NAVAJO BLANKETS
FREE THIS WEEK
Tobacco Dealers Supplying Smokers
With This Pleasing Novelty.

A Navajo blanket-miniature size,
to be sure-will be given free by
prominent tobacco dealers of Salem for
the next few days to every purchaser
of a package of Omar cigarettes, These
blankets exactly reproduce the beauti'
full color work and unique designs OF
the Navajo Indians. And because II
its large size, five and one-halt by
eight and one-hslf inches, this new
novelty is practical as well as beauti'
ful. It requires only eight for pill
low top, and no very great number fol
table covers, den draperies, sashes
dress trimming, etc.
The gift of the Navajo blankets
through local dealers is made to en-
sure a wide trial of Omar Cigarettes
because of the belief on the part OF
the manufacturers that smokers gener
ally will like and continue using this
brand. 1t is said that the plan is
fully justified by results in other cities
The cigarette is described as
new Turkish blend of very high quail
ty, with flavor and fragrance which
are wholly different and unusually
pleasing. The evident value of the
gift blanket is certainly evidence OF
remarkable confidence.

AS TO THE COST OF FLOUR,

you must see for yourself that good
flour like FISHERS BLEND cannot
be produced as cheaply as a common
flour.
When urged to buy -four costing
less than FISHERS BLEND just keep
in mind the fact that by no chance can
the cheaper flour be as good; there IS
no possibility of it meeting your pur.
poses in anything like the satisfactory
way that FISHERS BLEND insures
Manufacturers and sales agents Of
cheaper hours may use the argument
that their flour is just as good as
FISHERS BLEND. Your common
sense must show you that this cannot
possibly be, even if you have not made
the actual test of use.
Making FISHERS BLEND the
standard of comparison is the highest
kind of compliment to it's superiority
When anyone says "As good as
FISHERS BLEND" you know at once
that the merits of FISHERS BLEND
Flour are above question.
