here's A Chew
THAT WILL
CHEER YOU UP
American Navy" Has No
Sgyal For Tobacco Taste
FULL OF CHOICE FLAVOR

The fact that the chew is the
best way to use tobacco is proved
by the refreshing effect you get
from it.
The sweet, flavory juices,
which chew of American Navy
brings directly against your
tongue, give complete tobacco sat-
isfaction. That accounts for the
pleasure and comfort American
Navy gives you.
American Navy is made from
the same kind of leaf used in good
cigars. But instead of being loose
cuttings" it is whole long leaf,
pressed into clean, pure Plugs.
Try American Navy. You'll be
surprised to see what a splendid
quality it is, and what a big cut
you get fer your money. Your
dealer has it-5c and 1oc cuts.
