since the LIST OF January. 1895, three hun
bred and thirty-one 1891 00O pounds Of
Virginia sun-cured tobacco, and now pro-

old Virginia sun-cured tobacco have? And
what more can be said In commentator
Of our Richmond tobacco manufacturers,
who ha4vs4 for years been awarded the
United States Government contract for
navy tobacco? Old Virginia sun-cured
tobacco is the finest chewing tobacco the
world produces. and Richmond manufac- !
turers put IL up In the most seductive |
shape. Our gallant tars may be prever- |
bal grumblers but they all unite in de- |
handing the finest Virginia sun-cured |
chewing tobacco.
