 tubing to tip the stems ; one pound of Vindex or Seal 

 of North Carolina smoking tobacco will fill your pipe

 last you a year, at an expense of about five dollars 

 and fifty-five cents, saving on the cigar-smoking at 

 forty cents a day $140.45, or if you buy them at 

 wholesale, say $100.00 on this one 'extra.' And by
