Sc DOES IT!
1t Buys a Good Cigar Any
Place, Any Time, if You
Know the Password

"But will it?' you say, thinking
of the typical five-center that claims
to be worth more. Can't blame you
for asking.
At the same time, there is fine,
fragrant cigar on the market today
at just five cents. There is smoke
to be bought for nickel now that
used to cost more years ago. That
sold big for thirty years. That
sells better than ever today.
The name is Hauana Ribbon.
Will you forget the old-time FIVE
center, the old-time ideas of cigar
prices and buy just one Havana
Ribbon on quality alone? If you
will, you are going to get the smoke
surprise of your life. You're going
to buy mellowness, mildness, rich
ripe satisfaction.
Don't be afraid of Hayann
Ribbon. We can offer quality at the
price because we make the cigar
by the millions. If you'll only try
ono, you'll forget the price.
