28 “It suits me, and I’m hard to please!” Some smokers are apparently easy to please and easy to suit in their pipe tobacco.. There are plenty of brands for them. Edgeworth is made to suit the hard- to-please smoker—in fact, for those who might call themselves connoisseurs, if pipe-smokers ever did apply so high- sounding a term to themselves. Mr. Burrow, while modestly regret- ting his avowed lack of equipment as a testimonial writer, speaks volumes in one trenchant sentence. Here is his letter: Larus & Brother Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen : Were I possessed of a gifted power of speech, a trenchant pen, and a Harvard vocabulary, I'd dash off to you @ prosy sentiment extolling the virtues of Edgeworth. However, il suis me—and I'm hard to please? This—after many unsatisf: tempts to suit my sensitive . My records of purchase will bear me out that it satisfies me, and I'll go a long way for Edgeworth. Very truly yours, G. M. Burrow. Edgeworth in a way is similar to the kind of men you form decided opin- ions of—perhaps| favorable, perhaps unfavorable. But the point is, the very character of such men forces you toa definite opin- ion, one way or the other. Edgeworth is pretty much that kind of tobacco—smokers either like it immensely or not at all. Let us send you free samples of Edgeworth so that you may put it to the pipe test. If you like the samples, you'll like Edgeworth wherever and whenever you buy it, for it never changes in quality. Write your name and address to Larus & Brother Company, 171 South 21st Street, Rich- mond, Va. 7 Edgeworth is sold in various sizes to suit the needs and means of all pur- chasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Slice and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed are packed in small, pocket sie packages, in handsome humidors holding a pound, and also in several handy in-between sizes. We'll be grateful for the name and address of your tobacco dealer, too, if you care to add them. To Retail Tobacco Merchants: If your jobber cannot supply you with Edgeworth, Larus & Brother Company will gladly send you prepaid by parcel post a one- or two-dozen carton of any size of Edgeworth Plug Slice or Edge- worth Ready-Rubbed for the same price you would pay the jobber. + LIFE - OUR FOOLISH CONTEMPORARIES a= It's a Gay Life Outside the telephone exchange The sheiks are standing Oscitant and heavy-lidded, A veritable regiment of scientific cuddlers. How restless they are! They shuffle and shift from foot to foot, And fill the gutter with cigarette snipes. Finally the girls file out, A cage of chirplings let loose.

Ina Pinch, use ALLEN’S FOOTsEASE His Poorest Lo A theatrical booking agent reccived a telegram to this effect: “Send me an actor capable of playing a full-blooded Indian; salary, thirty dollars.” The booking agent was more or less concerned when an actor happened in and applied for work. The agent made the offer and the actor refused, stating his salary for such work was. sixty dollars; then walked out, expecting the agent to call him back. This he did not do, but the actor turned arid said: “I have reconsidered; I will accept the en- gagement at thirty dollars. However, I will only play the part as a half-breed.” —Spokane Spokesman-Review.
