AS GOOD AS , ,
A CHEW OF
“SPEAR HEAD*
That Means the Supreme De*
gree of Rich, Luscious
Tobacco Flavor
NO OTHER CHEW EQUALS IT
Nature varies the flavor she puts into
the different grades of tobacco leaf—
and the best of all is the flavor of
choice red Burley that pleases you so
mightily when you chew Spear Head.
The delicious fruity flavor of a chew
of Spear Head is a revelation to the
man who has never chewed or who has
been chewing near-good tobacco.
For chewing is the one way to get
all the wholesome, healthful, appetizing
flavor of the tobacco leaf—providing
you chew a high-grade plug like Spear
Head.
No other tobacco can compare with
Spear Head ill the wholesome satisfac
tion it gives.
You get more savory sweetness in a
chew of Spear Head than in a whole
plug of ordinary tobacco.
And you get it in its purest form—
for Spear Head is made amid the most
wholesome surroundings, in a great,
new factory that’s kept absolutely
clean and sanitary.
Try this rich, mellow, satisfying, pure
chew. Such a chew cannot be obtained
in any other tobacco than Spear Head.
