THB OUTLOOK FOR THB COMING YBAR.

By John H. Duys, of H. Duys & Co.

I have written to my friends in Europe
to the effect that, in my judgment, not
•nly will tlie output of cigars in the
United States in 1903 be greater than it
was in 1902 but that the coming year
promises to be in every way happier lor
cigar manufacturers than the past one

was.

At the beginning of 1902 there was
IBdoubtedly a feeling of gloom and even
despondency among the cigar manufac-
turers of the United States. This feehng
was induced largely by dread of what the
%reat corporations would do. Many in-
dependent manufacturers, and especially
those engaged in the manufacture of the
cheaper grades of cigars, felt at the be-
ginning of 1902 that their future was im-
perilled. There is no denying that this
feeling of apprehension was shared by
leaf packers and importers whose fortunes

themselves the luxury of a cigar. A most
striking proof of how extraordinarily
prosperous the country has been is the
output of cigars— in round numbers 629,-
000,000— in October of last year. Had
there been no coal strike the output
would have been even larger, for the
coal miners of Pennsylvania are known to
be great smokers of cigars.

The year which opened last Thursday
dawns with no cloud upon its horizon and
in the opinion even of conservative people,
1903 will be even more prosperous for the
United States than was 1902. Among
leaf merchants there is a feeling of great
hopefulness, and among cigar manufac-
ture! s one of security which, as I have
said, was largely lacking at the beginning
of last year. The trade now appreciates,
at something like its true value, its own
strength, and feels that it is able to cope

li\ the Smokiivg Car.

Never did mortal have such a
rancorous voice as the brakeman
who on last Thursday, on the i 40
express from Philadelphia lo New
York, call out the names of the
stations at which the train would
stop next, and his voice was not
only rancorous, the user of it was
guilty of danenable iteration. He
not only said things like "Next
stop, Trenton!" or "Next stop. New
Brunswick" and so on down his
list, but he said each of them three
or four times and seemed to take a
demoniac pleasure in noting how
his victims shuddered with nervous
terror every time they heard him.
That brakeman was surely no lover
of the cigar, else consideration for
the New Year's Day reveries of
every man in the smoker would
have kept him within bounds. How
would you have liked it, if in the
midst of your favorite brand, on |
some such an ideal day as last j
Thursday was, your enjoyment of
your cigar were ruined by a hoarse
voiced brakeman who insisted upon
telling you things you were not in
the least interested to know? That
brakeman, to every man in that
smoker was a far greater nuisance
than was to the King and his guests
at dinner that functionary whose
duty it was to ejaculate after every
course "Remember that to morrow
you die," because the' King and
his guest were prepared to hear it —
it was part of the menu, like an
answer to a toast, but that brake
man and his croak were both so
superfluous!

Yet, notwithstanding him and his
voice and the uninteresting infor
mation it imparted at those hateful
intervals whom he broke in upon
the meditations of the smokers, did
not exasperate a single one of thera
to the point of throwing away his
cigar. On the contrary each man
puffed with the greater vigor as if
to blot out the too obtrusive brake
man behind clouds of smoke.

As Mr. Ochs Views it.

The revolt of the retail tobacco
nists of Chicago, New York and
elsewhere, has evoked the following
editorial utterance on "The Retail
Tobacco War ' from the N .Y. Times:
"On the 13th of January a con
vention of independent cigar dealers
from all parts of the country will
be held in Chicago to discuss ways
and means of fighting the so called
Tobacco Trust. ' Curiously the first
i step proposed to be taken is that
i the independent dealers shall sacri-
} fice their independence by becoming
I members of a National Association
j with headquarters in Chicago, which
i shall have certain delegated powers
deemed essential to efficiency in the
conduct of the campaign The
next step proposed is to make a
close alliance with trusts more arbi
trary and tyrannical and less intel
ligently directed than that opposed
— the Cigarmakers' and Tobacco
Workers' Unions — with a view to
involving the associated dealers of
the so called trust in an endless and
destructive conflict with labor
through strikes and boycotts. The
third step is an appeal to the public
on sentimental grounds, to trade
with the independent dealers and
refuse to trade with those identified
with the consolidation.

"It is difficult to resist the con-
clusion that if the position of the
independent dealers needs to be de
fended by such means it represents
a cause already lost. There is no
possible objection to organization,
and much good may come from it.
There are many and grave objec-
tions to employing organized labor
as the British commanders in our
War for Independence employed
mercenary Indians to introduce bar

"As to the general public, the

retail dealers is likely to be regarded

in a very impartial and cold-blooded

way. The store which gives the

best value for the monev it takes in

over the counter is likely sooner

or later to gain a practical monopoly

I of the trade of a neighborhood. It

\ is doubtful if on cheap and inferior

forms of manufactured tobacco —

j Pennsylvania cigars, for example —

the competition of the independent

I dealer with the retail store of the

I trust can be profitably maintained.

I We fancy, however, that a store

which earns the reputation of sell-

I ing good cigars at fair prices and of

I treating its customers fairly will not

I have to put up its shutters soon or

I ever in consequence of the retail

I competition of the trust."

I Consolid«k.ted Dividends

The dire<tors of the Consolidated To-
bacco Company met on Dec. 31 and de-
clared a cash dividend of 20 per cent, on
the c.ipital stock of f 30,000,000. This is
the first dividend declared by the com-
pany, which has now been in operation
about eighteen months. The dividend

! does not cover any special periods.

The directors also authorized the issue
of > 1 0,000, 000 of new stock, which in-
crease was voted on by the stockholders
at a special meeting in Jersey City on
Dec. 29. The certificate of increase from
$30,000,000 to $40,000,000 was filed at
Trenton on Dec. 31. after some delay
caused by a failure to state the number of
shares held by consenting stockholders.
The new stock, under the laws of New
Jersey, will be apportioned among the
present stockholders, who will have the
right to subscribe for it at the rate of 33 y^
per cent of their present holdings. The
original stock is closely held, and it is
stated that there will be no public offer-
ing of the new stock, the proceeds of
which will be put in the treasury for use
in the regular course of business.

«Aunt Tabithy.* said I. and 1 gave
two or three violent, consecutive puffs,
'Aunt Tabithy. I can make up such a
series of reflections out of my cigar, as
would do your heart good to listen to!'

•About what, pray?' said my aunt
contemptuously.

" 'About love.' said I, 'which is easy
enough lighted, but wants constancy to
keep it in a glow; or about matrimony, ,
which has a great deal of fire in the !
beginoing, bnt it is a fire that con-
sumes all that feeds the blaze; or about
life,' continued I earnestly. '\*hich at the
first is fresh and odorous, but ends shortly
in a withered cinder, that is tU only for
the ground. '

My aunt, who was forty and un-
married, finished her curl with a flip of
the fingers, resumed her hold of the
broom, and leaned her chin upon one
end of it, with an expression of some
wonder, some curiosity, and a great deal
of expectation.

1 could have wished my aunt had
been a little less curious, or that 1 had
been a little less communicative; for
though it was all honestly said on my
part, yet my contemplations bore that
vague, shadowy, and delicious sweetness,
that it seemed impossible to put them
into words— least of all, at the bidding of
an old lady, leaning on a broom handle.
'Give me time, Aunt Tabithy,' said
I, 'a good dinner, and after it a good ci-
gar, and I will serve you such a sun-
shiny sheet of reverie, all twisted out of

Ik Marvel Over His Ciga^r

Hartford, Conn., Jan. 4; 1903.
Dear Medicine Man :

give me, as I have not the book, the in.
troductory paragraphs out of Ik Marvel's

Reveriesof A Bachelor which are called, , • . , .

I think. "A Cigar Three Times Lighted." 1 the smoke, as will make your kmd old

S. L. C.

ANSWER.

Following are the paragraphs for which
ray correspondent asks:

I do not believe that there was ever
an Aunt Tabithy who could abide cigars.
My Aunt Tabithy hated them with a
peculiar hatred. She was not only in-
sensible to the rich flavor of a fresh roll-
ing volume of smoke, but she could not
as much as tolerate the sight of the rich
russet color of an Havana-labelled box.
It put her out of all conceit with Guava
jelly, to find it advertised in the same
tongue, and with the same Cuban coarse-
ness of design.

She could see no good in a cigar.

•But, by your leave, my aunt,' said
I to her the other morning— 'there is
very much that is good in a cigar.*

My aunt, who was sweeping, tossed
her head, and with it, her curls — done up

in papers.

•It is a very excellent matter,' con-
tinued I, puffing.

• It is dirty,' said my aunt

• It is clean and sweet,' said I; "and
a most pleasant soother of disturbed feel-
ings; and a capiul companion; and a
comforter' — and I stopped to puff.

•You know it is a filthy abomina-
tion,' said my aunt, — 'and you ought to
be—,' and she stopped to put up one of
her curls, which, with the energy of her
gesticulation, had fallen out of its place.

• It suggests quiet thoughts' con-
tinued I, 'and makes a man meditative;
and gives a current to his habits of con
templation, as I can show you, ' said I,
warming with the theme.

My aunt, still fingering her papers,
with the pin in her mouth, gave a most
incredulous shrug.

heart ache !'

Aunt Tabithy, in utter contempt,
either of my mention of the dinner, or of
the smoke, or of the old heart, commenced
sweeping furiously.

•If I do not,' continued I, anxious to
appease her — 'if I do not, Aunt Tabithy, it
shallbemy last cigar; (Aunt Tabithy stop-
ped sweeping) and all my tobacco money
(Aunt Tabithy drew near me) shall go to
buy ribbons for my most respectable,
and worthy Aunt Tabithy; and a kinder
person could not have them; or one,'
continued I, with a generous puff, whom
they would more adorn. '

My Aunt Tabithy gave me a half
playful— half thankful nudge.

It was in this way that our bargain
was struck ; my part of it is already stated.
On her part, Aunt Tabithy was to allow
me, in case of my success, an evening
cigar unmolested, upon the front porch,
underneath her favorite rose tree. It was
concluded. I say, as 1 sat; the smoke of
my cigar rising gracefully around my
Aunt Tabithy's curls— our right hands
joined; my left was holding my cigar,
while in hers, was tightly grasped — her
broom stick.'

can and Continental Tobacco Companies,
Mr. Duke answered:

"I really cannot say. We never ask
a man his politics, his religion or whether
he belongs to a labor union."
••Do you discourage unions?"
••We neither discourage nor encour-
age them. We do not permit outsiders
to dictate as to how we shall conduct our
business. 1 remember that once Mr.
Gompers came to us and asked us to in-
duce our men to join the union, but we
could not see why we should urge our
people who had been working for us
faithfully for fifteen or twenty years to
join a union any more than we should
ask them to join a church."
"Do you favor unions?"
"We don't bother ourselves about
unions. We don't want walking dele-
gates coming into our factories, and we
would not allow them to run our business
any more than we would turn it over to
a church organization. If the men want
to organize for their own benefit they are
perfectly at liberty to do so."

"Returning to the question of union
labor. Commissioner Farquhar said that
a witness who appeared before the Com-
mission some time ago testified that the
American and Continental Tobacco Com-
panies would not permit their men to
organize.

"I will tell you about that," responded
Mr. Duke, with considerable spirit. "The
members of these so-called independent
concerns try to make capital out of the
fact that they use union labels. They
adopt brands calculated to please labor-
ing men, and then they try to work up
sentiment by having their men organize.
We sell our goods on quality solely, and
mix no sentiment whatever with our
business. Our sole purpose is to get
hold of the consumer. When we can in-
duce him to ask for our brands, we build
up our business, and all the jobbers on
earth could not do this for us unless we
could please the consumer with our pro-
ducts. "

month in 1902. "Old-Boston- Light"
said it looked to him as if old times
would come back again in 1903, and
added that his own books for the closing
year indicated that the cigar manufac-
turers of New Kngland were in better
shape than they had ever been in, (hav-
ing said which he cheerfully paid for a
round).

Big Chief Leap-For-Life said that to
him the outlook for 1903 was as pleasant .
a picture as the one he got from Paris
upon which is engraved the grand prize
award he got at the exposition of 1900
for his exhibits of Wisconsin, Ohio and
Connecticut leaf. (This round was on
him).

Old-Chesty-But- Not Too-Chesty said
that so far as he was concerned he felt
that the future was as secure as if it were
packed in one of his own patented Su-
matra covers. (There every body took a
Wurzburger in honor of Old Chesty's
nationality).

Big Chief Sawed-Off-Giant said it was
plainer then ever how good God meant
to be to the Havana importers. (This
remark cost him a round of Pommery).
Big Chief Old-Tallness wanted to toast
the Connecticut Tobacco Corporation
but he was told that if he wanted to ad-
vertise the new shade-grown Connecticut
Sumatra he'd have to do it m the regular
way in the trade papers.) To square
himself with the other chieftains he also
bought a round of Pommery.

»»»»♦«
All the chieftains above mentioned de-
sire to have it distinctly understood that
each of them was at home with his family
by 6. 30 o'clock on New Year's eve. and
I personally know that every one of them
was at his office bright and early on the
morning of January 2.

Mr. Schierenbcck says it was the jol-
liest New Year's eve party that ever
gathered round his tables. John W.
Merriam, who popped in for a minute
on his way home says the same thing.

Mr. Duke and Organised Labor.

Chicago. Jan. 5, 1903.

Dear Medicine Man.

What was Mr. James B. Duke's testi-
mony before the Industrial Commission
of Congress in Washington in May, 1901.
as to the attitude of the corporations of
which he is the president towards organ-
ized labor? Jobber.

ANSWER..

I quote from The Tobacco World' s re-
port of Mr. Duke's testimony.

Being asked whether union men were
employed in the factories of the Ameri-

The Six NsLtions at ScKierenbeck**.

The annual New Years eve gathering
of that coterie of leaf merchants who col-
lectively are known as the Six Nations
took place this year, as usual, at Schieren-
beck's famous "caffay," at the corner
of Maiden Lane and Water street. New
York, next door to the Roycroft Segar
Shop. Among the chieftains present
were Feidinard Cranz, whose Indian
name is Chesty-But - Not-Too- Chesty.
Ludwig Schmid (Old Tallness), Joseph
F.Cullman (Leap-For- Fife-Man), Charles
Fox (Sawed Off-Giant), Fritz Jacoby(Old.
Boston- Light), and many other civilized
and wild Indians of fame and reputation
and — capacity. 1 was the only red man
who wasn' t there. I was in Philadel-
phia helping the mummers parade.
Nevertheless, seeing that 1 am clairvoy-
ant, like all properly trained medicine
men, I know just what happened at
Schierenbeck's on New Years eve, and
I could tell you every single detail of it
I am too discreet to go to such lengths,
however, and so I will narrate only what
I think will do you good to know. In
the first place everybody was feeling first
rate, and was free to say that he had had
a very prosperous and satisfactory twelve-

John Fiske's Tribute to Toba.cco.

In answer to T. CD., I give the tri-
bute paid to tobacco by the late John
Fiske. the well known historim:

"Of all the gifts that America has
vouchsafed to the Old World, the most
widely acceptable has been that which the
punster might have called the baccic gift
No other possible and tangible product
of Columbus's discovery has been so un-
iversally diffused among all kinds and
conditions of men even to the remotest
nooks and corners of the habitable earth.
Its certain and blessed charm is every-
where proof irresistible, although from
the outside its use has been frowned upon
with an acerbity such as no other affair
of hygiene has even called forth. "

Havana, Dec. 27.

While toward tlie end of the year
the Havana market, as a rule, is
very quiet and no transactions of
any magnitude are reported ; the
week ending December 27 has
formed an exception, and 5300 bales
constitute the business done during
the five working days. Of the above
total, 2400 l)aies were Remedios;
2200 Vuelta Abajo, and 700 Par-
tido, the last mentioned principally
heavy fillers. United States buyers
took the lead again by purchasing
3000 bales ; Europe is credited with
1800, and 5CX) bales were taken for
home consumption by the Havana
Cigar manufacturers. Prices are
very firm and holders are hopeful
of seeing an advancing tendency
materialize during the coming
month of January by obtaining
higher figures, especially for Reme-
dios, as prices for Vuelta Abajo
have already reached a point that
is almost prohibitive to manufac-
turers.

The weather is ideal ; replanting
is still going on in the Vuelta Aba-
jo and i'artido districts, while the
cutting of the small saved portions
of temprano plants is progressing.
From the Remedios region heavy
rainstorms are reported to have
caused some damage in certain por-
tions. Don Luis Marx, in Alquizar,
and Don Adolfo Moeller, in La
Guira, have harvested a very fine
crop under their cheese-cloth cover-
ing, sound in every respect, large
in leaf and fine in texture, while the
colors will come out evenly in the
sweat, as no spots are discernible
that could produce "manchas,"
green or otherwise. Both are said
to have replowed some portions of
their land and replanted new seed-
lings, in order to grow another
wrapper crop, a plan which has been
tried before, giving excellent re-
sults, as long as the ground has had
enough manure. The raising of
tobacco is apparently reaching a
new stage in this Island, at least a
few of our enterprising capitalists
are studying all the latest discover-
ies, as regards manure, growing
tobacco under cover, and by taking
advantage of the climate and sea-
sons are expecting to raise two
wrapper crops in a year, thus using
the method of intense culture or
getting everything out of the
ground that it will i)ossibly yield.
The small farmers arc debarred
from following the example set by
the capitalists, and either must plod
along in the old accustomed way or
otherwise devote their land to the
raising of other crops. Cano y
Hermano have cut some 4000 ma-
tules on their plantations in the tum-

badero district. "El Brillante" and
"El Hrichi." Don Cayetano Perez
has also been cutting on his farm,
"Ritilla." since the 15th inst. In
the \^ielta Abajo several small
quantities have been harvested, al-
though cutting may not become
general until the latter half of Janu-
ary.

ARRIVALS IN HAVANA.

Don Gustavo Bock returned from
his trip to England and the Utiited
States on December 22, looking hale
and hearty. He refuses to commit
himself about the future policy of
the Henry Clay and Bock & Co.
S. H. Friedlander, of Adolfo Moel-

HAVANA CIG.\R MANUFAC-
TURERS.
Very little news is to be had as
regards the movement of the inde-
pendent cigar manufacturers. Near-
ly all factories have enough orders
on hand to allow them to work with
full steam ahead, although the ci-
garmakers at this season of the year
took their annual Christmas holi-
days by stopping work on Wednes-
day evening and will not start up
again until December 29.

HAVANA LEAF DEALERS.

Antonio Hernandez Rivero sold
1000 bales of his fine Vuelta Abajo
holdings.

Sobrinos de Antero Gonzales
state that they purchased nearly
2000 bales of low grades for the

supply of botes of Remedios has
been exhausted. They also dis-

The announcement in The Tobacco

for the shade grown Sumatra grown at

Real ChriatmaLB in Chic«Lgo.

The retail clerks of Chicago had last
Thursday the first real Christmas holi-
day they have ever enjoyed in the his-
tory of the city's trade. Every retail
store of any consequence, with the ex-
ception of the drug stores, was closed all
day long. In past years it was the cus-
tom of stores doing business outside of
the down-town district to keep open on
Christmas until 1 o'clock in the after-
noon. It was through the efforts of the
new Retail Clerks' Protective Association
that an entire day off was this year ob-
tained.

Company.

Upon the purchase of the York Match
Company by the Diamond Match Com-
pany, some years ago he was appointed
its superintendent, and afterwards was
superintendent of the Wilmington, Del,
and Oswego, N. Y., plants. He was
closely identified with various business
enterprises of York and was a member
of the Lafayette Club, of York, and the
Union League, of Philadelphia.

GENERAL NOTES.

"Calamus' ' was the name of the Indian
pipe of peace.

William Early has started a cigar fac-
tory at West Alexandra, O.

Th* first cigar factory was established
in Hamburg in the year 1796.

The Indians used tobacco at
sacrificial offering ceremonies.

M. A. Price has sold his interest in
the Columbian Cigar Company, at Ben-
ton Harbor, Mich., to his partner, Wm.
J. Harper.

In the United States the average con-
sumption of tobacco per inhabitant is
4. 5 pounds.

L. W. Secrist, of Wellington, O., has
sold his cigar and tobacco business to I.
L. Chapman.

The people of Holland, it is computed,
use more tobacco than the people of any
other country.

In Holland tobacco is cheaper than
bread. The tobacco used in Holland is
unusually mild, hence, so much is used.

Independent cigar dealers of the
country will meet in Chicago, January 13,
to devise means to combat the so-called
tobacco "trust."

The Economista Mexicano newspaper
estimates this season's tobacco crop in
Mexico at 22,ocx>,ooo pounds. It says
that the greater part of the crop is al-
ready sold in the United States for de-
livery^as gathered.

Phila. Holiday Aftermath.

Buainesa Changes Rather Plentl-

ful--Buslness Reported Good

— Trade Items.

The new year has opened auspiciously
for the cigar manufacturers and retailers
of Philadelphia as was predicted weeks
ago. The leaf dealers, too, are coming
in for a satisfactory amount of good busi-
ness and all hands are wearing smiling
faces and enjoying good tempers. The
weather has favored the cigar business.
Changeable and cold weather tempts men
to seek the solace of a good cigar — and
one leads to another. The retailers are
giving better attention to window decor-
ating, neat appearance of interiors, etc.,
and as a consequence sell more stock.
As one dealer put it, "While the goose
could hang higher, it's hanging high
enough. It wouldn't do, you know, lo
have the dear bird go out of sight"

A JUBILANT PR(3CESSION.
Business changes have been a little
more numerous this year, it is said, than
in former years. There have been quite
a number of new cigar stores opened as
well as the new factory, the I-a Havencia.
Philadelphia is growing rapidly, es-
pecially in a western direction, and of
course increase of population demands
increase of cigar stores, cigars and to-
bacco. And no one want to halt the
jubilant procession.

THE NEW LA" HAVENCIA CIGAR.
J. A Seubert, a newcomer to Philadel-
phia, has opened the La Havencia cigar
factory at No. 50 North Third street
Mr. Seubert is lately from Syracuse, N.Y.,
where for years he was in the cigar manu-
facturing business with his father. The
new factory occupies the second and third
floors of the large building on North
Third street, and starts off with 50 busy
employes. This force will be gradually
increased as business warrants. Mr.
Seubert said to the Tobacco World re-
porter: "I will manufacture a general
line of cigars and also a line of clear
Havanas. My loc brands will be La
Havencia and General ChafTee; in 5c
brands, the Hurdle and Curia. Mycle.ir
Havana cigar is the Flor de Seubert
Associated with me as superintendent of
the factory is George Cleeland, formerly
with Frank Teller & Co."

CIGAR, TIP CUTTER,
MATCHES. ETC.
Wm. Diebel, of 327 North Eighth
street, inventor of the Diebel vending
machine described in h recent issue of
the World, has added a most convenient
improvement to the machine. It con-
sists of an automatic match-delivering
device. As soon as a cigar comes out
after a sound nickel has been put in the
slot, just above it come also a safety
match, whii h the customer takes and
strikes on a match-striking surface be-

neath. Alongside the vending machine
is one of the Diebel cigar tip cutters —
than which there are few if none better —
as well as a hanging bowl for waste
match ends, etc. All in all the vending
machine is the most complete of any
ever invented and Mr. Diebel has orders
on hands for them that will keep him
busy for months.

THE RETAILERS' ASSOCIATION.

Officers of the Retailers' Protective
Association are busy inducing new mem-
bers to join the association and they are
meeting with success. Now that the
holidays are over the retailers can attend
meetings without neglecting business and
will probably do so. As already noted
the next meeting of the Association will
be held at Odd Fellows' Temple, Wednes-
day evening, January 14.

MOVING IN AND OUT.

S. Greenwald, who has conducted a
cigar store for many years at Second and
Market streets, witl remove to 141 .Mar-
ket, January 15th, W. B. Moore, of
Eleventh and Filbert streets, will open a
branch cigar store as soon as the premises
are vacated by Mr. Greenwald, The
rumor that one or the other stores was to
be opened by the trust was unfounded.

ANOTHER MOVE.

George O' Keefe has opened his new
cigar store at 14 South Fourth street, and
is pushing his popular EI Rio 5-cent
leader.

ANOTHER NEW STORE.

E. M. Cook has opened a neat cigar
store at 5205 Market street, and is giving
satisfaction to many West Philadelphia
tobacco and cigar consumers.

A NEW PLUG.

J. S. Geller, Sons & Co. will shortly
put a new plug tobacco on the market
under the brand of Federation Chew,

Isadore Ausspung, the pipe manu-
facturer, is now comfortably located in

The American Tobacco Company, ac-
cording to persistent rumor, will estab-
lish in Chicago the largest cigar factory
in the West.

Always a cut-rate center in the cigar
trade, the Chicago market has been
simply chaotic during 1902. With the j
establishment of thirty letail houses by j
the United Cigir Stores Company a war'
commenced with the independent re-
Uilers. resulting in reductions varying
from 15 to 50 per cent on popular
brands. The fight is still raging.
Through its control of 90 per cent of the
plug and smoking tobacco trade, the
trust maintained reasonably steady prices
in these commodities, though the recent
entrance of several independent manu- 1
facturers into the field threatens a fresh
struggle. Owing to increased cost of
labor and material, the removal last July
of the 3.6-cent tax on tobacco resulted
in np corresponding decrease in prices.
Raw matetial has risen greatly. Cheap
tobacco which sold at 4 to 6 cents four
years ago is now from 12 to 16. The
average increase in value is 10 to 25 per
cent. The increase in cigar sales is es
timatcd at 25. plug and smoking tobacco
15, and cigarettes 10 per cent Owing
to cut prices, the amount represented by
these sales was not over $32,000,000.
Labor troubles in Havana reduced sales'
of Cuban goods, but the demand every,
where has been for better quahties than
ever before.

H. L. Mites, 380 South Halsted street
has been held to the grand jury by Jus-
tice Richardson on a charge of using
counterfeit labels of the Cigarmakers'
Union. The bond was fixed at $500.

The local members of the Cigar
Dealers' association will appeal to the
congressmen and senators of the middle
west to oppose the use of coupons and
tags as applied to tobaccos. If they
succeed they will shut off one of the
most advantageous advertising mediums
the trust has at its disposal.

The independents also seek to see that
a part of the $50,000 set aside for the
investigation of trusts be applied to the
tobacco combine. It is believed that
grounds for prosecution under the Sher-
man anti-trust law can be established.

President George W. Perkins of the
Cigarmakers' International Union will
leave for York, Pa., Saturday to prose-
cute several counterfeit label cases. He
will be absent a week.

A good-bye party was given in honor
of Sam H. Harris, of the Khedival Co.,
who leaves Chicago to go to New York
to take charge of the new plant which
the company is to establish there. Many
of the people connected with the tobacco
trade sat down to supper with Mr. Harris
and wished him success in his new field
of usefulness.

John Dolan, the cigar dealer, has had
the body of his famous cigar smoking
dog "Cap Dolan," stuffed and it will oc-
cupy a conspicious position in his store.

LIBERMAN'S LATEST SUCTION IVlACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the Amplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling theoper

ator to roll with the fuM palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse^
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others nut mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

The Alluring ol Young Savage,
of the S«LV«Lge Club.

That famous Bohemian organization
known as the Savage Cluh celebrated its
forty-fifth anniversary at London the other
evening, the invitation to the dinner be-
ing ornamented by an exceedingly grace-
ful figure of a female Savage announcing
what is the first duty of the chairman to
do after the cloth is removed— the fact
that the gentlemen may smoke.

The Savage Club is the best known of
what may be termed the Bohemian literary
clubs of London. It makes no preten-
sion to be placed in juxtaposition with
such clubs as the Athenaeum or other
aristocratic literary associations. Its

The Savage Club's Invitation Card.

origin and progress are peculiar. In
1855 a number of literary men, journa-
lists and artists agreed to found a maga-
zine, which was to be published on what
may be termed confederate principles.
The artists were mainly draughtsmen en-
gaged in drawing for the now almost ex-
tinct art of engraving on wood, the photo-
graphic reproductions now universal,
and known as process blocks, being then
utterly unknown,

The venture was termed The Train, a
first-class magazine. The meetings of
the little band were held in the parlor of
a public-house, and were consequently
subject to the interruption of persons not
connected with the venture. This was
inconvenient, and it was proposed that
they should constitute a club and take a

private room in some licensed house. A
nam* was required, and in jest Robert
Brough proposed the name of "The
Sivage Club." which had no reference
whatever to the members behaving like
savages, or to the literary Bohemian
Richard Savage, who died in the previous
century. The members met in their own
room and dined together every Saturday,
their fare consisting of a joint, their
beverage being the then universal drink
of beer, their table being ornamented
after dinner with long clay pipes, and
the now almcst extinct "penny in the
slot" brass tobacco boxes. The char-
acter of the coterie induced very many
persons to endeavor to gain access to the
club and to become members. This
position at that time was a most difficult
object to attain; no one could get elected
who was not known to a considerable
number of the members, and it was said
that it was as difficult to get into the Sav-
age Club as into the Athenaeum.

PKilaLdelphiaL Leaf MaLfket.

The chief demand during the past
week has been for Wisconsin leaf of the
1900 or 1 90 1 crop. Where clean lots
were offered they were immediately
picked up. Sales made amounted to
about soo cases. There was a fair de-
mand for Zimmer and several fair sales
are reported. The same can be said of
Connecticut leaf. There were quite a
number of offerings of Pennsylvania
Broadleaf crop of 1900, and several sales
were made. In Sumatra and Havana
orders were mostly for pound lots; no
large deals reported.

The St. Petersburg Herald speaks of
the great progress which has of late been

native leaf to the tobacco working fac-
tories of St. Petersburg, the Crimea and
of some other districts.

CUSTOMS CONTRACT ANNULLED.

Owing to the complaints of im-
porters and upon the recommenda-
tion of the Collector of Customs
at Xew York the contract for the
hauling of customs goods from the
docks to the public stores, now held
by Mr. Kehon. has l)een annulled.

It is asserted that the .service is
inefficient, and that the price paid
under the present arrangement is
too low to insure g<io<l service. Mr.
Kehon has given his consent to the
annulment of the contract, and as
soon as possible the department will
adverti.se for new proposals.

THE TURKISH CROP.

The British Consul at I^atakia
furnishes the following report on
available supply of Latakia tobacco:

"It is now ascertained that the
quantity of this year's Abou-Riha
tobacco crop will attain 500 tons, to
be entirely exported to (^ireat Brit-
ain, where a great demand still pre-
vails. Owing to this and to com-
petition among some native mer-

chants and the agent of a British
company, the prices are this year
thrice as high as those of last. Tak-
ing advantage of this situation, the
merchants have been obliged to ac-
cept inferior qualities of tobacco.
There is of this more than I4CX>
bales, which have been recently
shipped for London and LiverjKX)!.
It is expected that the next ship-
ments will be of good quality. The
competition between the native mer-
chants and the agent of the British
company was due to the local mer-
chants having entered into combina-
tion for the purpose of buying the
whole crop. On the other hand, the
agent is said to have had express or-
ders to purchase from the growers^
who were very glad to sell all their
tobacco to him owing to his oflfering'
higher prices. But the growers were
led to fear that in that event the
hx^al merchants would give them no
advances in the future. The grow-
ers have hitherto accepted money
advances at the rate of 25 per cent,
interest, and have sold their tobacco
at a price fixed by their creditors.
Last year they sold their crop at a
price equal to 6d. per pound to a
few merchants, who obtained price*
between 2s. and 3s |>er pound at
London and Liverpool. This year
prices being far more reinunerative,
the growers have greatly increased

thier cultivation of tobacco ; some
8000 doonoums — about 1980 acres
— are already cultivated. During the
preceding five years no more than
2500 doonoums were under cultiva-
tion.

Collector F. W. Cranstons annu \\ re-
port shows a big gain in revenue in the
tax of cigars, which was 5365.996.61 in
1902. This indicates that the cigar out-
put for this district has leached almost
1 22, 000, 000. or a gain of more than 25.-
000,000 over the previous ye.ir. The in-
dustry has had an exception;illy heavy
year, all the large factories have incre ised
their force of employes, new factories
have been opened, not only in the city,
but in the county, and the trade has been
brisk. Stamp Collector James L. Trexler
stated yesterday that business for the
coming year will probably show a still
greater advance. Yocum Bros, will
operate the largest plant in the distict,
having completed an annex, which will
enable them to almost double their out

The cigar store of Edwin
inger was visited for the second time in
«ix months recently by thieves. When
Mr. Readinger opened the store he found
everything in general disorder. The
money drawer was forced open and $1. 50
taken, together with about fifty cents'
worth of chewing gum from a slot ma-
chine. Numerous other articles were

missing.

Miss Margaret Hiedel is engaged in
one of the most novel enterprises for her
sex in Reading— that of manufacturing
butts for chewing and smoking purposes.
There are quite a few wom;n engaged in
cigar manufacturing here but this is the
first young woman to venture in the ci-
gar butt business. Miss Hiedel has
styled her place of business the Hiedel
Tobacco Co. She started in business
about a month ago and her success thus
far has been gratifying. She has already
placed two new brands on the market,
the Daisy Butts and the Daisy Stuff.

which are meeting with great suc< ess.
She has engaged the services of Matthew
Nawa to Icok after the local trade. Miss
Hiedel worked one year for Breneiser &
Sons, three years for the Taylor Bro.,
and five years for (ieorge W. Green and
has had plenty of experience.

The cigar manufacturing industry of
this district was practically at a standstill
this week, owing to the annual inventory
being taken. A leading dealer siid:
"The cigar industry all over this country
has enjoyed during 1901 an exceptional
year in volume and satisfactory trade
conditions. 1902 has been a gteat im-
provement over the previous year. From
present indications 1903 promises to
eclipse them all. There is a greater de-
mand for high-class goods and, while
p irt of this demand is due to the general
prosperity of the country, it is also true
I that the smoker is becoming more desir-
j ous of securing better value for his money

! advertised brands in which quality is
i sacrificed to pay for advertising. All of
the factories here have enjoxed an in-

RECENT LANCASTER SALES.

The Past Year a Satisfactory One to
Leaf Men -Trade Notes.

Lancaster, Pa.. Jan. 3, 03.— The
year just closetl has been a most sat-
isfactory one to the leaf dealers and
cigar manufacturers in this section,
some even venture to say that it has
been the banner year in their busi-
ness career. Considering the enoi^m-
ous output of cigars and the im-
mense quantities of raw leaf that
has been used in their manufacture,
in this Ninth district alone, it is very
evident that the Trust has not driv-
en any of our manufacturers or deal-
ers out of business ; on the contrary, •■
reports come from all sections that
the manufacturers have sufficient
orders on hand to keep them busy
running full-handed fc^r some tiiuc
to come, and they will all be doing
business, "at the same old stand,"
in many instances with increased fa-

/cilities.

The great output of cigars during
the year in all sections, called for an
unusual amount of raw leaf, and as
the 1900 is now well used up, the
manufacturers will be compelled to
fall back on the 1901 crop, which is
yet very largely in the pac'kers'
hands.

There is much dissatisfaction on
the part of some of the packers and
dealers, who have received deliver-
ies of the U)02 crop, they having
paid high prices, and the crop con-
taining considerable pole burn and
frozen tobaccos. They are anything
but jubilant or elated over their pur-
chases thus far received, and not
verv sanguine of the outcoiue.

Ruving of what yet remains un-
sold of the crop continues, though
the country roads are in bad condi-
tion for making much headway.

We give some recent sales, made
in various parts of the country :
Joseph K. Shultz, large crop of

seedleaf at 9^ cents through.

The American Tobacco Company

and M. M, Fry were the principal

purchasers of the above seedleaf.
Andrew Garber, one of the best

known farmers and tobacco packers,

as he was one of the wealthiest, in

Northern Lancaster County, died
• very suddenly and unexpectedly at

8 o'clock on Monday evening, from

heart trouble, at his home, near
Moimtville. He had only returned

home a short time before from a
visit to Columbia, when he went to
his bedro^mi. intending to retire
early. Upstairs he was attacked
with severe pains at the heart, so he
came downstairs again, and a sec-
on<l attack coming on he called his
wife. She assisted him to a seat in
a rocking chair, where he expired in
a few minutes from heart trouble.

The Inland City Cigar Box Com-
pany have rounded out their fi^st
year in business, and are more than
pleased with the resuU. They have
an abundance of orders on hand,
and will only close down long

i enough to make general repairs and
cleaning luachinery.

B. F. Newswanger says he has
had a marked increase in the de-
mand for his "Senator Quay" 5c.
cigar over 1901. and contemplates
enlarging his cai)acity in the near
future.

l^Voiu the flattering testimonials he
has received from retailers and job-
bers, as to the merits of the cigar,
he is convinced that it is quality
and not premiums that aid in the in-
creased sales of the "Senator Quay"

cigar.

YORK LEAF MARKET.

^

A Little Quiet During Holiday Time

— Enormous Revcnuc^Rcccipts

— Trade Notes.

York, Pa., Jan. 5.— As is usually
the case during the first week of the
new year, the volume of business
transacted in the York leaf tobacco
market was light, and very few
deals of any consequence were re-
corded. However, the usual amount
of business has been done by the
packers and warehousemen. On the
whole, therefore, there is no cause
for dissatisfaction. The packers
look forward to 1903 with great
anticipation, and some of them are
already predicting that the sales
will be larger than during 1902,
which was one of the most success-
ful and prosperous in the history of
York County.

The enormous receipts at the
York office of the Ninth Pennsylva-
nia Internal Revenue District, prove
what The Tobacco World has said
for weeks past concerning the cigar
making business in York County.^
During the month of December the'
internal revenue receipts in this
city were larger than ever before in
the history of the office, and adds
considerably to Uncle Sam's ex-
chequer, and also shows that the ci-
gar business has been lively in this
section. The receipts for the month
of December from the sale of beer,
tobacco and cigar stamps, the prin-
cipal by far being the latter,
amounted to $99,933.48. This
amount exceeds the receipts of the
same month in 1901 of $19,034.42.
The previous figures for the months
of the fiscal year, already published
in The Tobacco World, showed cor-
respondingly large increases, which
testify to the prosperity of the cigar
business in York County during
1902. The receipts would have been
still greater had manufacturers been
enabled to secure additional cigar-
makers to help fill orders for goods.
The demand for cigars still con-
tinues. Most of the factories are
again in full operation, with plenty
of orders on hand. Some of the
manufacturers arc complaining of
too much business, as they cannot
get sufficient help. The La Buta
Cigar Company, of this city, needs
more hand and machine workers, as
•does other firms.

Allen Kan ff man & Bro.. manu-
facturers of cigar l)oxes and cigar-
makers' supplies, are enlarging the
capacity of their plant on York
street, this city. The firm has had
an unusually prosperous year dur-
ing 1902, and the enlargement of
the plant is made necessary by the

big and increasing demand for
goods. .\ large i)lot of ground, at
the southeast corner of (Jueen and
York streets, has been purchased.
.\ large frame warehouse has al-
ready been erected. Xorth of the
warehouse, excavations are now be-
ing made for the erection of a three-
story brick addition to the factory,
()()X45 feet in flimcnsions. The new
addition will be used mainly for the
printing of cigar box labels. The
latest electrical power machinery
will be installed.

Cigar manufacturers and union
cigarmakers are much interested in
the present term of Quarter Ses-
sions Court. D. B. Flinchbaugh, B.
C. Smith, B. S. Young, A. A. Leber
and James Adair, all prominent ci-
gar manufacturers of Red Lion,
will be tried on charges of using
counterfeit union cigar labels upon
their boxes. Much interest is felt as
to the final disposition of the cases.
A. A. Fix, a well-known cigar
manufacturer of Doylestown, is dis-
abled with a badly sprained left
ankle. While going down a stair-
way at his new factory, several days
ago, he fell and sustained a severe
sprain to his ankle.

Mr. Ralph Savage, of Winches-
ter, Va.. treasurer of the Cuba-Rica
Tobacco Company, was a visitor in
York several days last week. He
paid his respects to a number of
packers and jobbers.

The Winget Machine Company,
of this city, is receiving bids from
firms to build cigar machinery on
contract. The Winget Company is
receiving so many orders that ma-
chines will have to be built by con-
tract to help carry the overflow.
The Winget Machine Company has
had a very prosperous year, not-
withstanding it suffered considera-
ble loss bv fire several months ago.

L. E. Martin, foreman of the
Keystone Cheroot Company, Han-

a comfortable Morris chair. The
clock was presented by the male em-
plojtes, and the chair by the female
employes.

Tames Adair, a prominent cigar
manufacturer of Red Lion, has dis-
posed of his business in that place
and will move to York, where he
will engage in the tobacco business.

Bright Outlook for Leaf Bualneaa

for 1903— Trade Personals

and Notes.

San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 30,
igo2. — The opinion of a prominent
leaf tobacco man is that the the leaf
t<ibacco business is not what it
should be on this coast. There is not
cnnuph factories to handle the sup-
ply on hand, and considering the
good grade of cigars that are turned
out bv the local factories, it would
be justifiable, he believes, if the
number of them were increased to
seven or eight thousand. As it is,
traveling men sent out by Eastern
leaf houses at great expense, secure

i some trade with the local factories,
which pays them but little, while it

i greatly hurts the local dealers. It

is the lK)i)e of the local leaf dealers
that the rumors of the many fac-
tories that are to open after the first
of the vear will materialize to such
an extent that they and their com-
petitors from the East, if they per-
sist in coming, may both thrive.

C. H. Schmidt, manager of the
cijjar department for Tillman &
Bendel, wholesale grocers, on Bat-
tery street, is now home from his
Eastern trip. While East he called
on all of the firm's Eastern connec-
tions and made a few new contracts
and some heavy purchases.

Three cars of Pennsylvania and
one car of Connecticut broad leal
have arrived for Kohlberg & Co.,
dealers in leaf tobacco at 526 Wash-
ington street. Both of the company's
traveling men have been home dur-
ing the holidays.

A. S. Fass, of A. S. Fass & Bro.,
dealers in leaf tobacco, at 528 Wash-
ington street, left last week on a
trip through the Eastern States. He
will be gone at least a month. W.
Fass is now making a tour of the in-
terior of the State, and will return
to this city to-day.

H. London, leaf tobacco, 540
Washington street, like the rest of
the leaf tobacco dealers, has been
holding back until after the first,
carrying no more stock than neces-
sary on account of the quarterly of-
ficial report. This firm received
word that J. Hertzbrun, a cigar
manufacturer at Vallejo, Cal., has
gone out of business.

G. W. Hammerly has laid oft
four hands at his cigar factory. No.
52. at 716 Montgomery street, on
account of stock-taking. After the
first of the month they will again
resume work.

Mr. Conradi, of Conradi & Gold-
berg, leaf dealers, at 730 Montgom-
ery, says that they received a large
shipment of Little Spanish two
weeks ago.

The San Francisco & Key West
Cigar Company, at 310 Clay street,
will make an important change after
the first, which will then be an-
nounced. They are distributors for
the Victor Hugo, Fair Lillian, La
Rosa de Cuba, Key West Perfectos,
Monogram, James Lenox, Commer-
cial Union, Liberation and La In-
timidad.

Boltz, Clymer & Co., manufac-
turers and wholesalers, at 217 Front
street, will remove to their elegant
new store, at 416 Market street,
early in January, which will be the
depot for the El Palencia, El Meri-
to, El Monte and Americanos ci-
gars. It is at this place that Charles

B. Tomson will have his new retail
stand. A. F. Baumgartner, with
this firm, expects to make his annual
trip to Honolulu shortly after the
first of the year to visit David Law-
rence & Co. there, who are the firm's
agents. Boltz, Clymer & Co. manu-
facture the American Insular cigar
for David Lawrence & Co., which is
the biggest seller on the islands.
Saturday, the opening day of the
new Pacific cable, Mr. Baumgart-
ner had five messages of greeting
sent to his agents in Honolulu.

Barkley, Stetson, Preston Com-
pany, wholesale grocers in Los An-
geles, Cal., have just put in a full

line .)f Boltz, Clymer & Co.'s Jeffer-
son clear Havana cigars.

Ed. Wolf, jobber, at 204 Front
street, is able to report that all of
the houses which he represents are
well .satisfied with the business he
is getting out of this territory. Mr.
Wolf will start on a trip South im-
mediately after the holidays.

Sam Caio has just returned to the
city after his honeymoon, and 19
planning a large campaign for the
Humboldt cigar, after the first of

the year.

A. Shula, proprietor of a stand on
the west corner of iViarket and Front
streets, will be forced to vacate in
a few weeks. Mr. Shula regrets to
lose his good location, but after a
short cessation of business will look
about for a new location and larger

quarters, , , , . .t

A Fiebush has just added to the
stock at his stand, on the comer of
Sansome and Market streets, a full
line of the Princess Louise cigars.
Of these the five-cent Tampa, a clear
Havana, promises a great futiire,
judging from the start it has made.
MichaHstchke Bros. & Co. and S.
Bachman & Co., wholesalers, on
Market street, are busily engaged
taking stock. ,, ,, •

Liinan & Neilson have sold their
cigar store at Tacoma, Wash., to
Mr. Neilson, and the latter is now
in charge of the place.

C. J. Berry has opened a cigar
store in the Masonic building at
Santa Cruz, Cal. He will also con-
tinue to manufacture cigars.
Death of Charles W. Lauterbach.

After an illness of four weeks^
Charles W. Lauterbach, the Pacific
Coast representative of Crumn
Bros., leaf tobacco dealers, and a
man well known and liked by a host
of friends, died on the 22d of De-
cember. The deceased was an Elk,
a member of the Seattle lodge, and
was buried here under the auspices
of the San Francisco Lodge, No. 3.
He was 42 years of age at the time
of his death, and leaves a widow,
but no children. Mr. Lauterbach
was formerly connected with a Bal-
timore firm and has many friends
throughout the country. He was a
man who made friends wherever he
went, with competitors and custoni-
ers alike, and his loss will be felt in
many sections of the country.

Leaf Tobacco Mariccts*

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Sales of late show lower figures
than was thought possible, in view
of the light stocks in the market.
One might suppose there was a glut
in the market, and everyone forced
to sell at low prices, or else assort
and pack, as well as hold for the
sweat and a market later. The sale
of force sweat leaf began this year
fully a month earlier than ever be-
fore. The prices are generally kept
perfectly secret. We know that
light colored wrappers run from 80c
to $1 a pound. This year the broad
leaf seems to be the leading variety,
and is the first sought for and com-
mands the highest price. To go

back to the growing of seed leaf
would compel the changing of many
tobacco curing barns, as the tiers
are too close together, by from four
to six inches, unless the plants
should be topped lower than we
used to do years ago.

Our correspondents write:

Wethersfield, Ct.: "Our farmers
are quite busy stripping tobacco and
report very gocd quality. I hear of
one buyer looking around some,
but have heard of no sales."

Amherst Agricultural College:
*'We laid 10 plots of land. Each
plot was enriched by different fertil
irers. The plants were all set the
same day and were cared for the
same. Our object was to test the
quality of the leaf produced. On
some of the plots a coarse, large leaf
was grown of a low grade; on other
plots the leaf had a dead papery
look; still others, when burned,
showed a dark ash. As the plots
were of the same soil, the difference
in the quality must have been a re*
suit of the different fertilizers used. ' '

Hinsdale, N. H.: "I have no
sales to report and no buyers in
sight. I have raised tobacco for 35
years, and some of my neighbors
longer, and I don't remember a more
desirable crop than the present 1 902
Unless sales are made soon, we shall
assort our crop and trust to Provi-
-deuce."

Northampton: "Our tobacco is
all in the bundle. The McGrath
Brothers have opened their new
warehouse and will employ some 25
men through the winter. I hear of
no sales of the 1902. The Warner.
King & Nash Company have secured
an option upon about 1 20 acres in
Northampton, near West Farms
This is poor, pine plain land that
was used for rye as long as it would
pay for that. The suit of the San-
ford Brothers, of Westfield, against
the Fowlers, who refused to take
the crop, was decided in favor of
the Fowlers."

East Granby: "Only a few sales
of tobacco have been noted . Chas
W. Bates sold at 22c, 1902 crop, to
American Tobacco Company; Wm
A. Foster at 24c, 1901 sweat to
bacco, 25 cases, to Geo. Mitchelson

of St. Pan', Minn ; Fred C. Dibble,
3 acres, at 31c, to American To
bacco oropany. There is no stir
in tobacco just now. Tobacco
buyers are hole ing off to discourage
the farmers into selling at a low
price. Some have commenced to
assort their crop. There is not so
much pole sweat as was expected "
— American Cultivator.

EDGERTON, WIS.

The new year opens with a market
devoid of transactions so far as the
buying movement of either new or
old goods is concerned. The atten-
tion of packers is now turned to-
wards starting warehouse handling
of the new crop. New tobacco is
now being received pretty generally
at the packing points and next week
will see warehouse handling in full
swing. Six more warehouses were
started Monday and next week will
see most of the balance in operation
in this market. There is a short-
age of help so far but after the holi-
days and when the stripping is fin-
ished in the country it is expected
the packing houses will be working
full handed.

A few lots of 1902 have come in
during the week:

In old leaf the market shows no
new features, but a moderate trade
to manufacturers continues.

MODERN METHODS IN THE CIGAR^LEAF BUSINESS

By IsidorB M. JaCOBV, of I. J. Schoener & Co.

I think the whole secret of success in
the cigar leaf business at the present clay
may be summed up in one word-WORK.
I hope the printer will aid me in making'
my meaning clear by setting up this word
in capitals. It's the most satisfactory
word in any language, particulary when

one is young.

Work in the cigar leaf business means
work during fifty-two weeks of every year
and for nine hours of every week day. I
have been engaged in the leaf business
now for the past five years and I have
yet to see the day when an earnest effort
to get business has been without its sat-
isfactory result.

The cigar leaf business has been a
good business -one of the best businesses
in the Unitea States— for very many
years, and in my opinion it is a better
business to-day than it has ever been.
Profits are not so large as they used to be.

Weyler edict prohibiting the exportation
of Vuelta Abajoiind Tartidos leaf in 1896.
Prior to the McKinley year American ci-
gar manufacturers used Sumatra wrappers
with reckless extravagance, but face to
face wiih a $2 duty they speedily learned
how to make this expensive leaf go to the
utmost possible limit in the matter of j
yield, and the lesson thus learned has j
been of never failing value to them. The
triumphant way in which the American i
manufacturer of cigars got out of the dif- 1
ficulty raised by the Weyler embargo is
common knowledi;e among all cigar
smokers.

Leaf merchants have alsolearned much

during the past dozen years, but I think
the most important things they h ive
learned are the^-e. First, that it is a duty
which they owe above all to themselves
to see that their customers can make a
living profit out of the leaf sold to them.

tvoes of leaf, on yield, on prevailing ' if we can know we are doing good to

fashions in colors, in short on every sub
jcct which it is their main concern to
know most about. For these reasons I
consider the cigar leaf business one of the
straightest businesses in the world. The
struggle for existence among cigar manu-
facturers has been of enormous educa-
tional value not only to themselves but
to leaf merchants as well. There was a
time when one type of leaf could mas-

others; and if the other fellow feels he is
the beneficiary so much tne better. The
leaf merchant of to-day studies his
customers' wants with painstaking care.
He knows precisely the kind of goods his
customer is putting on the market and he
gives him the right kind of leaf at the
right prices because he knows that that
is the wisest thing to do from the point of
enlightened selfishness. He does not

querade successfully as another type, sell his customer, for instance, $3- 5°

Germany is Unterrified.

Gustav Kaphun. Chairman of the As-
sociation of German Tobacco Manufac-
turers, says that the society considers
that the reports of the ruinous competi-
tion of the American Tobacco Trust are
untrue, and that therefore the associa-
tion does not contemplate at this time
any steps for self-protection. The ttust.
he said, might buy up as many factories
as it choose, but that new one would
spring up in Germmy at any moment.
Should the trust really succeed in absorb-
ing the smaller dealers the Government
would at once introduce the tobacco State
monopoly. The Government has only
been wailing for such a moment to over-
come the opposition of the Reichstag
which has existed heretofore against
monopoly by the State, and the argu-

ment of which has been that monopoly
tended to destroy the small dealers. Ii»
the annual report of the association it is
stated that there is no room in the as-
sociation for German manufacturers who
aid the aims and purposes of the Ameri-
can trust

A BOON TO BACHELORHOOD.

1 f fate bade me pick from his opulent store
Three comforts, and give me the choice

of no more.
A trio of rapturous blessing. . forsooth,
A boon to gray hairs and a solace to

youth ;
Yoq might guess the familiar "wine^

women, and song"
I'd quickly select, but in that you are

wrong.
For I'd choose with a bachelor's wisdon*

that's ripe
A crackling wood fire, a book, and a

pipe.

In a wide open grate must the blaze be

to suit.
And the pipe I'd select is an old briar

root
Whose amber lipped stem is with nico-
tine stained,
A pipe from whose bowl much of wisdom

I've drained
In the dead yester years, and the book

should be such
As the Boston library thinks naughty to

touch.
I would pose an exampler of comfort's

true t\pe.
With a crackling wood fire, a book, and

a pipe! Roy Farrhll Grkkne,
In Munsey's.

Oppoae the Eight Hour Bill.

Among the letters which have been
forwarded lo the Committee on Educa-
tion and Labor ol the U. S. Senile pro-
testing against the passage of the bill
formulited by the American Feder.-tion
of Labor, and which has already passed
the House of Rep esentatives, the follow-
ing from the Miller DuUiul & Peters
Mfg. Co., is one of the most interesting:

"The undeniable effect of the eight-
hour law on one class of operatives would

GREEN CHARTREUSE AND A MOGVL.

Epicurus smacked his lips after the
fiist hip of the liquer and the first whiff
of his cigarette, and remarked to Sybaris,
who had been smoking much and di ink-
ing little all through the meal: ".My
boy, 1 fear you are smoking too much.
Your fingers are getting yellow and theie
are black lings under your eyes that
don't become you."

"Cut it short." said Sybaris rudely, '
"It all comes of following your philo-
sophy. You advocate indulgence in
such pleasures as genuinely appeal to
one, and just now my craving for tobacco
is unappeasable. 1 can't see that my
fingers are so very yell^iw, and as to the
rings under my eyes, mayhc they come
from not getting enough sleep. At any
rate, I'm not getting fat and you are.
Where's the waist line you used to be so
proud ol ? Why, mm, you're getting
to be a mountain. You'll have to train
down to your old form or lose me," and
Ssbaris reached over, selected another
Mogul out of the diamond bedecked ci-
gaictte box lying open befoie him on the
table, lighted it and leaning his chin upon
one hand started impudently into the
face of his friend.

Epicurus didn* t mind ; he took another
sip ot Chartreuse and commented upon
the red green glow caused by the near-
ness of the cigarette to the glass.

"1 may be getting fat," he said, "but

must be on the same basis as far as gen-
eral conditions go. From general ob
seivation it would seem th.it the labor
unions are not pushing the i«hort-hour
system lor iocial benefit, as they claim.
The labor unions have a dictionary of
their own. We take it from observation
in the shipyards of New York, where
eight hours is the rule and where the
union is very strong, that the men will
not allow the proprie ors of the shipyards
to woik double shifts, but prefer to work
on the ships twelve t<> fourteen hours per

about the table and its pleasures. Those
are, after all, the only things that inter-
est us twb. 1 used to think Chartreuse
crude. There seemed to be something
lacking every time I tasted it. I am con-
vinced now that was because I hadnt
hit upon the right combination. I've
tried cigars with this liquer but that

mild the « igar was it was still too heavy.

This practically eliminates, as f .r as the | all the cigarettes I cc uld find in the sales
New York shipyards ate concerned, any cat ilogues of the dealers. I p >id no at-
"social benefits ' that may accrue to the ; jgnuon to price and some of those that
men by shorter hours '^^-'

The louiidation
idea in the labor unions is that there is
an enormous mass of unemployed some-
where, though no one seems to know
where this somewhere is, ar d they must
limit production and shorten the hours
of labor to take care of this mass of un-
employed people. We believe that
shorter hours are gradually commg, as
the radical result of improved machinery.
Improved machinery to-day does not
particularly benefit the producer, either
capitalist or laborer to any great extent.
As the improvement in machinery con-
tinues, the laborer is gradually relieved
from the drudgery of his work by the
automatic n<achine; and as the hours are
shorteiied, keeping abreast of the im-
provements in mat hinery, t*^e laborer
will derive a direct benefit. The fact is,
the labo er admits it. but he tries to drive
things faster than economic conditions
will jusify. We have not enough work-
men today to do the work of the country,
and we have not enough automatic ma-
chinery to take up the 20 per cent, of
their productivity which wt)uld be equiv-
alent to shortening the hours from ten to
eight"

I tried were really good, especially the
London ones. But not one of them was
exactly right. There was a harshness,
like the tang of bad whiskey to even the
best of them. In some cases the harsh-
ness was mitigated, but it was never
whi.lly absent, and it irritated ine."

"I know just what you mean," inter-
rupted Sybaris, "your precious old palate
is aiways troubling you."

"Not more than other peoples palates
trouble them," rejoined Epicurus. "But
then, this matter of a mild cigarette is
leally a very im|)ortant one, because at
the rate we live to day we can't afford to
put any moie strain on our nerves than
is abstiliitely netessary, and a smoke that
isn't mild is the most wearing of all
strains. I'm out of the woods now,
though. I've found a cigirette that is
really mild, that is always uniform and
well made, and one that I can buy any-
where and everywhere."

"Dear me," commented Sybaris in his
supercilious way, "what an age it takes
you old chaps to tell a story and to an-
nounce what you have discovered long
after all the rest of the world has been
on to it! You're talking about the Mogul
and the rest of us have been smoking it
ever since it was on the market. You
and your Chartreuse! This cigarette is
is welcome to an empty stomach as to a
full one. For instance, I always smoke
two or three of them before breakfast,
and from that on until I go to bed."

"Humph." grunted Kpicurus, "I'm
glad you've got sense enough to stick to
a good thing when you find it."

This was the parting shot in the little
interchange of words between Kpicurus
and his young disciple and immediiteU
afterward they took their usual ride to-

Cloth for Tobacco Grower*.

Forbes & Wallace, of Springfield.
Mass. , are sf nding out a circular letter to
tobacco growers calling attention to their
excellent International tobacco cloth, de-
signed for the growers of cloth grown
Sumatra and other leaf. Among other
things, the firm says:

We do not recognize any claims of
patent rights that may have been pending
or that may have been granted on to-
bacco cloth, for the reason that everyone
knows that re enforcement has been used
on cloth to strengthen it for years.

Our mill manufactures this cloth to
meet the demand for large mesh tobacco
cloth, and will continue to manufacture
it until the trade demands somethmg
different.

ContiiventaLrs Contention Upheld.

At St Haul. January 5th, in the case
of Joseph P. Whitwell. a cigar and to-
bacco dealer, against the Continental
Tobacco Company. Judge Lochren in
the Federal Court dismissed the case on
the motion of the defendant, who de-
murred on the ground that the complain-
ant did not show sufficient cause for
action.

The suit wts brought under the Sher-
man anti trust law, which gives a dealer
the right to bnng suit for thiee times the
amount involved. Whitwell, who had
ordeied $600 woith of goods of t>>e Con-
tinental Tobacco Company, and refused
them for the reason that the goods would
be delivered only on the condition that
the buyer accept other goods which he
had not ordered, sued the company for
|i,8oo.

Judge Lorhren held that the company
had a right to impose terms and condi-
tions under which it should dispose of
its goods and ihat such action was not
in violation uf the law.

1898 ? One of my frieuds insists that the

sists it has been a failure. Which is

they are making upon the Trust the
large attendance at the meeting in
Maennerchor Hall, on East Fifty-
sixth street, on the evening of Jan-

pervaded the gathering, would prove
it. When this movement originatecf
there were many who predicted
that it would collapse, and that be-
fore many weeks the gatherings
would become less and less fre-
quent, with only a corporal's guard
in attendance, just as used to be
the case with the old association
that was wont to meet in the same
hall, spend its time in the reading
of the roll-call and the minutes of
the previous meeting and then ad-
journ to some near-by restaurant for
refreshments. But the present as-
sociation, of which Sidney J. Free-
man is the head, and in which Rob-
ert E. Lane is so commendably ac-
tive, is animated by a totally differ-
ent spirit. The members are of one
opinion — that the struggle in which
they are at present engaged is one
that merits the best endeavors of

they are jeopardizing their own
livelihood. It was declared that the
agitation in Chicago and other cities
has materially decreased the output
of the Trust.'

It was announced that application
had been made for the incorporation
of the association under the laws of
New York. A committee of three
was appointed to attend the meet-
ing of the national body in Chicago
to see if the New York body could
work in harmony with the bodies of
other cities.

Robert E. Lane, of the Executive
Committee, said that he had asked
General Burnett, United States Dis-
trict Attorney, whether the sending
of coupons through the mails was
not in opposition to the Anti-Lot-
tery laws, and that the reply was
that it was, but the District Attor-
ney's office had done nothing about
it. H. Silverstone. T. H. Donegan

the laws. Thev will also bring the

its leaders, and Mr. Freeman and
his aids have shown that they more
than justify that confidence.

The weather on the evening of
January 9 was bitterly cold, and
many of those who went to Maen-

work in their stores, and were fitter
for their beds than for a trip in the
night air. Nevertheless, they came,
and the proceedings of the night

Havana, January. 3. 1903 — The

the holidays intervening in the new

the Havana market for the week

heretofore ; Ijesides, the absence of
any buyers from the United States

sales more or less. Notwithstand-
ing these unfavorable circumstances
the total amount of sales sums up

important factor in delaying oi)era-
tions upon a grander scale, as the
buyer in the north naturally wishes
to know whether and when the re-
duction of 20 per cent, upon Cuban
tobacco will take place, and. there-
fore, he hesitates to lay in more
stock than is needful for the hand-

any benefit, even if it should de-
mand the old duty upon all goods in
bond after the passing of the reci-
procity treaty, as the importer still
retains the right to export all his
stock to Cuba, and then to reimjwrt
it, under the new law ; but such a
pr(x:edure would cause an expense
of freight to and from Cuba, be-
sides minor charges for cartage,
marine insurance, Custom House
charges for entry and clearance doc-
uments, besides the loss of time in
transit of the goods.

J. Vt. Cobb, the president of the
Havana Tobacco Company, of New
York, has arrived in Havana. His
ol)ject in coming here is said to be
to come to an under.standing with
Don Gustavo Bock in regard to the
fusion of the American and I'nglish
factories under one harmonious
management.

Departures consist only of Mr. S.
H. Friedlander, of A. Moeller &
Co., of New York, who returns to
his home with a fresh stock of goods
.suitable for that market.

Crop advices for 1903 from the
Yuelta Arriba speak of heavy dam-
ages by inundations in all the low-
lands, and that 10,000,000 plants
have been utterly destroyed by the
three-days' rain storm which raged
with hurricane force. This is a heavy
blow to the unfortunate planters, for
even if they replant a small part,
the chances are much against them,
as the .season is somewhat advanced,
and. I)esi<les. seedlings might no
longer be obtainable. The Tartido
section is the most favore<l one this
year, while the Vuelta .\bajo is
mixed as to reports of the growing
crop: a few localities may raise a
fair (|uantity. while in others there
is loud complaint as to the yield and
the harm done by worms, p(K)r seed-
lings, etc.

OBITUARY.

Edward K. Felmey. well known as a
cigar manufactu.er in years past, died at
his late residence. 1234 N. Front street,
January 6. aged 74- Four daughters
survive him.

Frederick Stein, who was engaged in
cigar manufacturing for years, died Jan-
•ary 5 at his late home 440 Diamond
street, aged 68. Deceased was a native
of Germany and came to this countr>
when a youth. He is survived by two
sons.

in the associations' affairs and the mem-
bership is growinji rapidly. There is a
great deal of work before the ahsociaiion
and many perplexing eronomic problems
to be discussed.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
United States internal revenue officers
seized 10,000 illegal cigar Tuesday morn-
: ing. shipped as groceries from New York
[city to Dominio I'ara/iale of 1209 Kim-
ball street, Philadelphia. Paiaziale.when
he applied at the dock for the goods was
arrested. The cigar boxes had no rev-
enue stimps upon theni. and it is said
Para/i.ile has sold unstamped goods of a
similar character for some time pa^-t, es-
pecially in the southern part of Philadel-
phia. He has been held in I500 bail
for a heiring and efforts will be made to
locate his supposed accomplices.

CHANCE MACHINES MUST GO.
Illegal slot machines must go. So sax
the police authorities and as a conse-
quence many of the Quaker city retailers
will be out of pocket. Legal slot vend-
ing machines will not be interfered with
and that is a comfort to many dealers,
but "the other kind." the "chance"
machines will have to go. Law and
Order Gibboney and his agents recently
seized 400 of the alleged illegal slot de.
vices and they will be destroyed. No
prosecutions will be make if the person? |
who used them will not do so again, fhe
machines are said to have earned their
owners from $15 to $40 per month.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

LIBERMAN'S UTEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
catting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
And rigid surface, enabling the oper-

..:,:ty^-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the Bngtrr tips.

Changing of the die to any hhape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple mailer on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These poii ts of merit, coupled
with other.-* not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day. a
fact thai cannot conscieulioubly be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. NA e think it will pay
you to investigate.

JOSEPH E. TUCK. |

Joseph E. Tuck, president of the
Philadelphia Cipar Retail Dealers',
Protective Association, was born I
in Philadelphia February 27,
1866. He attended schrx)! initil
the age of 14, and soon af-
ter removed to Lancaster Coun-
ty, where he entered the to-
bacco trade. For years he was a
manufacturer and also a commer-
cial salesman, having headquarters
at Salunga, Lancaster County. In
1896 he returned to the Quaker
City and at once opened a retail ci-
gar store at 12 Market street. .\
little over a year ago he opened a
branch store at 202 Chestnut street.

Mr. Tuck is a man of pleasing per-
sonality and is as well a pushing
and vigorous business man. His
speeches on behalf of the retailers'
protective movement proves him to
have orat<)rical abilities, and as
president of the organization he is
giving entire satisfaction to the
members.

The American-English syndicate,
it is said, will purchase three of the
largest cigarette factories in the
City of Mexico, valued at about
$ 1 1 ,000,000.

The American Tobacco Companv.
it is said, is to establish in Chicago
the largest cigar factory in the
West.

Zancaster Trade Prospects

-Unustially Bright for 1903— Sam

Kauff nan in Busy — Briefs

and Personals.

Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 12, 1903.
From information received
through a visit to the dealers the
tobacco trade has opened up earHer
than is usual after the holiday sus-
pension. Dealers and others report
business good and healthy, with rosy
prospects of a greater amount of
business being done during 1903.

Disputes between packers and
farmers over the 1902 tobacco still
■continue, the dealers claiming that
much of the tobacco brought to
their warehouses is not up to the
contract, and they refuse to receive
it. More than the usual crop of law-
suits will find their way into Court
.as a result of contracting for tobac-
co before it was stripped and ready
for a thorough examination.

Leaf salesmen are making their
appearance daily amo ig the manu-
facturers, and when questioned as
to the condition of trade invariably
reply: "Good! No complaint to
make." The same encouraging re-
ports come from the manufacturers,
all of whom are "as busy as can be"
and in full operation.

Sam Kaufman spent the week in
town and secured some flattering or-
ders. This was Sam's first trip in
this vicinity since having associated
himself with William Steiner's Sons
& Co., of New York.

Visitors in town the past week
were: Harry Nathan, of Loeb-Nu-
nez Havana Co., Philadelphia: S.
S. Swartz, of Loeb-Swartz Tobacco
Co., Philadelphia ; L. R. Eisenbrand.
of L. Bamberger & Co., Philadel-
phia; T. Bixby, of J. Cohn & Co.,
New York.

Leaf Dealer** Happy Over the no2
Business — Internal Revenue Re-
ports— Personals. K'c.

York. Pa., Jan. 12. uyo^.
The leaf tobacco dealers report a
satisfactory amount (^f business last
week, and as a result all persons in-
terested in the trade are enjoying
good tempers and going around
with happy smiles on their faces.
.Although there were no extraor-
dinary transactions during the
week, the sales amounted in larger
volume than had been expected. The
l)rices are steady.

The demand for cigars is so great
that very few factories were idle
more than a few days after the first
of the year. The stocktaking proce-
dure was rushed through with all
speed, and as soon as it was over
operations were begun again. There
is no let-up in the demand for goods,
and a number of firms really have
more orders on their books than
they know how to handle.

Some enormous shipments of ci-
gars were made during the week
from this city. The bill clerk at the
Western Maryland freight office
informs me that during the week dy
cases of cigars were shipped from
this city. ^Iost of the consignments
were for the West and Southwest.

The Tol)acco World last week
called attention to the internal rev-
enue receipts of the York office of
the Ninth Pennsylvania district.
The amount collected in the Ninth
district during December was $265,-
7(>8.23, divided as follows : Beer,
$16,583,50; spirits, $52,342.62; ci-
gars, $193,591.68; tobacco.
$2323.59; snuff. $27.60; special,
^nH.72 ; documentary, $17.05 ; mis-
cellaneous. $293.47. This is an in-
crease of $23,905.60 compared with
the correspon<ling month of 1901.
The shrinkage on cigars alone was
$2().4I5.26. but on some things there
was a gain. Last November the re-
ceipts on cigars alone were $213,-
n/j.35. it being one of the district's
biggest months, but there is always
a break in December, the last month
of the year, as there is much shut-
ting down of factories in order to
prepare their annual statements.

The extent of the cigar industry
in York County may be gleaned
when $99,034.42, the amount re-
ceived at the York office during De-
cember, is subtracted from $265,-

Mr. Wholesaler and Mr.
Retailer, both of you like t:
hear the musical jingle cf the
nimble dollar. It will give you
the quickest kind of a quick-
step if you invest a few in
MOGUL Cigarettes. They are
the quick sellers in the cigarette
line, thus hurrying the dollars
your way. Is the hint broad
enough ?

die work of the cigar and t(»bacca
factories of this district. He states
that the output for the district is
far in excess of what had been ex-
pected. The trade opened brisk for
the new year. Mr. Cranston has
closed up the business of the Lehigh
district, which is also under his di-
rection.

b-xtensive alterations and im-
provemonts have been completed to
the cigar box factory of \Veidman
& Moyer. at W<mielsdorf. lierks
County. Their largely increasing
business necessitated more room.

Daniel M. lUibb. a cigar manufac-
turer, of WOmelsdorf, was recently
ill Montgomery County on a busi-
ness trij).

Letters of administration on the
estate of James W. Yocum, a mem-
ber of the firm of Yocum I>ros., who
died several weeks ago, were issued
to Charles and John Yocum, twO'
sons. A bond in $250,000 was filed,
showing the deceased left personal
j)roperty valued at $i5o.fxx). The
real estate owned by the decedent is
worth about $75,000. Mr. Yocum
left no will, as all through his illness
he firmly believed he would get well.
John H. Stevens is attorney for the
administrators.

James I^. Trexler. of the interna!
revenue office, made the first .sale of
cigar stami)s for the new year ta
the X'ictor Thorsch Company, at Al-
lentown. for $150. The order was re-
ceive<l by mail, and was accom-
panied by a certified check.

(ieorge IL Valentine, senior mem-
ber of the firm of A. S. Valentine
& Son. Womelsdorf, is on a month's
trip through the West in the inter-
ests of the firm. The house is over-
run with orders for their leading 5
and lo-cent brands, and are putting
new hands to work daily.

.\. Thalheimer & Son, box manu-
facturers, are making exten.sive im-
provements to their plant and are
enlarging the same. .V part of the
building on the first floor was occu-
pied by another growing industry,
and this firm has secured new head-
(juarters. and Mr. Thalheimer will
now make use of this space. New
machinery is being installed in the
new ly-ac(|uired space, and in several
weeks all the alterations will have
been made and the capacity of the
plant enlarged thereby. To give fur-
ther op])ortunities to enlarge vari-
ous departments on the second and
third floors the storeroom on the
latter has been vacated to make
room for the boxmakers, A build-
ing has been secured also, and will
be used as a .storage house. During
the close of the year 1902 the plant
was compelled to run day and night
to keep up with orders. A new box
for Yocum I'ros. is keeping a large
force of employes busy. Many other
styles of boxes are being manufac-
tured.

The firm of (Goldsmith & Keller,
cigar manufacturers, has been dis-
solved by tbe retirement of Joseph
A. Keller, the junior member of the
firm. Mr. Goldsmith will carry on
the business at the old stand, and
will put a number of new hands to
work. Mr. Keller has not yet de-
cided what business to engage in.

SMOKINC; ROOM OK (.I:M:K.\1. I'OKTKK.

Two of the pictures on this page
illustrate and the third indicates lux-
nriousness in smoking.

The first jMCture shows the inter-
ior of the smoking room in Paris
of C.eneral Horace Porter. I'liited
States Ambassador to bVance. This
ai)artnient is furnished with the ut-
most elegance consistent with good
taste and is i)erliaps the finest .smok-
ing room in the world, (icneral
Porter, whose fame as a wit and a
story teller is famous the world
tiver. is never in hai)pier mood than
when surrounded by congenial spir-
its in his smoking hmmii. He is one
of the world's 4jreatest cigar con-
noisseurs.

The .sec(»nd picture is a photo en-
graving from a painting by |. L.
(•erome. the greatest of living
I'Vench artists. This ])ainting is one
of his masterpieces, it shows an
.\rnaut military oflicer enjoying
his cliibouc|ue in surroundings that
4ire magnificent 1\ oriental.

The third picture is a photo-en-
graving of a i)aiiiting by Sir David
Wilkie. one of the greatest artists
.Scotland has ever given to the
worl<l. In a well-to-do household
in India the division of labor among
servants is very minute. The hooka
hadar has but one functi(»n — he
takes care of his master's h<M)ka
and brings it to him whenever he
calls for a smoke. His wages are
pitiably small, but nevertheless he
takes a sort of stately pride in per-
forming his few trifling duties. In-
<lia is the only country in the world
where the luxurious comfort of rich
smokers is cared for to the extent of
iMiiploving a man solely to take
charge of the smoker's pipe.

It would be well if every home in
the civilized world had its own
smoking room to which the male
members of the family might retire
for a conteni])lative cigar or pipe or
cigarette, or for a (|uiet ses-
sion with some favorite author, or
for communion hir an hour or two
with s|)irits congenial and also fond
of tobacco. Iwery home that is

e(iuii)ped with its own smoking
room can boast of a mistress who
does not complain of curtains smell
ing of stale tobacco smoke or other
wise ofl'ensive to the nostrils of her
feminine cronies. Any man who
undertakes lo furnish a smoking
room to his own taste will take de-
light in the occnp.ition as it pro
ceeds. He will ac<|uire a valuable
special education in ihini^s artistic.
His smoking room need not be as
fine as (icneral Porters, nor as or-
nate as that of C.eronu-'s Arnaut of-
ficer, but by the time he is through
decorating it to his tasle he will be
just as well pKased with it as if it
were. Trv it for y<nirseh' and see.
If vou can't atTord an oriental rug.
or If you want to bci^in without an\
floor covering at all. sand vour flooi.
A sanded floor in a smoking room
has alwavs. somehow, a most hos-
pitable UK»k. If. hapi)ily for your-
self, vou can afford a rug be ct)n

tent with nothing but a Kerman-
sliah. (let one with plenty of crim-
.son and light blue in it. A Ker-
manshah. 12 by 15 feet. ma\ easily
cost $1500. Tables and chairs may
be of almost any material and shape,
provided they are comfortable. If
you are rich enough to match your
furniture to yt)ur Kernianshah you

Indian furniture now being manu-
factured by the Shrenkeiseii Com-
pany, of New York.

A buffet for licjuid refreshments

I is not out of place in a properly

I e(|uipi)ed smoking room, but it is

not indispensable. .\ book case

filled with the right sorts of books

is indispensable.

If you are not committed to one*
line of reading, as many men are,
you will find a singular charm in
reading in your smoking room
b<x)ks about books, and books about
the theatre. Most people who go to
the theatre accept with entirely too
much seriousness the critiques of
the drama which they find in their
daily newspaper. The L'nited States
possesses two remarkably able mu-
sical critics, but not a single writer
on the drama who is anything more
than flii)pant. The reason of the
diflerence is plain : The musical
critics take their time and the critics
of the drama rush into print imme-
diately after a first performance. In
France, in 1-jigland and in ( iermany
both orders of critics follow the
same rule, and that is why the dra-
matic criticisms of such writers as
Francisque Sarcey and William
Hazlitt rank as literature and are
preserved in books for the delecta-
tion of the world which in civilized
countries will always take an inter-
est in the drama.

Possibly you think that the fore-
going few remarks on critics of mu-
sic and the drama have nothing to
do with a smoking rtxj'm, but then,
perhai)s. on the other hand, you
perceive that the connection is most
intimate, because a smoking room
without books is only an annex to a
barroom, and if you are a fre(iuenter
of the opera house, the concert hall
or the theatre no class of reading
will give you a greater sense of
luxury in your smoking room than
that which has been suggested.

A VISIT to DON ADOLFO MOELLER'S
FARM, "HEVIA."

I.eavi ^,' aside the well (Ifscibed t ip
i^y the Wcsiein Ruilroad from Havana to
the village of duira de la Melen.i, 1 will
only say that we left by the 7 o'clock
train, and arri\ed at Guira at 8.30.
While the weather looked threateningly
enoii«;h when we left Havana, it com-
menced to rain during the trip, and iip( n
our arrival at Guira it w.is pourin*; in
torren's. Still as we were met by a
coac h and a volanta, our party of seven
manaj;ed to re.ich the hotel America on
Sunday. January 4, without a wetting.
After partaking of a liberal breakfast, and
as the rain ceased about eleven o'clock,
our host, Don Adolfo and three of his
friends mounted their fiery steeds, and
the rest of our party proceeded by coach
and vo'anta to the farm 'Hevia." This
propfrty was formerly a sugar plantation,
but owing to some unknown vicissitude
has p.issed fiom its previous ownership
into other hands, and has been operated
by Don Adolfo for several years as a to-
bacco farm. It consists of three cabal-
lerias or about 100 acres, which are de-
voted exclusively to tobacco culture, al-
though Don Adolfo has rented three
more cab.dlerias contiguous to this farm
for producing other products, to feed his
horses, cows and oxen and to have space
for his farming utensils. Besides this
farm, Don Adolfo is also operating an-
other one, close by, called "La Iberia,"
which is however smaller, and probably
does not contain more th;tn 10 acres.

Already from the railroad some bar-
rack-like structures vreie discernible in
the distance, and the prin(ipal object of
these lines is to give my readeis some
sort of an idea of what they contained,
and for what purpose they were intended.
Arriving at the "casa de vivienda, ' or
farmhouse, and sitting or standing upon
the veranda, one could see a mass of
tenting in front and on one side as far as
the eye could reach, ancl the>-e weie the
famous cheesecloth coverings, or the new-
method of raising the fine wrapper 10-
b.icco, which is so highly appreciated all
over the world. There are three separate
tents, coveied by cheese- loth, the height
of ear h tent is about nine feet, and the
( 1< th is fa-tened to wires and solid posts
driven into the ground. Of ti.e latlrr 5,-
000 have been empl()>ed, 450,000 square
yards of cheese cloth has been used and
a large quantity of wire. Looking f om
the verai'da, when the wind is blowing,
the cheesecloth makes an undulating
motion, like the l.tr;,e ocean billows, and
people who are "pt to get se.isick, might
po sil)ly experience this sensation by
looking too long at this sight. In enter-
ing the tent by one of the numerous
doors that exist in the sides, the sight i>
one of extreme satisfaction to the lovers
of the nicotine plant, as you see the most
beautiful S) ecimens one could imagine,
all sound, evenly grown to a height of
between four and five feet, and ech
plant having from twelv eto sixteen leaves
• f a perfect growth, as far as the length
of the leaves is concerned. 1 here are no
worm-eaten plants, and each leaf prom-
ises to give a wrapper on each side.
While by the old method of nising to-
bacco, as a rule the veguero considered
himself lucky when he realized from

twenty to twenty five percent, of wrapper
leaves, it seems certain that the new
stxleof raising tobacco will give from
seventy five to eighty percent, of wrap-
per le.ives. Two tei ts had tobacco
which was nearly ripe and will probably
be cuttiuring the coming week, while the
third tent had already produced one crop
and h id been plowed over and new
seedlmgs had been set out to produce a
second crop. Theieare 16 drying houses
on the f -rm, and it appears ;is if the to-
bacco w.\s drying off in a ptrfett manner,
as some of the fi" st cut leaves show a per-
fectly uniform light brown color, without
any spots to speak of, and the few which
still exist will disappear when the tobacco
undergoes the sweating process later on.
1 tried the burning process mjstlf by
wrapping a fresh leaf around my cigar,
and it burned perfectly, with a white ash.
The leaves are of an extremely fine tex-
ture, thin in leaf, but glossy and elastic,
with the necessary gum easily discernible^
therefore the tobacco gives promise of
having a fine qu.dity as far as this is
possible to say at present. Besides the
tobacco grown under cover, I have also
seen the plant rai-ed in the open field,
and while the same is also very fair look-
ing, still in growth and soundness thete
is some remaikable difi'erence, and the
yield in wrappers is certainly not much
above the average raised by the old
method.

