One of the Great Successes of the Day.
During recent interview with the
manufacturers of "Battle AK" Plug
Tobacco they said they had been amply
repaid FOR the enormous amount of
money which they have spent for news
paper advertising by q wonderful in
crease of business. They claim that
they have had an excellent opportunity
to tsst the advantage of newspaper adj
vsrtising, because ever since they started,
manufacturers of other brands of plug
tobacco who have for years made enor-
nous profits by giving the consumers q
small piece of tobacco no better than
Battle Az" Immediately recognized
the fact that on account of the superior
quality and liberal sized piece of Battle
AK, . their business was. in great dan
ger of being cqrtailed. In their effort to
prevent this they waged bitter war
against the manufacturers of "Battle
Ak" and resorted to methods of all
kinds which seemed Questionable to
business men who possess higher sense
of honor and fair DEALING. Notwith-
standing all this handicap, the manu-
features of Bate AK, through the
medium Of their newspaper advertise
ments, were able to tell the consumers
of the high grade and fine quality of
Battle Ak" and the great economy de-
rived from using 1t, until today Battle
AK" is pronounced by all the greatest
SUCCESS on the market and mora pounds
of it are sold than of any other brand
of plug tobacco. So much for newspaper
