' .
D. S. GORDON
BrlftdUrOcDcx. US. Army
"Tuxedo tobacco glOS
a mild, cool and soatlilttg
smoke. J would not ute
any other tobacco."
3r$r-
Ay"
Whv have so manv thousands of men forsaken all other
mokes for Tuxedo?
Because they tried Tuxedo and found it the one tobacco
with all the essentials of a perfect 6mokc supremely mild,'
sweet, fragrant and without a particle of bite or irritation.
No such tobacco was ever known until the "Tuxedo Process''
was invented by a doctor to refine and mellow the natural leaf
ana remove every trace or Dttc.
Other tobaccos make big claims
about so-called processes but the fact
remains that none of these imitations
has ever equalled the original "Tuxedo
Process." That's why Tuxedo is the
most wholesome tobacco no other can
be made by the "Tuxedo Process,"
One week's trial will make you a
permanent Tuxedo smoker.
