pleted.
The manufacturers Of Lord Sails
bury state that this brand requires
only a trial 10 find favor with smOk-

cd smokers easily recognize i'm Lord

which goes only with the most care
fully selected Turkish tobacco. and
especially commend its unusual mild
ness and fragrance. On the whole
IL seems as though this method of get
