ABOUT CIGARS.
3. A. Morgan Tells What MarshaIItown
Smokers Most Enjoy.

'You would be surprised said Mr..
Morgan, ito see the different selections
of cigars made in our store in the
course of a day, and hear each mans
reason for his preference" Continuing,
he said that the majority of MARSHALL
town smokers now prefer a Wads-
worth Bros Chico.
1t is a finely favored, clear Havana
filed cigar made from tobacco thor
oughly ripened under the rays Of the
southern sun. The tobacco used in the
Chicos Is fully matured and seasoned
and burns finely and perfectly, with q
fine flavor and fragrance. mfr. Morgan
recommends a cigar with a dark wrap
per, as this shows that the tobacco
has been fully matured, but whichever
color, light or dark, is selected in the
Wadsworth Bros Chico, he says, you
will get good, perfect, satisfying
smoke at cents, a cigar equal to the
ordinary ten and fifteen cent values.
