Then let us visit the gen eral stores one at a tithe and notice the increased number oi clerks in each, notice the lmprvoed stores and store fixtures, the increased stocks ; ask the proprietor if his business is not better than It ever was". Now visit the two hardware stores, notice increased num ber of clerks in eaoh, notice greatly in creased stocks.notice improved fixtures, machinery, etc , and see how busy they have been all the season and ask them If business is better than it was two years ago. We venture to say i that they will te'l you that their busi ness Is quite double what it was two years ago. Via'fc the grocery stores and see if you do not think they too are doing well.

The quality of the genuine sun cured tobacco used in REYNOLDS' Sun Cured and grown on soil where the best sun cured tobacco grows, has caused imitation brands to be brought out and offered as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured to unsuspecting dealers and chewers who do not look closely at the printing on the box and on the tag. These brands only imitate the outward appearance and do not possess the genuine inside quality that has been found in Reynold's Sun Cured ever since Reynolds' Sun Cured was introduced and which has so increased the chewing' of Gun cured tobaccos and proven so popular, that the vcrd.c'Sun Cured" is now printed on tags or in the advertising of many brands claimed to be genuine sun cured tobacco. Did you ever see tjie word "Sun Cured" used in any cTiewing tobacco advertisement, or on any chewing tobacco tag or label, or in any other way, before it was introduced and used to identify the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured? You sec it frequently now, because many imitation brands are being 7nade to appear as nearly like Reynolds' Sun Cured as they dare with tag, shape of plug and style of package so similar that experienced buyers 'sometimes accept these imitations as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured. . .. Don't be deceived into taking imitation brands fcr th.e genuine i Be sure the letters on the tag spell " R-e-y-n .o-l-d-s' Sun Cured," and you get the best value in sun cured chewing tobacco that can be produced for chewers.
