"SPEAR HEAD" BEST CHEW
Many prominent physicians declare
chewing to be the moit wholesome way
of enjoying tobacco.
"I began chewing gome years aijo,"
said one, "and I soon found that it is
the only way to gtt the benefit of all
the rich juices stored up by nature in
the tobacco leaf. I refer, of course, to
the plug form of tobacco, which is the
most natural and the cleanest form.
"Chewing good tobacco like Spear
Head makes the salivary glands more
active, which in turn has a lncficial
effect on the whole sytcm. Add to this
the sweet, mellow, delicious flavor of a
chew of Spear Head, and you have
the highest possible degree of tobacco
satisfaction.
"I mention Spear Head because I
have found that this brand is excep
tionally pure, being made in a fac
tory that's run strictly according to
pure-food rules."
Spear Head is made of sun-ripened
Hurley, which it acknowledged to be
the richest, mildest, finest flavored to
bacco leaf in the world. And it is
produced by the latest processes, which
develop the quality and luscious flavor
of the choice Ilurlev to the jupremc de
gree. A chew of Spear Head has a whole
fome relish that is not found in any
other chewing tobacco. In 10c cuts,
wrapped in wax paper.
