EMCEE About five years ago, after trying out many different styles of pipes from the Missouri meerschaum to the genuine meerschaum, including the upside-down style made popular by Vice-President Dawes, and experi menting with Just about all the to baccos then on the market except Edgeworth, I finally decided that pipe. smoking was not for me. For the last year or so I noticed the boys around the office here using Edgeworth to the exclusion of all other tobaccos and evidently getting real pleasure from their pipes. In April of this year I was in Canada on a business trip and decided to take another whirl at pipe-enioleng. So I invested a good share of myliavings in a pipe and a few cents additional for a ran of Edgeworth. From then on I have been figura tively kicking myself around the block about once each day when I think of the five lean years I put in trying to get along without a pipe. Houever, I am trying to make up for lost time and am succeeding quite well, Why. I failed to try Edgeworth long ago will have to go down in history as an unsolved question But now that I have found it, the years ahead look rosy to me.
