f Save Hall Your Cigar money 



We are making a great success of selling 

 direi-t from factory to smoker exclusively, at 

 half retail prices, the best possible cigars- 

 all time tested, tried-out brands ; not one blend 

 but many, to suit every possible taste. We 

 have made a reputation for quality during the 

 years we sold to dealers. Now we are making 

 a reputation for saving in price as well, when 



we sell direct from factory to you. 



The saving in price does not come from out 

 of the cigars — they are better than ever. It 

 comes from saving you the jobbers', th 

 wholesalers' and the retailers' profits 

 — three profits in your pocket. The 

 saving in price is clear to all. You can 

 prove without risk, how we'll please/ 

 you in quality and critically satisfy ( 

 your taste, for if you don't get as good \ 

 a cigar or a better one from us for less 

 money than you pay now — if you are 

 not altogether pleased, you get your 

 money back.

I once had a Marlin shot gun, which, but 

 for 2 faults, would have been a desirable 

 weapon. It overshot, and the extractor 

 was so weak that if the shell swelled at all 

 it remained in the barrel for me to get out 

 as best I could. 



I still have a Marlin rifle that I bought 

 several years ago to take on a deer hunt. 

 When about ready to start, I discovered 

 that the extractor was broken. I wrote 

 the Marlin people for another, saying I 

 would send money on receipt of bill, as I 

 did not know the price. They replied that 

 they did not care to open small accounts, 

 but would send extractor when I sent the 

 money. Having no time nor desire for 

 further correspondence I hung their gun 

 up and bought a Winchester. The Marlin 

 still hangs, awaiting the coming of some 

 one fool enough to buy it. 



Peters' old Victor shell, primed with 

 black power and loaded with King's, was 

 exceedingly unsatisfactory. Sometimes the 

 primer would not explode, and the pene- 

 tration was always poor. Now that they 

 are putting out a better class of goods, they 

 make a mistake in not advertising again in 

 Recreation. It would double the sale of 

 their goods. Subscriber, Topsham, Me.
