 Peerless Tobacco Wokks, Rochester, W. Y. 



From J. E. Cornell, Fall River, Mass. 



Your Vanity Fair smoking tobacco is the best I ever 

 used. 



SMOKE 



It, has a decidedly beneficial effect upon the intel- 

 lectual power. Companion in our solitude, amuser in 

 our idleness, and soother in our troubles. 



From F. B. Taylou, U. S. A., in camp, Ellijay, Ga. 



I consider your Vanity Fair of superior quality, its 

 flavor approximating so clos- ly to Havana rolled leaf 

 that I can scarcely tell the difference in Cigarettes. 

 Being a great lover and consumer, and conscious of 

 how much happiness you are conferring upon my 

 brethren of the weed, in your efforts to furnish them 

 a good article, I desire to express my appreciation and 

 thanks. 

 From E. A. Greene, Richmond, Vt. 



Found your Vanity Fair at Montpelier, and think it 

 the best smoking tobacco out. aug26
