Thirty Years a Favorite
Smoke, Famous Old Cigar
is Now Better Than Ever
at a Nickel

Some smokers raise their eye
brows when you say "five-cent
cigar You can't blame them when
you think of the average nickel
seller. But nickel cigar can be
a wonderful buy. That's where
volume production comes in.
There's one cigar on the market
selling at five cents now which cost
more for years. Today it could
not be sold at anywhere near
nickel if it weren't so popular!
After smokers try it they forget
the price. They keep on buying It:
That keeps the volume soaring, and
that keeps the price at five cents
The name is Havana Ribbon. It's
mild, mellow, smooth. It's made OF
ripe tobacco. It's been a success
for thirty years. No matter how
many times you've been dis
appointed in five-centers, you owe
it to yourself to give Havana
Ribbon q trial. You've got an eye
opening surprise coming.

.P-WLLE CRUSHES
CARDIFF ELEVEN
Strong Green Team Piles Up
$50 Score In Game
Here

Gaining ground persistently with
steam roller precision, powerful
Pleasantville A. c. eleven crushed
Cardiff, $50 on the Floral avenue
field Saturday afternoon. A pitt
fully small crowd braved pene-
trating rain to watch the one-sided
contest.
Despite the unequal score. some
really splendid football was played
and the local team showed offensive
and defensive power which should
put it we'll up with the teams of
this section as the season rolls on.
Willis Clark, only last year star
of Syracuse University tore off
some long gains which gave the
spectators a hint of what he can
do, and his backfield mate, Peter
san, was consistent ground gamer.
To attempt play-by-play descrip-
ton of the game would necessitate
the use of a series of ditto marks.
Each quarter was repetition Of
the one before it, and at no time
was the ball in Pleasantville terri
tory. Because it was raining and
the field slippery. the locals FUN
bled often with the ball. They lost
it on several occasions because of
this fact, but it made no difference
in the trend of the game Their
eagerness also cost them a number
of stiff penalties for holding and
pushing, but the Cardiff aggrega
stion could not take advantage OF
these breaks.
The Cardiff eleven was hopeless
ly outplayed. Its line might as we'll
have been made of tissue paper for
all the resistance it showed, and
every time it took the offensive the
backfeld men were forced to kick
out of danger. The little blue team
from up the road was plucky, how
ever. Their game struggle against
overwhelming odds marked the
players as hard fighters.
Forward passing proved some
what successful as employed by the
A. c. eleven, Roser and Hanlon
scoring several of the teams many
touchdowns in this manner.
The game proved that Pleasant
vile will be represented this year
by the greatest team that has ever
borne the local colors. and it is safe
to predict that fans will not be
forced to wait until the last days
