LIFE JACK LONDON SAYS: “Af ER my return to California I began to wonder what in the dickens had become of those cigarets. And now your cigarets and the letter arrive together.

NOW LISTEN TO ME My enthusiasm over these cigarets is due entirely to my knowledge of them and of cigarets in general. T nit that Lama crank on the subject. I have been a crank on smoke for twen rs. When I talk abort smoke I am talking from the smoker's standpoint— your standpoint and mine, as smoke cranks—and not as a manufacturer. Iam a smoker first and a manu- facturer afterward. I started the manufacture of the: goods strictly because that was the only way to be sure that my friends and myself were going to be sup- plied with them regularly. If you know anything about the uncertainties of importing from Russi know I speak facts. IT am now extending the sale of Makaroff Russian Cigarets to my other friends—the ones I haven't seen, but who are my friends just the same, because they like the good things of life as I do, Nearly every box of Makaroff Russian Cigarets dis- covers one of these friends for me. I seldom fail to yeta hearty handshake by return mail. The friends. I get L keep. That’s why I can afford to take all the risk of pleasing you, and J do it. Makaroff Russian Cigarcts are offered to connois- seurs (another name for cranks) on the basis of smok- ing quality alone. They have got to please you as a particular smoker, better than anything you have ever smoked before, or I don’t want a cent. ‘They are made of pure, clean, sweet tobacco, the finest and highest-priced Russian and Turkish growths blended scientifically by our own Russian blenders. The Russians are the only real artists at cigaret blend- ing—don’t forget that. These cigarets are blended, made and aged as old wines are—by men with traditions of quality to live up to—men who have spent their lives at it and who have | ene nerations of experience back of them. y cigaret is made by hand, by an artist.. Every inspected before packing. I pass personally on moking quality of every lot of tobacco blended. We use the thinnest paper ever put on a cigaret. you THE MAKAROFF COMPANY OF Jack London has smoked cigarets the world in a position to make comparisons. He writes me in another letter that he first smoked real Russian cigarets during the Russo- since that e: found “the real thing in cigarets RUSSIAN CIGARETS apanese xerience he kas never * until he tried Note this particularly—iv’s a big point: These cigars ets will leave in your office or apartments mo trace of the odor usually associated with cigarets. I det body who approves the odor of any good smoke object to the odor of these cigarets. (You know what the usual Another thing—you can smoke these cigarets day in and day out without any of that nervousness or ill feeling which most smokers are familiar with as a result of ordinary cigaret smoking. This is straight talk and I mean it.

My sales last month were four times those of three months ago and only one man would take his money ‘ou wish to enjoy cigarets at their best, without injury to your health, to your own sense of refinement or to that of your friends, tear out my coupon now and get acquainted with me and with real cigaret quality, AMERICA (G.
