It is generally believed that the tobacco plant came originally from America just after the Spanish conquest of the New World. There is no doubt that smoking was introduced into England and the Continent of Europe from this source. The tobacco plant, however, is stated to be a native of gome of the Pacific islands. The Papuans have had the plant and smoked cigars from its leaves for centuries. The natives of the interior of Australia also have usod the plant for smoking for as far back as they can remember. The native product, however, is crude and strong to the taste, very different to the excellent, high-grade, fragrant brands of tobacco to be secured from W. H. Preece’s wellassorted stocks. Try them. Devon Street Central, New Plymouth.
