One of Auckland’s oldest identles has been telling an interviewer about the early days. There were no attractive shops in the “ Oueen City ” in the long ago—Just a few general stores, “ and sometimes,” said the veteran, with a smile, “ when ships from overseas were delayed, as often happened then, we had to do without things it was hard to do without. I remember once all the storekeepers ran out of tobacco and we had nothing to smoke for a week or two. It was poor stuff, that tobacco, anyhow. You’re better off than wo were for * toasted ’ is sold everywhere now—as fine stuff as money can buy.” Such reminiscences are always Interesting. Yes, and the difference is hardly greater than that between ordinary tobacco and the genuine “ toasted.” “As fine stuff as money can buy ” certainly aptly describes Cut Plug No. 10 , Bullshead), Navy Cut No. :t Bulldog!. Cavendish, Rlverhead Cold and Desert Gold—so fragrant an.l delicious, so soothing and solacing and—being toasted—so comparatively harmless! 500
