SThe Velvet tin is twice as big as shown here There's a World of Solid Comfort In the Rich,Red Un YES, sir, we mean that same warm red and gold tin that smiles a welcoming “Howdy” to you in every tobacco store. Know what those colors mean? The red is for the friendly warmth, the mellow cheeriness, that Velvet puts into your old pipe. And the gold is where the Kentucky sunshine, that ripens good old Velvet, has just sort of soaked through. Remember what Velvet Joe eaid about it? “You’ve met canned meat and canned music. Ever see any tinned sunshine? Well, look into any Velvet tin. ” And think this over: We don’t have to hide Velvet’s taste or smell with a lot of this, that and the other thing. Because Velvet has naturally what pipe smokers want —real simonpure tobacco taste and fragrance. It s just good, honest Kentucky leaf, made still more friendly and mellow by two years’ ageing in wooden hogsheads Just good tobacco. That’s all. But it’s mighty near enough for the man who wants a pipeful of tobacco and not a box > . . of bonbons. « The picture of a pipe on the tin needn't keep you from rolling a jim-dandy cigarette with Velvet ■■ . 7 How’s the Velvet holding out in your old red tin? * •' * -the friendly tobacco - '« . ■ . ■- ' _ ✓ ' . -