The new style of raising tobacco in
Cuba has stood the test for one year, as
Don Luis Marx in Alqnizar, Don C;tlixto
Lopez in Rio Seco in the \'uelta Abajo
and Mr. Koop, of Boston, in Manicar-
agua, made sm.dler tests last year, and
the results have been very satisfactory,
particularly as regards the former one,
though less is known about the two other
parties. Don Adolfo however in this-
year's made the largest tri.d and has al-
ready spent a large sum for plants,
cheesecloth, posts, wires, iron pipes and
manure, but by raising his own seedlings,
also under cover, he has saved perhaps
|2o,ooo on 5,000,000 seedlings. He
employs 160 hands steadily. Prices are
n.iturally governed by the supply and

' the demand later on, but unless some-

I

I thing unforeseen 0( curs, it looks as if the

enterprising genius of Don Adolfo would
reap a handsome return for his clear
foresight, and the tremendous labor in-
volved in looking after an undertaking
of this nature. I'eop'e who understand
whit it needs not only to raise a crop,
but also to put it into marketable shape,
might make their own figures.

That this mode of r.iising tobacco will
find more fo lowers in the ye.irs to come
is almost beyond doubt, as the covering
prevents damage by heavy rainstorms,
and tempers the fierce rays of the sun,
while at the same time it also keeps out
the insects that are apt to do much d.im-
age during the growing season, to the
tender plants, even if by using Paris
green the plague has been mitigated. In
dry seasons Don Adolfo has his own
irrigating plant, and the whole field i*
interspersed with pipes, which furnish
water from an inexhaustible well, by
means of a huge pumping engine.

The cheesecloth is apt to suffer by the
wind, therefore a large force of men is
required to watch constantly for small

t

rents, and to rep.ur them at once to pre-
vent further ripping. Another new
method to harvest the ripe tobacco used
by Don Adolfo is to cut the leaves singly
from the plant as they mature, and string
them up separately; this promises to give
excellent results.

An Ideal Tobacco Country.

E. H. Bjoin, of Stoughton, Dane
County, a representative of the American
Tobacco Co., is quoted as saying of Sl
Croix County, Wis. :

"The soil and climate are ideal for the
raising of tobacco and the quality of the
article produced is not excelled anywhere
in the state. Planting, cultivation, har
vesting and preparation of the product
for the market all require a certain degree ,
of skill, which has not yet been acquired,
and which is necessary to produce the
best results, nor have you the necessary
mechanical equipments. Another requi- !
site to secure the best results is good |
markets. Six and eight cents per pound |
was the best price secured for the present ;
crop, whereas tobacco of this quality, I
centrally located, with reference to mar-
kets, would probably have yielded ten,
twelve or even fifteen cents per pound. '
Mr. Bjoin says that if enough farmers
can be induced to take up the culture of
tobacco, warehouses will be erected at
some central point which will insure a
good market. Viewing this proposition
in a businesslike manner it should not
be lightly considered. For a good mar-
ket for tobacco is not the only benefit to
be derived therefrom. Indirectly it will
tend to raise our land values.

Over Baldwin w.iy, the average value
of the yield per acre for this year's crop
was $110, some going as high as $150,
and under proper methods of cultivation
this can be materially increased. Most
of the farmers who tried it largely as an
experiment this year will double their
acreage next season.

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNKCTICUT VALLP:Y.

Accounts are received of sales in sc.it-
tered lots. There is a class of growers
who, from some cause, will sell to the
first man who puts in an offer. They
generally sell for from one-half to two-
thirds as much as others who read up the
market conditions, or mayhap they sell
from sheer necessity. Still one thing is
true, just as good cigar leaf has been
■sold at from 12 to 15c, in Massachusetts
as that which has been sold in Connecti-
cut at from 22>^ to 22c. Is it because
our Massachusetts growers are afraid to
ask a reasonable price for their goods?
A goodly number of growers will give up
raising tobacco, for the re.ison that the
packers are bound to buy at such low
figures. This and similar statements we
see in our local papers. Such growers
not only injure themselves, but their
neighbors as well.

Our correspondents write:
Suffield: "I have just learned the out-
come of a suit that a townsman had w ith
Mr. Dennerline of New York. It seems
that Mr. Dennerline docked the grower
|ioo. The grower claimed that Denner-
line thoroughly examined the leaf. The
grower recovered the |ioo interest and
damages."

Conway: "I have no new sales to re-
port. A few buyers were in town last
week, but no sales were made so far as
1 have heard. One or two have not
finished stripping yet."

Feeding Hills: "Two crops sold this
week at 14c in the bundle, and two crops
have been delivered; the price unknown.
That is the extent of the sales thus far
this season. Just over the line several
sales have been made. One lot was sold
for 23c in the bundle."

Hinsdale: "1 have to report the sale
of 3 lots of tobacco the past week to E.
Wever of West Suffield, Ct. A. B. Davis
& Son sold 4 acres at 1 3c ; W. N. Pike,
5 acres at 12c. and J. Thomas. 5 acres
at 12c, all in the bundle."

Putney: "A few sales have been made
in this vicinity of late, but the terms are
not reported. Mr. Alexander of this
section, two or three in Westminster,
which he will a^^sort and pack."

East Windsor: "Hinsdale Smith &
Co. have bought several crops ol tobacco
in this vicinity of late. W. E. Fiskesold
at 13c; the Thompson Brothers, 18 .icres
at 17c; Frank Thompson, 8 acres at i6c;
Mr. Lord, 11 acres at iSc. "

Sunderland: "The large growers of
this town visited on New Year's day to
look over the shade growing of tobacco.
C M. Hubbard, who grew 3 acres last
yeat, will increase the acreage four or
five times, devoting his whole growing to
that grade of tobacco. "

Vernon: "I have the following sales
to report: F. W. Johnson. 2 acres at i ic;
C. H. Newton, 3 acres at 8c ; Frank Scott,
3 acres at loc; J. H. Frost, i acte at lie;
H. Jaqueth, 1 acre at ioc;T. 1".. Stock-
well, 2>i acres at lie, all in bundle.
The buyers names I have not learned."

KDGKRTON, WIS.
Aside of getting the warehouse hand-
ling of the crop into full operation, there

is but little doii g about tlie local tobacco
markets of the slate. Work now has
been started at about all the contem-
plated packing points, with the prospect
of a long season of warehouse handling.
Soon every >hing will be woi king smoothly
with the thousands of hands employed
throughout the tobacco district.

Buying of either old or new goods has
not been resumed much in any locality
since the holidays.

While receiving has hardly yet reached
its height, deliveiies have been ample
for all needs so far. The tobacco is
coming to the warehouses in fairly good
packing condition, though some lots con-
taining shed bum and wet were the
cause of deductions in settlements.
These cases, however, are exceptions to
the rule. The farmers are still busy with
stripping, but the work will soon be
finished when a general scramble will
ensue for delivery.

No new features have devoloped in the
cured leaf market to vary the monotony
of a quiet trade.

THE CONTINUING SCARCITY of HAVANA TOBACCO.

By Sol Hamhurcjek, of Hamburger Bros. & Co.

The scarcity throughout 1902 of Cuban
tobacco deemed suitable for the needs of
American manufacturers of cigars, was
due to the scarcity of rain in the Vuelta
Abajo and Partidos sections of the Ishind
during the growing season. The crop
grown under these conditions produced
a short leaf, both in the wrapper and the
filler portions. Throughout the entire
buying season of 1902, those who went
to Havana in search of le?if found what
they wanted very hard to get at the right
prices, and it is a fact known to every
importer of Havana tobacco that last year
it was much easier to sell to manufac-
turers who had themselves gone to Cuba
on a purchasing errand than it was to sell
to those who never go to Cuba. The
former knew exactly what the condition
of affairs at Havana was, whereas the
latter were disposed to be incredulous
when told that the tobaccos they were in
search of were hard for the importers to
get I daresay the experience of every
importer of Havana tobacco was the same
in 1902 that mine was: We all sold to
manufacturers who in ordinary times pur-
chase their supplius directly from the
packers in the city of Havana.

All recent advices from the tobacco
growing sections in the Vuelta Abajo
and Partidos agree that the present grow-
ing crop has suffered from too much rain.
Serious rain-lalls in Cuba are called • tor-
rential rains" down there and such rain-
falls have been frequently mentioned of

late in the reports of the Weather Bureau
of the Island, I note also that The To-
bacco World's correspondent in Havana
mentions the fact that in one recent rain
storm 10,000,000 plants were utterly de-
stroyed. This is not a very large num-
ber in the grand total of the plants now
growing in the Vuelta Abajo and Partidos,
but if the planters who are the losers by
this calamity are too poor to replace the
lost plants by new seedling it means so
much of a setback to the crop that will
be on sale next fall and winter in Havana.
The American manufacturers who are
most seriously threatened with embarrass-
ment in their operations are those who
manufacture clear Havana cigars, and
the finer the sizes the more serious the
embarrassment. The clear Havava ci-
gar industry in the United States has
shown of late years a steady growth and
its curtailment at this time when the
country is so generally prosperous would
be no slight misfortune. When the to-
bacco crops in Cuba are plentiful the
United States can easily use from 180,-
000, to 200,000 bales of Cuban tobacco,
Vueltas, semi-Vueltas, Partidos and
Remedios, each year. Last year the total
importations were, 1 think, only about
132,000 bales. There is a possibility
that if the rains continue to be destruc-
tive the Cuban planters will not be able
to grow enough tobacco in 1903 to give
the American market even as much as
they sent us last year.

THE ONLY WOMAN CIGAR PEDDLER.

There is but one place in Greater New
York that can boast of a woman cigar
vender, and that is West Washington
Market. She tiavels from stand to stand
with three or four boxes under her arm,
and has the wholesale butchers for her
regular customers. She is a pretty woman
perhaps twenty-five years of age, and
dresses in the latest style. When the
butchers get to work at 4 o'clock in the
morning they find the cigar woman there
ready to serve them and to give each one
a smile with each purchase.

The same woman has been doing busi-
ness in the market for six or seven years,
and only once in all that time has any
one made an effort to enter into compe-
tition with her. That was about a yeai'
ago, when a woman who looked enough
like her to be her twin sister made her
appearance. This woman was dressed
exactly like the original. It was a clear
case of trying to get business under false

Fusion lA Havana Explained.

The news published this week in our
letter from Havana, January i, is of a
most interesting and important charac-
ter. It not only makes clear the relation
of Don Gustavo Bock to the tobacco
trust, but it indicates the plan and scope
of the new Cuban Land and Leaf De-
partment Company, which takes over
the 35,000 acres of tobacco producing
land in the Remates district, purchased
by Senor Beck in 190a. -

Don Gustavo Bock has been since
1887 the resident manager in Havana
of the Henry Clay and Bock & Co.
Lt'd, the English syndicate which in that
year bought out the Henry Clay and
Bock & Co. factories, and of which Baron
Ebury of Moor Park, the head of the
aristocratic Grosvenor family of England,
has of late years been the claimant.

After the formation in 1900 of the Ha-
vana Commercial Company, the Amer-
ican corporation, of which Harry B.
HoUins, the New Yofk banker, was the
head, stories of a coalition between the
Henry Clay and Bock & Co. corpora-
tion and the Havana Commercial Co.
were rife. These stories were largely
concerned with the future of Mr. Bock.
It was thought for awhile that an agree-
ment would be made between the two
companies, but the plan fell through be-
cause Mr. Bock would not consent to
any terms that did not have him the
supreme head in Cuba.

In 1902, when the #35,000,000 Ha-
vana Tobacco Co. of III First avenue,
absorbed the Havana Commercial Co.
it also obtained virtual control of the
Henry Clay and Bock & Co. corporation,
but the exact terms made with the cor-
poration have never been clearly defined
to thic public. It is known, however,
that Baron Ebury and his associate di-
rectors in London retained toward the
corporation the same dominacy as before,
and that Mr. Bock continued to hold his
old job in Cuba.

Now that Mr. Bock has turned over
his lands to the Cuban Land and Im-
provement Co., which is also by succes-
sion to the Havana Commercial Co. the
present owner of the valuable Fernan-
dito Gonzalez plantations in the Vuelta
Abajo purchased by Francisco (^arcia
for the H. C. Co. in 1900, the Cuban
Land and I^af Improvement Co. is the
largest of all the ' ' poor tobacco farmers' '
of Cuba of whom the United States has
heard much during the discussion of the
Reciprocity Treaty. A 20 per cent, re-
duciion on the present rates of ieaf to-
bacco would net to this particular ' • poor
farmer" a very handsome interest on it
$52,000,000 of capital.

The talk in New York, on Monday
last, was that the first move made by the
trust upon the completion of the plans
in Cuba as above outlined was to cut off
every independent jobber in the I'nited
States and in Havana, those who cater to
the American trade as well as those who
cater to Europe, and in this second class
are included all the well-known commis-
sion houses of Havana, from the cigars
manufactured by the Henry Clay and
Bock & Co. and the old Havana Com-
mercial Co. Hereafter, so the gossips
say, the only importer of these brands
will be the newly organized corporation
of Acker, Merrall & Condit, with possi-
bly some sort of a working arrangement
with Park & Tilford. All other impor-
ters, among them such well known con-
cerns as the Waldorf-Astoria SegarCo.,
G. S. Nicholas, and B. VVassermann
will now have to buy of Acker, Merrall
& Condit or import the brands of some
one or more of the thirty-six large inde-
pendent cigar manufacturing houses of
Havana, such as Rabell, Costa & Co.,
Behrans & Co., Calixto Lopez & Co.,
H. Upmann & Co. and others. In other
words there is going to be a very inter-
esting fight. The Havana manufactu-
rers will probably come out of the strug-
gle sound and whole, just as the cigar
manufacturers of the United States have
come outoi the struggle which they have
had during the past two years with the
same giant competitor.

There is a possibility that the talk in
New York as to the cutting off of inde-
pendent importers of cigars is in advance
of the fact. The companies at 1 1 1 Fifth
avenue do not usually announce their
plans with suddenness. A list of the
brands manufactured by the Henry Clay
and Bock & Co. Lt'd, and the old Ha
vana Commercial Co. is made up about
as follows : Henry Clay Aquila de Oro,
Estrella (of Cortina, Gonzales & Co.),

Among the well-known brands manu-
factured by the independent cigar man-
ufacturers of Havana, arc the following:
H. Upmann, Sol. Luis Max, Romeo y
Julieta, Carina, Partagas, and numerous
others.

A number of Americans who are
thoroughly familiar with conditions as
they exist in Havana, and with the tem-
per of the people there predict that the
fight between the trust and the inde-
pendents will develop on the part of the
latter resources that in quiet times are
dormant. The old Spanish fighing blood
is getting up and the Spanish are good
fighters even if we did lick them in '98.
Don Gustavo Bock is a power in Cuba,
it is true, but so is H. Upmann, and
Mr. Upmann is credited by certain of
his American friends with having said,
more than once, that he would not only
never sell out to a trust but that if any
trust came bothering him he would give
it all the fight it wanted. Mr. Upmann
is known to be a man of his word and if
he said the things which have been ac-
cribed to him the smokers of imported
cigars are going to see a very beautiful
fight. Mr. Upmann is a millionaire
many times over. Other well-known
Cubans who may be ranked among the
opposition tu the trust are the Marquez
de Rabell, Luis Marx, Adolfo Moelier,
Garcia y Ca., Leslie Pantin, Walter
Himmel, Cano y Hermano, Jorge, P.
Castenada & Co., Silveira & Co., Manuel
Mencudez Parra, P'redinco Hauriadel dt

Alleged Evils in New York City
CigCLr FaLctoriea.

New York, Jan. 17, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

In the sixth annual report of the
Alumnae Settlement, of 446 East 72d
street, published Jan. i, 1903, I note a
rather prejudiced description of cigar fac-
tory conditions in New York city made
by Jane E. Robbins, M. D. Being my-
self the proprietor of one of the large
shops of this city I ask you to be so kind
as to find space for Dr. Robbins' paper
in your special department of The To-
bacco World, where it is certain to be
read by the thousands of members of the
trade who weekly read what you have to
say even when they are too busy to read
anything else. Dr. Robbins does the ci-
gar manufacturers of New York city a
grave injustice in representing that they
do not uniformly obey the law as to venti-
lation and cleanliness.

I think it would be well to ask Dr.
Robbins to name the factortes in which
theconditionsprevail which she describes.
But here is Dr. Robbins' paper which
speaks for itself: Employer.

CIGARNAKING

■ A R«po>< of an Inveatigation tnade for
the Alli»j»cc Cmployovent Bureau.

Jane E. Robbins, M. D.

Cigarmaking was formerly carried on
in tenement houses, where the whole
family — sometimes including even chil-
dren, seven and eight years of age — took
part in the work. The tenement-house
manufacture of cigars has been largely
done away with, through the introduction
of suction tables and the bunch-making
machine, and we now find the cigar-
makers at work in factories, some of
which are very large, and employ several
hundred or a thousand "hands," The
workers are Bohemians, Italians and
Russian Jews, and ^len^ women and
girls are employed.

On the ground floor of most of the fac-
iories one finds "the strippers" and
* 'bookers" at work, getting the tobacco
ready for the cigartnakerS. They^ sue
generally women and girls who have not
been long in this country; "Greeners,"
they call themselves. There will be
found, perhaps, a hundred and fifty of
them in one room. They are paid by the

day, and the work is carried on under
needlessly bad conditions. The law re-
quires two hundred and Hfiy cubic feet
of air space for each worker. This is far
too little; five hundred cubic feet would
be none too mtich. To make matters
worse, the law says nothing as to where
this air space shall be, and as it is con-
venient for the foreman, who oversees
the work, to have the girls near together,
they are often crowded in one end of the
room, while the "cubic feet of air space"
required by law is at the other end of the
room, and is occupied by tobacco which
emits a rank, overpowering odor.

It is a matter of convenience to have
the tobacco near at hand, but considera-
tion of the welfare of the employees sug-
gei^ts at once that the tobacco should be
stored in the cellar, and brought up only
when needed. The law should be modi-
fied so as to require a certain air space
around each worker, and so prevent the
huddling together of the women. The
air of the room seems to the casual visitor
intolerably stifling. The windows are
generally not opened, or opened very
little, both because the tobacco must not
be allowed to become dry, and because,
it the windows are opened, some of the
workers are sure to object to the draft.
There should be a law requiring artificial
ventilation by means of an exhaust fan.
The present law applies only to factories
where there is dust-making machinery,
and it should be extended to include all
dust-making employments. In the rooms
where the tobacco is being stripped, the
air is so laden wiih tobacco dust that any
one coming in from the outside air is
obliged to cough almost constantly.
Where the hygiene is so bad, the women
naturally are pale, and appear to be in
poor physical condition. They are al-
ways spoken of with pity by the girls em-
ployed at either cigarmaking or bunch-
making. They go to work at a quarter
past 7, and stop work at 6. They are
seldom paid more than five or six dollars
a week, and their wages are sometimes
as low as three dollars a week. The
strippers are not admitted to the Cigar-
makers' Union.

The bunchmakers generally pay five
dollars to be taught their trade, and they
are from three to six weeks in learning it.
The cigarmakers pay ten dollars, and
they are also several weeks in learning.
The bunchmakers and cigarmakers are
paid by the thousand cigars. The skill
of the girls varies greatly. Some of
them are able to earn only four or five
dollars a week after years of work, while
others give, as their weekly wage, eight,
twelve, or even fifteen dollars. One girl,
who sometimes earned ten dollars a week,
has been employed only a year at the
work. The first wage paid is sometimes
as low as a dollar a week, while i|uicker
girls are able to earn four dollars during
their first week. On the cheapest grade
of work the girls work independently at
the suction tables ; on a little better grade
of work one cigarmaker or two cigar-
makers work with a bunchmaker, who
gets the tobacco in shape for the final
covering put on by the cigarmakers.

The first observation made in visiting
the factories is that the girls in their
haste put the cigars in their mouths to
bite off the ends. They are provided
with knives, but a girl finds it quicker to

use her teeth than to stop to pick up a
knife. To make a fair wage the speed at
which she works must be very great, and
as a result of her haste she will often sit
all day with her mouth full of bits of to-
bacco. This is not only a hardship to
the girl, but since she bites off the end
the smoker puts into his mouth, the
possible danger to him from the hygienic
point of view does not need comment.

The general conditions of the cigar
factories could be improved by pressure
brought to bear upon those employers
who do not of themselves feel inclined to
look after the best interests of their em-
ployes. The floors in some of the fac-
tories are extremely dirty and the rooms
are very dingy. In one factory the in-
spector ordered that the walls be white-
washed, and one of the girls said later
that it was much easier to work after the
room had been made lighter and more
cheerful. On cloudy days in some of the
factories it is necessary to burn gas, and
the heat from the gas adds to the discom-
fort caused by the smell of the tobacco in
the unventilated rooms. There are no
dressing rooms for the employes, a small
space where the clothing is hung is simply
partitioned off from the main room.

The cigarmakers are allowed consider-
able latitude as to hours. At noon they
often eat their lunch hastily without leav-
ing their tables and begin to work again
as soon as they have eaten. It would be
much better if there were a compulsory
intermission of an hour at noon, especi-
ally if this time could be taken to venti-
late the rooms. The workers often
"knock off" before five in the afternoon
too tired to work any longer. Some of
them take occasional weeks off and are
re-employed when they apply for work.
The cigarmaking occupation is not yet
over-crowded, a good cigarmaker can al-
ways obtain work and at times there are
not enough workers to answer the demand
for labor.

A very small percentage of the girls
who work at the suction tables, perhaps
not more than two per cent, belong to
the unions. The men and women em-
ployed on the higher grades of work, and
the men employed as packers are gener-
ally members of the unions. The Inter-
national Cigarmakers' Union is large and
well organized. Besides the mutual pro-
tection it affords to the workers, it has
valuable insurance features, and many of
the cigarmakers belong to the various
unions because of the sick benefit and the
death benefit

The two most tangible evils discovered
in the investigation of the cigar factories
are the working overtime and the care-
lessness in regard to light and air neces-
sary for the health of the employes. Our
present law in regard to hours of work
is a good one, and would entirely prevent
the wording overtime if the women and
girls would refuse to work when asked to
do so. Their need is so great however,
that they work of their own free will
beyond the hours permitted by law, and
then, of course, they refuse to go into
court to testify against their employers.
The law is therefore a difficult one to
enforce, but it stands as a barrier against
excessive overwork. Further legislation
in regard to the hygiene of the factories
is imperatively needed. It was necessary
to compel the employers to provide fire-

escapes to protect the lives of their
employes, and they should be compelled
by law to protect also the health of those
who aie powerless to protect themselves.

COMMENT.

In complying with the request of my
correspondent I think I do my full duty
in the premises. If Dr. Robbins to whom
a copy of this issue of The Tobacco World
will be sent cares to say anything further
I assure her of a very courteous hearing.

The Tobacco Loving Ladies of the
White House.

Washington, D. C, Jan. 18, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

The fondness for snufT of the famous
Dolly Madison was entertainingly referred
to in Mr. Frank Lmge's chapter of the
Comic History of Tobacco, and Mr,
Morris Theobald in his chapter of the
same enjoyable serial made the readers
of The Tobacco World acquainted anew
with the fact that Mrs. Andrew Jackson
loved the pipe. Was there not a third
lady of the White House who loved to-
bacco? It seems to me I have read that
the wife of Andrew Johnson smoked a
corn cob in that historic mansion during
her husband's incumbency of the Presi-
dential office. For the information of a
little circle here will you please state the
facts and oblige Arthur Way.

ANSWER.

Mrs. Andrew Johnson, did, in fact,
smoke in the White House the corn-cob
pipe which she had learned to love in her
home in the mountains of Tennessee,
but Mrs. Johnson was only the nominal
misstress of the executive mansion. The
real lady of the White House throughout
President Johnson's administration was
his eldest daughter, Mrs. Martha Patter-
son, and she was one of the sweetest
most dignified and sensible women that
ever lived. She did not smoke.

Robinson Crusoe's Tobacco.

Laramie City, Wyo. ,Jan. 5, 1903.

Dear Medicine Man :

In my little boy's copy of Robinson

Crusoe, which I presented to him at

Christmas, I miss an old favorite, namely

Robinson's panygerie on tobacco. Can

you conveniently give it to me.*

KOYKBNDAL.

ANSWER^

Following is the extract for which my
correspondent asks:

June 28, 1660.

Now, as the apprehension of the re-
turn of my distemper terrified me very
much, it occurred to my thought that the
Brazilians take no physic but their to-
bacco for almost all distempers; and I
had a piece of a roll of tobacco in one
of the chests, which was quite cured, and
some also that was green and not quite
cured.

I went, directed by Heaven, no doubt,
for in this chest I found a cure both for
soul and body. I opened the chest, and
found what I look for, viz., the tobacco;
and as the few books I had saved lay
there too, I took out one of the Bibles,
which I mentioned before, and which,
to this time, I had not found leisure, or
so much as inclination to look into; I :
say, I took it out and brought both that .
and the tobacco with me to the table.

What use to make of the tobacco, I
knew not, as to my distemper, or whether
it was good for it or no, but I tried several
experiments with it, as if I was resolved
it should hit one way or other. I first
took a piece of a leaf, and chewed it in
my mouth, which, indeed, at first almost
stupefied my brain, the tobacco being
green and strong, and I had not been
much used to it; then 1 took some and
steeped it an hour or two in some rum,
and resolved to take a dose of it when I
lay down ; and lastly, I burnt some upon
a pan of coals, and held my nose close
over the smoke of it as long as 1 could
bear it, as well for the heat as the virtue
of it, and I held out almost to suffoca-
tion.

In the interval of this operation, I took
up the Bible and began to read; but my
head was too much disturbed with the
tobacco to bear reading, at least at that
time; only, having opened the book
casually, the first words that occurred to
me were these: "Call on me in the day
of trouble, and I will deliver; and thou
shah glorify me, "

The words were very apt to my case,
and made some impression upon my
thoughts at the time of reading them,
though not so much as they did after-
wards; for, as for being delivered, the
word has no sound, as 1 may say, to me.
The thing was so remote, so impossible,
in my apprehension of things, that I be-
gan to say, as the children of Israel did
when they were promised tlesh to eat,
"Can God spread a table in the wilder-
ness?" So I began to say: "Can God
himself deliver me from this place?"
And as it was not for many years that
any hope appeared, this prevailed very
often upon my thoughts. But, however,
the words made a great impression upon
me, and 1 mused upon them very often.
It grew now late, and the tobacco had,
as I said, dozed my head so much that I
inclined to sleep, so 1 left my lamp burn-
ing in the cave, lest 1 should want any-
thing in the night, and went to bed. But
before I lay down, I did what I had
never done in all my life. — I kneeled
down and prayed to God to fulfill the
promise to me, that if I called upon him
in the day of trouble, he would deliver
me. After my broken and imperfect
prayer was over, I drunk the rum in
which I had steeped the tobacco, which
was so strong and rank of the tobacco
that, indeed, I could scarce get it down.
Immediately upon this I went to bed,
and 1 found presently it flew up into my
head violently; but I fell into a sound
sleep and waked no more till, by the
sun, it must necessarily be near three
o'clock in the afternoon the next day;
nay, to this hour, I am partly of the
opinion that I slept all the next day and
night, and till almost three the day after;
for, otherwise, I know not how I should
lose a day out of my reckoning in the
days of the week, as it appeared, some
years after, I had done; for if I had lost
it by crossing and recrossing the Line,
I should have lost more than a day ; but

in my account it was lost, and I never
knew which way.

Be that, however, one way or other,
when I awaked I found myself exceed,
ingly refreshed, and my spirits lively
and cheerful. When I got up I was
stronger than I was the day before, and
my stomach better, for I was hungry;
and, in short, 1 had no fit the next day,
but continued much altered for the better.

LANCASTER LEAF BOARD MEETS.

A meeting of the Lancaster Leaf To-
bacco Board of Trade, was held on Mon-
day evening last to adopt new by-laws
and constitution and transact other busi-
ncss. The following committees were
appointed by President Skiles:

Finance Committee — H. H. Miller,
Walter S. Bare, M. M. Fry.

Arbitration Committee — I. H. Weaver,
Joseph Goldberg, J. R. Bricker.

Transportation Committee — B. M.
Mowery, Phares W. Fry, Wm. DeHavea

Resolutions were passed as follows:
The Lancaster County Leaf Tobacco
Board of Trade is heartily in sympathy
with the objects to be attained by the
Cigar Dealers' Association of America,
and pledge them the support of our
organization.

TOBACCO GKOWERS MEET.

JanusLry Meeting of the Lancaster County
Growers* Associaition.

The January meeting of the Lancaster
County Tobacco Growers' Association
was held in Lancaster, on Monday after-
noon, last. President B. Ezra Herr pre-
sided, and there was a large attendance
of members.

M. L. Greider reported to the meeting
the result of the shade grown Sumatra.

"Rib rot and green mould" in 1902
tobacco was discussed by the members.

Mr. Greider said he examined several
crops and found some little rib rot, but
considerable green mould. He said the
cause was that the tobacco was planted
late and was too green when cut

Mr. Bricker attributed the mould to
the lack of drying winds. During the
entire season there was not a west wind.

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET.

Ihe leaf market during the past week
has been about the same as last week,
to-wit: only fairly good. The demand
has continued for Pennsylvania Broad-
leaf B's, sales usually being in small lots,
however. There has been some demand
for Wisconsin and about the usual trans-
actions have taken place in Connecticut,
Sumatra and Havana. It will most likely
be several weeks before any large trans-
actions will be recorded. Taken all in
all the leaf people are doing a fairly
good business and few complaints are
heard.

C. F. Beimdieke will erect a new
cigar factory building at Ocono-

and now it is said that the Acker,
Merrall & Condit corporation is
only one more arm stretched out by
the capitalists who have their head-
quarters at 1 1 1 Fifth Avenue in the
same offices with James B. Duke
and his lieutenants The theory
upon which the gossip base this al-
legation is something like this:
Acker, Merrall & Condit have long
been distributers of cigars manufac-
tured by the American Cigar Com-
pany; when the American Cigar
Co. was organized, early in 1901,
Hon George J Smith was its gen-
eral manager and Harry J. Luce its
treasurer; both are believed still to
be large stock holders in the Ameri
can Cigar Co. and its allied corpora-
tions, although neither now holds
office in any of them.

Whether this theory is correct in
fact or not, it is obvious that a
chain of fine retail grocery stores
handling cigars and other tobacco
products would be an outlet of very
great value to any big manufactur-
ing concern.

* *

The American Protective Tariff
League at its annual meeting in
New York on January 15, adopted
resolutions declaring that recipro
city is competitive products by
treaty is unsound in principle, per
nicious in practice, and is contrary
alike to the principle of protection ,
to the fair treatment of domestic
produces, and to friendly relations
with foreign countries.

The resolutions also declare that
reciprocity is neither ethical nor
economic, since it seeks to benefit
some industries by the sacrifice of
others, which is the essence of in-
justice. As at present advocated,
reciprocity is a product of favorit-
ism. It would tend to array in-
dustry against industry and section
against section at home, and foment
industrial retaliation and political
antagonism abroad. Such a policy
would open the door to the grossest
favoritism in legislation, promote the
growth of a corrupting lobby, and
increase the power of debasing boss-
ism.

"Such a policv has no justifica-
tion in economies, statesmanship,
ethics or good politics True Ameri-
can policy is protection of all the
opportunities and possibilities of
the American market for American
enterprise, and fair, equal treatment
for all other countries, namely, the
equal right to compete for American
business in the American market by
the payment of the full equivalent
of American wages. This alone is
honest protection, good republican-
ism, and the true American policy.

"Concerning this resolution, An-
drew Cornegie said:

"I think the resolution is admira-
ble. We will make several enemies
for every one we favor. The policy
of the Fathers is the time Republi-
can policy; the friend of all nations,

the ally of none; equal justice to
all, favoritism to none."

1794, which has been somewhat spas-

general thing it was a thing of innocuous
desuetude— and that is where the dealers
referred to want to put it. The outcome
of the case will be watched with interest

It is safe to say that if the Retailers'
Association of Philadelphia conducts its
affairs in a proper manner and continues
a meritorious movement, that it will re-
ceivethe continued influence and prestige
of the cigar manufacturers of this city.

While it may be that a lew of the Phil-
adelphia manufacturers are not specially
interested in the local market, yet the
fact that they are loaning the local as-
sociation their influence and moral sup-
port is very highly commendable.

LIBERMAN'S UTEST SUCTION MACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cntting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

pected. The unusual holiday demand
for cigars somewhat lessened the stocks
of leaf ordinarily carried by many of the
large manufacturers and has tempted
them to buy in small quantities until they
can estimate fairly well on the future. It
will not be long, it is said, before the
leaf market will see some brisk transac-
tions. Good reports come of brisk busi-
ness in the West and it is in that territory
that many Philadelphia-made cigars are
prime favorites.

AS TO "EXECUTIVE" MEETINGS.

Said an officer connected with the
Philadelphia Retailers' Association : "We
deem it prudentto hold our meetings open
to members only because there are many
matters affecting our interests alone that
it is far better for us to discuss and settle
just among ourselves. False reports and
rumors will thus be prevented and again,
it is hardly fair to let our friend, the
enemy, know of everything we do. Some
business matters, of necessity, must be
kept to ourselves in order that given re-
sults may be accomplished. Publicity
would thwart the very object we sought
to attain."

All of which is very sensible and |
right, too.

DOWN TO BUSINESS AGAIN.
A visit to many of the leaf houses and
cigar manufactories brings forth the fact
that almost all of the salesmen have gone
forth on the road for 1903 business, and
that they are doing as well as can be ex-

ing additional attention to their growing
cigar department and now have out a new
clear Havana cigar called the Prima
Rosa. It is to be made in 42 sizes,
ranging in price from $60 to |6oo. The
new salesmen put on the road last fall,
have been doing good business and will
be retained for 1903 business.

GOOD JUDGE OF CIGARS. TOO.

Ex-Judge J. W. Westcott and F. D.
Weaver, an attorney- at law. both well-
known Camdenites, are among the in-
corporators of the recently organized C.
L Peterson Cigar Co. of Camden and
East Orange, N. J. If the company
makes cigars like the ex-judge smokes,
the cigars will be all right and well worth
smoking.

A Prosperous Store in new New York

The Dc Lara ci^ar store of \\ il-
liam R. Turner, at 2325 liroadway
is one of the prosperous cijjar storesi
of that section of the metropolis
which is very properly called uew
'^ew York. It is Ux-aled on the west
^ide of Broadway, between ILi^hty-
^Rurth and lu^hty-fifth streets, and
was established six years aj;o. It
was successful from the start.
Broadway, from iMfty-ninth street
■to Fort Lee ferry, used to be called
-Ihe Northern I'oulevard. and up to
a few years ap^o was practically a
desert, <1otted here and there by
some old-time residences that dated
.back to colonial days. To-day. how-
iever, the city north of Fifty-ninth
t street and west of Central Park is
•<the site of many of the finest private
I dwellings in the Tnited States and
a great number of highest class fam-
Mly hotels. The retail cipjar stores in
fthis section have all a very wealthy
^class of patrons to dejuMid u]>on.
and those who ])atronize the He
Lara store are amonj? the most dis-
criminatinjif lovers of tobacco to be
found anywhere in all New York.
One of its show cases is filled en-

tirely with the finest sizes of im-
oorted cij^ars, such sizes as retail at
irom 50 cents to $1 each. Most
of Mr. Turner's patrons (iroj) in to
make their purchases in the evening
on their way home or in the mom-
injj on their way to their places of
business. The stock he carries will
j^ive an excellent idea of the tastes
of his customers, in imported ci-
jT^ars liis leaders are La Imperial,
.\fricaua. Henry Clay. La Carolina,
I'den. IVdro. Murias, I'.ock. Man-
uel ( larcia and .\nti(|uedad. His
Tampa leaders are IKiiry the
Fourth and Lilla Mia. His New
i'ork made clear Havana leaders
are the Don Rodrigo and l*'l Arabe,
of (ibio &' R(nira. This famous
firm also manufactures for Mr.
Turner his nickel leaders — De Lara
and Key West Rival.

In Egyptian cigarettes the Con-
dax and Egyptian Nameless of E.
A. Condax & Co.. are especially
successful in pleasing Mr. Turner's
patrons. • Mr. Turner carries a well-
selected stock of fine smokers' ar-
ticles. The interior of his store is
as pleasing as its exterior.

OPPOSED TO RECIPR O CIT F.

THE NATIONAL LEAF BOARD AND THE CLEAR HAVANA

MANUFACTURERS ACT.

The following communication
from the National Cigar Leaf To-
bacco Association and the Havana
Cigar Manufacturers' Association
of the United States have been ad-
dressed to Hon. Shelby M. Cullom,
chairman of the Committee on For-
eign Relations of the United States

Senate :

New York, Jan. 12, 1903.

Hon. Shelby M. Cullom.
Chairman Committee on Foreign
Relations, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir :— We hereby enter our
protest against the passage of the
Cuban Reciprocity Treaty in its
present form; because a reduction
of 20 per cent, from the present tar-
iff rates applied equally to cigars
and tobacco, will not benefit the
Cuban producer of tobacco, and will
benefit solely the American Tobac-
co Trust, which controls 80 per
cent, of the cigars made in Cuba.

We ask that the provisions of the
treaty be amended so as to provide
for a uniform rate of duty on leaf
tobacco, thus increasing the demand
for the product of the Cuban grow-
er, thcrebv enhancing the value of
his product, abolishing the vex-
atious difficulties with which the
trade here is confronted in the Cus-
tom House, and making for a con-
tinuance of independence in the
manufacture of cigars, insuring the
fact that all manufacturers will be
placed on an equal basis in the pur-
chase of their raw material.

Under the j^rcsent conditions the
Clear Havana industry in this c<)un-
try is certain to make great strides
in the near future with the abolition
of the present differential rate on
leaf tobacco imported from Cuba —
the most difficult problem that is to
be taken into consideration by the
manufacturer in the purchase of his
raw material. The industry will of
its own impulse advance so rapidly
as to insure great and continuous
prosperity for the producer of the
Cuban leaf essential to this type of
cigars. Facilitating the use of Cu-
ban tobacco by the indei>endent
American manufacturer can do
much more for the prosperity of the
Cuban grower than the removal of
20 per cent, of the duty on tobacco.
Increasing the number of customers
for Cuban tobacco is the one sure
means of enhancing its value.

We urge that it should be further
amended so that there be no reduc-
tion in the duty on cigars, firstly,
because the whole benefit of such
reduction will go to the product of
the American Tobacco Trust, which
controls the output of Cuba. There
are fifteen thousand cigarmakers in
Havana whose wages might pos-
sibly be increased by the proposed
reduction in duty. There are more
than fifteen thousand retailers of
cigars in the cities of New York and
Chicago alone whose removal from
business, now one of the apparent
plans of the Trust, will be material-
ly hastened by the passage of such
legislation.

Secondly, the proposed 20 per
cent, reduction means a reduction
of $1.85 per thousand on cigars
made in this country of all Havana
tobacco, and of $12.00 per thou-
sand on cigars imported from Cuba.
We make of this grade 250.000,000
annually, and Cuba makes 200,000,-
000 annually. Cuba's output is con-
trolled by a few owners. Ours is
divided among thousands of inde-
pendent factories.

Wc employ, of course, more
workmen in the production of these
cigars ; we pay higher wages. Is it
wise to disturb these conditions
without even the possibility of bene-
fiting the people of Cuba, and with
a certainty of injuring American
citizens engaged in the cigar manu-
facturing business in this country?
We urge upon Congress the im-
portance of adopting a program
which will insure to the tobacco
trade of this country permanent
peace. We have been disturbed con-
stantly by the agitation growing out
of the effort to conform to an un-
cn forcible law — the attempt to col-
lect differential rates of duty on
Havana leaf tobacco. The trade
has been called upon to sacrifice its
interests in the case of Porto Rico.
The agitation on behalf of Cuban
reciprocity has upset the trade for
over a year ; in fact, ever since the
war with Spain, and now a bill has
passed the House providing that
only 25 per cent, of the Dingle)
rates shall be imposed ujwn cigars
and tobaccos from the Pliilippine
Islands. We know that the ques-
tion of duty on Havana tobacco can
never be definitely settled until the
principle of a uniftrm rate he con
ceded. We ask that this concession
( e made now.

Hon. Shelby M. Collom,

Foreign; Relations Committee,

U. S. .Senate, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:— If the Cat>an treaty
is to be adopted, a provision for a
uniform rate of duty on Cuban Leaf
Tobacco is an absolute necessity. A
uniform duty of even twenty-five
cents per pound cannot equalize the
material reduction of twenty per
cent, of the duty on cigars as now
proposed, which latter reduction
will solely inure to the benefit of the
.\merican Tobacco Trust and work
serious injury to the Cuban tobacco
grower, as well as the independent
' American manufacturer.

well spent. The delegates work<Kl in har-

The convention was <'alle<l to order by
Pres. Israel H. Hart on the morning of
January 1.^. About 200 delegates were
on hnnil from the principal cities of the
East. Middle. West and Northwest. Kd-
waril Kolnian. President of the Chicago
Dealers' Association was elected tem-
porary chairman. The speech of wel-
come by I. Latzar was received with
ardent applause.

Among the more important topics and
subjects touched upon by Mr. Latr.ar
were the following:

"The whole country is arousiM against
the trusts: the trusts of our trade and
of all trades: the trusts which are the
oppressors of Individualism and of inde-
pendence; the trusts which have become
the curse of this age. You have the
honor of being the pion«H'rs of concertetl
action against one of the most |»owtrtul
combinations of capital, the toba<<o
and cigar trust. Your delilH>rations. your
plans of action and the results to flow
therefrom are being watch«'<l to-day by
every thinking American citizen.

There is no class distinction among
the people opposing the trusts. The op-
position is a movement by, for. and of
the p«H)ple. • * * Men and women
of every profession, all feel alike the iron
grip of this invisible creation of modern
wea'tb. Once awakj-ncd to the deadly
danger of this fo«» of the individual,
this enemy of our great Uepublic. every
citizen will arise and the earth will
tremble with the indignation of the
masses. There will bo one shout, "down
with all the trusts," and the will of th«>
peojde will be sui>renie.

"If you accomplish the purpose for
which you have come together • ♦ •
you have served your country as the
advance guard of that army which Is to
fight the battle against the enslavement
of mankind by mammon. If you suc-
ceed other lines of business which are
now in danger of being swallowed up
by the trusts will fall into line and fol-
lo^ in your footsteps on to victory.
"YT)U will arouse the consumer by educa-
tion and make him realise the danger

nh
vour <blibefations have but one purpose
In view: The devising of the ways and
niciins to jirevent the tobacco trust
gaining a monopoly of the tobacco in-
dustry. This monopoly, if once con-
summated, means higher pri«es and jHwr-
er goods for the consumer and enormous
profits for the stockholders of the mo-
nopoly. Do not permit yourselves to be
drawn into sectionalism as to headquar-
ters or other matters of local and trivial
import, or into debates respecting^ or-
ganization and self-government. Ele<t
able, active and aggressive leaders.
Bury all questions looking toward dis-
ruption. es|H'cially if presented by those
who in the guise of independent dealers
are but emissaries of the enemy. Kegard
with suspicion him who tries to force
upon von matters other than those for
the common g<M>d of all. He no sticklers
for parliamentary etiquette, but hold
this council of war like veterans training
for a giant struggle."

The following committees were ap-
pointoil: On Constitution and By-Laws,

YORK LEAF MARKET

t

Fairly Active, and the Future Bright—
Trade Notes. Personals, Etc. j

York, Pa., Jan. 19.— Business in the
York leaf tobacco market last week was
fairly active. Although there has been
no indications of a boom since the open-
ing of the new year, yet there i» .lothing
to discourage the dealers; on the («n-
trary, the future looks very bright, and
packers, jobbers, dealers and manufar-
turers are looking forward with inch
anticipation for still greater prosperity
than they enjoyed during llHKi. Tliere
were a number of sales of leaf during
the week, none very large, but so dis-
tributed to show that tobacco is needed
and will be needed in large quantities
during the year. The prices remain lirra
and unchanged.

Owing to the very cold weather that
prevailed last week, the receipts at the
warehouses of tobacco were small. There
is still a quantity of the 1902 < rop in
the growers' hands, who have been lu»ld-
ing off in the hope of higher jtriees.

Some of the cigar manufacturers whose
places of business are located along the
free rural mail delivery n)Utes. me v»ry
much dissatisfied with the service. 'Hieir
greatest "ki<k" is bt'cause they u'ct tiicir
mail on<e a day, and one large manufac-
turer told me it now takes four tlayt* to
get stamps from the York internal reve-
nue ofhce. He says that before the rural
ttiail delivery route was established that
he could order stamps and receive them
Inside of twenty-four hours.

D. H. Minnick. Deputy Revenue Col-
lector, with head(iuarters in this city,
has been notified by the Internal Reve-
nue Commissioner that manufactur«>rs
of tobacco desiring to use stamped tin
foil wrappers may forward estimates of
the amounts they severally desire print-

ed for early "He to him, giving the num-
ber and denomination of the stamps de-

"'T*S Marks, a well known cigar manu-
facturer <.f lOast York, intends to re.irt"
frmn business. He is now offering for
sale his stock of tobacco consisting cf
wrappers, binders and fillers and cigar
moulds, benches. press«'8, tc.

llostetter & Able, the recently . rgnn-
ized leaf tobacco firm, is di.ing a nice
business. They handle all *:'-«'l»';;^;;J
goods, but make a special y of shade
tirown Sumatra leaf in bales.

York retail cigar dealers report »i t-ig
slump in trade since the holidays, ihey
explain the present dullness by <aying
that many of their customers are now
smoking up the cigars they received
from friends as Christmas gifts.

The majority of the buyers thronph-
ont the state are so busily engajjed in
assorting and imekinp their purchases
made several months ago that they are
paying but little attention to the to-
bacco remaining in the hands of the
fanners. There are seventeen ware-
houses assorting in this city, and three
more will start up next week, the new-
ones being .1. Friedman & Co., R. O.
Merrill and J. A. Decker.

There are now over 900 people era-
ployed in the assorting rooms, and that
number will soon be increased to over
1.000. This is the largest force ever
emjiloyed at one time in our warehouses,
and there will be steady work for this
large force for over four months and
probably longer.

It is probable that not far from 40.-

which they started three months ago,
that they expected would take a year to
develop. Robert Donahue, the well-
known man who was with the Union
Ice Comitany for eighteen years, is in
charge of the stand. The projirietors ex-
pect to introduce a brand of cigars of
their own in the near future.

The Anzerais Cigar Stand had the
best Christmas trade experienced in
three years, and this was particularly in
box goods.

Herbert Meyertield. well known in

account of the fact that shinnients
which should have been here for the holi-

pew sales have occurred. The

only reason assigned is that the

growers are asking too high prices,

and the packers are unwilling to

buy unless at certain rather low

figures. So they endeavor to give

the market a black eye, and hard

stories are told in the expectation of

compelling the grower* to sell at

the figures fixed by the packers

The result is that many growers

will assort and pack their own leaf

If the growers will but take hold of

this plan in real earnest, and, when

the packer comes around, make no

terms with him. unless he offers ac

cording to sellers' views, let him

move on. The fact is the stock of

old goods is in limited supply and

every sprig of it is needed, and there

is not enough to go around The

men engaged in the tobacco trade

are largely of foreign birth, and

they are in it to beat the growers

If the grower cannot do the work,

there are plenty of competent men

to assort, pack and sell the leaf.

No doubt there arc honest, fair men

in the packing business, some of

whom the writer knows, but they

seem to be in seme such company

as poor Tray was.

that its importaiK*' vjas fully recognized,
and farmers eugagetl in it systematically

of that period the average annual nielli

av«'rage incn'ase to iilmost 14,(HMi.tKM>

The sup«'riority of the nu'tho<is that

district where the croj) is grown ecpials
this county in any year in the amount

embodies all the recpiisites looked for by
tobacco buyers.

'JtMM* pounds of tobacco. The greatest
yield cui rec-ord was 'JStXI pounds jier

iiion return in favorable seasons. While
the crop is a precarious one. owing to
enemies that attack it from seed time to
harvest, .-lud elements that carry destruc-
tion to it as they do to no other crop,
farmers do not think that, taking it year
in and year out. it is any more uncertain
than the average of farm crops. It costs
nearly $ir»(> to grow an acre of tobacco
in tliis county. 'Hie farmers formerly
never rec-koned cm less than $10() profit

time by no means unusual. As much as

seasons of high markets.

A Brief History of TobaccOiGrowing in
Lancftster County, Pa.

Tlie following brief historical sketch
of tobacco growing in Lancaster, Pa.,
is in respons*' to a recpiest of a tolmcco
importer in Bremen, .Germany :

It was not until 1850 that I>ancaster
county farmers lH>gan to talk of the
cultivation id' tcduicc-o as an important
factor in the domestic- economy of their
district. The theory that tobacco rapid-
ly «>xliaustc>cl the soil and ruined it for
growing any cdher cro|» had been gen-
erally accepted as true among them,
and they were slow to jeopardize the
value of their land by giving it up to
such a crop, although that crop might
yield returns t<>iifold those of anything
that were then growing. Suc-h a result
to soil had iK'en a fac-t to all tobacco-
growing sections, but it remained for
the venturesome and practical Lancaster
c-onnty farmer to demonstrate that the
cle|detiou of soil by tobacc-o culture was
not necessarily a result of that culture,
but was due to careless, unsystematic
farming to the attc>mpt to run a farm
<u' plantation on the mistaken th(>ory
that thc>re is more* in the land than thc>re
is in the man. They cleinonsl rated by
liractical H'siilts that tobacco not only
shcaild not rob the soil, but if iiroperly
treated by fertilizers and wise rotatioti
in crops the land actually should improve
under tcdincc'o cultivation. By the Iwin-
caster county system of tcdiacco raising
the land given up to that eroj) has not
only not reduccvj the cpiality or value of
othc-r faiin products, but has actually
increased them, at the same time adcling

NEW YORK'S PET CHARITY.

The Saturday and Sunday Hospital

Fund is the pet charity ol the merchants

I of New York city, and no class of mer-

\ chants in the metropolis contribute more

I liberally to it than do those who are en-

' gaged in the cigar leaf and tobacco export

business. This year the collections from

these two sources aggregated $1,670. For

I »number of years prior to 1901, Harry J.

I Luce was in the habit of soliciting sub-

I scriptions to the fund from the cigar

manufacturers of the metropolis, but he

was not active in the cause either in 1902

or this year. Doubtless the cigar

manufacturers will be heard from later.

Following is a list of the contributions

of leaf merchants collected by Sigmund

Rosenwald and of those of the tobacco

export merchants collected by William

H. Cummings:

WANTED A SAMPLE CIGAR.

"Let me have a sample of these." '
said a woman after looking critically at
several boxes of cigars which the sales-
man exhibited as ' 'Just the thing for him. ' '

The clerk put one of the cigars in a
paper case and handed it over as if giv-
ing away "sample" cigars was quite
customary.

"That's the way women beat the joke-
smiths," said the salesman, when the
woman had gone out. "You don't see
so many jokes nowadays about women
giving their husbands and beaus bad ci-
gars? Well, that's because they get
samples, just as they do in buying silks
and ribbons, and try them on their men
folks. The 'he' in this case will smoke
that cigar to-night. If he likes it. she
will be in to morrow to buy a box of
them. It struck us as pretty cheeky

when the first request was made of us
for a sample cigar, but now we are quite
used to it and it pays, bringing us quite
a little-steady trade.' ' — New York Times.

factory at Lake Linden. Mich.

Concerning Advertising.
Advertising is a subject given
more or less attention by every
progressive retail cigar dealer. And
the way advertisements should be
written often gives him careful
thought. Some time ago The To-
bacco World suggested the follow-
ing concerning this subject, and
deems it well to reprint it.

One of the commonest faults of
retail advertising lies in the feeble,
halting, indecisive way in which
advertisers tell their story. The
manner is just as important as the
matter. How often we see busi-
ness concerns that carry- splendid
stocks, fine assortments of really
worthy merchandise, advertise
them in such a negative, barren,
spiritless way that few people take
the trouble to read their ads. and
learn of what they are talking. An

"One of the fatal mistakes of the
average businessman is in devoting
his time to personally executing the
unimportant details of his business.
There is nothing that will retard
the growth of a business more than
falling into a habit of daily routine
work of a more or less trifling
nature, and ofttimes when the
work of some of the busiest of our
manufacturers and dealers is ana-
lysed, it is found that a ten or
fifteen dollar employe could equally
as well execute the work now occu-
pying the time of the head of the
concern. It may be taken as a
good business maxim that 'It does
not pay to let work crowd you.' If
work does crowd you. look over
the work and engage competent
help to take the routine part of it
off your shoulders. Don't busy
yourself with the work that others
can be engaged to do. You need

LiBERMAirrLATEST SUCTION iViACHINE

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This i> the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior spiings that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die. and assuring a perfect , clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cat, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence niaintaintd to day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate

Good Reports of the Condition of the
1902 Crop — Old Goods in Small

Demand —Trade News. j

Zanesville, Wis., Jan. 24. 1903.
The larger part of the leaf dealers of
this city are busily engaged in putting
their purchases of 1902 into the cases,
and they are doing that work at a rapid
rate. Over 1,000 persons are employed
in the assorting rooms of Zanesville, and
about 350 cases are packed each day.
The other markets of the State are corres-
pondingly busy. Generally speaking, the
farmeis deliver the tobacco in good shape
and there is but little complaint on the
part of the buyers. There has been less
complaint along this line than for several
years before.

Such of the tobacco as has gone over
the assorting tables shows up remarkably
well. li is in good case, remarkably free
from damage of any kind, is very leafy,
has good colors, is thin in texture, and
gives promise of being one of the best
binder crops ever grown in Wisconsin.

The old goods are still neglected, and
only small lots arc sold. L. B. Carle &
Son report the sale of 100 cases of 1900

and 1901.

Tuesday night the shed of Maurice

Reed burned, causing a loss of $1,200,

with $1,000 insurance.

Sunday afternoon the tobacco workers

formed a union with Thomas Heffernan

I,

as president and William Hughes as
recording secretary.

Klmer Fisher, representing J. Mar.
quissee, of Syracuse. N. Y. was in the
city this week.

Max Meyer and son Bernard, of Rew
York, were in our market this week.

R. M. C. Glenn, head of the leaf de-
partment of the American Cigar Com-
pany, has been in the State this week
looking after the extensive leaf business
of his company in Wisconsin.

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET

The leaf market has been quiet the
past week — this from the lips of the leaf
folks themselves. Yet, they say also,
that quite a number of small sales are
going merrily along and that in the ag-
gregate they amount to quite a good sum
of businesh. l*»ices on all grades hold
firm and the demand is quite general,
no particular grade of leaf having a call.

Why 1903 Will be a Glorious Year.

The cigar inanufiu-ttin'rs of this city
present their coiupliiacnts. tlir<»n>rh this
correspondence, to their l.rethreu in
Pennsylvania and particularly to thos*'
of the Ist Pennsylvania District.

The New Yorkers are as Win of heart
as they are broad of mind. They admit
that the manufacturers of the 1st
Pennsylvania l)istri»t make ex<ellent
cigars. These l>omiuet8 which I thus
have the honor to forward t«) Philadel-
phia 1 have <Mille<l fron> many conver-
sations held recently with tlif IcadiiiK' |
cigar manufacturers of this .ity «»n ^
tho subject of Uie Inisiness done in
1902. Those whom 1 have (jucstioned |
include every manufacturer of promin- I
ence in the metropolis. They a«n-e with
one voice in sayinj; that IJHrj was the '
most glorious year in the history of the
cigar industry of the United States, and
they Hay it was gloriotis be<ause the :
cigars were gloriously good.

Mr. Walter Schiffler, of the Tnited
Cigar Manufacturers, for instance,
says that the enormous increase in the
output of his company in 1 '.»<'-. i»» to
be attributed on the part of the job-
Ikts. retailers and consumers of the
efforts nmde by the United Cigar Maun-
facturers to giv«« to their trade the very
best value ixmsible. and he says that
all the jobbers who have been in the
habit of handling V. C. M. cigars have
made preparations for a larger busi-
ness in llMJii than they did last year.
On its part the United Cigar Manufac-
turers is pb-dged to keep its brands up
to their present high standard.

The veteral I^mis Ash. who will c-ele-
Lrate his seventieth birthday cm the
3rd proximo, and who has been a sue- ,
cessful mannfacttirer of cigars in this ^
city for the past forty-three years, says ^
he has never scmmi on the part of the
ptiblic so lively a sense of merits of our 1
domestic cigars as is manifesting itself
at present. It is the mc»st remarkable- \
thing that has ever c-ome to his notice.
he says, and the greatest is)ssilde com
plim*>nt t<» the hc.nesty and ability «>f the
manufacturers. lie predicts that V.HK',
will be an even more gb)rious year than j
1901! was.

Mr. Theodore Werner, of Theo. Wern-

547,000,000 class. They were, all told,
not over ten of them. Each box con-
tained about six thousand estimates, and
there are said to have been nearly two
thousand of them in the safes of the
company. All such boxes were sealed,
and on Saturday the seals of the ten in
which the closest guesses were known to
be, from the record on the outside of
his guess was each one of them, were cut by Chairman
McGill.

The names of the winners of
the eighteen largest prizes were the
only ones which were certified on Satur-
day. Altogether there are 35,213 prizes
to be awarded, and it will be some time
still before the whole work of ascertain-
ing the names of all the winners will be
completed.

An astonishing fact is the very large
number of people who estimated on a
December output of somewhere around
548, 000, 000. There are probably enough
of them to win all the prizes. Most of
those who sent in estimates appear to be
well informed on the subject of the cigar
industry of the United States, though
among the winners of the more impor-
tant money prizes were some who simply
jotted down a row of figures on ea«h of
the four estimates they sent in, and let
Providence do the rest. Alfi-ed Meisel,
who won one of the two $2, 500 plums,
admits that that was so at least in his
case He is a young man who is the
owner of a butcher shop at 356 Ninth
avenue. New York, and a very stalwart
and good-looking young butcher he is,
too. The news of his good luck was
brought to him by a Tobacco World re-
porter on last Saturday afternoon. Asked
how he came to make so good a guess,
Meisel said he really didn't know. He
simply jotted down the figures that won
the money and sent them to Jersey City.
It was Meisel' s "mazzel," that's all. He
received the news of his good luck very
composedly and went on cutting meat
for his customers' Sunday dinners. His
wife seemed to think it the most natural
thing in the world that her hushand
should win.

The Florodora estimating contests
have brought so much mail to the town
that Jersey City is at length to have her
long coveted new postoffice building.

Cigarmakers unions during the past
year were involved in 254 difficulties,
the most of which were for an increast

The judges worked quickly as soon of wages. All told, 11.912 members

as they got down to business. The
boxes containing estimates were all
graded, and it was easy for the manager

Frank D. Pfeiffer. Kenion O. ; his guess of the Florodora Tag Company to find
was 547,926.732. the boxes containing estimates in the

were involved. Of these, 185 proved
successful, 27 were compromised, 32
were lost and 7 are still pending. Of
the 32 lost only 18 were involved in a
straight issue and the number of mem-
bers was insignificantly small.

MOSTLY PERSONAL
August Semon. the new Second Vice
President of the Philadelphia Retail Ci-
gar Dealers" Protective Association, has
resided in Camden. N. J., for years,
where he has not only been interested in
the cigar business, but has also been a
notary public and a citizen generally in-
terested in matters of public interest. It
is likely he will do good work for the
"cause" in Camden, as he is an ener-
getic and pushing business man and
takes hold of a movement with the pur-
pose of staying with it.
' H. G. Dunlap, one of the pushing
salesmen in the employ of Arguelles,

adelphia Courts. This week he goes
out on the road for his house.

to the tobacco trade of Lancaster some
years ago, died January 21. at his late
home 512 West Kingstreet, Philadelphia.

H. C. Simpson, late a police street
sergeant, who died January 20, at his
home 1 237 Seybert street. Philadelphia,
was a cigar manufacturer for years at
Sixth and Vine streets. He retired from
the tobacco business in 1878.

WANT A UNirOR-M RATE.

Charles Fox. Secretary of the National
Cigar Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade,
Abraham Bijur, of the Executive Com-
mittee of the same board, and Richard
A. Bachio, Secretary of the Havana Cigar
Manufacturers' Association, returned to
New York from their call on the U. S.
Senate's Foreign Relations Committee in
Washington on Jan. 20, on the the follow-
ing day. Mr. Fox says he and his asso-
ciates had a very cordial reception from
the Committee and is of the opinion that
much good will result.

The committee wants a uniform rate of
duty on leaf tobacco and is opposed to a
20 per cent reduction of the tariff on
cigars under the proposed reciprocity
measure. The members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee listened
with close attention to the argument made
by Mr. Bijur on behalf of his Board and
asked questions but not in the cross-
examining style which used to be the
rule in Washington in the days of the
late Mr. Dingley and the late Mr. RusselL
Mr. Bijur asked that the following
amendment be added to Article II. ofthe
Cuban Treaty: "Except that the rate of
duty on unstemmed leaf tobacco im-
ported from Cuba shall be a uniform
rate of thirty cents per pound, and that
cigars imported from Cuba shall not
enjoy the benefit of any concession or
rebate of duty. '"

Mr. Bijur pointed out that the effect of
the uniform duty would be to greatly
facilitate the use of Cuban leaf, as every
importer and manufacturer in this country
would be able to calculate accurately the
cost of his raw material. It would obvi-
ate all the trouble now experienced in
the collection of the duty on Cuban leaf,
and would be of material assistance to the
Cuban grower by increasing the demand
for his product. The independent cigar
manufacturer, he said, would be enabled
to maintain himself against the trust, and
to far better advantage; and the monop-
olistic tendencies of the trust would be to
some extent restricted. Mr. Bijur said
that the proposed reduction on cigars
would be an effective weapon tn the
hands of the trust to enable it to crush
out the competition of independent man-
ufacturers and dealers.

Over 1,000 men are now employed

in the leaf rehandling department of the
American Tobacco Company's plant at
Louisville, Ky.

TOBACCO TRADE IN THE SOUTH

(Concluded from page 1 8. )
three hotels of the city are doing good
business. This is a popular concern
with whatever season is on in Memphis,
for they have all novelties in the trade
for their friends. Race tips in April
and October and base ball bulletins dur-
ing all the exciting times of the Southern
league.

Sol. Coleman, who is known as the
apostle of sunshine and good cheer in
the Southern tobacconist field, nas just
recovered from a severe illness. He
contends that trade was never better,
that collections are fair, financial condi-
tions staple, and that the tendency is
remarked toward heavier consumption of
the high grade, dark Havanas.

The Mosely cigar factory on Main
street, of which Mr. DeHann, the fore-
man, is well known to the trade of the
country, made considerable improve-
ments in their factory in 1902. They
have a three story building and an es-
pecially good local business.

Lee & Norton, wholesale tobacco peo-
ple at their place on Union street, do a
good business through the out of-town
tobacconists and grocery houses of the
Memphis district. They increased their
traveling force the first of the year.
Sternberg & Bros, of all the local

run of business on his ten-cent Princessa
and several five cent cigars.

At other points in Tennessee than
Memphis there are now numerous cigar
and tobacco wholesalers and manufac-
turers, with a chance to discuss "trusts
and combines," generally gooa trade
and "unusually good collections for the
the season' ' for there have been fewer
assignments than in several years past in
this particular season moving over from
1902 to 1903.

At Jackson. Tenn. , Baum Bros, do a
first class local business as tobacconists.

At Nashville, the Nashville Tobacco
Works, of which Mr. Puryear is manager,
gets out the Old Statesman brands, plugs,
snuflfs, etc.

At Chattanooga, The Elk Cigar Co.,
which manufactures the Elk cigar, with
the picture of the famous antlers on every
box -J. W. Kelly, W. L. Kreinger,
Kennon and Logan are interested in to-
bacco lines.

At Knoxville, J. H. Ritter, near the
Imperial Hotel, and Roy Scott are up
town dealers while J. L. Smith and J. D.
Elast are separate factory and wholesale
members.

Retailers' Journal. First Vice-President
E. D. Owens called the meeting to order
in the absence of President W. C. Rorke.
After the reading of the minutes by Sec
retary J. A. Lancaster. Mr. Case was in-
troduced, and he spoke of the work that
had been done in the large cities of
America, and declared the sole object of
the association to be a fight on the "most
inhuman and criminal trust in America.
He spoke of the absorption ol the Weis
singer Tobacco Company by the trust as
an admission by the trust of the en
croachment of independent trade Mr.
Roth then spoke at some length. He
complimented the retailers of Louisville
on the enthusiastic and intelligent man-
ner in which they hnd taken up the
fight. He emphasized the importance
of organization

but they have been driven to the measure,
and as an example of how successful
thew have been, he mentioned Detroit,
where he said the retailers had taken the
trust goods out of their stores and placed
them in warehouses. He urged confi-
dence and harmony, and outUned the
methods that should be, as followed in
the contest with the trusts.

When this was done the consumer would
favor the independent tradesman.

Mr. Roth said that the trust had spent
$3,000,000 trying to force a trust cigar on
Philadelphia, and that the market had
repudiated it. The organization proposed
to keep all of its members posted as to
the status of goods, whether or not they
were trust products.

rRorosEo tariff commission.

i

It is to Investigate the Necessity and
Desirability of a Revision.

Mr. Tawney (Rep., Minn.), a mem-
ber of the Committee on Ways and
Means, on January 24 offered a con-
cnrrent resolution providing for an in-
restigation in the recess of Congress
this year of the necessity and desirability
of revising the tariff. It is to be done
by a commission consisting of six Sen-
ators and eleven Representatives elected
to the Fifty-eighth Congress, to be ap-
pointed by the President pro tem. and
Speaker.

The resolution directs the Commission
'*to thoroughly inquire into and investi-
gate the present conditions of domestic
and foreign production and the neces-
■ity for any modification of the duty on
any or all of the articles upon which
duty is now imposed by law; whether
any reduction thereof can be made con-
sistent with reasonable protection to
American industry and labor; by what
means and in what miinner the foreign
trade of the United States can best lie
promote<l and extended, and whether or
not the tariff system, known as the max-
imum and minimum tariff, possesses for
the productive industries, business inter-
ests and foreign trade of the people of
the United States, advantages suijorior
to our present conventional and general
tariff system. And that said commission
make a fnll and complete report of such
investigation and submit its conclusions
to the Fifty-eighth Congress when the
same convenes in regular session Decem-
ber, 19a3.

It is further provided that the commis-
sion shall have the power to send for
persons and paT»ers and to administer
oaths in the condiu t (if the investigation.

1902 CROPS BEING DELIVERED

At I^ncaster Warehouses — United Cigar

Manufacturers Heavy Buyers —

Trade Notes and News.

Lancaster, Pa., .Tan. 23. 1903.— There
has been very little change in the condi-
tion of trade in old goods thin week,
the usual amount being sold to local
manufacturers for immediate wants.

The fact that the tSMMI crop b»'iug s< anc
in the packers* liandv. larue sales arc
now infrcqiH'iif. and until a dcniand tui
the 11)01 crop manifests itself a Imniii is
not anticipated. One lary:e sale. Imw-
ever, has been reported, and tluit of
250 cases made by I. II. Weaver.

The 11H)2 crop is U'XUk deliven'd to the
warehouscH almost daily. Complaints
as to the careless handing are not so
general. The farmers hav«> awakened
to the fact that it will prove to the
mutual interests of all eoneerned to bring
their crojis to the warehouws in sound
merchantable condition. The Cnited
Cigar Manufacturers have been the
heaviest recipients of the UMVJ rro|» thus*
far. they having begun Imving and pack-
ing operations earlier than others. An
idea can be formed of the enormity of
their purchascH from their having ^u-
tracted for ir».0(K) to 1S.(I0<> empty cases.

It is noticeably evident that all <-igar
manufacturers are btisv since the eon-
spicuotisnesw through the absence of the
small manufacturers from the rural dis-
tricts has shown itself. It has been the
custom o' the small maniifactnrers to
make up a case (»r tw » «»f cigars •nid tlien
pack his satnpl«> and <-onie to town to
Hnd a buyer. Now it is a rare instance
to see them h.>oking for a cnst<»ni«r.

Reading District's Ci^ar Output.

For 1902 Show a Large Gain Over the

Previous Year — New Cigar Factory

at Reading and Other

Trade News.

Reading, Pa , Jan. 24. 1903.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Cranston, has closed his records in the
taking of the annual inventory of the
cigar factories of this district and has
forwarded his reports to Collector Wil-
liam McCoach. The inventory just com-
pleted show that 1 18,748,634 rigais were
nvinufactured in this district during the
year and that i 18,085.402 were sold, be-
sides 18,085,402 which were left in the
factories in the district unsold after clos-
ing the business. This is a large gain
in the output of the district. Lvery ci-
' gar manufactured is accounted for to the
government. To manufacture over 118
million cigars, 1,927.742 pounds of to-
bacco were required. Every pound of
tobacco purchased by manufacturers in
the district for the year was also ac-
counted for. The rite is 16'^ pounds
, to 1,000 ( igars. The revenue returns
from this district for the entire district
weie upwards of 12,250,000 for the
year's business. Nearly 300 cigar fac-
, tories are in operation in the district,
the actual number being 297. There

are also thirty-one tobacco factories.
These factories packed 270.000 pounds
of tobacco for smoking and chewing pur-
poses.

Lewis Steele, the cigar manufacturer,
has purchased the nickel brand, Athletic,
from Lewis R. Fading, who manufac-
tured it for many years and who retired
from business several months ago. Mr.
Steele intends pushing the same and will
manufacture the cigar on a large scale.

Reading has secured another large ci-
gar factory. Last week representatives
of the firm of James Sheridan & Co., of
Chicago, were here looking for a desira-
ble location for a factory. Owing to the
excellent workmanship in these parts it
was decided to move east from Chicago.
Reading, owing to its wide reputation as
a cigar center, was selected as the best
location. The firm rented the Kerper
building and are now equipping their
I new building. They filed a bond in the
sum of 510,000 with Deputy Collector
1 Cranston for his approval, and will em-
ploy upwards of 100 hands when in full

Leaf Tobacco Markets.

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.
Sales continue in a scattering way in
various towns. By the price named, we
should suppose the growers were fright-
ened to death when they sell their crops
at less than filler prices, while others in
the same neighborhood get fairly reason-
able rates for their leaf. If the crops
grown last year are defective in curing
qualities, and they had a scabby sheep
on their hands, there would be some ex-
cuse for unloading to some one who was
willing to buy and take the risk. But if
they are the victims of their own fears,
and so surrender to the well-matured
plans of skillful dealers, we have no
Sympathy for them.

Our correspondents write:
Whately, Mass.: "I report sales of
Seth B. Crafts, 1 3 acres at 1 3c ; Mrs.
Flavin & Sons, 14 acres at 13c; Irving
Allis, 6 acres at 8c; Robert Dickinson,
4 acres at 8c, all in the bundle. Buyers
are riding about and offering from 4c to
8c. The assorting shops are all busy."
Sunderland, Mass. : "Only a few sales
are reported and those small lots, at
prices ranging from 8c to 1 2c in the bun-
dle. C. M. Hubbard, who raised 3 acres
under cloth, intends to raise 6 or 8 acres
in the same way the coming season.
Those who are assorting and packing are
almost unanimous that the 1902 crop
weighs very light, according to the bulk. "
Conway, Mass.: "Quite a good deal of
tobacco was sold here last week, prices
ranging from 4c to 8c. The reason for
selling so low was the showing of canker
in the leaf. It has come on since the
tobacco was stripped."

Hatfield, Mass.: "B. M. Warner,
president of ihe new Tobacco Improve-
ment Company, has quite recently closed
a deal for 100 acres of fine land for grow-
ing shade tobacco, paying therefor #7, 000
It is located in the northwestern part of
Northampton, near West farms."

Feeding Hills, Mass.: "Tobacco buy-
ers have been scarce, and seem to be
afraid to touch the crop, only about a
half-do/.en lots being sold, until last
week, when many sold at prices ranging
from 6r to 12c in the bundle, one lot
going at 8r and 13c."

Manchester. Ct. : "The Hartman Bros ,
of Hartford, Conn., have derided to raise
55 acres of shade grown Sumatra the
coming ^e.^son at this town."

East Harifoid, Ct. : "We leain from
the Times that there will be quite an in-
cre.ised planting of tobacco this co uing
season, .ind contracts have been made
for several new curing barns. And many
crops of tobacco that were sold to the
American Tobacco Company have been
canceled, and the growers have sold to
other paities at a loss of fully one-third."

The warehouse receipts of new crop
are steadily increasing.

The stocks of old tobacco are now
reduced to a few hundred hogsheads.

Owing to the unfavorable weather and
bad condition of the roads, deliveries
have been light at the prizing houses
and loose tobacco warehouses. The loose
Tobacco market remains firm to strong,
and the bulk of the crops have been sold
by the planters.

EDGERTON. WISCONSIN.
Receiving the new crop from growers
is the principal business now in tobacco
sections of the state. I ong lines of
i farmers" teams loaded with the weed can
I be seen daily at the delivry points that
are exchanged for fat rolls of money.
Generally speaking the crop is coming
to the warehouses in very good packing
condition, fulfilling most of the contract
requirements and settlements are made
with but few deductions.

There is but little riding being done
in the country after the balance ot the
crop remaining unsold, but so far trans-
actions have not been numerous nor the
prices quite up to former quotations.

No new features have developed in the
business of cured leaf to disturb a quiet
market. E. C. Hopkins has purchased
a75cslot of Owen & Pepper, Footville

packers.

I Warehouse handling is now under full
swing and the number ot hands em-
ployed in the business exceeds that of
any previous season in the state. The
work, too, has only just commenced.

York, Pa.. January 26, 1903.
While no exceedingly large transac-
tions marked the features of the past week
in the York leaf tobacco market, yet the
volume of business transacted was fairly
good and few complaints are heard from
the packers and warehousemen. All
have been doing a nice business in a
quiet manner since the first of the year.
All of the men engaged in the leaf to-
bacco business report numerous inquires
and some large transactions are expected
to be made within the next few weeks.

One of the biggest shipments of leaf
tobacco made since the first of the year
was a consignment of two cars to Pitts-
burg and two cars to Cleveland. Ohio,
which were made during the week by A.
Sonneman & Son, of this city.

Tobacco buyers are still scouring the
county for what still remains unsold of
the 1902 crop. Growers in the vicinity
of Cross Roads have nearly all disposed
of their holding at 8 and 2 and 7 yi and
2c. William H. Wise, proprietor of the
Belleview farm, near Lucky post office,
has sold his tobacco crop of 28 acres at
8 and 2c.

The Tobacco World has previously
noted the unparalleled and unprecedented

demand for York county cigars. There
is no let-up in the rush of orders. New
factories are springing up in ever section
of the county and those already estab-
lished are inquiring for additional help.
Extia work in the evenings is the rule in
nearly all the factories. The demand for
cigarmakers and other help comes from
every section of the county. The La
Buta factory wants bunchers and rollers:
H. K. Kohler, Nashville wants cigar-
makers and apprentices; P. C. Fulweiler
Bro. Co. . York, want 25 tobacco strippers;
[ Baer, Sprenkle Co. , Bair' s Station, need
I 50 cigarmakers ; Allen Kauffman & Bro.
York, cigar box makers, want girls to
feed presses in their printing department
J. Fred Holt/inger, of the firm of
Hains & Holt/inger. cigar brokers of
Red Lion, has returned home from a
most successful business trip in the an-
thracite coal regions. He reports having
booked orders for 400,000 cigars.

G. W. Gable, the pioneer cigar man-
ufacturer, of Windsor, made during the
year 1 902, 11,420,000 cigars. He has
figured out, that assuming the average
length of a cigar being 4>4 inches, these
cigars laid end to end would reach from
York to Chicago, a distance of 793 miles.
The following trade-marks for cigars
have been registered by these York
county firms: Two Poodles, Paragon Ci-
gar Company, York; Catoba Crooks,
Keystone Cheroot Company, Limited,
Hanover; Vender, A. N. Diehl. Springet.
George Mayer, of the well-known ci-
gar manufacturing firm of Jacob A.
Mayer & Brothers, will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for the office of chief Bur-
gess of the borough of North York. Mr,
Mayer is one of the most prominent and
progressive residents of that bustling
borough, and if popularty counts for any-
thing, he will be elected by a big
majority.

Chancey Kohler, proprietor of one of
the best patronized retail cigar store in
York, has had his place of business re-
modeled and renovated. The interior
now present a handsome and attractive
appearance.

At the recent annual meeting of the
McSherrystown & Hanover Turnpike
Company, S. L. Johns, the well-known
leaf tobacco packer and cigar manufac-
turer, was elected president of the com-
pany.

During the recent session of common
pleas court, a jury awarded Charles
Boegner, a cigarmaker of North York,
190 to compensate him for injuries sus-
tained by falling on a defective street
crossing in that borough.

H. j. Roth, a well-known cigar manu-
facture of McSherrystown, has purchased
two building lots in that borough upon
which he will erect a fine dwelling house
in the near future*.

— TheC. C. Denio Cigar Co., Jackson,
Mich., will greatly enlarge their plant.

THE T©B/ieeO ^ORLBj^

THE HONEST CIGAfL^NDJTS PUBLIC

By Adolj Lokh. of K. Straus & Co.

I am of opinion that The Tobacco
World is performing a service of inesti-
mable value to the trade by insisting as
frequently as it has done during the past
year and a half that the only policy for
the cigar manufacturers of the United
States to pursue is to put upon the
market, at all times, only honest cigars.
The day of the faked cigar is past and
will never come again. The smoking
public can tell an honest cigar from a
dishonest one as readily as it can dis-
tinguish good money from bad, and is
far more resentful at being imposed upon
in this matter of cigars than it- is in the
case ot counterfeit money, because there
is no way to get rid of a poor cigar
whereas counterfeit money can always
be passed on to some one else. If this
last statement were not true how on
earth could the poor green goods man
make a living?

