We put away millions of pounds of fine
Kentucky Burley tobacco every year, stored
in wooden hogsheads. It ripens Wo years.
When we take it out it's different Nature
has improved it, good as it was made it
friendlier, more fragrant, cool-smoking, k
long-burning.
Nature has given it a delicious quality of''
mildness and fragrance that no artificial
means can ever equal.
It's just that extra
touch of friendly good
ness that is building
up VELVET Tobacco
into the favor and good
will' of thousands of
pipe smokers who pre
fer to smoke tobacco
cured in Nature '.s way.
You would notice the
difference.

of fortner coffee-drinkers and can be
secured from grocers everywhere.

The summer time approaches fast, with forty brands
of heat; gone is the chill and wintry blast, the hail and snow
and gleet. Bring out the old electric fan and oil her up a
bit; thus you will be a cooler man, when Summer throws a
fit. Get out and swat the dratted fly, you gents with domes
ashine; when July comes you'll wainly try elsewhere to
make him dine. ' . ' ,
Mosquito time now comes apace with all its deadly ills;
if you would keep your earthly place without the aid of pills,
begin at once these pests to trail where'er, they can be seen, .
and slaughter skeeters by the bale-r-don't spare the kero
sene. ' t I -
Back yards and stables must be cleaned, and all the al
leyways; your porches must be tightly screened, before the
Summer, days; for otherwise some evil pest your number,
sure will get, and you'll be gently laid to restr-wirich some
folks will regret. - ,
