To protect and w t h e your skin, Lava contains glycerine.

Lava helps avoid Infection, too. It is effective against bacilli diph-

theria, meningoc~ccus and many other deadly germ&.

PIPE SMOKERS

THIS FLAVOR Men in big railroad yard

show strong preference for Edgeworth Smoking Tobacco

In an important railroad yard of one of .the roads entering Chicago a recent check-up of pipe smokers continued to show that Edgeworth Smoking Tobac- co is a great favorite with railroad men.

In this yard 344 men smoke pipes. Of this total 118 use Edgeworth. The next highest brand was used by only 48 smokers.

The flavor of Edgeworth suits the intelligent smoker. If you like it, you may be sure that i t will never disap point you-and we think that you will like it.

Yes, you can buy cheaper tobacco- but is the small difference in cost worth the 10s of real smoking happiness?

Many railroad men smoke pipes. Many prefer Edgeumth lo all other tobaccos.

Try Edgeworth next time. Ask your dealer. All sizes from 156 pocket pack- age to pound humidor tin. Some sizes ifi-vacuum-packed tins. And remember -the quality and flavor never change. Made and guaranteed by Larw & Bro. Co., Tobacconists since 1877, Rich- mond, Va.
