VELVET.
The Friendly Tobacco Home Again.

Velvet Tobacco, in it's jolly red tin,
is again a feature of cigar stores, hig
and little. There is again Velvet in
the pipes, and contentment in the
hearts of an army of American pipe
smokers. And thereby hangs tale.
where's Velvet Tobacco gone "
those same folks inquired, when dis
appointed in their quest for that
age-mellowed, friendly, to bac c o
which had made them and their
pipes side partners for years.
Where was Velvet? Ask the Red
Cross man or the "Y" man. Ask the
Salvation Army lassie.- Ask the
doughboy or the Jackie Ask the
hurried and harassed Quartermaster
Corps that were responsible for
more beef, more bullets and more
tobacco" for the boys under the tin
derbies. Yes, that's why Velvet was
not on some of the dealers shelves.
1t was on the ships, in the canton
ments, in the billets and the trench
es. But Velvet is now wearing the
red chevron of an honorable dis
charge.
The doughboy who smoked the
''tinned Kentucky sunshine" in
France can now enjoy its friendly
company on his own front porch.
Those of us who willingly gave up
luxuries that the boys over there
might have them, can stuff our old
pipes once more with Velvet anu

he's back in the columns of this pa
per and glad to see you all again.
