W IT Vanity Fair.

cents. Highest award, Vienna, 1873. Send for cir¬ 
cular. WM. 8. KIMBALL «ft GO., 
Peerless Tobacco Works, Rochester, N. Y. 
From 8etli Green, Supt. N. Y. State Fisheries. 
I find Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 
adapted to the wants 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 wearineas or trouble; a solid re¬ 
source In Winter and rough weather, is a sweet pipe 
With Vanity Frlr. Best dealers have it. 
From A. B.Lamberton, Rochester. 
Having smoked your tobacco, Vanity Fair, by the 
camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 
fiagrance and taste superior to all 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 m 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 hare it. 
From Forest and Stream, IV- 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 
pound each; and, aftermost 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 
Bmokers. 
THE 
PIPER STEM PIPE. 
Just the Thing for Home 
and Camp Use. 
Supplies a want which smokers have long felt—a 
pipe which shall give simply the taste and odor of to¬ 
bacco smoke. This pipe never accumulates rank 
■melling 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 stems 
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. 
Sold by pipe and cigar dealers generally, or a complete 
sample sent by mail for $1 by
