The largely increased demand for Sun Cured
tobacco, created and sustained by the distinctive
quality o the original Reynolds' Sun Cured tobacco,
has encouraged other manufactur-ers to place on the
market imitation brands and tags which are made to
look so near like the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured
that unsuspecting chewers and dealers receive the
imitations under the belief that they are getting the
genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured tobacco.
Look close and see that the letters on the tag
spell R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s', Sun Cured, and you cannot
be deceived in getting what you ask for and want,
the hestvaluc ror your money that can be produced
from the genuine Sun Cured tobacco, grown where
the best sun-cured tobacco grows.
ASK FOR "REYNOLDS'"
and see that you get the original and genuine Sun
Cured tobacco.
It's like you formerly got, before Reynolds.
Sun Cured was offered to the trade, costing f-om
60c to $1.00 per pound, and is sold at .00c per
pound in 5c cuts, strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs.
