Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Pipe Tobacco. There is a picture of a contented Santa Claus wearing red long johns and a vest, sitting in a red chair with a puppy in his lap and smoking the pipe that appears in every story or poem about him. He has closed his eyes and is thinking that “Mrs. Claus is a right fine woman…” and the text explains that he feels this way about her because when he returns from lugging his sack full of gifts around the world, she brings to him the “famous blue pack” that is known to contain Edgeworth Pipe Tobacco. The text consists of poetry that encourages all women to buy Edgeworth for their men because it “is tops, from the Pole to the Isthmus”. There is a picture of their blue jar of Ready-Rubbed Pipe Tobacco which, the label says, is “America’s Finest Pipe Tobacco”.
