N.Z. Tobacco Popular
iuuowu i viiuur “New Zealand manufacturers, especially those trying to establish new lines in popular favour, would be greatly heartened if they could listen to the tobacco talk of our troops,” says the official war correspondent with the New Zealand Forces in Great Britain. “Only a dozen or so years ago, hardened smokers turned up their noses in scorn at the offer of New Zealand tobacco. One has to live among soldiers, especially now that all reserves of New Zealand tobacco have been exhausted, to appreciate the thoroughness of the change-over. There is more consistent grousing about tobacco than about anything else—and the tenor of it all is that “real” tobacco, New Zealand tobacco, is unobtainable! So widespread have the complaints been, indeed, that representations are being made to New Zealand to see whether the lack cannot be supplied.”