The Tobacco World is perfectly right,
too, in pointing out that the honest cigar
manufacturers of the United States are
the vast majority of the trade. I take
it every one will readily understand what
I mean by an honest manufacturer. I
call that manufacturer honest who puts
into his cigars the best tobacco he can
buy that is suitable for his purpose, who
employs competent help and keeps his
eye steadily upon them so as to be sure
there is no waste and no carelessness in
his factory. The grade of the product
he turns out cuts no ice. Some of the
cheapest cigars in the world are very ex-
cellent cigars, and some of the highest
priced ones are sometimes very, very
disappointing. There are factories in
Pennsylvania. New York, and elsewhere
turning out only the cheapest grades of
cigars which have been successful in
pleasing the public for a great number
ot years, and this is simply because these
factories have give close attention to their
own business and have given the public
the very best value that it has been possi-
ble to give. On the other hand, there
are in the United States some factories
catering to the well-to.do smokers of the
land who regard their patrons as dupes,
who "fake" every brand once it has
gained favor. These people, it seems
to me and must seem to all others who

think (.f the matter at all, are their own
worst enemies. For the sake of a trifling
additional temporary gain they kill the
goose that laid the golden eggs, for no
intelligent smoker ever goes back to a
brand which has once greatly displeased
him. He simply asks for something else.
Retail cigar dealers know better than
anyone else how the exacting intellig*^nce
of the public manifests itself in this
matter of cigars. The man who comes
to the retailer' s a stranger and asks for a
good cigar, naming the price he is will-
ing to pay for it, gets it. He gels it for
two reasons, first, because there are
plenty of good cigars on the market, and
secondly, because the retailer knows
that if he pleases his customer he will
either come back himself or tell his
friends about the place that suited him.
The displeasure of chance customers who
get poor <ig,irs when they ask for good
ones takes many forms, the commonest
and deadliest one of all being to "knock"
the dealer who swinuled them. But one
man, after lighting the wretched "rope"
which had been imposed upon him in
response to his demand for a good cigar,
administered a lesson to the chap who
had cheated him which will be applauded
by every honest retailer in the world:
He threw down the lighted cigar directly
in front of the man who had sold it to him.
Manufacturers and retailers have the
very strongest reason for making and
selling only honest cigars from the fact
that the cigar hunger of your tiue con-
noisseur— and nothing is easier than to
become a cigar connoisseur — always
grows by what it feeds on. Those who truly
love cigars never get enough cigars to
smoke, provided only that they get ci-
gars that arc to their Ustc. The man
who begins with three cigars a day is
presently smoking six, or nine, or twelve,
and the rational explanation of the
enormous increase in the output of cigars
in the United States of very recent years
is that none appreciate this fact more
keenly than those who buy and sell them.
But if the bulk of the 7,000.000.000 ci-
gars we are making annually now were
not honest cigars the tobacco hunger of
the public would not be on edge all the
tinie ADOLF LOEB.

edj^e of every branch' of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, atid whose

8 During U>0- the nu>st striking novcUy in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whirh
begin on January 1, with a chapter entitled " The
Truth Alwutthe Discoverv of Tobacco, " contributed

by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald &

National Cigar Leaf Association . ende<l on December
24 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester,
N. H. Each of the other fifty chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the "Comic
History of Tobacco' by Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To
bicco" will be published in book form, handsomely
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and w ill

Man is a I'iDcral education.

10. If you wjint a tenth reason for enrolling your

writing on a subject with which many very
bright men are thoroughly familiar. What are
most distinctly not wanted are " high ball car "
gossip, love adventures or dialect stories. Cigar
leaf travelers who may desire to compete for the

THE LATE JULIAN RALPH AND HIS
PIPE.

In compliance with the request of a
number of readers who have suggested it,
1 subjoin the very readable article written
some years ago by the late Julian Ralph
the brilliant newspaper writer. It will
repay perusal :

MY PIPE.
By Julian Ralph

Much as I love the wild woods, I can-
not think of them without, at the same
time, centering all their scenes and sounds
and savors around my brier pipe. How
often, when I have been springing noise-
lessly over the soft bedding of dead
leaves and moss, toward my camp, drink-
ing in the balsamic air, hearing the soft
sighs of the breeze far above me in the
tree tops marvelling at the splintered
yellow rays with which, like a shower of
gold, the sun has forced its broken way
through the foliage — how often, I say,
have I felt that 1 could not be happier,
until there has come to meet me from the
camp a whiff of the pipe smoke of my
guide. How it blends with the aromatic
exhalations of the camp-fire, with the
breath of the pines, with the faint scents
of the wild flowers and the sweet, damp
smell of the rotten wood and the leaf
layers on the earth. How gladly a pipe
seems to return to the scenes of its origin,
to the woods, where the red men smoked
their Kinnick.inick of dried and crumbled
leaves in their bowls of sacred redstone.
At the fi:st scent my steps involuntarily
quicken, and I hasten to the tent or log
cabin, where my pouch hangs with my
briarwood init. "Now," I sayto myself,
•'I will have all that was needed to perfect
the joy of all my senses. I will smoke -
and such tobacco, that even the birds and
rabbits and squirrels, and, mayhap, the
timider deer, will halt and bless the mo-
ment that they strayed where the aroma
drifts and adds a new pleasure to the joys
of the aromatic forest "

To sit, pipe in mouth, before the
crackling fire, after a day's hunting has
ended, with an exquisite meal of fried
fish and bacon, and stewed tomatoes,
when the darkness is upon the ground
beyond the circle of fire-light, when only
a faint relic of daylight is seen in the
openings overhead, when the tattooing

of the woodpeckers has ceased ; and only
now and then is heard the last good
night chirp of a cricket or a tree toad —
ah, then the little clouds of tobacco
smoke ascend from j^rateful, happy smok-
ers, like thanksgivings. Then theirshapes
and the vague forms of the guides attend-
ing to the bedding and the boats, and
the shadows of the bushes and the tree
trunks all become dreamy and whimsical
and the time has come for listening to
the recollections of other days in other
woods, of friends who have beforetimes
sat in the same charmed circle; for
questioning the half-breed guides, who
drop down beside the embers, and tell
their strange beliefs and superstitions in
gutteral English, musically mis-spoken.

To sit in a canoe in the center of a
great bowl of emerald water with its sides
made of a deeper green of forest spire?,
in the silence of the heart of nature, rod
in hand and pipe in mouth— who that has
tasted that bliss will deny the part which
the pipe plays in perfecting its charms.
There perfect conditions are crystallized,
mesmerized; nothing stirs except our
imperfect and impatient selves; and the
pipe smoke, which floats softly upward
to meet the flossy clouds that lie above,
halted, as if drinking in the beauty of
their images reflected on the plated sur-
face of the lake. Perhaps an owl hoots,
possibly a muskrat propels its tiny nose
in the loop of a silent, spreading ripple
near the shore and— "s-s-h: whisper;
deer! There, that streik of red in yonder
bushes. Quick: hessmelled us— gone. "
Bother take the deer for showing himself
when we are fi->hing-but the pipes go
back to our mouths and the smoke curls
up again, even if the fish do not bite.
How patient and philosophic one is when
the fish do not bite, if one has a pipe.
Indeed, given a pipe and the woods, what
need is there of ought else, now that
canned food is so portable and satisfactory.^
A philosopher friend of mine has said
that " 'going fishing' is the most elastic
phrase in the English tongue. It means
what it says, or it means going loafing,
or going carousing, or dodging trouble
at home — a score of things." Yes,
among them, it means going off to enjoy
one's pipe.

I remember one evening beside the
brawling Kootenai, in British Columbia,
a civil engineer dropped into narrative
as we sat till ten o'clock at night still
catching trout as if the daylight were not
two hours old in China. "It was in
Montana," said he, "in the fifties, when
Red Callahan, the man who was hanged
by the Vigilantes afterward, held me up
and tried to murder me. That was my
narrowest escape. He shot my pipe out
of my mouth. He was an ornery fellow
— didn't play fair. He ambushed me,
thinking I had quit mining and was going
East with plenty of dust, whereas I was
in hard luck, without gold enough to
weigh out the price of a dance at the
cheapest hurdy-gurdy in Virginia City.
He fired and 1 flung my hands up and
called out: 'Quit that. What d' ye want?
He fired again and missed and then I
was mad and showered lead where I saw
his fire come from. In another six
seconds I spurred my cayuse and got
away. That was the worst trouble 1 ever
got in. I was frost-bitten and out of my

mind three days later— picked up stark
crazy in the mountains by some pros-
pectors, but I didn't count that. The
scrimmage with Red Callahan was much
i more serious."

"Why.?"

"Why? Didn't I tell you he shot
away my pipe? It was the only one 1
had, that's why."

How little do the ignorant count the
cost of idly spoken words! Back again
at home, after that week of dreaming in
the British Columbian bush — the grand-
est woods in America — she whom I rev-
erence was unpacking my trunk and
came upon my briar. "Why!" she ex-
claimed, "here's a nasty pipe among
your clothes." A nasty — but I will not
shock the reader with a repetition of the
phrase. The red Indian wlio invented
thatwizard instrument, the calumet, rated
it so truly at its worth that not only was
the material of which it was fashioned
sanctified in his sight, but those who
carried it in blocks to the various tribes
and who went through hostile nations to
secure it, all bore sacred, charmed lives,
the soft, fine-grained, red sancstone was,
and is to-day, found in Minnesota only,
and in but one small region there, if I
am not misinformed. To that quarry
all the red tribes of our country and
Canada used to send occasional deputa-
tions of brave and distinguished youths
to fetch back stone for the skillful and
tasteful squaws to make pipes from in
the winter months. These men were
never harmed by any Indian of any
nation, going or coming. Though they
passed through the lands of ancient
enemies and over the hunting ground of
tribes with which their people were then
at war, their lives were inviolate. Such
was the agreement of all the Indians,
although no other influence had ever
been known to bring about such concord
or any promise of safety to any foe or
stranger otherwise employed. The pipe
was to them all the sign -manual of peace
and the emblem of deep wisdom. It
was a thing to be smoked only among
friends, the seal for the stamping of
friendship, the vial that held the essence
of philosophy and sage reflection, to be
handed around at the councils, passing
from chief to chief and from valiant war-
rior to cunning medicine-man. "Nasty!"
No, it was the portable altar whereon
was burned the elemental fire, the sign
and tool of the gods who also smoked —
as any but the blind could see by look-
ing at volcanoes, at geysers, at the forest
fires lighted by celestial bolts from the
smitten flints that hang from Gitche-
Manitou's belt.

The red discoverer of the aromatic
weed and of the implement he fashioned
for its use had never a doubt of its power
to call down peace from Heaven and
understanding to men's dull brains. And
when a white man brought it from
America to Europe to gladden his race,
what new testimony of its magic power
did it give forth? For whether its magic
was in the selection of Raleigh to be its
sponsor, or whether it had to do with
making Raleigh what he was — one or
the other, the triumph was the same.
He was, except Elizabeth, the most in-
teresting figure of his time, splendid in
his loyalty to his queen, gieat in his

MtLADELPHIA

" ' r

energy, valor and wisdom, marvelous in
the patience with which he bore adver-
sity, and without a peer in gallantry.
There is no better life to read through
the smoke of a pipe then Raleigh's with
its excitement, adventures, and glad and
fell vicissitudes. His life contained
enough of poetry, romance and senti-
ment, of moral weakness, for which he
atoned with kindness and generosity;
enough of all that is human blended
with the rest, to be softened and dreami-
fied into a wonderful tale as seen through
the smoke which he was the first to let
loose in Europe.

Our women — loveliest of the benefac-
tions of life— do not appreciate the pipe.
They have not risen to the heights of its
attractions. Perhaps the majority of
them are jealous of all the forms in
which men use the weed — his surest
solace and, in that sense, woman's great-
est rival. The "new woman" is co(|uet-
ting with the cigarette— a mistake in
taste; and so is the new woman herself,
by the way. If she has taken up the
cigarette as the first step towards the
pipe — but no, the cigarette is not of the
genus tobacco; it is a concoction, a drug-
gists' prescription, an odorous, odious,
nerve-destroying not nerve-soothing,
thing. Do I blame either woman — the
dear old kind or the dubious new sort-
for not smoking? Could I love woman
with a pipe in her mouth? Aye, and
millions of men no less refined and
dainty and poetic than we of the West
do already love woman thus accoutered.
In Japan and in China every woman
smokes — be she empress, duchess,
farmer's wife or poultry tender. Upon
the women's pipes are lavished the
daintiest taste and skilfullest work of the
artists of those realms. Some are of
solid silver, inlaid with gold; others arc
of ivory, beautifully carved. Each pipe
holds but a pea of tobacco, and the
emptying of it occupies but a minute.
Dear reader, you would not deny that
my friend Mrs. Ladaka is a lady. If
you are masculine, you admire her; if a
lady you would envy her amiability, her
pretty ways, her beautiful silken suits.
Vet many a time has Madame Ladaka
come where I was smoking, aboard ship,
in shops and in houses, and taken from
her pouch her little pipe of silver, carved
and inlaid, and sent the smoke from it,
joined with the smoke from mine, in
spiral clouds up to the sky or roof. A
pinch of fine hair-like tobacco, a pres-
sure upon it over the pipe bowl, a scratch
of a wax match, and then three quick
puffs. That was all of her smoking.
But how pretty she looked, how graceful
were her postures, how poetic the move-
ments of her arms during that minute!
How sweetly she smiled when I handed
a match to her, and how calm and wise
her face grew as she sucked up the three
mouthfuis of smoke and let them curl
away from between her teeth. May I
meet you and smoke with you again, and
when 1 do may you know that the smoke
of my pipe is in reality incense offered at
the altar of virtuous womanhood. — From

There is no wav in the wor'd that 1

readers are familiar with that the World
was the first tobacco trade paper to start
such a department as "The Realm of
the Retailers" and its revival is sure to
please a large and growing circle of
readers. As noted, letters have been re-
ceived expressing warm approval of the
department and the fact further shows
that the retailers desire to take a hand
in sending in hints and suggestions of
their own to make the department more
interesting and valuable. These sugges-
tions and points will be given space and
are cordially welcomed.

One letter received is herewith given
space as it contains a kernel or two of
thought which may lead other dealers to
"think matters over":

Editor The Tobacco World:

One question that greatly interests me
as a retailer is this: What shall I do with
the very young lads who insist upon
visiting my store, really against my will,
and while there buying cigarettes and
tobacco, chewing gum and other small
articles. I believe they spend their
money more to be allowed to stay in the
store than anything else. I am human
enough to want to sell goods and yet
conscientious enough not to wish to en-
courage young boys to smoke, to become
loafers and to indulge in questionable
language. I endeavor to advise them
and dislike to treat them rude, both for
their own and their parents' sake. But
the question of what to do in the premises
is really a serious one and I would like to
hear from some of my brother retailers on
the matter. G. I. Rard.

who is perhaps the most prosperous retail

Well Posted.

That salesmen in the retail cigar
stores of New York city which handle
imported cigars are thoroughly well
posted on the present situation in Havana
is made clear by the experience of a
gentleman who asked in one such store,
on the evening of Jan. 26, for an im-
ported cigar not made by the trii^^t. He
named no particular brand but the sales-
man handed out to him an open box ot
Upmann's and another of Edens.

L«Lck VcLfiety.

The commonest criticism one hears
of the stores of the United Cigar Stores
Company is that the stock carried in each
of them is too monotonously the same.
Theie is not enough variety. It is always
Principe de Gales, Helmonts, Continent-
als, Cubanola, Childs, Cremo and the
like, with never a Webster or a Henry
the Fourth, or a Charles the Great, or an
American Inventors, or a Natural Aroma,
all of which are brands well known and
with a large following. The U. C. S.
Co's stores are attractive and well man-
aged but the. public wants something
more than that, especially as the U. C.
•S. Co. annoimced in one of its advertise-
ments that it would give the public what
it asked for, "no substitutes. * The man
who would ask for a Webster in one of
the Company's stores wouldn't get that
because Y. Pendas & Alvarez will not
sell to the Company. Other manuf;ic.
turers of brands of well established repu-
tation take the same stand and smokers
who want these brands and who will take
nothing else do not fiock to the stores of
the U. C. S. Co., at least in what the
old schoolboy declamation used to call
"serried ranks. " Helas!

With the arrival of a fresh contingent
of buyers from the North during the
week ending January 24. the Havana
market has shown renewed activity and
while the sales have not reached very
large proportions, the total of 5. 300 bales
traded in ought to be called eminently
satisfactory. Receipts of tobacco from
the country, excepting Remedios. are
limited and show that \uelt i Abajo and
Parlido tobacco particularly are nearly
exhausted. The total receipts were

this letter. If the stock of Vuelta Abajo

others have had recourse to; wherefore
these growers could not have suffered
much damage. On the other hand, the
young plants must have been benefited
by the rain, so the final results may off-
set each other, and the qu.ility of the crop
ought not to be affected as far as the \'u

cerned, while the Remedios, however,
might eventually turn out shorter. All

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with the full palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minutes time.

These points of merit, coupled
with others not mentioned, have
won for this table the high standard
of excellence maintained to- day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

Departures.

Departures via Tampa and by the
steamer "Mexico" were: Milton Herold,
Secretary of the Loeb-Nunez Havana
Co., for Philadelphia; I. Reinitz, of Lo-
lano, Selgas & Co., New York, for Tam-
pa; Charles Vogt, Jr. , of A. Pazos & Co. ,

The contract of the four independent
factories was signed on the 2 2d instant,
and is therefore now in force for six
years to come, as regards the Ramon
Allones factory of Rabell, Costa, Vales
& Co., the Romeo y Julietta factory of
Rabell. Costa & Co. , the Sol factory of
Behrens & Co. , and the Flor de Tabacos
de Partagas factory of Cifuentes, Fernan-
dez & Co.

Other factories are believed to have
subscribed to this agreement, but their
names ate withheld for the present.

A new rigar factory is also to start up
shortly with English capital and as the
shareholders represent importers and
consumers in Great Britain, who bind
themselves to give sufficient orders to
guarantee at least a production of 20,000
cigars daily, this corporation is bound to
start under favorable auspices and ought
to be able to do a large trade also with
the United States.

Suspended Order.

The Havana Tobacco Co. has recon-
sidered its order not to deliver any cigars
to the commission merchants in Havana
for the United States and that the latter
can now execute all orders for this market
as heretofore.

Don Gustavo Bock's movements are
hard to guess at and while there have
been all sorts of rumors and comments,
it seems best to await quietly further
developments in the c ourse »»f time.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

BuRHAU OF The Tobacco World, ii Burling Slip.

That which exacting New York ad-
mires is surely admirable. For ins'ance.
the Marquand collection of pictures and
objects of art, now dispersed, and the
Special Number of I he Tobacco World,
which is also an object of art and which
has also been dispersed, thank you,
through the mails, I mean. And the
Special will make more people happy
then the Marquand collection did be-
cause the Special was given away, free,
gratis, for nothing, to those who, it is
known, at the offices of The Tobacco
World in Philadelphia and here, will be
most happy to receive it, will treasure it,
and dip into it often for the many good
things it, and it only, contains.

There is one leetle criticism which it
gives me pleasure to meet and dispose
of once and for ail. The date in the
Special is January i, 1903. and people
have asked me how that comes to be so.
The newspapers that cannot meet any
question frankly had best get out of
business, and therefore 1 inform all in-
quiring friends that the date January 1,
appears on the Special, whereas the
publication itself did not get into the
mails before January 27. for two reasons
—First because it is a holiday number
and a treat for all the year and secondly
because the publishers did not care to
have the Special mixed up with the tlood
of calendars and other conventional holi-
days publications which swamped every-
body at New Year's. .And the delay m
the publication was utilized to the utmost
in beautifying the Special. The writers,
the engravers and the primers did their
work with painstaking care, for not one
of them was hurried into slipshod work.
The result is the glorious satisfactory
publication which all The Tobacco
World's regular subscribeis and about
12, 500 others have been receiving since
January 27. Next year's special num-
ber will be an even greater triumph than
this year's was,

\ ork save such a one as the late Fred-
erick .\. Schroeder had advocated the
growing of tobacco under cloth, he too
would have aroused only derision. But
Mr. Schroeder was famous for his con-
servative gO(jd sense, and when he backed
up his opinion by investing good money
in the expeiiment on the plantations he
had bought in Florida, the tobacco trade
which respected and loved him, watched
the progress of work there with patient
interest. Mr. Schroeder used to say that
he got the idea of growing tobacco under
cloth from noting that in Cuba tobacco
grown under the checkered shade of
fruit trees was always finer and healthier
than that which was grown in the open.
Mr. Schroeder' s success in Florida was 1
continued there from year to year by
himself and other planters and on even
a l.irger scale than any of them by A.
Cohn & Co. on their great plantations
in Decatur county, Georgia, on the
Florida border line. |

This Florida and Georgia shade grown ^
leaf is always sold as soon as it comes ;
into the market, and the Connecticut to '
bacco corporation's whose first crop was
grown under the supervision of Marcus^
U Floyd, an old time Florida pupil of,
Mr. Schroeder' s. and which is being'
handled by E. Rosenwald & Bro.. is j
having the same gratifying experience
with its product. \

After all, the growing of tobacco under
cloth in summer time is only the forcing
of a natural product after the methods
long followed by those who force plants
in conservatoiies and hot houses. j

The marvel is, not that it is a succe>s,
but that it wasn't thought of by our
grejt grandfather.

Son, which has been famous for nearly
half a century for the excellence of its
annual packings of Connecticut tobacco, ^
and which of late years has also been a
large importer of Havana tobacco, has
been in Northern Wisconsin since the
fore part of last December co-operating
with Mr. H. Bekkedahl of Westby. The
packings of 1902 Wisconsin by there two
operators in joint account are expected
to aggregate in the neighborhood of 12,-
000 cases. This is the first time that
the firm of 1. Bijur & Son has ever packed
Wisconsin on so large a scale and also
the first time that .Mr. Bekkedahl has
ever packed on joint account. Hereto-
fore he has always packed alone and
1 then sold his packings to large houses.
His famous deal with Morris Bamberger,
of L. Bamberger & Co., of Philadelphia
in 1900 will be easily recalled. Mr.
Bamberger subsequently sold this pack-
ing to the American Cigar Company and
j is said to have realized from it a profit of
nearly $250,000. The Bijur-Bekkedahl
'; warehouses at Westby, Soldiers' Grove
' and Boscobel are working full handed.
The packing will be ready for the market
some time in .May.

shocking collision on the Jersey Central
Railroad at Westfield, N. J., on the after-

.Mr. Mahan has been in the employ of
the American Snuff Co. ever since it was
organized and before that, for about
fifteen years, was with George A. Helme
& Co. He was a valued and highly
esteemed employe.

The growing of tobacco from Sumatra
seed under cloth in Connecticut is so
assured a success that piedictions are
already freely made here that the time
is not far distant when the tobacco
farmers of New England will discard all
other methods of gi owing tobacco.

If. six or seven years ago. any one had
predicted that a crop ot Connecticut to-
bacco of the growth of 1902 could be
cured and packe<l and put for sale on the
market in New York by January. 1903.
he would have been laughed at as one
who knew nothing about toba( co or its
methods of cure. The man who dis-
covered how to force sweat tob.uco was 1
also for a time as one crying aloud m the
wilderness, and if any other man in New

rhe great auction sale of fine horses
at .Madison Square Garden on the even-

successful horse sales ever conducted in
New York and some of the finest horses
were bought by members of the tobacco

Phoebe Onward, a trotting mare with a
record of 2.2 •'i, and $700 tor Kilda,

Charles Solliday, representing E.
Rosenwald & Bro. , is doing remarkably
well on his present western trip.

Eugene Heitler Lehman, a private
tutor of 4 1 6 West 1 1 8th street, has learned
officially from friends in Yale that a Cecil
Rhodes scholarship in Oxford University
has been given to him. He is the first
American to receive a scholarship.

Mr. Lehman was born in Pueblo, Col.
His father was the late Moritz Lehman,
a wholesale dealer in leaf tobacco of that
I town. Young Lehman was graduated
from the Centennial High School at
Pueblo in 1898. He then attended the
Colorado University and won the Giffin
gold medal, in his freshman year, for
oratory. He was graduated from Yale
last June. During the course he was one
' of five who won the Ten Eycks prize for
oratory, and belonged to the debating
team of Yale. He won the WiUiam
Townsend prize for writing the best essay
and also the DeForest medal for deliver-
ing: the best oration at the- commence-
ment, on "Zionism. " He also received
honorable mention in the John Addison
Porter prize for American history.

Mr. Lehman has been taking a post-
graduate course at Columbia in philos-
ophy, which he gave up two weeks ago
to do private tutoring. He is 22 years
old. He said yesterday that Governor
Orman of Colorado had written to him
that his scholarship percentages were the
highest of all the applications for the
course at Oxford.

He said, "my highest aim and ambi-
tion in life is to do my humble part to-
waid alleviating the misery and suffer-
ings of the Jewish people in Russia,
Romania and Galicia, where men who
seek to rise are cut down and trampled
upon and women given education only
I upon their consent to a life of degiada-
' tion.'

his father, wlio is 81 years of age, to the
iion"»e of the latter in West S2cl street,
from Dr. Knapp's Ophthalmic Hospital
in West Twelfth street, in a carriage from
Rynson \ Brown's stables, driven by
Walter J. Horner last Sunday afternoon.
The horses were spiiited and on turning
into Broadway took fright from some un-
known cause and dashed wildly up the
thoioughfare named. The eye> of the
elder Mr. Cullman were fortunately band-
aged and his son soothed liim into be-
lieving that the carriage was merely going
at a rather rapid gait. FUit the younger
Cullman did very much more then that.
He preserved his presence of mind
throughout the whole exciting episode
and with his head out of the cariiage
window directed the struggling driver in
all his movements. At 33d street and
F'ifth avenue the horses which, by this
time, were pretty well tired out, were
brought to a stindstill. Driver Borncr
collapsed in a dead faint when it was all
over and was taken to a hospital in an
ambulance. Mr. Cullman transferred
his father to another carriage and brought
him safely home.

The foregoing is a summarized account
of an incident which was told in great
detail in all the morning dailies of yester-
day. Joseph F. Cullman's coolness in
the face of imminent danger is a trait
which he displayed in his own behalf a
year ago when he saved his life in the
Yale dormitory fire in New Haven.

Jadies V. Fehr has decided to build on
his property located at the southeast cor-
ner of Seventh and Franklin streets dur-
ing the approaching spring. I wo years
ago, Mr. Fehr secured this site with the
idea of putting up a large building for his
growing business. His plans have now
matured, and operations will begin as
soon as the weather permits. He pro-
poses extending his trade, and, therefore,
needs a larjie warehouse. He has 40
feet front on Franklin street and 70 along
Seventh, and will erect either a three or
four story building. He packs consider-
able Berks and Lancaster grown tobacco,
but proposes branching out into the
general leaf business. He will also have
ample accommodations in his new build-
ing for the manufacture of cigars.

last week to consider the advisability
of purchasing additional machinery to
incre.ise the production of the plant.
The company expects to expend $16,000
or more to make an addition and to
double the capacity of the plant. Last
month they turned out twenty-eight c«r
loads of matches.

Edward Ganter leturned thisweek from
a successful business trip through the
coal regions with orders for over 75,000
of his leading brands. His factory is
tunning on full time and orders «re
rapidly coming in. Mr. Ganter left
on Saturday on another extended trip
through New York state, accompanied
by his wife.

Cigar m.inufacturer John J. Roth put
several additional hands to work last
week. He proposes placing several new
brands on the market shortly.

Yocum Bros, are running overtime in
order to get out their orders. The firm
made 20 millions of cigars in 1902 and
expect to double their output this year.
The six story annex to the already large
factory is about completed and opera-
tions will he begun in full about Feb-

The new cigar factory of James Shara-

din ^: Co., which is being moved to this

THEY WILL PROTEST.
The Sabbath Association of Philadel-
phia will fight the passage of the act in-
troduced recently in the Pennsylv.inia
legislature by Senator Berkelbach "au-
thorizing the sales of certain articles on
the first day of the week, commonly called
Sunday." Dr. Mutchler, of the Sabbath
Association, announces that the friends
of the anti-Sunday sales movement will
appear before the Law and Order Com-
mittee of the State Legislature.^ February
10, and protest a-ainst the repeal of the
Sunday law. In fact, if the Sunday clos-
ing people had their way, Sunday closing
and other laws affecting Sunday obser-
vance would be far more stringent than
they are. Thercwas a time when people
proved that other people were witches and
burned the witches. But they can' t do
it now.

Sixth. The Keini building is being reno-
vated and refitted for the use of the Penn
company people, and it is said they will
occupy all but the two upper floors of
the building. About three years ago the
company was located on Market street,
and it is said they liked the thoroughfare
so well for business reasons that they are
in I uced to move back again. The com-
pany transacts a large tobacco jobbing
business.

THK SMOKE THAT FAILED.
Some time ago. so the World reporter
is told, a young West Philadelphia cigar-
maker announced that he had discovered
the philosophers stone in tobacco leaf.
It was. when smoked, to be the smoke of
smokes— a sort of airy, dreamy, god-
like puff, beside which the ordinary pull
of a hooka badah would have to go way
back and sit down. For an indefinate
time the aforesaid young discoverer has
bcf n ' curing" some of the new ambro-
sial weed— most likely it was burdock
or sunflower leaves, steeped in carbolic
acid and licorice -and the other night he
retired to his 'smoking deu" with pipe
and matches to thoroughly "sample"
the new heavenly decoction About
twenty hours lUer when "ma" wet^t to
call Willie, the discoverer, to a late sup-
per, Willie did not, nay, could not, an-
swer "ma's" call and now, according to
the good doctor who was hurried in, it
will take two weeks' treatment for Willie
to get his face back into shape again, and
he may never be able to walk otherwise
than lop-sided and tired-like. From all
of which it would seem that it is better
to stick to the good old true and tried
ways rather than to deal in paralysis-
breeding experiments

f

A BOGUS CHECK WORKER.
Cigar dealer John Koons. of Tenth
street, accepted a worthless 5 10 check
Saturday from a tall, well-dressed
stranger who represented himself to be a
son of the propriet.)r of the Stewart bakery
on Spring Garden street. The stranger
told Mr. Koons that a number of young
fellows intended to give a friend a "blow
out" and he was authorized to buy the
cigars for the occasicm. Securing 55
worth of cigars and f 5 in < hange, the
stranger left a Sio check and departed.
Subsequently Mr. Koons mvestigated
and found the check to be worthless. | ^
The same fellow worked the g.unc on a
hardware merchant and the police would
like to see him.

PETER" S A GOOD (;UESSOR.
Peter F. Murphy, the genial president
of the Penn Tobacco Co.. of South Sixth
street, was among the hn ky winner> of
the prizes awarded in the Floradora Tag
Company's guessing contest. He was
fourth in line and gets J 1,000. of which
he will doubtless use a little in h.inding
out smokes to his friends who were un-
lucky enough to guess far and wide of
the mark.

The retiil cigar dealers of Caimlen. N.

number of the smaller dealers in Camden
and oftlimcs their earnestness in the

FACTORIES ARE BUSY.
X'isits made to many cigar manufac-
turers by World representatives brings
forth the nev\> that most of them are
busy— unusually busy for the season —
with orders on hand and orders coming.
•We have all we want to do. said the
ol^ce manager of the X'icente Pottuondo
f.ictory. 'We are putting on additional
hands, " was the cheery news given out
at X'etterlein Bros." North Fifth Street
factory. .And similar expressions we e
heard from managers of other factories.
The general concensus of opinion is that
ic;o3 Januaiy business has far exceeded
the same month in it)02.

The Penn Tobacco I'ompany. succes-
sor to Peter F. Murphy, will shortly re-
move from its present location on South
Sixth street to the Keini building on the
south side of Market street, west of

WILL OPPOSE THE BLUE LAW.

A number of men interested in the re-
tail tobacco and confectionary trade as
well as a coramitteefrom the Philadelphia
Retail Cigar Dealers' Protective Associa-
tion, will visit Harrisburg, February 14th,
for the purpose of appearing before the
proper legislative committee to urge the
repeal of the "»Uue Law" of 1794 which
forbids the sale ot candy and cigars on
Sunday. It is said strong and convinc-
ing arguments have been prepared to
prove to the legislative committee that
the sales of several commodities have
become a necessity, not a sacrilige in
modern days, and that to forbid their
sale is an interference with constitu-
tionally guaranteed liberty.

MOSTLY PERSONAL
Leopold Loeb, l*iesident of the Loeb-
Nunez Havana Co. is on his way to Ha-
vana. Milton Herold, secretarx of the
company, arrived home Sunday from
that tobacco centre.

Continued good reports are received
of the healtli of Otto Eisenlohr. who went
to Florida to secure recreation and rest.

Prices have held firm Sales would have
been more frecjuent if the dematid for
certain grades could have been met.
' There was a good demand for Connec-

more of a demand than could be sup-
plie<i. There was also an increased de-
mand for Pennsylvania Broadleaf and

the manufacturers are busy and are

Lancaster, January 31, 1903.
The sales of old tobaccos continue to
be made in small scattering lots, the
volume of business being only moderate.
It is rumored that a fairly good sized
packing of 1 901 crop has been made;
while the rumor has not been confirmed,
the particulars pertaining thereto are
zealously guarded. There has been
several out of town buyers here during
the week, looking for old tobaccos, princ
ipally the 1900 crop. There are several
lots of that year's growth in the packers'
hands, and the holders of it are firm in
the prices demanded. Receipts of the

1902 crop continue heavy, the tobacco
being now in good condition. Occas-
sionally a crop is brought in that is not

Bitzer purchased 100 cases of tobacco
from Wilson, and he alle cs that Bit/er

Shortly afterwards he was declared a
bankrupt Wilson now claims at the
time he sold his toliacco Bitzer knew he
was bankrupt and made false representa
tions. Bitzer was 1 ir^ely indebted to M.
L. Weidman. and transferred the tobacco
to the latter as a collateral security.
Wilson issued a writ of replevin to re-
cover the same, but could seize only 41
cases. Bail was furnished and they re-
mained in Mr. Weidman' s possession.
The amount of money involved in the
suit is about {6 500. The Couit directed
the jury to find a verdict in favor of the

TKISCO LEAF MARKET QUIET

And Tnide Ciener.dly iheSame — Business
Clianges, I'eisonals, and Trade Notes

San Francisco, Jan. 27, 1903.
Receipts of leaf tobacco diirinjj^ the
past week have been hght and business
in th:it branch of the tobacco business
has been quiet, l)()th on account of the
season and on account of the coming of
the Chinese New Year's. The Chinese
employed in some of the factories stop
woik for from three days to a week at
that time and it makes a Diaterial differ-
ence in the amount of tobacco made up
into cigars. The wholesale cigar and to
b.icco business is very ijuiet. Retailers
are giving small orders in antici[)ation of
new deals and dealers are all holding
back awaiting the set! lenient of the taiiff
bills. Trade with the retaileis continues
brisk for the season and nearly every
retailer has made improvements in his
stand fixtures since the first of the year.
Among the new things in the tr.ide are
the new and elegant stands of Holt/,
Clymer & Co., C. F. Tomson, liatt Bros,
and Charley Newman.

A. Medau has gone to Washington
and Oregon and, if he finds the outlook
there favorable, will locate permanently.
Maurice Lesser, with Rinaldo Bros. <X:
Co . will start in the near future on a trip
to Los Angeles.

(i. Cohn &• Co., foimeily proprietors of
one of the leading cigar establishments
in the city, are gradually dropping their
cigar department and are confining their
attention to wholesale licjuors.

Meyer, Mish ^: Co., manufacturers of
cigars, state that the demand throughout
the Pacific Coast is for a better class of
goods. This company now covers Wash-
ington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Utah
and California.

Jon.is Schoenfeld & Co., leaf tobacco
dealers, received last week thirty bales
of Vuelta Abajo. S. S. Goldbert is now
out on his regular trip for the company.
A. Cioldbetg, of Conradi & Coldberg,
leaf dealers, will start in a few weeks on
hisregular I European tour of three months.
C. W. Hamerly has his factory again
in full swing and is making mf)re cigars
than he has marie for several months.

Kohlberg <S: Co. , leaf tobacco dealers,
received last week two car loads of binders
and fillers of Pennsylvania broad leaf.
This company reports some distuibance
in local trade circles due to the prospects
of some change in the price bills of the
union.

W. A. Jefferson, a cigar manufacturer
of Sacramento, was down last week
visiting the trade and making purchases
of leaf tobacco.

The Hoffmann Company is now mov-
ing to Its new quarters at 628 Sansome
street.

The A. Coolot Company, wholesale
cigar dealers, will be established in the
old quarters of Bolt/, Clymer & Co. at
217 Front street, by next Saturday.

January 21.

Local dealcis who are receiving ship-
ments of Havana goods made by the
Havana-American Cigar Comi)any, are
pleased to note that they are all banded.
This will put a stop to all illegal stuffing
of boxes.

Charley Newman, who bought out the
Riiss House stand, is fitting out one of
the finest cigar stands in the city.

M. A. Ciunst & Co., jobbers ;ind
retailers, this week received a large line
of imported goods of all si/es.

()s(ar Figel, importer of cigars, notes
that his trade is picking up nicely. Harry
Her/.og, his traveling representative in
the north, is sending in good orders.

J. Wood and William (Goodman have
leased a room in the Simon-Manasse
Building, at Hanford, Gal., and will
open a first-class tobacco and cigar
stand.

C. D. Chinn and V. M. Powell are

stand in the B.irrett Building at Lemoore,

ceeded H. Bogaske, a cigar manufacturer

WHAT CIGARS ARE LIKE.

I,udwig Barnay, the distinguished tra-
gedian of Germany, says cigars are like
gills — they burn for a man's kisses; ci-
g.trs are like good wives, they hang to the
lipsof men. Manyaman, however, throws
away his half-burned cigar in order to
light another which he fancies will suit
him better. Cigars are like pieces that
are written for the stage, something must
always be cut away from them before
they can be used. Cigars are like house-
wives— of not much account if forever
going out. Cigars are like lovers' vows
- one never quite knows when they are
genuine. Cigars are like weighty reso-
lutions, they should be treated with
deliberation. Cigars are like the so-called
realistic drama, tor some stomachs they
ate too strong, whereas for others they
are just the thing. The cigar is like a
sweetheart, if you absent your lips too
long from either the fire will go out.

Finally, the cigar is like mortal man —
before burning the cigar you take it from
a box, whereas, man is put into a box
before going to his final burning.

Shipments, 16 car loads. — Reporter.

CLARK WILLE, TENN.

Our receipts this week were 910 hhds,

all new crop; offerings (»n the breaks 36

hhds. nearly all low grade new leaf;

sales 26 hhds; market firm and unchanged.
Stocks of the new crop are steadily in-
creasing in the warehouses. The stocks
of old leaf are reduced to perhaps 200 to
300 hhds.

The loose tobacco market continues
firm to strong at full prices, and perhaps
full 75 per cent of the crop has changed
from the planters hands to the prizing
houses.

Theindependent stemmcrs seem firmly
convinced that every shipment of strips
from the new crop would lower the value
of their stocks in Great Britain, and we
have not heard of an idle stemmery being
reopened.

Those cigar manufacturers who prosper
at all prosper for the same reason that
the leaf men prosper and that is chiefly
because each is constantly engaged in the
study involved in the production of a
merchantable cigar. 1 think the fact
that most of the cigars now being made
in the United States are honest cigars, is
largely to be attributed to the determina-
tion common among all cigar leaf sales-
men to provide their customers with
precisely suitable tobaccos. It is true that
all successful cigar manuf.icturers know
what they want, what prices to pay for it.
what disposition to make of it after they
have bought it, but those among them
are remarkably few who could identify a
piece of tobacco from a miscellaneous
assortment thrown down before them.
The manufacturer who has had success
with, we will say, a combination of Su-
matra, Wisconsin, I'ennsylvania B's, or
Onondaga B's will not hesitate to buy
those goods again if the opportunity
comes his way, and the salesman who
may happen along with just the right
goods has easy enough sailing. But, un-
like the manufacturer, the salesman is
required to know the qualities of all
kinds of leaf, and the more thorough his
knowledge the greater his value to his
house — and to his customer. The sales-
man in whom the customer has confi-
dence may be short at a patticular time
when it is needed «if a certain type of leaf

The subscription price to The Tobacco World
has been reduced, and is now only |1.<I() per year.
It is the first and only tobacco paper In the
world, published weekly at One Dollar the year.

Subscriptions are payable Invariably In ad-
vance, and reniitiauces may l)c made by bank
check, post office money order, or in {wstagc
stamps Koreinn rates are $2.(K) per annum.

The Tobacco World is the best of all Tobacco
Papers because:

1. It is conducted by men whose technical knowl
edge of every branch of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, and whose
personal acquaintance in the trade is most extensive.

2. The Tobacco World treats all questions and all
individuals and corporations wiih absolute fairness.

3. The Tobacco World voices the sentiments of
the trade and all its branches on all public questions.

4. The Tobacco World is always the first to
give the news. ,,, .^ .

5. The circulation of The Tobacco World is so
large that its advertising patrons may confidently
count upon returns.

6. The Tobacco World's advertising rates are
always reasonable, and correspondence on this
subject is solicited from the trade.

7. The Tobacco World numbers among its
volunteer contributors the best informed and most
widely known and influential meml)crs of the trade
in the United SUtes, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the
Philippines, in Mexico and Central America, in
South America, in Europe, in Indiaand in Australia.
A single contribution from any of these persons is
worth manv times the cost of a year's subscriptimi.

8 During 11K)2 the most striking novelty in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, which
began on January 1, with a chapter entitled "The
Truth Al)outthe Discovery of Tobacco," contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald &
Bro , of New York, and now the president of the
National Cigar Leaf Association . ended on December
24 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
lean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester.
N. H. Each of the other fifty chapters was con
tributed by a different, hut equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjovable as to make the "Comic
History of Tobacco' by Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To
bicco*' will l>e published in book form, handson:ely
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustratetl. and will
l)e sent to any address in the Unite<l States, Porto
Rico or the Philippines on receipt of f 1. 00, po.stage
prepaid. Two dollars will pav for an annual sub-
scription to The Tobacco World and for the "Comic
Historv of Tobacco."

• 9. The Medicine Man, trusted and beloved by all
readers of The Tobacco World, will continue
throughout 1903 to pour out the treasures of his
learning and the gcnialitv of his unfailing good
humor for the benefit of his friends among the pale-
faces. A year under the instruction of the Me<licine
Man is a lioeral education.

10. If you wHut a tenth reason for enrolling your
name on The Tobacco World's sul)scription list
look into your own heart and ask yourself this
question : " Whv should not I read what all iny
brothers in the trade are reading each week with
delight and profit, in order that I may l)e as well

NEEILSCHAVN. AMBROID ANDBR.IAR.

Tompkinsville, S. I., Feb. 6. 1903.
Dear Medicine Man.

Please enlighten a little group of your
p jpils here on the subject of meerschaum,
ambroid and briar. This is pipe smok-
ing time on Staten Island, and several of
us are trying to color the meerschaum
pipes we got at Chri'tmas time. Others,
who are fond of out doors, swear by the
briar pipe. Your courtesy will oblige all
of us, Dutch Potato Parmrr.

ANSWER.

Every pipe smoker has entert.uned an '
ambition to own and color a meerschaum.
Most worshippers at the shrine of to-
bacco, have cherished this ambition until
they accomplished the ownership ; some
have persevered until the milky gloss
of the meerschaum has given place to the
rich brown polish of the colored pipe.
But very few know about meerschaum —
what it is, where it comes from, what it
costs, and, above all, why and how it
colors.

There is even more ignorance about
the amber that is used for pipe stems,
and well-nigh as much about briar root,
which comes next to meerschaum as a
material for pipes.

There used to be a theory that mecr-
schaum was made of seafoam. This
idea grew out of the name which is sup-
posed to be a combination of the two
German words, meer, meaning sea, and
schaum, meaning foam or scum. This
supposition is not an absolute certainty,
however, as there is a possibility that
the name is a corruption of the Tartaric
word myrsen, meaning clay.

Meerschaum is a clay of peculiar
properties — a hydrous silicate of mag-
nesia, very light, and in its raw state
very porous. It is found only in Asia
Minor in quantities large enough to
justify the mining of it A great many
of the inhabitants of that part of the
Sultan's empire make a Uving digging
out the soft white clay. Most of it is

Of course, there are grades of meer-
schaum— eleven in all. You can buy
the lowest grade tor about $25 a case.
You sometimes see a pipe made of that
stuff. It is sandy and jjritty, and full of
holes and veins. No self-respecting
manufacturer would use such material.
, Satisfactory pipes may be made of some
I of the lower grades of meerschaum.
They color all right, but they can' t be
used for fine carving.

Speaking of coloring, it may be ex-
plained that what makes a meerschaum
pipe color and take on polish is the wax
in it. You might take an unwaxed bit
of meerschaum and smoke it a million
years and it would only turn a dirty yel-
lowish brown. The wax gives the clay
what is called a "skin," and it is this
skin that takes on the rich color and
gloss.

The process of making a pipe is in-
teresting. The artisan selects a block
of the proper proportions and proceeds
to drill out the bowl. There is a ma-
chine for this purpose with drills of var-
ious sizes. Then the stem hole is made.
If it is to be an ornamented pipe a great
deal of the work is done by hand, but if
it is to be a plain pipe, such as most
veteran smokers prefer, there are ma-

do not break the "skin" inside. If you
do a cracked bowl will be the result.
As the pipe absorbs nicotine the wax in
the clay takes it up and brings it to the
surface. Where the wax is most plenti-
ful there the color is deepest. That is
why pipes always color first in the stem.
The heat melts the wax and it naturally
sinks. If one were to always hold a
pipe upside down while smoking it the
rim of the bowl would color first.

After you have smoked your new pipe
a few months you will probably find that
the upper part of the bowl is dirty and
clayey looking and there are scratches
on it. This is a critical period in a
pipe's career. If you don't know why
and how pipes col«)r you will probably
think you have a bad piece of meer
schaum, or you will believe you have
ruined it by burning it. As a matter of
fact, there is no cause for alarm. All
the pipe needs is wax. Rub hot bees-
wax on it two or three times and the
gloss will be restored, the scratches dis-
appear and the coloring will come out on
the bowl as well as the stem.

Some expect pipemen use linseed oil
as well as beeswax. They claim that it
gives a cherry tint to the pipe that wax
dees not. One veteran smoker, who

chines that enable the workman to turn 1 has a collection of pipes colored by him-
out a job in quick time. After the pipe | self, claims that the handsomest specimen

is perfectly shaped and the threads for
the screw of the mouthpiece are cut and
the amber is selected for the mouthpiece,
the pipe is polished with a blade of dry
grass. It then looks like crayon, such
as is used to write with on blackboards
and it feels like it. If you stick your
tongue to it, it will stick.

It is then ready to get its wax skin. A
basin containing several pounds of clari-
fied beeswax is placed over a hot fire.
As soon as the wax comes to a boil, the
pipe is dropped into it. It is allowed to
remain there a minute or two, and is
then fished out and rubbed clean, inside
and out

Look at it now and you will under-
stand what the "skin" of a pipe is. In
stead of a porous looking piece of chalk
you see a pipe with a surface that would
shame the finest bit of ivory for gloss
and smoothness and it is superior in
beauty to ivdry in that like a fair woman's
skin, even in its original whiteness, it
has a promise of warmth and life.

The pipe having been waxed is ready
for its stem. As soon as that is fitted on
it is ready to be smoked.

If it comes to you as a gift or by pur-
chase you will get a lot of gratuitous ad-
vice about its treatment, most of which
is not only valueless, but foolish.

One man will tell you to have it covered
with kid. Another will warn you against
letting it get too hot. Another will ad-
vise the immediate necessity of a color-
ing bowl. Others will sing the praises
of perique as a coloring agent while
others will inveigh against all tobaccos
but some brand of "navy" that smells
like a tanyard on fire.

If you are wise you will pay no heed

he has from the color standpoint, is the
result of an experiment that few persons
would like to try. The pipe, a plain,
straight-stemmed affair, that is now a
symphony in black, brown and red, had
been smoked about two years and looked
like a piece of dirty chalk.

The owner removed the mouthpiece
and coated the pipe a sixteenth of an
inch deep with beeswax. Then he
wrapped it in paper and set fire to the
paper. The wax was melted, of course,
and the pipe sucked up a large portion
of it When the experimenter wiped
the pipe off his heart was made heavy
by what he saw. The bowl was a
mottled yellowish brown and gray, so
ugly it was nasty to look at The owner
plucked up heart and smoked the pipe.
The gray tint disappeared, but the yellow
was as ugly as ever. The pipeman then
tried linseed oil. He applied it to the
pipe hot several times a day, and in a
week had brought out the coloring that
is now so much admired.

"It was a success, but I don't want to
try it again." said he. "It is better to
heat the wax and pour it on with a spoon,
then rub it off with a soft cloth."

If you wish to use a coloring bowl get
one that does not sink too deeply into
the bowl of your pipe. Then fill the
vacant space in the pipe bowl with cotton
or some other absorbent that will hold
the smoke and let it gradually percolate
through the wax "skin."

Amber, which is used principally for
the mouthpieces of pipes, is found only
in and on the shores of the Baltir Sea.
It is a resinous substance and is supposed
to be the petrified product of submerged
pine forests. There are two kinds used
by pipemakers. One is the "stone*
amber, which is found in pieces ranging
in size from the dimensions of a pea up
to several inches long. The other is a
manufactured article and is known to

small pieces of stone amber, fused by a
secret process. There is only one fac-
tory of it — that at Koenigsberg, on the
shore of the Baltic — and it is controlled
by the German Government.

Few people ever heard of ambroid.
Few smokers suspect that the long sticks
of clear or clouded amber that are at-
tached to pipes are not the "real thing."
Tell the average man that the mouth-
piece on his pipe is an artificial product
and he will resent it but if it is more
then an inch long it is very sure to be
ambroid.

And any honest pipemaker will tell
you that it is none the worse for that
Indeed, in some respects it is better.

Ambroid comes in cakes about an inch
and a half thick, three inches wide and
ten inches long. One of these blocks
weighs two pounds, costs :^24 and looks
like an exaggerated bar of soap. A
mouthpiece, two inches long, cut out of
it will cost you about $1.50. Many such
mouthpieces can be sawed out of a block
of ambroid, as there is very little waste,
but the workmen have to be paid.

Stone amber in pieces larger than
1x1x3 inches costs about five times as
much as ambroid, but in very small bits
it is cheaper than the manufactured
article. You are, therefore, much more
likely to get stone amber when you buy
a pipe with a very short mouthpiece than
you are to get ambroid.

It is the amber or ambroid mouth-
piece that makes a briar pipe expensive.
You can have a briar bowl made for 35
cents out of a choice block of imported
briar root, and if you buy that same bowl
with amber mouthpiece attached you will
pay $2 for it without a case to carry it in.
Probably you do not know that P>ench
briar is not a product of France.

It is found in Italy and in the islands
of the Mediterranean Sea, and came to
be known as French briar because the
French first used it for pipes.

It is a heavy, compact wood, very fine
of grain and susceptible of a beautiful
polish. It colors under the gentle in-
fluence of tobacco, and, like a meer-
schaum, grows stronger and sweeter with
age and use. Many smokers perfer it
to meerschaum.

The briar is shipped to this country in
sacks holding one gross of blocks. These
blocks come in twenty-four different
shapes. They cost from 2 cents to 10
cents each. One difficulty the maker
has is the impossibility of telling whether
a block is Ai quality until it is made
into a pipe. About one block in twelve
turns out a perfect pipe. The slightest
flaw will put it in the second class.

Makers of real briar pipes complain
bitterly that certain Eastern firms are
foisting laurel wood pipes on the trade
for briar. Laurel makes a handsomer
pipe than briar and is much cheaper,
but it is not good to smoke. It is bitter,
and the older it gets the worse it is.

Apple also makes a pretty pipe, but
no experienced smoker will buy more
than one pipe made of it.

Adopted by the Leading Manufacturers.

This is the simplest and most
practical tool yet introduced in con-
nection with cigar making. The
cutting rollers are so equipped with
interior springs that they only pro-
duce enough pressure to cut the leaf,
thus maintaining a sharp edge on
the die, and assuring a perfect, clean
cut, superior to hand- work. The
circumference of the cutting roller
being greater than the length of the
die, makes tearing or streaking of
the wrapper impossible. Then, af-
ter the leaf has been cut, a slight
depression with the right foot pedal
will lower the die even with the ta-
ble, thus making a perfectly smooth
and rigid surface, enabling the oper-

ator to roll with thefu 1 palm of the
hand, instead of pushing the cigar
along with the finger tips.

Changing of the die to any shape
or from right to left, or the reverse,
is a very simple matter on this ta-
ble, and can be done within two
minntes time

These points of mt-rit, coupled
with othtrrr> not nitrniiuned, have
won for this table the hijjh standard
of excellence maintaintd to-day, a
fact that cannot conscientiously be
claimed by any of its competitors.

We stand ready to prove our
statement, and all we ask is the
opportunity. We think it will pay
you to investigate.

THE LIBERMAN MANUFACTURING COMPANY

223-5-7 S. Fifth St., Philadelphia, Pa.

H. Upmann & Co. shipped 750,000
cigars by the S. S. "Morro Castle," and
were also buyers of several hundred
bales of tobacco upon a commission
basis lor northern friends.

Miguet Gutierrez y Gutierrez says that
many of the small farmers in the Vuelta
Arriba have totally abandoned their
fields as it would not pay them any
longer to separate the weeds from the
few remaining stunted plants, left after j
the recent inunda'.ions. He has cut
some 8000 cujes upon his farm in the
famous Tumbadero district and he sold
350 bales, 1st and 2d capaduras of his
1902 Kemedios packing.

Walter Himml executed orders for 200
bales of old 1st capaduras for his custo-
mers.

Bruno Diaz & Co. are likewise always
active and report 300 bales as sold of
Vuelta Abajo. Partido and Kemedios
tobacco.

John Sutter has spent ten days very
profitably in riding over the country
with Don Marco Pollack to convince
himself of the parts of the i(yo3 crop
already cut and still in the field, as well
as to secure as much as possible of the
coming new tobacco, and thus to protect
their numerous customers' interests,
which lock to Sutter Bros. , Inc., as the
source from which to derive their sup-
plies later on in the season.

Ernest ICllinger wishes to rectify the
mistaken rumor that he is to become
the successor of Don Vicente (luerra,
and says he will only attend to the buy-
ing of leaf tobacco for the Cuban Ameri-
can Mfg. Co.

L. Ftiedman & Co. — Mr. i Louis Can-
tor, who arrived ten days ago, is here
principally to make arrangements for
packing V^uelta Abajo and Partido to-
bacco this year upon a larger scale than
heretofore, and it is said that he has
secured ijuite a nutnber of the most
famous vegas. The sales of this house
amounted to 100 bales of Kemedios, this
week, ^r*^

= ' . I

Neuhaus, Neumann & Co. are ship- \
ping 150,000 cigars by the "Morro

"High Life" is working steadily with
the usual number of hands, showmg that
there is no perceptible slackening in the
demand for this aromatic brand of
cigars.

Trade News.
San Francisco, Feb. 3, 1903.
The rumor is current that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company is endeavoring
to obtain control of the business of M.
A. Gunst t&Co., extensive wholesale and
retail tobacconists. Milton H. Esber;j[,
treasurer of the company and secretary
of the Esberg Gunstcompanyof Portlind,
Oregon, admits that the American To-
bacco Company has made overtures to
buy. "Everything has its price, ' said
Mr. Esberg. "Nothing but what will
sell if the price is great enough — except
virtue. " Opinions of dealers about town
are generally that M. A. Gunst & Co.
will continue as it is for several years.
Union cigarmakers of this city are be-
ginning to leel their oats. Times with
them have bern exceedingly good and
work steady for a long period. They
are contemplating a strike for higher pay.
In Oakland last week the employees of
Dick Smith handed him a schedule of
from a dollar to three dollars per thou-
sand raise, and he adopted it. But man-
ufacturers here have agreed among them-
selves to close the factories in case of a
demand for higher prices and if the older
heads among the cigar makers have their
way, there will be no strike. The younger
enthusiasts agitated a strike last spring,
but the majority saw the folly of it.

A. T. Phillips, San Francisco repre-
sentative of John J. Bagley & Co., Detroit, I
Michigan, escorted a party of sightseers
through Chinatown on January 28, the
Chinese New Years Day.

The Red Seal cigar factory is now tak-
ing the precaution to band all their better
class of cigars and are having designs
made for new bands.

H. L. Judell has secured for his com-
pany a new line of excellent cigars from
Alonze Diaz. Emil Judell, son of the
proprietor, has started on the road.

Max Silverthau, of Silverthau & Co.,
New York, is in San Francisco visiting
the local jobbers.

Sol Kahn, jobber, is laying in a new
line of cle.ir Havana goods.

E. Goslinsky. leaf dealer, reports busi
ness exceedingly good for January.

Morilz Haas, of Haas Bros., is now in
this city visiting the wholesalers. Manuel
Lopez of New York is also here, making j
his headquarters with J. A. Drinkhouse
& Co. S. Graf, traveling representative
for J. A. Drinkhouse & Co., has just re-
turned from Humboldt county, and will
start north again next week.

O. A. Newsome has sold his tobacco
business in Pleasanton, Cal. , to A. A.
Macleod and will start in business again
in Oxnard, Cal.

Harry (^ppcnhiemer, of Oppenheimer
& Bros. . wholesalers, is now able to re-
sume work at the office after having been
confined to bed for three months by sick-

ness.

The commercial introduction of Mexi-
can tobacco into this territory is due the
company of which L A. Sawyer is San
Francisco agent His company is plan-
ning an extensive advertising campaign,
feeling that the only thing necessary to
increase the popularity of pure Mexican
tobacco is to get the public to try it.

A. Sant;\ella. manufacturer of the
Optimo cigar has left this city for Chicago,
en route to Havana. S. Hamburger will
follow him to-morrow.

When the retail store of M. Blaskower
& Co. is completed it will be one of the
most handsome stores in the city.

A. T. Phillips, dealer in manufactured
tobacco, notes that there has been an
advance on this coast of one cent on
bond, lime cured and sun cured. This
puts it back to the former price.

According to several cigar dealers there
is now a tendency in the popular demand
for seeded Havana cigars in preference
to clear Havanas.

A TOBACCO BOX THAT GREW.

The original Westminster tobacco box
was bought 200 years ago by an over-
seer of Westminster, named Monck. It
was purchased at a • Hoin Fair" for four-
pence, being made of horn, and just big
enough to put into the pocket. When
the overseers met, Mr. Monck filled it
with tobacco and each overseer helped
himself. In 1713 he presented the box
to the Past Overseers' Society, and seven
years later the members placed a silver
rim round the lid to commemorate the
donor. A silver side case and bottom
was added in 1726, and in 1740 an em-
bossed border, with a figure of Charity,
was place on the lid. Hogarth's en-
graving of the Duke of Cumberland, with
allegorical figures representing the battle
of Culloden, may be seen inside.

In 1 765 an interwoven scroll was added
to the lid. with a plate bearing the arms
of the city, and an inscription setting
forth that a penalty of five guineas was
incurred for failing to hand over the box
to every succeeding set of overseers.
Shortly afterward the box was placed in
a silver case lined with crimson velvet,
and this, in turn, was enveloped in a
third, fourth, fifth and sixth cSst, with
silver plates engraved with emblematical
and historical subjects, portraits and in-
scriptions. Another case of panelled
oak was added in 1878. and upon this
are placed a representation of Cleopatra's
Needle, and records of the war between
Turkey and Russia, the loss of H. M. S*
Eurydice, the opening of the new West-
minster infirmary, and other local events.
Another plate was added to the box in
1882, and this bears finely engraved
portraits with dates of the deaths of lx)rd
Beaconsfield, Lord Hatherley, and Dean
Stanley. In 1887 the outside case was
sui mounted by a silver statuette of the
late (jueen Victoria. In the inner cases
may be seen some beautiful engravings
representing, among other things, the
fireworks display in St. James's Park at
the peace of Aix La Chapelle. Admiral
KeppeT s action oflf Ushant, the battles
of the Nile, Trafalgar and Waterloo, the
bombardment of Algiers in 1816. the
interior of the House of Lords at the trial
of (^ueen Caroline, portraits of Nelson,
Wilkes — churchwarden and Lord Mayor
— Howe, \ incent. Fox, Pitt, George IV.
as Prince Regent, and (^ueen Charlotte.
In 1783 the penalty for failing to hand
the box over to successive ovei seers was
fixed at 50 guineas. Thus it comes
about that this remarkable reHc depicts
in the growth from a small pocket to-
bacco box to a big chest, much of the
history of the nation and of Westminster
during the past 3oo years.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

All the Sumatra buyers are kicking :
because the Mynheers of Amsterdam j
have set March i8 as the date for the |
first insctiption this year. This is the
first time that a firbt inscription has been
held so early in the season, and the
Americans have been taken somewhat
unawares. That is, however, not the
worst of it. Since the first inscription
takes place on March i8, the first inspec-
tion day, at which it is impoitant that
most buyers should be present, will take
place on March 12, and the Americans
will consequently have to husi'e to get
to Amsterdam in time. Max .\dler, of
Leonard Friedman & Co., always an
early bird, sails on February 28. on the
Kronland. which sets a notoriously
mediocre table. A. Cohn and Leonaid I
A. Cohn of A. Cohn & Co., Louis I'.
Sutler, of Sutter Bros, .and Joseph Hirsch,
of Joseph Hirsch & Son, will sail on the
Celtic on March 4. Benno Neuberger,
of E. Rosenwald & Bro.. will sail on
March 10, on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse. Max F. Schneider will not leave
for Europe until after the first inscription.
Many American houses will, of course,
be represented at the earlier inscriptions
by their resident European buyers.

But a first inscription so early as
March 18, is not the worst of this busi-
ness. The inscription season ol 1903
will be an unusually protracted one, with
long waits between the inscriptions and
a long vacation after August 1. For
these reasons the Americans are out of
humor just now with the Mynheers of
Amsterdam.

Spring Forge Ciga.rinakers' Strike.

Twenty cigarmakers employed by D,
E. Woodmansee, the well-known cigar
manufacturer at Spring Forge, Pa., went
out on strike January 31, upon being
refused an advance of 50 cents per
thousand for making cigars. Mr.
Woodmansee held that he was paying
the regular market wages ; that he could
not, consistent with his expenses and
trade conditions, pay more, and that he
was therefore justified in refusing the
advance demanded. It is likely the
trouble will be amicably adjusted.

KnigKis Wouldn't Listen.

At the annual banquet of the Knights
of Pythias, at Stroudsburg, Feb. 4th, R.
R. Coolbaugh, a prominent Democrat,
spoke on behalf of Senator /ern's anti-
cigarette bill. Strong opposition was
shown, and Coolbaugh was not allowed
to finish his speech.

Would Not R.everse Action.

The anti-cigarette bill, which prohibits
the manufacture or sale of cigarettes
within the State, was brought up for re-
consideration in the House of the Dela-
ware Legislature Feb. 6th. A motion
to reverse the action of the House,
which passed the bill, was lost.

The Supreme Court of Iowa handed
down a decision February 2, in which it
decided thu the Iowa cigarette tax,
whi( h imposes a tax of I300 on all dealers
in cigarettes, is valid. Each of ihe three
defects in the law alleged against it by
the American Tobacco Company, which
brought a test suit, was declared by the
Court not well taken.

At the request of the (ierman- Ameri-
can Alliance of Philadelphia, Senator
William H. Berkelbach recently intro-
duced a bill m the Senate of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature providing that ( igar,
confectionery and drug stores may
legally keep open on Sunday for the
sale of wares. The passaj^e of the bill
would result in the lepeal of the so-
called "Blue Law' of 1794 which for-
bids the opening of cigar, candy and
other stores on the first day of the week,
common iV called Sunday.

Senator Berkelbachs bill stirred up a
feeling of opposition among the mem-
beis of the Philadelphia Sunday Closing
Association, ministers and others, and
they asked to be allowed to appear
beftre the Committee on Law and Order
of the Senate to which the bill was
referred, in order to oppose iis passage.

Fiiends of the bill — and they include
the members of four business associa-
tions, among them the Retail Cigar and
Tobacco Dealers" .Association of Phila-
delphia, at once decided that they too,
would appear before the Legislature
committee and urge the bill's passage.
Tuesday, February loth, was set by the
committee for the hearing.

Three of the business associations that
favor the passage of the bill, held a
meeting at Industrial Hall last Friday
night to take action on the matter. It
was decided to send a strong delegation
to Harrisburg, to appear before the Leg-
islative committee. On the same even-
ing the German American Alliance also
held a meeting, at Broad street and
Columbia avenue, and arranged to send
a delegation to Harrisburg to urge the
passage of Senator Berkelbach's bill.

It is a fact so well known as to be
beyond dispute, that the 1794 "Blue
Law," providing for the closing of cigar,
candy, drug and other stores, has been
virtually a dead letter for years. There
have been, it is true, periodical attempts
to enforce the law. but they ultimately
failed and matters went on as before.
It was seen that there was a strong feel-
ing in favor of permitting cigar, drug,
confectionery and like stores to do busi-
ness on Sunday. That these stores have
conducted their Sunday sales in a man-
ner befitting the Sabbath is admitted by
all but a few fanatics of the vintage of
the sixteenth century witch-hanging
days.

The smaller candy and cigar dealers
of Philadelphia who have been arrested
under the 1794 law for keeping open
shop and selhng goods on Sunday were
incensed at what they asserted was their
persecution at the hands of the Sunday
closing association officers. No large
dealers or hotel keepers, said the small
dealers, were arrested or molested —
only small dealers in comparatively
quiet parts of the city. Referring to the
matter, a man in the tobacco business
who takes a deep interest in the Sunday
closing movement said : "Consistency
is a Jewel the Sunday closing fanatics

seem to be strangers to. In asking thfe
enforcement of the 1794 law why did
they prosecute cigar store and candy
shop people only r Do they not know
that under the 1794 law business of all
kinds and classes could — and by right,
should, be stopped on Sunday ? Under
a strict interpretation of the Blue Law
referred to. the street cars have no right
to run ; cabs and carriages have no legal
right to do business ; milk men cannot
sell milk nor deliver it; livery stables
cannot hire out rigs ; newspapers have
no right to print, issue, deliver or sell
their papers — in fact pretty much every
and all kinds of occudation would have
to cease on Sunday. Suppose, in retali-
ation, the cigar dealers inaugurate a
crusade against newspaper selling, milk
selling and the running of street cars —
wouldn't a grand howl of protest go up ?
Well, what is sauce for the goose should
be sauce for the gander and it is unfair
to single out the candy and cigar shop
people for prosecution while allowing
others to violate the same law. The
law should be observed by all alike,
great or small, if it be observed at all,
but in my opinion the law of 1 794 should
be repealed. Sunday was made for
man ; man was nbt made to observe
Sunday regulations made by fanatics."

BEFORE THE SEN ATE COMMITTEE
The delegates appeared before the
committee shortly after two o'clock and
were promptly called to order by the
•chairman. Delegates representing the op-
posing faction were first heard, and were
sixteen in number.

The Allied Associations from Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and other points were
then heard, and their arguments clearly
outclassed the arguments from their op-

7.000 BUNCHES A DAY.

A recent article in The Tobacco World
stated that a girl in a Circleville, O.,
factory recently broke 6,000 bunches in
one day on a machine. This article
brings forth the statement from the
Winget Machine Company, of York, Pa.,
that a boy in the employ of the Keystone
Cheroot Co. 's factory, at Hanover, makes
7,000 bunches almost every day, using
the Perfecto Bun( hing Machine manufac-
tured by the Winget Co. The company
also asserts that many operators make
6,000 bunches per day. The Winget
machine is a self feeder and is operated
by foot power.

DUNN COMPANY INCORI'ORATKS.
The T. J. Dunn X: Co. cigar business
was incorporated in New Jersey, Feb. 4;
capital. $500,000. Theodore Werner &
Co., of New York, pun based the Dunn
factories Feb. i from the heirs of the late
Henry Heymann, as has already been
noted in The Tobacco World. Mr.
Werner has taken charge personally of
the work of making an inventory. No
one connected with the old firm will re-
main with the new. It was thought for
some time that the Dunn factories would
be conducted by the widow and two sons
of the late Mr. Heymann but now that
the sale has been effected Gerson Hey-
mann, one of the sons, will become ron.
nccted with a large woolen manufacturing
firm, while his brother, Joseph C. Hey-
mann, will start a new cigar factory
within a short time, his intention being
to manufacture clear Havana (igars. For
the present Werner & Co. will occupy the
Dunn factory on North Broad street. The
other Dunn factories will be run in-
definitely.

UNPROFITABLE VISITORS.
Burglars entered Philip Tunis' cigar
store, 701 South Eighth street, Philadel-
phia, on the night of February 3, and
stole pipes, cigarholders and knives
valued at $75.

ONi: MOORK STORK.
W. B. Moore has opened his new
branch cigar store at Sec ond and Market
streets. The signs and decorations are
very neat and effective and an attractive
display is made of cigars, pipes and to-
baccos. The new store is catching its
share of trade.

KLKCTKD A DIRECTOR.
H. D. Miller, of Frishmuth Bros. &
Co., attended the meeting of the Inde-
pendent Tobacco Manufacturers of the
United States at Washington, Feb. 3 and
4, and was elected a director of the per-
manent organization.

"The independent manufacturers have
organized toadvancetheir interests," said
Mr. Miller to a World reporter. "They
did not organize to attack any corporation
or individual but to help along the inter-
ests of the independent tobacco manu-
facturers. We had .1 successful conven-
tion and I believe the organization will
prove a gr^at benefit to its members."

The organization of the Independent
Tobacco Manufacturers will meet annu-
ally and during the year business matters

! affecting members will be looked after by

j a board of directors.

L LOKB IN HAVANA.
Per letter from Leopold Loeb, who is

in Havana, the Philadelphia house was
apprised Monday that he has been suc-
cessful in selling a large amount of the
firm's tobacco holdings and has also
purchased a number of desirable lots.
Mr. Loeb is apt lo remain in Cuba for
several weeks to come.

BOITGHT A CORNER PROPERTY.

The Girard Estate has purchased the
building at Fifth and Chestnut street, in
which is located the cigar store of M. J.
Dalton & Co. It may be that sometime
in the future a new and larger building
will be erected on the corner, but at
present no change is scheduled.

SUNDAY OPENING CASES.

Argument was heard before Judges
Davis and Ralston in Common Pleas
Court No. 5, .Monday, on the rules to
quash the writ of certiorari recently
issued to test the legality of the arrests
of five West Philadelphia cigar dealers,
who were fined for violating the Sunday
closing law of 1794. Decision was re-
served.

ANOTHER TRADE CHANGE.
The firm of Weigman Bros., Rabino-
vitch & Co. , was dissolved last Saturday,
Rabinovitch & Co. retiring and the Weig-
man Bros, being succeeded by the Phil-

adelphia Tobacco Co., which will con-
tinue the business of the old firm at the
old stand, 514 South Fourth street. E.
Rabinovitch & Co. will start a new and
separate factory for the manufacture of
Egyptian and Turkish cigarettes as soon
as they can secure a suitable location.
: They have already registered the name
; Golos, as a trade-mark for one of their
makes of cigarettes.

The accompanying halftone illustration
is that of a check which may in time
have a cherished historical value for the
members of the cigar dealers' association
of the Quaker City.

At the meeting of the Retail Cigar
Dealers' Protective Association of Phila-

delphia, on the evening of January 14, a
representative of a large number of the
cigar manufacturers formally presented
Joseph E. Tuck, President of the Re-
tailers' Association, the check here
illustrated which, it will be noted, calls
for $1,000. This was the sum voluntarily

contributed by the cigar manufacturers to
the Retailers' Association as an expression
of good will and a sign that they were in
sympathy with the objects of the new
organization. The check was accepted
in the same spirit as given and a hearty
vote of thanks was returned to the manu-

facturers. It is hinted that in due dme
the original check will be framed and
hung in the office of the Secretary of the
Retailers' .Association.

have kept busy and even put on new
hands, has tended to make cigarmakers
scarce in the Quaker City. It would
seem too, as though this condition was
known in other centres for there has been
an influx of cigar makers during the past
month and almost all of them have
promptly secured work. Reports from
other Pennsylvania trade centres indicate '
a similar condition and it is thus made
clear that cigar manufacturers generally
are doing a good business. January
business this year far exceeded that of
1902.

TITLE TAKEN BY TRUST CO.
The Real Estate Title Insurance and
Trust Company took title February 3, to
the building at 527 Chestnut street oc-
cupied by H. B. Grauley as a cigar fac-
tory. Consideration, 175,000.

"MOONSHINE" CIGARS SEIZEID.

Several weeks ago revenue officials
seized a number of unstamped cigars j
which had been shipped from 124 Mul-
berry street, New York, to Dominick
Parziale of Twelfth and Kimball streets,
Philadelphia. Parziale was arrested and
it developed that he was blind, and,
though the government's agents seized
10,000 unstamped cigars addressed to
him and labeled as groceries, they have
been unable to secure any incriminating
evidence as to a conspiracy. The ac-
cused man protested that he purchased
the cigars in^good faith, and because of
his blindness could not tell whether they
were stamped.

Giriaco Itali was arrested February 3,

on suspicion of selling liquor without
paying a revenue tax. At the same time
the revenue officials discovered 2,000 un-
stamped or "moonshine" cigar?. The
cigar-, which were seized, were found
at 727 and 769 Sou h Seventh street,
907 South Eighth street and 712 Schell
street— in that part of Philadelphia known
as "Little Italy." The propriet* rs weie
taken to the Internal Revenue office,
where all pro ested their innocence of
wrongdoing. All are Italians and keep
small grocery shops and cigar stores.
The cigars, it >s thought, are made in
Mulberry street. New York. They are
put in boxes which have been pre\ iously
used for cigars and bear the cancelled
stamp, which is a violation o( the law.

The agents are working on the theory
that there is a band of men manufactur-
ing and shipping contraband rig.irs and
whisky from one city to another in the
guise of other merchandise in order to
avoid paying revenue taxes.

WILL EMPLOY MANY HANDS.
A. S. V^alentine \ Son. cigar manu-
facturers of Womelsdorf. I'.i., have leased
the new four-story building at 11618
North Seventh street, and before the end
of the month will start a factory employ-
ing between tour and five hundred hands
to manufacture cigars.

I GOOD CIGAR ADVICE.

i The sign artist with the Fellheimer &

I Co. factory on North Fourth i-treei, has
been having a "think or two." with the
result that sever «! clever signs are before
the passing public settng forth the qual-

ities and advantages of that factory's ci-
gars. One sign advises passers-by to
"smoke cigars - not bands," while an-
other reads: "Silence is golden; our ci-
gars speak for themselves.' '

A DEPARTMKNT STORK DISPLAY.
While ihey have not yet gone into
handling cigtrs. Lit Krothers have for
some time carried a fair-sized stock of
smokers' materials, ornaments and pipes
and this week make quite a display of
the goods in a >how case placed on the
Market street side of their I uge stores.
The display is attracting its share of at-
tention.

WILLIAM SCLALM.
It is <{uite possible that a fortune awai s
the inventor who discovers how to m mu
facturer paper from tobacco. Assuming
that the 'paper'" (if such it could be
called) is made of tobacco and tobacco
only, the somewhat vexed 'wr.ipper
problem' mrght be in a fair way of being
solved. Experiments in making t ibacco
paper have been carried on for years and
the iatest inventor who claims to have
successfully dis. overed the secret of mak-
ing paper from tobacco leaves for cigar-
ettes is WiUi.im Gilds, of Chester, Pa.
Acc<.rding to a dispatch sent out from that
city William starts for Europe next week
with his se< ret and hopes to make a
fortune there with it. Why not make it
in this country?

ALLE(,ED TOBACCO THIEF.
Camden police arres ed a man Satur-
day last who gave the name of John Mr-
Donald, on suspicion of having entered

Constantine Carometa's cigar shop and
robbing it of tobacco, cigars and cash
valued at $150. McDonald was held in
$1,000 bail for court.

TAG BRANCH OFFICE.
Up-town smokers and users of tobacco
can now take coupons of the Florodora
Tag Company to the company's branch
office at Amber and Norris streets, re-
cently opened for the convenience of
people living in the northeastern part of
the city.

LITTLE BRINDLEA BIG HIT.
The Theobald & Oppenheimer factory
put on the market a few months ago a
small cigarro which was called the Little
Bi indie. The cigarro has made a decided
hit and the factory, as a result, has about
all the orders on hand for them that it can
fill. A steady demand exists, also, for
the factory's regular brands of cigars.

IHERE'LL BE NO CHANGE.
A rumor was in circulation the past
week that the cigar factory of Vicente
Portuondo was to pass into the control of
the American Cigar Company. At the
Portuondo factory the rumor was pro-
nounced nonsense; and it was asserted
that the factory would continue as here-
tofore, under the ownership of Vicente
Portuondo.

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. y, 1(^03.

Trade in tobacco circles has been

normal the past week. Several small

lots of the 1 90 1 crop were reported sold

but the demand is not yet general. It

is but a question of time when the 1901

crop will be called into requisition, and

until that time no booms or spurts ;ire

looked for in the trade. Deliveries of

the 1902 crop continue to be made to

the warehouses daily, some firms' receipts

being exceptionally heavy.

The United C igar Manufacturers are
packing in four warehouses and turning
out abov t 250 cases per day.

There are some buyers yet in the field
after what remains unsold of the 1902
crop but the lots being so scattered it
scarcely pays to drive for it.

A number of the local packers are
not packing the fillers of the crop but
selling them in bulk to the American
Cigar Co. , which is purchasing :ill that
can be bought.

Julius Marqusee is putting up a pack-
ing of choice Wisconsin and York State.
I, H. Weaver left on Satuiday for
Dayton, ()., to inspect his p.icking of
that state's growth.

J. Edward Stake, vice-president of the
International Tobacco Co., New York,
spent several days in Lancaster and the
county buying cuttings, scraps and sift-
ings for export.

Julius Fox, for many years engaged
in the tobacco business in this city, will
in a few days remove to Philadelphia to
permanently locate. He bought out the
old established stand of Dan Leahy, 25
North Juniper street, and after remodel-
ing the store will engage in the wholesale
and retail cigar and tobacco business,
handling only high grade standard
brands.

John Eimerbrink,of the firm of Myers
& /\dams, York, Pa., spent several hours
in town visiting his son at college and
calling on old friends in the trade.

Other visitors in town calling on the
trade during the week were: Charles
Cohen, representing Newgass & Green-
hut; Leopold Cohn, representing A.Cohn
& Co; H. V. Altschul, Theo. liixby,
representing J. Cohen & Co., of New
York; Monroe J. Friedman, representing
J. Friedman & Co., and I. Latzar, of
Chicago; Max Bamberger, representing
L. Bamberger & Co., of Philadelphia,
and A. D. l^bolt, of Springfield, O.

The receipts for January, 1903, of the
Ninth Internal Revenue District were
5183,595.62 for (igars; $2,437.61 for to-
bacco and snuff.

The report shows a decrease of $5,298. -
42 on cigars as compared with January,
1902. The decrease is due to the fact
that during December 1901 a large
quantity of cigars were mad? up for ship-
ment in January 1902. and stamps not
taken out until time set for shipment.
It is to be taken into consideiation th.U
conditions had materially changed since
in November and December 1902. Ci-
gar manufacturers were so extremely
busy filling rush and immediate orders,
that they were unable to accumulate sur-
plus stocks, even though they had orders

for shipment during January 1903. On
the contrary, the stocks of a number of
large manufacturers were almost depleted
by January i, 1903, and in consequence
the cigars had to be made to fill orders
which accounts for manufacturers being
so busy dui ing January; the large quantity
of the cigars made during that time will
only be stamped in Febru.iry, when the
receipts for that month will undoubtedly
be large.

The Lancaster, Pa., Tobacco Board of
Trade held its regular monthly meeting
Febiuary 2. No impoitant business was
transacted, owing to absence of several
officers.

At the Kuieka Cigar Factory of A. D.
Killhelter, Millersville, every bench is
filled and he states that he has this year
experienced no holiday dullness. He
now also contemplates packing some
leaf tobacco. He recently m;ide a suc-
cessful trip through Delaware and Phil-
adelphia.

