A HELP TO GOOD THINKING
The Right Cigar Makes Right
Thoughts Come at the
Right Time.

There are good many men in
Bemidji who never start out to
buy anything that may require a
little bargaining without lighting
a cigar. It is fact that a good
cigar helps smoker to think
and is often the means Of ma oing
a good trade.
But the cigar has to be a good
one, like Wadsworth Bros.
"Chicos,' a cigar that smokes
freely, with pleasant flavor,
and whose ash does not com nit
the objectionable sin of coming
off IN little fecks..
Any one who wants help to
good thinking, should get a
"Chico" from E, A. Barker and
see how it's possible to sell for
sc a cigar that is equal in quality
to any 1Oc cigar ever made. Try
one and see what an aid to
thought it is, as well as giving the
perfect enjoyment that comes
from a good smoke.
