SEEMS MAKAROFF RUSSIAN CIGARETS Makaroff My enthusiasm over these cigarets is due entirely to my knowledge of them and of cigarets in general. Tadmit I am a crank on the subject. I have been a crank on smoke for twenty years. When I talk about smoke I am talking from the smoker's stand- point—your standpoint and mine, as smoke cranks —and not as a manufacturer. I am a smoker first and a manufacturer afterward. I started the manu- facture of these goods strictly because that was the only way to be sure that my friends and myself were going to be supplied with them regularly. If you know anything about the uncertainties of im- porting from Russia, you know I speak facts. Tam 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 discovers onc 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 con- noisseurs (another name for cranks) on the basis of smoking 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 hig! priced Russian and Turkish growths blended scientifically by our own Russian blenders. The Russians are the only real artists at cigarct blending—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. Every cigaret is made by hand. Every one is in- spected before packing. I pass. personally on the smoking quality of every lot of tobacco blended. We use'the thinnest paper ever put on a cigarct. Note this particularly—it's a big point. These cigarets will leave in your office or apartments no trace of the odor usually associated with cigarets. I defy anybody who approves the odor of any good smoke to object to the odor of these cigarets. (You know what the usual cigaret odor is like.) (G.
