ROY IT Vanity Fair. 



^ Itis shaved from the best Natu- 



ral Leaf, for Meerschaum and Cigarettes. Does not 

 make the tongue sore. Sample on receipt of 20 

 cents. Highest award. Vienna, 1873. Send for cir- 

 cular. WM. S. KIMBALL & CO., 

 Peerless Tobacco Works, Rochester, N. Y. 



From Seth Green, Supt. N. Y. State Fisheries. 



I find Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 

 adapted to the wants of the sportsmun. Have nsed 

 your tobaccos for many yea.s, and know them all to 

 be first-class. 



For Sportsmen. 



A trusty friend, in weariness or trouble; a solid re- 

 source in Winter and rough weather, is a sweet pipe 

 with Vanity Frir. Best dealers have it. 



HENRY W, BALDWIN, Supt 



From A. B , Lamborton, Rochester. 



Having smoked your tobacco, Vanity Fair, by the 

 camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 

 fjagrance and taste superior to all brands known to 

 me. Beirfg in search of a tobacco that would not fire 

 the tongue and mouth, I was made acquainted with 

 your Vanity Fair, and found it to be the ne plus ultra 

 of natural leaf. 



Does not make the tongue Sore. 



Smoke Vanity 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 hag no equaL Best dealers hare it.
