FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE

Fue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In sehnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, Aimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind.
and has wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind oftobacco y0w are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.

at soc. per pound in &C. cuts, strictly
