CHEWING TOBACCO. AN IxponrAs,


IN putting up Fine Cut Chewing Tobacco has
been adopted by Aessrs. E. Goodwin b Bro. Of
NewYork City. M
Tobacco Of the Best Quality is selected, neatly
wrapped in Tin Foil, and Patent Proceed
The great advantages Of this over other brands
consists In the size Of the packages, rendering it
more convenient to carry in the pocket and by be-
ing pressed solid, it keeps moist and ss, and inn.
proves in quality it used while In other brands
as soon as the package is opened, the quality rap
idly deeriorates-the tobacco growing dry-and
ittering the pocket to the great annoyance Of the
consumer. The dressing which the Fine Cut To-
bacco undergoes in the process Of manufacture,
frees it from all grit impurities, Objectionable
in the use of all Plug Tobacco. Chewers viii do
well to give the Patent Pressed trial, and judge
for themselves.
For sale BY Wholesale Merchants who receive it
