Who Were Mark Twain's COrncOb Starters?

Mark Twain's favorite pipe was a cOEncob. Perhaps you've never heard how his new corncobs were broken in.
 He said: CT get a cheap mana man who doesn't amount to much anyhow, who would be as well, or bet ter, dead-and pay him g dollar to break in the pipe for me. get him to smoke the pipe for couple of weeks, then put in new stem, and continue operations as long as the pipe holds together" ]"
 We wonder how many, if any, of Mark Twain's corncob starters are alive today.
 If there ever were any, we don't be- feve that 8 great enough number sur Vive to overwork our mail-deSk.
 We're going to send samples of Edgeworth Tobacco to any who send us their names and addresses.
 We're not going to ask them to pro- duce the stems as proof.

matter how we'll they speak of Edge worth, no matter how good are the smokers stories they tell US about Mark Twain and others-unless the writers happen to say that they are willing to have said letters published.
 We've heard quite a number of good stories about pipe smokers, but there must be a lot we haven't heard.
 You may know some stories that others would enjoy reading in this column.
 Probably they're worth samples of Edgeworth in both forms-Plug Slice and Ready-Rubbed.
 In any case, we'll send you samples, whether you have good story to tell us or not.
 Edgeworth Plug Slice is shaped into flat, oblong cakes. Through these cakes keen knives are run that cut them into thin slices. In its box it ap- pears solid cake, but each slice sepa- rates easily from the cake and when rubbed between the hands furnishes an average pipeload.
 Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed is ex- actly the same as Plug Slice, except that it is rubbed up before packing.
 Both kinds pack so well that they light quickly and burn evenly to the bottom of your pipe.
 Edgeworth is sold in various sizes to suit the needs and means of all pur- chasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Slice and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed are packed in small, pocket-size packages, in handsome tin humidors, and glass jars, and also in various handy in- between quantities.
 We will send you samples of both kinds, postpaid.
 Address Larus & Brother Company, fl South Fist Street, Richmond, Va. rTO Retail Tobacco Merchants If your iobber cannot supply you with Edgeworth, Larus & Brother Com pany will gladly send you prepaid by parcel post one or two-dozen carton of any size of Edgeworth Plug Slice or Ready-Rubbed for the same price you would pay the jobber.
