tended A very important discovery and
improvement was made short time ago

''Standard Navy Plug Tobacco, which,
on account of its distinct character and
quality, gained quickly a widespread pop
ularity and large sale, its popularity be-
ing that it never hardens or loses its pill
ability. So important, in fact, is this new
process in manufacturing tobacco that
the American Tobacco Co., of New York,
have been negotiating with the concern
that owned it, and last week the final pa
pers were signed, and the American To-
bacco Company bought outright the en-
tire plant, property and business OF the
Brown Tobacco Company. This pur-
chase enables the American Tobacco Co.
to add to their many well known brands
of chewing tobacco the now famous brand
of 'Standard Navy Plug" and gives them
