Firemen must have detailed knowledge of the opm- tion of locomotives and the proper use of fuel in order to become engineers. Engineers must be expert in all matters relating tq their engines before they can expect the best runs. Rallroad men in every department must be on the alert every minule of every day in order to do their part in keeping rolling stock repaired and running on schedule time.

Railroaders! Switch to this pipe-tob.

T HERE'S nothing like a pipeful of tobacco for calm, unruffled smoking pleasure. A good briar seems to breed sound, clear thinking. Helps cut down those

nervous, jumpy thoughts that often mean mistakes. And railroaders working under pressure say that Edgeworth is the smoke of smokes for their beloved briars!

These men, snapped in the 67th Street Electric Switch Tower on the Illinois Central Railroad, Chicago, know a lot about switching. And they say that after trying almost every other brand of pipe-tobacco they've settled on Edgeworth-and won't ever switch from it!

Foreman Wasson uses Edgeworth in cigarettes he rolls himself. And if we are to take his word for it, he gets the same full-bodied Burley blend as well in them as in his pipe.

Try a tin of Edgeworth. We'll gladly send you a gener- ous sample-enough for a few glorious smokes. Or you'll find i t on sale everywhere, including Commissary Stores

and camps, railroad depots and sta- tions. Two forms: Edaeworth Readv- - d

Rubbed, all ready for your pipe; and Edgeworth Plug Slice, for those who like to "rub up" a pipe-load a t a time. Both come in various sizes, from handy pocket packages to pound humidor tins.

T T T

Free Offer to Railroad Men If you have never smoked Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed smoking tobacco, let us send you a free trial helping so that you may put it to the pipe-test. Send your name and address to Larus & Brother Company, 27S.ZlstStreet, Richmond, Va.
