name of your tobacco dealer. well
make sure that he has Edgeworth in
stock in case yod like it.
OF to you at once we'll ship post
paid samples Of both kinds OF Edge
worth-Plug Slice and Ready Rubbed.
When it comes, give the little old
pipe a Spring housecleaning and fill it
TO the brim with Edgeworth. Settle
back in your chair and put your feet
up somewherc-the higher you get
your feet the more comfortable you
feel for a short time. Then light up
and make up your mind for yourself
just what you think Of Edgeworth.
Edgeworth Plug Slice is formed into
n cake or plug, then cut into thin, OBJ
long slices. You peel off one thin. fra
grant slice, rub it between your hands
to just the tineness you personally like
best. and there you have an average
pipeful
Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed is just
the same tobacco already rubbed up
for you. It's ready to pour straight
from the little blue can into your pipe.
Both kinds pack so well that they

of the little old pipe.
