April 30, 1928 Larus & Bro. Co. Richmond, Va. 'Dear Sirs: Two years ago last winter I went into the Red Lake gold fields in Canada. It was a tough trail from Hudson, over 140 miles of snow and ice. There were fourteen of us on the trail going in, and frequently at night when seated around a big camp fire, come one would ask me for a pipeful of Edgeworth.dThese Canadian boys sure like our Edgeworth. In four weeks' time I ran out of Edgeworth. I was glad to get 'most any old tobacco. One day, nowever, I dropped in to Dad Brown's tent, a 72-year-old pros- pector, and seeing a can of Edgeworth on an improvised table, back there 150 miles from the "steel," I perked up at once, saying, "Dad, I'm plum out of tobacco-how's chances for a pipe- ful?" "Help yourself," he said. So pulling my heavy duty pipe from my pocket,,I loaded it with Edgeworth, packing it in so tightly that I couldn't get the least bit of a draw. I excused myself for a moment, and stepped outside to remove about three pipefuls to put in my pouch. Dad stepped out, saying, "You're worse than any Scotchman I ever saw." Then I confessed. I told him what happened to my Edgeworth-that I was just dying for a smoke, and he understood right away. He said, "Boy, Edgeworth is mighty scarce in these parts, but I reckon I can spare what's left of that can. Help yourself." You can just bet your last nickel that I guarded this Edgeworth with extreme care until I got back to the "steel." Yours very truly, C. M.
