PIPE SMOKING INCREASING
NEW PROCESS BY WHICH BITE" is
REMOVED FROM TOBACCO. RES
PONIBLE FOR POPULARITY.

Have you noticed that many more
ten years ago." asked Mr.. John Bradley
an experienced tobacco man who is at
the Miller hotel for a few days. 1T is no
feXaggeratiOn to say continued Mr.. Bag
by, that two million more men are smOk
ing pipes 0 than were ten years agO.
This tremendous increase is due to the
discovery of a process of treating Bur
ley tobacco to remove the bite from it,"
''For many years tobacco men have
known that Kentucky hurley is the sweet
est and mildcSt of tobacco, but it remain
ed for Il Richmond doctor to discover the
famous Tuxedo Process which removes
every trace of bite or sting. and preserves
the original sweetness and freshness Of
the Burley.'
That this Tuxedo process" does actu-
ally remove all tn ebite and sting from
the tobacco is proven by the hearty Ell
dOrsement which the tobacco has receiv.
ed from hundreds of Americas greatest
men, including such well-knOwn names
as Rex Beach, John Philip Sousa, Con
gresham William +. Murray of Massa
chusetts and w. Stuart Reyburn of Penn
sylvania, George Randolph Chester, the
author, Harrison Fisher the artist, Hen
ry Reuterdahl the well known expert on
naval construction, N%ihljarmar Stefan
sson the noted explorer, and many 9th
ers.
The manufacturers Of Tuxedo are Civ
ing Il practical demonstration of the JUS
LITIGATION of their claims as to Tuxedo
tobacco, in this city this week, by giving
free for a few days a unique imported
cherry pipe with a genuine weichsel stem
Tuxedo i'll this pipe makes the sweetest
smoke in the world.

SOME WERE OVERDUE, in fact. Thanks
to the splendid demand for cars, which we
and other responsible concerns were unable
to supply in full, some Of them were accorded
a longer lease of life than their product
or experience or financial backing entitled
them to.
THERE WAS NO EXCUSE, however, for
any buyer being in ignorance Of what i'm

strongest automobile manufacturers.

Company is one of the fve-and it will not
be fifth in point Of stability either.
HAVE HIM ANALYZE the latest financial
statements of these five strongest and tell
you which have the greatest amount Of assets
in proportion to Notwithstanding bond
ed indebtedness, etc., of course. We think
he'll tell you the Maxwell Motor Company
is one Of the leaders.
