A Royal Gilt for a Man A Box of White Stag Cigars Means as much to a man as a box of the finest candy means to a woman. Nothing could please a man more. There’s keen enjoyment in the rich nutty flavor and fragrant aroma of this choice brand of seed and Havana cigar. The “White Stag” is famous among men who know good cigars. They come in boxes of 12, 25, 50 and 100. They are not expensive. Other cigars not half so good cost just as much. These cigars are the kind every man likes. Buy “HIM” a box of them and see what a merry Xmas he’ll have. For sale by all dealers. FOLEYS ORINOIAXATIYT FOLEYS KIDNEYPULS rOR.STOMACH-TfcOWUJUMhXI~£Ot*®TIP*T«O»'f Foo BaGMACMC KiDMCVSAN» BIAOPEO
