32 ” “Always the Same, Says Pipe-smoker About This Tobacco! After five years of companionship he gives the pipe enjoyment “secret” A tobacco that keeps a pipe-smoker contented for five years apparently has something about it of interest to the great pipe-smoking fraternity. And so it is with pleasure that we re- roduce a letter from Mr. Beatty of South Carolina, who reserved his opin- ion of Edgeworth for five years—and then spoke up. Charleston, S. C., February 10, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co., Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: I've done a lot of pipe smoking. There's hardly a brand or a blend that I haven't tried out at some time or other. But speaking of smoking tobacco that brings real enjoyment and never changes, 1 want to say that there is just one tobaceo that gives me real enjoyment in my pipe—Edgeworth. I have used Edgeworth Ready Rubbed and Plug Slice for over five years, in all climates and under all conditions, and I find it always the same. It is always mellow and moist, and its genuine flavor lasts. There is no bite or parch in Edgeworth, and the quality, whether you buy it in small or large quantities, is always perfect. Thanks to the manufacturers for their wonderful product, and I hope that Edge- worth can always be obtainable by the undersigned, Guy B. Beatty. To those who have never tried Edge- worth, we make this offer: 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 Edge- worth wher- ever and whenever you buy it, for it never changes in quality. Write your name and address to Larus & Brother Company, 16 S. 21st Street, Richmond, ‘a. Edgeworth is sold in various sizes to suit the needs and means of all pur- chasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Stice and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed are jacked in small, pocket-size packages, in handsome humidors holding a pound, and also in several handy in-between sizes.

Jack Juniper, who boasted a smatter- ing of Nipponese, volunteered to act as interpreter. “Now tell me what you want to drink,” announced Jack grandly, after we were seated, “and I'll pass it on to the boss.” With halting Japanese phrases and much inhalation, Jack translated our orders to Yoshi. Finally Jack turned to me. “What's yours?” he asked, “Lemon soda with lots of ice,” I re- plied. Jack's face fell. He knew that my order would be difficult to translate. However, he made a brave effort. “Ano ne—ano ne san—” but Jack couldn’t think how to say “lemon” or “ice.” He made motions as if drawing a cork, but Yoshi couldn't get what he was driving at. “I'm afraid you'll have to order some- thing else,” he said finally. “There’s a couple of words Pve forgot.” Everybody smiled—everybody except me. With great ceremony I beckoned to Yoshi. “I'll explain my order to him,” Is A chuckle ran around the table. “He can't speak Japanese, can he?” I heard a girl whisper to Jack. “No—he never spoke a word of Jap- anese in his life,” came the answer. “But watch him. *This will be funny. He'll probably give an imitation of flying a kite.” Yoshi addressed me. “What you rikee, boss?” he asked. There was a pause. All eyes were on me. I hesitated—prolonged the suspense as long as possible. Then in perfect Japanese I said to Yoshi: “Yoshi san, you sabe orr same mizu but this kine too much hard, stop inside izaboxu maybe six, seven month orr right, spose you bring wan hifty-cent size grass and putting in grass pranty hard mizu and firring up with remon soda mizuo,” The effect on my friends was tremen- dous. The laughter stopped. There were gasps of amazement. They demanded the name of my teacher. “Well, folks,” I replied, “it may sound strange, but the truth is T never had a teacher. And just a few days ago I couldn't speak a word of Japanese.” And T can’t now, either, so far as I know.—Howard D. Case, in Honolulu Star-Bulletin, A Visit to Grandma's “Axp were you good children?” we asked them, for they had spent the holi- day with their grandmother. “We were little angels,” said Doris modestly. “Do you know what Grand- mother does?
