From an Officer U. §. A., Fort Yuma, Cal. 



I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of 

 your favor of Sept. 13th, 1875, also of the Vanity Fair 

 sent by you same date of the letter. I can only say 

 that it is delicious and surpasses all my expectations. 



Please not delay in forwarding my order, as I do 

 not want to smoke any other tobacco again, especial- 

 ly the stuff we get here, for three times the price of 

 Vanity Fair. 



For Cigarettes. 



There are times and places tolerant only of the 

 Cigarette; tenderly white and sweetly fragrant. Van- 

 ity Fair is the correct thing for Cigarettes. 



From Assistant Observer IT. 8, Signal Service. 



Having tested thoroughly the Vanity Fair you kind- 

 ly sent me, I have come to the conclusion that it is 

 the best smoking tobacco I have ever tried. I have 

 been in the habit of smoking Perique and Granulated 

 mixed for the last two years, hat greatly prefer your 

 Vanity Fair I have shown the tobacco to several of 

 my friends, and they are very favorably impressed 

 with it. 



I bave had more solid comfort out of your tobacco 

 than I have had for some time. Please accept thanks 

 for your promptness in answering my letter. 



For Meerschaums. 

 Smoking is an elevated mental and psychological 

 pleasure, when one uses that splendid article, Van- 

 ity Fair. Best dealers have it. 



Vanity Fair will he your constant companion by 

 day and night; in merriment and in distress ,.

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 best six guns.

 180, and penetration 30, al though there were 40 more pel- 

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn ail beforehand that our system is our own inven-
