"Tuxedo is a good, wholesome
tobacco, with a mildness and fra
grance all Its own. It adds many
degrees to my plpcpleasure."
Tobacco That is Good
For Your Nerves
TUXEDO actually soothes the nerves. It
is just mild enough to keep your nervous
system in poise, your muscles in tone. Un
like other tobaccos, Tuxedo bunts cool and
slow. There cannot be a speck of irritation
in a pound of Tuxedo.
Great singers smoke Tuxedo just before
a performance. Public speakers testify as
to its soothing influence. Doctors recom
mend it to smokers whose throats are delicate.
L. 3. BROWN
General Asent of tha Southern Hallway
at Washington
"Tuxedo has gained and main
talned a high reputation for superi
ority. Its coolness, mildness, and
genuine soothing qualities are un
rivalled." JOox
Th Perfect Pipe Tobacco
The secret of its superiority is the unique
"Tuxedo Process" by which all the unpleas
ant features are eliminated from tobacco.
Another reason is" that Tuxedo is ihade
from the .best tobacco grown the choicest,
mildest, mellowest leaves of the highest
grade Burley tobacco.
Tuxedo is widely imitated but no other manu-j
facturcr has succeeded in
making a tobacco as good
as Tuxedo.
Go to your dealer
today and get a tin of
Tuxedo. It will give you
the greatest pleasure and
satisfaction that money
will buy.
