P RE 

 f CK 



From a Gentleman of St. Paul, Minn. 



A fortunate accident threw in my way some Vanity 

 Fair - I can onlv say that it is the best tobacco that 

 ever I smoked. "To quote the words of the great Sir 

 Isaac Newton, a pipe of it "makes one think like a 

 philosopher and act like a Samaritan. 1 ' I gladly add 

 my testimony of its excellence to that of thousands 

 of other smokers. 



Best in the World. Ask Yonr Dealer. 



You will be conscious of a feeling of good humor, 

 and easy familiarity toward Vanity Fair a sentiment 

 will easily ripen into a warm regard or love for it. 



Smoke Vanity Fair, if you want the brain soothed 

 to meditation and dreams of the better life. 



From J. Seeman, Chattanooga, Tenn. 



Please ship me by express double the amount of 

 last invoice Vanity Fair. I had a little pains to take 

 at first in introducing Vanity Fair, but now those 

 who have used it would not smoke any other tobacco. 



For Sportsmen . 



Vanity Fair calms the brain, caresses the nerves, 

 and as a semi-conscious act furnishes just Kufflcient 

 nucleus for floating thoughts and fancies to crystalize 

 about. Best dealers have it. 



From Forest and Stream, W Y. 



We have received from Messrs. Kimball «ft Co., of 

 Rochester, some choice specimens of their celebrated 

 Vanity Fair tobacco in neat metal cases holding a 

 pound each; and, after most thorough trial, no 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 

 smokers,

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 best six guns.

 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-
