Quality did it! NO MATTER what brand you smoke now, or how much you pay, you’ll never know the complete joy of a good cigar until you try the Bayuk Phila- delphia Hand Made Perfecto. Some other cigars may have a flavor that is as pleas- ing. Some other cigars may be as well made and may burn as evenly. Some other cigars may be as mild and mellow. But no cigar, whatever the price, combines so many of these good points as the Bayuk Philadelphia Hand Made Perfecto. No other cigar is made from tobacco that is so carefully selected, aged and blended. For years and years this cigar has been one of the good old standbys in thousands of stores, but we doubt if even its most loyal followers ever knew how amazingly popular it was getting to be among millions of other smokers. Quietly, modestly, without hurrah or a single line of advertising, the Bayuk Phila- delphia Hand Made Perfecto has grown in sales until it is today the largest selling 10c brand in the world! Gentlemen! There must be something exceptionally fine about a cigar which can make a record like that! All that we ask is that you try one of these pleasant- smoking perfectos. Just one. It costs you only ten cents to make the test, but that one dime will introduce you to the world’s best 10c cigar. We're telling it to you straight when we say you'll never know the complete joy of smoking until you try the Bayuk Phila- delphia Hand Made Perfecto. it MORE FREE CIGARS FOR LUCKY MEN ° neing the numes of two, h et, N.W. r Tucky’ mer D ey are T Wate ho will recelve « hox of 23 Ba his ‘spuce i of some friend muy be next. istributor, Washington Tobacco Co., 917 E Street, N.W. stacks and box future advertis Main 4450-51 With Hitters May Prove Fatal to New Yorkers WOMEN’S BOWLING PRIZE DISTRIBUTION TOMORROW ar begir