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET

A marked change for the better oc-
curred in the leaf tobacco market during
the past week. Transactions were lar-
ger and more numerous, giving a cheer-
ful tone to the trade genetally. Wis-
consins and Pennsylvania Broadleaf,
1 90 1, were in good demand as was also
Ohio Zimmci, 1901. Prices remained
firm.

Several good transactions are recorded
in Sumatra, the demand for that leaf
having increased. Inquiries for Havana
were fairly brisk, too, and the volume of
small sales amounted to a good-sized
aggregate.

The opinion was expressed that quite
a number of manufacturers are holding
off making purchases under the belief
that prices will decline, but in this they
will doubtless be disappointed. Good
tobacco is being taken up as soon as
offered and indications are that prices
will remain firm for some time to come.
February business this year, it is confi-
dently predicted, will exceed that of
1902.

Exports of tobacco have been light
since the first of the year. But one no-
ticeable shipment abroad was made
during the past week and that consisted
of 43 tons of tobacco sent to Antwerp.

South Carolina farmers in the Beaufort
neighborhood will grow tobacco this year
as well as cotton. Cotton yields $40 per
acre and tobacco, it is thought, will yield
from |8o to j;i:;5.

Latakia tobacco obtains its peculiar
fiavor through being sprinkled with
water and allowed to ferment after
thorough fumigation with the smoke of
resinous aromatic wood grown in Syria,
states a consular report.

York, Pa., Feb. 9, 1903
The first week in February has been a
busy one in the York leaf tobacco mar-
ket, especially in old goods. Nearly
every packer and jobber reports having
made big sales during the week. Num-
erous inquiries are being made for certain
grades and all indications point to a brisk
trade during the month. Prices remain

firm in all grades.

Trade Notes, Etc.

Reading, Feb. 6, 1903.

J. W. Crossley. formerly of this city,
has been promoted to the position of
supervisor of depots for the Florodora Tag
Company. He is now located in Phila-
delphia, but will have charge of the
opening and management of depots in
the eastern section of the United States.

S E. Applegate, representing the La
Reclama Cuban Cigar factory, New York,
was a visitor to Reading last week.

The new firm of Theodore F. Werner
& Co., of New York, who bought the ci-
gar factory of T. J. Dunn & Co. , at Hoyer-
town, have started up their factory at that
place, which had been idle for several
weeks.

John H. Riegel, cigar manufacturer, is
exceedingly busy at present. Mr. Riegel
is making large daily shipments of leaf
tobacco and also enjoys a large cigar
trade. He proposes placing several new
brands on the market in the spring.

A busy industry here is the Taylor
Bros. Tobacco Company. This company
is the leader here in plain scrap goods
and its most popular brands of butts are
Union Butts and Good Stuff, both of
which find a ready way into the market.
All of the company's goods are strictly
union made and there is a big demand
for them over all this and other states.

work, and also for bunchmakers, rollers
and strippers, but it seems that they are
unal)le to get a sufficient number. The
chief reason for this condition of affairs
is attributed to the f.ict that all factories
are busy and few cigarmakers are out of
employment.

Application will be made to Governor
Penny packer on Tuesday, Feb. 24, by
Wagner & Leidy, solicitors, for a charter
for the corpoiation to be known as Yocum
Brothers. The only change made in the
firm of this large cigar manufacturing
concern is for the transfer to a company
instead of continuing it as a private firm.
The concern will be capitalized at $300,-
000 and the incorporators are William M.
Yocum, surviving member of the original
firm; Charles Yocum and John Yocum,
sons of James W. Yocum, who died a
short time ago and who was the other
member of the oiiginal firm; Lehman L
Bright, who has long been chief book*
keeper, and George W. Wagner. The
concern is just completing a six story
annex which will enable it to increase its
output very largely. William H. Yocum
and Charles Yocum, members of the
firm, left for Havana. Cuba, this waek,
where they will spend some time buying
Havana tobacco for their trade. For
some years the firm has been buying its
Havana direct in the largest tobacco
growing districts in Cuba. They left via
the Atlantic Coast line to Miami, Fla.,
where they took a steamer for Havana.

price paid is almost uniformly 8c through,
with a few exceptions at 7 or 7>^c, al-
though an occasional crop of seedleaf is
sold at 5 and 6c. Some farmers claim
that these prices are being slightly ex-
ceeded, though buyers with whom we
have conversed deny it.

Several deliveries of the new crop have

and railroad stations, but the bulk of
purchases is not expected to rome in
until some time in March. — News.

EDGERTON, WIS.

Some riding in the country districts is
being resumed again by buyers in search
of both old and new leaf. While the vol-
ume of business is not large it is all the
time reducing the amount of unsold to-
bacco in growers' hands.

The only important sale of cased leaf
for the week is the purchase of the
Espeseth packing of choice Vernon Co.
1901 leaf, of 600CS from Fred Eckhartby
E. C. Tallard for the account of Meyer &
Mendelsohn, New York dealers.

Bad weather has broken into the vol-
ume of deliveries of new goods during
the week but the warehouses have suffi-
cient stork on hand to keep full forces at
work at the packing points, where assort-
ing is being crowded along as rapidly as
possible.

Shipments, 838 cases. — Reporter.

Warehouses have now accumulated a
fair stock of the new crop and are now
ready to open the market for same. The
stocks of old tobacco are now reduced to
about 20 hhds. of old leaf.

The loose tobacco market continues

firm at full prices, with perhaps less thaa

one-fourth of the crop yet to be sold.

ID

HOPKINSVILLE, KY.
M. D. Boales.
Continued activity prevails at advanc-
ing prices for loose tobaccos, especially
on Lugs and Common Leaf; in fact, there
are new prizing houses opening to put up
on order, showing extra demand, but on
a private system several dealers have sold
as a whole their entire output, and others
all their Lugs and Common Leaf, all of
which will go out direct from factories.
The bulk of the crop has been sold, and
60 to 70 per cent, delivered. The breaks
are small; in fact, only trial lots to feel
market. In the absence of orders, no
values yet made. Looks as if it was a
good time to buy hogshead tobacco. The
old is gradually slipping out at 7 to g^c
for the long old Leaf of Medium and
(>ood quality. 1 quote:

WHY I AM A COLLECTOR OF TOBACCO CURIOS.

By Benno NeuheR(;er, of E. KosenwaUl c\: Bro.

TRUE TOBACCO ROMANCES.

1 have been a collector of curios of one
kind or another ever since I < an remem-
ber. When I was a boy in Bremen my
fancy was all for birds' eggs, and the
specimens I gathered then are still pre-
served there. But the (MSt collection I
ever made in the tobacco line was about
twenty years ago when 1 got together
samples of all the seed leaf tobaccos
grown in the United States. This col-
lection was exhibited at a great exposition

to landscape artists. More than one
hundred years ago. in the days before
'76, when Pearl street was (^ueen street
and Maiden Lane a fashionable prome-
nade,Water street was already dotted with
retail cigar stores. Throughout the en-
tire history of the city Water street is the
one thoroughfate which has been longest
associated with tobacco. Water street
gave to New York the only Mayor who

VIIL— A FjjLinous Visit

Tradition, which has been proved to
be a liar in many other famous cases, also
owes an apology for her unvcracity to
the late Henry Clay and the late Julian
Alvarez. According to tradition Mr.
Alvarez named his famous cigar, still the
most famous in all the world, in Mr.
Clay's honor upon the occasion of a visit
made by Mr. Clay sometime in the'40's
to the factory of Mr. Alvarez in Havana.

Havana at any time in his life, any more
than Henry the Fourth wasever in Tampa,
yet each of them got a very famous
obsequio, the one from Mr. Alvarez the
other from Mr. Joe Diaz.

Julian Alvarez paid Mr. Clay two very
great compliments: first, he named a
very fine cigar in Mr. Clay's honor, and
secondly, he took pains to keep that cigar
up to its original standard. He named
the cigar after Mr. Clay, not because Mr.
Clay visited his factory, for that is not so.

sales in the United States in the '50' s and
the spread of its fame throughout the rest
of the world from that day down to this,
have nothing to do with Mr. Clay. They
are to be attributed most largely, if not
entirely, to the undeviating excellence of
the cigar and are a standing proof that
those people are wrong who allege that it
is impossible to make a cigar of uniform
quality. Difficult it is, but not impossible,
and if the history of the Henry Clay
brand is not itself a romance, even the
most prosaic mind will admit that many
a man has indulged his romantic dreams
while smoking a Henry Clay.

But is there any greater romance in
the history of cigars than this very story
I of the Henry Clay ? One associates with
i the hero of every romance the determina-
tion and ability to overcome any and every
enemy. The hero meets and overcomes
1 his open and his insidious foes. The
\ open enemies of Julian Alvarez were the
I rival manufacturers of his day. He over-
' came them in the battle for business be-
I cause he was one of the best business
I men of his time; the insidious foes he
I conquered were the same temptations
! which assail every other successful cigar
I manufacturer, those, namely, which whis-
I pered to him to employ cheaper tobaccos
I in the manufacture of his brand in order
I to increase his profit. He turned a deaf
! ear to these whisperings of the tempter
and his sole concern throughout his entire
career was not how cheaply he could
manufacture, but how well.

In the lapse of years other manufac-
turers came to the front in Havana who
were just as upright and just as successful
as Mr. Alvarez, vet it is not invidious to
say that of all the scores of thousands of
brands of cigars manufactured in the woi Id,
the Henry Clay is today, as it has been for
over fifty years, the best known of all.

principle that moisture falls because it i
heavier than air; that consequently a
moistener sliding underneath cigars is
ridiculous. The Rice Moisteners are.
therefore, constructed to be placed over
cigar:, and tobaccos, perforated side down,
to allow the moisture to fall and distribute
evenly. These moisteners contain a
mineral absorbent which retains the water
in a pure state, in fact clears and filters
the same, so that the cigar smoker is in
no danger of inhaUng poisonous germs,
and the cigars are in fact restored to their
natural state as when leaving the cigar-
maker's hands. Every smoker should
prevail on his purveyor to install the Rice
Moisteners in his cases, as no modern
tobacconist can do without them.

— Citizens of Piqua, Ohio, are raising
$4. 000 to purchase a free site for a branch
factory of the United States Cigar Com-
pany, which promises to start a cigar
factory there.

A bill has been introduced in the

New York Legislature providing for the
affixing of a tag bearing the words "ten-
ement made' on all cigars and cigarettes
made in tenement houses.

WHAT $1.00 WILL DO,

The subscription price to The Tobacco World
has been reduced, and is now only $1.00 per year.
It is the first and only tobacco paper In the
world, published weekly at One Dollar the year.

Subscriptions are payable invariably in ad-
vance, and remittances may be made by bank
tlieck, post office money order, or in postage
stamps lM)reign rates are |2.<X) per annum.

The Tobacco World is the best of all Tobacco
Papers Wcause:

1 . It is conducted by men whose technical knowl
edge of every branch of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, and whose
personal arqiiaintanoc in the trade is most extensive.

2 The Tobacco World treats all questions and all
individuals and corporations with absolute fairness.

3. The Tobacco World voices the sentiments of
the trade and all its branches on all public questions.

4. The Tobacco World is always the first to
give the news.

5. The circulation of The Tobacco World is so
large that its advertising patrons may confidently
count upon returns.

6. The Tobacco World's advertising rates are
always reasonable, and correspondence on this
subject is solicited from the trade.

7. The Tobacco World numbers among its
volunteer contributors the best informed and nust
widely known and influential members of the trade
in the United States, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the
I'hilippines, in Mexico and Central America, in
South America, in Europe, in India and in Australia.
A single contribution from any of these persons is
worth many times the cost of a year's su»)Scription.

8 During UM)U the most striking novelty in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whirh
began on January 1, with a chapter entitled "The
Truth Aljoutthe Discovery of Tobacco, "contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Roseuwald &
Bro , of New York, and now the president <f the
National Cigar Leaf Association, ended on December
24 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester,
N. H. Each of the other fifty chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the "Comic
History of Tobacco by Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To
bicco" will be published in book form. handson:elv
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and will
l)c sent to any addrc-s in the Unite«l States, Porto
Rico or the Philippines on receipt of |I.0(), postage
prepaid. Two dollars will pa v for an annual sub
scri ption to The Tobacco World and for the ' 'Comic
History of Tobacco."

9. The Medicine Man, trusted and beloved bv all
readers of The Tobacco World, will continue
throughout HKJ3 to pour out the treasures of his
learning and the geniality of his unfailing good
humor for the benefit of his friends among the pale-
faces. A year under the instruction of the Medicine
Man is a li »eral education.

10. If you want a tenth rea.son for enrolling yonr
name on The Tobacco \yorld'8 nubscription list
look into your own heart and ask yourself this
question : '* Why should not I read what all n«y
brothers in the trade are rea<ling each week with
delight and profit, in order that I may \>c as well
posted as thev ? "

TOBACCO EXTRACT SHEEP DIP.

Reading, Pa., Feb. 6, 1903.

Dear Medicine Man :

Kindly let us know what is meant by
tobacco extract sheep dip, and how made.

A. Thalheimer «& Son.

ANSWER.

Sheep dip, made of tobacco steeped in
water, is a common insecticide in use by
sheep growers in Texas, Australia. South
Africa and other parts of the world.
That grade of tobacco known in the
trade as Kentucky lugs is usually em-
ployed by those who manufacture this
decoction for the farmers. About twenty
pounds of tobacco are steeped or boiled

guessed 547,926,732 and won 1 1,000.
Mr. Pfeiffer writes me, under date of
Feb. 7: "I received yours of Jan. 24 but
did not want to make any reply until I
was certain of the money. Last night I
received my check and 1 can now state
how I came to make the winning guess.
Being in a retail store, I was in contact
with many tobacco men and having a
large number of estimates to make I
thought it worth while to exercise some
care with them. Upon inquiry I found

that most of the cigar manufacturers were
greatly oversold and from this basis I
judged the output of December, 1902,
would be more than the output of that
month in former years. For that reason
I made my estimate high. That 1 came
so close to the exact number was, of

vance. ' '

F. H. Nichols, cashier of the Rock-
ville National Bank, of Rockville, Ind ,
guessed 547.926,702, and won $1,000.
He writes me, under date of Feb. 9, as
follows: "Your kind favor of the 25th of
January was duly received. I wish to
thank you very much for notifying me of
my good luck. You ask for a written
account of how I came to make the win-
ning guess. It was as follows: I called
at Ott & West's drug store to get some of
the Florodora Tag Co. 's blank forms, and
the clerk. Mr. Ed. Alexander, suggested
that when I made out my guesses I make
one for 547,926,702. He and I both
made a note of it, and several days after
that, when I was making my guesses, I
looked up the number he had suggested
and put it down. That's the way it hap-
pened. I received the |i ,000 check this

HOW THEY CAME TO WIN.

I was present, through the courtesy of
the Florodora Tag Company, at the
count in Jersey City on Jan. 24, of the
estimates of the output of #3 tax paid
cigars of December, 1902, in response to
its offer of cash prizes for those who
could come nearest the figures. That
night, before going to bed, I wrote to
every one of the winners of the eighteen
chief prizes giving him advance informa-
tion as to the result At the same time I
invited each of them to give me a brief
account of how he came to make his suc-
cessful guess. Following are some of the
answers I have received :

Alfred Meisel, retail butcher at 356
Ninth avenue. New York, guessed 547.-
926.784 and won $2, 500. He says it was
purely a case of good luck.

Peter F. Murphy, president of the
Penn Tobacco Co., of Philadelphia,
guessed 547,927,025 and won 1 1,000.
Mr. Murphy also won one of the $250
prizes. Mr. Murphy is a large jobber in
cigars and tobacco, and tells me he
thought the production of cigars in De-
cember, 1902, would be very large because
of the large amount of advertising done,
yei he is modest enough to say that he
considers his winning a matter more of
good luck than good management

Frank D. Pfeiffer, of Kenton, O.,

bacco World. Mr. Alexander and I have
divided the money equally."

D. Lehman, of Bridal \'eil, Oregon,
guessed 547, 926, 445 and won I500. He
writes me under date of Feb. 4: "Yours
of Jan. 25, just received and in leply
would say that I am much pleased with
the news tW&t I have won a prize. As to
how I came to make that estimate I can
hardly tell. I started with the number of
cigars made in May, 1902, and put in
one or two and sometimes three guesses
in each million where I thought I would
be within striking distance of the right
number. "

Grace A. Treat, of Horseheads. N. Y. ,
guessed 547.926,324 and won $500. She
wrote me under date of Jan. 27. as follows :

"Your letter came to hand yesterday
which, I may add, was a very agreeable
surprise to me, as the guessing contest of
the Florodora Tag Co. had passed en-
tirely from my mind.

"The way I came to make any esti-
mates at all was a recent purchase of five
hundred Cubanola cigars which entitled
me to twenty guesses and by cigar and
tobacco tags eight more making twenty-
eight trials in all.

• I looked over the statistics the Co.
sent of the two foregoing Decembers and
of the previous months of the year, and
with paper and pencil figured about what
I thought the increase would be, guessing
more or less, and I might add quite a few
were made at random.

••I was quite sure there would bean
increased output of cigars as I noted all

the cigarmakers that I knew of were at
work.

"The guessing was strictly my own
calculations. No information whatever
was received on the subject

^ "I sent in the chances merely for sport
thinking that would be the last of it,
never once dreaming that it would be the
good luck of our Horsey town to receive
one of the prizes."

T. C, Sublett, of Richmond, Va.,
guessed 547,926,302 and won $500. He
writes me also under date of Jan. 27, as
follows: "1 appreciate very much the ad-
vance information, so kindly sent me.
Do I understand that my guess of 547,-
926, 302 entitles me to $500 ? It must be
$5. I don't think I can be so lucky as to
get I500 out of it You ask for a little
account of how 1 came to make a winning
guess. Well, it is this: 1 had some
Cubanola bands, counted them out, and
sent them in with 58 guesses, all of them
were in the 527 millions except about
four or five which were scattered above
these numbers, and one of these scattered
ones was 547,926.302. This is really all
that there is to it"

Dean T. Bush, Ironton, O. , guessed
547,926, 543 and won I500. Mr. Bush
writes me as follows: "I owe you an
apology. When I received your letter
some time ago. I was not acquainted with
The Medicine Man, nor who he was. I
supposed then that probably it was some
friend playing a little joke, knowing that
I was one of the many contestants. Since
then I have learned that The Medicine
Man is a man of his word, and one
whose veracity cannot be questioned.
Accordingly, I ask your pardon for not
being more prompt in replying, and I
thank you forgiving me the good news
in advance. I assure you that if ever in
the future I receive a letter from The
Medicine Man he will not have to wait
long for an answer. As to how I made
my lucky estimate, I will say that it was
guess-work, pure and simple. True. I
was guided to some extent by the statis-
tics on the blank on which we sent in
our guesses; otherwise it was nothing
more than guess-work on my part I
received a check for $500 from the Floro-
dora Tag Co. on Feb. 7. This is the
first prize I ever drew."

It is a noticeable fact that most of the
winners of the larger prizes are people
who deal in cigars and tobacco, and I
may add that most of them are Tobacco
World subscribers.

THE STORY OF "LA CIVETTE."

The death, some years ago. of the
Duchesse de Sesto. a noble dame of
Spain, was of moie interest to Paris to-
bacconists than the bare announcement
of her decease would lead one to suppose.
Her first husband was the Due de Morny,
President of the Corps Legislatif under
Napoleon III. When the Duke died the
Emperor bestowed upon his widow the
tobacco shop known as the "Civette,"
which was then by far the most import-
ant tobacco shop in Paris. This meant
an income for her of ^1,600 sterling per
annum. Some years later the Duchesse W
de Morny married the Duke de Sesto,
a grandee of Spain, and thus acquired
Spanish nationality. She nevertheless
continued to derive her income of 40,000
francs from "La Civette."

After a time this state of things was
looked upon in the Chamber of Deputies
as a great abuse and several questions
in Parliament were announced. An
inquiry was made, with the result that
the privilege of the Duchesse de Sesto
was withdrawn. The decision was come
to while Marshal MacMahon was Presi-
dent of the P rench Republic. After this
"La Civette" was divided into shares
and the profits of the business go in pro-
portionate sums to the holders of the
shares, these being supposed to be peo-
ple who have deserved well of the state
and who are in a state of poverty. Such
is in brief the history of the ancient and
well-known tobacco shop on the Place du
Theatre- Francais, much frequented by
English visitors to Paris, for it is there
that can be obtained all the varieties of
foreign tobacco which the regie allows
to penetrate into France.

INTERSTATE AND ROBINSON CR.USOE
CIGARS.

In response to a correspondent in Buf-
falo, I publish this: The following con
versation is said to have occurred on the
floor of the House of Representatives in
the fifty-first Congress and is given on
the responsibility of Isaac R. Hill, The
talk took place between Major McKinley
and Major Martin, of Texas, both being
inveterate smokers.

Major Martin — Major McKinley, you
ought not to smoke those interstate cigars.

Major McKinley -What do you mean
by interstate cigars.'

Major Martin— Why, I mean cigars
that, when smoked in one state, can be
smelled in all the other states.

Major McKinley— And you. Major
Martin, should not smoke those Robin-
son Crusoe cigars of yours.

Major Martin — What do you mean by
Robinson Crusoe cigars.'

Major McKinley -Why, castaways, of
course.

THE DUKE OF SUSSEX'S STOLEN
SNUFF BOX.

At a recent auction sale in London, a
valuable snuflTbox was mysteriously lost
A correspondent is reminded by the oc-
currence of a story that was current two
generations ago, the Duke of Sussex [
being the hero. He had presided one
evening over a dinner of virtuosi, and a
distinguished diplomatist among the
company produced a snuff box set in
precious stones, the gift of a crowned
head to one of his ancestors.

The precious souvenir was handed
rourd for everyone to examine, whilst
the conversation went merrily on. Pres-
ently the owner said to his next neigh-
bor. "Kindly pass me my snuff box."
The inquiry went round the table, but
nobody knew what had become of the
article. A thorough search of the room
and of the servants failed to reveal any
trace of it and the party broke up in
general gloom.

Some months after the Duke had oc-
casion to don once more the particular
uniform worn on this occasion, and put-
ting his hand into one of the pockets,
felt a bulky substance, and drew out
the missing box. -You rascal." he said
to his body-servant, "you must have
noticed it when you put away the coat"
"Yes. your Royal Highness, ' was the
reply; "I noticed it. and, indeed, 1 saw
your Royal Highness put the box in your
pocket" -And you never mentioned
It!" "Certainly not I hope I know
my duty to your Royal Highness better
than that." Thk M«dicinb Man

Advertising Suggestions.

ISPLAY window advertising by the
retailer should be followed up by
other forms of publicity. It is generally
conceded that the public is more quickly
reached via "printers' ink" than in any
other way. A small advertisement, ef-
fectively displayed in a good medium, i^
pretty sure to make "millions think. "
Retailers may derive some benefit from
reading the following advertising sugges-
tions:

A retail tobacconist cannot be too care-
ful in the selection of his advertising me-
diums. Many a dealer has been led to
the conclusion that advertising does not
pay, simply because his particular method
was bringing him no visible results. In
nine cases out of ten it will be found that
he has been advertising in such a way
that no results could possibly be expected.

Advertising is of no use whatever un-
less it is done regularly, and the mer-
chant who places his advertising at ran-
dom is practically throwing away his
money.

There are very few lines of business in
which good advertising cannot be used
to advantage, and the cigar business cer-
tainlyis not oneofthem. But it must be
good advertising, and it must be care-
fully and judiciously placed, or it is ab-
solutely worthless.

Every advertising scheme that is pre-
sented should be thoroughly investigated,
and no contract should be signed until
you know just who is behind the venture
and are satisfied that your ad will re^ch
a goodly number of the class of people
who are most likely to patronize your
business. In a town where there are
several newspapers your own judgment
will have to come into play in selecting
the right one. By no means overlook
your trade journal.

Do not let your advertising fluctuate
from one medium to another. Keep
pounding away regularly and inces-
santly, and do not become discouraged if
you do not see the results of your efforts
immediately. It is seldom that a cus-
tomer is gained by one advertisement.
But the average man, who sees your ad-
vertisement day after day, provided it is
a good one and frequently changed, will
not be able to resist its persuasion.

If unable to write or design an effec-
tive advertisement, employ someone who
can. It will be money well expended.

"Observer's" Display Window Criticisms

I have been noticing some of the
Philadelphia retail cigar dealers' display
windows in my rambles about the Quaker
City. Some of the displays are good ;
some better; some worse, and some
scarcely worth mentioning at all.

John Middleton, at 210 Walnut street,
makes a display of pipes of his own
make, cigars, manufactured goods and
fancy articles that is worthy of commenda-
tion. The pipes are attractively arranged
about a neat gilt show card and below

them and in other parts of the window
are cigars, tobaccos and smokers' mate
rials. The Indian, skull and devils'
heads look quite ghastly — in the show
window— but would look all right and be
in proper style decorating a smoking
room. Mr. Middleton's tersely worded
show card, "Rummage at Rubbish
Pi ires, " is quite to the point.

The Ori^inail CKsin of Stores

The chain of stores idea as exemplified
in the retail cigar business originated in
Berlin, Germ:»ny, about twenty years ago
and Loeser & Wolf, the firm which began
this unique method of doing business,
has not only prospered but its example
has been followed in Ciermany, Great
Biitain and now in the United States.

The large show window of the United Unlike its British and American imitators.
Cigar Stores Company at 820 Chestnut the firm of Loeser & Wolf does not cut

street has been attiacting its share of at-

prices. It operates in the city of Berlin

tention. From my viewpoint, however, ! something like 200 retail stores; the

the window is overdressed: that is, there
is on display nearly everything the store
has for sale with the result that no partic-
ular class or grade of goods impresses it-
self with a selling effect upon one's mind.
1 note, also, that almost every price tag
has on it the words' cut to." The Hoff-
man House cigars, one pi ice tag informed
me, were "cut to 4 for 25 cents." An-
other tag informed me that the Captain
Mat ryat has been "cut to 3 for 25 cents."
All of which led me to wonder if the ex-
pected "cut price war"' has been opened.

On their Market street side Gimbel
Bros, have on display a neat show case
of cigars and among the brands exhibited
I note the Hoffman House Bouquet which
they offer at I3 per box of 50. Gimbel
Bros., if I mistake not, is the only laige
depaitmentstore in Philadelphiahandling
cigars and as a matter of fact many re-
tulers and manufacturers have been
watching the firm's action in this respect
pretty closely. It is safe to say however,
that the firm is handling the goods for a
legitimate profit ; no pi ice cutting is being
done and the cigars are handled more to
accommodate patrons than for any other
reason.

The genial dealer near the public
square and Walnut street, it seems to me,
is missing a good thing when he allows
his large west show window to be hidden
from view by a street candy and banana
stand. Who knows, though ? Perhaps
the income from rent amounts to more
than the value of the display window as
an advertising medium to exploit the
value and quality of the dealer's cigars.

Gustav Hoch & Sons have a window
on North Ninth street which attracts by
reason of its array of cigars and tobaccos
as well as the cut prices at which they
are offered. Cannon cigarettes, made by
the American Tobacco Co. ,aie offered at
3 cents the package of ten ; three packages
for 5 cents. First Cabin cut plug is also
offered for 3 cents the package. First
Cabin is made by the Harry Wei-singer
Tobacco Co., of Louisville, Ky. , recently
bought out by the American Tobacco Co.

In addition to a neat display of cigars,
C. L. Parke has a sign in his Arch street
cigar store which has probably warmed
the hearts of many smokers and incident-
ally brought Mr. Parke a good many
customers. • 'You are welcome to a light"
says the sign -and you are as you will
readily find out upon entering the store.
The sign has a hearty ring about it
I which pleases smokers. ObserviCR.

only cigars sold in those establishments
which are not made by the manufacturing
end of the concern are the imported ones.

Germany is the home of the good
cheap cigar. The German manufacturer
does not groan under a heavy tariff on
imported tobacco and he utilizes in his
product not only the seed leaf of the
United States, the Havana of Cuba and
the Sumatra of the East Indies, but also
the tobaccos of Mexico, Brazil, Borneo,
Java and many other places, some of
which are altogether unknown to the
manufacturers of the United States. It
is proudly said by the Germans and ad-
mitted by others who are in the habit of
visiting Germany, that the domestic
German cigar which letails at two cents
is abetter article of merchandise than the
best five cent cigar America can produce.
Every retail cigar salesman who has at
heart a reduction in the present tariff on
imported tobaccos can assist the cause by
dinning this little argument into the ears
of his customers.

"Did You See Essie?"

This is the latest slang in New York.
It originated on a recent windy day with
a gang of men who were huddled together
in one of the doorways of the United
Cigar Stores Company' s place of business
in the Flatiron building. One of the
men simply made the question out of the
initials of the company; Did U. C. S. C. ?

Naike Haste Sensibly
Editor The Tobacco World:

Here is something I offer for the
retailers' department with my opinion
thereon.

For one I am weary of reading such
so-called advice as the following, which
I clip from a trade paper:

Get up "steam" in your business; keep
it going; keep it moving; be alive; be
awake; keep abreast of the times; have
the latest; show it; talk it; sell it; be in
the front of the procession, and not at
the rear. Eternal hustle is the price of
success.

Physicians understand what literally
following such advice leads to. And
superintendents of insane asylums, rest
cures and sanitariums know that such
advice, duly followed, provides them
with a large number of their patients and,
incidentally, bread and butter.

P'or one I enter a protest against this
modern tendency of going commercially
mad. It is too much of a grave-filling

race and productive of more harm than
good.

It seems to me that such advice as the
foregoing should be tempeied with
common sense. To my niind good health
is far better than riches. Have "push"
and "get up" — but take proper exercise
and proper time to eat meals; "keep
moving" — but remember that the wife
and children at home can be happy with
many other things besides dollars;, "be
in the front '- but drop back when tired
nature protests and \ou'll have your
health, even if some other human mimic
of a steam engine gets ahead of you a few
pennies— and heart disease ; "Eternal
hustle" may be "the price of success' —
but don't let the marble-cutter c hisel your
success on a headstone before you have
reached a sensible old age.

Lizy men, of course, will not read this:
They should read the "get up steam"
clipping only. Co.\servati\ E Retailer

A NsLrths Washington Snuff
Box Brings $40

An interesting relic was sold at the
auction of the David C. Lyall collection
in New York on Feb. 1 1. It brought a
price which seemed to indicate that those
who covet Americana did not come out
on a rainy day. It was a snuff box inlaid
in many woods and containing a lock of
Martha Washington's hair. It sold for
$40. Its history, as related by the com-
pilers of the Lyall catalogue, says that it
was presented by Martha Washington to
Mrs. James Marshall, by her to Mrs,
Susan Ambler, from whom it was obtained
by E. Kretzmar of Philadelphia, who gave
it to Mr. F"ales, from whose collection Mr.
Lyall bought it.

Lincoln, St. Valentine and G. W.

Three holidays in the shortest month
of the year should have meant a little
extra business for the retailers. St. Val-
entine's day is. of course, not a legal
holiday as are Lincoln's birthday and
Washington's birthday, yet if all the boys
have been as successful this year in turn-
ing St. Valentine's day to advantage as
were a certain one of their brothers in
Brooklyn, they may well regard Feb-
ruary 14 as of equal importance with
February 12 and February 22. This re-
tailer decorated his show windows and
the interior of his store with hearts of
paper each pierced with a cigar. He said
last Sunday that his total sales to ladies
who bought boxes of cigars to send to
their true valentines tolled up just #363.

won the first prize in the Floradora Tag j est U aling. "

Co' s. contest, I take pleasure in giving 1 About three years ago, father associated

you same as follows : 1 w.is born in Wash

ington, D. C, February 4, 1881, and

have lived here continuously. I was

educated in the public schools of the

%vilh himself his three sons, R. Milton,
Charles K . and m>self, and his son-in-
liw. Fiai CIS E. Sibley. My active con-
nection with the store began in 1896, as
city. It may be truly said that I was | clerk. Sol have lived in a tobacco at-

born in the tobacco business, and to
write a sketch of my life one would only
need to write a sketch of my father s
business.

Inasmuch as all stories must have a
beginning, 1 will make the beginning of
the business the real starting point of
this sketch. In 1861. just afier the out-
break of the great rebellion, my father
started a little store on Fifteenth street,
Northwest, near what is now the Cor-
coran Building. The total floor space
was ten feet by fifteen feet, and the sto' k
that cost about Jt4o taxed its rapacitv.
when the stove and counter were taken
into consideration. The street being
graded left the little stoie high and dry
away up above the line of travel, and it
became necessary to make a change.
The store of Samuel Day being for sale,
it was promptly purchased, and the busi
ness found itself at 1 107 F street, N. W.
This soon became too small, and it was
found that it would be expedient to make
another change, which was done, and
the corner of Twelfth and F streets be-
came the new home. Here, in more
comfortable quarters, the business flour-
ished to such an extent that it soon over-
flowed, and again the location was
changed, this time to 705 Fifteenth street,
the home of the store for seventeen
years. Forging ahead with such rapid
strides the business had taken rank with
the foremost. But even this store was
outgrown and still another, and the last
change was made to 1432 New York
avenue. This was the best move of all,
for, in a single year, the business in-

mosphere all my life and know pretty
well tr.ide conditions.

I began saving bands issued by the
Florodor.i Tag Co. from the beginning
and have secured many valuable prem-
iums. At the time of the contest 1 had
on hand 16.400 bands or 656 guesses.
Knowing, as I said before, trade condi-
tions 1 selec ted the number 464,609,703
as my lowest guess and took as a medium
for increase every other 100,000. This
brought my highest guess to 610, $86,658.
The number 547.926,864, or 26 cigars
from the actual number, happened to be
one of these and so the winning number
and the 1(5,000.

This I believe brings me to a point
where 1 can say that I have fulfilled my
promise.

You will find inclosed under separate
cover my photograph as per request
My intimate friends say it is a good
likenes->. Yours sincerely,

Hknrv I. Hkndrkson.

The Medicine Man congratulates Mr.
Henderson upon his good fortune, and
directs the attention of the readers of the
Tobacco World to a fact which Mr.
Henderson's letter makes most clear,
namely that this young prize winner's
head is remirkably sound and clear.
After reading his letter no one will
wonder how he came to win.

Union of Brooklyn, urging the members
of the Association to handle union-made
cigars exclusively.

Mr. Lane read and explained the char-
ter of incorporation of the Retail Cigar
Dealers' Association of New York, re-
cently secured at Albany. Under its
charter the Association is empowered to
do any business save that of banking,
and he raised a laugh by saying that the
powers conferred upon the Association
by its charter are so broad that it might
even acquire and conduct the business
of the American Tobacco Company.

Mr. Lane said that there is a prospect
that two depots for the distribution of the
tobacco products of independent manu-
facturers will soon be established in
New York and one in Brooklyn, which
would sell independent goods five per
cent cheaper than trust goods. This
statement concluded Mr. Lane's address,
which was loudly applauded.

Six years ago B. Lipschutz, the well-
known cigar manufacturer, was at work
at the bench and the above half-tone
gives a faithful idea of just how he looked
in the good old days. Mr. Lipschutz' s
rise from employe to employer has been
rapid. He employs at his "44" cigar j
factory on Filbert street one hundred j
; hands and is himself an active worker ;
among them for he carefully inspects all
the stock used as well as the fmished
cigars and thus knows the excellence of

the work. This has had much to do
with Mr. Lipschutz' s success; he knows
that his cigars are well made; knows that
their quality is exactly as guaranteed and
the consumer, therefore, places implicit
faith in his guaran ee and in his cigars.
The increasing sales of the 44 cigar is
proof positive that it has merit and that it
is here to stay. At his North Twelfth
street store, 44 is called for by nine out
of every ten customers and its sale gener-
ally is on the increase.

Election of Association
Officers.

[Special to the Tobacco World].

Lancaster, Feb. 17, 1903.

The annual election of officers of the
Lancaster Tobacco Groweis" Association
was held today and resulted as follows :
President. B. Ezra Herr; vice-president,
M. L Greider; secretary and treasurer,
J. Aldus Herr.

Captain J. R. Brisker, of Litiiz, stated
that some time ago he had shown an
agent of the government agricultural
department through various townships
where it was proposed to experiment
next season with shade grown tobacco,
and later had been informed that because
ofacutin the appropriation these ex-
periments would be abandoned this year.
Congressman Cassel was appealed to at
Washington and presented a bill in the
luse for an increased appropriation of

>o,ooo. If passed the government ex-
periments will be continued.

Piof. Wm. Frcar, of the State College,
who superintended the State experimental
station at Donegal Springs last year,
stated that the shade grown tobacco
rivaled that of Connecticut. Sentiment
favored the abandonment of the station
at Donegal and the establishment of
another in the northern part of the
county, in sandy instead of loamy soil.

THE KELLER. CIGAIL FACTOHY.

£. M. Keller, cigar manufacturer at
Fourth and Franklin streets, Reading, has
been energetically pushing the sales of
several of his brands of cigars during the
past year and states that he has met with
a good share of success. He manufac-
tures domestic and Havana cigars and
among the brands which have obtained
their share of recognition are : Eye Opener,
Exalted, Barrels of Smoke, Comfort,
Labor King, and K. B. Mr. Keller
states that he has tried for years to provide
Reading smokers with satisfying cigars;
that he employs skilled workmen and is
careful concerning the cleanliness of the
factory as well as other details of the
business. The Keller cigars have been
favorably received by smokers in other
states than Pennsylvania and Mr. Keller
says it is his intention to push their sale
in every legitimate way. Respected in
the business circles of Reading and pop-
ular in social circles, there are many
reasons to believe that he will succeed.
Wholesale cigar dealers and jobbers
might secure his prices with profit

DEATH or FRANK DANNEILHAUEH.

Frank Dannerhauer, a cigar salesman
with Shively, Miller & Co., of Pottstown,
Pa., died at his home at Sumneytown,
Pa., on Friday last, and was buried on
the following Monday. He had been in
apparently good health up to within a
few days of his death.

THEY LIKE ARCH STREET.
The M. J. Dalton Compiny will open
a new cigar store in the building now be-
ing erected at Thirteenth and Arch streets,
about the middle of March. This news
tends to prove the fact that Arch street is
fast becoming a favorite thoroughfare with
cigar dealers for during the past few
years quite a nuiriber of new cigar and
tobacco stores have been opened and all
are doing a satisfactory business. The
Dalton Company's stand in the Hotel
Dunlap at Atlantic City will be re-opened
soon— in plenty of time for the season of
1903. ^

;r. & L. FACTORY BUSY.
At the large Roig & Langsdorf cigar
factory there has been little let-up in the
output of the firm's regular brands of
cigars and orders ahead will be sure to
keep all hands busy indefinitely. Isadore
Langsdorf is at Havana securing choice
tobacco for the house and may not be
home for a week or two.

OPPOSED TO PARK LIQUOR SALES.

The following notice sent out by officers
of the German-American Alliance of
Pennsylvania is self-explanatory:

In order to correct misstatements which
have appeared at different times in some
of the newspapers and which lead the
public to believe that the German-Amer-
ican Alliance of Pennsylvania is or has
been connected with the so-called • 'Yates "
bill, we beg to state that our organization
hai had nothing whatever to do with this
bill, but is utterly opposed to selling in-
toxicating drinks in Fairmount Park or
on Sundays in Philadelphia or elsewhere.
The opposition to the so-called "Berkel-
bach" bill has been tr>ing to connect
these two bills, and it seems but just that
this statement should be made to the
public.

A WELL-KEPT CIGAR STORE.
George T. O' Keefe. since his occupany
of 14 South Fourth street with an up-to-
date line of cigars and tobact os. h is been
having his share of prosperity. It is
reasonable to say that the bright lights of
his store, its neatness and handsome dis-
play windows have had much to do with
attracting attention and trade. Mr. O'-
Keefe, the World reporter learns, has a
nice run of custom from occupants of the
Bourse Building and is satisfying their
cigar wants in every way.

DEATH OF MRS. IDLER.
The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Idler
took place February 10, from the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. R. T. Gum-
pert, wife of the North Seventh street
cigar manufacturer. Deceased had been
an invalid for several years and was 75
years of age at the time of her death.

DUNN FACTORIES HUSY. |

The reorganized T. J. Dunn & Co.
cigarcompany is pushing vigorously ahead

with the work of m mufacturing the Pete
Dailev, Dimoro and other established
brands of fine cigars, Theodore Werner
is president of the new company and
Benjamin F. Corell secretary and treas-
urer. Mr. Corell will take charge of the
manufacturing part of the business and as
there are factories in New York, Phila-
delphia, Chester. Lebanon and Boyers-
town, the prospect is that he will be a
very busy man. Mr. Werner will give
attention to the sales department and left
this week for a trip through the West
where he will energetically introduce the
Dunn factory goods in new territory and
supply dealers in the old.

SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Jacob l^bc. with Benjamin Labe &
Sons, covered Cincinnati. Cleveland.
Detroit and other Western points for his
house last week and sent in a goodly lot
of orders for leaf tobacco. Mr. Labe's
success as an energetic salesman is a
good thing generally for the trade and
encourages other men on the road to "do
likewise."

THE MEMBERSHIP IS GROWING.

Officers of the Retail Cigar and To-
bacco Dealers' Association state that the
work of securing new members is being
steadily prosecuted and that results are
satisfactory. Members are also being
secured in Camden and in the near
future it is hkely a public mass meeting
of the retailers of that city will be held.

A MESSAGE FROM CUPID.
An unknown joker, who may have
'iiad it in" for a certain Philadelphia ci-
gar company whose name shall be un-
mentionable but which will be referred to
as Blank, relieved his feelings Valentine's
Day by sending the aforesaid company a
hideous comic valentine. It was ad-
dressed. "The Blank Cabbage Manufac-
turing Company" and the envelope con-
tained a huge cabbage leaf on which was
pinned a note reading: "Material from
which the celebrated Onionolas are
made." The firm accepted the joke in
good part and has framed the valentine,
cabbage-leaf and all. In time they'll
find out the sender and then something
will drop.

AN INQUISITIVE SALESMAN.

A salesman for a North Third street
leaf house wants to know if an undertaker
should look grave when smoking; or if, a
lawyer's smoke should be brief; or if
firemen should ask for "fire" when smok-
ing; or if musicians should snvoke bands.
Perhaps the puzzled salesman's search
for information will suggest a number of
like inquiries from other inquisitive
people.

WILL CARRY "LADY NICOTINE."
The steamer Massachusetts, to, 800
tons burthen, buih at the Camden ship-
yards for the International Mercantile
Marine Company, of Baltimore, reached
that port February 10th and prepared to
take on her cargo. When loaded the
Massachusetts will go to London, and on
her maiden voyage will carry loo tons of
tobacco among other good things.

BEWARE THE ENEMY.

A leading Philadelphia cigar and to-
bacco dealer recently expressed himself
as follows concerning boys and the white-
shrouded lung-desloycrs which do so
much to injure them:

"Even I can understand the aversion
that the average man feels toward the
boy who smokes cigarettes.' ' said the to-
bacconist. "I mean in the matter of em-
ploy.ng such a boy, even though his
duties may merely consist of running
errands. The first question a man asks
of a boy who has applied for a job is
'Do you smoke cigarettes'? Sometimes
the boy is truthful and says 'yes,' and
then it's all up with his chances. Other
boys, with more experience, say 'no,'
and only smoke outside the office. Even
then their period of service is unusually
short, for it isn't long before the com-
plaints begin to come in. There is noth-
ing more calculated to fill the soul with
murder than a fresh boy who strolls into
your office, with a message, puffing a
cigarette. He does it so impudently,
blowing the smoke into your face and
irritating you until you feel that you could
strangle him. I know just what the feel-
ing is, and so far as is in my power I en-
force the law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes to boys under the age of six-
teen. "

A CIGAR GRABBER GRABBED.

A negro was arrested Monday night,
after having grabbed a box of cigars in
the Albermarle Pharmacy at Thirteenth
and Walnut streets, and endeavoring to
make way with them. The negro, to
distract the clerk's attention, asked for
a small purchase and under cover of that
ruse sought to steal the cigars. When
searched a bottle of Florida water was
found on him and the police think he
has worked the same game on other
druggists.

THE NELK MURDER.
George Nelk, aged 22, is under arrest
charged with the brutal murder of his
mother and with having made a murder-
ous assault upon his sister. The crime
for which Nelk must answer in court oc-
curred Wednesday evening, February 1 1.
Mrs. Catherine Nelk, his mother, kept
a small cigar and candy store at 5218
Wakefield street, Philadelphia. George,
her son, bears the reputation of having
been a ne'er-do-well who has associated
with dissolute companions. He recently
got out of work and knowing that his

mother had about $100 in the house, it
is charged that he went to her home, as-
saulted both her and his sister, Minnie,
with a hatchet, secured the money and
then fled. Mrs. Nelk's eldest married
daughter and others found her in a dying
condition and her daughter Minnie barely
conscious. The injured girl accused her
brother of the murderous assault. Eight
hours after she was found Mrs. Nelk
died. Minnie Nelk was removed to the
Germantown hospital where it was said
she could not live. The alleged mur-
deier was arrested Sunday night in a
resort at Reading, Pa. He is a confirmed
cigarette fiend and it is thought, is a
moral degenerate.

CUPID AND THE TRADR
Saturday last was St. Valentine's Day
and according to report Cupid left a
number of alleged valentines — with suit-
able "pomes' thereon — with several
Philadelphia cigar manufacturers and
dealers. The following verses are sub-
mitted as samples of the so-called valen-
tines said to have been received:

The shades of night were falling fast.
As through a Jersey village passed,
A man who smoked from door to door,
A fragrant "Cinco ' Kisenlohr.

Excelsior I

Here's a song to my cigar.
We'll smoke it evermore;
Fragrant — perfect — Oh the joy
Of Lipschutz's dandy "44."

Musician Hubbard,
Went to the cupboard,

To get his priceless 'cello;
When he got there,
He found something rare,

A Duncan & Moorhead "Marcello."

Mary had a little lamb,

But Mary couldnt catch it;

And so she smoked a fine cheroot,

And murmured, "You can't Match-It.'

The family Tuffit,
Sat on a muffit,
And puffed rank Onionolas;

But Salesman Pence
Taught them some sense
And now they smoke "Cubanolas."

In the good old summer time.
In the good old summer time,
Sailing down the lovely bay, fishing,

smoking all the day;
Sweetheart Rosie, like a posy.
Sails with me to-day.
I love her as I love my dear old Vetter-

lein "Saborosa."

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET

Dull is the word that best describes the
condition of the leaf market during the
past week. A number of the larger leaf
houses, it is true, have done a good,
almost a brisk business, but sales of to-
bacco in the aggregate have not been
any too numerous nor of large quantity.

Inquiries show that 1900 seed leaf is
fairly scarce and as a result manufacturers
are commencing to buy small lots of the
1901 crop. The demand of the past week
has been for Connecticut, Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania Broadleat B's.

The demand for Sumatra and Havana
has been steady although sales made
were in small lots. In Sumatra the
tendency is for manufacturers to hold off
buying in quantities until after the com-
ing Amsterdam inscriptions.

Prices have continued firm with pros-
pects that there will be a slight advance
on 1900 seed leaf.

Exports.

Liverpool. — 17 tierces.

Antwerp, — iScasesplug; 5 boxes; 62
hogsheads.

London. — 2 hogsheads leaf; 12 bags
tobacco stalks.

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 17, 1903.

Th«' leaf tobaci-o innrkt't has shown
some sijrns of activity dnriiip the w«M'k.
the 1900 crop continniii); t<t havo the
call. Jobber« and inanufactnrcrs. n*-
alizing that the IJKX) crop beinj; out
of the market, are turning; their at-
tention to the choice of packintfs of the
1901 crop. Several uood jtized sales
at satisfactory prices haviiit; been made
recently.

There is nothing new to be said con-
ceminK the liK)2 crop. The buying con-
tinues and deliveries are made to the
warehouses daily and steadily. The
packers who are receivins are working
to their fullest capacities.

John G. Munima. manager (»f the
Central Cigar Co.. at Lititz. reports
trade very brisk in the Imrough and es-
pecially at his factory where they have
100 hands at work. They are open for
more cigar makers rnd strippers, but
cannot get suttlcient f> meet their de-
mands.

Manufacturers everywhere in the dis-
trict continue busy and report trade
good.

Revenue Collector Hershey is altout
delivering the treasury warrants in
payment of the rebate on tobacco and
snuff due to the change in the tax rate
on July 1. 1J)02. There are 44«'. such
(laiqm in this (listrict. aggregating:
$45,000. the amounts ranging from the
minimum allowed. $10 to $r).f>0<>.

Michael H. Engle. Lancaster n-pre-
SMitative of Sutler Bros., is re<-eiving
quite heavily of the 1902 crop. He finds
that the prwcnt rpmrters are inade-
quate and vacant warehouses being a
scarcity, he will in a few weekH, break

ground tor the erection of a large, mod-
ern and up-to-date \\ .1 rehouse .m .North

(ieorge Newman, of IMiiladelpbia. who
lias been »<iniing to this <ity for thirty-
two years, repn'sentiiig leaf tobacio in-
terests, was among last week's arivals
at the tiibsoii House. "When I .-nni-
inenced my pilgrimages to this «'ity the
idd Knriiet. the <ialt, the Crawford aiul
St. .lames Ilotelt* were leading histel-
ries." said he. "Cincinnati is sho\ving
remarkable evidences of growth and
general pros|M-rity within the o.ist
year or two. es|N*cially. Everything is
<-hanged from these olden times. Tlie
tobacco business is expanding and de-
veloping, of course, according to the
LTowtli and <levelopinent of the «"oiintry.
One henrH a good deal alMtut trusts, even

in «onne«'tion with the tobacco leaf bus-
im-ss. but that is about all ther«' is to it.
There is too mtich farming land in this
lonntry for the pro«lncts of the soil to be
eonn-red. Especially is this true r«'g.ird-
ing toliac«-o. There was an attempt at
cornering the «-rop a yi-ar «»r so ago,
and fjibnlons prices were paid growers
by the so-<aUed trust. As a result, every-
bmly went to raising tobacco, and the
fcdUiwim: year double the (inaiitity v as
put on the market, and the combina-
tion didn't attempt another corner.

"You people in and around Cincinnati
havtii't felt the coal shortage at all,
in comparison with the inconvenience
and sufTerim: caused by it in the East.
In riiiladelphia people went to their
neighbors seeking to be taken in where
there was warmth; some went to hotels
and sonie «-ven left town for the <otmtry,
where wood could be had f«»r fuel. My
son. who lives within KKI mih's of the
mines, paid $!»► a ton for loal that for-
merly cost him $<►."

"The farmers will not plant so large a
crop <tf tobacco this y«'ar as they did last
season, because a large trust has been
forme«l. and they «lo not believe the rev-
enue would be HH good as heretofore,"
said John T. Downey, of Charlest<ui. 8.
C., who was in the city n'cently. "An-
other reason is the tine cotton crop that
has been harvested and srdd at a good
figure."

.lames Mctiann. <»f Cleveland, veteran
repn-sentative of t<d)acco mainifactur-
ing interests, was at the I'alace II<»teI
last week. "I have recently visited ev-
I ery city and important town of this
State." sai«l he. "ami without exception
I found them enjoying prosperity to an
tinnsnal degree. Everybody said, too,

that all the imiications w«'re for an in-
definite continuous of. these satisfactory
j'onditions."

COLD AND RAINY AT 'FRISCO

With Result that Tobacco Has Been Dull
— Snow Falls Across the Bay —
Trade Notes, Etc.
San Francisco, Cal , Feb. 9, '03.

We have had three weeks of cold,
rainy days. Tin-sday ami Wednesday
siMuv fell in c<uisid»'rable quantity just
across the Hav a thing which had not
occurred befor<' for seven years. All
this has put u damper on retail trade.
Wholesalers, however, note that orders
are begininng to come in in quantities
and have no <-ompiaint to make. With
the leaf dealers business is still quiet.

Cigar inanufa<-turers throughout Cali-
fornia are working up to the limit and
employing all of the cigarmakers that
are availabh'. In fact more cigarmakers
w<Mild be emploved if thev were to be
had.

Th«' threatened strike of the cigar-
makers was amicably s«'ttled last Tues-
day «'vi'inng. The cigarmakers saw the
inadvisability of trying to urge more
than they had a right to exp«»ct and the
movement was killed by a vote three to
one. On the first of Alarch thev will
raise the price for making fancy shaped,
a dolhir a thousand.

The Lichtenstein & Cerruti Company,
importers of cigars at iiiW Washington
street, are not n'<-eiving shipm«>nts of
g<M>ds fast enough to suit them. Orders
are ctuning in fast ami except for the
<i«-layed shipments they are more pleased
than ever with the outlook for spring.

LEAF TOBACCO MARKETS

CONNECTICl'T VALLEY.

Good tobacco sells at very modetate
prices. Indeed much lower than was
thought possible. For our often well-
considered and careful growers to sell
their crops, and crops that were well nigh
perfect in leaf, at the extremely low rates
that they have done, is to me simply
childish. Why. if I hadn t the time to
assort it, I would not plant an ounce of
seed the coming season, and would have
devoted to sorting and packing the few
tons of tobacco I h.id. But if, on the
other hand, the crop was all wrong, on
account of climatic reasons, beyond the
grower's control, then most certainly
would I have removed the bad leaf and
sold the good at its woith. And it seems
to the looker-on as though there should
be a cooperative company formed, and
a committee to dispose of the crop. The
crowd of hawkeis rush out from the cities
every fall to tell bugaboo stories to the
growers and frighten them into a sale of
their crops at filler rates, or, at best,
binder rates. It is better to raibe other
crops than to raise tobacco at ruinous
figures. We have recently heard of a
farmer selling his crop for 2c a pound.

Our correspondents wiite;

Montague: "We have to report the
sale of the crop of Donelson & Brown of
1902 at I2C in the bundle, and J. R.
Ball sold his crop at p. t. Buyers are
driving around, but not doing much
business."

Wethersfield, Ct.: "About one-half of
the tobacco is taken down here. It is
stripping off and showing a very fine
leaf, both in color and quality, and as
ftound a crop as was ever grown. Two
crops have been sold, John Warner's and
William Skaats', to H. K. Dibble, of
Hartford."

Suffield, Ct : "A very large quantity
of tobacco has changed hands of late.
The Ameiic.tn Tobacco Company's leaf
is all being shipped to Richmond, Va.,
where it will be assorted. That com-
pany has searched for high grade lots,
and, as a matter of course, prices have
langed at an average of 20c in the bun-
dle. This may give a spur to the leaf
trade elsewhere."

East Windsor, Ct. "Several sales have
been made of late, but prices have
ranged from 12c to 15c lor good lots. ' —
American Cultivator.

BALUWINSVILLi:, N. Y.
There has been consideiable activity
in the market for the past few days.
Dembo & Haskins of Syracuse and Or-
ville Giflford have been buying and A.
W. Gieske of B.iltimore. Md , has been
riding with J. Wallace Lee. and they
have made a number of purchases. The
prices reported as p.iid have ranged from
3c in the bunole to 8c assorted. The
following are among the crops reported
as having been bought: Charles Breed.

3 acres, J. P. Bullard, 3 acres. Charles^
Keller. 4 acres. Arthur Kelly and J. P.
Van Liew. 6 acres. Clark Hubbard. 4
acres, E. J. Rowell, 5 acres, Newton

Benjamin .Schenck, 3 acres, Joseph But-
ton, 3 acres, Chas. Smart, 3 acres, Chas.

— Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.

A quiet movement is still being con-
ducted in the country districts leading
towards th« gathering in of the tobacco
in growers' hands of both cured and new
leaf. The bulk of sales reported are of
old goods induced by a better demand
for this stock in the eastern markets.

Themarketin cured leaf has developed
no new features.

A stream of deliveries is pouring into
the warehouse towns daily, but it is
hardly possible that much more than
half the crop is yet received. The pack-
ers are crowding the warehous- work with
all possible dispatch with the help at
hand, but many of the packing points
report a shortage of help though better
wages are being paid than for some years
past.

1903.

These are prosperous days for the
leaf tobacco dealers in York. Since the
beginning of the new yetr their trade
has been of the kind that denotes good
times in the cigar business. There has
been no booms or spurts, but a stea(!y
demand for goods of all grades. Fiom
present indications February business
this year in York will f.tr exceed that of
1902. There is a great demand for 1900
leaf, but unfortunately for the packers
there is very little of that class of goods
to be found in this market. Bu^eis are
now turning to the 1901 crop and some
lar^e sale have bet n made recently. Dur-
ing the past week, R. U, Zeck shipped
for S. L. Johns 60 cases of 1901 leaf.

Tobacco buyers say there is consider-
able quantity of the 1902 crop still in the
hands of the growers. During the past
ten days smoe large purchases weie made
from farmers in the vicinity of Rockey.
but the largest lots and best tobacco in
that section is still unsold. The weather
the past week has been favorable to
shipping and nearly every one v*ho has
not already done so, is now at it.

Shipments of 1902 tobacco are now
under way on a large s-cale. During the
past ten days R. D. Zcch has shipped
seven car lo.tds of Y^ork county leaf from
Mount Wolf and York.

The tobacco was bought through the
Druck valley and Holland, where the
best tobacco is raised in York county.
and was shipped to firms in Lancaster.
The prices paid were from 7 to 8|^ and
2C. Among some of the choice lots
weie George Wogan. 20 acres; Fred.
Hailman, 4 acres; H. H. Kauflfman, 3
acres; Nye & Druck, 4 acres; Jacob Wam-
baugh, 13 acres; Samuel Siple, 3^ acres;
Fred. Siple. 3 acres; Samuel Hilsey, 4
acres; C. Frcy, 3 acres; John Siple. 4
acres; Kli Ginquick, 6 actes; A. Gin-
quick, 3>i acres; H. Wolf, 6 acres; H.
Wolf. 6 acres; H. Marklcy, 4 acres.

The total shipments of 1902 leaf for

in the York office of the Ninth Penn-
sylvania Internal Revenue District, has
resigr ed his position at the request of
Collector H. L. Hershey. An uncon-
firmed rumor from a reliable source is to-
the effect that Adam F. Strajer, a candi-
date for the York postmrstership in the
last contest, wou'd succeed Captain J.
W. Minnich as first stamp deputy. This
office carries with it an annual salary of
$1,400. Daniel F. lirenneman, outside
deputy, is also expected to retire from
the service. C. O. McConkev, of Delta,
nominee last fall for clerk of the courts,
is said to be slated to succeed him. The
silafy of this appointment is $1,500 per
year. Seth Minnich. outside deputy,
is the third man who, report says, will
retire from the revenue service. G.
Frank Lindemuth, of the sixth ward.
York, is said to be slated as his succes-
sor. This appointment is worth $1,500
per annum.

The cijjar making business in York
county still continues to flourish like a
green bay tree. Orders for cigars are
pourmg in from all sections and every
factory is busy. New factories coniinue
to spring up in all sections of the < ountry
Charles A. Baylor, a well-known c gar
manufacturer of York, will establish a
new cigar factory in Kmigsville. The
plant will be a large one and give em-
ployment to many mechanics. Mr.
Baylor has pl.iced his order for the latest
machinery used in the cigarmaking in-
dustry, and intends making the factory
one of the best equipped in York county.
W. H. Raab & Sons, of Dallastown,
manuf.ictureis of high grade cigais, has
so many orders on hand that he has had
to make arr.mgements with Swartz
Brothers, of Dover, to help him out,

JUDGING A CIGAR.

By Harry Rich. Germantown, Ohio.

The quality desired in a cigar is largely
one of individual taste. That there is an
approximate standard by which a cigar
can be judged however is evidenced by
the fact that where many different brands
are tested at an exposition or exhibition
some brands are awarded, by the jury,
premiums for having more degrees of
merit than the others.

What constitutes quality, especially as
regards flavor and aroma is difficult to
define. One can better state what is not
wanted th.m what is exactly desired. The
elements of quality sought by the smoker
are three in nun\ber: flavor and aroma,
the burn, the general style and appear-
ance. They may be ranked quite accu-
rately in importance in accordance with
the following scale:

Flavor and aroma 60 points

Burn 25 "

Style and appearance 15

The flavor and aroma are associated
together. A cigar having a good aroma
generally has a good flavor and vice
versa. The two senses of smell and taste
ar» closely related as shown by the fact
that the nose is placed directly over the
mouth. As a general rule, the sense of

tine. The true bouquet of a fine rigar
is a mild, volatile, slightly sour and salty
yet pleasing flavor. There should be no
acid, bitter, sweet astringent sensation,
no irritation of the throat. Ihese un-
desirable qualities indicate that the nico-
tine has not been neutralized and that
whatever ethereal compounds the to
bacco does contain have not been devel-
oped.

The burnmg quality, of course, is not
difficult to determine. It seems that the
smoker places too much importance on

TRUE TOBACCO ROMANCES.
IX.— The CaLlender TKa.t Smoked.

The finest ( offee house in Constanti-
nople used to be situated just across the
r.ad from the Yildi/ Kiosk. It was a
peach of a place. Its lofty dome was
supported on pillars of the finest onyx
resting upon a marble floor strewn with
the most gorgeous rugs of Persia and
Asia Minor. Hugs also covered the

gayeiy is always tolerated in a Turk, who
is never really grave except when at
prayers, or slaughtering an Armenian, or
driving a bargain with a Giaour. Never-
theless there was one vagabond, a cal-
ender, or begging dervish, who was really
objectionable to the attendants inj the

divans upon which the coffee drinkers coffeehouse because of his horribly filthy

and the smokers of the national bubble

walls were texts from the Koran in Riis

this item, it is said that theie are three | the rendezvous of all that was swell or
classes of smokers: those that smoke gay among the men of Stamboul. and
with their eyes, those thit smoke with ' of much of the rest of the population of

their ears, and those that smoke with
their mouth. Those that pay so much
attention to the burn belong to the first
class. One does not like to have the
cigar go out half a dozen limes in the
course of a smoke, nor the ash to flake
over his clothing. Charring of the cigar
is another bad sign because many times
it indicates a bad flavor and aroma. The
cigar should burn uniformly and evenly
in all its parts, the ash of the filler alwa\s
protruding and not leaving the cigar hoi
low.

the city as well, for Constantinople is
not only a very cosmopolitan city, it is
also very democratic.

The beautiful coffee-house opposite
the Yildiz Kiosk was filled from morning
till night and in and out of its doors
during the twelve hours it was lawful to
keep these opened, surged men of every
social grade and almost of every nation
under the sun. Some of them were
picturesque on account of the extraord-

appearance. He was as meek as cheese
and never accosted anybody in the place
not even to hold out his begging bowl,
but every evening after service and for
several weeks at a stretch he came into
the resplendent coffee-house, pushed his
way through the throng as though he was
the equal of any man there and gravely
lighted his cigarette at the hanging lamp
in the center of the room. And such a
cigarette: The tobacco he had plainly
picked up in the streets, and the paper
was any old scrap he could pick up.
Sometimes this atrocious thing would go
out after a puff or two and then the cal-
ender would turn quietly around, return
to the lamp and relight it. By and by
the visits of this objectionable and un-
productive patron grew unendurable to

ENGLISH TOBACCOS IN FAVOR.
The demand in the better class of cigar
stores throughout the United States, as
well as in hotel stands and at winter and

summer resorts, for long-estaolished
brands of Knglish pipe tobaccos, such as
W. D. & H. O. Wills* Capstan and
Traveller, and for Pioneer. Smith's Cllas
gow Mixture and others has grown of
late years almost in exact proportion to
the spread in America of the fondness for
golf and other outdoor sports modeled
upon those of Kngland. I'ipe smokers
are as much in evidence on the links in
America and on board yachts in our
native waters as they are in Kngland or
on the waters of the Continent. Indeed,
the fashion of pipe smoking is so general
among lovers of out-of-doors that the
man who does not smoke a pipe is
regarded as somewhat unusual.

English pipe tobaccos have been
smoked to some extent in the United
States continuously ever since colonial
days, and the first heavy duty ever im-

posed upon such tobaccos, namely, that
of 55 cents a pound levied by the Mc-
Kinley bill of 1890, was not re illy a seri-
ous check, because such tobaccos, owing
to their naturally higher cost, were always
smoked by the wealthier pipe lovers of
this country anyway. It is to the credit
of the English manufacturers that they
have always aimed to keep their brands
up to the original high standaid. Some
of the brands mentioned in this article
have been on the market, both in Europe
and America for over a century. The
leaf out of which they are made is of Vir-
ginia or Maryland growth, and the Eng-
lish buyers on those markets have been
famous for very many years for the judg-
ment and care they have displayed in its
purchase. The process of manufacture
in England is, of course, very similar to
the processes of manufacture of smoking
tobaccos in this country, yet the softness
of the English climate is believed to im-
part to these tobaccos a flavor which is
distinctive and highly agreeable to lovers
of the pipe. All English tobaccos brought
into the United States are imported in
air-tight tins and thus reach the consumer
in the same condition as though he had
bought them in London or Glasgow.

WHAT $1.00 WILL DO.

The subscription price to The Tobacco World
has been reduced, and is now only fl. CO per year.
It is the first and only tobacco paper in the
world, published weekly at One Dollar the year.

Subscriptions art- payable invariably in ad-
vance, and reniitiauccs may be made by bank
check, post office money order, or in jiostaKC
stani|>s In)reign rates are $'2AtO per annum.

The Tobacco World is the best- of all Tobacco
Papers Ixrcause:

1. It is conducted by men whose technical knowl
edge of every branch of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, and whose
personal acquaintance in the trade is most extensive.

2 The Tobacco World treats all questions and all
individuals and corporations wiih absolute fairness.

3. The Tobacco World voices the sentiments of
the trade an«i all its branches on all public questions.

4. The Tobacco World is always the first to
give the news.

5. The circulation of The Tobacco World is so
large that its advertising patrons may confidently
count upon returns.

6. The Tobacco World's advertising rates are
always reasonable, and correspondence on this
subject is solicited from the trade.

7. The Tobacco World numV)eis among its
volunteer contributors the best informed and nust
widely known and influential meml)ers of the tra«lc
in the United States, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the
rhilippines, in Mexico and Central America, in
S )uth America, in Europe, in Indiaand in Australia.

8 During 19(>2 the m»>st striking novelty in The
Tobacco world was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whi^h
began on January 1, with a chapter entitled "The
Truth Alx)utthc Disi-overv of Tobacco," contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosen wald &
Bro , of New York, and now the presiilent < f the
National Cigar Leaf Association , ended on December
24 with a chapter entitled '* The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester.
N. H. Each of the other fifly chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the " Comic
Historv of Tobacco' bv Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To

BECAUSE BRET HA1LTE WROTE IT.

A subscriber in New Brunswick, N. S. .
who cannot get the book, asks me to re-
print Bret Harte's burlesque on Conan
Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. He says he
has heard this piece of work spoken of as
being very humorous. Possibly he will
not agree with those who have told him
so, after he has read it It is plainly not
one of Bret Harte's masterpieces, \et it
is entitled to a whole lot of considera-
tion, first, because Harte wrote it, and
secondly because it was almost the last
piece of work he ever did.

The book, More Condensed Noveb", is
published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co.

THE STOLEN CIGAR CASE.

By A. Co— N D— LE.

I found Hemlock Jones in the old
Brook street lodgings, musing before the
fire. With the freedom of an old friend
I at once threw myself in my usual
familiar attitude at his feet, and gently
caressed his boot I was induced to do
thisuibr two reasons one, that it enabled
me to get a good look at his bent, con-
centrated face, and the other, that it
seemed to indicate my reverence for his
superhuman insight So absorbed w<is
he even then, in tracking some myster-
ious clue, that he did not seem to notice
me. But therein I was wrong — as I
always was in my attempt to understand
that powerful intellect. "It is raining,"
he said, without lifting his head.

'You have been out, then?' I said
quickly.

"No. But I see that your umbrella
is wet, and that your overcoat has drops
of water on iL "

I sat aghast at his penetration. After
a pause he said carelessly, as if dismiss-
ing the subject. "Besides, I hear the
rain on the window. Listen. ' '

I listened. I could scarcely credit my
ears, but there was the soft pattering of
drops on the panes. It was evident
there was no deceiving this man!

"Have you been busy lately?" I
asked, changing the subject. "What
new problem given up by Scotland
Yard as inscrutable — has occupied that
gigantic intellect?"

He drew back his foot slightly, and
seemed to hesitate ere he returned it to
its original position. Then he answered

wearily: "Mere trifles — nothing to speak
of. The Prince Kupoli has been here
to get my advice regarding the disap-
pearance of certain rubies from the
Kremlin; the Rajah of Furtibad, after
vainly beheading his entire bodyguard,
has been obliged to seek my assistance
to recover a jeweled sword. The Grand
Duchess of Pretzel Brauntswig is de-
sirous of discovering where her husband
was on the night of February 14; and
last night" — he lowered his voice slightly
— "a lodger in this very house, meeting
me on the stairs, wanted to know why
they didn't answer his bell. '

I could not help smilmg— until I saw
a frowm gathering on his inscrutable
forehead.

"Pray remember," he said coldly,
"that it was through such an apparently
trivial question that I found out Why
Paul Kerroll Killed His Wife, and WHat
Happened to JonesI '

I became dumb at once. He paused
for a moment, and then suddenly chang-
ing back to his usual pitiless, analytical
style, he said: "When 1 say these are
trifles, they are so in comparison to an
affair that is now before me. A crime
has been committed,— and, singularly
enough, against myself. You start, '
he said. "You wonder who would have
dared to attempt it. So did I; never-
theless, it has been done. I have been
robbed :

"You robbedl You, Hemlock Jones,
the Terror of Peculators!" 1 gasped in
amazement, arising and gripping the
table as I faced him.

"Yes! Listen. I would confess it to
no other. But you who have followed
my career, who know my methods; you,
for whom I have partly lifted the veil
that conceals my plans from ordinary
humanity, — you, who have for years
rapturously accepted my confidences,
passionately admired my inductions ai.d
inferences, placed yourself at my beck
and call, become my slave, groveled at
my feet, given up your practice except
those few unremunerative and rapidly
decreasing patients to whom, in moments
of abstraction over my problems, you
have administered strychine for quinine
and arsenic for epsom salts; you. who
have sacrificed anything and everybody
to me, — you 1 make my confidant! '

I arose and embraced him warmly,
yet he was already so engrossed in
thought that at the same moment he
mechanically placed his hand upon his
watch chain as if to consult the time.
"Sit down," he said. "Have a cigar?"

"I have given up cigar smoking," I
said.

"Why?" he asked.

I hesitated and perhaps colored. I
had really given it up because, with my
disminished practice, it was too expen-
sive. 1 could afford only a pipe. "I
prefer a pipe," I said laughingly. "But
tell me of this robbery. What "have you
lost?*"

He arose, and planting himself before
the fire with his hands under his coat
tails, looked down upon me reflectively
for a moment. "Do you remember the
cigar case presented to me by the Turk-
ish Ambassador for discovering the miss-
ing favorite of the Grand Vizier in the
fifth chorus girl at the Hilarity Theatre?
It was that one. I mean the cigar case.

It was incrusted with diamonds."

"And the largest one had been sup-
planted by paste," 1 said.

"Ah, he said with a reflective smile,
"you know that?"

"You told me yourself. 1 remember
considering it a proof of your extraord-
inary perception. But, by Jove, you
don't mean to say you have lost it?"

He was silent for a moment. "No.
it has been stolen, it is true, but 1 shall
still find It. And by myself alone! In
your profession, my dear fellow, when
a member is seriously ill, he does not
prescribe for himself, but calls in a
brother doctor. Therein we diflTer. I
shall take this matter in my own hands."

'And where could you find better.'"
I said enthusiastically. "I should say
the cigar case is as good as recovered
already."

"1 shall remind you of that again,"
he said lightly. "And now, to show you
my confidence in your judgment, in spite
of my determination to pursue this alone,
1 am willing to listen to any suggestions
from you."

He drew a memorandum book from
his pocket and, with a grave smile, took
up his pencil.

I could scarcely believe my senses.
He, the great Hemlock Jones, accepting
suggestions from a humble individual
like myself! I kissed his hand rever-
ently, and began in a joyous tone:

"First, I should advertise, offering a
reward ; I should give the same intima-
tion in hand-bills, distributed at the
•pubs' and the pastry cooks', I should
next visit the different pawnbrokers; I
should give notice at the police station.
I should examine the servants. I should
thoroughly search the house and my own
pockets. I speak relatively," I added,
with a laugh. "Of course I mean your

own,"

He gravely made an entry of these
details.

"Perhaps," I added, "you have
already done this.^"

"Perhaps, '" he returned enigmatically.
"Now, my dear friend," he continued,
putting the note book in his pocket and
rising, "would you excuse me for a few
moments? Make yourself perfectly at
home until I return. There may be some
things, ' he added with a sweep of his
hand toward his heterogeneously filled
shelves, "that may interest you and
while away the time. There are pipes
and tobacco in that corner."

Then nodding to me with the same
inscrutable face he left the room. I was
too well accustomed to his methods to
think much of his unceremonious with-
drawal, and made no doubt he was off
to investigate some clue which had sud-
denly occurred to his active intelligence.

Left to myself I cast a cursory glance
over his shelves. There were a number
of small glass jars containing earthy sub-
stances, labeled "Pavement and Road
Sweepings, " from the principal thorough-
fares and suburbs of London, with the
subdirections "for identif\ing foot-
tracks." There were several other jars,
labeled, "Fluff from Omnibus and Road
car Seat, " "Cocoinut Fibre and Rope
Strands from Mattings in Public Places, "
"Cigarette Stumps and Match Ends from
F'loor of Palace Theatre, Row A, i L-50."
Everywhere were evidences of this

wonderful man's system and perspicacity.
I was thus engaged when I heard the
slight creaking of a door, and I looked
up as a stranger entered. He was a
rough looking man, with a shabby over-
coat and a still more disreputable muffler
around his throat and the lower part of
his face Considerably annoyed at his
intrusion, I tuined upon him rather
sharply, when, with a mumbled, growl-
ing apology for mistaking the loom, he
shuffled out ag.iin and clo'-ed the door.
I followed him quickly to the landing
and saw that he disappeared down the
stiirs. With my mind full of the rob-
bery, the incident made a singular im-
piession upon. I knew my friends
habit of hasty absences from his room
I in his moments of deep inspiration; it
was only too probable that, with his
powerful intellect and magnificent per-
ceptive genius concentrated on one sub-
ject, he should be careless of his own
belongings, and no doubt even forget to
take the ordin.iry precaution of locking
up his drawers. I tried one or two and
found that I was right, although for some
reason 1 was unable to open one to its
fullest extent. The handles were sticky,
as if some one had opened them with
dirty finge.s. Knowing Hemlock's fas-
tidious cleanliness, 1 resolved to inform
him of this circumstance, but I forgot it,

alas! until — but I am anticipating my
story.

His absence was strangely prolonged,
I at last seated myself by the fire, and
lulled by warmth and the patter of the
rain on the window, I fell asleep. I may
have dreamt, for during my sleep I
had a vague semi-consciousness as of
hands being softly pressed on myipockets
— no doubt induced by the story of the
j robbery. When I came fully to my
senses, I found Hemlock Jones sitting on
the other side of the hearth, his deeply
concentrated gaze fixed on the fiie.

"I found you so comfortably asleep
that I could not bear to awaken you,"
he said, with a smile.

I rubbed my eyes, * And what news?"
I asked. "How have you succeeded-*"

"Better than I expected," he said,
"and I think," he added, tapping his
note-book, "I owe much to you, "

Deeply gratified, I awaited more. But
in vain, I ought to have remembered
that in his moods Hemlock Jones was
reticence itself I told him simply of the
strange intrusion, but he only laughed.

Later, when I arose to go, he looked
at me playfully. "If you were a married
man," he said, "I would advise you not
to go home until you had brushed your
sleeve. There are a few short brown
seal-skin hairs in the inner side of your
forearm, just where they would have ad-
hered if your arm had encircled a seal-,
skin coat with some pressure!"

"For once you are at fault," I said
triumphantly; 'the hair is my own, as
you will perceive; I have just had it cut
at the hairdresser's, and no doubt this
arm projected beyond the apron."

He frowned slightly, yet, neveitheless,
on my turning to go he embraced me
warmly — a rare exhibition in that man
of ice. He even helped me on with my
oveicoat and pulled out and smoothed
down the flaps of my pockets. He was
particular, too, in fitting my arm in my
i(Continued top. 26.)

soon as the store front was repainted
I noticed how dusty and unclean
my display window was. I soon
attended to that. In succession
my attention was directed to what
I considered necessary additional
improvements to the store as follows:
I added additional lights, both to
the display window and store; I
polished up the showcases, cleaned
the shelves, had the whole place
repapered and learned how to
neatly display my stock in the show

Window Displaiy Professors.

Modern stoie window decoration
has become such a vogue that
"schools" have been started to teach
aspirants the knack of tasteful win-
dow displays. Some of the gradu-
ates of these schools occupy re-
sponsible positions with leading
stores in large cities, while other
graduates are making a comfortable
living by contracting with a desired
number of firms to keep their shop
windows dressed with good dis-
plays. There may be a hint in this .
for the retail cigar and tobacco
dealer who cannot get up a good
window exhibit. Why not utilize
the service of one of the Professors
of Window Displays?

Fruit FIsLVored Toba^cco.

Here is a hint for those who en-
joy smoking a pipe, given to a
World reporter last week by an old
smoker: "I mix cut plug and granulated
smoking tobacco together in a fairly air-
tight cigar box," said he. "Then I cut
a fair-sized apple in two and place the
two halves, cut end down, on the tobacco.
I close the box and set it away for about
two weeks. In that time the tobacco ab-
sorbs the moisture of the apple and when
I have a good smoke the tobacco has a
fruit fiavor so pleasant and mild that to
my mind it surpasses all other kinds of
smokes."

"How about using other kinds of fruit
to place in the box — say a peach?" asked
the World representative.

"I never tried any other fruit than an

apple," replied the old smoker, "but I
doubt if they would impart so good a fruit
flavor. A peach would be too moist. I
judge. A pear might do, and I have heard
of others who have tried figs, but I believe
an apple is the best to use."

BUSY BUYERS AT LANCASTER

Looking After Old Tobacco Crops -Cold

Weather Makes a Quiet Leaf Market

- Trade Personals and Notes.

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 23, 1903.
The leaf tobacco market the past week
was dull and quiet, due largely to the
severe snow storms and cold weather
which was so general throughout the
country, and in a measure impeded traffic
and mail facilities. Some sales in small
lots to manufacturers have been made by
the local jobbers.

A firm of brokers here have sold during
the past six weeks about 1,000 cases of
the 1901 crop on commission and by
request. Parties figuring in the trans-
actions desire their names withheld.

As heretofore stated the 1901 crop is
yet very largely in the packers hands,
and up to the present time there has been
only a few inquiries for certain grades.
Some packers have disposed of their
' 'tops" and others of their lower grades
and in nearly, if not eveiy instance at

firm prices. It is the concensus of opinion
in the trade that in a very short time the
crop will be called for and change hands
with more rapidity than is anticipated.

The deliveries to the warehouses of
the 1902 crop were somewhat retarded by
the heavy storm, making the roads in
some sections almost impassible; as a
consequence, the receipts were very
much reduced in comparison to those of
the week previous. There evidently was
an underestimation of the acreage re-
maming unsold, made earlier in the sea-
son, as it now begins to appear that
there is a vast deal more in the growers'
hands unsold, than there had been re-
ported. .
Buyers continue in the field and pick

up the remaining crops as they happen to
find such as meet their approval in quality
and price. Prices range from 7c and 1 %c
to 9 '2C and 2C for seed leaf and 13c, 6c.
3c and 2C, to i6c, 8c, 5c and 2c for
Havana seed.

