I didn't have any name. Folks were calling me "it" and "the new one" and "whatdya-call-it." I didn't like it a bit. Then one day I heard the Big Chief telephoning all his department heads to meet in his office. Pretty soon they all came filing in. Tall chaps, short chaps, fat chaps and skinny chaps. "Now that he is here," said the Big Chief, "what will you name him?" My! how they wrangled and wrangled and wrangled. You know, you have heard them argue whether He'd be called Jack or John or Jim before. Finally, one fellow spoke up and said : "Why not call him 'SOVEREIGN'? His mother was a Virginian, his father an aristocrat of the Carolinas. He comes from the very best stock. He comes from the very sweetest, ripest, mellowest Vir ginia and Carolina tobacco. He is being raised right in one of the cleanest, whitest, healthiest homes on earth. He is a South erner born, a Southerner bred, a Southern gentleman ? the king of them all? a real SOVEREIGN. The Folks of the South KNOW good blood. The Folks cf the South KNOW good tobacco. SOVEREIGN ? the best ? is none too good a name." So I was named, friend, for I want you as one of my friends, and it means a whole heap when. I say ? ' * I am guaranteed by ^ ?Buy me. If you don't like me return me to your dealer and get your money back. I have said it. A Southern gentleman is known ^ the world over for keeping his word, and I have given you mine.
