]—Better cigars for your money, whatever . price you pay. 2—Better in EVERY way—aroma, cleanness, . condition. ; ‘ 3—And always UNIFORM—the clgar that suits you to-day the same next month and next year. The American Cigar Company’s scientific system of handling the tobacco leaf has made it possible to guarantee absolute uniformity of quality in every one of the tigars it produces. The American Cigar Company knows where its tobacco comes from. It maintains a great buying and storing service in each tobacco-growing district; and buys exactly the tobacco it wants. Its tobacco is all harvested under the direct supervision of its own experts, and the plants are cured in its ‘own storing houses on the plantations. ~ The new two-year fermenting process is what gives to the cigar its best smoking qualities. It extracts every last trace of the original harsh greenness and develops to perfection the aromatic fra- grance of choicest selected leaf. : The blending process combines in an actual blend the characteristic goodness of each required variety of leaf. The particular brand that suits your taste to-day will be exactly the same next year—in strength, flavor and grade. : “ANNA HELD” CIGAR 5 cents The American Cigar Company manufactures many brands of cigars from as many different “blends” to suit as many different tastes. Among all these widely varied “ blends ” your taste has been provided for. And of them all there is none that suits more smokers than the Anna Held. “Anna Held” is a direct and unmistakable proof of the quality produced by these new processes of fermenting and blending. It is a.smooth, rich, even smoke of mellow flavor and absolutely uniform quality. Sold hy all dealers who want to give good value. | Trade Supplied by GEO. R.

The “‘I'riangle A” seal on each end of every box of “Anna Helds” is the dis- tinguishing' mark of excellence. It identifies the product of the American Cigar Company’s exclusive system of making better cigars for your money. The box wrapping is a new feature. The tough, waterproof parchment paper wrapper, sealed at each end with the “Triangle A” in red, goes far to protect the cigars from deterioration and to keep them in the same perfect condition as when they were packed—the condition from which the most enjoyment is obtained. i The American Cigar Company h2s expended millions of dollars to perfect and provide equipment for delicate, complex and vital, but hitherto unknown processes of tobacco culture—exclusive -processes -of -fermenting and -blending the choicest varieties of cured leaf. These processes extract all greenncss and rankness from the leaf before it goes to the factory—which is just the difference between the new and the old way ~of making cigars. You get a rich, even, full-flavored, uniformly blended smoke, instead of a mere “ tobacco sandwich ” of other manufacturers, made on the cigar- maker’s bench from hurriedly-mixed tobaccos. ANNA HELD CIGAR—5¢. A delightfully smooth, rich flavor—every puff the same full, mellow aroma, well-made, even-burning, satisfying in every particular. Just such a smoke as you've always welcomed at three-for-a-quarter. Sold by all dealers in good cigars. ' Trade supplied by GEO. R. NEWELL @ CO., MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Bill to Remove Internal Revenue Tax From Leaf Tobacco. ‘Washington, Feb. ..—A compro- mise bill removing all revenue tax from leaf tobacco was agreed upon for a fayorable report by the house ways and means committee.

Howe, the assistant cashier. He opened the doors and a crowd of de- positors swarmed after him. Mr. Howe made a speech to the depositors, say- ing in substanee: “Within a week you will receive 35 to 40 per cent of your money and the balance within a few days after $hat. All depositors will be paid in full. We have $100,000 in eash on hand and some securities that will be disposed of within a week. There is not the slightest fear that any of the depos- jtors will lose any of their money.” Receiver Healy, who appeared at the bank a short time after Mr. Howe had addressed the depositors, confirmed the statements made by him. “I have no doubt,” he said, “that all the depositors will be paid in full. We are making arrangements to care for the savings accounts at once, but the commercial depositors will be eom- pelled to wait for a few days until we know just where matters stand.” The receiver declared, after looking over the books, that while the depos- itors will be paid in full the stockhold- ers will lose every cent they have put into the bank.
