POLO CIGARETTES

Fifteen better cigarettes for ten
cents" is the inducement offered
to smokers by the Liggett ana
Myers Tobacco Co., in introducing
Polo Cigarettes in this city.
Backed by a liberal use of news
paper advertising, Poios are being
given widespread publicity with the
object Of convincing smokers that
for the price Polo is the best cigar
cite value in the market.
Realizing that it is a true indica-
ton of "old times" to be able again
to push a cigarette in a dime pack
age, the manufacturers have adopt
ed a lively new slogan for the pres
ent advertising campaign. That's
more like it" is the caption which
accompanies the Photographic car
toons of delighted Polo smokers.
1t is believed that Polo will catch
ON" instantly, not only because OF
its attractive price, but because Of
the widely recognized reputation Of
Liggett q Myers for putting good
tobacco into their products: Tobacco
experts concede that Polo is an UNI
usually good tasting smoke. This
is due to the fine quality of Viz
ginia, Burley and Turkish tobaccos
used. and also the unusual way in
which the tobaccos are blended.
The black and red package is a
fitting container for quality
smoke-one of the handsomest pack
ages that has ever been put out.
Nor have the manufacturers skimp-
ed in quantity in order to put up 4
quality smoke in a dime package
Every Polo Cigarette is full weight
and full size.
