A Happy Young Bride.

One of the happiest young women in
town was married only few months
ago, but her troubles began when she
tried to think what to get her husband
for birthday present. Fortunately
she consulted Bell & Robinson our pop
ular Druggist and they suggested box
of Wadsworth Bros "Chicos."
Mr.. Younghusband congratulated his
wife on her good judgment in selecting
cigars, and says he will not smoke any
thing but "Chicos" in the future, not
only because they satisfy his fastidious
taste exactly, and just meet the needs
Of his pocketbook.
Wadsworth Bros "Chicos" are really
10c. cigar for &C., as they are made
with long Havana filler, are good size,
smoke free, and are real cigar from
the first puff clear up to the stub.
Bell & Robinson are the local agents
and want all lovers of good cigars to
try the 'Chicos."
