FIVE FOR A
QUARTER
That's All 1t Costs to Buy Good
Cigars Today. Smokers
Everywhere Enthusiastic

1t seems out of the question to
some smokers-but the sober truth
is that there is a good cigar now
selling at sc. 1t sold at more than
a nickel for years. 1t became so
popular that the makers put the
price down to five cents. And i'm
proved the quality. Sales mounted.
Men like it because it is mild, fra
grant and satisfying as only ripe
tobacco can be. Millions are sold.
Yet some smokers hold back. They
can't quite believe in any cigar sell
Ing at &c, no matter how well it's
established. If you're an unbeliever
you're standing in your own light.
Ask for "HaUana Ribbon" and pro-
duce a nickel. Then, put on the
work with that cigar. Smoke it
fast or slowly. Notice its aroma,
mildness, sweetness. Notice how it
satisfies you without leaving you
fed up. You'll bank on Havana
Ribbon from then on.
