The man who flips a nickel over the counter for a cigar has no idea of the patience, toil and trials that cigar has cost and he will never know because the cigar manufacturer is a game fighter and has no time to waste in telling his troubles to the public. But we know for over twenty years we have been making cigars and we understood the problem we had to solve. We realized that to make money honestly in the cigar business in this age of advertised brands that the manufacturer has to sweat blood. We have done our share of the sweating and the result is the “WHITE STAG” CIGAR. The tobacco used in building this brand is the finest Vuelta Abajo, the cream of Cuba’s greatest tobacco province, skillfully blended with the best domestic tobacco Uncle Sam’s land affords. Made by skilled workmen and guaranteed to be free smokers, perfect in burn and sweet in taste. In fact just a little bit better than the cigar you have always thought the best. I hat s the reason that to the smoker The WHITE STAG Cigar is a happy thought. in Decatur and sold by every (Jeal fJ n „ trv An Afterthought, Do you believe m patronizing home industry.
