SIX MEN SMOKED
FOR SIX MONTHS
And Found a New Pipe Wood in
England
Six men sat in London for six
months smoking pipes made from
strange new woods.
They were in search of a successor
to the traditional ln•nytre, popularly
known as briar. It grew in Algiers.
and, after being conditioned in
France, was shipped to England to
be made into pipes.
When the fortune of war rut off
supplies, some new material had to
be found, so the six smokers of Lon-
don smoked steadily ahead, seeking
the wood which seemed to their ex-
pert tongues to be worthy to take the
place of briar. After trying out
woods from many quarters of the
globe they have found in England
one with all the qualities of briar yet
completely different In appearance.
It is non -porous. It resists !teat, It is
tough and tasteless.
