What yen want these times is q good Five Cent
Cigar. LITTLE ROSE is a new brand OF cigars
that we have had put up expressly for our retail
trade. 1t Is guaranteed tous TO be manufactured
from selected foreign and domestic leaf 1t has no
artificial hayol, and we satisfied that the hller
contains preponderance of Cuban tobacco. In
introducing this brand our object is to furnish q
cigar at cents-hve for . cents-of delicate flavor,
good enough 10 puff at home. Believing that no
member of the family circle would object to the
odor Of pure Havana, we commend this cigar in a
speciaI manner TO gentlemen who wish to enjoy
their evening smoke a. home, without offense to
others. On trial we think you will agree with us.