Jas. K. Shultz, of Washington Borough,
sold his crop of 35 acres Havana seed to
the American Tobacco Co. at i6c, 8c. 3c
and 2C. The tobacco averaged 1,800
pounds to the acre, the total weight being
63,000 pounds.

A. P. Snader, of Ephrata,was appointed
by the United States District Court to act
as receiver in the estate of Reuben Cald-
well, cigar manufacturer of Ephrata
borough.

Revenue Agent A. L Davis was in
Lancaster during the past week, making
a periodical examination of the accounts
of the Ninth Revenue District.

H. H. Miller has returned from an ex-
tended trip to Florida and Cuba. While

James D. Law, formerly manager of
the Havana Cigar Co., of this city, after
an extended sojourn abroad, covering a

to Lancaster. He visited the pincipal
cities in Scotland, England and Ireland,
having had the time of his life. He saw
everything worth seeing from the cot to
the castle and from the King to the
commoner. His missions were both
literal and historical. He did not miss
an opportunity to look up the tobacco
and cigar industries whenever the chance
offered. Among the notable factories
inspected by him wereiSmiths; Mitchells
and BellsatGlasgow, .Scotland. He made
a thorough investigation of the immense
factory of Thos. (i.illaher, at Belfast,
Ireland, the largest independent manu-
facturer in the United Kingdom. Mr.
Law thinks the trusts will have a task on
their hands to even attempt to put Mr.
Gallaher out of business. Mr. Law says
the Havana Cigar Co. h id been closed
out in so far as he was concerned before
he went abroad. He has not at present
made any other arrangements as to his
future line of business and is not yet
certain if he will locate in Lancaster
permanently.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

All New York and his j^iiests from out
of town flocked to the opening of the j
Havana Tobacco Compmys cigar store
in the St. James Huilding. at Broadway I
and Twenty-Sixth street, on February
17. Curiosity to inspect the interior of,
this estiblishnient has been on the qui
vive ever since May of last year, when
public announcement was first made that
on this site was to materialize a cigar
store that should be not only the finest
cigar store in the woild but the finest
retail store of any kind on the globe.
This promise has been kept to the letter
by the Hav.ina Tobicco Company, for
the store in the St. James budding is a
dream of sumptuous beauty realized.
Throughout the months of November,
December, January and part of Feb-
ruary, in fact, up to a very few hours
before the formal opening, heavy canvas
hung before each of the windows pre-
venting even a glimpse of the wonders
that were being wi ought indoors. Public
interest in what was going on behind
those doors, however, was so keen that
every scrap of information that leaked
out was eagerly passed along. Thus, for
instance, the fact that the massive marble
columns supporting the ceiling had been
imported from Italy expressly for this
store, and that they aie possibly the
finest marble pillars in the I' nited States,
was widely discussed and served to whet
the public's appetite for- a sight of the
marvels of which they are but a part.

The Havana Tobacco Company's ad-
vertised announcement on the morning
of February 17, that the store was open
for business dwelt solely upon the fact
that scientists had reproduced in the
humidore connected with the store pre-
cisely the climatic conditions prevailing
in Cuba. Not a word was said in these
announcements about the splendors of
the establishment, and the public which
rushed to the opening, straightway went
past the splendors and denianded an
instant view of the humidors and their
stocks of fine imported cigar. It chanced
that the weather was exceedingly cold
on February 17, and it is small wonder
that shivering New York wanted to get
into the climate of Cuba by as direct
and short a route as possible. I'he pro-
cession to the humidors has kept on
without interruption ever since the open-
ing. Even the ladies, of whom there are
throngs, make for those humidors be-
fore feasting their eyes upon the splendid
tapestries the marbles, palms and other
decorations in the store. Of course,
most of the scores of thousands of visitors
who have inspected the humidors ex-
haust that subject in a very few seconds;
the air they breathe is neither aromatic
of tobacco nor odorous of tropical

can now be found in these humidors con-

where no diviation can occur during the

weather may be.

The methods by which these atmos-
pheric conditions are produced are as
follows :

In the basement of the building is
installed a complete air circulating and
heating system under thermostatic con-
trol, combined with a complete humidi-
fying system under humidostatic control.

To this end a production of cold air
is required which is accomplished by a
ten ton refrigerating machine and an
immense bank of freezing coils over
which air is circulated.

several million cigars. President J. B.
Cobb has said that the store is to be run
in the interest of importers who are large
buyers of the cigars manufactured in
Havana by the company.

"We have told these gentlemen," he
said the other day, "that if they will ap-
point an auditor we will establish him in
the store to take account of the yearly
profits. These yearly profits will be re-
funded to our direct customers in Havana
cigars in proportion to their purchases
from us. And, at the start, we will buy
from them the stock for the store. This
is our proof that we are not seeking to
invade the retail business. We simply
wish to demonstrate the manner in whiih
cigars — and only real Havana cigars are
to be sold in the store —should be handled
and sold." ._

President Cobb's statement is the key
to the reason why in its advertisements
the company called attention solely to its
humidors.

The public will doubiless keep those
humidors in ever fresh remembrance. Al
the same, it is the store which has daz-
zled, and will continue to dazzle the pub-
lic's eyes.

Stanford White, whose firm. McKim,
Mead & White, are the store' s architects,
is more than pleased with many of the
details of the work, particularly with the
floor, which is of marble in white and
shades of gray jointed here and there
with brass. But the public rarely glances
at the floor; it is most occupied with the
showcases which are all of plate glass,
tops, sides, and shelves, and with their
interesting contents; with the glistening
marble walls, hung with antique tapes-
tries from palaces in Spain or taly; with
the costly marble tables; with the arm
chairs covered with Cordovan leather or
with cut velvet that was new in Isabella's
time; with the potted palms that reach
from floor to ceiling, and which cost about
5250 apiece; with a $5,000 rug on the
floor toward the rear of the apartment;
with the painted ceiling which gives a
glimpse of a perennial tropical summer,
and lastly, it takes a real delight in the
seven mural paintings giving successive
panoramic views of Cuba. The first
shows the entrance to the harbor of Ha-
vana, Morro Castle being boldly in the
foreground; the second extends the view
of the harbor showing Cabanas fortress
in the middle distance.

The remaining five pictures carry the
eye past the city of Havana and presently
it is resting upon tobacco plantation in
full leaf These pictures are intended
to be educational and are extraordinarily
decorative.

It is no secret to those who are familiar
with the work of originating the scheme
of decoration in the St James Building
store, that great credit for the successful
results achieved is due to the initiative

of President J. B. Cobb.

The dishonest leaf merchant who sold
Havana at marked weights is in a pickle.
H e has told the man who he victimized,and
who hasn't yet paid for the last two bales
he got from him, that he would allow
t him for the excess weight on those two
bales but not on the other five for which
the victim paid before the fraud was dis-
covered, and the victim has retorted that
unless he gets an allowance on the first
five too, he won' t pay for a single pound
in the last two. The swindlers only re-
course is to sue for the last two bales, but
if he does that he will have to face a
cross-examination and that might be too

DEATH OF SAMUEL JACKSON.

A Leading Cigar Manufacturer of Cin-
cinnati, Who Met Death at the Cedar
Rapids Hotel Fire.
[Special to The Tobacco World].

Cincinnati, Feb. 24, 1903.
The funeral of Samuel Jackson, presi-
dent of the Samuel Jackson Cigar Com-
pany, who was burned to death at the
Clifton Hotel fire at Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
February 17th, took place here to-day.
The remains were brought to this city
Monday and were taken to the home of
the family at Walnut Hills.

Mr. Jackson's sudden death came as
a severe and unexpected blow to his
family. The body was identified by Mrs.
Jackson who knew from the description
of the gold watch and teeth that it was
that of her husband.

The funeral services were very im-
pressive and were in charge of the
Masonic fraternity. Large numbers of
cigar and tobacco merchants viewed the
remains and many friends, and re atives
followed the body to its final resting place.
Mr. Jackson was 47 years of age.
January i last he bought out the interest
of Mr. May, his partner, in the old firm
of the Jackson & May Cigar Company
and organized the Samuel Jackson Cigar
Company. Over 100 hands were em
ployed at the factory and business was
brisk. The factory is closed on account
of Mr. Jackson's death.

The deceased was widely known and
enjoyed the respect and esteem of all.

Friday afternoon last. The conbtnu ion
and by-laws, as presented by the com-
mittee appointed ;it the IJurnet H< use

with but little altetation. The election
of six directois resulted in electing without

Davis, and John I). Kleyman, ot Coving
ton, Ky.. and Charles Krohn. Aithur R.
Morj^an, and Samuel Straus. A letter
addiessed to J. K Steubenrauch. and
signed S. K. Moorhead, was read, which
created something of a panic among the
members. It was in answer to one Mr.
Steubenrauch h;td written relative to nn
offer he had made for the sale :f hisstoie.

Fart of the letter reads: "in repl>, will
say that we are not buying or st irting ci-
gar stores in Cincinn.tti or any other
place. However; if your store is well
located, I refer you to J. S. Hill, of your
city, with whom you may be able to
make satisfactory arrangements. "

The cigar leaf men as well as the
mantit ctuiers of cigars are using their
influence in the interest^ of the associa-
tion and the Hurley tobacco men have
been urged to lend their suppo t. The
Hurley men say their sympathy is with
the association but blame the retailers for
the position in which the Hurley trade is
now placed and p'ob ibly will not take a
hand in the game until the retailers tike
a more decided stand on trust goods.

The F. F. V. train on the C. & O.
railroad which left at noon Saturday
carried two special coaches containing
over one hundred of the leading business
men of Cincinnati, as guests of the Busi-
ness Men's Club, for the Tobacco Fair at

Club Hind accompanied the party.
Louisville also sent a delegation of busi-
ness men to the fair to outrival Cincinnati.

The .Samuel Hirsch Co. has purchased

in honor of George Washington's Natal
day, and were closed all day. A num-
ber worked but half a day, closing down
at noon. Factories rushed with orders,
however, thought it best to have their
employes work all day. and as the em-

out, they were satisfied with the arrange-
ment.

day, February 25th. Members of the
association are expected to be present
from Boston, Elmira, Reading, New
York city and many Pennsylvania cities
and towns as well as from the (Quaker
City itself. The association held its
semi-annual meeting last fall, convening
atTagg's Micnnerchor H.ill at 2 o'clock
p. m., September 29. Henry H. Sheip.
of Philadelphia, is president of the as-
sociation and E. F. Defebaugh, secretary.
Owing to his absence in Florida, Mr.
Sheip will not preside at the present con-
vemion. Matters of interest and im-
portance to the cigar box trade will come
up for discussion and action and will be
intermingled with social features. Addi-
tional news of the convention will be
given in next week's Tobacco World.

NEW CIGARETTE MANUFACTORY.

E. Rabinovitch & Co. have leased the
large store at 608 Arch street, and as
soon as alterations and improvements
are completed, will occupy it as a cigar-
ette manufactory and retail cigar and
tobacco store. The firm will manufac-
ture Eg>ptian and Turkish cigarettes a
line of trade with which E. Rabinovitch
ACo.havehad past successful experience.

AN APPRECIATED INNOVATION.
An unusually handsomely furnished
and equipped retail cigar store has been
opened at 142 North Eighth street, by
William Catlin, formerly a salesman with
the American Tobacco Co. An innova-

tion introduced by the proprietor, to-
wit, a large, comfortably furnished smok-
ing room at the rear of the store, is being
appreciated by many of Mr. Catlins"
patrons. He is pushing the sales of the
Key West cigars of the Metropolitan
Ciy;ar Co.

DUNN & CO. FACTORY TO MOVE.
T. J. Dunn & Co., cigar manufacturers,
have taken quarters in the Potts building
on Cherry street and will shortly remove
its factory there from its present qu uters
on North Broad street. The factory
building on North Broad street, occupied
by T. J. Dunn & Go's United States
Cigar Factory is owned by the estate of
the late Henry Heymann.

RESPONDED TO A TOASl.
.\t the fourteenth annual banquet of
the Bramble Club, a social organization,
held atTagg's Micnnerchor Hall. Frank-
i lin street and Fairmount avenue, last
Monday evening, Richard T. Gumpert,
the well-known cigar manufacturer, re-
sponded to the toast "Woman." Mr.
Gumpert's remarks are said to have been
duly appropriate and witty and he was
given hearty applause at the close of his
address.

SUNDAY CLOSING MOVEMENT.

The crusade of the Sabbath Closing
Association of Philadelphia against retail
cigar and candy dealers who do business
on Sunday continues, much to the dis-
gust of storekeepers who have been ar
rested and fined. One cigar dealer, on
amain thoroughfare, after his first arrest,
continued to keep open on Sunday but
sent the amount of his fine to the magis-
trate's court and waived putting in an
appearance. Interested retailers aje
wailing to learn the fate of the Berkel-
bach bill, introduced in the Legislature,
which, if passed, will permit them to sell
cigars and candy on Sunday. It is con-
ceded that the bill has a slim chance of
being passed, and retailers have the al-
ternatives of dosing on Sunday or paying
a fine staring them in the face.

HEYMANN & CO. CIGAR COMPANY
The Heymann & Co. Cigar Company
has been incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey, at Camden, with a capital of
j! 1 00, 000. The officers of the new com-
pany are: Joseph C. Heymann, president,
and Harry Schoenthal, treasurer. Mr.
Heymann was long associated with his
father, the late Henry Heymann, in
managing the T. J. Dunn & Co. cigar
factory. Mr. Schoenthal, the treasurer of
the new company, was for I 5years in charge
of the North Broad street factory of T.
J. Dunn & Co. and is credited with hav-
ing a thorough knowledge of cigars and
their manufacture. The new company

was incorporated for the purpose of
manufacturing cigars and transacting a
tobacco business generally and will open
factories at Key West. Fla. , and in Phila-
delphia. Additional news concerning
the new company will be given soon by
The Tobacco World.

"PENNSY" WILL RUN
RESTAURANT.

M. Riley, who has had the lease of
the Broad Street Station restaurant of the
Pennsylvania railroad, will be superseded
April I by the railroad company itself, |
which will take over the restaurant and \
operate it on and after that date. Mr.
Riley is quite well-known to the cigar
and tobacco trade of the Quaker City on
account of having purchased, in his time,
thousands of dollars' worth of cigars and
his tobacco trade friends will wish him j
success in whatever line he chooses to !
cast his lot after his present restaurant
lease expires.

BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING.
It is a subject of comment that Phila-
delphia cigar manufacturers are good
advertisers and that they do not confine
their efl"orls to any oneform of advertising.
Go where one will the ever-familiar ad-
vertisement of Eisenlohr's Cinco greets
the eye from awning, sidewalk stand or
window. On the large dead wall at
Fourth and Market streets are two large
signs setting forth the merits of cigars,
one of them being Lipschutz's 44. Large
head boards on the tops of the Camden
street cars have painted upon them
Gumpert's Maneto and one can see the
signs from a long distance. On Broad
street at night the name of another pop-
ular cigar is set forth with bright, varie-
gated electric lights which can be seen
almost half a mile away. The "sandwich
man" was utilized by one firm to an-
nounce the merits of its leading brands
and in more than one ferry boat, house,
and street car are the signs of other well-
known manufacturers. In hundreds of
business offices are found handsome
calendars which advertise popular cigars
made by Philadelphia manufacturers and
any number of card cases, memorandum
note books, etc., occupy the pockets of
thousands of ci^ar smokers who have re-
ceived them as souvenir presents.

INTRODUCING NEW PRODUCTS.
Moss & Geppert, of 102 Arch Street,
who formerly were the representatives
of the John J. Hagley Company, of
Detroit, are now representing the Nail &
Williams Tobacco Company, of Louis-
ville, Ky. They are also selling agents
for the P. r. Conrad & Bailey Company,
of Richmond, Va, and are putting on
this market that firm's latest products.

viz: Mahogany Blend, a cut plug and
Cherry Blend, a granulated tobacco.

CONTROLLED BY THE
DOERHOEFERS.

Since they accepted the agency of The
Manufacturers' Tobacco Company, of
Louisville. Ky., Arthur Hagen & Co.,
of North Front street, have been push-
ing the products of the company with
decided success. The Manufacturers
Tobacco Company is controlled by the
Doerhoefers and all the old salesmen
have been re-instated. A new and much
larger line of goods are being manufac-
tured and offered to the trade.

BATROFIN-BLATT.

Joseph Batrofin, manager of the South
Street store of M. Scheinfeldt, was married
recently to Miss Bessie Blatt, the accom-
plished sister of F. Blatt, the well-known
dealer and manufacturer at Forty-First
street and Lancaster avenue.

MOSTLY PERSONALS.

H. E. Stevenson, representing E.
Rosenwald & Co., of New York, has
been a visitor to the Philadelphia trade
this week, and as usual, has booked his
percentage of orders.

George Newman, of the leaf house of
Young & Newman, reached home on
George Washington's birthday. Mr.
Newman had such a severe cold he could
hardly speak, but he was happy. He
had booked many good orders.

VV. E. Dotts, of the leaf house of Dotts
& Keely, left Wednesday morning for a
regular trip through the State. He has
the usual sized "order book" along, and
it will come back with his share of "send-
me-so-muches."

A. Cook, with Dempsey & Koch, man-
ufacturers of the popular Consumo, is
home again from the west with a fine lot
of orders for the house. Mr. E. Demp-
sey, of the firm, is now "en route"
through New Jersey and New York, and
almost every letter received from him
contains good orders for more of the
firm's excellent smokers.

Ventura Blanco, the well-known cigar
manufacturer at 439 Arch street, left for
Cuba last Saturday, where he will look
after tobacco purchases and other busi-
ness. He will be gone a month.

Isidor Langsdorf, of the A. Roig &
Langsdorf cigar factory, reached home
from Havana last week.

John H . Boltz. of Boltz, Clymer & Co.,
who recently returned from a successful
Western business trip, left for Havana
Thursday. He will remain some little
time and will probably purchase tobaccos
for the factory.

M. J. Dalton sailed from New York
last Saturday for Havana.

COLD WEATHER AT YORK

Has Depressing EfTect on Leaf Tob.KCo

M.trket — 1 900 Crop Stdl in Dem.ind

— Ci}4ar Manufacturers Busy.

York, Pa., Feb. 23, 1903.

The past week has been the clullebt
since the tirst of the year in York leaf
tobacco market. The slump is not at-
tributed to .my falling off in the demand
for goods, but on account ol the extreme
cold weather and the b,idl\ blocked toads
by snow. Several leaf honses made a
series of good s.iles during the week, but
the volume of business was not as great
as has been the case since January i.
There are !?till inquiries for 1900 goods,
but the m irket is prartii ally liareofsuch
gocds. Prices still continue to be firm.

The seveie cold weather niui heavy
snow storm has put a stop to the deliver-
mg of the 1902 crop to the local ware-
houses and to the railroads for shipment.
Scarcely any deliveiies were made during
the week, as some ot the country roads
were closed by drifted snow. As soon as
the weather moderates some big ship-
menis of 1902 leaf will be made from
York and vicinity. Seveial large ship-
ments of last year s crop have been made
within the past ten days from Mrid^eton
and Fawn Grove. It is said that con-
sider.ible 1902 tobacco still remains un-
sold in Fawn Grove and vicinity.

.Michael H. Kngle, of Lancaster, repre-
sentative for Sutter Bros., has made some
heavy piirch;)ses of 1902 leaf tobacco in
York county. He has made several large
shipments already fr m this vicinity to
the Suiter packing warehouse in Lancas-
ter. Mr. Kngle is well known to the
tobacio growers of York county, and has
their confidence and esteem because of
fair and honest dealings in past years.

York county cigar manufacturers are
well pleased with the present conditions
as the outlook for the future is full of hope
and encouragement. The wonderful ac-
tivity in the cigar making business still
continues and what has heretofore been
considered one of the dull periods of the
year has passed without any let up in the
demand for goods. Preparations are now
being made for the spring trade and it is
probable that some new novelties will
make their appearance in the spring from
York county factories. Cigar manufac-
turers throughout the county are working
to the limitof their output and employing
all the cigarmakers available. The out
put is very large in this section, and
would be still further increased if more

cigarmakers could be found. Advertise-
ments for cigarmakers stdl appear in the
newspapers.

The Winget .Machine Company, of this
city, is enjoying a large trade these days.
During the past few weeks laige orders
have been received for the Keystone
bunching machines and cigar molds.

(ieorge S. Schmidt has ^iven notice
through the newspapers that he will apply
to the ( Governor of Pennsylvania for a
charter on March 9 for an intended cor-
poration 10 he known as the (ilobe Cigar
and Tobacco Company, which will man-
ufacture and sell cigars, cheroots and
smoking and chewing tobac co. The in-
(orpor.i tors are Chailes A. Hayles, John
Shindler and Adam K. Bayles, are of
York.

John P. Huber, .in aged and well
known resident of York, died last Thurs-
day. He was 84 ye.irs of age. and prior
to the civil war was one of the laigest cigar
manufacturers in the State, his f.ictory
be ng located in Philadelphia. He met
with reverses in business and then took
up hib residence in York, where he resided
until his death. He was a member of
Concordia lodge, No 67, F"ree and Ac-
cepted Masons, of Philadelphia. His
only surviving daughter, Mrs. KUa Bailey,
resides in Phil.idelphia.

H. F. Kohler. the leading manufac-
turer of Nashville, reports business in a
flourishing condition. The only trouble
he now is experiencing is ihe lack of
cigarmakers. He has plenty of orders
on h.ind, but can't fill them fast enough
because of a lack of hands. During the
past week Mr. Kohler made a number of
big shipments of fine cigars to western
points.

George S. Mayer, of the firm of Jacob
A. M.iyer & Bro. , cigar manufacturers,
was elected chief burgess of the borough
of North York at the election Tuesday,
February 17. .Mr. Mayer was the candi-
date on the Democratic ticket, and de-
feated his opponent by a big majority.
That he is popular with the residents of
North York is pioved by the fact that
North York generally goes Republican.
Mr. Mayer was sereaaded on election
night after the vote was counted.

W. H. Raab. one of the leading cigar
manufacturers of Dallastown, has had
plans and specifications prepared for the
erection of a fine cottage home, to be
built in Dallastown. The new dwelling
will be one of the handsomest and most
conveniently arranged in lower York
county.

have been secured fiom new fields and
the demand for their gODds is larger than
ever. They manufacture everything in

far west as Nebraska and as far south as

twenty different brands and besides make
a number of private brands for le.iding
dealers in Reading and elsewheie. Their
latest brands are Old Dominion, Long

marks on the leading staple brands are
valuable for premiums.

Competition became so fierce that in a

THE STOLEN CIGAR CASE.
(Continued from p. 6.)
oven oat s)eeve, shaking the sleeve down
from the armhole to the cuff with his
deft fingers. "Come again sooni" he
said, clapping me on the back.

"At any :ind ;ill times," I said enthusi-
astically; "I only ask ten minutes twice
a day to eat a crust at my office, and four
hours sleep nt night, and the rest of my
time is devoted to you always, as you
know."

"It is indeed, " he said, with his im-
penetrable smile.

Nevertheless, I did not find him at
home when I next called. One after-
noon, when nearing my own home, I
met him in one of his favorite disguises,
— a long blue swallow-tailed coat, striped
cotton trousers, large turn-over collar,
blacked face, and white hat, carrying a
tambourine. Of course to others the
disguise was perfect, although it was
known to myself, and I passed him — ac-
cording to an old undei standing between
us — without the slightest recognition,
trusting to a later explanation. At an-
other time, as 1 was makinga professional
visit to the wife of a publican at the East
End, I saw him, in the disguise of a
broken-down artisan, looking into the
window of an adjacent pawnshop. I
was delighted to see that he was evidently
following my suggestions, and in my joy
I ventured to tip him a wink; it was
abstractedly returned.

Two days later I received a note ap-
pointing a meeting at his lodgings that
night. That meeting, alas! was the one
memorable occurrence of my life, and
the last meeting 1 ever had with Hem-
lock Jones! 1 will try to set it down
calmly, though my puhes still throb with
the recollection of it.

I found him standing before the fire,
with that look upon his face which I had
seen only once or twice in our acqua nt-
ance — a look which I may call an abso-
lute concatenation of inductive and
deductive ratiocmation- from which all
that was human, tender, or sympathetic
was absolutely discharged. He was
simply an icy algebraic symbol! Indeed,
his whole being was concenir.ited to that
extent that his clothes fitted loosely, and
his head was absolutely so much reduced
in size by his mental compression that
his hat tipped bac k from his forehead
and literally himg on his massive ears.

After I had entered he locked the doois,
fastened the windows, and even placed
a chair beft)re the chimney. As 1
watched these sgnificant precautions with
absorbing interest, he suddenly drew a
revolver and, presenting it to my temple,
said in low, icy tones;

"Hand over that cigar rase?"

Even in my bewilderment my reply
w.is truthful, spontaneous, and invol-
untary. "1 haven't got it," 1 said.

He smiled bitterly and threw down his
revolver. "1 expected that rcpl)! Then
let me now confront you with something

more awful, more deadly, more relenu
less and convincing than that mere lethal
weapon, — the damning induction and
deduction proofs of your guilt!" He
drew from his pocket a roll of paper and
a note-book.

"But surely," 1 gasped, "you are jok-
ing! You could not for a moment be-
lieve" —

"Silence! Sit down!" 1 «jbeyed.

"You have condemned yourself," he
went on pitilessly. 'Condemned your-
self on my processes,— processes familiar
to you, applauded by you, accepted by
you for years! We will go back to the
time when you first saw the cigar case.
Your expressions, " he said in cold, de-
liberate tones, consulting his paper,
"were, how beautiful! 1 wish it were
mine! This was your first step in crime
— and my first induction. From 'I wish
it were mine" to 'I will have it mine,'
and the mere detail, 'How can I make it
mine? the advance was obvious. Silence!
But as in my methods it was necessary
that there should be an overwhelming
inducement to the crime, that unholy
admiration of youis for the mere trinket
itself was not enough. You are a smoker
of cigars. "

"liur, " 1 burst out passionately, "I
told you I had given up smoking cigais."

"Fool!" he said coldly, "that is the sec-
ond time you have committed yourself
Of course you told me! What more natu-
ral than for you to bla/on forth that pre-
pared and unsolicited statement to pre-
vent accusation. Yet, as I said before,
even that wretched attempt to cover up
your tracks was not enough. 1 still had
to find that overwhelming impelling mo-
tive necessary to aflfect a man like you.
That motive 1 found in the strongest of
all impulses- love. 1 suppose you would
call it," he added bitteilv. "That night
you called ! you had brought the most
conclu-ive proofs of it on your sleeve."

••But—" I almost screamed.

"Silence!" he thundered, "l know
what you would say. You would say that
even if you had embraced some Young
l*er?on in a sealskin coat, what had that
to do with the robbery? Let me tell you,
then, that that sealskin coat represented
the quality and character of your fatal
entanglement' You bartered your honor
for it— that stolen cigar case was the pur-
ctiaser of the sealskin coat!

"Silence! Having thoroughly estab-
lished your motive, I now proceed to the
commission of the crime itself. Ordinary
peop'e would have begun with that - with
an attempt to discover the whereabouts
of the missing object. These are not my
methods.''

So overpowering was his penetration
that, although I knew myself innocent,
I licked my lips with avidity to hear the
further details of this lucid exposition of
my crime.

"You committed that theft the night 1
showed you the cigarcase, and after 1 had
carelessly thrown it in that drawer. You

were sitting in that chair, .inti I had arisen
to tike soniething from that slieif. In
that instant you secured your bo ty
without risinj(. Silencel Do you remem
ber when I helped you on with voir
overcoat the other night? I w.is p irticu'ar
about fitting your aim in. While doing
so I measured your arm w th a spring
tape me;isure, from the shoulder to the
cuff. A later vi-it to your tai'or c( n-
firmed that measurement. It proved to
be the exact dist.mce between your chaii
and that drawer:"

I sat stunned.

"The rest a e mere corroborative de
tails! You wee again tampering- with
the drawer when I discovered you doing
so! Do not start! The stranger that
blundered into the room with a muffler
on--wasmyselt ! Mote, I hid placed a
little soap on the diawer handles when 1
purposely left )Ou alone. The soap was
on your hand when I shook it at paning.
I softly (elt your pcickets, when you were
asleep, for further developments. I em-
braced jou when you left -that I might
feel if you had the cigarcase or any othei
article hidden on your body. This con-
I'irmed me in that belief that you had al-
ready disposed of it in the manner and
for the purpose I have shown you. As 1
still believed you capable of remoise and
confession, I twice allowed you to see I
was on your track; once in the garb of
an itinerant negto minstrel, and the sec-
ond time as a workman looking in the
window of the pawnshop where you
pledged your booty."

"Huf," I burst out, "that was one of
your suggestions- tD search the p.iwn-
shop!"

"Do you suppose 1 followed any of
your suggestions, the suggestions of a
thief.' On the contrary, they told me
what to avoid. "

••And I suppoj-e." I said biiteily. "you
have not even seanhed your draweis?"

"No," he -aid lalmly.

I was for the fiist time really vexed.
1 went to the neares-t drawer and pul'ed
it out sharply. It stuck as it had before,
leaving a pait of the drawer unopened.
By wotking it, however, I discovered
that it was mipeded by some obstacle
that had slipped to the upper put of the
drawer, and held it fast. Insetting my
hand, 1 pulled out the impeding objert.
It was the missing cigarcase! I turned
to him with a cry of joy.

Hut I was appalled at his expres>i()n.
A look of contempt w;is now added to his
acute, penetrating gaze. "I have been
mistaken,' he said slowly ; "I had not
allowetl (or your weakness and cowardice!
I thought too highly of you even in your
guilt! Hut I see now why you tampeied
with that drawer the other night. By some
inexplicable means — possibly another
theft — you took the cigarcase out of pawn
and, like a whipped hound, restored it to
me in this feeble, clumsy fashion, ^'ou

thought to deceive me, Hemh ck Jonesf
More. you. thought to destroy my infalli-
bility. I shall not summon the three
polKemtn who wait in the adjoining
room — hut out of sight forever! '

As 1 stood once more dazed and petri..
fied, he took me firmly by the ear and
le<l me into the hall, closing the door
behind him. This reopened presently,
wide enough to permit him to thrust out
my hat, oven oat, umb ella, and over-
shoes, and then closed against me foiever!

I never saw him ag.iin. I am bound
to say. however, that iherealter my busi-
ne s increased, I recovered much of my
old practice, and a few of my patients
recovered ,.lso. I became rich. I had a
biougham and a house in theWest End.
Hut I often wondered, pondering on that
wonderful man s penetration and insight,
if, in sonie lapse of consciousness, 1 had
not really stolen his cigarcase.

"THE TOBACCO WAR."

Article by Earl Mayo in Leslie's Monthly

— (Uoomy Future Predicted for

Retailer^.

"1 he Tobacco Trust: Its methods and
Success," is a subject discussed in the
March issue of Fiank Leslie" s Popular
Monthly by Earl Mayo, under the cap-
tion "The Tobicco War." Mr. Mayo's
article is. to an extent, a short biography
of J. H. Duke, the president of the l.irge
tobicco companies which seek to domi-
nate the tobacco trade of the world and
tends to place that gentleman in a favor-
able light as a capable c.iptain of in-
dustry. Mr. Ma\o gives a fair statement
of the c« nditions of trade now confront-
ing the independents, the retaileis and
the trust and predicts that "unless the
retaileis are able to stem the progress of
theretiil combination (i. e. , the United
Cigar Stores' Company) the result may
be the realiz ition of the prophecy attii-
buted to Mr. Duke." The "prophecy""
refeired to is said to have been made by
Mr. Duke when a young man. He
prophesied that jome day he would be
to the tobacco business what Kockefellcr
is to the oil business.

Mr. M.iyos article is interesting,
although it contains a few inauccurate
statements. .Many of his assertions will
not receive the endorsement of hundreds
ofthousands of cigar and tobacco retailers
the c ountry over, but as a timely con-
tribution upon a subject of deep interest
to the tobacco trade generally it will
doubtless be widely re.idand commented
upon.

The American Tobacco Company has
announced a February dividend aggre-
gating |i, 370,00a

The Axton- Hilton Tobacco Manufac-
turing Company, of Owensboro, Ky., will
open a branch factory at Louisville, Ky.,
with a capacity of 1.000,000 pounds.

"A GOOD CIGAR IS A SMOKE."

By Clarence S. Batt, of Simon Batt & Co.

Every fine cigar is as much the man
who is responsible for it as though it were
his child. Of cigars it may as truly be
said as of writing, that the cigar is the
man. Cigar manufactures are like writers
in one other particular, each appeals to
the public which is most congenial to
himself. The public to which the man-
ufacturers of the finer grades of cigars
appeal is necessarily restricted. This is
not because really fine cigars are enjoyed
only by a few but because the few can
afford them and the many can not.
Champagne is agreeable to every palate;
if it only were cheap enough it would be
as popular as beer.

I think the man who really enjoys a
fine cigar, and is able to tell you precisely
why he enjoys it, is the man in the
general audience to whom the manufac-
turer of such cigars directly addresses
himself, just as in theatres actors fre-
quently single out one auditor on whom
to ply all their arts, feeling that if ihey
can win his approval, that of the rest of
the public will follow as a matter of
course. The one smoker of pre emin-
ently good judgment leads the applause
and will carry with him an ever growing
number of his fellow smokeis. ft is true
that individual taste in the matter of ci

least instructed about is the filler of the
cigar, the inside of it namely, in short
that delectable, most important thing,

the SMOKF..

"A woman is only a woman,
But a good cigar is a smoke'"
sings Kipling, and the emphasis falls
very naturally in the last line upon the
adjective "good."

What is a good cigar anyway? That
which will please Tom may give Harry
katzenjammer. and there are always as
many Harrys as there are Toms in the
world. Therefore, it is wisest to stick to
Tom and let Harry buy wh.it he likes,
because he" 11 do that anyhow.

Men have such var>ing standards in
this matter of cigars. Some s>y they
smoke with their eyes, by which they
mean that they judge a cigar by its ap-
pearance, by the color of the smoke it
emits, by the brown of its wrapper, by
its shape or its size. Others say they
smoke with their ears; they hold the
cigars to their ear, pinch it delicately,
and if the faint rustling they hear is to
their liking they pronounce that cigar
good. A third class smokes with its
tongue; they allege that they can taste
not only the smoke but the flavor of the
tobacco as it touches their lips. A fourth

snu

gars is infinitely varied. There is, never- 1 class smokes with the sense of touch;
theless, a sufficient agreement among ' they pretend that their touch is so deli-

smokers to insure the selling popularity
of a brand, and the aim of modern man-
ufacturers is more and more to please
the average. There will always be pop-
ular shapes, sizes and colors. These do
not change with eccentric rapidity, or
suddenness. So far as shape and size
are concerned it doesn't really matter
how often these change, because com-
petent cigarmakers aie always to be had.
So far as colors are concerned it would
appear that light wrappers will always be
in demand. Fortunately for manufac-
turers the growing of tobacco under cloth
insures an unending supply of this kind
of leaf.

But shape, size and color of wrapper,
while they have each much to do with
pleasing the public do not, after all. con-
stitute the cigar. The workmanship of
the cigar is something about which the
smoking public appears to be thoroughly
well informed, but what the public is

rate they can tell instantly if a cigar is
right or not by its weight or the texture
of its wrapper. There remains the man
who judges the cigar by the sense of
smell. He too has his hobby. He is
the man who says he can enjoy a cigar
in the dark just as well as in the light.
These five men are all brothers; they are
the jury by whose verdict a brand falls
or is saved. But they are amiable and
not too difficult to please. When the
smoke hunger is on them, which happens
with most of them at least three times a
day, they buy their favorite brand with
regularity and enjoy every whiff of their
smoke as keenly as though they knew
exactly what the filler was made of.

The point of it all is that there is no
mystery about the filler in a good cigar
nowadays. Everybody connected with
the factory does his level best to give the
public the very best article in the way of
a filler that the market can supply.

The Tobacco World is the best of all Tobacco

A single contribution from any of these persons is
worth many times the cost of a year's 8U»)scnptU)ii.

8 During VM)'l the most striking novelty in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whi^h
began on January 1, with a chapter entitled "The
Truth Alwutthe Discovery of Tobacco, " contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald &
Bro , of New York, and now the presi<lent cf the
National Cigar Leaf Association , ende<l on December
24 with a chapter entitled '* The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester,
N. H. Each of the other fifly chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the "Comic
History of Tobacco by Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To
bicco" will be published in book form, handsomely
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and will
be sent to any address in the United States, Porto

VARIETIES OF THE TOBACCO PLArfT.

Hartford, Conn., Feb. 28, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man;

Please give me a list of the varieties
of the tobacco plant

Student FARMtiR.

ANSWER.

Following is a sufficiently compre-
hensive list for my correspondent's pur-
poses :

I. Nicotiana tabacum macrophylla
[latifolia, lattissima, gigantea] — Mary-
land tobacco.

Of this, there are two subspecies- (i)
Stalkless Maryland, of the following
varieties: (a) Nicotiana macrophylla
ovata short-leaved Maryland, produc-
ing a good smoking tobacco ;(b) Nicotiana
macrophylla longifolia-long-leaved Mary-
land, yielding a good smoking tobacco
and excellent wrappers for cigarettes;
(c) Nicotiana macrophylla pandurat
broad-leaved, or Ameisfort, much cj^i
vated in Germany and Holland, a
cropper, and especially adapted fi
manufacture of good snuff; (2)
Maryland, of the following variefts: (a)
Nicotiana macrophylla alata; (bV Nico-
tiana, macrophylla cordata— heart»shaped
Maryland, producing a very fine leaf,
from which probably the finest Turkish
is obtained. Cuban and Manila are
now attributed to this group.

H. Nicotiana tabacum augustifolia—
Virginian tobacco.

Of this, there are two sub-species—
(1) Stalkless Virginian of the following
varieties: (a) Nicotiana augustifolia acum-
inata—grown in Germany for snuff,
seldom for smoking; (b) Nicotiana au-
gustifolia lanceolata, affords snuff; (c)
Nicotiana augustifolia pendulifolia lati-
folia— broad-leaved Virginian, used
chiefly for snuff; (e) Nicotiana augusti-
folia undulata — wave-like Virgmian, ma-
tures quickly; (f) Nicotiana augustifolia
pandurata furnishes good leaves for
smoking, produces heavily, and is much
grown in Germany, and said to be grown
at the Fruth as "tempyki, " and highly
esteemed there. (2) Stalked Virginian,
of the following varieties: (a) Nicotiana
augustifolia alata; (b) Nicotiana augusti-
folia cordata — East Indian, producing
heavily in good soil, and well adapted

for snuff, but not for smoking. Latnkia
and Turkish are now accredited to Nico-
tiana tabacum.

III. Nicotiana rustica — Common,
Hungarian, or Turkish tobacco.

Of this, there are two varieties: (a)
Nicotiana rustica cordat.i— lar^^e-leaved
Hungarian, Brazilian, Turkish, Asiatic,
furnishing leaves for smoking; (b) Nico-
tiana rustica ovata — small-leaved Hun-
garian, affords fine aromatic leaves for
smoking, but the yield is small. Until
quite recently, Latakia, Turkish and
Mtinila tobaccos were referred to this
species; Latakia is now proved to belong
to Nicotiana tabacum, and Manila is
said to be absolutely identical with Cuban,
which latter is now ascribed to Nicotiana
tabacum macrophylla.

IV. Nicotiana crispa. — This species
is much grown in Syria, Calabria, and
Central Asia, and furnishes leaves for
the cigars of the Levant.

V. Nicotiana persica. — Hitherto sup-
posed to be a distinct species, affording
the Shiraz tobacco, but now proved to be
only a foim of Nicotiana tabacum.

VI. Nicotiana repanda. — A Mexican
plant, with small foliage. Long thought
to be a distinct species peculiar to Cuba,
but none such is now to be found in
Cuba, whether wild or cultivated, and
all the Cuban tobacco is now obtained
from Nicotiana tabacum macrophyllum.

Among the many other forms, inter-
esting only to the botanist or horticul-
turist, the piincipal are Nicotiana^pani-
culata, Nicotiana glutinosa, Nicotiana
glauca, attaining a height of 18 feet,
and Nicotiana clevelandii, exceedingly
strong, quite recently discovered in Cali-
fornia, and supposed to have been used
by the early natives of that country.

Thus the bulk of the best tobaccos of
the world is afforded by the old well-
known jIK^T I III III! Ill I tabacum.

2.035 CIGAR STORES IN NEW YORK.

New York, March i, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

To decide a bet, will you please state
whether there are more cigar stores prop,
erly so-called, in New York than in Lon-
don, or vice versa,

Charles Schaeper.

ANSWER.

The latest general directory of Greater
New York gives the names of 2,035 retail
tobacconists as doing business in New
York city, that is in the boroughs of
Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.
There are, of course, scores of thousands
of places which are not properly classifi-
able as retail tobacco stores where cigars
and tobacco are on sale at retail. The
total population of Greater New York in
1900 was 3.437,202. The total popula-
tion of London in 1901 was 4,536,063.
I am unable to say how many people
there are in London who are now doing
business as retail tobacconists, but I am
inclined to think they are fewer in num-
ber than their fellow retail tobacconists
in New York, because in 1854 when the
population of London was about 2,250,-
000 there were but 997 retail tobacconists
in the city. This is the number given in
Bohn's Pictorial Hand Book of London,
published in 1854.

The Medicine Man.

•IN VNION THER.E IS STRENGTH.

In many cities of the United States
where the associations of independent
retailers are seeking to increase their
membership so as to include even the
very smallest mem'iers of their trade,
they are met with a statement that the
president, vice president, executive
committee, or other officers of the associ-
ation are self-seeking, rich men.

"These officers, or some of them, " say
the grumblers, "are jobbers or owners of
a little chain of stores of their own who
want us small fellows to work with them
but who really care very little for us,"

The grumblers are entirely wrong, of
course. In every movement of this kind
it is the well-to-do who must do the lead-
ing and the obscure and struggling ones
must follow. If the grumblers would but
stop to think for a moment they would
see that the well-to-do men of whose
leadership they complain are deserving of
nothing but sympathy for the simple
reason that being well-to-do they have
much at stake. But not a single one of
them is rich enough to fight the battle
single handed. If their efforts are not
sustained with hearty goodwill and all the
time, by their smaller brethren all of
them, and including particularly the
small men will be overwhelmed in a
common ruin.

Shade grown tobacco was first raised
in Florida and was afterwards introduced
in Connecticut by employes of the United
States Department of Agriculture.

Care off the Store.
The opening of an unusually expen-
sively furnished and decorated retail ci-
gar store in New York city last week is
another straw tending to show that
modern cigar stores are more and more
to become "things of joy and a beauty
forever* ' — or at least they are to be bright,
neat and well-kept. The fittings and
furnishings alone of the new New York
store are said to have cost $150,000, a
sum of money thousands of merchants
would consider a small fortune if so
fortunate as to own it. While, of course,
few retail cigar dealers can afford to
spend any such sum on store fittings and
decorations, all dealers can afford, and
should spend some money in making
their places of business attractive and
bright. Modern shop keeping in all
lines of business is being conducted
along such lines and cigar and tobacco
dealers can ill afford to lag behind in the
procession.

While imitation is said to be the sin-
cercst flattery, it will do no retailer harm
to study the store and window displays
made by other merchants with the object
of securing hints and pointers therefrom
to be used in beautifying and decorating
his own store. One need not copy nor
imitate, but a happy combination of
other stores* good points and your own
original ideas is pretty sure to result in
a decided improvement to your store' s
appearance — and all agree that a bright,
well-kept store is more apt to secure
trade than the other sort.

The following points are mentioned as
worthy of consideration by retailers who
desire to keep their stores up-to-date so
far as attractiveness is concerned:

See that the glass of the street show-
windows and street doors is kept clean.
In stormy and changeable weather this
is very much of a task, but it should not
be neglected.

Banish dust from the show cases and
shelves. A polished and dusted show
case bespeaks business.

An unswept floor is an abomination ;

The ideal window display is not the , another, either by one test or another,
cramming of anything and everything ;ind the shrewd dealer who knows a thing
into a comparatively limited space. The I or two will steer clear of discussing this
eflfect is simply one of confusion and subject. It takes time and patience-
muddle. The window just tells every- i plenty of both — to switch a customer
one what they alreadyknow— that cigars, from one brand to another, and to ac-
tobacco, cigarettes, and pipes are sold \ complish it successfully is the highest
in the shop, but not one article comes point in true salesmanship. On occa-

Bates on Ci|ar Store Advertising.

A cigar dealer should advertise regu-
larly in the best daily paper or weekly
paper in his locality, says Charles Austin
Bates, the well-known New York adver
tising expert. He need not use a larg^
space, but he should change his matter
frequently. If it is possible he should
always use snappy illustrations. Cigar
store advertising will stand a bit of hu-
mor better than advertising in any other
line. It will even stand a little slang and
popular phrases for headlines that would
not do in any other line of business.
Just the same, the advertisements should
always be business-like, and tell a straight
plain story in a convincing way. They
should talk tobacco and cigars straight
from the shoulder. They should be ed-
ucative, so that when a man reads oneoi
them he feels, when he has finished, that
he has learned a new point about tobac-
co. All the good points of the store
should be brought out in this advertis-
ing; all the conveniences; all the advan-
tages. If there is a run on some special
brand of cigar, it is well to occasionally
state in the advertisements that the
dealer has that particular brand.

I do not believe in a cigar advertise-
ment that simply gives the name and
address of a store and devotes all the
balance of the space to advertising one
particular brand. That is really adver-
tising a particular brand of cigars, and
not advertising a particular cigar store.

A Bishop's Tobacco Pipe.
One of Melbourne's historic buildings.
Bishcpscourt. the official residence of the
Anglican prelate, is about to be demol-
ished and to give place to a more up to
date structure. In its garden is the old-
est gum tree in Australia, declared by the
late eminent botanist. Sir Ferdinand vol
Mueller, to date from the sixteenth cen-
tury. Under this old tree was the
favorite seat and open air study of Dr.
Moorhouse. now Bishop of Manchester,
during the ten years that he occupied the
See of Melbourne. A lady visitor having
once suggested that tobacco was of Sat-
anic origin. Bishop Moorhouse replied:
"Pardon me, madam, I smoke, and I am
a better Christiaan for doing so. Do you
read my letters in the papers?" The
lady answered that she did, with pleasure.
"Do you ever see anything discourteous
or unkind in them?" "Certainly not; I
often remark how well you keep your
temper. "Well, madam, the first drafts
of these letters contained the most cutting
things I could think of Then I wouki
go and sit on the butt of that old gum
tree, light my pipe and have a quiet
smoke. After that I would return to the
house and strike out every line that
might give pain to others. So you see
smoking makes me a better Christian."

Another Active Week in Havana.

Large Sales and Firm Prices — Decreasing Receipts of the Old Crop -Prospects
for 1903— Arrivals and Departures — Personal Notes. Etc

Havana, February 21. 1903.
A very active week has been the result | down as being defective in quality, color

of the six days transactions in the Havana
market, ending to-day, as 11,000 bales,
in round numbers, changed ownership
from first hands, and if re-sales were
taken into consideration, several thousand
more bales would have to be added
to the grand total. The buyeis for
the Spanish contractors were the heav-
iest dealers, taking fully 5,000 bales out
of the market, not counting the 2,000
bales which they acquired from a cigar-
ette factory; still, as they consisted of the
lowest grades, botes and third capaduras
of Remedies, these heavy sales exercised
very Httle influence upon the goods suit-
able for the American market. Purchases
made by the United States contingent
figure up 4,300 bales, chiefly first and
second capaduras of Remedios, including
about 800 bales of Vuelta Abajo fillers.
Havana manufacturers were also buyers
to the tune of 1 ,200 bales of Vuelta Abajo,
and France is said to have secured 500
bales of the latter class of goods. Prices
have ruled unchanged, favoring buyers
upon the lower grades, while choice par
eels could only be had by conceding to
the pretensions of sellers, owing to the
intrinsic value and the small stock on

and texture, as well as being short in
quantity. Now it is possible there may
be some parts of the growth undesirable
on account of spots and for other causes,
still it has yet to be seen how the tobacco
may act in the fermentation process in
the piles, and it may turn out better than
people imagine. Furthermore, as re-
gards quantity, with favorable growing
weather for another three or four weeks,
sometimes wonders have been worked,
and this mav be the case now.

From the Vuelta Abajo it can only be
said that the crop promises to be larger
in yield than last year, particularly as far
as the "lomas" or hilly tobacco is con-
cerned, while the "tierra llano" or low-
lands might not be more abundant. The
quality promises to be better as to fillers,
but wrappers may prove scarce, as they
did last year.

The growth of the plants in Remedios,
counting what was saved, is more favor-
able, and while no large crop may be
raised, there may be enough to satisfy
the lessened demand for this article.

Don Gregorio Falacio has already re-
ceived from the Vuelta Abajo about 80
bales of the 1903 crop, "libra de pie" or

hand. Several almacenistas have closed I ground leaves, in Havana, which, how-

their own packings having been sold
some time ago.

A. Blumenstiel has again started upon
a ten-days trip from here to Porto Rico,
and has bought heavily of leaf tobacco

DISASTROVS CINCINNATI FIRE.

Henry Straus' Cigar Store Among the

Properties Destroyed — Trade
Notes and Personals.

Cincinnati, O., March 2. 1903.
Cincinnati was visited with the most
disastrous fire at 1.30 a. m., Thursday,
February 26. in its history and for the
third time burning the Pike Opera House
Building. This fire is the first which
completely destroyed the historic theatre.
The fire started in the basement of the
Adams Express Company and burned
nearly the whole block of buildings from
Vine to Walnut on the south side of
Fourth street, through to Baker street.
The loss is estimated at about a million
and a half dollars with only about one-
third that amount covered in insurance.
Henry Straus' cigar store, located in the
Pike Building Block, and the most elab-
orate cigar store in the city, was one of
the stores completely destroyed. Loss
f75,ooo. Insurance ^46,000.

The growers of burley tobacco in the
State of Kentucky met a Lexington. Ky.,
Thursday, P'ebruary 26, to discuss the

for the control of the burley tobacco trade
in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. James
M. Gaune, of Carrollton, acted as chair-
man and C. M. Deane, of Carroll|county,
acted as secretary. Addresses were
made by W. B. Hawkins, organizer for
the state and John Botts. of Shelly
county. It is expected that almost all
of the growers of burley tobacco in the
three states will co operate.

packages a year and which are probably
consumed by 200,000 users of tobacco.
Stranger things have happened, and we

LANCAST£IL'S TOBACCO CROP.

Owing to its Greatness is Being Handled
with Difficulty— Manufacturers Busy.

Lancaster, Pa., March 3, 1903.
The delivery of the Lancaster county
tobacco crop last season is now being
made to the warehouses, and, in spite of
the small army of men, women and
children, who are preparing it for the
cigar manufacturers and for shipment, the
great crop is being handled with difficulty.
It is estimated that it has placed in the
hands of (he f trmers of I^ncaster county
about $1,500,000, and it is not claiming
too much to say that it brings these
farmers in more money than any other
single crop. It is the staple that has
made this the richest agricultural county
in the United States. Since 1890 fully
$60,000,000 has been brought into Lan-
caster county to pay for its tobacco crops,
and most of it has remained here, as very
little has been paid out for artificial fertil-
izers, the farmers securing most of their
fertilizers from the herds of Western
cattle fed for the Eastern markets. The
tobacco raised represents labor chiefly,
mostly of the farmers own family, so that

there is very little outlay of cash. The
average price for the crop now being
handled was 7 cents a pound. The finest
wrappers brought 20 cents on an average,
while a few perfect crops brought 25 cents.
One company purchased 15,000 cases,
paying about $240,000.

On a fair estimate the farmers can
make at least five times on an acre of to-
bacco what they can on wheat An acre
of tobacco in Lancaster county, in a
moderately fair year, brings about $112,
of which $62 is profit, the rest going for
labor and general expenses. In a good
year the profits are double that. Wheat,
even when there is a full crop, will not
yield more than $20 per acre, from which
must be deducted the cost of labor and
general manipulations, leaving not above
$10 or $12 profit

Trade in old tobaccos was remarkably
quiet the past week, sales in small scatter-
ing lots to manufacturers for immediate
consumption being the principal feature
among local jobbers The parking of
the 1902 crop is apparently receiving all
the attention at the present time.

Cigar manufacturers report no cessation
in the volume of business, and that trade
is moving merrily and steadily along.

A movement has been started at Stras-
burg for the establishment of a cigar fac-
tory that is to employ at the beginning
from fifty to seventy-five hands. A public
meeting will be held on Thursday next
to further the project

Revenue Collector Hershey has been
notified by the Revenue Commissioner
that the local office has been rated No. i,
on the recommendation of Revenue Agent
Davis who recently made an inspection.
He found that the records were neatly
kept and posted up-to-date and the cash
and stamp accounts were in balance.

B. F. Newswanger received a very
commendable letter from Senator Quay
last week, extolling the merits of the cigars
bearing the Senator's name and at the
same time commenting upon the improve-
ment in the appearance of the package
containing the Senator Quay cigars.

Julius Marqusee received considerable
1902 Wisconsin and York state tobacco
during the week, and also made several
heavy shipments of old leaf

The Hoffman Leaf Tobacco Co., of
Marietta, received immense quantities of
1902 Pennsylvania Havana and Seedleaf
the past week and are packing very ex-
tensively at their warehouses in Maytown
and Marietta.

Visitors in town during the past week
were: W. A. Oehler, representing N.
Gunther, of Cincinnati, Ohio; S. L
Goldberg, of New Yofk; H. S. Myers, of
Young & Newman, and S. S. Swartz, of
Loeb-Swartz Tobacco Co., both of Phila-
delphia.

THE TOBACCO WORLD 15

BUKEAU OF ThK rOBACCO WORLD, II BURLING SLIP.

All New York that smokes imported
cigars and everybody else who would
smoke them if ihey cou'd afford it. h.ts been
talking about an adveitiscment which ap-
peared in certain afternoon dailies on Feb.
25. The advertisement was inserted by
Acker, Meirall & Gondii, one of the arms
of the American Tobacco Compan) , offer-
ing the following imported brands at re-
(nil at wholesale price-: Cabanas, C.iro-
^0a, Eden, (iolden Kagle, Henry Clay,
Jntimidad, Manuel Garcia Alonso, Rosa
and Vencedora. The advertisement of
Feb. 25 is No. i of a promised series of
like offerings by Acker, Merrall & Con-
dit, details of which are to be announced
hereafter.

This is the first time that price cutting
on a large scale has taken place on im-
ported cigars. That Acker, Merrall &
Condit have been contemplating this step
is plain from their recent large impoita-
tions, the largest in the history cf this
long established house. Outside of
Acker, Merrall & Condit the leading New
York importeis of cigars aie the Waldoif-
Astoria Segar Co.. Park & Tilford, (i. S.
Nicholas, G. W. Faber and B, Wasser-
mann. These gentlemen will probably
meet the cut inaugurated by Acker, Mer-
rall & Condit. At least, G. S. Nicholas
says he will.

The cut is not at all to the liking of the
swell clubs of New York. These clubs
consume about 1 $ per cent, of all the < i-
gars that reach New York city from Ha-
vana. Some clubs buy about I30.000
worth of imported cigars every year, and
all clubs retail them to members at only
a fair margin of profit Not all of the
clubs are customers of Acker, Merrall &
Condit. Many of them buy their sup-
plies from other importers at prices some-
what higher than those announced by
Acker, Merrall & Condit in their adver-
tisement of Feb. 25. For instance, Gol
den Eagle obsequios, which Acker. Mer
rail & Condit offer at 11248 a thousand or
I24.80 a bundled, have usually been
bought by the clubs froin other importers
at I263, and have been retailed to club
members at 30 cents, and it is thought
that many smokers bearing in mind the
A. M. & C. price will hereafter refuse to
pay more than 25 cents apiece lor the
brand. It is predicted that one result
of this campaign of pi ice cutting will be
that the clubs will buy more cigars than
heretofore from the independent manu-
facturers of Havana, and that a second
result will be a greater demand at the
clubs for clear Havana cigars made in
the United States, bec.iuse the clubs can
realize a living profit from such cigars,
which is something they cannot do in
imported goods again -t this competition
of Acker, Merrall & Condit.

li

The only brand in the schedule of
Acker, Merrall & Condit of Feb. 25 not
manufactured by the trust is the Eden.

Among imported brands manufactured
by the independents of Havana which
enjoy a good sale in New York and
throughout the United States are the
Romeo y Julieta, of Rabell, Costa & Co.,
La Cruz Koja. Flor de Alma. Marques
de Rabell, La Lminencia, .Amor en
Sueno and Flor Extra Fina, of Rabell,
Cost I, Vales tS: Co. ; the H. Upmann, of
H. Upmann & Co. ; Sol and Luis M .x,
of Behrens & Co.; Hoys de Monterey;
La Dili^encia and others. ,

The Havana Tobacco Company has
not met the Acker. Mer. all & Condit cut
in its gorgeous new store at 26th street
and Broadway; an officer ol the corporation
says it will not meet it. The United
Ligar Stores Co has not only met the
cut but advertises imported cigars "one
or a thousand" at prices slightly under
the Acker, Merrall & Condit prices.

Lewis Cantor, of Leonard Friedman
& Co., and Sol Hamburger, of Hambur-
ger Bros. & Co., have returned from their
leaf bu)ing visit to Cuba.

Advices from Cuba are to theetfect that
the new crop of shade grown leaf from
the plantations of Don Luis Marx will be
ready for the market about June i. It is
already known that the quality of the new
crop as respects size, fineness of texture,
flavor and burn, is the finest ever grown
in Cuba.

The regular bimonthly meeting of the
Brooklyn branch of the Retail Cigar
Dealers' Association of Gi eater New-
York was held at Arcanum Hall on the
evening of Feb. 26. Secretary Houtain
read a rough draft of a circular to be ad-
dressed to small retailers urging them to
join the Association for protection against
the trust store competition, and advising
all retailers not to display trust goods or
trust show cards. The circular states that
all independent stores which have
adopted this method have succeeded in
selling an ever growing quantity of inde-
pendent goods. This was the plan
originally suggested by Charles L Fern-
berg, of Natural Aroma fame, and ex-
plained by him in the paper he wrote last
fall for the Tobacco World.

Robert K. Line, of the Executive Com-
mittee of the general Association, told
the Brooklynites of the proceedings at
the big meeting in Maennerchor Hall on
the evening of Feb. 24, which was at-

tended by fully 300 members. Mr. Lane
said that the capital stock of the incor-
porated .Association had been increased
from $25,000 to 550,000, and that the
Association had received offers of sub-
stantial aid from many responsible inde-
pendent m inufacturers.

Mr. Lane said that there is a possibility
that the Association would soon issue
coupons of value of its own. and further-
more, that it would redeem the coupons
issued by the trust. He said further th it
there ii also a possibility that the Asso-
ciation would go into the business of
manufacturing paper wrapped cigarettes.
He named several ccfncerns which are at
present engaged in cigarette manufactur-
ing, but he did not think it likely that
the Association would form an alliance
with any one of these. All these plans
are still in embryo, but a number of
Association members are working day
and night on these problems, and others
over something which will probably de-
velop soon. Mr. Lane si id that the
Association expects to have in the near
future a membership of nearly 5.000.

A nice question was raised by Secretary
Houtain: Mr. Lane had explained that
the seven directors of the Association
had subscribed among themselves for
too shares of the common stock of the
Association. 1 his was done for the pur-
pose of raising the fjCXJ in cash which
the law required the Association to have
on hand before starting in business. .Mr.
Houtain wanted to know if a member of
the Board of Directors could hold ten or
twenty shares why could not any member
own mo-e than one share of the common
stock .^ The constitution and by-laws pro
vide that members can hold but one
share each. Mr. Lane's answer was to
offer to sell nineteen of the twenty shares
for which he had subscribed under the
circumstances mentioned. The matter
was not concluded at the meeting of Feb.
26. The gist of the point raised by Mr.
Houtain is that no member should be
permitted to hold more than one share of
the common stock, in the spirit of the
constitution. Mr. Lane said he had been
greatly pleased that the point had been
raised. He said that he was so confident
of the future of the Association he would
be willing to make the Association a
present of his surplus nineteen shares;
this statement was greeted with applause.

Sam Moss called attention to the fact
that independent manufacturers are not
supplying needful show cards to the
small retailers who during recent weeks
hive been sending in increasingly large
orders.

*
The Union Cigar Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation of New York city at its meeting

' on the evening of March 2, addressed i
remonstrance to the Local Cigarmakers'
Union. The union manufacturers allege
that the union charges them from seven
to nine dollars and a half a thousand for
sizes and shapes which are uniformly
made in Binghamton at $6. If the griev-
ance of the manufacturers is not redressed
by the local unions they will bring the
matter to the attention of the general body
in charge.

Non- union cigarmakers in New York
city get from five to six dollars and a half
per thousand for the same class of work
for which union cigarmakers get from

seven to nine dollars and a half per
thousand.

« •

The details of the deal by which the
Hilson Company goes over to the trust
have come to light. It is said that the
trust has acquired 51 per cent of the
stock of the Hilson Company, thus gain-
ing control, and that Edward Hilson re-
tains 49 per cent It i: also said that
Mr. Hilson will continue as heretofore at
the head of affairs at the factory at 39th
street and First avenue.

Twelve strapping big sailors were
sentenced by Judge Thomas in the U.
S. Circuit Court on the morning of Feb-
ruary 28, to three months imprisonment
each for smuggling Sumatra tobacco from
steamships of the Hamburg Ame ican
line.

In asking the court to impose a heavy
sentence on the men Assistant U. S.
District Attorney Wise said: "Leniency
has proved a failure in three cases.
When the tobacco smuggling began we
were satisfied to let the sailors off with a
caution to discontinue their offences.
This treatment led to flagrant violations
of the customs law. The sailors did not
seem to feel the least gratitude for the
mercy shown them, and from every
vessel that arrived from Antwerp the in-
spectors would arrest four or five smug-
glers. The sailors would carry the to-
bacco beneath their garments. Each
man so laden would leave his ship at-
tended by a bodyguaid of two or three
iTien. At the approach of a customs in-
spector the guard would adopt football
tacMcs and keep the government agents
busy while the smuggler escaped to
cover. "

Judge Thomas is the same magistrate
who let Morgan Marshall, the lich box
stuffer off with nominal imprisonment
and a fine of |2,ooo. Truly, justice has
a heavy cudgel for offendeis who are
poverty stricken.

The Tobacco World,

Gentlemen : — We would thank you
to announce through the columns of
your esteemed publication that Messrs.
E. Regensburg & Sons desire to emphat-

The Otjen Bill Passes the House.

(Special to The Tobacco World.)

Washington, March 2, 1903,
The Otjen bill, prohibiting tobacco
manufacturers from giving prizes with
their products, has passed the House.

Anti-Blue Law Recommitted.

In the Pennsylvania Senate, on Mon-
day last, the Berkelbach Anti Blue Law
bill was recommitted for amendment
Senator Berkelbach said he intends to
include the opening of barber shops on
Sundays, and put in a provision that
cigar selling shall not be allowed in li-
censed saloons on Sundays. It is thought
that in its amended shape the bill will
have a better chance of being passed.

THE NEW VALENTINE F VCTORY.

ATobicco World reporter visited the
new A. Valentine & Son's cigar factory
on North Seventh street yesterday. The
building the f ictory occupies is of brick,
with all modern improvements and the
firm will occupy the second, third and
fourth floors. It is anticipated that the
finishing up of painting, etc., will be so
far completed by Friday next that the
actual work of mak'ng cigars can be
started. Superintendent Charles Hechler,
who was with the Sulzberger Oppen-
heimer factory for years, expects to start
the new Valentine factory by giving em-
ployment to not less than 250 hands.
This number will be gradually increised.
Mr. Valentine and his son have fiequently
run down from Womelsdorf to overlook
the fitting up of the new factory and will
most likely be present on ' 'opening day.
It is the intention of the firm to manu-
facture only high grade cigars at the
Philadelphia factory.
%^
PENN CO. HAS NEW HOME.

Saturday and Monday were very busy
days for the employes of the Penn To-
bacco Company. They were 'movmg
days" and all hinds turned in with
hearty good will and helped transfer the
company's large stock of tobacco and
cigars from South ^lixth street to the new
store room and quarters at 612 Market
street The change was eflfecled with
but little interference to regular business
and in a comparatively short time the
store room on the street floor presented
an orderly and business-like appearance.
It has been noticed and commented
upon that the trend of the larger tobacco
houses has been to move to Chestnut,
Market and Arch street. The leaf houses,
it goes without saying, are mostly on
Third street and will probably stick close
to that thoroughfare for many days.

AT THE NEUMANN FACTORY.

Sigmund C. Mayer, the genial secretary
of the Morris D. Neumann & Co. cigar
house returned home Monday morning
from a Southern trip. At Memphis and
other points Mr. Mayer found business
in good shape and secured his share of
orders.

Morris D. Neumann is on the way
home from his Western trip and will
reach Philadelphia on or about March
15. He was at Seattle and other Pacific
coast points recently and as usual received
the "glad hand* and a good bookful of
orders.

While not rushed, the Neumann fac-
tory is running steadily and the members
of the firm have no complaint to make.

HUB STO R i: A S U CC ESS.

Joseph G. Vetteilein, of the Veiterlein
Bros.' factory, is well pleaded with the
firm's branch retail store at lioston, which
has "caught on"— as the saying goes,
and is doing a good business. A. Bird
Wilson is manager in charge and he is
homing sales of the Sabaroso cigar- as
well as the other products of the factory,
with pronounced success. The Boston
cigar store of Vetterlein Bros, is centrally
located and admirably furnished and
has met with favor at the hands of a
Urge number ol Hub smokers.

QUAKER GIRL To BE EXPLOITED.

J. S. (}ellers* Sons & Co. have con-
tracted with William Diebcl.the inventor,
for 3 000 of the latters rigar vending
machme. Mr. Diebels machine which
has already been described in The To-
bacco World, is a remarkable piece of
! mechanism. When a nickel is placed
I in the slot provided for the purpose, the
j machine automatically ejects a cigar and
I also a match. The machine cannot be
j robbed, it refuses to eject a cigar when
i counterfeit coin, slugs, etc.. are put in
' the slot.

Gellers' Sons & Co. have secured ex-
clusive rights to use the machine in Phil-
adelphia and as noted they will place
3,000 of them in use. They will use
the machines to exploit their popular
5 -cent cigar, the (Quaker Girl.
i Business has so increased with the
Geller house in the past few months that
two additional salesmen have been taken
on, one of whom James McKeever, will
look after Philadelphia trade. Mr.
Weser, the genial manager of the house,
is in New York this week, attending to
arrangements for increasing the sale of
goods in that city.

A S20 PRESENT.

Moore s branch retail cigar store at
Second and Market streets is out with a
new kink in the gift and advertising line.
Neatly framed in the window is a sign
and twenty dollar bill. The sign bears
the notice that the bill will be given
away April i to the trial customer who
guesses nearest the number of the |2o
note. The number of the bill is care-
fully hid from view by a strip of black
court plaster, (^uite naturally the offer
is attracting much attention.

PRINCELY HUMOR.

"Anything new today?" queried a To
bacco World representative Monday as
he entered the Aich street office of Louis
Bythiner & Co., tobacco brokers.

"Yes," answered Mr. J. Piince of the
firm, "You'll notice it on the door"

And it was on the door -also the doors
and entire store front - a fine coat of ap-
propriate paint which adds much to the
street appearance of the office.

A WELCOME INCREASE OF WAGES

Last week John N. Kolb, of the Theo-
bald & Oppenheimer Co., announced an
increase in wages of 50 cents a thousand
on all cigars manufactured at the com-
pany'sTrumbaueisville and Quakerstown
t.ictories. The employes are much
pleased with the new scale.

«^
NEW CIGAR STORE PROPRIETOR.

Julius Fox, foimerly in the tobacco
leaf business at L^incaster, has purchased
the cigar business of I). L Leahy. 29
North Juniper street. He intends to
make a specialty of the popular goods of
S. R. Moss, of Lancaster.

FINE DISPLAY WINDOWS.

Fauth & Ogdens store at Thiid and
Market streets is fortunate in having a
number of large show windows, facing
both Market and Third streets. The
windows are always artistically dressed

with displays of the firm's popular cigars
as well as plug and smoking tobaccos and
smokers' materials. Something out of the
common is also to be found in one of the
windows in the way of cigarmaking
m ichinery and tools, of which the firm
acts as selling agents.

MOVED TO LARGER QUARTERS.

Parham & Duff have moved from 1 1 1
Market street to new and larger quarteSt
at 48 North Eleventh street. The P.
D. factory has kept busy and this too, on
top of an unusually good holiday busi-
ness. They continue to uphold the
reputation of good Philadelphia made
cigars. Another change has been made
by the firm which will prove of interest
10 the trade. Their factory at Pottstown
has been moved to more commodious
quarters at 129 York street.

MR. POPPER RETIRES.

\ change has taken place in the firm
of Popper, Doddy and Jourdan. Norbert
Popper has retired from the firm, which
hereafter will do business under the name
of Doddy, Jourdan & Co. Mr. Popper's
interests were purchased by the other
members of the firm and the manufacture
of the popular Spiro cigar will go on as
usual.

I Matters appertaining to the securing of
j lumber suitable for the manufacture of
' cigar boxes, cost of boxes, and other
I questions of immediate interest to the
trade were discussed at the convention.

OBITUARY.

During the past ten days death has
entered the homes of several tobacco
tradesmen and carried off men more or
less known to the trade.

Henry Reichard died at West Bethlehem
last week, aged 72. He had been in the
tobacco business for years.

John Karmrodt, aged 46, died at
Sellersville Feb. 22. He was a member

same date.

William C. Krammerer, aged 48, died
Feb. 21, at his late residence, 140 West
Girard avenue. He was engaged in the
tobacco business for years and was a
member of the Heimgaetner Club.

John Grebinger,aged 55, a well known
cigar manufacturer at Millersville, Pa.,
died suddenly Feb. 25 from heart trouble.

MOSTLY PERSONAL.

TO WAR ON CIGARETTES.

The Business Men's Association of
Germantown held a meeting at Vernon
Hall last Monday evening and discussed
the question of the enforcement of the law
relating to the sale of cigarettes to boys
under 16 years of age. The call for the
meeting came as the result of complaints
made by many Germantown women who
Slid that their boys were under 16 years
of age, yet were able to buy cigarettes at
almost every cigar store in that section of
the city. Jacob C. Bockius, president of
the assm iation, said in reference to the
matter. "We have lawyers at work now-
preparing plans for us. and we have
recjuested several prominent physicians
to be present at our meetings to point out
the evil consequences attend. mt on cigar-
ette smoking in general and smoking by
boys in particular."

The association will presumably seek
to put a stop to the unlawful selling of
cigarettes to minors by legal means.

CIGAR B0.\ MAKERS CONVENTION
As noted in la>t week' s Tobacco World
the fourth annual convention of the
Eastern Cigar Box Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation was held at the Hanover Hotel.
Philadelphia, Wednesday and Thursday,
Feb. 25 and 26. While the convention
was not as largely attended as on former
occasions a deep interest was taken in
the proceedings.

President H. H. Sheip, of Philadelphia,
welcomed the delegates, af er which the
officers' reports were read and referred.
All of the old officers of the association
were re-elected with the exception of L
P. Walter, who was on the director^hip
board. He was succeeded by A. Thal-
heimer. of Reading. The officers thus
re-elected are: President, H. H. Sheip,
Philadelphia; vice president, C. E.
Howell. Elmira. N. Y. ; second vice
president, G. J. Allen, Richmond. Va. ;
sect etaiy treasurer, E. H. Defebaugh,
Louisville, Ky.

Joseph E. Tuck was an Atlantic City
visitor last week.

S. M. Newburger is home after a suc-
cessful Western trip.

H. S- Moorhead is home from Havana
— and may go to Amsterdam.

Sol Loeb.of the Loeb-Swartr Company,
left for Havana last Saturday, to be gone
two or more weeks.

J. M. Kolb, of Theobald & Oppen-
heimer, leaves for the Amsterdam in-
scriptions next week .

Leopold Loeb may go to Amsterdam to
be at the inscription but has not decided
just when he will start.

On account of the West End Trust Co.
having arranged to etect an addition to
their building, Robert Klee has closed
his branch retail store. 1404 Sou'.h Penn
Square.

Emile De Ritter, of De Ritter 2ro8.,
Antwerp, was in Philadelphia this week.
He was accomi anied by the eldest son
of Leopold Ix)eb \\- th gt-ntlemen will
return to Antwerp some time next week.

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET

While reports differ as to the condition
of the leaf tobacco market, some dealers
believing it to have been dull, the general
opinion is that it has been moving along
fairly good during the past week. Old
goods are getting scarcer every day and
prices remain firm. The scaicity of good
binders is causing some anxiety and those
offered are taken up quickly.

A fair amount of business has been
done in Sumatra. There was not much
doing in Havana and the transactions
which did take place were small. How-
ever, the future is fairly bright with good
prospects.

Exports.

Losers — Serious Explosion in

Reading Factory.

Retding, Pa., Feb. 28, 1903.
The cigar fictory of C. M. Yctter.
located on Church street. Mohnsville.
Beiks Co., w.is totally destroyed by fire
last Friday. The flames were discoveied
about 3.45 a. in. A few minutes before
Mr. Yetter heard a reuort. similar to thai
resulting irom the explosion of dynamite.
Res-iden's within a r.idius of two squares
also heird the noise, ;ind >.ome say their
houses shook. Soon people were run-
ning t«»ward the Yetter cig.ir factory, from
which smoke was issuing and one hour
later the factor) was in rums. The buihi-
ing was a twostory frame structure, 30X
40 feel. The old p irt was two stories in
height, having a pitched roof. An ad-
dition, built some time ago, was three
stories high. A plug stream was played
on the flames, but without avail and only
a few articles were saved. An effort was
made to remove the safe. A one and
one-half story frame structure. 12x20
feet, on the rear of Dr. H H, Millers
lot. occupied as a cigar f ict'iry by Samuel
Frankhouser, was al«o destioyed. In-
cendi.irism is strongly suspected. A
stranger, who had the appearance of a
tramp, applied for tobac( o at the Yetter
factory Thursday afternoon The plice
was so busy at the time that no attention
was paid to him and it is alleged, that
after he left the building he surveyed
the factory .«nd loitered in the neighbor
hood. Nothing was seen of him after
that.

Following what has been his custom.
Mr. Yetter went through the factory
building after closmg time of the day
of the fire to secure the doors and win-
dows. He then fixed the heater for the
night. There was no sign of fire when
he made the inspection. The heater

was at the oppo>ite end of the f.<ctory
where the blaze started, thereby deepen-
ing the mystery. The safe w,»s not
tampered with and the contents were
not damaged, barring a little scorching.
Forty-five cigar makeis and fifteen other
employts .>re thrown out of work. The
factory was established by Mr. Yetter
about four years ;tgo. The loss is esti-
mated at $15,000. There was a lot of
leif tobacco in the building besides 80,-
000 unstamped cigars and 50 000 stamped
ones. All were destioyed. There is I750
insui.mce on the buildmg, and about
16.500 on stock. Mr. Yetter has not yet
decided whether he will rebuild. The
c Mirta<;ration is qu te a loss to the com-
munity. Mr. Yetter's loss on leaf to-
bacco alone is about $4,000. This is
his busy season. Deputy Collector F.
\V. Cran-ton is adjusting matters.

A serious explosion took place last
Thjrsday afternoon at the factory of the
Taylor Hros. ' Tobacco Company, Car-
penter and Cherry streets. The factory
is heated by steam furnished by the
<- entral Foundry and Machine Company,
across the street. Owing to some defect
in the heating apparatus, the pressure
of the steam became so high as to com-
pletely burst a radiator on the second
floor of the tobacco factoiy. There was
a loud report, followed by violent hissing
of steam and the employes, terror str cken,
fled to the roof of the building. After
the pressute of the steam was lelievcd
water begm to pour out of the burstcd
radiator, flooding the second and first
floors and filling the cellar. The room,
whicl> is 40x60 feet on the second floor,
w IS filled with employes during the ex-
citement and the hot water flew across
the room sti iking several employes in
the face and body. The injured were:
Mame George, K«»ther Dorward and
Elizabeth Eisenbise. None of them were
injured seriously, but they had narrow
escapes. The damage is estimated at
over I500.

SUMATRA SEIZED IN BOSTON.

A conversation about buying tob.^cco
cheaply, ovei heard in a hotel office in
Boston by a U. S. Special Treasury
agent, resulted in the ^eizure of 600
pounds of smuggled Sum.itra.

No arrests were made, as of the three
men found in a house in which were
stored eight bales of the Sumatra, two
proved that they were without knowledge
of the fact that the tobacco had been
smuggled, and the third showed the
officers that he simply provided storage
room for it.

PARTY FEELING AT YOKK

Ran High Over I. R. Stamp Clerkship —

M.atingly & Co. to Buil.i New

Warehouse — Trade .\otes.

York, Pa., .Mirch 2. 1903.
A recognized improvementover the old
method of visiting county trade is the
street lailway system, which daily c.irries
numbers of salesmen to the several parts
of the county, and at this season of bad
loads this impn»vement is especially
appieciated.

Local pa.ty feeling has manifested
itself in the sh.tpe of numeious petitions
and requests for the position ot stamp
clerk or outside deputy at the Internal
Revenue Office, There were so many
requests that Collector Hershey, of Lan-
caster, Pa., cau^ed to be inserted in the
city p ipers notices to the effect that "alj
appointments were selected." Later
announcements confirmed the report that
the parties previ(>usly reported in these
columns had been appointed.

Geo. G.ible. of Windsor, Pa., is as
busy as usual manufacturing; it seems
an appreciative trade recognizing good
( ombinations and timely brands, dupli
caies orders and the result is a busy
fa< tory.

It is estimated that through the failure
of JefTeries & Son, New York cigar
dealeis, York county manufacturers are
affected to the amount of about f 10,000.
H. C. Schultz. of Hellam, who recently
failed, has been arrested for issuing false
p.iper and is charged with forgery in the
indictment.

Several parties having claims against
Harry Meads, manufacturer, of Ked Lon,
have levied upon his personal property
and closed his factory accordingly, until
the day of sale. York funis aie among
the creditors.

The principal brands of Amos Druck,
of York, are meeting with so much success
that his factory force is overtaxed at
present

Emanuel Sechrist. of Dallastown, is
now fairly established in his new quarters,
and reports the usual amount of good
trade.

Geo. Wert, of Dallastown, will open a
union factory in York about April i in
the factory now occupied by J. Geo.
Schreider. Mr. Wert has made arranjje
ments for the disposal of a large quantitv
of union goods and no doubt will operate
a large factory.

C. E. Maltingly & Co., of McSherrys
town, Pa., in order to have better facilities
for handling their stock, will eiect a stock
warehouse at once for this purjiose. The
firm have a great many ordeis for goods
to be filled shortly and contemplate secur-
ing more workmen to enable them to fill
orders more promptly.

The large factory under erection in
Hanover by Lewis PfafT, Jr., will be
completed soon. The factory is to be a
union shop and a number of hands will
be employed.

Chas. Weston, expert pool player, gave
two exhibitions of the art at the cigar
store of Young & Husser in the Square,
Wednesday and Thuisday evenings to
large crowds.

Edw. Neiman, of Thomasville, is very
busy filling an order for fifty cases of
cigars lately received. In this case as
with many others the scarcity of workmen
handicaps the output considerably.

Gillen & Granat report the sale of 175
cases of Seed Hs this week as well as
several shipments of Connecticut. Mr.
Granat returned this week from a business
trip to Reading, Pa.

Chas. Busby, formerly a manufacturer
of cigars in McSherrystown, Pa., has been
visiting the trade for some time past in
the interests of the above firm.

