DESPERATE LOVERS APPEAL

Along the line of heart interest the
want columns give at least one bit of
evidence that the course of true love
ton indicates a checkered romance and
a trustfulness in the efficacy of the
want ad which deserves to be rewarded.
The impetuous lover rushes into print
thus:
LITTLE GIRI--My last three letters to yon
have come back unopened. but not addressed
to in your handwriting. They are in
terfering again. l know ! must communicate
with you. try this sd- which win run TIL
you answer Tell all. but be little care
full every won't know. Do yer still
feel the same: Shall held my breath TIL your
ad appears KID
This seem to be last resort. but
suggests a determination TO succeed
which will arouse more than a passing
interest. for all the world loves a lover.

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown-where the
best tobacco grows-in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections Of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That'swhy SCHNAPPS
and others of the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third Of the entire
increased consumption Of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
thef1avor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along--one chewcr makes other
chewers-untl the fact is now es-
tablished that there are many more

chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
yet been offered to the trade.
SCE4NAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS p1eases all
classes Of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
reallv 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
ey's worth Of the real snappy, slim
u1ating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than
SCF4NAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp-
erly cured.

for tobacco s sake, there is no chew
