chewed, to the population, in those

was first sold than there are IN the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
vet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup OF Tine
lava coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
Qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 1Oc. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ev's worth of the real snappy, shn-
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than

way to hide poor tobacco improp-
