Friendly” is a very good word to describe the
j$gP positively pleasing quality that sets VELVET
< tobacco apart.
There is that indescribable something about VELVET
that is associated in men’s minds with the thought
of a friend.
It is a satisfying smoke—never harsh; without a bite.
Like a friend it “agrees” with you no matter how
much you use it.
{ Long, patient ageing—in
k wooden hogsheads—does it.
* Friendship must ripen
slowly. Good tobacco the
same way. An army of
men have learned this
through VELVET.

city, after having once seen
our trees getting their “new

the rancid smell of burnt gas,
and the other smelly odors of
the city to freshly plowed
ground, or the delicious, in
describable fragrance that
abounds after a rain in April.
Oh, give me the country every
