THIS PIPE TOBAGGO MAKES HIT WITH RAllROAO MEN

The Famous Edgeworth Flavor wins 35 out of 46 Pipe Smokers in this Terminal

I N railroad yards, round houses, terminals, shops-everywhere that

railroad men gather you'll find a pipe the popular smoke, and Edgeworth the favorite brand of smoking tobacco. In the Passenger Car Department of a certain western terminal, for example, there were 46 pipe smokers among 56 employes. And 35 of these 46 pipe smok- ers were Edgeworth fans. Edgeworth is indeed a "hit" with railroad men.

With railroad men a pipe is the poplar smoke

The reason lies in the Edgeworth flavor. No other tobacco has that indi- vidual mild flavor that belongs to Edgeworth alone. It comes from an expert blend of the choicest pipe to- baccos money can buy.

But no one can really describe flavor in words. You must actually smoke Edgeworth to know. Why not intro- duce yourself today, and join that great fraternity of railroad men who know the genuine satisfaction of a good pipe and Edgeworth. Dealers all over the world have it. And you can get Edgeworth anywhere in all sizes from the 15# pocket package to the pound humidor tin. Made and guar- anteed by Larus & Bro. Co., Tobac- conists since 1877, Richmond, Va.