Visitors, as well as local contemporaries,
unite in pronouncing J. H. Stiles' ware-
house the most commodious and up-to-
<late tobacco building in the state.

Fred Block, of the firm of Chas. R.
Goldsmith & Co., New York, was a
visitor in the city on Saturday and con-
siders this, his first commercial visit here,
»s entirely satisfactory.

The initial visit of W. A. Oehler,
salesman for N. Gunter. Cincinnati, O.,
^as likewise considered as time well

spent with a busy cigar manufacturing
coniniunily.

Other visitors to the city were: Joseph
Haas of the Lebanon Leaf Tobacco Co. ,
of Lebanon, O. ; Theo. Hyxbee, with J.
Cohn & Co., and Fred Bowers, label
s ilesman, with L. E. Newman & Co.,
both of New York.

TKISCO TRADE STEADY.

Number of New Deals On — Tiade Notes
and Per^onals of Interest.

San Francisco, Feb. 24, 1903.

The present condition of trade is quiet.
The weaiher has again become favorable
to the letailers and the days are like those
of spring: but about all that the various
deileis can repoit is a steady quiet
Inisir.ess. Shipments of leaf tobacco and
cigars are beginnmg to airive after the
delay caused by eastern storms and pros-
pects aie so favorable for an unusual
season to come that all buyers who have
been east are placing big orders forgoods.

The Pacific Coast territory is now en-
joying a number of new deals with pros-
pects for more to follow. The John
Bollman Company, manufacturers of
cigarettes and tobacco, is oflfeiing too
Imperiales cigarettes free wiih each 1,000
Sultan cigarettes. March 1 M. A. Gunst
& Co., will offer a new deal of fifty
Aithur Conchas free with 500 Owl cigars
and fifty Arthur Conchas and fifty Arthur
Caballeros in new style package with
1,000 Owls. Rinaldo Bros. & Co. are
making a big hit on their new Tom
Keene deal. J. M. Gamble. Pacific
Coast agent for the Continental Tobacco
Company, says that that company will
withdraw its certificate-of-value offer for
each 500 Cubanola cigars after Feb. 28.

L A. Sawyer, Pacific Coast reprcsenta-
tive of the Los Dos Naciones Cigar
Company, has been out in the interior
of the state where he has stirred up a
big business. He will return to-night.

A. Ehrman, of Ehrman Bros. &. Co.,
wholesalers, has returned from his
Alameda county trip. Lex Ehrman has
left on a short ti ip to Nevada City. I. L '
Hess, traveling representative of the
company, has left for a trip through the
San Joaquin Valley and coast points. S.
I. Blake has returned from his trip to
Hollister and other southern points.

E. L. Allenberg, in the tobacco depart-
ment of the Johnson- Lock Mercantile
Company, reports an increase of 25 per
cent, in the sales for this month over
those ot the same month last year and '
believes that the record will continue.
Milton Glass, who has been down in the
Salinas Valley has been doing a big
business. He will return next week.

The following is a literal copy of a
letter received by a large leaf house, the
other day from one of its salesmen,
names of per.>-ons and places only omitted.

"I found at home all right. But

could not do a thing with him. The
octopus is hurting him badly by starting
its factory here. When they first started
up they laised the price of labor $2 per

thousand, and got over one half of 's

force. Last week the octopus raised the
price another 50 cents with the result

that is not able to fill his orders.

He sa)s business is good but that he
cannot ^tand the raise in price of labor.
Today (Saturday) the octopus factory
takes all its employes to the matinee, and
every noon they are given some kind of
an entertainment. To top it all, any girl
working for the octopus who brings

another girl from s factory gets a

gold ring and the new girl gets a box ol
bon-bons, so you can see the octopus is
making it interesting for .

• 'As all the cigar factory labor in this
neck of the woods has heretofore been

employed by he has had to break

them ail in. As matters now stand no-
body knows just what the outcome will
be. Not only is the octopus paying top
prices but it is satisfied with any kind
of work. I went up in the factory with
and heard his foreman call a girl

down for not cutting her wrappers close
enough and she quit on the spot saying
her sister had been 700 short at the octo-
pus factory last week and there was no
kick. The object of the octopus is plain
enough. It remains to be seen whether
it will succetd."

NOT ENOUGH SHOW CAKDS.

Retail cigar dealers in sympathy with
the anti-trust movement aie complaining
that the independent m.inufacturers of
cigars and other tobacco products do not
supply them with sufficient show cards or
other advertising matter. The manufac-
turers, on the other hand, allege that if
the retailers insist upon getting goods at
prices lovver than the prices for trust
goods they cannot afford togiveexpensive
show cards with their merchandise. The
m;irgin of profit, they say, is too small to
permit the extravagance. If, however,
I the goods of the independent manufac-
turers get a steady following by and by
this condition will change and the cig.tr
stores of the independent retailers will
have their walls adorned with many a
handsome show card that is now wanting

to them.

Some independent manufacturers com-
plain that although they do supply their
customers with show cards costing as high
as |8o a thousand in lots of 5,000 the
dealers throw them behind the counter or
out into the'vard.

This matter is really worthy of great

attention especially as the so-called "tmst
stores" adopt every conceivable method
to make their premises attractive.

GENERAL NOTES.

There evidently is more old leaf moving
than dealeis willingly report. We learn
the sales of a single dealer for the month
so far exceed 700CS.

The work of receiving the new crop
goes steadily on keeping in advance of
the warehouse needs. It is believed
something better than half the crop is
now already cased.

Shipments, 500 cases. — Reporter.

CLARKSVILLE. TENN.
M. H. Clark & Bro.

Our receipts this week were 878 hhds;
offerings on the breaks were 64 hhds;
sales 50 hhds.

The qualities offering on the breaks
continue mainly of the lower grades of
leaf of rather poor quality, very few lugs
appe ir.

The market showed no marked change.

The loose tobacco season draws to a

close as the ownership of perhaps ninety

per cent of the crop has passed out of

i , ' r , . , , , I planters liand«.

It seems as though this would be I *^

The weather his moderated and the

thaw leaves the roads in very bad condi-
tion. Plant beds are prepared as the
weather permits.

Taylor Bros. Tobacco Qo.
""•'•^tl^FX''"'": READING, PA.

CONNKCTICrT VALLEY.
Sales appear to be quite scattered as
well as of low values, provided we judge
of the quality by the prices paid for it by
the speculators. When growers are really
panic-stricken for fear that they should
not be able to sell, binder prices, as well
as filler rates, often enable these sharks
to secure many finf; ciops. There ap
pears onlyone way toavoid this condition,
and that is, for the growers ol each tobacco
town to organize a co-operative associa-
tion. Then erect a spacious warehouse
wheie the tobacco can be assoited,
packed and sweated, and held for sale by
thejti^ociety'sl^officials. ^The pres-ident
should meet the conventions of the other
towns and arrange all matters pertaining
to the association, including the appraisal
of each man' s crop, giving a certificate of
its value. The banks are said to be
willing to advance sixty per rent, on the
crop

better than to form a corporation, and as
a piomoter of the plan says, it might
return at least ten per cent, dividend.
But does not this last feature look too
much like skinning the poor growers ?
Our correspondents write:
Vernon, Vt. : "I have no new sales to
repoit. J. E Hubbard and B. A. Statton
are having their tob ceo assorted. Buyers
are in town, but are only offering filler
prices, and the farmers are refusing to
sell at prices offered. It is safe to say
that one-third less acreage will be raised
in town this yeir."

Montague: "Buyers have been in town,
but I hear of no sales. A. M. Lyman
declined an offer of 12c for his fine crop.
There is much enthusiasm over the pro-
posed co-operative organization in the
valley." — American Cultivator.

The Tobacco World has been saying ^^^^^ which, in Cuba, is al nost entirely
for over a year now that there would be controlled bv the Tobacco Trust Dur

the world of which he is the central sun
as a man who never has time for any-
thing but "jusiness." It's 'business"
in his office from nine in the morning
until late in the evening, but only office
business, that is, business connected
with the sale of his cigars. Into his
factory he never has intruded; he leaves
that to competent subordinates.

Yet when the great strike came it was
this most able man who organized and
conducted the defense, and it is history
that he conducted it to a successful issue.
The fight lasted nearly one whole year.
It was the first time in the large city

XI —Why the Boss Wsisix't Told.

It looked for a long time as if the girls
would stick it out. thus aiding the cause
of their employers. But one never-to-be
forgotten afternoon at two o'clock, when
everything was seemingly peaceful in the
factory, and when the boss was entertain-
ing a group of important Western
customers there was a sudden sound as
of many people coming down the stairs.
They came down in so leisurely a fashion
it was plain no panic had started them
on a ru-h. and as the boss gazed at them
out of his office windows on the street
floor he realized that the girls were at
last quilting their work. As the last girl
turned the corner on her way home he
sent for his superintendent and demanded
to know what it all meant.

"They've struck.' ' answered the super-
intendent.

•But what did they strike for?' " asked

the boss.

"Search me." answered the superin-
tendent; "they just put on their things
and walked out."

"Didn't you tell them to send a com
mittee to me to let me know what their

kick was?"

"Sure I did," answered the superin-
tendent, "but they'll never do that."
"Why not?"
"Because they're afraid of you."

• 'Afraid of me?' '
"Yes. afraid of you. I've heard them

talking about you and they say you're
too great a gentleman for poor working
girls to come to. You're so far above
them they wouldn't know how to talk to
you. The bravest girl in the factory
would turn pale if you looked at her."

• 'The idiots:" said the greit industrial
lord. "I never spoke a harsh wo d to
any living human being in my life. It s
a fine reward for all my years of labor in
this field to have the reputaion of a
bulldozer in my own factory. But since
the girls have gone they may stay away
for all I care." ' and he returned to his
office to resume his interrupted conversa-
tion with his out-of town guests.

The girls did not come back until the
strike was declared off. several months
late . and they were glad to return to the
service of the employer whose heart they
understand so imperfectly, just because
he is so constantly absorbed with greater
matters that he has no time for the man-
ufacturing end of his business.

Hrnry C. McMamus,

Secretary and Treasurer.

The subscription price to The Tobacco World
has been reduced, and is now only |1.00 per year.
It is the fit»t and only tobacco paper in the
world, published weekly at One Dollar the year.

Subscnjtions are payable Invariably In ad-
vance, and remittances may be made by bank
check, post office money order, or in postegc
stamps I'oreign rates are |2.00 per annum.

The Tobacco World is the best of all Tobacco
Papers because:

1 . It is conducted by men whose technical knowl-
edge of every branch of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, and whose
pergonal acquainUnoe in the trade is most extensive.

2. The Tobacco World treats all questions and all
individuals and corporations with absolute fairness.

3. The Tobacco World voices the sentiments of
the trade and all its branches on all public questions.

4. The Tobacco World is always the first to

give the news. _ ^ „, .^

5. The circulation of The Tobacco World is so
large that its advertising patrons may confidently
count upon returns.

6. The Tobacco World's advertising rates are
always reasonable, and correspondence on this
snbject is solicited from the trade.

• 7. The Tobacco World numbers among its
volunteer contributors the best informed and most
widely known and influential members of the trade
in the United States, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the
Philippines, in Mexico and Central America, in
South America, in Europe, in Indiaaud lu Australia.
A single contribution from any of these persons is
worth many times the cost of a year's subscriptioii.
8 During 19<)2 the most striking novelty m The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whi'-h
began on January 1, with a chapter entitled "The
Truth Aboutthe Discovery of Tobacco, " contrihuted

by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosen wald &
Bro , of New York, and now the president of the
National Cigar Leaf Association . ended on December
24 with a chapter entitled "The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known oi^ar manufacturer of Manchester.
N. H. Each of the other fifty chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the " Comic
History of Tobacco bv Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' The Comic History of To
bicco*' will be published in book form, handsomelv
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and will
1)0 sent to any address in the Unite<l States, Porto
Rico or the Philippines on receipt of |1.00. postage
prepaid. Two dollars will pav for an annual sub-
scription to The Tobacco World and for the ' 'Comic
H istor y of Tobacco . "

J. The Medicine Man. trusted and beloved bv all
readers of The Tobacco World, will continue
throughout 1903 to pour out the treasures of his
learning and the geniality of his unfailing good
humor for the benefit of his friends among the pale-
faces. A year under the instruction of the Me<licine
Man is a li )ernl education.

10. If you wnnt a tenth reason for enrolling your
name on The Tobacco World's subscription li«t
look into your own heart and ask yourself this
question : " Why should not I lead what all my
brothers iti the trade are reading each week with
delight and profit, in order that I may l)e as well

CICAILMAKING IN THE BOOKS.

At the request of a subscriber in Balti-
more I subjoin a description of cigar-

present time it is claimed that about one-
fifth of the cigars made in the United
States are rolled upon it. Many of the
cheap cigars are made in the larger
factories, either throughout or in part,
by machinery. One of the most useful
and most common is the stripping ma-
making from Kdlebrew & Myrick's book ; ^hine, which contains a small round
on Tobacco Leaf. It is not as complete ! kpifg ^j^at cuts the stem out clean, with-

when they are moistened, and also ofter
treated with a flavoring preparation.

PREPARING FOR WORK.— The
woikman sits at a table, which contains
a drawer for waste, and on which is
placed a rack for holding the cigars he
makes; he has also, attached to his table,
a "board" of some haid material, on
which he tolls his cigars, a stationary
knife (tuck cutter) for cutting them off
the desired length, a box of gum traga-
canth colored with licorice to make it of
the color of toba co, with which he pastes
the ends of tobacco around the tip or

which varies from a Perfccto shape, which
is pointed at both ends, to a straight ci-
gar, of even thickness all the way through.
These molds usually hold twenty bunches.
When the mold is filled, it is placed un-
der a press for seven or eight hours, or
longer, when the bunches are ready to be
taken out and covered with the wrapper.
These form cigars are usually of an in-
ferior grade to the hand-made, and do not
require such expert workmanship. Of
course, high-grade cigars can be made
with the form, but the smoker generally
gets more for his money in the hand-

an exposition of the subject as could be
wished, but it is the only one that has
been published of recent years :

PACKING. -The filled rack of cigars
is taken from the workman's table into
the packing room, and the packer, who
must be an expert at distinguishing col-
ors, sorts the cigars into the five common
colors, the cigar being "stronger' ' as the
color grows darker. The packer also
inserts the box scent, then tacks down
the cover.

Show Card Su|gestions.

IN the matter of show cards it is fair
to presume that almost every ret «il
cigar dealer has his own ideas and
opinions as to their value and how to
get them up. Many show cards dis-
played in retail stores are proof of the
fact that a large number of retailers have
good original ideas concerning signs
for the store and windows, and the fre-
quent use of such signs tends to prove
that this form of advertising pays.

The wording to be painted or stenciled
on a show card is the subject of much
careful thought to those who get them up.
This is almost necessarily so
because upon bright and catchy
wordings depends the value of
the sign. Timely, appropriate
wordings are much to be desired
as they are far more apt to b^
read than the other kind.

The following wordings are
suggested for show cards for the
use of retailers who may be too
busy to "think up" something
more appropriate:

Twinkle, twinkle, cheap cigar-
How 1 wonder what you are;
Cabbage leaf and cable rope?
Or rubber boot and dash of
dope?

We don' t sell the above kind.

We sell the sort you want.

Our cigars suit particular
smokers and our prices suit
their purse.

You will be dead a long time,
so smoke our good — cent ci-
gar, the , while living.

Cigars and cabbage both
have their place, but we never

he who should occupy the most time in

smoking his cigir.

After thirty-nine minutes had elapsed
the first to let his cigar go out was
escorted from the circle of contestants,
greeted by a "chord* from the orchestra,
and presented with a tin medal, as a
consolation prize. During the first hour
this re-occurred several times— without
the medal and the "chord." When the
hour had just turned the first to finish his
cigar left the circle. For two hours ten

was not until two hours and nineteen and

Suggestions s^nd Facts.

"Full value for the money" is a good
business motto Stick to it and follow it
to the lette —it will prove one of your
most effective advertisements for the
store. The public expect and will have
value for the price they pay, and they
will invariably go where they get that
value — the retailer has a perfect right to
ask every cent a cigar is really worth.

with success he must convince consumers
of the correctness of his belief. The
quickest way to do this is by adveitising.
Don't tell every traveling mn that
comes along what a gre.it business you
are doing, for they will soon blow it along
the line and you will soon have a new
competitor to share your prosperity.

It is well to remember occasionally
that success may be too dearly bought
No man's business is worth working
himself to death over it.

Merchants who cannot afford to employ
an expert ad-writer may often increase
the effectiveness of their advs.
by starting them off with an apt
quotation or a clearly turned
proverb.

The "band wagon" style ot
advertising does very well in its
way but it does a merchant
little good to get his name before
the public unless the name
means something.

Troubles That Never Happen.

Do not permit yourself to be d.scour-

that most of your troubles are imaginary.
This thought suggests the story of the
octogenarian who called his children to
the side of his death bed and s lid :

' ' I have lived a strenuous life and
faced a lot of trouble, but as 1 look b.ick
over my career I find that fully ninety
per cent, of my troubles never really

smoke at his leisure, after the struggle | play is one that is attractive and leads

Never give up and consider your situa-
tion hopeless until the thing has actually

There is a lesson in this story to many
men whose troubles never happen.

will undoubtedly be held at Milwaukee.
The rei)ort of the secretary. A. I^.
Fisher, is of interest to dealers through-
out the country, referring, as it does, to
the growth and importance of the indus-
try in the Badger State during the past
year. The rejtort was as follows:

**ln b«'half of the Tobacco (Jrowers'
and l>ealers' Association of the State of
Wisconsin. I desire to <'all ycnir attention
to the importance of the tobacco industry
of this Stat««:
"(.'onservatively speaking, the State pro-
duces fifty million pounds of tobacco at a
valuation to the prodticers of over a mil-
lion dollars annually. This industry has
ne<'essitated an expenditure for tol»a<-<-o
barns and sheds of six million f«»ur hun-
dred thousand didlars. Dealers of the
State require to pack and store the an-
nual product one hundred and seventy-
five warehouses, costing approximately
eight hundred and seventy-fivo thousand
dollars. Thf handling of the annual
jtroduct taxes the assorting facilities of
the market points in the State for at
least four months in the year, furnishing
lucrative empli>yment to eight thousand
IM'ople. at a wage earning of seven hun-
dred an<l fifty thousand dollars during
the winter months.

"The annual product costs the packers
of the State «lose around five million fiv*'
hundred thousand dollars. The industry
has cost the j»r«Mlucers and pa<'kers of
tobacco in the State for permanent im-
provements seven million two hundn><l
and seventy-five thousand dollars."

The pjissibilities of the toba<co in»lus-
try of the State of Wisc«msin can
scarcely lie over estimated if encour-
age<l by the State and assisted by the
Experiment Station and the guiding
hand of sciem-e.

Tliere is a large acreage in (N-ntral
Wisconsin that <ontains soil particularly
adapted to the growth of tobacco. If we
«au maintain lucrative pric«'s for the
product it is reasonable to ]tredict that
a much larger acreage of tobacco will
be grown. Monroe. La Cross*-. Trempea-
leau. Eau Claire and Dunn <ounties
will materially increase their acreage.
In order to maintain iirices the tobac-
co growers of the State should be pro-
vided with ptire seed, as this is the
foundation for th:» maintenaiu'e of any
agricultural prodtict, especially the cul-
ture of tobacco.

As a business i>roposilioii \\v believe
it reasonable to ask an approiuiatmn of
five thousand dollars to Ik* phui'tl in the
hands of the Exp«'rimeut Station and
used exclusively f<u- growing pure seed
for free distribution.

It is conceded by a majority of the
growers and dealers that by the free dis-
tribution of a pure variety of Havana
seed tin- valuation of the annual product
wouhl be enhanced one-fourtli or about
one million doll.-irs.

Wisconsin, proyided with a unifurni
quality of < igar leaf, with her unequall-
ed iesourc«'s for pr<»du<ing a high stand-
ard of tobacco, w<iuld invite <<>mpetition,
and demand i)rices for her annual prod-
u<'t much in excess of what she is now
receiving.

With proper encouragement the 1o-
bacio industry of tlu' Stat«' <aii be d<»u-
bled in ten years, and a rei)Utalion es-
tablish(>d that will mak«' Wisconsin the
Mecca of the cigar leaf producing
States.

We also ask at your hands an ajipro-
lu-iation of Hve thousand dollars to Is?
used exclusively by the State Experi-
ment Staticui in growing and curing to-
l»acco. We believe it possible in certain
sections of our State to grow tobacco
under canvas and produce an article
»«jual in value to that produced in Con-
necticut.

We urge the importance of this exper-
inu'iit under the direction «»f the State
Exp«>riment Station. We further believe
iintler the fostering c-an* and guidance
of this Institution the growers <aii Ik*
enliglitened on subjects pertaining to
projier fertilizer.s, proper curing houses,
etc., etc.

Competing cigar leaf Stati's have long
since Is'eii encouraged by State and Na-

members, and an interesting and busi-
ness-like meeting ensued. President

John R. Young wielded the gavel and

saw to it that all members, so desiring,

had their say on questions which came

up for consideration. The report of the

secretary, J. S. Batroff, detailing the

work of the past year, was approved, as

was also the report of the treasurer, W.

H. Dohan. The treasurer's report shows

that the association has a balance in the

treasury of $387.65.

The following is a brief synopsis of the

business before the association and action

thereon :

It was decided to pass a vote of thanks
to The Tobacco World and The Tobacco

I Leaf for publishing, without charge, the
resolutions passed by the association upon
the deith of L. Bamberger.

The sum of $25, it was agreed, should

of the association, on behalf of the Phil

The question of recompense for the
stenographer will also be presented at

Secretary Batroff, the question of extend- ,

urer, W. H. Dohan.

It was decided to postpone the election
of delegates to the convention of the
National Leaf Association until a special
meeting which is soon to be called by
President Young. At the end of a session
lasting one and one-half hours, the
meeting adjourned.

IS NOW IN OPERATION.
The A. S. Valentine & Son cigar factory
on North Seventh street started manu-
facluring cigars the latter part of last
week and is now in f lirly smooth running
order. The factory will manufacture
high grade goods only.

THE MAIN OBJECT.
Some complaint is made by retailers
^ho are members ol the Retail Cigar and
Tobacco Dealers' Association of Phila-
<relphia, that the association does not
interest itself any too much in securing
therepeal of the odious Blue 1 aw of 1794.
which compels them to keep a closed
shop on the Sabbath or pay a fine. Facts
show that the association has. indeed,
interested itself in just such a way. but
as one of its officers said, the matter of
Sunday closing or opening was not by
any means the main object of the associ-
ation—but a by issue and that matters
of more import should receive the atten-
tion of the association. The main object
of the association is to resist the advances
of those who would monopolize the retail
cigar and tobacco trade.

IN THEIR NEW HOME.
E. Rabinovitch & Co., manufacturers
of Turkish and Elgyptian cigarettes, are
now nicely quartered in their new store
at 608 Arch street In the l.irge front
show window the firm has four skilled
employes manufacturing Turkish cigar-
ettes and the novelty of the sight is
proving a good advertising card. Crowds
of people gather before the window and
watch the cigarette makers at work.

A WELL-CON Dl'CrED BUSINESS.
Last week ended the first year's service
of WiUiam McCoach as Internal Revenue
Collector of the First Penns\lvania Dis-
trict, and inspectors from Washington,
according to custom, duly audited the
books of the collector. Everything was
found in perfect condition -which is

A FRIEND IN DISGUISE.

A bill has passed the House of the
New Jersey Legislature making it a mis-
demeanor to sell cigarettes to minors
under the age of 16 years. The bill, it
is thought, will meet no opposition in
the Senate and will then become a law.

The bill, known as House 90, was in-
troduced by Assemblyman John S.
Roberts, of Camdenr who for years has

TOBACCO MAY BE KING.
At the cigar factory of P. C. Fulweiler
& Bro. Co., on Sansnm street, bu>iness
with the Prince of India and General Lew
Wallace brands of cigars continues good.
W. R. Tyree, southern salesman with
the firm, reached home last week after a
good business trip to the Southland. .Mr.
Tyree stated that he was pleased with
business in the South. Trade conditions
have improved very much in the past few
years; collections are far better and
tobacco planting and growing is increas-
ing to such an extent that the tob.icco
ciops are becoming a warm rival of cotton,
and may in the ne.ir future dis<ance that
useful commodity. Years ago but a few
acres of tobacco were grown in the
vicinity of Columbia, S. C. Now over
600 acres are in couise of cultivation.
The farmers have found that they can
grow tobacco successfully and that there
is more money in growing it than in
growing cotton.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF "LO."
The cigar store Indian— used as an
advertising sign in from of tobacco stores
— is fast disappearing from the streets of
Philadelphia. So also is Miss Pocahontas,
the Turkish Maiden and Punch, types of
the same wooden effigies who so faithfully
and mutely remind the public that cigars
and tobaccos can be purchased within.
Among a number of these silent figures
th.it are left a Woild reporter notes the
fierce warrior who stands in front of the
leaf hou e of J. W. Wartman & Co.,
North Third street. He is a very fieice
looking Indian chief, with tomahawk,
bow and arrows and crooked leg. and he
tramples with impunity upon a slain
tiger— or is it a leopard? He m ikes a
good sign just the same, and is alw.iys on

duty.

Over on Vine street, in front of E. B.

Young's cigar store is a brightly painted

wooden im.ige of a Turkish lady, Miss

Hookah B.id ih. With a fine United

amount of trade to his owners neatly kept

CUTTING ON A. T. CO. CIGARS.

Daniel L. Leahy. Eighth and Sansom
streets, has filled the two show windows

At the Manuel J. Portuondo factory of his cigar store with attractive exhibits

on Pine street, business continues good and a number of noticeable "cut price"

and no complaint is found with trade signs. For instance one show card an-

condiiions past, future or present. iPresi- nounces that eight Cubanola cigars will

dent Charles P. .Mullens after a seige of
hard work, found time last week to take
a few days' vacation and improved them
by going South on a gunning trip. He
will return home this week. In the near
future he will start West on a regular
business trip.

POPULAR NEW BRANDS.
Arthur Hagen & Co. are introducing

be sold for 25 cents or a box of 50 for
$1.49. The Peola brand is marked $1 .00
for a box of 50. Both brands of cigars
are made by the American Cigar Com-
pany. Other brands of cigars aie marked
at correspondingly low prices.

STEIN VS. THE T. & O. CO.

In the Appellate Division of the New

York Supreme Court, March 2. an opin-

two new brands of plug tobaccos to the j ion. written by Judge Giegerich, was

handed down in the case of Stein vs.
The Theobald & Oppenheimer Co. The

local market. One. called Time Piece,
is the same shape as News Boy
and Deerskin; the other, called M. T.,
is the same shape as Toddy. Manager
Mc Henry states that both brands have
met with good success, one shipment
having been sold and another and larger
one having been ordered and now on
the way to Philadelphia.

THE CUT PRICE SITUATION.

A cut in prices of cigars is reported at
some of the "Trust" stores, in retaliation
against the aggressive attitude and im-
pending war measures of the independent
dealers. The retail prices are saitl to be
lower than the jobbers' schedule, and
at present the consumers are the only
ones receiving any benefit from the war.
A feeling of uneasiness prevails among
the Philadelphia retail cigar dealers over
the "cut price" situation. The exper-

action was brought to recover damages
for the defendant's alleged breach of
contract to designate the plaintiff as
broker in the purchase made by it of
certain tobacco. Broker Stein com-
plained that another broker had received
his commission of $1,742.61. The court,
after reviewing the many points of the
case, concluded by recommending an
affirmance, with costs.

DEATH CLAIMED HER HUSBAND.

Falling down an elevator, Charles A.
Martin, head of the firm of J. D. Kreinel-
berg & Co., tobacco merchants, met
almost instant death February 27, at the
firm's place of business in Baltimore.

fore his death to Miss Mary Davis

married couple were to have started on
their honeymoon trip the day after the i
accident happened. Mr. Martin was 52
years of age and one of Baltimore's
prominent business men.

A BUSY FACTORY.

S. M. Newburger, of Stewart, New-
burger & Co., cigar manufacturers, was
a Minneapolis and St. Paul visitor last
week and secured his share of orders for
the firm' s products.

Stewart, Newburger & Co. have been
doing some earnest work during the
past few months and results have
been good. The factory is busy, has
been busy and, from orders on hand and
future prospects, it will be busy for an
indefinite time to come.

THE TROUBLE CONTINUES.

The Sunday closing crusade against
retail cigar dealers directed by Secretary
Veale of the Sabbath Association, con-
tinues—much to the disgust of the cigar
dealers. Many of them say they can't
help feeling disgusted when they see
cigar dealers prosecuted for selling
smokers while other stores, such as drug
and newspaper stands, milk stands, etc.,
are not molested, yet do business on
Sunday as long as they care to.

In addition to the woe of Sunday dol-
ing another trouble also irritates the
dealers, to wit: the loss of slot machines.
A large number of such machines, sup
posed by the dealers to be lawful ones,
have been seized and destroyed. As
the machines earned their owners more
or less revenue, the seizing of them is a
loss in more ways than one. The l^w

and Order Society is back of the slot
machine crusade.

ANOTHER PROSPEROUS FIRM.

The reliable cigar factory of John

Allen & Sons, at 2956 Richmond street,

is reported as steadily branching out and

trade has been comparatively good since

the holiday season. The house does a

good-sized jobbing business in addition

to manufacturing cigars and enjoys its

share of patronage from letailers in the

northeastern section of Philadelphia.

«%

AC(jUIRES ANOTHER CIGAR

STORE.

I. O. Gardner, proprietor of the cigar
stand in the North American Building,
his purchased from A. Allen the cigar
store at the corner of Fifteenth and San-
som streets. He will take formal posses-
sion March 15, and inaugurate a number
of improvements.

Mr. Gardner's action in acquiring
another store shows the modfrn tendency
of many proprietors to own a "chain of
stores." The "chain of stores" system
is credited with being satisfactorily pro-
fitable.

UU NN FACTORY MOV E.S.
T. J. Dunn & Co. are moving their
cigar factory from the Heymann building
on North Broad street to the Potts build-
in^jonCheriy street near Twelfth At
the new quarters there is an abundance
of light and several factory conveniences
that will be appreciated by the many
employes.

THE LIBERMAN MACHINE.
A visit to the I.iberman Manufac turing

Company, manufacturers of cigar making
machinery at 223-5.7 South Fifth street,
Philadelphia, is b .«h interesting and in-
structive. Here is a complete factory,
machine shops, etc., for the manufacture
of the Liberman suction machine, one of
the simplest and most practical tools in-
troduced to the trade for c gar making.
Work at the company' s quarters is brisk,
as orders are on hand for as many ma
chines as the lar^e force of mechanics
can turn out. The machines are being
sold to manufacturers in all parts of the
United States.

THEY HAVE ROOM NOW.

H. 1). Narrigan & Co., jobbers in ci-
gars, tobacco, etc., since their removal
to their new building 116 North Sixth
street, have been doing a larger business
than ever. One reason for this is found
in the fact that they have more room and
are thus enabled to more quickly fill or-
ders. Again, they have secured many
new customers since adding a number of
new brands of cigars and tobacco to their
regular lines.

*^ I

LECTURES ON BLUE LAWS.

Professor Herman B. Ames, of the
University of Pennsylvania, lectured on
Monday night before the Historical So-
cietyon "The Vagaries of the Blue l^ws."
The ancient Blue Laws put in an appear-
ance in the sixteenth century, and several
of them are in existence still, if certain
retail cigar dealers are light in their
a srrtions. In referring to tobacco.
Professor Ames noted the f.ut that in the
good old Dark Age<> days the "statutes
against the use of tobacco were stringent.

A man might not smoke on the highway,
while at work or in the woods, nor in his
own home if more than one other person
was present at the time. For many years
a man who smoked in a Philadelphia
street was fined."

At present if cigars are sold on Sun-
day, the cigar dealer can be fined for
selling them.

OBITUARY.
Enoch Bishop, who for years kept a
cigar store at Broadway and Mickle
streets, Camden, died March 5, aged 71.

He was formerly a well-known marine
engineer.

Jacob Butz, a well-known cigar manu-
facturer of Wilmington, died March 6,
aged 70. He was one of the original
members of the A. O. U. W.

Joseph G. Farrett, of 21 15 Lippincott
street, was found dead Sunday morning,
in a cigar factory at 513 West Erie
avenue. A gas jet in the room was
found turned on, but it is thought Far-
rett' s death was accidental.

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET

I 1 here has been a better tone in the
leaf market during the past week, and
transactions have increased in number.
While there has been a good demand for
Seed leaf, especially for Pennsylvania
Broad leaf B's and Onondaga B's of the
i<>oo crop (and they are scarce), there
h.is been a brisk demand for Havana
le.if. Prices continue firm. The spring
trade has been backward, but the past
weeks briskne-s would indicate that
tr.tde will be more lively from now on.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION'S PLEA.

The following letter was sent to every
member of the C. S. Sena e on March
6, by Sigmund Rosenwald, President of
the National Cig \t Leaf Tobacco Assocn:

New York, March 6, 1903.

Dear Sir: — We have today wired the
Hon. Shelly M. Cullom, of Illinois,
Chairman of the Foreign Relations Com-
mittee the foUowmg;

"We earnestly protest against the pass-
.ige of the proposed reciprocity treaty
With Cuba in Us present form as it will
not bent tit Cuba and will work untold
injury 10 oin domestic cigar manufac-
turers aid tobac( o growers. No reduc-
tion in duties on impoiteii cigars and a
unifo m rate of duty on leaf tobacco
from Luba wil relieve the situation."

In connec ti< n with this would say that
while we do not oppose reciproi ity with
Cuba, we feel that the treaty, based upon
the lines as now propo-ed cannot benefit
Cuba and will result in the annihilation
of the domestic manufacturers of the
bett<-r ^.rades of cigars. We urge upon
you to use your best effoits to secure an
amendment 10 the treaty, making no re-
duction in f e duty on imported cigars
and pr viding f r a uniform rate of duty
on leaf tobacco fiom Cuba. This will
benefit the Culian growers and will not
injure the domestic grower of tobacco.
Yours very truly,
Su;muni) Kosknwald, President,

Senaiois Sj ooner, l.( dge and Kean
have already answered Mr. Rosenwald' s
lett' r and each have promised to give
the matter his close personal attention.

CONCENTRATE ON GORMAN.

The tip comes straight from Wash-
ington that for his own purposes, and
the purposes of his party. Senator Arthur
l»ugh Gorman, the leader of the Demo-
cratic minority in the Senate, is disposed
to aid almost any cause so long as it is
calculated to embarrass the administra-
tion Accordingly every Tobacco World
readei should forward to Senator Gorman
without a moment's delay a written ex-
pression of his views on reciprocity, on
the trust question and on the uniform
duty question. Senator (iorman is as
self seeking a politician as either of the
Platts or any other member of the Senate
but he has axes to grind and may there-
fore be disposed to take up the cause of
the tr.ide, which none of the Republican
Senators have shown the slightest dis-
position to do at any time.

Therefore , write to Gorman, everybody.
It may be a foilorn hope, but. on the
other hand, there is just a possibility that
it may result in something.

Growers are still crow, ing packers for

The public s >les continue to be chiefly
of the lower grades of leaf; so many
round lots of lugs have been sold pri-
vately that the supply for the breaks -is
small. The market was steady at late
luling prices. Waiehousemen have now
full stocks for sale, but offer sparingly
until there are more general orders in-
the market.

We continue to have ramy weather,
and the deliveiies of loose tobicco have
been larger this week. Planters need
dry weather to bum and sow their plant-

LABELS AND INFMNGEMENTS.

Council Bluffs, Iowa. March 5. 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

Will you kindly inform me all about,
and how to register a label, consequences
of using another' s label, etc.
Respectfully yours,

A SUHSCRIBER.

ANSWER

There are two ways of registering a
label, an expensive way and an inexpen-
sive one. The expensive way is to reg-
ister it at the Patent Office in Washing-
ton. This costs $25. The inexpensive
way is to register it with the registration
bureau of The Tobacco World. This
costs |i.

The object of the person registering a
label is to show priority of use, and the
certificate of registration issued by the
registration bureau is prima facie evidence
of such use. The courts are disposed
to attach due weight to the certificate.

The consequences of using another's
label, i. e., of infringing upon his trade-
mark rights are always unpleasant and
sometimes are very costly, because they
involve a lawsuit, with possible heavy
damages and costs.

*
TOBACCO IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Philadelphia, Mar. 14, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

Can you refer me to any book giving
an account of the tobacco grown in the
Philippine Islands and the state of the
cigar industry there? Before 1890 I was
in the habit of smoking Manila cigars
regularly, and 1 know that I relished
them greatly because of their mildness.

ViNCf:NT K.

ANSWER.

The only recent book describing to-
bacco growing and the cigar industry in
the Philippines is the Report of the
Philippine Commission to the President,
pubUshed at Washington in 1901. This
is a bulky work in four volumes. Since
there is a possibility that the cigars of
the Philippines may again make their
way to the United States, and since the
four big volumes above mentioned are
not readily accessible to every reader, I
feel ustified in reprinting here those ex-

tracts from the report of the Philippine
Commission which have to do with to-
bacco and cigars:

"Philippine tobacco may be divided
into two groups: First, the varieties with
elliptical or ovi.ite, wide, or heart-shaped
leaves, which is called in the provinces
"tobacco from the old seed;' and,
second, tobacco with lanceolate, narrower
leaves than the preceding, which is gen-
erally known under the name of "to-
bacco from new seed. ' The former
comes from Mexico, and the latter is sup
posed to have been introduced recently
from the United States.

"CULTIVATION.- Although tobacco
grows in almost all climates, the product
is more abundant and much better when
grown in hot climates, as the heat has a
great influence in determining that im-
portant quality, the aroma, which it is
impossible to impart artificially. The
lands most suitable for its cultivation are
those of medium consistency and depth,
which are cooled during the summer time,
or such as have a sandy or silicious sub-
soil covered with loam, which are situated
along the banks of rivers which are
periodically overflowed, thus adding new
mineral and organic constituents to the
soil. These lands are called vegas
(meadows), and in this country the name
of vegueros is given to the workman on
such plantation. As the tobacco plant
is very delicate, it is necessary to fertilize
the soil thoroughly. Among fertilizers
may be mentioned those which contain
potassium, lime, chloride, and phosphate,
the best being manure in an advanced
stage of decomposition. The prepara-
tion of the soil, which should be very
deep and carefully done, consists of three
plowings at intervals of several days, and
the completion of the process by grading
and leveling and the removal of all in-
jurious weeds.

"The tobacco seed is sown in hotbeds,
which are made on level, clean ground,
having a c irefully fertilized soil. The
seed is selected from accredited sources
and sown broadcast, being mixed with
fine sand. These beds are about a yard
wide, space enough being left between
them to allow of the passage of weeders
and other workmen. The seeds are cov-
ered lightly with earth, which is packed
down a little and then irrigated, this
operation being frequently repeated until
the plants appear. These beds should
be fenced in and covered over with
branches, so as to protect the plants
from the direct xays of the sun, but not
interfere with ventilation. When the
plants have four leaves this cover is
removed, so that they may develop with
greater vigor, and transplanting immed-
iately begins. The plants are separated
a distance of about 60 centimeters from
each other. When the flowers begin to
appear and 10 or 12 leaves have de-
veloped, the buds are cut from the ex-
tremities of the stalks, so that the sap
may flow to the leaves and nourish them
with greater vigor.

"The gathering of the leaf is begun
when the plant is in just the right con-
dition, and the recognition of this is of
the greatest importance for the quality
of the tobacco. At this time the leaves
begin to turn yellowish, wrinkle some-
what, droop, and show more or less of

a sticky juice, according to the abundance
or scarcity of rain during this period of
ripening. This condition having been
reached, the process of gathering begins.
This may be done either by cutting off
the stalk at the base, which is not a good
way. or by collecting the leaves, one at
a time, in the order in which they grow;
or, beginning below, gathering a hand-
ful of two or three at a time. They are
then classified according to size and
quality, being left on the ground until
they have dried. The tobacco is then
tied in bundles, which are suspended by
cotds in the tobacco storehouse. They
are thus protected from the sun, but are
exposed to excellent ventilation on all
sides by windows and doors, which are
opened or closed, according to circum

stances.

"DISEASES.— The tobacco plant is
subject to injury from various kinds of
insects which attack it. Among these
the most dreaded is that called cogollero.
This is a white butterfly which is so
called because it grows and develops in
vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce.
The gord is a large black worm which
eats the stems of the leaves, cutting them
and causing them to fall. The cach-
asado is the larva of Hadena androgea
Lat, which lives and hides during the
day in the roots of the plant. The
primavera is very voracious, and the
balosa and other small animals not so
much dreaded.

•CHEMICALCOMPOSITION.-The

chemical composition of tobacco is very
complex and variable, according to the
kind and origin of the sample under ex-
amination. \'auquehn and other chemists
who have analyzed it have found in-
organic, substances, such as silica, pot-
assium, magnesia, ammonia, nitric acid,
hydrochloric, phos-phoric, and sulphuric
acids; neutral organic substances, such
as cellulose, < il. yellow and green resins.
and a volatile alkaloid called nicotine.
This is an oily, colorless substance of
pungent taste and odor, soluble in water,
alcohol, and ether. Tnis alkaloid is
found from 1 *4 to 9 per cent, according
to the kind of the tobacco, and it is
worthy of note that the best tobaccos,
and those having the greatest reputation,
are those which contain the smallest
quantity of nicotine. Dr. Lebon, of
Paris, has recently announced the pres-
ence of a new alkaloid in tobacco - coli-
dine — which is as poisonous as nicotine.
Nicotine is very eneigetic. and in a short
time poisons small animals, but is much
less active in the plant itself, as it is
mixed with other less active and inert
substances.

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRIES.
"This is without doubt the principal
Philippine industry which, on account
of the excellence and the cheapness of
its products, can compete with those of
more advanced nations. In general it
may be said that the tobacco industry
since the abolition of the monopoly has
increased in all regions to an extraord
inary degree, both in the quantity and
quality of the product. As a result the
Havana methods of gathering and curing
the leaf and manufacturing the product
have become popular throughout the
country. A full knowledge of the fer-
mentation or preparation of the leaf is

still lacking, or perhaps this work is
carried out under poor conditions, so that
the leaf does not have the aroma and
strength of the Havana. In many parts
of the islands the manufacture of tobacco
is carried on with modern machinery.
More women are employed in the tobacco
factories than, men.

"The samples of manufactured tobacco
shown in the General Exposition of the
Philippine Islands in 1887 indicated
great advances in the manufacture of this
product. The beautiful containers in
which this tobacco was exhibited followed k
the models of those used in Cuba.

"The General Tobacco Company of
the Philippines has a factory in operation
near Manila known by the name Flor de
la Isabella. This building has 12,000
square meteis of floor surface and gives
employment to 4,000 persons — almost all
women. This factory uses the best of
selected tobacco from Isabella and Caga-
yan. The cigarette machines in this
factory are worked by steam. All of the
containers used are made here and all
the labels are printed here. The factory
communicates with the Pasig river by a
canal crossing the company's land, which
was opened at the company's own ex-
pense. Thecompany owns in the Province
of Isabella two important plantations,
which produce tobacco of a superior
grade, due to the vigilance shown in cul-
tivating and gathering. In all the towns in
tobacco producing regions of the Philip-
pines the company hasagents, these being
dependent upon a central agent in each
province.

For a long period of years tobacco has
formed one of the chief exports of the
islands, constituting about 10 per cent
thereof. It is exported in leaf and man-
ufactured. More than half of the leaf
export has gone to Spain. The export
of manufactured tobacco is distributed
throughout Europe and Asia. A merely
nominal quantity has come to the United
States. For a long pei iod of years Spain's
I taking all the Philippine tobacco kept a
I fair balance with the archipelagos im-
' portation of products from Spain. In the
latter years of Sp nish dominion, Spanish
I imports into the islmds were greatly in

excess of her exports. "

The Medicine Man.

NOT A LOTTERY.

In sustaining a demurrer interposed i
against a Government information laid m
against Max Rosenblum, president of
Mozle Bros. . manufacturers of Turkish
cigarettes, who was charged with violation
of the Postal laws. Judge Thomas, of the
U. S. C ircuit Court at New York, on
Marih 10, decided that a guessing contest
wherein something nearly approximating
the correct answer may be arrived at
through an intimate knowledge of eco-
nomic statistical information, does not
come within the meaning of the Federal
laws and hence is legal.

Rosenblum was charged with sending
through the mails circulars referring to a
guessing scheme. Coupon holders guess-
ed as to how many cigarettes the Internal
Revenue Department would collect taxes
on during a month.

Judge Thomas holds that in a guessing
competition of this character the element
of chance is so nearly eliminated that no
prosecution can be maintained. Each
salient condition, he holds, is a subject
of study that enables the competitor to
forecast the fact with an accuracy in some
degree measured by his study, knowledge

A CigSLr Store in H&.v&n8L.

TH E retail cigar stores of H ivana one
of which is pictured on th is page from
a photograph kindly taken for The Tobac-
coWorld, by Mr. Lewis C intor.of the well
known leaf importing firm of Leonar
Friedman & Co., of New York, are
unique in more respects than one. Here
is a city with a population of over 250.-
000 souls, which was the birth place of
the cig.ir and has always been the home
of some of the best known cigar factories
in the world, which possesses not a single
establishment for the retailing of cigars
that would properly be called a cigar
store in any other city under the sun,
not even in Paris where cigars are also
sold on street corners as they are in
Havana. But the kiosks of Pans are far
more pretentious than the little corner
stands in Havana, and one of them, "La
Civitte," which used to be conducted by
a full-fledged duchess, is still one of the
best paying cigar stores in Europe.

The stand in Mr. Cantor' s picture is at
the corner of the Calle Reina and the
Park and is a fair type of all the others
in the city. These stands cany a mis-
cellaneous stock of cigars and cigarettes
and are mainly patronized by the plain
people. The wealthier smokers of Hav-
ana either buy their cigars by the box at
their favorite factory or at the hotels.

Cigirs are, of course, much cheaper in
Havana than they are elsewhere, and
although the cigar stands of the city are
simple to bareness, many of them supply
their trade with all the finer shapes and

sizes.

The Radical Point of View.

The subject of "trusts" is very much in
the minds of retail cigar dealers on ac-
count of anxiety over threatened "cut
price" wars. Under the heading "Trusts
Have No Legal Status, " a recent number
of a retailers' paper has the following
article which will doubtless prove inter-
esting reading to cigar dealers and to-
bacconists as showing the radical views
of one trade paper upon the situation :

"While some of the retail cigar and
tobacco dealers throughout the country
are determined to keep trust goods in the
the background, quite a number show
some timidity against open discrimina-
tion. They fear that to discriminate
against trust goods openly is a violation
of the law.

The retailer need not apprehend legal
difficulty if he chooses to 'boycott' trust
goods, for the simple reason that a trust
can have no relief whatsoever at law. A
trust is an illegal combine under the state
and federal laws; and indeed, statutory
enacmcnts are not really necessary
against trusts, as they have no right to
exist under the common law.

Trusts are very careful about going
into the courts as plaintiffs against men
who are doing business in a legitimate
way. They have no standing in court
and they know it Once a trust, that
would be plaintiff is forced to disclose its

identity and the courts would declare While it is true that .m 'illegal com-
them outlaws not entitled to the u-e of binat.on' -be it called trust, monopoly

a weed called mountain tobacco issmoked
in great quantities. It is powdered before

a mental and ph\ sical wreck. The nittives
of South Africa are peculiarly affected by
smoking the dried leaves of the camphor
plant. The smoker tiembies with fright
at nothing.;, weeps bitterly, and uses all
sorts of words which do not in the least
express his meaning. The wild dagga,
another South African plant, poisons
slowly anyone using it. The best thing
for smokers to use, it is obvious from all
this, is to stick to good, pure American
tobacco. It is the wted which soothes
and does not injure its votaries."

Points for Retailers on Advertising.

A dealer who decides to advertise
should not confine himself to newspaper
publicity entirely. While the newspaper
will undoubtedly be found the most ef-
fective advertising medium, and one that
the up-to-date merchant cannot afford
to neglect, it should always be backed
up by means of some other form of ad-
vertising in order to keep your name
continually before the smoking public.
One of the most effective, and at the
same time least expensive, methods of
accomplishing this, is that of sticking a
small label upon every parcel that leaves
the store. These labels should be about
two inches square, and of a bright color;
the dealer's name standing out promin-
ently, together with the address. It is
a good plan to add to this, in smaller
type, some short, catchy phrase, drawing
attention to the variety and excellence
of your stock, etc. The main point is
to adopt a distinctive style and color;
and having done so, to make use of it
wherever possible, and to continue with
it until the label becomes familiar as a
sort of trade mark.

One of them should be attached to
every box of cigars, every package of
tobacco or cigarettes, and every pack of
caids that you sell, and you will find in
a very short time that the results will be
out ol all proportion to the small expense
incurred.

A great many retail tobacconists seem
to have go.ten into the habit of empha-
sizing the cheapness of their goods and
say little or nothing about their quality
or merits. Cheapne.-s in price is gener-
ally attractive, provided the i|uality is

Sobrinos de Anterio Gonzales sold
1,250 bales of Vuelta Abajo and Reme-

has watched it carefully since cutting
commenced, and no week has passed
without his making at least one trip.

Sinchez y Cueto have been quietly

only very little left of the old crop, as
they intend going in heavier still as soon

TOBACCO BUYERS SCOURING YORK

For Desirable Crops- Shipments Large
and Numerous -Trade Notes and
Chit-Chat of the past
Week.
York, Pa., March 16. 1903.
However much York county tobacco
may be held in disrepute, the fact remains
that buyers galore have been scouring
the entire county for all desirable ciops
during the past year. For weeks past
[ and for several in the future, deliveries
at York to the cars lor shipment to the
packing points have been made and will
continue for several weeks. It has long
I since been realized, that with ordinary

attention and proper care a crop of to-
bacco pays belter to the grower than any-
thing else that can be raised; besides he
receives the cash on delivery which is
no great time after harvesting. The
vicinity of North George and Duke stree;s,
was e. .livened during Thursday with the
hustle and work occasioned by the receipt
of a great quantity of tobacco aggregat-
ing about 300 cases, and filling several
cars for shipment to Lancaster and else-
where. It appears that the recipients of
the tobacco last Thursday will be getting
the "cream of the crop," so to speak,
being that raised in the most favorable
section in the county.

Several car loads of very fine tobacco
were received and delivered to A. Sonne-
man, the local packer, during the week.
Mr. Sonneman has been receiving for
the past several weeks and is now very
busy with a force of workmen handling

the goods.

D. S. Detweiler, of Wrightsville, re-
ceived on Thursday a large quantity of
tobacco at his warehouse from the farmers
in his section.

Red Lion was the scene of active to-
bacco receipts during the week by W.
O. Wilcox, of Lancaster. Mr. Wilcox
is the Lancaster packer for G. Falk &
Bro., of New Yoik.

D. A. Minnich, formerly the York
postmaster, has rented the warehouse
now occupied by Jacob Winter, dealer
in leaf tobacco, for the purpose of pack-
ing tobacco which he will commence
packing about April 1. Mr. Winter will
occupy the adjoining building where he
will continue in the leaf business.

Reading, Pa., March 14, 1903.

The large store 1 00m formerly occupied
by Mohn & Miller has been fitted up as
a cigar shop for the use of C. M. Yetter,
whose factory was destroyed by fire several
weeks ago. Mr. Yetter started up his
new fictory last Monday. Another story
will be built on the old part and the likeli-
hood is that he will remain permanently
at the netv place.

Dr. B. H. Miller h is rebuilt his shop
for the use of Samuel Frankhouser, cigar
manufacturer whose place of business was
destroyed wiih Mr. Yetter* s.

Cigar manufacturer Julius (i. Hansen
has returned from a successful business
trip though the West. He visited Den-
ver and other leading Western cities,
where he secured a large number of orders.

Rudy Eidam, the cigar dealer, found a
bag containing fifty or more deadlatch

and skeleton keys which he turned over
to Chief of Police Witman. The suppo-
sition is that they were dropped by a
burglar.

John A. Moser, of Riverside, has
opened a cigar store at Tenth and Marion
streets, and purposes entering the manu-
facturing business.

Charles E. Glassmoyer has purchased
the goodwill, stock and fixtures of the
Union cigar store, and has taken posses-
sion of the place.

N. Z. Young, of Coopersburg, filed a
bond here in Jjcx) to start a factory at
that place.

George S. Trump, of Allentown, has
filed a bond in $800 to carry on a cigar
factory.

H. J. Steele, who recently purchased
the brands of Lewis R. Farling, has
placed the Athletic, his leader, on the
market with a new and attractive label.

Alfred Weaver will retire from business
April 1st, and will return to San Fran-
cisco, Cal., where he lived thirteen years
ago.

The cigar industry here is very busy
and there is a steady demand for more
help. E. E. Kahler is still advertising
for fifty cigarmakers on hand work. Not
in many years has there been such a de-
mand for help as during the past four
months. The settlemen t of the coal strike
has caused quite a boom in the coal re-
gions where business was dull for such a
long time. Orders are now rapidly com-
ing in from that section.

E. M. Keller is on a two weeks' busi-
ness trip through the southeastern sec-
tion of the State and Delaware and
reports the outlook bright

Morris M. Ruth has placed two new
brands on the market styled the Tivoli
and Heiress.

WHY HE DIDN'T TELL.

• 'What's the name of the best customer
on your books? "

This was the question a promoting
broker asked of a certain large leaf mer-
chant the other day. He got "the laugh"
fur his pains.

"He's so good I don't want to lose
him," said the leaf merchant. "If I were
fool enough to tell you his name the next
thing would 'be you would get some trust
or combine to buy him out, and then
where would I be?"

Profits of the French Regie.

The balance sheet of the State mono-
polies in matches and tobacco shows that
the Slate realized a profit of 23,713.247
francs on one manufacture of thirty -
eight milliards of matches. The receipts
from tobacco were 4i5,ooo.ocx) francs,
of which 332,500,000 were net profits.
It is estimated that the average expend-
iture for tobacco and cigars per capita
was II francs. In Paris the average was
19.26.

The Best Way to Smoke.

Rapid smoking is as bad as rapid eat-
ing, or worse. It is also "bad form,"
whether it is pipe, cigar or cigarette.
The smoking should be deliberate in
order to get the fullest enjoyment. It is
easily so with a pipe Many persons
have smoked all their lives, and yet do
not know how to smoke. It is as pain-
ful to watch some people smoke as it is
to sit at the table with a man who ' 'gob-
bles" and "gorges" his food on the "15-
minutes-for-refreshments ' plan.

TRADE IN MILWAUKEE QUIET.

Lent ObservanceSaid to Have Something
to Do With It — Lirge Tobacco Acre-
aye Booked for Eau Claire.

Milwaukee. Wis., Mar. 16, 1903.

Trade has been dull with Milwaukee
retailers during the past ten days and
the town has been very quiet, there
being few agents in the city. Several
of the downtown dealers ascribe the
loss in trade to the fact that many of
their customers give up the pleasures
of the weed during the Lenten season,
but if this is so, the season is being ob-
served far more rigorously than hereto-
fore.

Fav, Lewis & Co., are making a dis-
plav of Maud Muller cigars at the Pabst
building store and at tlie Grand avenue
store, the Country Merchant, a popu-
lar brand, tills the window.

The Hotel Piister «igar stand has been
tmpmviKl with new counters and show
cases. The March trade is reported so
far as being unusually good, but as the
stand cat«'rs to the transient trade and
as there h:ive been a number of conven-
tions here within tlu> last two weeks,
this is not out of the ordinary.

It is rumored that the Gimbel Bros.'
department store is shortly to open a
retail cigar and tobacco department at
the west entrance to its new building.

The Milwaukee Leader, a popular 10-
cent cigar of local nmke, is being adver-
tised by catch phrases at the different
vamlevilh' theatres of the city, the per-
formers in their dialogues advising the
audience to smoke them.

The Spiegel Drug Company still con-
tinues its cut-rate prices on popular
brands of .'i-ceiit cigars nnd is doing an
enormous busini'ss.

H. O. Frank, the local manufacturer
ami wliolesaler who has been ill at
'i'liMiiiasville. (Ja.. has returned to the
city much improved in health.

.M:imiger .Vndrew Hoen, who is in
(barge of the I'nited Cigar Manufac-
turers' warehouse at Vinxpia, Wis., is
seriously ill with ]in«'umonia.

Manager Potter has closed the ware-
house of the Hussy Tobacco Company

' There are tifty-six leaf toba«"co ware-
houses at Edgerton. Wis., nuikiug that

of the I'nited Statt's. if not the world.

It has been dis«'overed that the soil in
Northwestern Wisc<msin near Eau
<'lain' is especially adapteil to the grow-
ing of tobacco, ami a large acreage will
be given over to the culture of the loaf
this year.

Philadelphia house, is also sold at two

THE CIGARETTE MUST GO.
The movement to suppress cigarette
sinokmg in Germantown by the Business
Men's League is growing in strength. A
number of halls h ive been engaged and
prominent physicians will lecture on the
evil effects of the habit. Principals of
public schools have promised to suspend
pupils caught smoking cigarettes.

A NEW HRAND INTRODUCED.

The Wells- Whitehead Tobacco Co. . of
Wilson. N. C. has successfully introduced
one of its new brands of cigars to the
Philadelphia tr.uie. They are called the
Carolina Mrights. T. A. Hrown. generd
manager of the compmy, and A. W.
Voight. an emplove. have been plarii g
the brand on the market. They have
been doin^ some hard work and are
pleased at having met with success.

trade the United Cigar Stores Co. prob
ably purposes opening the new store to
catch a share of that trade. Workmen
are now busy fixing up the store room, j
which, when done, it is promised, will j
be up-to d.ite and handsome. The other ;
Eighth street stand of the U. C. S. C,
is near Locust street — another vicinitv
wheie there is a good retail trade. An-
other has been opened on Filbert street,
near Broad. Dame Rumor has h id it
that the same company had opened an
up-town store and several others, but
until the stores are actually opened it is
needless to place dependence in such
stories. The Chestnut and Market
street stores of the United people con-
tinue their really handsome wintlow dis-
plays and also show a considerable num
ber of "cut price" goods. The 'cut
prices " have led many retailers in the
vicinity of the United stores to follow
suit or go them one better in the way of
offering other inducements. If com-
petition is the life of tr.idc there must be
considerable trade and considerable com-
petition— but as to profits, that is prob-
ably another story.

SHARP TILL THIEVES.

Mrs. Charles Darrah, who has a cigar
store at Sixteenth and York streets, com-
plained to the police that she had been
adroitly robbed last Thursday evening of
a wallet, containing $30, by two men.
One man, she said picked up a news-

1701 Washington avenue, re eived a
veidict March 10 fur *i,ooo damages
against the city of Philadelphia Mr.
McCunney was injured by stepping in a
depression of the sidewalk on Thirteenth
street, near Ellswoith. and claims that
his shoulder and left arm are probably
permanently injuied.

W LL BAND ITS CIGARS.
The Theobald & (^ppenheimer Co. has
decided to hereafter band thiee of its
popular brands of cigais — La Loco.
William Penn and Royal lancers. This
step is taken to protect both dealers and
consumers. It is lumored the good
qualities of the cigars tempted several
unscrupulous persons to refill the half
emptied boxes with inferior goods.
Whether this was so or not the banding
of the cigars will hereafter insuie the
consumer receiving the T. & O. product.

AN EFFECTIVE SHOW WINDOW.
The display window of F. Sontag, a
wholesale and retail tobacconist on North
Second street below Arch, is noticeable
because of the unusually large showing of
Southern plug and chewing tobaccos.
The goods are attractively displayed and
look fresh and clean -just the sort of
display which has an inviting look.
When one sees the fine tobaccos one

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Importers and shippers of tobacco will
learn with satisfaction of the efforts to be
madeto impiove the Delaware river. The
tot il appropriations for the improvement
of the Delaware river from 1802 to 1900
were$3. 572.948. 71. andfortheSchuylkill
river $525,000. The appropriations for
the De aware Breakwater, begun in 1828
and completed in 1896. weie $3008,-
353.70. according to the digest prepared
bv John McClure, Secretary to Colonel
R lymond. Chief Engineer of the Dela-
w.ire river improvements.

E.XTINGUISH THE FIRE.

More or less carelessness accompanies
the use of cigars and pipes as is well
shown by two reports of fires which took
place in Philadelphia last week, to-wit:

Residence of Ashner McCully, 2143
North Sixteenth street; caused by lighted
ci.iar being thrown into closet; loss
trifling.

Dwelling of John Seaver, 3926 Olive
street; started from lighted pipe in coat
pocket; loss $25.

Twenty-five dollars is a high price to
pay for a pipe smoke and the moral is

pparent that it pays to put out the fire
f pipes and cigars before laying them by.

NORTHWESTERN B. M. HOLD

A MEETING.
A meeting of members of the North-
western Business Men's Association,
retail cigar dealers and candy and news-
stand shopkeepers, was held Wednesday
evening. March 11, at the Sons of '
Veteran's Hall, Montgomery avenue near
Eleventh street. The meeting was under
the auspices of F. B. Robertson, a mem-
ber of the Organization Committee of the
Philadelphia Retail Cigar and Tobacco
Dealers' Association and was held for the
purpose of discussing a number of ques-
tions of deep import ince to the retail
cigar, newspaper and candy dealers.
Definite action was taken on one matter
of importan(e and as soon as it is acted
upon the developments will be noted in
The Tobacco World. The meeting was
a success in points of attendance and
enthusiasm and it could easily be seen
that the retailers present were determined
to do all in their power to advance their
business interests.

SMEALS AFFER ALL.
H. S. Smeal's "Annina" cigar factory,
at Broad and Vine treets, which has
been established about two years, con-
tinues busy and is credited with securing
its share ot trade. The f tctory's leading
brand is the After All, which is made in
both five and ten cent grades and in a
number of sizes. Mr. Smeal is vigorously
pushing the sales of his factory' s products
and is meeting with deserved success.

ness has decidedly improved. Several 1
dealers report business quiet but the
majority of them say small sales have
been numeious. The demand has been
for old leaf — which is growing more and
more scarce, and prices remain firm.

Nothing unusual has taken place in
Havana and Sumatra tobacco sales, the
volume of business having been about
normal. It is evident that manufacturers
are still buying in small quantities pend-
ing full information concerning 1902
crops.

During the week ending Satuiday last
there were no tobacco exports from the
city — a fact of considerable interest, as
it is the first week in a long time that
such has been the case.

OBITUARY.
The funeral of the late Mahlon K.
Smith, president of the Smith, Kline &
Fiench Co.. whole-ale druj^gists, took
place Saturday last from his late residence
3801 Chestnut street. For some months
Mr. Smith had suffered from kidney
trouble which brought on a general
breakdown. The death of his estimable
wife three months ago, it is believed,
hastened his end. The deceased was
born in Salfo dville, Montgomery county
Pa., seventy-two ye»rs ago and when
sixteen years of age first settled in Phila-
delphia. Smith, Kline & Fiench Co. do
a large business in high grade cigars and
because of this fact Mr. Smith was quite
well known to the tobacco trade.

John H. Kdwaids died March 7 at his
late home on,C,reen street. Mr. Edwards
w.ts for many years engaged in the man-
ufacture of cigars and was well known to
the trade of Philadelphia. He leaves a
son and daughter.

At the same meeting Secretary Batrofif
was instructed to ask the National Cigar
Leaf lobacco Association what position
it had taken - in favor of or in opposition
to the Cuban Treaty Bill. At yesterday* s
meeting. Secretary BatrofT said he had
wiiiten for the desiied information to
Secretary Charles Fox of the National
Association and had received in reply a
letter the subs' ance of which follows:

"The efforts of our Association have
been exerted toward preventing the
adoption of the proposed Reciprocity
Treaty in its present form and to secure
an amendment to pi ovide for no reduction
in duty on cigars from Cuba, and also to
provide for a unifoim rate on leaf tobacco
fiom Cuba; this action being in harmony
with the views of our trade as expressed
at the last annual convention of our As-
sociation.

"All of our arguments have dwelt
pi incipally upon the injury to the domestic
cigar manufactuiing industry that the pro-
posed 20 per cent, reduction in duty on
cigars from Cuba would inflict, and in
this we have had the able assistance of
several ci.ar manufacturers' associations,
as well a^ that of many individual asso-
ciations. ' I
Discussion upon the Cuban Recipro-
city Treaty was at once in order. F.
Etketson opened the "talk" by intro-
(lu(ing a reso'ntion to the eflect that the
combined le«f men of Philadelphia are
opposed to theCul). n Recij ro( ity I reat\
in its present lorm ; that they favor a te-
du. tion in the tax impoited on Cuban
leaf tol)ac( OS to 25 or 30 cents per pound,
and a correl Hive reducti' n on manufic-
tured cigais often per cent.

M. R sen berg objected to taking any
action as an association; he thought the
leaf dealers should oppose the Cuban
Treaty as mdividuals and as firms.
"Theie's nothing; in my resolution to in-
criminate anybody, "protested Mr. Eckcr-

A quiet, steady hunting of the unsold
poitions of both the old and new lobacco
remaining in country hands is still being
prosecuted as the weather and roads will
permit. As spring approaches the holders
of bundle leaf seem willing to grant some
concessions in pi ice rather th »n soi t their
crops, which a few bu>ers are taking ad-
vantage of.

C. H. Tallard purchased i 50CS of 1900
of Mr?. J. U. Devol. of Stoughton. and
H. \V. Child i40Cs'oi of John Evans.
The movement from country hands to
receiving points has been greatly handi-
capped by the almost impassable condi-
tion of the country roads, though packers
have ample stocks of bundle leal to keep
the warehouses running at full capacity.
The effort to 'black eye " the new
Wisconsin crop in the eastern markets,
through the reports of bl.ick rot citcul.iied
by an eastern journal, is causing no un-
easiness at present among the local
packers. It is much too early yet to
launch such a scare.

The public otfeiings still show princ-

the demands aie moie general and more
active.

Lugs appear in small percentage
although the demands are strong at full
price .

The rains have continued l)ut have
slackened ofTand the water courses have
fallen. The roads are in very bad con-
dition but will soon improve under dry
we ither. which will enlarge our receipts.
Dry weather is much needed for the

DESIRABLE CIGAR JOBBING CONNECTIONS.

By a cigar salesman, who refuses to permit the publication of his name.

;i mighty good

I admit at the outset that the big job-
bers, I mean the very big fellows, are
very desirable, but my house happens
to be one of those steady- paced, conser-
vative concerns which doesn" t believe in
spending a thousand dollars to get a five
case order, and that's what making a
first sale to one of the very big jobbing
houses nowadays means. Unless a

manufacturer catering to one of the very
big houses is prepared to start off in this
lavish way and to keep up the pace
afterward he had better keep to a nar-
rower path as my house is doing, and
doing satisfactorily at least so far as I am
concerned. When the "old man" called
me into his private office to give me his
instructions before sending me out on
my first trip he said to me: "You go after
the small jobbers. Let the big fellows
alone. The small jobber is good enough
for me. He's the chap that has to work
to sell his cigars and even if he hasn' t
any rating in Bradstreet's or Dun's 111
fill his orders so long as you are able to
certify that he's attending to business."

Well, I've done exactly what the boss
told me to do and I've got a good steady
paying job with bright prospects before
me. My customers are doing well, too.
Every one of them is doing better than
he did two years ago or one year ago,
and not a single man Jack of them all
is losing an hour of sleep on account of
the competition of the great corporations.
I think the best way to size it all up is
to say that each is minding his own busi

his, which is after all
rule. ^ !

Every time I come home to New York
on a visit to my house I hear a vast deal ;
about the trust and the trust stores, but ,
really, outside of New York, one doesn't
hear much of this sort of talk. 1 think \
the New Yorkers are very mu( h like the
Parisians, nothing interests them so
much as themselves, but then there is
this difference between Paris and New
Yoik— Paris is France, but New York is
not the United States, by a long shot.
According to the talk one hears in New
York the trust is making anywhere from
one-fifteenth to one-eighth of all the ci-
gars now being manufactured in the
United States yearly. If it's one-fifteenth
the competing manufacturers are making
the other fourteen fifteenths, and if it's
one-eighth the competing manufacturers
are making the other seven-eighths. In |
either case, the trust is getting a whole |
lot of free advertising from the people j
who jointly are making a great many ,
more cigars than it makes. It seems to i
me that in this instance, as in so many
others, the majority is being terrorized
by the minority. I wonder the majority
doesn't adopt tactics to throw a scare
into the minority. Anyhow I'm one
of the unterrified. So long as my house
and my customers are satisfied with me
I shall go right along selling cigars and
enjoymg life in a modest quiet way.
And this is the only time I'll ever talk

ness'and letting the othe°r fellow mind about the trust to anybody. R. O.

VarlouB Sonttaweatern Point*.

Memphis, Tenn., March 14.
The jobbers, whoh^snltrs luul tobac-
coniHts in this portiou of the South-
west are expressing themselves as
pleased with the outlook for sprinitj
trade. Business with each of the three
classes has been good and the demnnd
for fine grade cigars, dark Havanns
seems to be on the increase here iu
Greater Memphis. The last ten days the
Mississippi river has been on a glorious
tear, and the jK'ople iu the Mississippi
Valley during that time have been d«»-
ing nothing but drink whisky and talk-
ing water. The loeal papers are run-
ning boat mid skiff ads; the levw con-
tractors are at work day and night
from Cairo, 111., and C'aruthersville. Mo.,
to New Orleans. The colored folk say
the moon has simply been 'ruiut, and
as the flood has beeu on since that body
has been in its present form that may
have something to do with it. Though
the general opinion of the lowlauders is
that the too much water is n retributive
measure for the prohibition legislature
at Nashville that has ruu old Lineobi
County and Bourbon out of every toAvn
in the State with less than 50(K> in-
habitants, and is n»»w %vorkiug on jug
and auti-screeu measures.

The Jockey Club of Memphis an-
nounces the rae«' uut't to begin March
30, and this nu-iins. as usual, a good
business for the Memphis tobacco
houses.

Sol Coleman has returned from a re-
cent trip to Athinta. (ia., and his nun
are doing some stunts iu rural West
Tennessee advertising the Uosa Concha
cigar with an excellent large picture
of Coleman thrown iu.

I. Samclsun has returned from a trip
to New York city and says there is
positively nothing in the nmior that his
store has been a< quireil by the trust.

The last few days business has been
a bit slack here simply from weather
conditions. Aiiril. it is thought, will
move trade up several notches, as gen-
eral prospects were never better.

Reports come here snying that the
tobacco crop in middle Tenncsse*-. par-
ticularly about Clarksville, has bt-* ii
much damaged by wet weather, and that
perhaps there will be a shortage in
"raw material" at the glad old harvest
time.

William Anu-nd. a popular hwal uiaiiu-
facturer, has lieen named for a place
on the Manufacturers' Committee of the
Merchants' Exchange, a leading com-

J. T. Anderson Company's tobacco
plant at Gallatin, Tenn., has begun
business, though the building is not quiti-
completed.

FERTILITY OF TOBACCO LAND.

The question is often asked: How long
can tobacco be grown on the same soil
withoutlexhausting its fertility? The an-
swer would depend somewhat upon cir-
cumstances. Wisconsin has been grow-

in that httle $30,000 matter and he has
promised the membership committee of
the Old Settlers' Club that he'll be eligi-
ble all right after his next failure.

the entire interests of the other stock-
holders, and in January, 189«n the pres-

The Tobacco World is the best of all Tobacco

Papers because: , . , , i I

1 It is conducted by men whose technical knowi- 1
edge of every branch of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, and whose
personal acquaintanoe in the trade is most extensive
2. The Tobacco World treats all questions and all

A single contribution from any of these persons is
worth many times the cost of a year's subscnptioii.
8 During 1W2 the mt)st striking novelty in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whirh
t)cgan on Januarv 1 , with a chapter entitled * ' The
Truth Aboutthe Discovery of Tobacco, " contributed

by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald & i
Bro , of New York, and now the president of the|
National Cigar Leaf Association . ended on December
24 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
lean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester,
N. H. Each of the other fif\y chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the '* Comic
History of Tobacco by Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To
bicco*' will be published in book form, handsomely
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and will
be sent to any address in the United States, Porto
Rico or the Philippines on receipt of |1.0(). postage
prepaid. Two dollars will pav for an annual sub-
scription to The Tobacco World and for the "Comic
History of Tobacco."

» 3. The Medicine Man, trusted and beloved bv all
readers of The Tobacco World, will continue
throughout 1903 to pour out the treasures of his
learning and the geniality of his unfailing goo<i
humor for the benefit of his friends among the pale-
faces. A year under the instruction of the Medicine
Man is a li )cral education.

10. If you want a tctith reason for enrolling yonr
name on The Tobacco World's subscription li?t
look into your own heart and ask yourself this
question: "Why should not I read what all u'\
brothers in the trade are reading each week with
delight and profit, in order that I may 1)C as wcl!

SMOKING TO THE GLOR.Y OF GOD.

Springfield, Mo,, March 17, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

Under what circumstances was it that
the late Dr. Spurgeon, of London, said
he would smoke to the glory of God ?
A Preacher's Son.

ANSWER.

One Sunday evening in 1876, Mr.
Spurgeon, before beginning his sermon in
the Metropolitan Tabernacle, announced
that he would not preach long that night,
because he wished his friend, Mr. Pente-
cost, who was on the platform, to say a
few words to the congregation. Mr.
Spurgeon then gave a very earnest ad-
dress on the words, "I cried with my
whole heart; hear me, O Loid; 1 will
keep thy statutes. I cried unto Thee;
save me and I shall keep thy testimo-
nies." (Ps. cxix. 145-6) He spoke
strongly and plainly upon the necessity
of giving up sin in order to success in
prayer for "quickening," and as an
evidence of sincerity. Mr. Spurgeon, in
concluding his discourse, said: "Now
then, perhaps Brother Pentecost will give
you the application of that sermon."

"Brother Pentecost" is an "open com-
munion" Baptist minister, of the Ameri-
can city of Boston. He responded at
once to Mr. Spurgeon' s call, and step-
ping to the front of the platform, gave
some excellent remarks on the latter
portion of the text, with much simplicity
and force of manner. Referring to one
part of Mr. Spurgeon" s sermon, he gave
an interesting bit of personal experience.
He said that some years ago he had had
the cry awakened in his heart, "Quicken
Thou me. ' " He desired to be more com-
pletely delivered from sin, and he prayed
that God would show h m anything which
prevented his more complete devotion
to Him. He was willing he thought, to
give up anything or everything if only he
might realize the desire of his heart.
"Well,"" said he, amidst the profound
silence and attention of the immense
congregation, "what do you think it was
that t"he Lord required of me? He did
not touch me in my church, my family,
my property, or my passions. But one
thing I liked exceedingly— the best cigar
which could be bought" He then said

that the thought came into his mind,
could he relinquish this indulgence if its
relinquishment would advance his piety.
He tried to dismiss the idea as a mere
fancy or scruple, but it came again and
again to him, and he was satisfied that
it was the still small voice which was
speaking. He remembered having given
up smoking by the wish of his ministerial
brethren, when he was twenty-one years
of age, for four years. But then he had
resumed the habit, for he declared dur-
ing that four years he never saw or smelt
a cigar which he did not want to smoke.
Now, however, he felt it to be his duty
to give it up again, and so unequal did
he feel to the self-denial, that he "took
his cig ir box before the Lord,"' and cried
to him for help. This help he intimated
had been given, and the habit was
renounced.

Mr. Spurgeon, whose smoking pro-
pensities were pretty well known, instantly
rose at the conclusion of Mr. Pentecost's
address, and, with a somewhat playful
smile, said: "Well, dear friends you
know that some men can do to the glory
of God what to other men would be sin.
And notwithstanding what Brother Pente-
cost has said, I intend to smoke a good
cigar to the glory of God before 1 go to
bed to night If anybody can show me
in the Bible the command, 'Thou shalt
not smoke r 1 am ready to keep it; but 1
haven't found it yet. I find ten com-
mandments, and it's as much as I can
do to keep them; and I've no desire to
make them into eleven or twelve. The
fact is, I have been speaking to you
about real sins, not about listening to
mere quibbles and scruples. At the
same time, I know that what a man
believes to be a sin becomes a sin to
him, and he must give it up. 'What-
soever is not of faith is sin," and that is
the real point of what my brother Pente-
cost has been saying. Why, a man may
think it is a sin to have his boots blacked.
Well then let him give it up, and have
them whitewashed. I wish to say that
I'm not ashamed of anything whatever
that I do, and I don't feel that smoking
makes me ashamed, and therefore 1 mean
to smoke to the glory of God. "

Great was the scandal produced by
this manly utterance of the great preacher;
but he stuck to it -saying (in the Daily
Telegraph) — "As I would not knowingly
live even in the smallest violation of the
law of God -and sin is the transgression
of the law — I will not own to sin when
I am not conscious of it There is
growing up in society a Pharisaic system
which adds to the commands of God the
precepts of men; to that system I will
not yield for an hour. The preservation
of my liberty may bring upon me the
upbraiding of many of the good, and the
sneers of the self-righteous; but I shall
endure both with serenity, so long as I
feel clear in my conscience before God.
•'The expression 'smoking to the glory
of God, ' standing alone has an ill sound,
and I do not justify it, but in the sense
in which 1 employed it, I shall stand to
it No Christian should do anything in
which he cannot glorify God — and this
may be done, according to Scripture, in
eating, and drinking, and the common
actions of life.

"When 1 have found intense pain

relieved— a weary brain soothed — and
calm refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar,
I have felt grateful to God, and have
blessed His name; this is what I meant
and by no means did I use sacred words
triflingly. If through smoking I had
wasted an hour of my time- if I had
stinted my gifts to the poor- if I had
rendered my mind less vigorous— 1 trust
I should see my f lult and turn from it;
but he who charges me with these things
shall have no answer but my forgiveness.

"I am told that my open avowal will
lessen my influence; and my reply is that
if I have gained any influence through
being thought different from what I am,
I have no wish to retain it I will do
nothing upon the sly, and nothing about
which I have a doubt

"I am most sorry that prominence has
been given to what seems to me so small
a matter— and the last thing in my
thoughts would have been the mention
of it from the pulpit; but I was placed
in such a position that I must either by
my silence plead guilty to living in sin,
or else bring down upon my unfortunate
self the fierce rebukes of the anti-tobacco

advocates by speaking out honestly. I
chose the latter; and although I am now
the target for these worthy brethren, I
would sooner endure their severest cen-
sures than sneakingly do what I could
not justify, and earn immunity from their
criticisms by tamely submitting to be
charged with sin in an action which my
conscience allows."

WHY MEN SMOKE.

New York, March 17. 1903.
Dear Medicine Man :

As my boys grow up, I have six of
them, I discover that each of them learns
to smoke. They generally begin in their
twelfth year when I find them coming
home smelling of cigarettes. Chiding
doesn' t cure them and I am one of those
foolish women who dislike to use the rod
on my children, 1 check the habit as
much as I can by gentle means but am
always prepared, when my boys reach
the age of about eighteen to see them
come into the house openly puffing a
cigar or a pipe. (Cigarettes I will not
tolerate in my dwelling from anyone)
I would like to have from someone a
sensible explanation of why men smoke

Now, as to boys and men. Small
boys smoke for two reasons; first because
they are imitative little monkeys, and
secondly because it is a daring and
dangerous thing to do, mvolving punish-
ment if found out.

Men smoke because boys do. In this
case, too, the child is father to the man.
Hut very many men do not acquire the
habit until long after they have reached
the age of maturity. Their case is so
iTiuch like that of the late Professor
Huxley that I do not hesitate to quote
him.

