That is what you get when you buy your cigars at our store. We have the favorite brands of the market aiming at all times to keep the best. There's a whole lot about cigars that the average smoker doesn't know, even it he thinks' he does. Some of the bsd things about these things that he doesn't know is that sometimes he pays his money out for the cheapest kind of a cigar, thinking he is getting the worth of his money. He smokes It, Is satisfied and that's all there Is to It except the man who sold the cigar made a cent or two extra by putting an inferior article off on him. We don't make our money In this manner. Tou can send a child to our store for a good cigar and it will get the beet we have. Our motto Is: If you sell cigars, sell the best. GEORGE IV. FLETCHER PRESCRIPTION DRUfiGIST .
