An Open Letter.

AA OpOA AOUUCIs
Two years ago the adul-
iteration Of cigarettes was
brought to our notice, and
after looking into the matter,
we were satisfied that of all
the millions of cigarettes an
nually sold, almost all con-
tanned opium and other drugs.
This being the case we COM
menced a series of expensive
experiments, to ascertain
whether a cigarette could be
made that would meet the APP
proval of a critical public, and
at the same time be absolutely
pure, made from the purest
and best leaf tobacco, entirely
free from all drugs and adui-
terations and covered with
that great rarity, pure rice
paper.
After long and patient ex-
perimentng, we succeeded in
producing q cigarette which
fulfilled all these requirements
and on July Is, 1881, we
commenced advertising in all
the Chicago daily papers.
Such was the popular demand
in Chicago, for BLACKwELL's
BULL DURHAM CIGARETTES,
that we were unable to sup
ply it, and for months our
factory was taxed to its
utmost capacity to fill or
ders from that section. The
unprecedented demand there
prevented our pushing the
cigarettes in other parts of
country, until we could largely
Increase our facilities for
manufacturing.
This delay has been taken
advantage Of by some I'M
scrupulous manufacturers who,
jealous Of our success in Chi
cage, have gone to distant
points, and by stealing 0m
thunder" have endeavored to
create a trade. Success al
ways brings imitators and imi-
tation is best proof of the
merit of the original.
Our facilities for manufac-
turing are now equal to any
demand, and in introducing
our goods here we make this
statement, that you may UNI
derstand that we are not fol-
lowing in the lead of any
other manufacturer.
We shall publish statements
from leading dealers in Chi
cago, showing that though I'M.
known there seven months
ago, BLACKwELL's BULL DUR
HAM CIGARETTES are now the
leading brand in that market,
and though introduced by ad-
yertising, they have since held
the first position from merit
alone, thus proving that these
cigarettes are what the public
want, More of our cigarettes
have been sold in the last
seven months in Chicago alone
than the entire product Of
certain manufacturers who
have copied our methods Of
pushing the sale of our goods.
Our firm is well known in
the South, and in presenting
BLACKwETL's BULL DURHAM
CIGARETTES, we pledge our re-
putanon that they are made
from the best and purest leaf
tobacco, are absolutely free
from any drugs or aduItera-
lions and are covered with
genuine imported rice paper.
