About 400 boys are expected to take rt in the preliminaries and 160 in the finals. There will be competition in the 70, 85, 100 and 115 pound classes and in the unlimited division.

To their pleasant surprise, they found in White Owl the unmistakable flavor of the high-priced cigar. The approval of former smokers of 10-cent brands, and higher, has made White Owl the largest selling cigar at 5 cents straight. Over 700,000,000 smoked since its reduction to 5 cents. Their patronage is logical. For fourteen years White Owl was priced higher—and when we reduced it, we promised absolutely the same cigar at 5 cents. Any one can reduce the price of a cigar, but to reduce price and maintain quality, is a White Owl triumph. To the host of smokers who relied on our promise never to cheapen White Owl to reduce price, we extend our thanks and add this inside information: For three years our experts have bought up the choice of each season’s tobacco crop, accumulating the greatest store of select leaf ever assembled for a 5-cent cigar. ‘Our matchless supply of fine tobacco makes the 1933 White Owl America’s outstanding cigar value and guarantees high quality for years to come.
