In this connection 1t should interest local smokers to know that leading tobacco dealers are giving pocket combs free at present with a sc pouch of Mascot tobacco. More than the fact that it is free, is the quality of this comb. It is made of handsome Pyralin ivory, and is both attractive and durable. A case is given with each comb.
 These free pocket combs have been supplied the local dealers by the man ufacturerS of Mascot Tobacco to call the attention of more smokers to this brand, which sells for sc, but is said to be the equal in quantity and quality of the famous 10c Burleys. As there is no obligation attached to the gift of this comb, the offer is manifestlyg one to take advantage of, both as a. safe Suard and to become acquainted with the well known Mascot tobacco.
