NCE in a while we run across a man who says,
“Aw, they don’t make cigarettes like they used
to—one’s as good as another now-a-days.”
All right, we'll give that smoker any kind of odds he
wants on Spur and win hands down.
Perhaps you are looking for that good old-time to
bacco taste. Spurs are chock full of it. ‘Couldn't help
but be, with that jim-dandy blendtof ’choice Turkish,
/ \ *
fine Burley and other home-grown tobaccos.
Light up a Spur—take a_long puff—and quicker than
you can say “Jack Robinson” you will jump for a seat
on the Spur band wagon.
Spurs have another surprise for you—they’re
crimped, not pasted. No other cigarette is rolled with **
the crimped scam, and you benefit by easier drawing,
longer burning, better taste.
And here's extra measure—three-fold package of
* rich brown and silver to keep Spurs fresh and fragrant.
No use dodging—Spurs meet you at every turn.
