This is putting fact into the form of

Chew What You Know About and

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-matcned and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPs. That's why sCHNAPPS
and otherso the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a 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
thehavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHrJAPPS- passes the good thing
along-one chewer makes other

chewers and pounds Of tobacco
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.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup Of fine
Java 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 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
.eys worth of the real snappy, slim
ulatlng flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPs. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp-
erly cured.
For the ne who chews tobacco
for tobacco S sake, there is no chew
like SCEINAPPS.
