It is put up in handsome muslin bags. in
which orders for M~eerschaum Pipes are

LORILLARD'S "YACHT CLUB"
Smoking Tobacco has no superior; being
denicotinized, it cannot injure neryeless
constitutions, or people of sedentary habits.
1t is produced from selections of the fin
est stock, and prepared by a patented and
original manner.
1t is very aromatic, mild and light in
weight-hence it will last much longer than
others; nor does it bnrn or sting the tongue.
or leave a disagreeable after-taste,
Orders for genuine, elegantly carved
Meerschaum Pipes, silver mounted, and in
neat leather pocket cases, are placed in the
