"I ask you to try this tobacco"

"I F YOU are not an Edgeworth smoker, try a tin the next time

you buy tobacco for your pipe. I think you will find that it is the best smoke you ever had. Fine flavor and always mild. And Edgeworth will save you money, too. I heard of a pipe smoker who got an hour and ten minutes%moking from one pipe- ful. I don't see how you can beat that for economy.

"I am told that in a certain railroad shop in a southernstate,where there are 720 pipe smokers among the em- ployees, 432 of them smoke Edge- worth. That shows that Edgeworth is the railroad man's favorite.
