down. Well, £150, spread over half-a-century is not so much, after all. Good tobacco is worth more than it costs. Take our New Zealand brands, for example, and thinlr of the comfort and enjoyment they represent to the smoker. Is there anything else that could yield him so much pleasure? There are four of these brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10. Delightful, every one of them — and quite harmless. They are toasted! The demand for all four proves conclusively the appreciation in which they are held everywhere.