"For forty years of my life,"" he says,
"tobacco was to me a deadly poison. I
was brought up as a medical student,
and I had every temptation to acquire
the art of smoking; but my smoking,
after a few puffs, always resulted in find-
ing myself on the floor. I failed to be-
come a smoker when I was an officer in
the Navy, and I had, for a long time, a
great antipathy to smokers, but some
few years ago, I was making a tour in
Brittany, when I stayed at an old inn.
It was awfully wet and cold without; and
a friend of mine took to smoking, and
tempted me to have a cigar. My friend
looked so happy; the fire was so warm
within the inn ; and it was so cold and
wet without, that I thought I would try
to smoke; and then I found myself a
changed man. I found that 1 was in
the position of a lamentable 'pervert* —
and my case would illustrate to you the
evil of bad associates, — although the
person who led me astray was a most
distinguished, and a late President of the
British Association. From that day I
date my ruin. For, from that day. when-
ever smoking is going on, you may be
pretty sure that I join in it.

"There is a certain substantial kind
of satisfaction in smoking — if kept in
moderation — and I must say this for
tobacco — that it is a sweetener and
equalizer of the temper. I am glad to
state that, in my opinion, there is noth«
ing worst than excessive smoking; but
anyone could undertake to destroy him-
self with green tea, or any other article
of diet, if carried to excess."

The Medicinb Man.

SNUFF TAKING.

Some interesting notes on the habit of

ind women don' t. and I am told by one ' snuff taking are furnished by the German

of the ladies of the Alliance Employment

Bureau that I could not possibly address

myself to one better qualified to answer

me than yourself.

Mrs Irenb D

ANSWER.

If, when you say that women do not
smoke you mem all women, or even
only all self-respecting women you are
in error, because there are not only in
other parts of the civilized world but also
right here at home in the United States
a vast number of very good women who
do, and they indulge this habit for the
same reason that their husbands, brothers,
sons and fathers and sweethearts indulge
it, namely becaase it is a sure solace.
It is true that in the United States most
of the well-bred women who smoke,
smoke in private, but at many dinners
ladies smoke openly and no one thinks
the worse of them for it

authorities of the district known as the
Bavarian Forest The men there are
said to consume on an average half a
pound of snuff per day, the tobacco be-
ing mixed with ground glass, "to sting
oetter." The people in this district are
much given to violence, and attacks with
the knife are of daily occurrence. For
years the prison authorities experienced
great difficulties with their ch.irges on
account of their uniform obstinacy, and
finally hit upon the plan of depriving
them of snuff. They say that after a
while a great change for the better was
noticeable, the men becoming tractable
.md sensible of their degrading inhu-
manity.

—Because they smoked cigarettes when
they met at his house in Norwalk, Conn.,
Hanford Smith caused the disruption of
a recently organized drum corps of which
he was the leader.

The Monday Morning Br«.nd.

"ri

AVE a cigar?" said one lawyer

to another as they stood on the

police court steps in New York the other

day.

"Huh! What is it? A Monday morn-
ing cigar?" responded the other, holding
the weed to his nose.

The brand of cigars known as the
"Monday Morning" in all the police
couris of New York < ity is more remark-
able for its plenieousness than for its
good quality. The grist of Sunday ex-
cise arrests bring- many saloon keepers
and bartenders to court in their show
clothes and with their pockets bulging
with cigars.

They begin passing their cigars out
when they nod recognition to the police-
man at the court entrance and they keep
it up till every man with a shadow of
official authority has one. It is generous,
no doubt, but the odor that fills the court
corridors all of Monday has caused a
cynical Magistrate to remark that the
saloon men were out for revenge and
got it.

In a. Cigar Store in Allenlown, Pa.

"Hello. Peanuts," said the gay young
cigar salesman visiting AUentown the
other day to the proprietor of a prosper-
ous cigar store in that town which is so
famous for its peanuts, "how* s business?"

"Besser als effer," answered the genial
cigar dealer, ' 'what brands have you dis

time?"

"I've got every good seller in the line,"
said the salesman. "I'm doing a ped-
dling business now. I've got Gen.
Arthur3."

"What yet?" This is AUentown Eng-
lish for fair, and sounds funny anywhere
but in AUentown where it is as common
as peanuts.

"Why, Robert Burns," answered the
salesman, and this is just the correct
colloquial answer which every Allentowns-
man would have expected.
"What yet?"
"Why, Henry Irving."
"What yet? "
"Why, Gaston."
••What yet? "

"Why, Lord Lancaster."
"What yet?"

"That's all in ten cent goods. In
nickel cigars I've got Cincos."
"What yet?"
"Why, Manetos."
"What yet?"

"Why, the Philadelphia."
"What yet?"

"Why, the Pete Dailey."
"What yet?*"
"Why, Lipschutz"s '44'.*'
"What yet?""
"Why, Tahomas."
"What yet? "

••Why, Faugh- A-Ballaghs."
••What yet?"

"Notting yet, you exhausting Dutch-
man," said the salesman. "I've had

enough Pennsylvani.i Dutch for one day,
now give me an oider."

' 'AH right, old smoke peddler. I can
t,\lk yoosl so good English als yon, \ en
I v.tnt to, but I don't always do it be
cau-e I like to have fun sometimes mil
the boys, " ' answered the cigar store keeper
who is really a gentleman of wide culture,
"and now," he continued, "we will talk
English and business."

And he gave the visitor who had had

the wit to indulge his humor a very good

order.

Smoked Twenty-Three Yea.r».

The following news item will probably
tend to jar the nerves of those well-mean-
ing bui mistaken faddists whose hobby
is to denounce the use of tobacco in all
its forms:

interested, they should be notified by a ^
postilcird. The customers are likely 1
' to ;ip|)reci ite the notification for the in- j
formation it contains and will also be
gratified that the dealer las remembered

■ them.

' There are too many meich.mts who
have a fixed appropriation for advertising,'.
It is their custom to make contracts at
the beginning of the year and when the
appropriation is expended refuse to spend
another cent no matter how good a
proposition may be offered them. This
seems to be a wrong principle. Adver-
tising should be like anything else that is
to be bought. If an opportunity comes
to a merchant to buy good advertising
unusually cheap, he should take advan-
tage of it as quickly as if it were a bargain
in merchandise.

Points on Advertising.

Among useful suggestions on advertis-
ing found in trade journal-- the following;
are reprinted :

One excellent means by which the
retail cigar dealer can adve tise his busi-
ness is by the use of postal cards. When
he has received a special line of goods in
which certain customers are likely to be

Circulation is a term that is frequently
Used in adveriii^ing talk and is generally

; applied to newspapers or magaznes. Did
you ever stop to think of the < irculation

i each one of your customers has? Most of
them see and talk to a good many people
in a d y. They wil talk ah ut your
sto e accoriling 10 the wi) yt.u have
treated them, "ell or ill. We siy it
again. A plea-ed cusomer is the best
advertisement.

G'to I adveitising ma\ sell bad goods
but not twice to the s.ime per.-on.

In a booklet on cigars, appropriately
named "A Burning Ouestion," the
following smart cynicisms are a sample
of much other good advertising:

•'A man can give one to a friend or sell

one to a customer without losing either
of them."

'The kind tbat makes a man risk
burning his lip- to get the last whiff."

"A high priced article may be cheap
through having more intrinsic value than
its fellow, yet it does not follow that costly
things are always good."

Some firms never advertise. That is
where the adveitisers get their bankrupt
stock.

Advertising should never be an appe nd-
a-^e to a business. It should be a definite,
creative fictor. co-ordinated with all the
other depaitments. each of which should
contribute to and receive help from the
advertising department.

Store Hints and Suggestions.

Outside appearances are as important
with a store as with an individual. A
coat of fresh paint outside creates an im-
pression of prosperity within.

At a comparatively small outlay the
unsightly back room of the average cigar
store — which is usually given up to boxes,
dilapidated signs and filth generally—
could be fitted up as a smoking room,
with lavatory and other necessary con-
veniences, and turned into a club for the
great middle class of that immediate
vicinity.

A great many sales are lost and a
great deal of dead stock is carried in
cigar stores which are in the habit of
i having places behind or under the
counters in which to place them. This
1 stock is probably seldom overhauled. and
I these drawers and hiding places aie an
excellent c itch-basin for all sorts of
I goods, which are usually called "stickers"
and which ought to be out on the
' counters, w here they can be pushed more
than the ordinary. There should be no
place in the shop where goods can be
stowed away out of sight. If there is
plenty of room, it is better to have all
the stock above the counters--on the
shelving. Have no shelves below, so
that there will be no opportunity to put
things away out of sight. A gieat many
cigar stores, however, cannot do this,
as they are crowded for room, and it is
therefore, necessary, that a part of the
stock should be kept below the counter
board. If this is necessary, see that all
the goods, not in easy access, are looked
over at least once a week. If the goods
are kept out where they can be seen at
all times, they are very much more apt
to sell than if hidden away. The cigar
dealer is usually very careless about the
stock which is not easy to reach, and he
I vers se'dom takes the pains to look into
any of these odd places to find it to sell.
If a customer comes in and calls fur some
I particular brand of tobacco which he
! knows to be in such and such a place,
he usually goes and gets it; but if it is
in some place where there is any doubt
about finding it, he either says they
haven't got it or he won't take the pains
to look for it where he should.

LANCASTER. LEAF MARKET.

Demand is for 1902 Leaf— New Cigar
Factory for Strasburg — Death
of Mrs. A. R. Kauflfman—
Trade Briefs and
Personals.
Lancaster. Pa., March 23, 1903.
There has been little or no chanjje in
the condition of trade in leif tobacco
circles. Several sales of 1902 goods were
reported, but mostly m small lots. Con-
siderable of the 1902 Pennsylvania and
Connecticut which had undergone the
forced sweating process, has been placed
on the market and woiked up with very
satisfactory results. Those who have
used it say that the quality and texture of
the tobacco is all that can be desired. A
number of packers who have been en-

couraged by the results of the experiments
of forced fer nentation are having their
top grades and B s put through the process
in order to get them ready for market at
a much earlier tune than is usual. It is
conceded that the using of the 1902 crop
at such an early stage, in a measure
relegates for the present the 1901 goods
which is yet held so largely in the packers
hands. From present indications it is
unlikely that the 1901 crop will be called
into requisition at an early date.

Manufacturers report trade somewhat
quiet the past week. They are at a loss
to ki.ow what to attiibute the sudden
falling otf in orders.

The cigar factory whxh was agitated by
the citizens of Strasburg has at last
materialized, they having decided to
organize a company with J i 5.000 capital.
The charter applicants are R. B Leaman.
S. W. Brook. Charles W. Brenninger, B.
Frank Mowery, and B. F. Brown. The
company expects to begin operations in
the near future.

Mrs. Alice R. Kauffman, wife of John
A. Kauffman. the cigar manufacturer,
died Tuesday morning, March 17, at 6

0 clock, at their home on Columbia ave
nue, death being due to lung trouble.
Mrs. Kauffman was In her 36th year, and
was a native of Doyle-town, P;i. She is
survived by her husband and one child.
Mr. Kauffman has the sympathy of his
many friends and the trade in general in
his sad bereavement

John B. Oblinger and wife left this
week for an extended trip to Florida and
Havana.

Samuel Pioso. formerly connected with

1 the S. R. Moss Cigar Co. in the capacity

of assistant book-keeper, has assumed the
management of the Central Cigar Co. , at
Lititz, Pa., which position was made
vacant by the resignation of John G.
Mumma. who has recently embarked in
the cigar manufacturing business again
on his own account.

James D. Law, formerly manager of
the Havana Cigar Co.. and who recently
returned from a seven months' sojourn
abroad, yielding to the pressure of a large
host of friends, who have literally en-
couraged him. has decided to publish a
selection of his "Letters of TraveL" The
book will consist of 300 pages and the
title selected will be "Here and Therein
Two Hemispheres."

J. B. Koser & Co. report trade very
good and are receiving encouraging
orders on the Aunt Peggy and Davy Jones
brands.

Max Bamberger, of L Bamberger &
Co.. Philadelphia, Pa., spent several
hours in town Saturday, calling on many
friends in the trade.

Xenophen Hanna, of Hanna Bros.,
Dayton, 0.. stopped off in Lancaster to
close deals he had pending. Mr. Hanna,
by the v^ay. is a distant relative of
Senator Mark Hanna.

Juluis Fox was in town several days
this week, completing arrangements for
the removal of his family to Philadelphia
where he is now permanently and suc-
cessfully located.

Sam Kauffman was in town this week
paying his respects to the tnide.

John Oberhelman, of Cincinnati, O.,

The Wert Factory Open and Busy— The
Boyer Reception— A Coming Wed-
ding—Personals, Trade Notes.

York, Pa., March 23, 1903.
As this is the time during which most
of the contracts with growers of tobacco
state delivery, scarcely a day passes
without some tobacco being received by
agents throughout the county. On Tues-
day a quantity, the yield from about
thirty acres was delivered at the P. R. R.
depot for shipment to Mountville, Lan-
caster Co. In Wrightsville, on the same
day several car loads were shipped to J.
Shirk and another large shipment on the
following day to the same party in Lan-
caster. D. S. Detwiler also continues to
receive large quantities.

Pa., is reported to be increasing very
favorably. A large amount of tobacco
was received by him during the week
which he dispose of to manufacturers in
his vicinity.

The factory which was to be opened
by George Wert on Clark avenue, on
April I, was opened some time before
and at the present time is working with
a full force of cigarmakers. As this is
a union factory it affords an opportunity
for workmen who belong to the organ
ization to ply their trade in a union
factory.

' D. B. Boyfr the proprietor of the
Market street cigar store, on Tuesday
evening, tendered a reception at Har-
lacke'rs restaurant to about twenty-five
! of his friends. Mr. Boyer lately returned
' from his wedding trip and during the
reception was ably assisted in entertain-
ing by his wife.

coming wedding of Lion Jandorff, of
Buffalo, N. v., and Bertha Goodman, of
I this city. Mr. Jandorff is the affable
salesman for Kaiser & Boasberg, Buffalo.
Duiing the week cigar stamps were
stolen from the factory of A. C. Fry in
Red Lion. The value of the stamps was
over $20.00, An entrance was also
made to the factory of I. Stump in the
same place and about I70.00 worth of
Sumatra tobacco was taken. As )et no
i clue to the thieves have been found.

D. A. Shreiver, of D. A. Shreiver &
Co., was absent from the city on F"nday
on a business visit to Lancaster.

J. Livingston, of Carlisle, circulated
amongst the trade here during the early
part of the week. This gentlemen con-
trols the output of several large factories
in this vicinity.

dealer in leaf tobacco made his first visit
to this section last week and was agree-
ably surprised at the large amount of
tobacco trade in this vicinity.

THE SECRET OF NR. DUKE'S
SUCCESS.

"The one straight road to success is to
learn to love your business," said James
Buchanan Duke, as I sat with him two
days ago. "A man must love his busi-
ness better than he loves anything else
if he would make success sure. It is the
true, the only way. We employ more
than a hundred thousand persons in our
vast tobacco business, and as the director
ol ibis force 1 never f til to observe that
the man who works only because he is
paid to work hijs no chance in competi-
tion with the man who works because he
would sooner do than anything else. It
is the practical secret of succes-. This
tobacco business is my pastime, as well
as my duty. I never fish or hunt. Those
things m'ean hard work, and there isn't
as much fun in them as there is in busi-
ness.

• A man can do best that which he
loves best,' he said. "If he has started
in a business which he cannot learn to
love, then he should go into some other
busine^s. He will never succeed in this
age of competition unless he can find
real pleasure in his work. The making
of money is not a sufficient incentive.
He must find his liighest enjoyment in
the task itself. No man who works
along that line can fail. That is my
judgment, based on my own experience
and my obscivation." — James Creelman
in New York Sunday World, March 22.

THE TOBACCO WORLD

►

Bureau of The Tobacco World, ii Burling Slip.

The manager of one of the larger fac- j
tories operated by ihe Uniied Cigtr |
Manufacturers and who is in the confi-
dence of the officers of that corporation i
at headquarters in this city, is responsible
for the statement, that during the twelve
months ended March i the United Cigar
Manufacturers did a business of $8,000 -
000. and made a profit in round figures
of just $1,000,000. The company is
capitaUzed at 57,000,000. Its total out-
put for the twelve months mentioned was
about 250,000,000 cigars. Since these
sold for J8, 000, 000 the average price per
thousand was about $32. This is a
modest computation because the Rcibeit
Burns, the General Aithur, and the Tom
Moore are brands that retail at ten cents
and the corporation sells vast numbers of
them. The manager whose statements
arc being reported points attention to the
fact that every department of business of
the United Cigar Manufacturers is in
charge of the man best qualified to handle
it No one needs to be told that Jas.
Wertheim is a most successful sales
manager; that Edward A. Kerbs is a
most expert buyer of Sumatra and Havana
tobaccos; that Walter A. Schiffer is one
of the ablest office managers in the
country; that Fred Hirschhorn is a very
Napoleon among factory managers; that
Charley Hirschhorn possesses a magnetic
personality, and if there is on earth any
man who can sign chec ks with mote
grace than Mark Mack his name is not
engraven on the bead-roll of fame.

Then there are the men who come next
to these chief officers of the corporation :
Sol B. Lichtenstein. who has charge of
the factory at Lancaster, Pa; Billy Brill,
so well known in Wisconsin and in the
New York leaf district; Louis Cohn,
superintendent of the factory at Second
avenue and 54th street in this city, and
so on, down a long line of thoroughly
competent men, each of whom under-
stands his business from the ground up,
who has been long in the service of the
house, and who is heart and soul devoted
to the success of the business. |

It may be that the foregoing reads like
a carefully prepared "puff" intended to
"jolly" a corporation amply able to repay
the compliment. But that is not the ob-
ject with which it is written. The
explanation given above of the success
of the United Cigar Manufacturers lays
stress upon the competency for their
duties of every officer and employe of
the corporation. That competency is |
manifested every day and uniformly in
the same way every day, chiefly by an
intelligent devotion to present duties.
The cigar manufacturing business is a
staple business, it engages the energies
and ambitions of many thousands of
bright people, and the fact is that the
most successful among these thousands
are the men who. like the officers and
employes of the United Cigar Manufac-
turers, study every detail of their business.
Pennsylvania has many such men, con-
spicuous cigar manufacturers in Philadel-
phia, Lancaster, Heading and elsewhere,
who are shining proofs that cigar manu-
facturing is a better business today than
ever it was. no matter what the calamity
howlers, the trust busters, and that
numerous class of pei sons who are forever
ruining their own lives by attending too

strictly to the concerns of other people, '
may say. \

There is one rule which every success-
ful cigar manufacturer in the U^nited
States uniformly follows. That was the
rule laid down by Mr. Joseph V. Cullman
in the paper which he contributed to The
Tobacco World several months ago: Keep
your factory full of good tobacco. Don't
buy leaf from hand to mouth.

To show how thoroughly the United
Cigar Manufacturers believe in this
motto it may be stated that the corporation
has on hand at present a stock of 10,000
cases of old Pennsylvania broadleaf of the
1900 crop. And this is only one item
among the long list of tobaccos, imported
' and domestic, which the company utilizes.
! It is computed that of old tobaccos,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio it has
on hand enough for 300,000,000 cigars
— its estimated output for next year, and
fully 50,000 cases of new tobaccos of the
types named.

thy means.

Marco Fleishman, of S. Rossin & Sons,
returned on Man h 18 from his visit to
his firm's packing houses in Havana.

Aleaf merchant of this city has recently
had some interesting correspondence on
the subject of Cub in reciprocity with U.
S. Senator W. A. Clark. Senator Clark
is a Democrat and is opposed to reciproc-
ity. He asked the New York man to
furnish to him a statement of just about
how many people there are in the leaf
business and the cigar industry, and in
businesses allied with these, who would
be likely to be injured by a reduction of
20 per cent, in the present duties on leaf
tobacco and cigars from Cuba. The New
York man had never himself thought of
this matter in detail but when he sat
down to answer Senator Clark's letter
which, by the way. he did in a completely
satisfactory way. he was amazed to find
how the list of ancillary industries
I stretched itself out on paper. The leaf
men, that is the men engaged in the
importing, or packing, or jobbing, or
retailing of cigar leaf tobaccos number
about 2.000; their salesmen or agents
number as many more; there are about
22,000 cigar manufacturers in the United
States, about 5.000 of whom employ say
two salesmen each; the total number of
operatives in cigar factories is estimated
! at 350,000; the total number of people
employed in the packing season in ware-
houses in New York State, in Pennsyl-
vania, in New England, in Florida, in
Ohio and in Wisconsin cannot be far
short of 10,000; there are at least i.ooo.-

000 places in the United States deriving
an income of some sort from the retailing
of cigars; there must be at least 30.000
people in the United States engaged in
the growing of cigar leaf tobacco, and in
addition to all these legions of people
there are the cigar box makers, the cigar
label lithographers, the cigar ribbon
weavers, each with their thousands of
employes of one kind and another, so that
thegrand total of American citizens likely
to be injuriously affected by the proposed

1 reduction of 20 per cent, in the present
duty on cigar leaf and cigars is so vast as
to arrest the respectful attention of any

vote seeking politician. The trouble is
that until the lener to Senator Clark,
above described, was written the matter
was never put in a way calculated to give
politicians a correct notion of the number
and kinds of people concerned in this
matter. It is the domestic cigar and the
hundieds of thousands of people who
have to do with the manufacturing or the
selling of it, which a reduction of 20 per
cent, in the duty on cigars would harm,
and to protect it should be from now on
the unflinching purpose of every inteili-
, gent member of the trade.

Robert ("lans, of Max Gans & Son,
desires his friends in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere, to know that on March 13,
he became the proud father of a beauti-
ful little daughter.

* •

Jose Palma, son of Tomas Estrada
Palma. President of the Cuban Republic,
and Miss Mabel Jacobs, the 19-year-old
daughter of David C. Jacobs, of the cigar
manufacturing firm of Charles Jacobs &
Co., of this city, were married on March
II, by the Rev. Duncan J. McMillan in
the study adjoining the New York Pres-
byterian church at Seventh avenue and
128th street, of which Dr. McMillan is
pastor. The groom, who is 20 years old.
is a second year law student at Columbia
University. Immediately after the mar- j
riage the party drove to the bride' s home
at 362 West 1 2 1st street Jose stayed to
dinner and then went to his apartments
on Riverside Drive. On March 13, he
left for Washington to have the matter
put before his father.

The father of the bride did not learn
of the marriage until the evening of
March 19.

"Jose," he said, "is a fine young man
and 1 don't know of anybody else I
would prefer to have for a son, but it
would have been better if he had waited
for a year or so, or at least until he had
finished his course at Columbia."

"I met Jose last election day, ' said
the bride. "He came to the house with
my brother Hamilton, who is an artist
We fell in love with each other at first
sight and have known that we were going
to get married for some time, but we
tiidn" t say anything because Jose thought
that his father might object and I knew
that my parents thought we were both

too young, although not a word had ever
been said to them in regard to our mar-
riage."

Mrs. Palma said that Jose told the
minister that he was 21 years old, but
she couldn't remember whether or not
they had said that their parents had
consented.

Mr. McMillan says that he did not
know he was marrying the President of
Cuba's son when he performed the cere-
mony.

He says that the young man told him
that he was 2 1 years old and that both
declared that their parents did not object
to the marriage.

"But the young man," said the clergy-
man, "conducted himself entirely above
board and in a perfectly manly manner. "

After Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs had for-
given their daughter a reception was held
on the evening of March 19, and the
house was filled with friends. Jose was
expected back from Washington, but he
did not get there.

Mrs. Palma is a slender girl of medium
height, with black hair and eyes

TheCubanMinister,SenordeQuesada,
says that President Palma approves of
his son's choice of a wife.

Nothing could be more delightfully
appropriate than that the son of the
President of the Cuban Republic should
marry the daughter of a cigar manufac-
turer, because the existence of an in-
dependent Cuba among the nations of
the world is due to the contributions of
the cigarmakers to the revolutionary fund.

The Hilson Company, capital $1,000,-
000, was incorporated at Trenton, N.
J., on March 19, to grow tobacco and to
manufacture cigars and cigarettes. The
incorporators are Edward Hilson, Leo
W. Mayer and Josiah T. Wilcox. Mr.
Wilcox is the assistant secretary of the
American Tobacco Company.

Mrs. Annie T. Colell, widow of the
late Herman Colell, for more than 40
years a leaf merchant in Chatham Square,
and Comte Robert de Montlord, formerly
of Paris, France, were married in St
Francis Xavier's church Brooklyn, on
March 17, by the Rev. Father Hickey.

merchants of this city is as loyal and as
industrious as "Scotty ' it is small wonder

ail of which was a violation of tlie Blue
Law of 1794. Counsel f^r the prosecu-
tion therefore asked that the defendants
be adjudj^ed guilty and lined each $4 and
costs under the Act of 1794.

Foimer Judge Gordon, who virtually
represented the defendants, addrebsed
the court at length and vigorously at-
tacked the ancient Blue Law. He first
charged that theinfoimations upon whii h
the warrants were issued were defec-
tive, inasmu h as they did not set
forth that the "worldly employment'
{^ I ^ . M--4h€ alleged defendants had perfornnd

were "not works of charity or nee essity."
as they were bound to do to make the
warrants legal. He again held that the
prosecution had failed to make a case,
because of lack of adequ ite proof that
defendants had violated the law. Again,
he raised the que>tion: "What woildly
employment sh. ill be classified as charita-
ble and necessaiy?" and "who," accord-
ing to the 1794 statute, "is to dt-terminf;
what worldly employment'- are charitable
and necessary?" He held t'uit the Act,
by lapse of time, if nothing else, has be-
come invalid, and if left alone will "burst
of its own inflation !"

Counsel's address, although long, was
carefully listened to by the 1 irge number
of interested persons present, and is con-

Senators favored amending the Treaty
so that men in the leaf business would
receive commensurate benefits. The
cigar importer may benefit by the Treaty
to the extent oi f\o per thousand in the
reduction of duty, but to the American
clear Havana filled cigar manufacturer
it would mean a decrease of duty of only
about$i. 26 per thousand cigars. Hence,
it is plainly evident that a great injustice
has been done the cigar industry as well
as the leaf tobacco interests.

"A majority of those who opposed the
contirmaticjn of the Treaty can now rejoice
at its prospects (?).

"The amendments that were affixed to
the document, viz: 'Providing no further
reduction for a period of five years;*
•that the Cubans grant a 30 per cent
reduction in their tarifil'on flour, wheat,
corn and meal,' and the proviso, above
all, that it must be approved by Con-
gress, simply means that the Treaty will
not be taken up for nine months. It
further means that it will be dealt with
in the midst of a mulitude of other very
important l^ills, and amendments the
Senate will not accept, and a possible
chance that the changes so made in it
will render it unacceptable to the Cuban
Government As the matter now stands
there is no Treaty. The whole work will
have to begone over again to become a
treaty and finally effective."

SEVERAL MORE LOS.
Several more Indian ef^gies, that do,
service in front of cigar stores as adver-
tisements, have been noticed by a To-
bacco World representative. One gaud-
ily painted Redskin is found in front ot
M. Winer's store at 11 39 North Second
street, and he is remarkable for having a
very straight up and down back. The
back, in fact, looks as if the carpenter
had concluded to finish his Indianship in
a hurry, and had used a pline. Mr.
Winers brave is staring very hard across
the street into the cigar factory of Charles
Ziegler. He seems to be quite interested
in Mr. Ziegler's window displiy of his
'•A. Z. " 5-cent brand of cigars.

A very attractive Indian maiden is
found in front of I^uis Bleiman's store,
North Second street. This Miss Poca-
hontas is holding aloft a fine bunch of
wooden cigars, and it would seem as if
she wanted passers-by to help them-
selves. Miss Redskin wears a primitive
red jacket and ditto blue skirt with a
lovely yellow fringe.

A very good specimen of Indian to-
bacco statue is to be found guarding the
entrance to Chailes Links co/.y cigar
store, 1613 Ciermantown avenue. This
noble wooden Redskin has a really
benevolent face, but seems to sufifer from
tracked feet.

Many small wooden statues of Indians,
Mr. Punch, Pocahontas, and colored
pickaninnies, can be seen in front of
cigar stores in various parts of the city,
and it is to be remarked that they are often
chained down. Perhaps the reason ol
this is that the owner is afraid his sign
may run away. But more likely the
owner is afraid his sign may be bodily
kidnapped. Such cases have occurred.

SAM Ml'Sr MOVE.

Samuel Knight, a popular cigar dealer
at Frankford avenue and Bridge street,
will soon remove to another location, as
his present quarters are to be torn down
to make way for the new monster car-
barns to be erected on that site by the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.

WARNINCi CIRCULARS.
The Business Men's Association of
Germantown distributed a circular, on
March 19th, among the cigar ;ind tobacco
dealers of that part of the city, warning
them not to sell cigarettes or tobacco to
any person under the age of 16 years.
Violators of this ordinance will be prose-
cuted, and will be subject to a fine of not
tnore than f 300.

PIPE FACTORY DAMAGED.

An unusual number of fires which have

taken place in the northeastern section of

Philadelphia have led the police tosuspect

that they were of incendiary origin.

Among the sufferers by fire were Block
& Shaw, manufacturers of smoking pipes
whose plant is on Emerald street. Satur-
day last a fire of unknown origin dam-
aged their buildings and stock to the
extent of (600.

CUT PRICE WAR.
It is obvious to the observer of tobacco
store display windows that a fairly active
cut price war is being waged. The
United Cigar Stores are quoting some low
prices on cigars and cut plug tobaccos
and so also are many retailers and inde-
pendent jobbers.

PRETTY GIRLS STRIKE.

A large number of the female workers
at the Vicente Portuondo cigar f.ictory
went out on a strike last Saturday because
as they allege, a new forewoman, recently
employed, had made herself very ob-
jectionable by disch irging without cause
and otherwise doing things which made
the "girls" angry. It is cpiite likely that
Mr. Portuondo will amicably adjudicate

the matter soon.

A NEW ALLENTOWN FACTORY.

the market. His efforts are reported to
be meeting with good results.

is felt that the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty,
if ratisfied by the Cuban Senate, will
fail to become operative, through the
conflicting amendments inserted by the
Senate of the United States.

There is now no prospect of a formal
physical exchange of ratifications by
March 31, even should the Cuban Senate
agree to the Senate's amendments on the
first day of its session, but the ratifica-
tions could be nominally exchanged by
telegraph and the actual exchange take
p'ace later. To exchange ratifications
by telegraph is regarded as a somewhat
irregular proceeding by the State Depart-
ment, but where neither party to the ex-
change raises objection it may be done
in a manner recognized as legal.

The conflicting statements in the
American draft of the convention, that
it shall become effective one year from
the exchange of ratifications and that it
shall not become effective until ratified
by "the Congress," are not regarded as
presenting difficulties that require further
amendment to overcome. The main
concern now is that the Cuban Senate
may not agree to the amendments made
by the American Senate. It is believed,
however, that the upper house of the
Cuban Congress will consider these
changes in a liberal spirit, and, whatever
its disposition may be, will try to con-
clude its work before March 31.

San Francisco, March 17, 1903.
The leaf tobacro business during the
last week has been dull and unsteady,

r ess will soon be very active. Whole-

in a humdrum way. The many deals
offered do not seem to make much im-
p ession on trade, v^hith is steady, but
not rushing.

The FnitiHl Cigar NLinufa«turers. of

the offer of the LaCrosse ('handier of
Commerce of n site on which to er»><-t a
hirge warehouse. They nmy locate it at
I*ortag«'. Wis., instead. William S.
Brill, who rejiri'sents the New York
conqiany. has submited a proposition
to the business men of Portage which
calls for the erection, by local oipital of a
warehouse which tiie I'nitctI Cigar >Lin-
nfacturers will lease for a period of ten
years or longer at a rental that shall
be t» per c«-nt. on the investment. The
«-onqiany already has .-i large warehouse

the nnitter that he would prefer a

W. S. Heddles. of the Heddles Lum-
ber Ctunpany. Ktlgerton. has recently
invented a tobacco case which is believ«il
to be an imiiroveinent over anything that
lias yet be«'ii |Mit on the market. The
new invention lies in a iletachable cover
that ••an be removed quickly without
the drawing of nails and at the same time
pH'serves the strength of the t-ase. The
new «'ase> ean be offen'd at only :i slight
advance over the ordinary box. and this
can be saved in labor at sampling. A
few samples will be introduced this sea-

Wisconsin raises as much tcdtacco as
it does bread: or. in other words, the
value of the tobacco crop ecjuals that
<tf the wheat <-rop. In indnt of value the
tcdiacco crop also cciuals the cheese in-
dustry of the Stale. Knch of these in-
dustries is estimated to brinn about $7.-
»MM>.(MH» )| yc ar to the people of the State.
The t<d)acc<) industry. lik<> the cheese
business, is contined to a few sections
of the State. Crawford c-ounty is fast
workinjr its way to the front in tobacco
culture.

It is estimated that the leaf crop in
Wisconsin Insi year anirn-nated ahnnt
7<t.(HM».«KK> pounds, which at the con

<t rvative pric f !<► cents a pound would

!«• worth .$7.<Hi«>.«MHI. Last week a sale
was mach- at Ivlnerton at L'l'ij cents a
pound, but not much of the product
lirinns that price. Considering the acre-
age, tcdiac 'o is proiiably the most profit-
able crop grown in the State. Last
year about 4.".<MM> acres of tcdiacco were
grown in this State against .'»."»! >.fH)(> acres
of wheat. ."••HMKMl ,,f barley, and 2.'i<».0()0
of potatoes, all of whicli c-rops were
about ec|u:il in |H)int of value. It is
eslimated that the ytcdcl of tcdiacco an
acre was 1«!(H> ponnds. whic-h at !<• cents
a pound brought the grower .fl<M>. It
can be s«H'n from tliis that few agrictd-
tnral c-r..ps are inor«' profitable to the
farmer.

CONNECTICIT VALLEY.
With the growers there is not much
stir in the tobacco trade. With the out-
look in the near future of the establish-
ment of the corporation warehouse or
warehouses, the local bianches taking
stock in the valley corporation, the grower
seems to be assured of a competent man
or men to deal with the buyers' corpora-
tion or trust, and as a consetjuence the
growe s are not offering, nor are the
buyers seeking. In my opinion there
is a firmer demand than at a correspond-
ing date last month. I notice a few sales
and at as good or better rates than any
prices given last month, or thus far this
month. A contemporary, in speaking
of the corporation, says: "While the
acreage pledged to the proposed New
England Tobacco Growers' Corporation
is rolling in steadily, it would be an easy
matter to close up the work of the organ-
ization if every grower would interest
himself actively in the matter of securing
pledges for the 5,000 acres at once.

One of the most enthusiastic in the
work is Albert Ford of Sufifield, Ct. In
his own local district by a little personal
work he has secured the pledges of 353
acres. Meetings have been held in Hat-
field, Whately and Conway, and are to
be held in other towns. In the various
towns there seems to be men enough if
they could be assured of the success of
the organization. It is said that over
1,000 planters of 3,000 acres or more
have already suscribed to the proposed
tobacco corporation. The list may be
larger by the time the shareholders are
called together. The meetings have all
been addressed by wide-awake men, who
not only understand the growing, but the
assorting and force weating and aUo
the selling of not only their own crops,
but that of other' s raising. The sales are
very few and not very pleasing to the
grower.

Our correspondents report as follows:

Hinsdale:

Boyle of Hatfield, Mass. ; William Fails,

4 acres of 1901 crop reported, loc; L

Wellman. 2, 700 pounds, one-half at loc,

the balance at 5c in bundle. There are

several other crops in town not sold, as

good as ever raised in town. "

Conway: "I have to report the sale

of two lots, J. B. Pockard and Charles

Willis (S: Son, to Pease, of Hatfield, Mass.,

at IOC in the bundle. — American Culti-
vator.

BALDWINSVILLE. N. Y.
The improved condition of the roads
has been taken advantage of during the
past few days and the buyers who are in
the market have purchased a number of
crops. J. Wallace Lee, representing
Gieske & Niemann, of Baltimore, is
reported as having bought a number of
crops in the bundle and on Monday a
large amount of tobacco was received by
his firm. Northrop & Son, of Lysander,
are still in the market and are handling
their purchases at their warehouse in
Lysander, where they have a large force
engaged in assorting. Representatives
of Farnham & Reynolds, of Corning, have
bought a number of crops during the past
few days and are receiving today at the
D. , L & W, R. R. freight station, ship-
ment being made to Corning. Among
the recent purchases of this firm are the
followmg: Nisse Peterson, qcs at 7c;
Daboll & Kinney, 2ics at 9c; Daboll &
Cleverly, 8cs at 6|^c; C. M. Snow, 130$
at 8c; Willis Walker, I2cs at 8c; Burr
(biddings, 3,000 lbs. at 5c in bundle;
Simon Bulger, 6,coo lbs. at 6c in bundle;
Wm. Ellison, 2,000 l^s. at 4*ic in

at 5c in bundle. — Gazette.

EDGERTON, WIS.
Another week of bad roads has inter-
fe ed with the movement of tobacco men,
both in regards to purchases from country
hands and also holding back deliveries
as well. Some new goods are being sold
but trading is mainly in the cheaper

grades and in some cases under sacrifice
I have to report the sales because of the indicitions of an early

of two lots of tobacco the past week to spring.

The length of the rainy spell is almost
unprecedented, and the delay in sowing
a full proportion of the plant beds may
result in the plantings being later than
usual.

The Mississippi river has not been
able to carry within its banks the floods
that have pouted into it, with the conse-
quence of broken levees and lands over-
flowed for many miles with much loss
of property and some lives, and perhaps
the worst has not yet come.

The Value of Trade Paper Advertising.

TRUE TOBACCO ROMANCES.
XIV.— What Tobacco Did for "Hans Breilmann.*

BY EUGENE VALLENS.

IF you have a brand of cigars in whose merits as an article of mer
chandise you yourself believe, the best thing you can do, in my
judgment, is to advertise it largely and constantly in the tobacco trade
papers. That was the plan which I originated and to which I was
constantly faithful throughout my career as a manufacturer. I am con-
vinced that the success my firm's brands achieved was largely due to
this method of advertising them. Cigar manufacturers nowadays do a |
great deal of talking, whenever the subject of advertising is broached j
among them, about "going directly to the consumer" with their brands; 1
yet I have noticed that very few of these gentlemen do any advertising
whatsoever. Their cards do not appear in the trade papers; their posters
do not decorate the fences or blank walls of the great centers of popula-
tion, nor do the daily newspapers profit in any way from their patronage.
If a poster or a good sized advertisement in a daily newspaper, or in the
pages of a weekly or monthly periodical of general circulation, were at
all a certain means of making known the merits of a brand of cigars,
those media of publicity would be utilized by manufacturers far more
than they are at present.

The reason why cigar advertising in daily newspapers is not
profitable is that smokers do not look for cigar advertisements in their
favorite dailies. Their eye catches only that which it is looking for.
The men folks who read the daily newspapers skim through them; it is
the women who read the advertisements, and that is why the big depart-
ment stores take whole pages every day.

It is also the ladies who are in the great majority among the
readers of the weekly and monthly periodicals, and the ladies do not
buy cigars excepting at Christmas, and then they always make ludicrous
mistakes, as the professional humorists never fail to point out.

Many manufacturers of cigars say that no sort of advertising pays;
that the only way to get orders is to drum for them. I cannot believe
that those who say these things can ever have given attention to the
subject of advertising. To some of them any advertising proposition,
however convincingly put, is unwelcome, because the profits to be
looked for are remote. To others the initial outlay seems too great.
And yet these manufacturers, I mean all of them, see in their trade
papers, week after week and year after year, the large advertisements of
competitors who find trade paper advertising the same successful way
to get business that I found it. Strange, isn't it?

Brands of cigars advertised in the trade papers do not go "directly
to the consumer," it is true, but they are seen by the very men whose
good will is most to be desired, and to constantly advertise a brand in a
trade paper is to make it so familiar to this valuable member of the trade
that sooner or later he is sure to send in an order for it. Then, too,
salesmen employed by manufacturers find it easy sailing to sell cigars
properly advertised in the trade papers. The salesman who comes
along with a non-advertised cigar is apt to find that both he and his
brand are unwelcome strangers.

If the advertising rates of the tobacco trade papers were high, I
could understand why cigar manufacturers should be apathetic about
using these media, but they are so very moderate that I am astonished
the weekly issue of each of them is not as big as an unabridged die
tionary .

The smokers of the present day do not buy tobacco— they buy
brands. No one knows this better than those who advertise their cigars
in the trade papers. They advertise in the trade papers because they
want to make their brands known to the man behind the counter, the
very man. namely, who has the opportunity to bring their brands
"directly to the consumer." In my opinion, they are very wise to
follow this plan.

Charles Godfrey Leland, who died in
Florence, Italy, on March 20, at the age
of 79, is a conspicuous instance of what
a life long addiction to the smoking habit
can do for a fine literary brain, which is
an intelligible way of saying something
that he would have said much better.

Leland was well known in Philadelphia
in the early days of the civil war as the
assistant editor of the Philadelphia Even-
ing Bulletin, but the whole book-loving
world willalwaysrememberhimgratefully
as the author of the delightful Hans
Hreitmann Ballads, as the translator of
Heine's poems and for a great number of
books on the gypsies, on the folklore of
Italy, and on many other subjects. His
memoirs, published by D. Appleton &
Co., in 1893, are among the most enjoy-
able books of their kind ever written.

In his youth Leland was very delicate,
even sickly. He says it was not until he
had learned to smoke that he began to
grow strong. He took to smoking as a
duck takes to water. His fiirst cigar did
not nauseate him, On the contrary it
refreshed and invigorated him, cleared
his brain and stimulated the sluggish
action of the gastric juices. In short,
smoking made a man of Charles Godfrey
Leland. The best way to make clear
how Leland was in very truth a favorite
child of the Goddess Nicotia is to quote
his own story of an experience of his
while a freshman at Princeton. He says:
"It was usual for Freshmen to learn to
smoke for the first time after coming to
college, and for more advanced students
to go to their rooms, or find them in
others, and smoke them sick or into
retreating. I, however, found a source
of joy in this, that I could now sit almost
from morning till night, and very often
on to three in the morning, smoking all
the time, being deeply learned in Varinas,

Kanaster, and the like; for I smoked
nothing but real Holland tobacco, while
I could buy it. A party of Sophomores
informed George Boker that they in-
tended to smoke me out. 'Smoke him
out :' quoth George ; 'why he" d smoke the
whole of you dumb and Wind. * However,
it came to pass that one evening several
of them tried it on; and verily they might
as well have tried it on to Niklas Henker-
wyssel, who, as the legend goes, sold his
soul to the devil for the ability to smoke
all the time, to whom my father had once
compared me. So the cigars and tobacco
were burned, and I hked it extremely.
Denser grew the smoke, and the windows
were closed, to which I cheerfully as-
sented, for I liked to have it thick; ar \
still more smoke and more, an'' ^

young gentleman who had c«.
smother me grew pale, evt
Porcupines grew pale when they tried to
burn out the great Indian sorcerer, who
burned them! But I, who was beginning
to enjoy myself amazingly in such con-
genial society, only filled Boker's great
meerschaum with Latakia, and puffed
away. One by one the visitors also
'puffed away,' i. e., vanished through
the door into the night.

' • 'Shall I open the window?' asked

George.

" "Not on my account,' I replied, 'I

rather enjoy it as it is. '

" 'I begin to believe,' replied my
friend, 'that you would like it in Dante's
hell of clouds. Do you know what those
men came here for ? It was to smoke
YOU out. And you smoked them out,
and never knew it.' Which was perfectly
true. As for smoking, my only trouble
was to be able to buy cigars and tobacco.
These were incredibly cheap in those
days, and I :ilways dressed very respect-
ably, but my smoking always cost me
more than my clothing."

THE DISTRIBUTING DEPOT AT 705-
707 THIRD AVENUE. NEW YORK.

Preparations are rapidly going forward
at 705-707 Third avenue for the occu-
pancy of those buildings as a distributing
depot by the Retail Cigar and Tobacco
Dealers' Association of Greater New
York. The buildings were formerly utilized
as a retail furniture store and are well
fitted for the display of merchandise.
Samples of all premiums to be distributed
in exchange for Association coupons will
be exhibited here. The meetings of the
Association are also hereafter to be held
at 705-707 Third avenue.

Robert K. Lane, who occasionally
speaks in a way to mystify his friends,
led the reporters who were present at
the meeting in Maennerchor Hall on the
evening of March 24 to believe that the
Universal Tobacco Company had made
a free gift to the Retailers' Association, for 5 cents.
of some kind of a manufacturing plant
worth 55,000, when he spoke of that
Company's co-operation with the Asso-
ciation's committee. E. V. D. Paul of
the U. T. Co. says Mr. Lane referred not

THE TOBACCO WORLD 5

WHAT $1.00 WILL DO.

The subscription price to The Tobacco World
has been reduced, and is now only |1.(KI per year.
It is the first and only tobacco paper in the
world, published weekly at One Dollar the year.

Subscriptions are payable invariably in ad-
vance, and reniitiances may be made by bank
check, post office money order, or in postage
stamps. Foreign rates are $2.00 per annum.

The Tobacco World is the best of all Tobacco
Papers because:

1. It is conducted by men whose technical knowl
edge of every branch of the tobacco trade and its
ancillary industries is most thorough, and whose
personal acquaintance in the trade is most extensive.

2. The Tobacco World treats all questions and all
individuals and corporations with absolute fairness.

3. The Tobacco World voices the sentiments of
the trade and all its branches on all public questions.

4. The Tobacco World is always the first to
give the news.

5. The circulation of The Tobacco World is so
large that its advertising patrons may confidently
count upon returns.

6. The Tobacco World's advertising rates are
always reasonable, and correspondence on this
subject is solicited from the trade.

> 7. The Tobacco World numbers among its
volunteer contributors the best informed and most
widely known and influential members of the trade
in the United SUtes, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in the
Philippines, in Mexico and Central America, in
South America, in Europe, in ludiaand in Australia.
A single contribution from any of these persons is
worth many times the cost of a year's subscriptioii.

8. During ltM)U the most striking novelty in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series, whirh
began on Januarv 1, with a chapter entitled "The
Truth AbouttheDiscoverv of Tobacco," contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosen wald &
Bro , of New York, and now the presi<lent of the
National Cigar Leaf Association, ended on December
1.'4 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester,
N. H. Each of the other fif\y chapters was con-
tributed by a different, but equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjovable as to make the " Comic
History of Tobacco' bv Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of To
bicco" will be published in book form, handsomely
bound in cloth, and l)eautifully illustrated, and will
»>e sent to any a«ldress in the United States, Porto
Rico or the Philippines on receipt of f 1. 00. postage
prepaid. Two dollars will pav for an annual sub-
scription to The Tobacco World and for the '•Comic
History of Tobacco."

• J. The Medicine Man. trusted and beloved by all
readers of The Tobacco World, will continue
throughout l\H\S to pour out the treasures of his
learning and the geniality of his unfailing good
humor for the benefit of his friends among the pale-
faces. A year under the instruction of the Medicine
Man is a li'>eral education.

10. If vou want a tenth reason for enrolling your
name on The Tobacco World's sul)scription list
look into your own heart and ask yourself this
question : '" Why should not I read what all U'y
brothers in the trade are rea<ling each week with
delight and profit, in order that I may \)C as well
posted as thev ? "

MR. VALLENS' PAPER..

The attention of every reader of The
Tobacco World is courteously directed to
the paper by Mr. Eugene Vallens pub-
lished this week ' 'On The Value of Trade
Paper Advertising." Mr. Vallens talks
sense. That is one reason why his paper
is interesting. But his paper is chiefly
valuable because the method of advertis-
ing recommended by Mr. Vallens is that
which he himself practised with the most
gratifying results throughout his own con-
spicuously successful career as a cigar
manufacturer.

The only proper way to advertise a ci-
gar is to advertise it big and all the time
in the columns of the trade paper, and
the columns of The Tobacco World are
more valuable than those of any other
tobacco paper, because The Tobacco
World reaches everybody who is worth
reaching.

Take Mr. Vallens' advice and advertise
your brands in the trade papers, and par-
ticularly in The Tobacco World. Don't
be disappointed if orders do not come
flowing in immediately after the first in-
sertion. Keep everlastingly at it That
is what Mr. Vallens did and he was satis-
fied with the results. It's what other suc-
cessful cigar manufacturers have done,
are doing, and will continue to do. If
you are diffident about your ability to
write an attractive advertisement don't
hesitate to write to me. I won't charge
you anything for writing the advertise-
ment, and possibly I shall be able to
write one that will please you. I want
everybody to understand all the time
that my time is at the service of the trade.
I spare no pains to be of use— real use.
I do not profess to know all that is to be
known, but I do know where to find out
what I don't know at first glance, and I
defy any man to ask me a question con-
cerning tobacco which shall not engage
my instant and courteous attention.

Advertise, advertise, advertise. But
don't neglect Mr. Cullman's sound ad-
vice to keep your factory constantly sup-
plied ahead of time with a large stock of
good tobacco.

THE CAPITALIZATION IN 1890 OF THE
AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY.

Topeka, Kan.. March 24, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man.

What was the capitalization of the

American Tobacco Company upon its
formation in 1890, and what was the
capitalization of each of the five concerns
originally forming the corporation? These
questions have been suggested by your
recent publication to the effect that the
present capitalization of all the companies
having their headquarters at in Fifth
avenue. New York, is in the neighbor-
hood of 5600.000,000. Horace R.

ANSWER.

The best answer 1 can give my corres-
pondent is to reprint Mr. James B Duke's
testimony before the Joint Committee of
the Senate and Assembly of the State of
New York appointed to investigate trusts
in 1897. The questions and answers are
as follows:

Examined by Mr. Lexow:
Q. Mr. Duke, the constituent con-
cerns or companies that were first con-
solidated into the American Tobacco
Company represented, so far as organiza-
tion or incorporation incurred, how much
in stock? A. The American Tobacco
Company paid $25,000,000 stock, com-
mon and preferred, to the five original
concerns which it bought.

O. Twenty-five million dollars, com-
mon and preferred, for the five original
concerns? A. That is about it; yes, sir.
Q. That was sub-divided, was it not;
I mean there were sub-divisions made of
the 125,000,000 and each concern got its
appropriate share? A. Well, each con-
cern was bought on its own merits.

Q. Yes. and received for the value
that had been ascertained so much capi-
tal stock, common and preferred? A.

Yes, sir.

Q. Or general, I believe they call it,

in New Jersey, general and preferred?
A. We always call it common ; I would
like to state that there was two concerns
bought out that I didn't think of yester-
day, when •

Q. What are those? A. The James

G, Butler Tobacco Works, of St. Louis,
Mo., manufacturers of plug tobacco, and
H. W. Myers, of Brooklyn, Long Island,
manufacturer of smoking and chewing.
Q. I forgot to ask you what was the
amount of the capital stock of the con-
cern in New Jersey; the old American
Tobacco Company was at first organized;
what was the authorized issue? A. Ten
thousand dollars; it afterwards increased
to $25,000,000.

Q. The $10,000 was the formal contribu-
tion required by the State of New Jersey;
is that it? A. That was the subscrip-
tion of the incorporators.

Q. And was that $25,000,000 increas-
ed afterwards to a larger amount? A.
Yes; it was authorized to be increased to
$35,000,000, and something over $29,-
000,000 has already been issued.

Q, Twenty-nine? A. I don't re-
member the exact figures — $29,000,000.

Q. Twenty-nine million eight hun-
dred and thirty-five thousand? A. That
is probably the correct amount.

Q. Has been issued? A. Yes, sir.

Q. These five original concerns, you
say, received $25,000,000? A. Yes, sir.

Q. So that since the organization
originally made A. (Interrupting.)

No; they didn' t receive $25,000,000; it
was $24. 990, 000.

Q. How much of that did the con-
cerns in which you were interested, re-

ceive? A. They received $7. 497. 000—
well they didn't receive it, the stockhold-
ers of the concerns received it. j

Q. 1 understand; the individual
stockholders surrendered their shares?
A. No; the individual stockholders ^
signed a bill of sale with the company. I ;
think— and the American Tobacco Com- 1
pany divided the stock that was paid for j
that business between the stockholders ,
and the old Duke Sons & Company. |

Q. Seven million and how much did j
you say? A. Seven million four hun- 1
dred and ninety-seven thousand.

n. Of which, how much was for what
are known as "live assets?" A. We sold
the business. Duke Sons & Company-
sold the business, and they were to re-
ceive $3, 000, 000 in preferred and $4,-
497,000 in common, and we guaranteed
that there would be a million and a half
of live assets or active assets.

Q. One and a half miUion? A. Yes,

sir.

Q. So that in round figures six mil-
lions of capital stock of the company
was issued for what is known as good
will, trade marks, processes, patents?
A. Yes; and the machinery went with
trade marks, good will and the business.
Q. What? A. The machinery also
went with the trade marks, good will and
business, patent and patent rights—

Q. What was paid separately for the
four other concerns taken into the orig-
inal organizition? A. The Allen &
Ginter stockholders received the same
amount as W. Duke Sons & Co., I think.
Q. And on the same basis of com-
pensation, six millions for good will, trade
marks, etc., and the rest for what is
known as live assets? A. Yes, sir; the
Kinney Tobacco Company received $4,-
998,000 is my recollection.

Q. How divided? A. There was —
he guaranteed that there would be a
million dollars of cash or live assets; the
balance was the trade marks, good will,
business, machinery, patents, contracts.
Q. And that there — you have given
now three, haven't you? A. Yes, sir;
W. S. Kimball & Co. received $2,499,-
000; they guaranteed that there would be
$500,000 of cash —live assets, not cash —
and they received then $1,999,000—1
want to look at the paper that I have got
(examines document) -$1,000,000 for
the go(xi will, trade marks, patents, con-
tracts and machinery.

Q. And now the last — A. Good-
win & Co. received the same amount —
Q. As the last named? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Will you now tell us how much
that was for live assets and how much
for good will? A. $5,000,000 live as-
sets; $19,990,000 for the trade marks,
good will, patents, patent rights, ma-
chinery and fixtures and contracts which
the different concerns had.
By Mr. Mazet:

Q. $20,000,000 in round numbers?
A. $19,990,000 actual amount.
By Mr. Lexow:

Q. That was for the original organ-
ization? A. Yes, sir; twenty-four mil-
lions and something.

Q. Was any form of calculation
adopted that was applicable to each of
these five in reaching the figures at which
the stock was issued for inactive assets?
A. The business of the different con-
cerns was considered —

O. Yes.' A. Not only as to what
they were doing, but as to what the pros-
pects of the concerns were.

(). Do you mean that you capitalized
the earning' capacity n{ the various con-
cerns? A. No; we placed that at what
we consideied the proper value to place
upon the trade marks, etc.

(2. How did you get those values —
by computation of the earning capacity
and capitalizing that: A. Well, that
was considered.

(). Or by an appr.iisement of the

trade marks, good will and that sort of

thing separately? A. Well, all these

things were considered in placing the

j values upon them.

(^. Did you reach the figures showing
I the net profits of the concern and multi-
ply them by any sum for the purpose of
capitalizing the profits. A. No, sir;
we didn't do it in that way.

(j. Will you please explain to the
committee how you reached these figures?
A. We first considered the relative
value of the businesses; after that was
determined we considered the value of
the whole and we placed it at the figure
which I have stated that the company
paid for it.

Q. Who made the appraisement?
A. Mr Ginter; Mr. I forget whether

Mr. Hart or Mr. Kimball.

Q. Eor their concerns or for all? A.
Well, we appraised it as a whole; Mr.
Kinney is one of the parties who passed
upon the values, Mr. Emory and my-
self; there were five of us.

Q. How many stockholders or in-
terested parties were there representing
the original five companies or concerns?
A. H ow many was the total stockholders
of the different concerns?

<2. How many were the number of
stockholders interested, whether they
were corporations, or partners, whether
they were firms organized as incorpora-
tions, in the issue of this twenty-five mil-
lions of stock? A. In the case of Kim-
ball & Co. I think Mr. Hart or Mr. Kim-
ball were; in the case of Allen & Ginter
corporation Mr. Pope, Mr. Arents Mr.
Augustine, and I think that probably
some other small stockholders; the Kin-
ney Tobacco Company, Mr. Kinney,
Mr. Butler and I think I heard that Mr.
Kinney's brother was also a stockholder;
there may be some smaller ones that I
don't remember.

GERMAN TOBACCO.

According to the report of the govern-
ment statistician, there are in the German
Empire 120,000 tobacco planters, who,
in 1 90 1, cultivated a plot equal to i,-
700.000 acres, and raised 40,000,000
kilograms of tobacco. The value of this
crop amounted to 34, 000, 000 marks ($6,-
800.000). (iermany imported from for-
eign countries during the year tobacco
valued at 120,000.000 marks ($24. 000, •
000). The bulk of the (lerman tobacco
is raised in Haden, where the crop aver-
ages a value of I 5,000, 000 marks. Bava-
ria's crop usually averages 4,000.000
marks, while that of Alsace-Lorraine
averages 3, 000, 000 marks. Practically
every district in the empire raises more
or less tobacco, as shown by Rudolstadt,
which raised 2 kilogr.ims, valued at 1
mark, and S( hIeswig-Holstein. where a
croj) of 32 kilograms, valued at 23 marks,
was raised.

y the time— for the better, it is

to be hoped; new inventions come to the
market and affect trade conditions; new
experiments in growing or packing are
being made — in short, in all trades there
is something going on all the time of
interest or value and as a resut it well
behooves merchants and dealers to keep
in accord with current ideas and news.
They can best do this by subscribing to
their trade journal and reading it A
contemporary has the following to say
anent the wisdom of reading the trade
journals :

The reading of journals takes time, as
well as the money required for subscrip-
tion to such periodicals, but any business
man could well afford the investment of
the few dollars required yearly for the
necessary books and papers, and one to
two hours' systematic reading each day
will be sufficient to keep him thoroughly
well posted in all matters pertaining to
his business. Rightly considered, it is
not an expense or waste of time, but an
investment in business education. I
have heard men declare that it would be
impossible to find the time for reading or
study, as the requirements of their busi-
ness were so exacting that every minute
of the day was fully occupied. In such
cases I have usually found that their time
was chiefly occupied in doing the petty,
routine work of their establishments,
which, had they been more able business
men, would have been performed by a
clerk. To the head of a business who
pleads "no time" for study or reading. I
would say, "Take time, hire another
clerk if necessary. If your brains cannot
make you more money than your hands,
you, of a certainty, need more business
knowledge. Satisfactory help can easily
be hired to perform the routine work of
your store, but you cannot hire a man to
do your thinking, and the driving of your
business; at least not for any salary that
you can afford to pay.

Store Hints and Suggestions.
Back up your salemen- back up your
managers— back up your superintendents
and foremen in whatever they do, and
look to them for results. If the results
are not satisfactory, blame them — they
can't blame you.

The following is merely an outline of
an idea — it may be elaborated on or
modified according to the individual taste
of the window dresser. The main point
is to give the window a warm, cheerful,
cosy appearance. Obtain a number ot
hanging gold-fish globes and cover them
with bright red or deep orange tissue or
crepe paper. Neatly wrapped about the
globes and fastened at the back with
mucilage, this colored paper gives a sur-
prisingly brilliant effect when an electric
bulb is placed inside the glass. A
similar, if not quite so good, effect may

is not to be had.

Cultivate the faculty of sizing up in
dividual characteristics, and give suf-
ficient credit to the customer's judgment.
Where you are inclined to differ with the
selection made, simply remember a great
politician's advice: "Don't talk." The
greatest fraction of the trade can be
most easily enticed by a judicious ex-
ercise of civility, ready conversational
faculty on tobical subjects, and an en
tertaining and obliging mode of general
conduct

The above is a halftone reproduction of a novel design in show-card advertising

for cigars. The designs are above the average in artistic conception

and execution, and convey a story of perfect satisfac*

tion and comfort without the use of words.

The ideal window display should, first, in the deep-worn, unnoticeable rut if

attract the attention of possible customers ;
secondly, interest them sufficiently to
secure their trade, either at the moment
or later on; and, thirdly, be dignified
yet inexpensive, and not calculated to
cause too much inconvenience.

Points on Advertising.

A Western advertising expert has the
following to say upon some of the uses of
printers' ink:

I tell you that about 90 per cent of the
local advertising in any community that
can be picked out is mighty near the
worthless line.

Pick up your paper and read and see
for yourself.

they cant reform.

If the other fellows do happen to see
the error of their ways and at last whip

into line, then make it your aim to lead.

One of the most important elements in
good advertising is the dissection of the
article at hand, and the tracing up and
the laying out, one by one, of its various
qualities and possibilities.

But never falsely.

For then the man who buys once does
not come back.

And it's a hard hunt for new customers

till the end.

And the end isn't generally afar off.

Window SKow Cards.

Philadelphia and many of the larger

rather than attract trade. After a timely
and well arranged display of products
and merchandise the next consideration
should be given to show cards. The
following comments on window cards are
taken from an exchange:

There is no argument against window,
signs at all — not e\en the argument of
expense.

They furnish entertainment to the
passers-by until your store gets to beron-
sidered a kind of headquarters for newsy
items and up-to-datedness, and you get
to be considered a live business man.

Anything that produces favorable talk
for you, even among the class of people
who never spent a cent at your store, is
good advertising. Even these people
cannot talk about you without their being
overheard by others who may become
your customers.

I don't speak of window-signs purely
as signs to be hung in the windows; for
the very same kind of cards can be used
as placards to attach to your goods in
the store <>r in the warehouse.

Often a few words expressed in one
will be the very argument that wins a
possible customer over.

Then again, such a card will often
remind a man that he needs such and
such a thing, and may cause him to spend
his money with you, inste:id of forgetting
that he needs that thing until he gets into
some other stoie and lemembers and buys
the e.

The usual size of cards of this descrip-
tion to hang in the window is about
eighteen inches or two feet long by one
foot or eighteen inches wide.

They may be printed with a marking

brush, or better still, a stencil and black-
ing brush. Different colors of ink may
be used, also different colors of paper —
stiff strawboard is best

But bear in mind that there can be no
card more attractive than a white card
with black letters; it can be seen across
the street better and is plainer to be read
close up.

— A New York smoker offered to bet
5100 that the cut in prices on imported
Havana cigars, recently inaugurated in
New York, was accompanied by a cut in
the weight of the cigars. He weighed a
number of the "cut-price" cigars and
found that five of them weighed only as
much as four of the cigars he bought
before the "cut-price" war was in-
augurated.

— The Pennsylvania Senate last
Wednesday, passed the anti-cigarette
bill, after amending it to prohibit the
sale of cigarettes to persons under 18
years of age, instead of 16 years, as passed
by the House.

CIGAR TRADE BRISK AT READING.

So the Internal Collector Reports — A
Foolish Tobacco Salesman— Trade

News and Personals. |

Reading, Pa. , March 30, 1903.
j Quite an excitement was caused at the
Mansion House, the leading hotel here
last week when a tobacco salesman, who ,
generally imbibes too freely when he,
gets to Reading, stabbed a bell boy in
the stomach with a pen knife. Over
200 guests were stopping at the hotel at
the time. The salesman was trouble-
some all day and annoyed many of the
guests. Repeatedly he was told to be
quiet but he became more obstinate than
ever. Herbert Jacoby, the bell boy,
politely offered to take his baggage to
his room when he cursed the lad and
ran the pen knife into his stomach. The
wound while not a dangerous one was
very painful and the boy is still confined
to the house. Fifteen minutes after the
occurence the salesman left the city.
He made a very narrow escape from
rough handling by getting out of a rear
door. About 10 o'clock, being sobered
i up from the affair, he called up the hotel
from his home office and instructed that
the best of care and attention be given
to the lad at his expense. He also

promised to make restitution upon his
next visit here.

W. W. Snyder has placed a new brand
on the market called Snyder's Special,
which is meeting with a good local trade.

E. M. Keller has returned from a suc-
cessful business trip through Delaware
and Maryland.

H. H. Wentzel, manufacturer of the
Shamrock, a nickel cigar, booked an
order for 25,000 of them while on a trip
through New Jersey last week.

Edward W. Ganter, who spent a week
I in the coal regions, met with encourag-
ing success. He has placed a salesman
on the road to sell his new brands of
smoking and chewing tobaccos exclu-
sively.

The Union Cash Cigar Manufacturing

Company has moved its factory from 530
to 430 North Eleventh street, where they
will have quite a lot of additional room
and more hands will be employed.

R. F. Brader has secured a transfer
to move his factory from 810 to 824
North Eighth street, Allentown.

John G. McGraw, Southern represen-
tative of Yocum Bros., spent several days
in Reading during the past week con-
sulting on trade matters. Mr. McGraw
makes his headquarters at Baltimore and
reports business brisk.

A water supply tank has been placed
in position on the roof of Yocum Bros.'
six-story cigar factory annex, which is
the largest m this section. It is 225 feet

York, Pa., March 30, 1903.
The recent falling off in importance of
orders is attributed by the manuf.icturers
here who supply a great many Western
houses, to the great snows in the West
which impedes commercial business.

The 20th Century brand of cigars ap-
pears to be taking a substantial hold upon
the trade here.

J. B Hostetter's crop of canvas covered
tobacco seems to have been a very
profitable venture. It appears that a
company has been formed to raise ten
acres of this class of tobacco this year.
The seed has been sown for the plants in
hotbeds on Duffy's Island and will be
transplanted as early as possible. Those
forming the company are I. B. Hostetter,
Luther Case, Col. Duffy and HA. Rich.
A. F. Strayer has formally taken charge
at the York office after examination of
the accounts by Collector Hershey and
G. W. Tehmaster, from Lancaster. The
office of deputy collector has been placed
upon the civil service list and will have
to be filled after April first by competitive
examination. R. F. Strayer will continue
to fill the office, having been lately ap-
pointed and will continue to fill same
during good behavior. Former Collector
Minnich has been appointed custodian
of the federal buildings.

The weather continues favotable to the
deUvery of tobacco. The acreage of a
Windsor township farmer has been de-
livered to D. Minnich, who, as announced
previously, will pack tobacco here.

Twenty- four car loads of tobacco were
received in Wrightsville and ship[)ed
during the week to HofTman Bios.' leaf

Geo. A. Hain commemorated his third

tending an invitation to the public to a

Kdward Mitzel, formerly a clerk at the

John T. Gemmill, cigar manufacturer,
of Red Lion, has made an assignment

The factory of M. E. OIp, at Jacobus,
was destroyed, with its contents, last
Wednesday night. The fire is supposed
to have been of incendiary origin. The
loss has not as yet been estimated, but
the building is reported to have contained
forty- five rases of leaf tobacco and seven
cases of cigars, as well as improved ma-
chinery.

GERNANTOWN.O.. TOBACCO MARKET

Twenty Per Cent, of the 1902 Crop

Still in Growers' Hands — Several

Good Sized Shipments.

Germantown, <). , March 30, 1903.
Although it IS estimated that fully 20
per rent, of the 1902 crop is yet in the
growers' hands, little buying is done at
present by the packers. Here and there
a crop of Spanish sells for 9 cents. Many
small packers throughout the Miami
Valley have yet to buy but piefer to
wait until liter in the year and not pur-
chase green weight. Most of the tobicco
contracted for has been delivered and the
largest p 'ckers are busilyengaged sweat-
ing and assoiting the new. The Miami
Valley, at Dayton, L. Neuberg.at Hamil-
town. and Cullman Bros., at Middletown
have all a full force at work.

During the past week the Pioneer Leaf
Tobacco Co. of this place shipped 200
rases of the 1901 crop, half going to
Boston and the remainder to Philadelphia.
The former was contracted for some time
ago while the latter lot was recently sold.
A large amount of the 1901 crop is still
in the packers hands, throughout the
\'alley. In this town the scarcity of labor
is a puzzling problem. None of the
packers in town have as >et begun to
work the 1 902 crop. Dr. Ed. Rittich
has about completed making improve-
ments in his packing house, making
conditions more convenient and comfort-
able for his women help. He will begin
working the new crop next week.

The writer has seen a fine small pack-
ing of the new Zimmer Spanish. It was
stripped early, bulk-sweated and had
water applied to it by ordinary rasing
method after undei going several heatings.
If it is an indicator, the 1902 crop will be
equally as good as the 1901. Good filler
grades, from twelve to fourteen inches,
predominate. In the fermentation the
shrinkage was fully twelve per cent,
while the proportion of bottom sand
leaves averaged 20 percent, of the whole
packing.

Although the 1902 cropbroughtgrowers
a smaller average price per pound than
the 1901, indications at present point to
as large an acreage being planted this
year as last.

FAVORS THE USE OF MUSIC.

The Bay City, Mich.. Tribune, com-
menting upon the fact that some of the
big tobacco factories are furnishing mu-
sic for the edification of their employes
while they work, says:

"Why not adapt the idea to other em-
ployments not hitherto blessed with mu-
sical annexes.' Have bands to play in
Congress .«nd the Legislatures; the soft
music when speerhes worth hearing are
being made, and the drums and cymbals
when the wrong men talk in the wrong
places. It would be edifying to stait a
drum solo just as Senator Morgan arose
to make a ten-mile speech on some
measure he did not approve There are
also sermons th.it might be enlivened by
the same means, and .iddresses that
would be greatly helped by megaphone
music cutting them on the bias. The
idea should be adopted and adapted."

CUBAN SCENES AND CUBAN PEOPLE.

Aguardiente *nd Orange Juice.

All the fair islands of the world-Krin,
Sicily, Japan. Sumatra. Java. Madagas-
car and the others— have had ample jus-
tice done them by travelers voluntarily
doing the work of press ..gents. Cuba
alone, the fairest of them all. and only a
step from a land possessing a larger pop-
ulation of able descriptive writers than
any other land under the sun, has been
neglected. The very nearness of Cuba
to the United States is perhaps the best
explanation of this gross neglect. Able
descriptive writers in New York do not
favor their fellow-townsmen with descrip-
tions of Central Park, and there does not
exist in print a single piece of writing on
the subject of Fair mount Park in Phila-
delphia which would induce anyone to |
go there. The people of Cuba are among
the most amiable and hospitable people
on the face of the globe, too, and it is not
only a pity, it is a shame, that writers of
the calibre of the late Charles Kingsley.

big hotel of brick and stone an^ steel.
For an appetiser before breakfagl in the
morning, he will be served with a glass
of aguardiente sweetened with sugar and
made more appetising by an infusion of
I orange juice. Aguardiente is the native
rum and Americans do not drink it any-
where else than in Cuba. At home whis-
key is good enough for them. Breakfast
at a Cuban country inn consists generally
of a liberal portion of eggs, fried chicken
and good coffee. Then, a good cigar
and off for an inspection of the tobacco.
The palm trees of Cuba, which are so
ornamental both in nature and in pic-
tures, are an unfailing source of income
' to the people upon whose premises they
grow. Eveiy palm tree is worth at least
ten dollars a year to its owner. It sup-
plies him with bast for his bales of to-
bacco, with fruit for his cattle and with
thatch for his dwelling, not to mention a
grateful shade for his afternoon siesta.

Details of the Work. Cost, htc.

D A Shaw, president of the Florida I
Tobacco Company, and the , loneer
grower of Florida Sumatra tobacco under
ihade. was a visitor to Philadelphia
March 25. Knowing that he is an
authority on shade grown tobacco, a
Tobacco World representative inter
viewed Mr. Shaw and learned of much
that will proved of interest to I he to-
bacco Worlds many readers.

"I wish to emphasize the fact. said
Mr Shaw, "that the tirst tobacco grown
under shade in the United States was
planted and experimented with in (.lads-
den county. Florida, in what IS called
the Piedmont region. 1 recall that the
late F. A. Schroeder. of Schroeder &
Arguimbau. was the first to suggest that
tobacco grown under shade was better
than that grown in the sun. 1 was over-
seer on the Schroeder & Arguimbau
plantation for many years. One day in
11806 Mr. Schroeder said he noticed that
in Cuba tobacco which had grown under
the shade of banana trees was far better
for wrapper purposes than that which
had grown in the open fields. He sug-

In answer to inquires Mr. Shaw gave
the following information: "Last year
my company- the Florida Tobacco Com-
pany grew seventy acres of shade growu
tobacco. This year we will grow 170
acres. Our plantation is near Ouincey,
Fla.. about twenty-five miles west-by-
north of Tallahassee. The soil and
country is siin.lar to that of Cuba. We
have four rivers near us and the land is
irrigated to secure water for the crops.
We have a system of overhead spray
pipes. All work is done by negro labor.
Ihe cover of slats is good for use for
fifteen years; it is not renewed every year.
The average vield is 1,000 pounds of to-
bacco per acre, of which seventy per
cent, is good wrapper; the rem.ainder is
worthless and is not used. Some of the
companies growing tobacco near us have
500 acres under shade. A. Cohn & Co.
have 1. 500 a. res of land. The land not
used to grow tobacco is used for raising
cattle in order to secure animal fertilizers.
The cattle, as they increase, are shipped
to market and sold. The cattle are fed
on cotton seed, herbs and the natural

DAMPNESS AFFKCTS CIGARS.

To a complaining customer the other
day a Chestnut street cigarist explained
that the condition of the customer" s cigar
was due to meteoralogic conditions.

«'I explained to him," said the dealer,
••that the damp weather which we have
experienced for the past few days was
responsible for the condition of his cigars ;
You see. we have had an unusually heavy
rainfall. During such time in this section
of the country it is impossible to keep j
our stock of cigars and tobacco dry
enough. Because of the peculiar con- j
ditions here in this respect the walls of I
buildings sweat as we are in the habit of
saying. How does it affects cit;ars.' They
become damp and soft, and have the j
appearance of being new, or green, to j
adopt the technique of the trade. They 1
do not burn well, smoke in an uneven
sort of way, and. as a rule, if I may
judge from my own experience, it is
necessary to throw one-half of them
away. There is one thing which I cannot
explain, and that is the change which
takes place in the flavor of the cigars.
But the flavor is unquestionably changed.
Cigars that have a delightful flavor under ,
ordinary conditions become strong and
offensive to the taste, and frequently
burn and blister the tongue. That's why
it is necessary to throw them away before
they are smoked to the tip. This is what
the weather does for cigars. To some
extent it has the same influence on 1
chewing tobacco, and not infrequently
we have to throw tobacco away because
it sours. Customers do not stop to think '
about these things as a rule, and often
they will quit a place because they think

the cigar man is giving them the worst '
ofit."

BLUE LAW KNOCKED OlTl j

Magistrate Gorman, in an opinion ;
yesterday, decided th.it the five defend-
ants arrested .March 16. for alleged viola-
tion of the Blue Law of 1794. which
prohibits "worldly employment'" upon
the Lord's Day. were not guilty and they
were discharged. The Magistrate held
that the Blue Law was vague; that it is
no definite standard for the peoples guid-
ance. He says the 1 794 Blue Law makes
the offense a matter of the opinion of
magistrates rather than a fact of law. and
holas that Sunday newspipeis are a
necessity.

If Sunday newspapers are a nee essity
thous.ind« of men are of the opinion that
Sund urs are much more so. Hence,

the prosecution of small cigar dealers
should cease.

BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE SI N-
^ DAY SMOKES.
"Our Blue Law of 1794 concerning
wordly employment is absurd. " said
Lawyer John R. R. Scott, counsel for one
of the newspaper clerks arrested March

1 6th. for violating the aforesaid law by
working on the Sabbath. In addition he
also said: "We should have our barber
shops open on Sunday. So ought we to
be able to buy newspapers and cigars.
Yet all these are against the law. I know
many travelers, such as the salesmen and
sojourners at our hotels will not stop in
this city over Sunday, but go to New
York, where they can get the conve-
niences of life. Strictly construing the
law, everything excepting the selling of
drugs, meats and the products of baker-
ies are forbidden on Sundays under the
law. This is my recollection of it. There
are a long list of authorities on the sub-
ject"

Friends of the obnoxious Blue Law are
few and becoming more scarce.

NOW ON ARCH STREET.
Fellheimer& Co.. cigar manufacturers,
who were formerly in business on North
F'ourth street, have removed their factory
to Arch street, near Second. They h ve
more room in their new quarters and will
put out more union made cigars than
ever. A large Indian figure guards the
entrance to the factory as well as adver-
tises the store. As already noted — and
the removal of Fellheimer & Co. em-
phasizes the fact — .Ar. h street is fast be-
coming a prominent centre for the to-
bacco trade.

THE LITTLE BOY IN BLUE.
The life-sized figure of a soldier boy
graces the large display window of the
Penn Tobacco Company on Market street
and attracts the attention of passers-by.
On each side of the soldier are neatly
displayed pack.ages of "Recruit' ' tobacco
and it is quite apparent that the "boy in
blue" smokes that popular brand. The
display is effective as an advertising
medium.

A LARGE STORAGE HOUSE.
The Theobald & Oppenheimer Com-
pany, which recently acquired the
premises 113 North Third street adjoin-
ing their present large factory, is making
alterations to the building in order to use
it as a store house. When completed
the new warehouse will have a storage
capacity of several million cigars.

A SWEET LOAD.
The British ship Penmount. from
Batoum. Russia, brought over 13.754
bales of licorice last week and unloaded
it at wharves in South Camden. The
licorice was grown on the shores of the
Black Sea. It will be used by American
tobacco manufa( turers.

UNITED THEY STAND.
A movement is on foot to unionize the

cigarette makers of Philadelphia. A
meeting for that purpose was held last
week in a South Philadelphia hall at
which a preliminary organization was
effected. About 200 cigarette makers
were present. Another meeting will be
held this week.

IMPERIALTOBACCO COMPANY
CHARTERED.

The Imperial Tobacco Company of
America filed papers of incorporation un-
der the laws of New Jersey in the Camden
Circuit Court last Saturday. The incor-
porators are Francis J. Cunningham.
Joseph F. Cotter and Richard J. Cotilla.
of Philadelphia. The company is capital-
ized at $250,000, of which |i,ooo is paid
in and is formed to manufacture tobacco,
cigars, cigarettes, implements and ma-
chinery for working tobacco and to control
patents.

A LARGER SIZED .MANETO.
A larger size of the popular Maneto
cigar, manufactured by Gumpert Bn;s..
will soon be ready for the market. It is
made in response to a demand from
consumers. Business continue* good
with Gumpert Bros, and the sales of the
Maneto cigar show a steady increase.

WILL CLOSE N. Y. STORE.
Bayuk Bros., who have operated a
cigar store on Broadway, New York.
o,)posite the Imperial Hotel, announce
that they will soon letiie from business
at that location, a> the building is to be
torn down to make way for a more
modern structure.

STORE ROBBED. HE LAUGHED.
Burglars entered the cigar store of
Robert Harrison on North Ninth street
early Friday morning and stole $5 in
money and twenty six boxes of cigarettes.
They gained access by forcing a rear
transom. Mr. Harrison was a minstrel
years ago and, as noted in last week's
Tobacco World, has had some truly
humorous show cards in the window of
his cigar store. He is an optimist and
laughed with philosophical good nature
over the robbery of his store. "I've
laughed over it until I cried," was his
characteristic comment. No doubt the
robbery will lead to a number of original
show cards being prominently displayed
in the window. And if it does they' II be
worth reading.

A 560.000 PURCHASE.
L. Bamberger & Co.. leaf dealers,
were buyers in the Edgerton. Wis.,
market last week, and among other pur-
chases bought 1.700 cases of 1902 leaf
known as the Shannon packing— one of
the best packings put up in the Wisconsin
section.

NATIONAL LEAF DEALERS' WILL
BE ENTERTAINED.

