Coker’s Pedigreed 
GOLD DOLLAR 
Coker’s Gold Dollar is perhaps the most widely 
planted variety in the flue-cured belt and has added 
many millions of dollars to the value of the crop, 
which is evidence of its performance and dependa- 
bility. 
Our best recommendation of our 1947 strain of 
Gold Dollar is that it is a pure line selection which 
has all the good Gold Dollar qualities that seventeen 
years of scientific breeding and an expert knowledge 
of tobacco can combine. This variety has been inbred 
for more than a dozen generations in order to main- 
tain and improve its good qualities and to furnish 
our customers with a dependable, uniform and safe 
cigarette tobacco.

types.

lowing with less burning than many other vari-
