-Notes of a Planter,
Rolling Tobacco to Market in Old Virginia
It is a far cry from the rolling hogsheads to the modern rail- roads and steamships which today carry Virgina, tobacco into the markets of the world. And science has helped in other ways in the handling of Virginia tobacco.
But science cannot improve the golden sunshine and the rich soil of old Virginia. They give an appetizing freshness and "lively"! flavour which can be found in no other tobacco.
Smoke Virginia tobacco at its best in Old Mill Cigarettes.
