The dust test
The Bright Virginia Leaf of which 555: are made is selected in very small quantities at a time on the actual Tobacco Fields. Only 5 lbs. out of Leaf every 1,000 lbs. of Virginia grown are good enough for $55. We then eliminate 30 ple of every Hogshead of Tobacco in the forth of stalk, sand and dust...
Test this statement for yourself by tapping a 553 in comparison with any other cigarette.
Finally every 555 is each individually made by hand, thus preserving the beautiful mellow flavour for which 555 are famous.

He is a young man of frail habit whe talks Moscow revolutionary principles ineffectively. The House poured upon him a cold stream of ridicule. In one sense, Mr David Kirkwood, the firebrand from the Clyde, made quite a bit. His strong Scottish accent was a great joy, Nothing like it has ever been heard at Westminster; and when he declaimed two verses of Burns, the delight of the House knew no bounds. The mildest of interruptions during the debate roused a storm of Labourist fury, and when Lady Astor, was pluckily re pudiating Labour's claim to be the only party interested in the welfare of the workers the bowls of derision drew a plea from a Glasgow "Red" of "Gie the lassid a chance" Mr. Scrymgeour, as his cus. tom, poured out torrent, of words; but he has been told, in all kindness, "that he might finish his sentences."

On one occasion at the end of session he presented himself to Professor Flaming Jenkin at Edinburgh garbed in his usual unconventional attire, and asked for a certificate. "Sir," said the Professor, locking him over from head to foot, there are cases in which I may be doubtful, but about your case there is certainly no doubt. I have never seen you before." Stevenson secured his certificate none-the-less, and lived to write the Professor's biography.
