"8 The British Whig Cigarette and Fund -For Canadians Overseas - | The British Whig hag completed arrangements with the Overseas Club (who already in all parts of the Empire have sent thousands of dollars worth of tobacco and cigarettes to the front) to take advantage of the wonderful organization they have created for supplying tobacco gifts to the soldiers, whereby it will be possible to secure the to- bacco and cigarettes at less than manufacturers' cost from Messrs. Martins Limited, the well known tobacco firm of Piccadilly, London, England, and have the War Office . and Admiralty distribute the tobacco and cigarettes to the men who are fighting for King and country, free of all charges. For every 25 cents, The Whig will send 50 cigarettes and 4 ounces of smoking mixture to some soldier or sailor. For every dol- EVERY CONTRIBUTION TO TOBACCO 13r,'The Whig will send a parcel containing 1 briar pipe, 1 rubber-lined tobacco pouch, 1 tinder lighter, 50 cigarettes and 4 ounces of tobacco. Each of these parcels will con- tain a post-card bearing the name and address of the donor, to enable the soldier or sailor to-acknowledge his gratitude. Our 25 cent parcel, if bought in the ordinary way and mailed by an individual in this country to France, would cost at least $1.50. The Whig is able to offer this big saving by reason of the fact that the tobacco and cigarettes are obtained from the duty free warehouse of Martins Limited, of London, and distributed free of charges by the governments of the Allied Armies by arrange- ment with the Overseas Club. or vm somone 296 Provides a Parcel Like This ~~ The Retun posta THERE ARE NO "BACCY" SHOPS One of the most pleasing features of The ON THE BATTLEFIELD. A Canadian officer, in urging tobacco and cig- arette gifts for the volunteers from the Do- -minion, states that the English '"'Tommies"' receive, as many as 70 to 100 cigarettes per week, in addition to a goodly supply of tobae- co. It is now up to Canadians to look after their own, and they will do it. All they need is some practical means of forwarding these comforts, and The Whig Fund supplies it. Up till now, anyone desirous of forwarding cigarettes or tobacco to the firing line had to pay three qr four times the value of the pack- age in transport and duty charges, and then could never be-sure of the delivery of the parcel. The Whig Fund makes it a simple matter; all that is now required is the name of the regiment you wish to benefit, together with your subscription. All the detail work of shipping, addressing and keeping records is looked after by The Whig, whose arrange- ments with the War Office, Admiralty and Transportation Companies, permit of the free Sutsiage a distribution of Je basen : ifts. is means that instead of paying oct fares Sines ; ie, for TauSueRation 50 Cigarettes. : duty thainthe detual value of the tobacco. a] or cigarettes, the flull Sioust of Jour sub- 4 ounces Smoking Mixture. * scription goes t i e tobacco.
