" STAR—Good For One—Better for Two
Men Who Chew Are Men Who DO
THE farmers, on whom so much of
America's success depends, are almost
without exception, tobacco chewers. And more
farmers use STAR tobacco than use any other brand.
It speaks pretty well for STAR that men who know tobacco, many of them being
tobacco raisers, prefer mellow STAR Tobacco—in the thick, tasty plug.
Imagine a ripe orange in a thin skin. That's just like a plug of STAR—so full of ripe,
good "chew" that it can't dry out—made clean and kePt that way.
goo
And don't confuse STAR with any of those 14 or 15 ounce
"pound" plugs. Each plug of STAR weighs 16 ounces. Ask the
dealer to let you see the revenue stamp on the box. That will tell
the story of honest weight.
So great is the nation-wide demand for STAR that a
year's output of sixteen ounce STAR plugs is equal in
weight to 416,666 bushels of wheat.
