Who Makes the Cigars You Smoke
Perhaps you never thought the matter
of very much importance—but consid
ered it enough to know the retailer from
whoip you bought.
But when you are repeatedly stung
with poor cigars you cannot always blame
the retailer—that isn’t the way to avoid
unreliable brands. Because that very
same retailer probably carries in stock
the best brands of cigars made—if you
only ask for them.
You ought to KNOW
When you get a poor cigar—and you
don’t know who made it—how are you
going to avoid the other brands of
the same manufacture?
Don’t you see that there
is no way to prevent dis-
honest or incompetent
manufacturers from re
peatedly imposing on
you by offering you
unidentified brands of
different names?
The NEW
The American Cigar Company stands
back of its brands with a responsible
guarantee of their quality. We stamp
the boxes of our standard brands with
our Triangle A merit mark so you can
immediately distinguish them wherever
you go.
Then we invite you—even urge you—*
to go to any store and ask for any one
of our Triangle A brands—then judge it
strictly on its merits in critical compari
son with the cigars of any other manu
facture sold you at the same price.
Isn't that a square deal ?
Do you know any
