And now your cigarets and the letter arrive together. I have sampled them and they are fine. What I like about them is that they are not sickenly sweet and heavy. They’re just right—the real thing. With best wishes, (Signed) Jack Lonpon.” Jack London has smoked cigarets the world over. He is in a position to make comparisons. He writes me in another letter that he first smoked real Russian cigarets during the Russo-Japanese War and that since that experience he has never found “the real thing in cigarets” until he tried MAKAROFF RUSSIAN CIGARETS | ||| MAKAROFF RUSSIAN CIGARETS Imost in the van of the retreating who calmly observed their mighty enemy writhing A stepladder lashed to a) parrot squawked above the din, “This is a h—1| ofa fix!

NOW LISTEN TO ME My enthusiasm over these cigarets is due entirely to my knowledge of them and of cigarets in general. I admit that lam a crank on the subject. Ihave been a crank on smoke for twenty years. When I talk about 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 these 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 uncertaintics of importing from Russia, you know I speak facts. IT am now extending the sale of Makaroff Russian Cigarcts to my other friends—the ones I haven't see but who are my friends just the same, because they like the good things of life as I do. carly every box of Makaroff Russian Cigarets dis- covers one of these friends for me. I seldom fail to get a hearty handshake by return mail. ‘The friends I get I keep. That's why I can afford to take all the risk of pleasing you, and J do it. Makaroff Russian Cigarets 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 | generations of experience back of them. ry cigaret is made by hand, by an artist. Every one is inspected before packing. I pass personally on the smoking quality of every lot of tobacco blended. We use the thinnest paper ever put on a cigaret. Note this particularly—iv’s a big point: ‘These cigar- ets will leave in your office or apartments no trace of the odor usually associated with cigarets. I defy any- body who approves the odor of any good smoke to object to the odor of these cigarets. (You know what the usual cigarct odor is like.) 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. These cigarets won't hurt you and clf to find it out for yourself. arets arc packed in cedar boxes, one hundred to the box—done up like the finest cigars. YOUR OWN MONOGRAM in gold, will be put on your cigarets just as soon as you have tried them out and want them regularly. I will gladly send you full information about these cigarets, but talk is deaf and dumb compared with actually smoking them. Smoke is the final test. MY OFFER Send me your order for a trial hundred of the and value you prefer. the cigarets—smoke the full hundred, if you wish. If you don't like them, say so and your moncy will be instantly returned. You need not trouble to return any of the cigarets. I will take my chances on your giving any you don’t want to some one who will like them and who will order more. I know that American connoisseurs would be quick to follow Europeans in recognizing the absolute superiority in smoking quality of Russian cigarets. My sales last month were four times those of three months ago and only one man would take his money back. If you 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.
