BEST WAY TO USE
TOBACCO-CHEW IT!
Most Wholesome and Enjoyable
Firm of Chewing Tobacco
Is the Plug Form
"AMERICAN NAVY" TASTIEST PLUG
You'll always find that the most con
tented tobacco users are the men who
chew. It's the only way that the whole
tome, mellow-sweet leaf gets close to
the tongue and pleases the palate with
rich, juicy flavor. And when the palate
is pleased, digestion is aided and the
general health promoted.
But the form of your chew is highly
important. While tobacco is made in
various forms for chewing, it is a fact
that no form lias ever been discovered
which will compare in healthful and
satisfying quality with the old-fashioned
plug.
Chew a first-class plug tobacco, like
American Navy, with the delicious, ap
petizing, _ digestion-promoting flavor
pressed right into it and kept there, and
you get all the enjoyment and benefit i
out of tobacco that the choicest leaf
can give you.
No "scrap" chew made can compare
with American Navy. In "scrap" only
pieces of leaf are used, while the whole
rich leaf goes into the American Navy
plug. Also "scrap," being loosely pack
ed, can't possibly hold the fresh,
fruity flavor of the leaf like a hard
pressed American Navy plug.
Your first trial of American Navy
will open your eyes to the genuine en
joyment there is in tobacco when it's
pressed into golden-brown plugs and
shewed. In 5c and 10c cuts.
