Driven Home 



This personal, unsolicited letter 

 is from the first purchaser of a 



Sharpies Tubular 

 Cream Separator 



in Kearney County, Nebraska. 

 You could not ask a better one. 



"Minden, Neb., March 1st, 1910. 

 To Farmers: I bought the first Sharpies Tubu- 

 lar No. 4 that was sold in Kearney County, 11 

 years ago. This machine has been in constant use 

 ever since and I believe it is as good as the day I 

 bought it. I have been milking from 6 to 14 cows 

 during these years, until two years ago, when I 

 turned the machine over to my son, who is still 

 using it on the farm. This machine has not cost us 

 one cent for repairs of any kind. It turns easy and 



skims perfectly. 

 It is easy to oil, as 

 you just pour a 

 cup of oil on the 

 •wheels and the 

 wheels run in oil. 

 It is easy to clean, 

 as there are only 

 two pieces to the bowl to wash. It is always in 

 shape, as there is less machinery about it than any 

 other machine. PETER SODERBERG." 



Tubular superiority has driven home to 

 farmers the fact that Tubulars are The World's 

 Best. Sales easily exceed most, if not all, others 

 combined. Tubulars probably replace more 

 common separators than any one maker of such 

 machines sells. World's biggest separator 

 works. Write for Catalogue No. 215

THOMAS MEEHAN & SONS, Inc 

 Box 17, Germantown Philadelphia 



Barnum said the public liked 

 to be humbugged. I never 

 believed it. I've brought a 

 good many businesses to suc- 

 cess on the other basis. The 

 Makaroff Cigaret business is 

 one of them. 



I said eight years ago that the 

 American public was tired of being 

 exploited oncigarets. /was tired of 

 it, and had been for quite a while, 

 and I am just a good average person, 

 with enough human nature in me to 

 be very much like eighty millions of 

 ^P my neighbors. 



I have enough faith in my neighbors, 

 . , y too.tobelievethey aremostly natural- 



^P^ born connoisseurs— once they are 



r given a chance to discriminate. And I've 



proven it. 

 No other people on earth are as keen for the 

 best of everything as the Americans — and no other 

 country has been so consistently given the worst of it 

 on a lot of things. 

 I am a cigaret manufacturer only because I was first 

 a cigaret smoker and I got tired of smoking the stuff that was 

 offered to intelligent smokers in this country. I wanted a 

 cigaret that I could smoke all day if I felt like it, without de- 

 veloping a"craving." or inducing the nervousness or depression 

 that follows the use of ordinary cigarets. I found such cigarets in Russia, where every- 

 body smokes cigarets all the time, and in the other Continental countries, where 

 everybody smokes Russian cigarets. I imported them for a long time, but it was 

 difficult to keep enough on hand to supply myself and my friends — (and my friends 

 multiplied pretty rapidly through these cigarets.) 



I acquired the.knowledge, the right, and the workmen, to duplicate these cigarets 

 in America, and I am duplicating them, absolutely. 



The reason for the difference between these cigarets and others lies mostly in a 

 difference in the manufacturer's point of view. 



I have always believed that if we produced the quality, the pub- 

 lic would produce the sales. And that faith has been justified. 



MAKAROFF RUSSIAN CIGARETS 



are just like Makaroff advertising — good, honest, straightforward stuff. We have now introduced the goods so 

 thoroughly to dealers that you can get them almost anywhere in the best cigar stores, hotels, cafes, dining cars, 

 etc. Any dealer who hasn't got them can get them quickly from his local jobber. If he doesn't want to, we will 

 supply you promptly, by mail, on receipt of the dealer's name and address, or simply his address, so that we may 

 investigate his reason for refusal. 



If you do not like these cigarets at the first trial, remember that they are mighty different from what you are 

 accustomed to, and that the difference is all in your favor. Take time to get a little used to them and you will find 

 out just what we mean. 



Makaroffs are absolutely pure, clean, sweet, mild tobacco, untouched by anything whatever to give them artificial 

 flavor, sweetness, or to make them burn. You will find that you can smoke as many as you want of them without 

 any of the nervousness, depression or "craving" that follows the use of ordinary cigarets. 



Pure tobacco won't hurt you. You may not be used to it, and you may not like the first Makaroff, but you'll like 

 the second one better, and you'll stick to Makaroffs forever if you once give them a fair chance. We have built 

 this business on quality in the goods and intelligence in the smoker — a combination that simply can't lose. We 

 waited quite a while, but it has won in our case and won big. The result is, that 



"This is a Makaroff year — nearly everybody smokes them now" 



Makaroffs are 15 cents and a quarter in boxes of ten. $1.50 to $6.00 for 100's.
