Most RichIy-FIavOred Chez
That Was Ever Pressed
Into Plugs
FAVORlTE FOR A GENERATION

Red-blooded men with real tobacco
hunger find that they can satisfy it only
by chewing, and the most wholesome
and satisfying tobacco to chew is that
made in plug form.
The limit Of luxury in tobacco chew
ing is the rich, sweet, juicy flavor that
trickles through your system when you
chew Spear Head.
No other chewing tobacco is so mel
low, so luscious and so satisfying. No
other equals Spear Head for putting a
keen edge on your appetite.
Spear Head is made of the worlds
best tobacco leaf-the choicest of red
Kentucky Burley. This leaf is selected
for its full, juicy richness with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand, is pressed into Spear Head plugs
so slowly that not drop of the rich,
natural juice escapes.
Your first chew of Spear Head will
open your eyes to the genuine enjoy
ment there is in chewing.
Chew the rich and mellow tobacco

OF century-that's Spear Head. In

did condescend to buy it was at a very
low price.
| think the matter of perishable
vegetables, such as lettuce, green
onions, ETC., not being in very great
demand by the merchants, is owing to
the fact that beautiful Ashland is a
town OF pretty homes, each one hav-

small demand for the above. But all

AS to dry goods being high, mo
bargain days" etc, can be explained
easily. Ashland merchants do not
deal in poor, shoddy goods, their
shelves are soon emptied, and there
are no old "housekeepers" left on
hand to be sold on bargain counters.
I positively dispute the statement
that the Ashland merchant passes by
the country women on the street with
scorn and just barely mods. In the
first place, it would not be to his ad-

Two weeks ago the school decided
