Now All You Good Fellows, Come Fill Up Your Pipes

F ever men are ‘ Tom 7 ' and ‘oill’ 7 to each other, it 7 s when good pipes are a-^oin^. if ever good pipes go their best, ’tis when Velvet’s in tha bowl. For Velvet is a mighty friendly smoke. Kentucky Burley is the leaf that Nature made for pipes. Wholesome and hearty, honest as the day. And Velvet is that same good Burley leaf, brought to mellow middle ago. For eight long seasons Velvet ‘'meditates 7 ’ m wooden hogsheads, throwing off the rawness of “young” tobacco—truly “ageing in the wood.’’ Out Velvet comes—cool, calm and generous—the tobacco Nature made good, kept good and made better.
Velvet's sweetness is the sweetness of good tobacco, not “put on” like “frosting' 7 on a cake. Its mildness comes from natural ageing, not from having the life baked oat. its fragrance is true tobacco fragrance, not a perfume. And Velvet makes an A Number One cigarette. Roll one. As good old Velvet Joe says: “Fill yo' heart with friendly thoughts, Yo 7 mouth with friendly smoke— An’ let the old world wag.'

Carrying a Ton a Mile for less than a Cent Freight rates have played a very small part in the rising cost of living. Other causes — the waste of war, under-pro-duction, credit inflation — have added dollars to the cost of the necessities of life, while freight charges have added only cents.
The average charge for hauling a ton of freight a mile is less than a cent. A suit of clothing that sold for $30 before the war was carried 2,265 miles by rail from Chicago to Los Angeles for 16/£ cents. ’ Now the freight charge is 22 cents and the suit sells for $50. The cost of the suit h*s increased 20 dollars.
The freight on it has increased only Sj c>‘tvs. Other transportation charges enter into the cost of the finished article—carrying the wool to the mills and the cloth to the tailors but these other charges amount to but a few cents more. The $10 pair of shoes that u;::d to sell for $5 goes from the New Ln ;- land factory to the Florida dealer for a freight charge of 5& cents—only one cent more than the pre-war rate. Beef pays only two-thirds of a cent a pound freight from Chicago to New York. American freight rates are the lowest in the world. c Ihis advertisrmont is published by the tissue iaiwn vf&laUwiy executives T'"' • detirin'f reformation onnrtming 'If rai red situation wny ob:am ititu ilur# htj irrifing to 7/.’« Anon of Kailuay LjtcuUe s, 01 Broadway* A*.?
