A sweet, mellow chew of good tobac-
CO is wonderfully refreshing. But the
tobacco must be In Plug form to give
you the utmost of wholesome, healthful
enjoyment.
The rich, natural juices pressed into
a golden-brown plug taste so deliciously
good that it puts new snap into you.
American Navy plug is the distinc-
tive chew. 1t gives you the same type
of leaf as the best Scrap but it
gives you a0hole leaf instead of cut
tings," and it's hard-pressed instead OF
loose-packed That means more sweet,
mellow flavor and more genuine tobac-
CO satisfaction.
The leaf for American Navy is more
carefully selected and the plugs are
more carefully made than is the case
with many higher-priced tobaccos.
You actually get more than your
moneys worth of chewing enjoyment in
American Navy.
You'll know this for yourself soon
as you get started chewing American
