From Seth Green, Supt. N. Y. State Fisheries. 
I lind Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 
adapted to the wantB of the sportsman. Have 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. Lnmhcrcon, Rochester. 
Having smoked yonr tobacco. Vanity Fair, by the 
camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it Iu point of 
fjngrauce and taste superior to all brands known to 
mo. Being in search of a tobacco that would not lire 
the tongne 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 
graceful make-believe for spare hours. For cigar¬ 
ettes Vanity Fair has no equal. Best dealers have it. 
From Forest and Stream, V Y. 
Wc have received rrom Messrs. Kimball Co., of 
Rochester, some choice specimens of their celebrated 
Vanity Fair tobacco in neat metal cases holding a 
E ound each; and, after most thorough trial, do not 
esitate to concede to it all the good qualities which 
its manufacturers claim for it. It is a moHt superior 
article, and a great comfort to discriminating
