Smoke Vanitt Fair.— It is a wonderful solace, 

 and the best proof that it works no injury is the re- 

 freshed feeling you awake with next morning, con- 

 scious that there is no reasonable task you could not 

 perform. 



For Meerschaums. 



It has a permanent existence; again and again does 

 it serve your turn, and still is ready for a fresh bout. 

 That pipe is always ready for its fill of Vanity Fair. 



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 . 



For Sportsmen. 



Vanity Fair calms the Drain, caresses the nerves, 

 and as a' semi-conscious act furnishes just sufficient 

 nucleus for floating thoughts and fancies to crystalize 

 about. Best dealers have it. _ . 



Best fn the World. Ask your Dealer for it. 



With Vanits Fair you can commune sweetly all the 

 day long; incense for your success; mourner in ashes 

 for your disappointment. Best dealers have it. 



Vanity Fair,— We wish those who hear of this to- 

 bacco the first time to ask some friend about it. Many 

 people know it; they invariably praise,

1st— Greener Greener. 



2d— Pape .Davidson. 



3d— Pape Pape. 



Out of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 best were 

 made by Pape. The Greener gun was protested 

 against on the spot for having its score false counted, 

 the fact proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 

 same gun being shot for two days per week for six 

 weeks in succession, when its average score only took 

 24th place, its very best score being greatly below the 

 scores of the bes t*ix guns.

 Circle, 30 inches; 300 pellets; average, 191; penetra-

 pellets of same shot and same charge of powder, gave 

 180,and penetration 30, although there were 40 more pel- 

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn all beforehand that our system is our own inven-
