SPEAR HEAD T.
SUPREME
IN QUALITY
No Better Tobacco Crown Than
the Famous Red Burley
Spear Head Is Made Of

The cream of the red Burnley
crop, of which Spear Head plug
is made, has a flavor like ripe, lus-
cious, spicy fruit.
This delightful flavor is stored
up in the juice of the leaf, and
the Spear Head process saves
every drop of this sweet, tasty
juice, and presses it evenly
through the plug.
A good plug chew is the top
notch of tobacco enjoyment. And
a chew of Spear Head plug gives
you the full benefit of all the
wholesome, appetizing quality of
the best tobacco that grows.
Get a cut of Spear Head from
your dealer-see how much solid
comfort and enjoyment its regular
use will give you. In SC and 1oc
cuts.
