Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country
\The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
Of the Plug

Hundreds Of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside Of the imitation
plugs oftobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filed
with cheap, fimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages Of
certain imitation brands Of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation Of the trade mark laws, vet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are
