with other children near his home. AT
about l p. IN. Sunday he wandered
away.
When he did not show up that eve

As all men know, wonderful progress has

The ordinary process is but single blend
ing, which now seems crude. Yet for years
experts have considered one blending suffi-
cicnt, and have searched elsewhere for re-
hncmcnts.
In Blue Boar we blend the two American
tobaccos separately. Likewise the five Turk
ish. Then we give the Latakia from Egypt
mellowing treatment. Each tobacco de-
velopS its finest characteristics. A third and
final blending insures rare and distinctive
combination, such as you've never known
before. The old way never could bring such
perfection.
1t is costlier, slower process-but worth
it as you'll agree. The result of this simple
discovery makes all the difference in the
world-an entirely new taste, refinement
of all rehnemcnts.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-07-18
Its pedigree

We call this new cigarette Blue Boar be-
cause it is developed from America favorite
fine tobacco, Blue Boar Pipe Mixture.
For 19 years its tobaccos have been the
finest obtainable-eight rare types of the
choicest American, Turkish and Egyptian.
Here was no chance for betterment.
The secret of this new-type cigarette is
in newly discovered method of blending.
This may sound commonplace to men who
have felt that the limit of refinement had
been reached, but you will be as surprised
as others when you smoke your first pack
of Blue Bears.
Blue Boar tobacco is TRIPLY blended.
