It was aboard the ChristchurchDunedin express, and the young cockney new chum kept them roaring with aughter. “The clunk wot booked me passage at the booking offius in London,” he said, “told me there wasn’t no ’ouses in Noo Zealand, nothin’ but tents, and skited I’d want a gun ter shoot the wild Mowries wot was halways a’prowlin’ arlrand arter scalps. Pulled me leg proper, ’e did, the cow! Me for a smoke now. And there’s somefin’ I’ll ’and it to Noo Zealand for special, and that’s toasted baeca! Used to smoke shag in Whitechapel, but shag’s not in it wif Cut Plug No. 10. A fair treat! Well, ’ere’s Hashburton. This is where I ’op it!” And grabbing his bag he vanished. It’s the toasting that makes these famous tobaccos different from all others. It ivorks most of the nicotine out of them and leaves them sweet as a nut. You can smoke them all day long with safety and real enjoyment. Five brands only—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. 727
