Owing to the Government regulations, exacting^ a fine of 6d. per lb. on the importation of" small quantities, it is Hsjadvantageous for the individual to order tobacco for his own consumption from abroad, from the Channel Islands, &c. in order to overcome this difficulty, and tO reduce the ihtermeidijtte profits to the lowest minimum, the undersigned are now importing in bulk and forwarding direct to the consumer by post against cash or postal orders.

In ordering kindly state the size or sizes required, and the colour (Claro, Colorado Claro, Colorado, Colorado Maduro, or Maduro). Quotations will be enclosed with the sample.
