Peerless Tobacco Works, Rochester, IV. V. 
From Seth Green, Supt. IV. Y. State Fisheries. 
I find Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 
adapted 10 the wants of the sportsmen, nave used 
your tobaccos for many yea.s, and know them all to 
be first-class. 
For Sportsmen. 
A trusty friend, in weariness or trouble; a solid re¬ 
source in Winter and rough weather, is a sweet pipe 
With Vanity Frir. Best dealers have it. 
From A. B. Lnmbcrton, Rochester. 
Having smoked your tobacco. Vanity Fair, by the 
camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 
fjagrance and taste superior to ull brands known to 
me. Being in search of a tobacco that would not fire 
the tongue and month, I was made acquainted with 
your Vanity Fair, and found it to be the ne plus ultra 
of natural leaf. 
For Cigarettes, 
A cigarette is an interlude to the serious habit; a 
graceful make-believe for spare hours. For cigar¬ 
ettes Vanity Fair has no equal. Best dealers have It. 
From Forest and Stream, IV Y. 
Wc have received from Messrs. Kimball Co., of 
Rochester, some choice specimens of their celebrated 
Vanity Fair tobacco in neut inetal cases holding a 
pound each; and, after most thorough trial, do uot 
hesitate to concede to it ull the good qualifies which 
Its manufacturers claim for it. It is a moat superior 
article, and a great comfort to discriminating 
imokers.
