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. Beat dealers have it. 
From A. B.LomberCott, Rochester. 
Having smoked yonr tobacco. Vanity Fair, by I hr. 
camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 
fragrance and taste superior to all brands known to 
me. Being in search of a tobacco that would Dot tiro 
the tongue and mouth, 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 
graced! make-believe for spare hours. For cigar¬ 
ettes Vanity Fair has no equal. Best dealers have it. 
From Forest and Stream, N' Y. 
We have received from Messrs. Kimball & Co., of 
Rochester, some choice specimens of their celebrated 
Vanity Fair tobacco in neat metal cases holding a 
pound each; and. after most thorough trial, do not 
hesitate to concede to it all the good qualities which 
its manufacturers claim for it. It is a most superior 
article, and a great comfort to discriminating 
»mok ers.

PAPER STEM PIPE. 
Just the Thing for Home

Supplies a want which smokers have long felt—a 
pipe \Nhicu shall give simply the taste and odor of to¬ 
bacco smoke. This pipe never accumulates rank 
smelling liquid in stem or bowl, but is always clean 
and sweet. The bowl and mouthpiece are permanent, 
but the stem is of porous paper, to be laid aside after 
a few days’ use and a new one fitted. Extra sterna 
accompany each pipe. The price of extra stems, 
when not furnished with the pipe, is as follows: Four 
and a half and seven inches, 5c.; twelve inches, 15c.
