Why Should I Smoke
TUXEDO?
'THJXEDO is the logical smoke for million-
-*• aires because it is impossible to buy a
better tobacco. *
Tuxedo is the logical smoke for the eco-
nomical man because there are 40 pipefuls
"Tuxedo appeals to we unngly ln 3 ten-cent tin—making the average cost
on account of its cool mild pleas- per pipcfu! only one-fourth of d cent I
ant flavor. Therein lies Us super-
r> all other tobaccos. " Io buy cheaper tobacco means to get
less pleasure out of smoking because it is j
impossible to rtidke a tobacco as good as
Tuxedo at less than the Tuxedo price/
The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette
| Tuxedo is made of only the finest choic-
' est selected leaves of perfectly aged Burley
stanton wakbuhton tobacco. It is made by the original Tuxedo

tobacco you can smoke in a room full of lace
