HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
 FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
 FaCe-Just Smell lt

Smokers do not have to put tobacco In their pipes to find out if they like it. They can just rub the tobacco between the palms of their hands and smell it. The nose is an infallible guide to smok- ing enjoyment.
 All smoking tobaccos employ some flavoring "to improve the favour end burning qualities of the leaves", to quote the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Naturally, there is considerable differ cree in the kind of tiavorings used, and the nose quickly detects this difference. TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest, most wholesome, and delicious of all favc-ings-ehocolate. And the almost uilivorsal liking for chocolate in q great measure explains the widespread popu. larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
