THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, MAY 9. 1907. 9 Jacobs’ Pharmacy. I Jacobs’ Pharmacy. A Sweet-Smelling Moth-Preventive There goes a moth! And at once you fear for your woolens and your furs. But it’s a question between the ruinous moth and an ill smelling moth prevention. Here then is the solutiive. An absolute safe moth “driver” with a sweet, agreeable odor—the smell of red cedar. ‘ b And the moth is a-wing right now—just when you are packing away muffs and boas, winter under wear, overcoats, draperies and rugs. Tiny eggs, less than one-hundredth of an inch long that will hatch in a few weeks the destructive little moth worm that eats the holes. Jacobs 9 Camphor and Cedar Flakes, 3 Pound Carton 25c.