J. R. Young, of Young & Newman,
is a member of the Committee on En-
tertainment of the National Cigar Leaf
Tobacco Association and has made ar-
rangements for the use, by the Associa-
tion at its annual convention at Atlantic
City, commencing May 4. of Young's
Pier. The National Association wil
probably be in session for three days
and the novelty of holding a convention
at the end of the pier — almost amid the
roar of old Neptune — will be appreciated
by many members of the Association
who rarely see large bodies of water or
the ocean. While the Associ.ntion will
give strict attention to business, the en-
tertainment committee will see that the
members are entertained in a manner
benefitting the reputation of the great
summer resort by the sea.

UNION-MADE TURKI ^H
CIGARETTES.

M. Kaufman & Co , 504 Souh Fifth
street, employ union workmen in man-
ufacturing their Turkish cigarettes. The
popular Munjuras aie meeting with suc-
cess and Mr. Kaufman says business is

very satisfactory.

HEYMANN & CO. FACTORIES NOW
RUNNING.

The Tampa, Fla., cigar fictory of
Heymann & Co.. started operations
•March 26, and the Philadelphia factory
at 214 South Fifth street, began work
last Monday. The fiim's leading brand
is to be the Ducal cigar, a clear Havana
which will be manuf ictured exclusively
at the Tampa factoiy. It will sell to the
trade at from |6o to $300 per thousand.
The Francis Lee. a domestic cigar of
fine quality, which will retail at 10 cents,
and the Loma. which will be sold to the
trade at J35 per thousand, are the brands
which will be made at the Philadelphia
factory. The labels for the Loma cigar
have been received from the lithogra-
phers. Samples of the Ducal cigars were
received from Tampa last Monday.

Heymann & Co. have admirable
quarters at their South Fifth street factory
and as the members of the firm are men
of experience and push, they will un-
doubtedly meet with success in their
chosen field.

SUSPECTED FIREBUGS.

A determined effort is being made by
the Philadelphia authorities to ferret out
persons suspected of having set fire to
several buildings and factories in the
northeast portion of the city. Among
the sufferers weie Block & Shaw, the
tobacco pipe manufacturers on Emerald
street, whose factory is said to have been
set on fire. Thev suffered a loss of J600.

AMONG THE RETAILERS.
The windows of many retail cigar
dealers are filled with tempting displays
of cigars and tobaccos-many of them
marked at "cut" prices. The United
Cigar Stores continu*^ ♦heir "cut" prices
on many imported cigars and independent
dealers are following suit. The so-called
"war" has not, however, reached a very
serious state in Philadelphia and a ma-
jority of the dealeis seem content with
the volume of business they are doing.

IT WAS SHORT-LIVED.
The strike among the girl employes
of the Vicente Portuondo factory.reported
last week, was short-lived. The points
of disagreement were cjuickly and amica-
bly adjusted and the factory is now busy
and running on orders as usual.

WELL-PLEASED WITH HIS VISIT.
Sol. Locb, of the Loeb-Swartz Co. . leaf
dealers, returned home last Saturday
from Havana in a pleased frame of mind
and good health. He had good luck in
securing some of the best of the old crops
and secured them at a satisfactory price,
lire long he will start out on a visit to
the trade.

UNDERGOES AN OPERATION.

D. E. Salomon, of W. Dittenhoefcr &
Co. , leaf dealers, was compelled to take
to his bed last Wednesday, suffering from
what was diagnosised as an abircess. It
will be remembered that about a year
ago Mr. Salomon was severely injured at
Red Lion from a fall through a hatchway.
He had since fairly recovered from the
injuries and the abscess is thought to
have been the result of the injuries re-
ceived at that time. An operation was
decided upon last Monday and was per-
formed, which, it is thought will result
favorably, although of course it will be
some time before Mr. Salomon will be
able to be about and resume business
duties.

he will represent is that ot Cullman
Bros., extensive packers of domestic ci-
gar leaf tobacco; the second, Rothschild
& Bro., widely known as importers of
Havana and Sumatra tobaccos. Mr.
Loeb is too well and favorably known to
the trade to need much comment. So
soon as he can secure a proper location
— and it will be soon — he will undoubt
cdly show his old time enthusiasm in
trade matters and with the usual good
results.

It has been whispered to a World
repiesentative from a private, yetauthen-
tic source, that within two or three days
after effecting arrangements with the
firms mentioned, Mr. Loeb closed his
first leaf tobacco deal and that it was of
more than the usual or average quaniity.
The trade will undoubtedly be pleased
to learn that Mr. Loeb has made these
desirable connections.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE ACAIN.

Cigarettes have been causing consider-
able trouble in Philadelphia, judging
from numerous complaints made of them
and their proclivity to cause crime.
March 25, George Nelk, aged 24, was
found guilty of murJering his mother,
an aged woman who kept a cigar and
candy store, and his counsel claimed he
was insane — made so partially by ex
cessive cigarette smoking.

Here is another case where cigarettes
caused trouble:

"He is incorrigible. Judge: he wont
work, and he spends all the money he
can get for cigarettes," said Mrs. A.
Schmandt, of Salem street, to Magistrate

Hart at the Frankford police station a
week ago. Her son Joseph, a lad 15
years of age, small for his years, hung
his head in silence. Magistrate Hart
committed the lad to the House of
Refuge.

Excessive cigarette smoking is also
said to have had much to do last week
in leading a young Swede Charles Abra-
hamson, 24 years of age, to commit sui-
cide, whieh tragedy occurred at the young
mans boarding house on North Park
avenue.

Public school teachers of the city are
using persuasion and moral means to
induce pupils to abstain from smoking
cigarettes.

bacco in bulk that is just as good as any

make belter cigars from it than they do
in Cuba. You may not know it, but the
customs law compels the payment of
duty according to weight, and, naturally,
the manufacturers who send their goods
here must make their cigars as light as
possible. The result is that the cigars
are not firm, and when you draw the
smoke through the weed a draft is caused
that sets the tobacco burning. Any
smoker who loves good tobacco knows
that this destroys the delicate flavor, and
I the smoke thus obtained is hot, haish,
I and dries the tonj^ue. I do not believe
that 1 will ever sell any imported cigars

Id Tobacco War in Milwaukee

Causes Apprehension to Retailers — Cut

Tobacco and Trade News of the North-
west— Tobacco Shipments, Etc.

\

Western Office of Ihe Tobacco World,
Room 29, Miller Block,
iMilwaukee, Wis. , March 28, 1903.

The trade anionj: tin- irtaiU'is and
leaf men has i»i(k«'d up «-»»usidt'rMl>ly the
past week and Iuih tu'on hetu-r than at
aiiv tinif siii<«' thf opening of tlie
year. All of the lar^'e downtown stores
report good business, and wlmlesalers
say that orders from tiie other retailers
on the outskirts of tiie eity have also
been very heavy, esperially on five cent
brands as well as on sranidated toha«-

CO8.

The news coming from Madison. N> is.,
last night, to the elTeet that the State
Legislature has passnl the Dudgeon hill,
prohibiting the sale (tf eigar»'ttes or
cigarette paper or their importation into
the State, has created eonsternation
among the retailers. It was thought
certain that the bill would meet the
fate of bills of like nature, and its pas-
sage was not therefore opposed by any
organized effort.

Milwaukee is at present in the midst
of a cigarette war. I^'ading dealers
of the city have announeements in tiieir
show windows to the fleet that two
packages of 15-cent cigarettes will here-
after be sold for a quarter, and it is
said that the cut will extend so as to
take iu every n'tail shop as well as
many of the drug stores in the eity.
Just why the cut was started, or by
whomi could not be learned. Hereto-
fore prices have held up well.

It^ is said that several west side retail-
ers along (Jrand avenue will begin cut-
ting prices on tive cent cigars to «om-
pete with a firm th:it is selling goo.l^
of the United Uigar Stores To. Ciuar
prices hav*- always iieen nniintained.
therefore, if n cut -price war starts, as
there is every indication that it will, the
fight will be a very bitter one.

The B. Liedersdorf Tobacco Company
has this week s«Mit to the dealers jiround
the city ami Stale samjib's oi tine eiit

introducing to the trade. The sample
outfit is a very neat one and <'ontain^

as other brands. Window displays iif

Charles Slee.

The above is a half-tone photographic
illustration of Charles Slee, one of the
leading cigar dealers of Trenton, N. J.
Mr. Slee's place of business is at 3 South
Broad street where he carriesi a large and
varied stock of popular cigars, cigarettes,
pipes, smokers' articles and tobaccos.
He recently closed a contract with Weiner
Bros., of Philadelphia, for 100,000 Slee's
Leaders and 25,000 Slee's No. 3 — the
cigars to be furnished monthly as called
for. Mr. Slee's leading imported cigar
is the Manuel Garcia although of course
he keeps in stock other brands. Weiner
Bros. . it is stated, are making a strong
bid for the full line of domestic goods and
as they endeavor to give satisfaction in
every way may secure the order.

Mr. Slee's cigar store at the Capital
City of New Jersey is a model one in
decorations and artistic window displays.
The store fittings are of cherry and the
many display and window cases of glass.
Electric lights handsomely illuminate the
store at night and set forth the arrays of
selected smoking pipes and materials
and cigarettes, as well as the stock of
cigars, to the greatest advantage. The
Slee cigar store is a popular one in Tren-
ton and has a large clientile among the
consumers of the city whose trade is
considered desirous and profitable. Mr.
Slee's le.iding brands of domestic cigars
are: Slees Leader and Slee's No. 3, and
that they are sold in large quantities can
be judged by the facts already noted of
his having closed an order to have 125,-
000 of them manufactured for delivery
within a year.

JACK TAR TOBACCO EXPERTS.

On the receiving ship Columbia, which
is anchored at the Cob Dock in New
York, 400 of Uncle Sam's naval recruits
are chewing tobacco for the purpose of
determining what brand of plug shall be
adopted for use in the navy during the

coming year. The tobacco chewing con-
test began on March 25, although the
judges met formally on the previous day
to organize and to open the samples to
be tested. The judges will remain in
session at the navy yard for the next ten
days. One of them is Capt. Miller, the
acting commandant of the yard, an expert
on tobacco, who is chairman of the Naval
Inspection Board. The total number of
samples received is 264, sent by forty-four
different tobacco concerns at the request
of Secretary of the Navy Moody.

Some of the naval paymasters who
pride themselves on the fact that they
have chewed and smoked ever since they
were twelve years old are among the
judges who will have a final say in the
matter.

The first action taken was to arrange
a schedule of the samples, numbering
each piece of plug received. The judge*
will not know from whom the samples
came until after they have rendered their
decision. After the samples were num-
bered the judges got out their knives and
proceeded to dissect some of the samples
to see what they should find inside. They
knew from experience that they might
run across anything from a collar button
to a can-opener, including shoe-strings,
suspender buttons, toothpicks, matches,
hairpins and red tape.

"Yes," said Capt Miller, "we are
likely to find anything in plug tobacco.
I remember last year our chemist dis-
covered copperas, evidently put into the
tobacco to give it the proper bite. Then
there are molasses, and, of course, all
sorts of drugs. We test the tobacco first
to see how it smokes and tastes in chew-
ing, and if the verdict hits a particular
sort right, the sample is sent over to our
laboratory to see whether there is any-
thing harmful in it. If the chemist then
reports it as fit for use, we decide on that
sample, and so on. Last year when the
fleet was here we sent samples to all the
boats to see how the men liked them.
This year, since the Columbia is the only
ship we have here, we sent the samples
to her for the men to try."

The majority of the men on the Colum-
bia were recruits who had come from all
parts of the globe to join Uncle Sam's
navy. There were old-timers from the
Bowery who bragged of having learned
to chew tobacco even before they were
old enough to attend a school, men from
all corners of Europe and all sections of
the States. One fellow actually declared
that he had learned to chew when he
was a year old.

Half a hundred with pipes were testing
the plug, cutting it small enough for
smoking purposes. One man who was
smoking a broken clay pipe said he had
owned the pipe twenty years and that it
was strong enough to kill more Spaniards
than ever Admiral Dewey slew.

When the chewers and smokers got
together in groups they offered to make
wagers that they could tell the name of
any particular brand they were testing.
This brought up the subject of firm
names and led to a discussion of the so-
called tobacco trust, which was finally
interrupted by the mess call. But even
while e.iting the jackies continued the
discussion on tobacco and will probably
keep it up until the official judges deter-
mine just what brand the blue jackets
will smoke and chew during the coming
year.

LEAF TOBACCO MARKETS

CONNECTICUT VALLEY.

.The growers in the Connecticut Valley
are more in favor of the confirmation of a
New England Tobacco Growers' Associa-
tion, as is shown by their liberal sub-
scriptions.

According to local papers, at a meet-
ing held in Whately, 300 shares were
taken. Using that town as an indication
of what may reasonably be expected of
other towns, it seems as though most of
the 5,000 shares would be subscribed for
in the Massachusetts part of the valley;
for the acreage of Whately usually does
not exceed 425 acres, while Hatfield
comes to the front with 800 acres. Deer-
field from 500 to 600 acres. With such
a proportion those three towns should
subscribe between i,2ooand i,3ooshares.
It is the writer's hearty wish that the
consolidation should succeed ; for if any
class of laborers need mutual assistance
it is the tobacco growers. But while
working for a general organization let us
not forget the small local organizations.
They may appear weak at this time, but
the time may come when they may be
needed as a balance wheel or check
valve to the larger and .more powerful
corporation.

The capital required by the corporation
should be subscribed by the local corpor-
ations, allowing one or more delegates to
attend the business meetings of the
general corporation, the one or more
members from the local corporations to
have the power to vote the whole stock
in one block, and one share is to be a
unit of the whole, and to represent as I
share is to 5,000 shares.

We have to report the sale of a few
lots at Wethersfield, Ct , G. H. Warner,
J. Eagan, T. Smith, to Miller, of Hart-
ford; J. S. Welles, A. Griswold to Dick-
enson, of Hartford; C. E. Adams to Gris-
wold, of West Hartford. The corres-
pondent reports that about one-half of the
tobacco remains in the hands of the
growers, that about the usual amount
will be grown in the coming season.
The buyers seem loth to pay more for
the best than they paid for the first sold.
— American Cultivator.

EDGERTON, WIS.

There is little of news to be gleaned
from the local markets, and while the
country roads remain in the present con-
dition tobacco movements must neces-
sarily be small. There is a disposition
among a few local packers to increase
their holdings of the new crop whenever
circumstances will permit of riding and
it is probable more, both old and new
leaf will be lifted as soon as the country
districts can be reached. Some of the
cheaper grades of the new are being dis.
posed of at from 5 to 7 cents when the
crops still remain in the bundle.

The most important sale of old leaf for
the week is the Viroqua packing of 0,
H. Helgerson, some 600 cases of 1901,
sold to C. F. Tallard. Andrew Jenson
also sold 150 cases of 1901.

Some tobacco is being delivered, even .
over horrible roads, and the warehouses
are kept busily at work, though with
many the end of the packing season is
now in sight.

Port Said, has nothing whatever to do with the flavor of cigarettes
manufactured there, and the only reason the term Egyptian cigarettes is
of such general vogue the civilized world over is that the first manufac

cigarettes almost exclusively.

It was long ago demonstrated in New York that we could make
Egyptian cigarettes here of a flavor equal, if not superior, to the same
kind of cigarettes made in Cairo or Port Said. As in innumerable other
lines of industry, it is all a question of knowing how. In this instance

smokes them, men and women. Egyptian cigarettes are cheaper in

FIRST ROTTEKDAN INSCRIPTION

The first Sumatra inscription at Rotter-
dam of the season of 1903 took place on
April I. The American buyers were:

E. Rosen wald & Bro. 109 bales D C
M Deli.

A Cohn & Co. 117 bales P v d A H
and D C M Ueli B.

L Schmid & Co. 323 bales P v d A H
and 317 bales Arnhemia Deli.

H. Duys & Co, 300 bales D F M Deli.

S. Rossin & Sons. 100 bales Arnhemia
Deli.

Sutter Bros, 50 bales.

Prices at the sale were moderate and
some of the tobaccos were remarkably
fine.

Tax Assessment Sustatined.

At Jersey City. N. J., April 1, the Tax
Appeals Commissioners voted to sustain

Commissioners on the property of the
Tobacco Companies known as the Trust

go without, if he had to make the choice?
It is quite certain that he would have his
smokers, and, in the sense that smoking
is a habit, he would suffer if he had t )
go without. It seems fair to assert that
cig<ars are a necessity to mankind on
Sunday, and that it is neither a misde-
meanor nor a crime to either smoke
them, buy them or sell them on the
Sabbath.

It has been charged with more or less
truthfulness that some retailers who sell
cigars on Sunday are blamable in more
ways than one, to-wit: They permit loaf-
ers to congregate in and about their

people ate honestly opposed to men buy-
a necessary smoke or pipe of tobacco on
Sunday — assuming that the transaction
is conducted in keeping with the spirit of
the day — in a quiet and respectable
manner — and it is quite probable that
such transactions will be permitted in
Philadelphia in the near future.

Former Judge Gordon so vigorously
punched holes in the odious Blue Law
of 1794, at the recent hearing of the Sun-
day opening cases before Magistrate Gor-
man, that it would seem a wise move for
the cigar dealers who may be arrested in
the future to secure his services to con-
tend that the telling of cigars on Sunday
is as lawful as the printing of newspapers,
selling the same, making and selling ice
cream, etc.

8 During 190*2 the nu)st striking novelty in I He
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of
Tobacco by Divers Hands." The series wlurh
began on January 1, with a chapter entitled The
Troth Aboutthe Discovery of Tobacco," contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald &
Bro of New York, and now the president of the
National Cigar Leaf Association . ende<l on December
24 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester,
N H Each of the other fifly chapters was con
tributed by a different, but equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the "Comic
History of Tobacco' by Divers Hands' truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of! o
bicco" will be published in book form. hands«.n:cly
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and will

readers of The Tobacco World, will continue
throughout wm to pour out the treasures of his
learning and the geniality of his unfailing good
humor for the benefit of his friends among the pale-
faces. A year under the instruction of the Medicine
Man is a liberal education.

10. If von w:uit a tenth reason for enrolling your
name on' The Tobacco World's subscription list

question : '" Why sliouM not I read what all n'y

A cash prize of Twenty-five Dollars for the
best description of a retail cigar store. •

This does not mean a description of the finest

Competition closes March 25tli and the win-
ning description will be published as soon there-
after as possible.

A cash prize of Twenty-five Dollars for the
best description of a cigar leaf salesman's trip in
the pursuit of business — only in pursuit of hisl
business. What is wanted is the best piece of
writing on a subject with which many very
bright men are thoroughly familiar. What are
most distinctly not wanted are " high ball car "
gossip, love adventures or dialect stories. Cigar

prize here offered will be kind enough to for-
ward their communications on or before April
15, 1903. The prize description will be published!

four rents per pound was never equalled
and certainly never excelled by any set
of excise breakers on e.irth. The traffic
was made easier from the fact that tlie
"block ider" had the sympathy of all
his fellow-inen. Everybody seemed to
think it righteous work except the revenue
officials, who for the consideration of
their five dollars per diem, managed or
pretended to think otherwise.

TOBACCO BLOCKADING AFTER
THE WAR.

At the reqi e-t of a subscriber in V'icks-
bu g, I leprint the very readablv paper

into the Inspectors pockets.

common as the knowing ones asserted,

The gieat miss of the people still
regarded the Federal government exactly
as they did while hemmed in by Grant's
bayonets at the North and Sherman's
torches at the South. It was a hostile
government; a government whose power
was founded, not on the free w 11 of the
governed, as even its very constitution
declared that all government should be,
but i;po 1 force and the bayonet. Taxa-
tion without representation was as much
tyranny now as of yore, they said.

To evade the payment of an excessive
tax, levied by this so-regarded hostile
power, was considered not only blame-
less, but laudable. ' Manufactured to-
bacco was excessively taxed— sixty-four
cents per pound — therefore to evade the
payment of the tobacco tax was not only
blameless but laudable. The very name
chosen to designate the business— for it
rapidly grew into a regular business with
many — was "blockading," the same term
applied to the contraband traffic carried
on through the hostile fleets in time of
actual war.

The ingenuity, the shifts, the artifices
* used to evade the payment of that sixty-

concuirent rumors are to be believe, this
system of collecting finally became a
complete burlesque. Thousands of
boxes received the genuine "Tax Paid'"
brand on which not a mill was paid
either to Uncle Sam or to his facile repre-
sentative.

Many and many a night while the In-
spector, snugly tucked in the "company "
bed, snored away under the effects of the
royal cheer of eatables and drinkables
forced upon him, deft hands explored
his saddle bags, abstiacted the brand and
put it to work with a vim it never knew
except on such occasions.

As the sold limit was the very elastic
one of a tobacco manufacturer's con-
science not only every box of tobacco in
the factory was emblazoned with the
potent legend.' "Tax Paid," but the yet
unused "headings" or box tops, and every
potential "heading " in the way of oak
plank, was pretty sure to be thus honored.
One greedy tobacconist is reported to
have converted every square foot of tim-
ber in a large plank kiln into "Tax Paid"
box headings worth forty-two dollars
apiece. Another genius, when plank ran
short and no more was to be had
"skelped" off the sides of trees, covered
the smoothed surface with the coveted

words and later on managed somehow to with tlour p.iste, no matter how well

Hut at length an inspired fellow asked of an hour or two in cold water, and

showing that almost one-half of the

lengthy one and the uniqueness of the

pealing. The mythtdogy of the entire

the letter is stylotyped and names fittiuR-

The Question of Loungers.

The question whether a retail cigar

of dealer should permit "lounging" in his

' store is one which has many points of

oughly believe in
advertising that
they employ but
few or no salesmen,
depending upon a
timely, well-written
combined booklet
and price list and
newspaper adver-
tising to sell their
products.

In advertising ci-
gars the chief point
to be borne in mind
is that the consumer
"pays the freight;"
that is. pays for and
smokes the cigars,
and hence, the pur-
pose of the adver-
tising should be to
convince the con-
sumer that the ad.
vertiser's cigars or

tobaccos are worth buying, possess merit
and will give the buyer satisfaction. The
more 'convincing an advertisement is
anent these points, the more successful it
will prove as a trade puller. Other
merchants have found by experience that
this is true and those who try the plan in
the future will undoubtedly find it to be
the same.

In the case of the average cigar store
retailer, let him write out a list of names
of men who may, properly approached,
become patrons. Why not send them a
booklet? In addition to sending a book-
let to each of the names on the list keep
a number of the booklets in stock and
use them in place of regular business
cards. Follow the booklet with a folder
having for its subject, "Talks on Tobacco,"
or a similar topic. Tell about the differ-
ent tobaccos you have; of their special

windows will do wonders in selling cigars.
All of the cigar store windows are filled
with cards bearing the prices on the
various brands, some of which are
familiar, while others are practically un-
known. A dealer who has a penchant
for experimenting with the whims and
fancies of the public, put a large roughly
marked card in his window with the
name of a cigar that was altogether new
and had never been advertised. The
price was marked 9 cents each. As the
cigar had never been on sale before,
smokers, of course, knew nothing of its
quality or whether 9 cents was cheap or
high, yet there was an immediate demand
for that particular brand. Men took it
for granted that the cigar was a bargain
1 or it would not have been featured on a
I show card bearing the price.

f ut It on the Window.
A retailer of cigars should have the

water, and the highest mountains are
built of tiny grains of sand. Take caie
of the pence, for it is the pence that make
the pounds. Be careful and economical.

Be respectful to all. Civility costs
nothing, but it is a most important item
in business. If your customers like you
they will probably like your goods as
well. Always be liber.il in a case of
complamt, even if your customer is un-
reasonable. Better to lose a trifle and
make a good impression than displease a
customer. The loss is generally a good
recommendation.

Be honest in everything.

Employ caution; think out a thing
well before you enter upon it

Do everything that means keeping in
good health.

Avoid liquors of all kinds.

Do Not Be Discouraged.

One of the mistakes of the small dealer,
when he does determine to improve his
condition, is his tendency to look at the
biggest and brightest shops in the busi-

and sociable men can enjoy a short visit
and have a • 'good time." The majority
of respectable men have none too much
time to "loiter* ' and when they do choose
to put in a little time smoking a good
cigar they have earned the short respite
from business cares and duties, and are
sure to appreciate all courtesies shown
them and not abuse them. But as al-
ready noted, there are many viewpoints
of the question and very likely no general
rule can be applied. Each dealer must
do as he thinks best in the matter.

suspects they play cards for money or
do some kind of gaming there and wants

to the police to enter or stay in the com-
plainant s store. If they had any war-
rant, whether to arrest any one or search
the club premises, it was their duty to
execute it and go away. If they had no
wairant, then their presence w.is unlaw-
ful, whether in the complainant's store
or in the club rooms.

"The learned counsel for the defend-
1 ants cites a part of Sectio.i 315 of the
city charter as authorizing the defendants
to enter private houses and places with-
out warrants. It purports to make it
the duty of the police 'at all times of
the day and night' to 'carefully observe
and inspect all places of public amuse-
ment, all places of business having ex-
cise or other licenses to carry on any
business, all houses of ill fame or prosti-
tution and houses where common prosti-
tutes resort or reside. All lottery offices,
policy shops and places where lottery
tickets or lotteiy policies are sold or of-
fered for sale; all gambling houses, cock-
pits, ralpits, and public common dance
houses, and to repress and restrain all
unlawful and disorderly conducttherein.'
But this provision is not open to the
construction contended for, as the police
have been heretofore fully informed.

"The police may enter and inspect
licensed places to a reasonable extent,
but they have no such right in respect
of private houses and places. They can-
not enter the latter at will or on suspi-
cion, or on what they may choose to call
their suspicion. This charter provision
only means that ihey must observe and
inspect them from the outside. If it
meant more than this it would be void."

Lancaster, Pa., April 6, 1903.
A Meeting of the Lancaster Leaf To-
bacco Board of Trade was held Monday
evening at Martin's Hall, presided over
by John D. Skiles, for the purpose o
electing delegates to the National Asso-
ciation. As the full quota of members was
not present, Mr. Skiles appointed a
committee of two members (Joseph Gold-
berg and Walter S. Bare) to personally
i call on the absent members in the city
' and county, to impress upon them the
i importance of a fall representation on
the National Board. A special meeting
will be held on Saturday afternoon next,
at 3 o'clock, which it is hoped will be
largely attended, and as many delegates
be elected as the local association is en-
titled to in the National body.

CIGARETTES vs. LONG HOURS.

A BILL TO PERMIT SUNDAY

SELLING.
The outcome of Magistrate Gorman's
decision, which declares Sunday news-
papers and news agencies to be public
necessities, is not likely to be seriously
challenged. Bernard F. Owens, counsel
for the Business Mens Association, has
appealed some thirty-five cases wherein
retail cigar dealers were found guilty of
violating the Blue Liw from the decision
of the trial magistrate to the Common
Pleas Courts, and it is expected that some
one of the appeals will be argued in the
near future. It is generally expected
that the Courts will uphold Magistrate
Gorman's decision as respects the cases
urged by the Sabbath Associaton and
law and order element.

The Business men's .Association has
prepared an amendment to Senator
Berkelbach's Anti Blue law amendment,
now pending at Harrisbur};. which is in
the hands of the Senate Committee on
Law and Order. The amendment,
which, it is said, has been accepted by
Senator Berkelbach and other leaders^
will come up for passage next week. It
reads as follows :

An Act authorizing the sale of certain
articles and the performance of certain
labor on the firsf day of the week,
commonly called Sunday.
Section i. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Gen-
eral Assembly met, and it is hereby
enacted by the authority of the same.
That hereafter it shall be lawful to sell
drugs, medicines, soda and mineral
waters, milk, and other harmless non-
intoxicating drinks, bread, meat, oysters,
ice cream, candy, cakes, pastry, cigars
and tobacco, to prepare, print, distribute,

evident fact that more of them are on

NEW CIGAR FACTORY.
Channing Allen & Co. is the firm
name of a new cigar manufacturing com-
pany which has opened a neat office at
419 Locust street. Mr. Allen, of the
firm, was formerly of the Allen & Marshall
factory. It is yet a little early to give
details of what the new company intends
to do, save that it will manufacture cigars
for the market in its own factory and
otherwise carry on a general cigar manu-
facturing business.

OBITUARY.
M. K. Thomas, a well-known cigar
manufacturer of Allentown, died in that
city M irch 27 from Bright' s disease of
the kidneys. Mr. Thomas had an ex-
tensive acquaintance with the Philadel-
phia trade. -At the time of his death he
was 57 years of age. He transacted
business in Philadelphia for fifteen years,
then removed to Quakertown and later to
Allentown. A wife, son and adopted
daughter survive him.

IS IT ONLY A RUMOR?

A rumor was in circulation this week
that Acker, Merrall & Condit, wholesale
grocers and handlers of cigars, at 132
Chambers street, New York city, had
leased the new building at 1 105 Chestnut
street, Philadelphia, and would open a
branch store there. The rumor could
not be verified. A gentleman, who
claimed to be in a position to know.

probably be opened this week. The
usual handsome decorations and fixtures
found in the stores of the company are a
feature of the new stores and being on
the main retail shopping street are quite
sure to secure a good trade.

BEWARE THIS TRICKSTER.
The Philadelphia trade is warned
against a Southern schemester who has
been endeavoring to induce several
Philadelphia dealers to send him cigars
and tobaccos without accompanying the
order with money, references or guarantee.
The fellow has no rating with the com-
mercial agencies and asks that goods be

seed, quite naturally, should be selected
from which to grow an improved quality,
and this, treated as I have suggested,
should result in improving the quality
from five to ten per cent, on the first

crop."

Mr. Gartman's suggestions are inter-
esting, to say the least, and are given in
The Tobacco World in the hope that
some grower will utilize them and experi-
ment in the manner indicated. Ordinary
home cooking goes far to show that
objectionable tastes and qualities in foods
can readily be changed or obliterated,
leaving the food palatable and appetizing.

leased the building and not the New
York firm referred to. Felix Isman, real
estate dealer and agent, who has a sign
in the store window that he secured the
tenant, declined to furnish any informa-
tion on the subject. Several wholesale
grocery houses admitted that they had
heard the rumor that Acker, .Merrall &
Condit, of New York, had secured a
Philadelphia branch store, but none of
them were able to verify the report or
say where the firm's new place of busi-
ness would be.

TOBACCO BLOCKADING.

(Concluded from p. 6)
tlie tell-tale white top peddler's wagon,
traveled in a'l kinds of nondescript
vehicles. Sometimes it was a coipulent-
bodied buggy with a hundred weight or
two of plug stored undet the seat. Some-
times all that was to be seen was an in-
nocent rustic with a dilapidated turnout,
simply moving his household eftect of
chcbts, barrels and feather beds. ^'Ngain
it would be a load of fodder passing
which only the initiated knew to come
from a hundred or mote miles up the
country.

One manufacturer, who also owned a
mill, shipped countless "chunks' of plug
tobacco in the middle of barrels of tlour.
Much went off in trunks as wearing ap-
parel. Tons went as haidware in goods

found no books and practically no assets.
By other witnesses it was brought out that
a couple of days prior to the failure the
defendant had ordered all the books and
the papers of the firm taken to Bayonne,
N. J., where they were burned.

The compl linant against Kanter on
this trial was the firm of \'ietor & Achelis,
of 66 Leonard street, who charged him
with having obtained from them on Feb.
27, 1902, ^723 on false representations in
writing. It appeared that on Sept. 21 of
the previous year Kanter & Cohen had
sent a financial statement to the trade in
which they claimed (26,000 assets above
their liabilities. On this statement the
firm succeeded in obtaining credit from
various firms to the amount of $50,000
or thereabout.

Kanter was found guilty and has been

bo.xes by freight. At le i>t one lot is said j sentenced to imprisonment for five years.

to have been shipped in a coffin, with

the name of the deceased on the lid.
Blockading developed a reckless, \ en-

turesome type of men. It was a stren-
uous, eager life, half elation, half dread,

and all excitement. And the excitement

was about all the profit that most manu-
facturers and peddleis got out of it in

the long run. More profit inured to the

merchant than any one else. He bought
I blockade tobacco at about the maiket
I price for stamped tobacco, less the tax,

and retailed it as high as if he had paid

the whole tax. When in the late seven-
ties the tobacco tax was made so low that

there was little or no benefit in evading

it, blockading waned and finally died a

natural de.ith.

I would not be underbtood to aftirm

that every tobacco m.mufaciuier, or even

every peddler, was a blockader. I can

only say that I never knew one of either

—and I knew many of each calling —

who was not mortally afraid of a stranger

in a top buggy — more afraid of hmi. as

FRAUDULENT DEBTOR PUNISHED.

It has at length been demonstrated
that there is a way to punish fraudulent
debtors. Charles Kanter, of 71 West
1 15th street. New York, was on trial last
week before Recorder Goff in the Court
of (ieneral Sessions on a charge of grand
larceny in the first degree.

Kanter was tried on only one out of
five indictments of the saine nature, which
had been found against him. He was a
member of the firm of Kanter ^: Cohen,
dealers in woolens and dress goods at 622
Broadway, which failed for #50,000 a
year ago. Altogether it is believed that
the trade was swindled out of from $75,-
000 to 1 1 00, 000 through the operations

THE CELEBRATED "ACT OF 1794."

The obnoxious Blue Law of 1794,
under which numerous cigar dealers have
been arrested for selling cigars and to-
baccos on Sunday, is herewith given in
full for the edification of the readers of
The Tobacco World :

"If any person shall do or perform any
worldly employment or business whatso-
ever on the Lord's Day, commonly called
Sunday, works of necessity and charily
only excepted, or shall use or practice
any unlawful game, hunting, shooting,
sport or diversion whatsoever on the
same day. and be convicted thereof,
every person so offending shall for every
such otVense foifeit and pay $^, to be
levied by distress."

Cigarettes Barred From Canadck..

A dispatch from Ottawa, Canada, under
date of April i. says: The women re-
formers of Canada won a great moral
victory in the Commons to-day in the
adoption of Mr. Bickerdikes motion de-
claring for the prohibition of the impor-
tation, manufacture and sale of cigarettes
in Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, though
he never smokes, was against it.

— To-day smokers are numbeicd by
millions, a fact for which the treasuries of
most nations have to be devoutly thank-
ful. It is estimated that 1,000.000,000
acres of land are devoted to the culture
of tobacco. The vorld consumes yearly

6,300.000,000 pounds of the weed, worth
$200,000,000.

Cuban Scenes and Cuban People.

A Tobacco Field in the Tumbadero District.

Amon^ importC'S of Havan.i leaf and manufac-
turers of Havana cigars one hears much of lumba-
dero. The tumbadero leaf is grown in the Partido
district in the Province of Havana, and when the
crop is a good one as a whole, the tumbadero is apt
to be the finest leaf grown. It is large and hin.
and makes excellent wrappers.

The plantation of which the reader gets a glimpse/ Cuban filler tobacco. Soil has been found in that
in the first of the two pictures published this week disfict suitable for growing the better grades of leaf

A TOBACCO PLANTATION IN THE
TUMBADERO DISTRICT.

IS within a short ride on horseback from the raiUay
station of San Antonio. The photographer has been
remarkably successful alike with the growing tobacco
in the foreground and with the trees in the back-
ground. Of the three men in the picture he to the
let is the owner of the plantation.

How the Vegueros of Cuba. Live.

In the second picture we have this
same plant ition owner, again to the left,
while to the right is a group made up of
the members of the family of his tenant,
or veguero. They are lepresented stand-
ing before the palm thatched hut in which
they live. Cuba is a children's paradise
and the veguero' s little boy, barefoot and
simply rlad as he is, has a glorious time
the whole day long. He is only a coun-
try lad and by and by, if he lives so long,
he will be a tenant tobacco farmer himself
Meantime he enjoys life and envies no
other boy on earth.

InCuba mostof thetobacco plantations
are worked by tenant farmers who receive
a share of the crop for their labor, but
some of these vegueros own their own
tiny plantations of from ten to twenty
acres. It is exceedingly difficult to buy
tobacco lands in Cuba. The people who
own land, in the tobacco growing sections
of the island particularly, cling to their
holdings with a passionate devotion.
Their native soil is all they know and
they care for very little else.

— A party of tobacco growers has been
sent to Hartsville, Darlington county, S.
C. , to conduct experiments in growing

Three acres of tobacco will be planted and grown
under the care of experts. If the experiments are
successful, it is the Government's intention to keep
the tobarco pary in South Carolina for another sea-
son at leist. in order to be able to instruct the plant-
ers as to the proper methods to be used in the culti-
vation of this grade of tobacco.

+THE T0B/ieeO WORLB+

WHY THE CIGAR INDUSTRY IS STEADILY GROWING.

By A. Levison

THE LEAF TOBACCOS which go to the making of cigars are by
this time so thoroughly understood that I should be taking up
Space unwarrantedly were I to attempt to describe them, or any of them,
and yet it is a fact that the leaf handling trade and the cigar manufac-
turers of the United States take an ever fresh delight in information as
to how this or that type of leaf is coming up to or falling away from its
own standard. Thus, every spring news of the new Sumatra is awaited
with the greatest interest. Is the new crop larger than the last? Are
the colors as good? Does the leaf abound in spots? Is it thin and
silky? And, above all, is it a better or a poorer yielder than the last
crop? Those who handle Sumatra, either as importers or dealers or as
cigar manufacturers, always await the arrival of samples of the new crop
with a keen interest. And yet the man who buys Sumatra wrapped ci
gars seldom gives these subjects a thought. Cigars wrapped with
Sumatra secure their public through their appearance, and, to the man
who does not buy and sell leaf tobacco for a livelihood, or make or sell
cigars, one such cigar looks very much like another. This is always
the difference between the trained and the untrained eye. To the ex-
perienced eye of the man who imports or sells Sumatra tobacco, or who
utilizes it in the manufacture of cigars, the minutest shade of color, the
faintest possible differenct in the "feel," and many other infinitely small
details about this leaf, are of importance.

And the domestic cigar leaf crops, too, may each season count
upon their own share of popular attention. Each must come up to well
understood requirements. If they don't, then there is a scramble for
representative tobaccos of the older crops, and somewhere, somehow, the
desired tobaccos are found. And thus it goes on year after year, with
unfailing regularity. Whether the supply be large or small, the demand
is always met. The consuming public always gets what it is willing to
pay for. Popular taste in the matter of cigars appears to be pretty much
the same all over the United States. The cigar which pleases the Mid
die West may be counted upon to please any other part of the country.
It is only in the matter of shape that fashions differ. Everything else
is stable excepting that cigar manufacturers are constantly improving
thtir product. We are making better cigars in the United btates to day
than we made five years ago, or even three years ago. Those that are
to be made next year will be better than those we are making to day —
superior in aroma, in workmanship, in appearance And so it will go
on indefinitely. We are learning all the time, because we are studying
all the time.

The growing, the packing, the handling and the manipulation
into cigars of all the many types of leaf which we use in our cigar in
dustry, are a constant subject of study by many thousands of earnest,
painstaking, intelligent men. This has been the condition in the
United States for the past fifty years and the result is that, despite a
heavy tariff on imported tobaccos, we are enabled to turn out more and
more thousands of millions of good inexpensive cigars every year.

That is my theory of the steadily expanding cigar industry of this
country. A. Lkvison.

END OF BOX STUFFING IN SIGHT.

The Brown non-refillable cigar box,
which will put the box stuffers out of
business, will be ready for delivery in
quantities by about May 15. In the
meantime the Brown Non-Refillable Ci-
gar Box Co., of 150 Nassau street, New
York, which manufactures this useful in-
vention, will send a sample box on ap-
plication to any responsible manufacturer
who will ask for it

Morris Brown, the President of the
company, has spent all of his adult years
in connection with the manufacture of
cigars. He was for a long time in the
»*rvice of the well-known firm of Bondy
& Lederer. He says the idea of a non-
rtfillable cigar box came to him in a
flash, but that he spent five years in per-
fecting it The Brown non-refillable ci-

gar box costs seven-eighths of a cent
more than the ordinary cigar box, but its
employment obviates the necessity for
expensive cigar bands and is an infalli*
ble way to foil box stuffers.

PROSPERITY OF PORTO RICO.

James S. Harlan, who has been in
Porto Rico the last two years as Attorney
General of the island, says that besides
the tariff the insular government has es-
tablished a system of internal revenue
taxes, and the Federal system of internal
revenue taxation has not been extended
to the island, so that every dollar col-
lected on the manufacture of cigars, ci-
garettes, rum, spirits and other products,
which in other parts of the United States
pay a tribute to the Federal Treasury,
remains in Porto Rico with the island
treasury.

TR.UE TOBACCO ROMANCES.
XVI.— Fred Davis's Best Story.

Fred Davis, of Samuel I. Davis y Ca,,
kept everybody at his end of the table in
a roar at the recent dinner of the Havana
Cigar Manufacturer's Association at
Luchow's restaurant in New York. Mr.
Davis is as funny as Dave Warfield and
Pete Dailey rolled ino one and has a
larger fund of funny stories than both
those famous comedians put together.

The funniest story Mr, Davis told is
about as follows:

"About ten years ago I was in San
Antonio, Texas, trying to sell my firm's
cigars. I was newer at the business than
I am now, and, like most young sales-
men, with very little confidence in my-
self, though, then as now, firmly con-
vinced of the merits of my goods.
Whenever I was planning an attack upon
some particularly desirable jobber my
heart would mount into my throat and
do all kinds of stunts there. And I was
so easily rebuffed, too! A frown, or a
hasty expression indicating that my visit
was unwelcome or ill timed, would finish
me completely. And all the time of
which I am more particularly speaking
San Antonio was filled with experienced
and well known cigar salesmen. Among
them the late Fred V. Simons was especi-
ally conspicuous. Mr. Simons was the
king pin among cigar salesmen visiting
the South. San Antonio was always a
golden field with him, and Rafael Diaz,
the big wholesaler, was one of Mr.
Simons' best customers. Now I had had
my own eye on Mr. Diaz for a long while,
but every time I started to enter his store
my heart failed me. I used to lay awake
nights planning how to approach Mr.
Diaz, but when the test came and I found
myself actually on the threshold of his
door I somehow felt unequal to the at-

tack and would always turn away without
even entering the place.

"One day while I was standing irreso-
lutely on the sidewalk near Mr. Diaz's
place of business Fred Simons came
along. He was, as was usual with him,
in a very debonair mood. He had no
difficulty at all in worming out of me the
secret of my too obvious uneasiness.
Then he laughed very heartily but very
goodnaturedly. All the time we were
talking he was munching some peanuts
he had bought of a nearby street vendor.
Taking me by the arm he marched me
into Mr. Diaz's store, munching peanuts
all the while. His reception by Mr. Diaz
was most cordial. He didn't introduce
me to Mr. Diaz but I stood quite near,
and the way Simons talked cigars to
Diaz that morning was one of the most
valuable lessons in the art of salesman-
ship I ever received. Simons munched
peanuts throughout the entire interview
and threw the shells indifferently upon
the floor. It seemed to me that Mr.
Diaz rather liked it, and accordingly the
next morning when I entered Mr. Diaz's
place of business I had provided myself
with a stock of peanuts from the same
vendor whom Mr. Simons had patronized
the day before. These I munched as I
entered the place. Mr. Diaz frowned
very darkly when he saw me but he said
nothing until I began throwing the
shells on the floor. Then shouting very
angrily 'don't throw those blankety blank
peanut shells on the floor, ' he turned on
his heel, and that was the extent of the
business I did with Mr. Diaz that day.
That wasn't at all encouraging. All the
same, I had learned from Mr. Simons
the valuable lesson that self confidence
in a salesman is of inestimable value to
him in his career."

Dr. Lederle has also announced that
the anti-spitting regulations will be much
more drastic under the provisions of a
revised and extended Sanitary Code,
which is ahnost completed. Every pub-
lic walk, whether in street, avenue, park,
square or place, as well as the floors of
tenements, lodging houses, theatres, and

plainants aver, is not true. They ask
for protec ion against the "foreign con-

At the headquarters of the American
Tobacco Company in New York city, on
April 9, it was said that nothing is known
there of the Dresden Cigaretten Fabrik.
The only cigarette factory in Dresden
which is owned by the American To-
bacco Co. is that of George Jasmatzi.

8 During 1902 the most striking novelty in The
Tobacco World was " The Comic History of

began on January 1, with a chapter entitled ''The
Truth Aboutthe Discovery of Tobacco, ' ' contributed
by Mr. Sigmund Rosenwald, of E. Rosenwald &
Bro , of New York, and now the president of the
National Cigar Leaf Association , ended on December
24 with a chapter entitled " The Immortality of
Jean Nicot," contributed by Mr. Roger G. Sullivan,
the well-known cigar manufacturer of Manchester.
N. H. Each of the other fifly chapters was con-
tributed by a different, but equally well-known
individual, and the whole work was so well done,
so brilliant, so enjoyable as to make the " Comic
History of Tobacco by Divers Hands" truly the
Tobacco Lovers' Classic. ' 'The Comic History of! o
bicco" will be published in book form, handsomely
bound in cloth, and beautifully illustrated, and will
l)c sent to any address in the United States. Porto
Rico or the Philippines on receipt of |1.00, postage

GETTING THE NEWS OF THE
INSCRIPTIONS.

A New York leaf merchant commented
in my hearing the other day upon the
fact that The Tobacco World's news of
purchases of Sumatra at the inscriptions
in Holland is always the fullest and the
most accurate. He asked me if The
Tobacco World's information on the sub-
ject of the inscriptions were cabled and
I answered in the negative. If news
gathering in Holland engaged the atten-
tion of the same class of men that in the
United States give their lives to this
pursuit it would be the duty of The To-
bacco World and of every other tobacco
trade paper published, to have its own
representative on the ground in Amster-
dam or Rotterdam, instructed to cable
at once particulars, of each inscription.
It happens to be the fact, however, that
news gathering in Holland is not one of
the remunerative professions. A Sumatra
inscription in Amsterdam or Rotterdam,
and particularly in Amsterdam is ani-
mated and picturesque. Each inscrip-
tion could easily aflford scope for the pen
of an eloquent writer, yet inscriptions
come and inscriptions go and the news-
papers of Holland give them no atten-
tion. As to the tobacco trade papers
this is the truth : One of the neighbor-
hood papers in New York city does re-
ceive a cable which purports to give the
purchases made at each inscription, but
these reports, while accurate as far as
they go, are always more or less incom-
plete, and frequently more than less.
This is chiefly due to the fact that the
man who sends them is not a professional
ne*sgatherer. He is a very estimable
gentleman, himself a large buyer of
Sumatra tobacco, and the information
which he cables over has been honestly
gotten together by himself and as hon-
estly published by the paper which he
represents. It is never complete, as is
made plain every time one of his cables
is published, by the fact that immediately
following it are usually to be found
further details gathered in New York.

There is no reason whatever for cabled
reports of the inscriptions. All that is
needed is a professional newsgatherer in
New York with sufficient physical energy
to call on every importer with the object

of collecting the news. The list of such
importers is short enough: E. Rosenwald
& Bro., Rothschild & Bro.. L. Schmid
& Co., A. Cohn & Co.. H. Duys & Co.,
F. & E. Cranz, Pretzfeld & Co., G. Falk &
Bro., S. Rossin & Sons, Joseph Hirsch
& Son., E. Spingarn & Co., M. F.
Schneider, Leonard Friedman & Co. ,
Hinsdale Smith & Co , Lichtenstein Bros. ,
Sutter Bros., S. Ashner, L. Goldschmidt,
Simon Auerbach &Co. , John H. Goetze.
There, I think that is the complete list.
Every inscription day these houses, or
most of them, receive their own cables
as to the day' s transactions in Amsterdam
or Rotterdam. Some houses receive
earlier cables than others, but between
II a. m., and 4 p. in., all the cables are
in, and the information they contain is
at the service of the reporters. They can
get it if ihey will only go after it But
it is not every reporter who is fond of
using his legs. Some of them get tired
and do not call a second time on a house
which on the first call is not able to ex-
hibit its cable. But the reporters earn-
ing wages on The Tobacco World under-
stand very clearly that it is their legs
they are paid for using. Brains may be
bought any day and are much cheaper.

The foregoing observations remind me
of a letter I received during the inscrip-
tion season of 1902. The writer, who
was rather censorious, hinted that the
New York Sumatra importers usually ex-
aggerated the amount of their purchases.
It is quite possible that some of them do
and I opine no one will censure them
for doing so who has any sympathy what-
ever with a merchant who seizes a chance
to get a little free advertising. Never-
theless, I am prepared to certify that in
the main there is not on the face of the
earth a more truthful lot of merchants
than these same Sumatra importers of
New York. They may occasionally over-
state the quantity of a particular pur-
chase. That is sometimes good general-
ship. But, on the other hand they never
lie about the undermark they have pur-
chased. That is good morals. In an
experience of nearly twenty years I have
never known a Sumatra importer to tell
a reporter a lie on this subject.

The legs of the reporters employed
in New York by The Tobacco World are
in first-class condition. Wherefore, il
you want accurate and complete news on
the subject of the inscriptions, read The
Tobacco World.

THE "EXTRAVAGANCE" OF SMOKING.

Schoharie, N. Y., April 11, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man:

At breakfast the other morning my
mother-in-law, who is really a very sweet
old lady, read out with great glee the
statement attributed to the late Gustavus
F. Swift, of Chicago, to the effect that no
young man, no matter how rich he might
be, could afford to smoke 25 cent cigars
habitually. Twenty-five cent cigars hap-
pen to be my own pet extravagance. I
smoke three of them a day, and as I
happen to be rather a wealthy man this
expenditure seems to me to do no harm.
My mother-in-law, who is both well-to-do
and well preserved, and who is more-
over fond of dress and carriages and the
theatre and jewelry, nevertheless affects
to believe that my indulgence in ex-

pensive cigars will bring us all to the
poorhouse. Please tell me how I shall
answer her. FuMicuss.

ANSWER.

I suggest that you read to your mother-
in-law the following from the pen of
Philip Gilbert Hamerton:

"The reader has, I daresay amongst
his acquaintances ladies, who on hearing
any habitual cigar smoker spoken of,
are always ready to exclaim against the
enormity of such an expensive and use-
less indulgence; and the cost of tobacco-
smoking is generally cited by its enemies
as one of the strongest reasons for its
general discontinuance. One would im-
agine, to hear people talk, that smoking
was the only selfish indulgence in the
world. When people argue in this
strain, I immediately assume the of-
fensive. I roll back the tide of war right
into the enemy's intrenched camp of
comfortable customs; I attack the ex-
pensive and unnecessary indulgences of
ladies and gentlemen who do not smoke.
I take cigar-smoking of, say half-a-crown
a day, and pipe smoking three-pence.
I then compare the cost of these indulg-
ences not a whit more necessary, which
no one ever questions a man's right to,
if he can pay for them.

"There is luxurious eating, for in-
stance. A woman who has got the habit
of delicate eating, will easily consume
dainties to the amount of half-a crown a
day, which cannot possibly do her any
good beyond the mere gratification of
the palate. And there is the luxury of
carriage keeping in many instances very
detrimental to the health of women, by
entirely depriving them of the use of their
legs. Now, you cannot keep a carriage
agoing quite as cheaply as a pipe. Many
a fine meerschaum keeps up its cheerful
fire on a shilling a week.

"I am not advocating a sumptuary law
to put down carriages and cooking; I
desire only to say that people who in-
dulge in these expensive and wholly
superfluous luxuries, have no right to be
so very hard on smokers for their in-
dulgence.

"Then there is wine. Nearly every
gentleman who drinks good wine at all,
will drink the value of half-a-crown a
day. The ladies do not blame him lor
this. Half-a-dozen glasses of good wine
are not thought an extrav gance in any
man of fair means, but women exclaim
when a man spends the same amount in
smoking cigars.

"The French habit of coffee-drinking,
and the Enghsh haoit of tea drinking are
also cases in point. They are also quite
asexpensiveasordinary tobacco smoking;
and, like it, defensible only on the
ground of the pleasurable sensation they
communicate to the nervous system. But
these habits are so universal that no one
thinks of attacking them, unless now and
then some persecuted smoker in self-
defense. Tea and tobacco are alike
sedative, delicious, and — deleterious.
The two indulgences will, perhaps, be
come equally necessary to the English
world. It is high treason to the English
national feeling to say a word against tea.
which is now so universally recognized as
a national beverage, that people forget
that it comes from China, and is both

alien and heathen. Still, I mean no
offence when 1 put tea in the same cate-
gory with tobacco. Now who thinks of
lecturing us on the costliness of tea.-" And
yet it is a mere superfluity. The habit
of taking it as we do is unknown across
the channel, and was quite unknown
amongst ourselves a very little time ago,

when English people were no less proud
of themselves and their customs than they
are now ; and, perhaps, with equally good
reason .

"A friend of mine tells me that he
smokes every day at a cost of about six-
pence a week. Now, I should like to
know in what other way so much enjoy,
ment is to be bought for sixpence. Fancy
the satisfaction of spending sixpence a
week in wine litis well enough to preach
about the selfishness of this expenditure;
but we all spend money selfishly, and
we all love pleasure; and I should very
much like to see that cynic whose pleas-
ures cost less than sixpence a week.

"It is needless to allude to field sports
and luxurious dress, whose enormous cost
bears no more proportion to the cost of
smoking, than Chateau Margot to small
beer, or turtle soup to Scotch broth.

"Besides, tobacco is good for the wits,
and makes us moralise. All the above
sagacious observations came out of a
single pipe of tobacco; and the cleverest
parts of many clever books and review
articles are all tobacco."

A TOBACCO QUOTATION FROM

THE BIBLE.

Brooklyn, N. Y., April 13, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man :

Of course I know that tobacco is not
mentioned in the Bible. Nevertheless I
ask you for a quotation from the Bible
that will fit a smoker to be given by our
church. Can you fit us out ?

Presbyterian.

ANSWER..

"Raise up for them a plant of renown."
This is from the 34th chapter of EzekieL
*^*

THE WAIL OF THE CABBAGE.

St. Louis, Mo., April 10, 1903.
Dear Medicine Man :

During the American-Spanish war I
read somewhere some verses bewailing
the fact that we would no longer get cigars
from Havana. If you can place those
verses will you kindly reprint them,?
Charles Brandewicdb.

ANSWER.

The verses for which you ask were
written by E. L. Aultman. He entitled
them The Wail of the Cabbage. They
are as follows:

Mercy on me! shades of Grover!

Will my troubles ne'er be over?
I am tired of wearing labels not my own;

Ere this cruel war's beginning,

I was never forced to sinning.
But content to mix with pork and beans
alone.

Now I'm used to pad a "Killer"

And as "straight Havana filler,"
You will find me in a fancy colored box;

While your mild "perfectos" savor

Of my own peculiar flavor,
Even though indorsed the choice of
Delia Fox.

There are "mixtures" sworn exotic,
Sleep inducing, mild, narcotic,
Tempting you with fragrance rare beyond
a doubt;
But when o'er your pipe you're dream-
ing,
Comes an essence of the steaming,
Piercing, unctuous odor of old sauerkraut

Dewey, Sampson, Wheeler, Shafter,
Hurry, grab the land you're after,
Let the plains of Cuba yield again the
weed;
I am tired of this transition,
Rather have my old position,
Where the free lunch grabber takes his
daily feed.

The Medicine Man,

Mrs. V«Li\derbilt
Sells Cigars.

When a Vander-
bilt goes into the tea
and cigarette bad-
ness it would seem
as though the fact
should interest re-
tail cigar dealers all
over the country.
And here is the in-
teresting bit of
news: Mrs. Jacob
H. Vanderbilt last
week ope n ed a shop
on Fifth avenue,

New York, for the sale of tea, cigars and
novelties Mrs. Vanderbilt was married
in 1886 to Jacob H. Vanderbilt, Jr., a
cousin several times removed of William
K. Vanderbilt In 1896 she obtained a
divorce. Speaking of her new venture
Mrs. Vanderbilt said :

"I don't know what will be thought of
my starting in business, but other women
are making a success in similar under-
takings and why shouldn't I ?"

One of Mrs. Vanderbilfs ideas is a
tea room in which she will brew and pour
a special brand of Ceylon tea for custom-
ers. She will also sell cigars and cigar-
ettes suitable for serving at dinner parties.
• • •
Why Not the Sparkling Soda?
Many retail cigar dealers in various

cities of the United States are seriously

contemplating adding a soda fountain to

their stores during the coming summer.

They claim that it is as fair for them to

sell soda water as it is for druggists and

grocers to sell cigars and that a soda

ountain would probably materially aid

industry is concerned; others express
some doubt and will not speak so opti-

undergone the first sweat in the piles.
Heavy quality fillers may be scarce in
the 1903 crop, and light, clean colored
wrappers will in all probability not be
abundant The Partido growth, gener
ally speaking, is said to be shorter in
quantity and less desirable for wrapping
purposes, owing to numerous "manchas. "
Fillers, as a rule, may be too flimsy and
without any aroma. Of couise a small
part of the crop, principally the temprano
cut (before the January rains set in) is
said to be excellent and superior to 1 ist
year's leaf. The Remedios crop, or at
least the greater part of it, is still con-
demned as unfit for the United Stales
market and whether the washed leaf will
produce any appreciable quantity of light
wrappers is an unsolved problem.

purchasable, others are not. Still,
while the American saying might hold
true, as to "every man having hisprire."
the latter might be so high as to prove a
stumbhng block even to the all-powerful
Trust, and before such deeds of title
could be registered some legislative
measures might check any pending oper-
ations, ere it would be too late.

So far as England is concerned it is
known that the chief importing house of
Wm. Klingenstein & Co., of London,
has an understanding with the Trust, it
being reorganized as a company under
the name of Wm. Klingenstein & Co.,
Ltd., and being capitalized at ^600.000.
or say ^300,000 in shares of preferred
stock, upon which a dividend of 5 per
cent, per annum is guaranteed, and
;^300,ooo of common stock. Of the
board of directors the Trust controls four,
owning 51 per cent., and Mr. Klingen-
stein names three, owning only 49 per

cent.
That everything is not smooth sailing

for the Trust may be deduced from one
instance where a commission merchant
here received some orders from England
aggregating 500,000 cigars, and ol this
quantity 494,000 were to be executed by
independent factories, while only 6,000
cigars were to be purchased of the Trust
goods. Naturally as the latter will not
execute this order for England, the com-
mission house in question loses its com-
mission upon 6,000 cigars. In explana-
tion of this it may be said that this house
has seen the trend of measures coming
and h.as advised all of its friends to send
only orders for the goods of the inde-
pendent factories.

The independent cigar manufacturers ,
here are not dismayed by the actions of
the Trust, and as they are all busy not-
withstanding the fact thatthe dull period
of the year is upon us, it is to be hoped
that the connoisseurs of Havana cigars
all over the world will continue to appre-
ciate the excellence of their products.

DoiBRi of Havtat Hobscs and of Biycrs.

H. Upmann & Co. have executed
orders for 1.300,000 cigars during the
last fortnight, and have also purchased
and shipped 500 bales of Vuelta Abajo j
and Remedios tobacco for their particular ;
friends in the U nited States and Germany .

Hruno Diaz & Co. have sold 500 bales
of Vuelta Abajo and Remedios to city ;
fa( lories and Northern buyers, in which
was included a lot of new 'libra de pie" j
(80 bales) from the Remates district. As '
their escojidas in Alc|uizar and also in
the Vuelta Abajo are working they are
receiving some new Partido and Vuelta
Abajo factory vegas weekly.

Leslie Pantin, active as usual, has pur-
chased 1 ,000 bales of various kinds for
his customers.

Juan Diaz Inguanzo has sold 500 bales
of tobacco.

The Loeb- Nunez Havana Co. were
shippers of 224 bales of different kinds.

Frank J. Davenport purchased 500
of the best first capaduras of Remedios to
be had in the market, for his Hosion firm.

Puente y Cueto disposed of 500 bales
of first and second capaduras of Remedios.

J. Spector acquired some 500 bales of
V^uelta Abaja factory fillers.

Sanchez & Cueto sold 300 bales of
Vuelta Abajo to local factories.

Leonard Friedman & Co. have many
orders for first and second capaduras of |
Remedios. Their friends have evidently \
come to the conclusion that these grades
will be scarcer and higher next season,
and to supply these wants the firm has
purch ised lately in the country and in
this iwarket. This house still has some
very fine Vuelta Abajo factory vegas for
sale, although it would surprise nobody
to hear of their being sold before long,
for the local manufacturers are scouring
the market for all desirable goods.

Manuel Menendez Parra disposed of
300 b des of Remedios.

Sidney Goldberg, after having pur-
chased some of the finest Tumbadero
vegas for their escojida in Alquizar dur-
ing his recent trip to the Partidos, started
Saturday last for the Vuelta Arriba dis-
trict to acqu.iint himself of the actual
condition of the new crop, and to secure
some of the goods of the 1902 crop, pro-
vided they can be had at the right prices.

TO HEAD OFF THE U. C. S. Co.

Up in Springfield, Mass., and also in
Worcester, the proprietor of Green' s drug
stores in both those cities is selling all
locally popular brand:- of cigars at prices
greatly below what he pays for them.
Thus he sells Traiser & Co's. Pippins,
which costs him $34 a thousand for 2
cents. Barnett's B. B., and J. Whit-
comb & Sons, Wmthrope, both very
popular 10 cent brands, he sells at 5
cents, which is from I to i}^ cents less
than he pays for them.

Mr. Green's object in this cutting
prices is said to be to prevent the United
Cigar Stoies Company from opening
stoies in Springfield and Worcester.

T. C. WILLIAM'S TOBACCO CO.
ABSOR.BED.

The T. C. Williams Tobacco Co. of
Richmond, Va., which is said to be the
largest independent concern in the South,
is to pass into the possession of the
British-American Tobacco Company.
It is understood that $4,000,000 repre-
sents the purchase price.

T. C. Williams, Jr., Vice President,
said on April 10: "Negotiations for the
sale of the plant to the British American
have been pending for several days.
We submitted a statement of our assets,
and an examination of our books is now
being made, and upon verification of
that statement the plant will be sold.
The sale will be absolute, the British-
American purchasing all the stock."

The Williams Company was estab-
lished sixty years ago by the late James
Thomas, father-in-law of the late Dr.
J. L. M. Curry. Minister to Spain and
agent of the Peabody fund.

This is an enormous yield.

DIFFERENT CIGAR.ETTE LAWS.

As already noted in The Tobacco
World Governor Pennypacker signed the
anti-cigarette law passed bv the;, State
Legislature last week. Odd to say, at
about the same time Governor ^jppby,
of New Jersey, vetoed a siimiar law
passed by the Assembly of that State.
And more odd still is the anti-cigarette
law passed by the Utah Legislature.
Instead of punishmg anyone for selling
cigarettes, etc., to minors, the Utth law
provides a penalty of $$ fine or five days
imprisonment upon anyone under 18
years of age who smokes cigarettes or who
has them or tobacco in his possession.
Commenting upon this Utah law one
large cigarette manufacturer said: • 'That's
the kind of law I'd like to see here in
Pennsylvania, To strike at the dealer
is to make a miscue. Strike at the
youths who use them — who, as it is now,
try in every imfair way to secure the
coveted tobacco — strike at the real cul-
prit, and you will soon'settle the cigar-
ette smoking by minors question. So
faras we manufacturers are concerned we
do not want boys to smoke cigarettes, and
do not encourage, but discourage them.
Cigarettes, rightly used, are no more
harmful than tea, coffee, beer or a dozen
other things that humanity indulges in
to make life morecheerful and bearable. "

— The Legislature of thel Island of Jer-
sey, on April 9, passed the third reading
of the bill imposing a duty of!|8 cents
per pound on leaf tobacco, 16 cents on
manufactured tobacco, and 25 cents on
cigars.

READING, PA.

Cincinnati, O., April 13, 1903.
The market in seed leaf tobacco ended
firm Saturday. The demand and good
prices of last week were maintained.
The offerings at warehouses were chiefly
composed of common and low grades of
seed leaf. The Cincinnati Miami sold
191 cases, and the Farmers and Shippeis
five cases. The sales would have
amounted to over 300 cases had the r^fil-
roads not been so much crowded with
business, which held tobacco shipments
back. Taking the whole week' s output
in all the branches of the tobacco busi-
ness the showing was below the average.
Orders however were taken for immediate
shipment which will bring next week's
accounts up to where they belong. Mr.
Downard, of Downard & Koking, said
his firm had bought largely and had
orders for about all the leaf on hand
which would be shipped April 13 and
14, and had some good shipments com-
ing in at the same time.

F. D. Hendry, traveling salesman for
Daly & Frei. reports a very successful
trip through Indiana. Mr. Daly, the
senior partner, is still out on the road.

Mr. Benedict, of The American Cigar
Mold Company, returned Saturday last
from what he says was his most success-
ful trip so far this year.

L. Bamberger & Brother will have, as
this goes to press, completed a f.ictory
room in the old National Theatre Build-
ing for the manufacture of cigtrs, intro-
ducing suction tables for a trial. It is
rumored that limanuel Hamburger,
formerly with the Streng Marblestone
Co., is to act in the capacity of Superin-
tendent. Mr. Bamberger explained to
your correspondent that this factory was
simply a branch of the Third street fac-
tory and to be operated as an experiment
I It bids fair to be a success, in which
' event it will be continued on a large

! scale.

Henry Esberg, of Esberg, Gunst &

Co., New York, was here dunng the

week.

Henry Straus will have his new equip-
ment for retailing, in the Vine street store
May 4. Mr. Straus says he is doing the
best he can with the facilities at com-
mand and manages to get out his orders.

Leo Hamburger of Leo Hamburger &
Co., is attending to business and at the
same time recuperating his health in
Texas. He will do a large part of the
West before he returns home some time
next week. The firm is still manufac-
turing the line of five cent cigars the
brands of which formerly belonged to a
deceased brother of the Messrs. Ham-
burger. Charles Hamburger has charge
of the factory during his brother's
absence. Their trade is confined ex-
clusively to jobbers.

O to Fritz, of Fritz Bros., met your
correspondent with a beaming counte-
nance at the factory last week. Mr.
Fritz can now afford to look pleasant, as
his business troubles of the past few
months are at an end. The firm's busi-
ness is very large throughout the South,
and the high waters there have caused so
much suffering and damage that business
generally became demoralized and espec-
ially the cigar business. The levee was
cut to relieve the people in Arkansas and
Mississippi, allowing the swollen river to
disgorge into the Gulf. The naturally
beautiful country has assumed its former
aspect and business has resumed, starting
off with a rush to make up for lost time.
Both the Messrs. Fritz and the em-
ployes at the factory are working like
beavers.

Henry Meyer believes in promotion.
His bookkeeper having vacated the posi-
tion, Mr. Meyer is breaking in the assist-
ant to fill the place.

John Staun says: ' 'We are kept moving.
There is no special activity in leaf this
week but spring is here and good weather
will bring us our full quota of orders,"

There was no meeting of the Retail
Cigar Dealers' Association last week, Mr.
Morgan, one of the board members, being
confined to his home by sickness and
Samuel Straus, the President, having out-
side matters to attend to which caused a
postponement of a meeting until probably
Frid «y. April 17. Oscar Gassman, Sec-
retary, and the only board member on
deck, said there were no vital matters
actually necessitating a meeting but it
was good policy to have a regular weekly
meeting for general discussion. The
question of the proposed Smoker needs
to be definitely settled.

The new restaurant of The E. W.
White Company, on Main street, will
have a Smoking Room elegantly fitted up
on the second floor for after-dinner en-
joyment There is nothing of this kind
at present in the city and it will be likely
to take quite well.

The Geise Cigar Box Co. got into their
new quarters at 21 E. Canal street last
month and are under way in good shape.
This is the factory formerly operated by
Chas. Meyer in the same line. The
younger Mr. Geise attends the office
while his father looks after the factory.
By close attention to and a thorough
knowledge of cigar box making they have
built up in the last year a very lucrative
business.

ALLOWANCE FOR PAPER BANDS
ON CIGARS.
The U. S. Treasury Department is in-
formed that there is a lack of uniformity
between the practice prevailing at the
port of Philadelphia and that of the port
of New York, in returning the weight of
cigars for the purpose of assessment of
duty. It appears that at Philadelphia no
allowance is made for paper bands or
rings on imported cigars, while it is other-
wise at the port of New York. In view
of this fact, the Department has instructed
the Collector at Philadelphia to hereafter
make an allowance for such paper bands
or rings in returning the weight of cigars,
the rate and amount of the allowance to
be arrived at by weighing 100 samples of
<ach size or style of band, the samples to
be furnished by the importer.

In this connection. Assistant Secretary
Armstrong states for the information of
the Collector that it appears that the al-
lowances made by the local appraiser at
New York vary from 2^^ ounces to 10
ounces per 1,000. No allowance, how-
ever, will be made except where the
actual weight of the style and size of the
bands on imported cigar* has been ascer-
tained by weighing 100 samples as afore-
said.

LOWENGRUNDS WALNUT
STREET STORE.
On or about the first of May I. Lowen-
grund will open his branch retail cigar
store at Fourth and Walnut streets. The
new store will make the fifth to be oper-
ated by Mr. Lowengrund and it is staled
on reliable authority that the new smoke
«mporium at Fourth and Walnut will be
an up-to-date one in every respect Mr.
Lowengrund' s present cigar stores are
noticeable for neatness and cleanliness
as well as for the popular lines of cigars
carried. The new store, it is said, will
surpass the others in points of handsome
fittings, show cases, etc. . and will carry
a full line of high grade cigars and to-
baccos.

THE BOSS BOUNCED THE
FOREMAN.

An occurrence with more of a humor-
ous than a serious aspect recently came
to pass at the Emaus, Pa., cigar factory
of Jeitles & BlumenthaL An over offici-
ous foreman, recently appointed to that
position, began discharging hands with
evidently no more reason than to show his
brief authority. Result, there was a
strike and the hands walked out Of
course the affair reached the ears of the
firm. Mr. Blumenthal promptly investi-
gated the matter, "bounced" the fore-
man, appointed another, the hands went
back cheerfully to work and ever since
things have gone along swimmingly.

Work at the factories of Jeitles &

Blumenthal has been brisk. Mr. Jeitles.
who covers the West, is again touring
that territory and is meeting with his
usual well-deserved reward in securing
orders for the firm's meritorious cigars.

MEETING WITH SUCCESS,
Joseph C. Heymann, of Heymann &
Co., cigar manufacturers, is touring
Eastern Pennsylvania and the middle
West, for the purpose of introducing the
firm* s new brands of cigars, the Francis
Lee and Loma. Letters received from
Mr. Heymann indicate that he has met
with the best of success, and as a con-
sequence work at the South Fifth street
and Tampa factories is brisk. Arrange-
ments are now being perfected for the
manufacture of the Alan Dale cigar.which
is to be a domestic five cent brand.
Handsome labels will be placed on all
the boxes of cigars made at the Heymann
& Co. factories.

BUSY PACKING 1902 TOBACCOS.
L. P. Kimmig&Co., leaf dealers, have
a large force of packers busy at their
Lancaster warehouse, packing some of
the best of the 1902 Pennsylvania tobaccos
for their numerous customers. Mr.
Kimmig has been giving the work a great
deal of personal attention and in addition
has also paid careful attention to the de-
mands of the firm's patrons.

HE KNEW WHEN IT WAS EASTER.

The male population of Philadelphia
presumably observed Good Friday with
a proper observance as to abstaining from
meat, etc. , but they made up for the de-
ficiency by indulging in more cigars and
tobacco. This assertion is made on the
strength of what a number of cigar re-
tailers told a Tobacco World representa-
tive. "Perhaps it was because the day
was half-observed as a holiday.' ' said one
retailer, "but at any rate I did almost
double my usual business."

"And how was your trade on Easter
day?" inquired the World representative.

The retailer closed his left eye humor-
ously and said, "My boy, Easter, you
must know, fell on a Sunday and until
that beautiful 1794 Blue Law is repealed
we poor cigar people are supposed to
keep closed on Sunday. See?"

SUCCEEDS S. LOHREN & CO.
Herman M. Loeb, it is announced, has
succeeded to the cigar business of S.
Lohren & Co. The firm had factories at
Pennsburg, Pa., and at 2533 Ridge ave-
nue, Philadelphia. Mr. Loeb will con-
tinue the factories as heretofore. He was
connected with the old firm and spent a
considerable part of his time at Penns-
burg. It is stated that Mr. Lohren will
give his attention to selling cigars to the
trade.

WILL PROBABLY INCORPORATE.
It is quite probable that the grocery
firm of Mitchell, Fletcher & Co. will be
incorporated in the near future. Since
the death of the late George A. Fletcher,
December 14 last the business has been
conducted by his widow, Amelia A.
Fletcher. Mrs. Fletcher and a number
of the older employes, it is thought will
incorporate the business as noted. In
the License Court last Thursday a decree
was handed down substituting the name
of Amelia E. Fletcher for that of her
husband, in the wholesale liquor license
issued to George A. Fletcher and Samuel
S. Thompson, trading as Mitchell,
Fletcher & Co. In addition to the large
grocery and liquor business carried on,
the house has also handled cigars, and in
that line has transacted a very large
business, which, under the new con-
ditions, will be continued.

NO POLICY SHOP THERE.
One peculiarity of Philadelphia resi-
denu is that of speaking of a location
which may be several doors from a street
corner as being, for instance, "at Broad
and Race* or "at Tenth and Arch. "
This very often misleads strangers from
other cities where the practice is to use
the word "above" or "below" instead of
• 'at' ' as the last quoted word is used in
Philadelphia. A recent illustration of
tb€ harm that may be wrought by the
inaccuracy here referred to is found in
the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
which alleged that "under the guise of a
cigar store." a policy shop had been
discovered by the police "at Tenth and
Arch." There is only one cigar store at
the corner of Tenth and Arch streets, and
all who know M. I. Lifshetz. the pro-
prietor, will regret as does The Tobacco
World, that he should have been made the
victim of whit apparently was meant for
caution but which was, in fact unwar-
ranted recklessness.

U. C. S. GO'S LATEST ADDITION.
The latest addition to the list of the U.
C. S. Co' s stores in this city is on North
Eighth street between Race and Vine,
and this is pronounced the handsomest
of their stores here. It is by far the
largest and most uniquely fitted up, and
the goods more advantageously displayed
than at any other of the five stores now
operated by them in this city. Manager
Greenberg is of the opinion th it this store
will in the course of time become one of
their best Interior decorations are highly
artistic, and wall cases extend along the
three sides of the interior, while the entire
front is consumed by one massive bulk
window. The line of goods carried is
pretty much the same as the goods offered
at the others of their stores. A specialty

is being made this week of the Benefactor
at 5c. The store was opened a week ago
on Monday.

INSURANCE CASE TO BE TRIED IN
PHILADELPHIA.

The case of Certain Insurance Com-
panies vs. M. R. Hoffman, a leaf packer
of Marietta, Pa., which was tried some
time ago at Lancaster and resulted in a
verdict in favor of the insured, is to be
tried again rri the U. S. District Court of
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and
will come up in this city on Monday next,
April 20.

It is claimed by the companies that
new evidence is in hand, and upon this
was based the request for a new trial. A
large number of prominent members of
the trade at Lancaster and elsewhere
have been subpcenaed, and the trial will
doubtless be an interesting one.

THE ANTI-COUPON BILL.

Many retail dealers here are now be-
ginning to feel somewhat alarmed at the
prospect of the passage of the anti-
coupon bill which has already passed the
House of Representatives at Harrisburg.
This applies more particularly to those
dealers who rely largely on sales of cigar-
ettes and tobacco, with which coupons
or some form of gifts are given. Special
correspondence from Harrisburg how-
ever, indicates that Senator M. S. Quay
is now showing his hand on behalf of
the large tobacco companies and that he
is making every effort to prevent its final
passage.

PiPig* EXTRAORDINARY.

During this week's visits of the World
reporter he visited the establishment of
L. Podolnick, at 322 South street and
expressed surprise at the apparently
immense stock of pipes, etc. He was
inforiped that the stock in sight is but a
small part of the actual stock carried,
and that an entire room in another part
of the building was filled with a larger
and varied assortment of briers, meer-
schaums, etc. He was also advised that
he makes a specialty of being able to
offer the local trade job lots of briers,
etc. , at more than ordinarily low prices.

FERD LOEB'S NEW OFFICE.
Ferd Loeb, now representing Roth-
schild & Bro. in Havana and Sumatra
tobaccos and Cullman Bros, in seed leaf,
has opened his new office at 50 North
Third street, this city, where he will soon
be prepared to show a full line of the
goods cairied by these two old established
houses. In the meantime, however, Mr.
Loeb has not been idle, but has been
getting into pretty close touch with the
trade, and expressed much confidence in
continued good business.

We have been requested by M. Kem-
per & Sons. Baltimore, Md., to announce
that Mr. E, Richheimer. a former sales-
man with that firm, has not been con-
nected with them since April 7. 1903.

AIDED LOCAL ACTIVITY.
Several of our visiting leaf salesmen
aided the local activity by their presence
this week. G. F. Sperry, of Sperry Bros.,
New Milford, Conn., met with highly
encouraging success with his offerings of
1902 force sweat Connecticut, notwith-
standing that it was his first visit here for
years. Barney Regensberg also aided
this "bull" movement by his 1902 Con
necticut seconds and shad^grown Su-
matra, while Geo. F. Schnath capably
held up his end by logical and forceful
arguments concerning his offerings of
Florida Sumatra.

THE VISITING LEAF MEN.

During the past week the visiting leaf
salesmen included George Schnath, with
Schroeder & Arguimbau. Albert Kahn,
with C. H. Spitiner & Sons, Avalino
Pazos, jof A. Pazos & Co. , Barney Regens-
berg, with Hinsdale Smith & Co., all of
New York; Charles Kaffenberg, with
I. Kaffenberg & Son, Boston; Louis
Kramer, of Kramer, & Goldberg, Lan-
caster; and G. F. Sperry, of New Mil-
ford, Conn.

MOSTLY PERSONAL.

Milton Heiold, of Leopold Loeb & Co.,
will sail for Holland April 22, on the
Statendam.

Julius Vetterlein has lately returned
rom a short tour of inspection of the
Ohio tobacco markets.

Benj. Labe, of Benj. Labe & Sons, is
to sail for Amsterdam soon to attend
some of the Sumatra inscriptions.

Mr. Stevenson, the Philadelphia mem-

ber of the firm of Henriquez, Stevenson
& Co. , of Key West, left Monday for
Key West, to be absent about two weeks.
Theo. Werner, President of T. J. Dunn
& Co., is now nearing the Pacific coast,
and will be in Denver this week. He is
making a complete circuit among the
firm's many customer?, and his success
has already surpassed their most sanguine
expectations.

Ike Lavenson, of the Mayer & Lwer-
son Co., manufacturers of metal signs
and other advertising goods in New
York, has been circulating in the trade
here recently.

PHILADELPHIA LEAF MARKET

The domestic leaf market for the past
week was not devoid of numerous tr.ms-
actions, although not so voluminous in
the aggregate. More frequent inquiries
are coming in for the nev tobaccos,
which is also indicated by the several
sales here of force-sweated Connecticut;
several fair-sized transactions in Zimmer
Spanish were also repotted.

The samples of new Sumatra which
have been shown here were eagerly
looked over. No particularly important
sales have been made as yet.

Havana continues in fairly good de-
mand, and at well maintained prices.

— The government has secured lands
and a barn at Marion, Ala,, for the pur-
pose of testing the tobacco lands located
by the surveyors some two months ago.
Experts say these tobacco lands ought to
produce a filler equal to that of Cuba.

YORK'S TOBACCO ROBBEILY.

Arrest of a Hotel Proprietor Accused of

the Crime -Manufactuiing Interests

- — Seeking a Pardon.

York, Pa., April 13, 1903.
The packers who have bulk sweated
any leaf report various kinds of damage.
As a rule high prices were paid for the
majority of York county tobacco, j |This
■with the damage reported to be in the
last crop, will make a high costing lot of
tobacco when marketable.

Quite a few complaints are heard from
manufacturers lately to the effect that
their trade is falling off to a deplorable
«xtent. The same is heard from the
jobbers who claim their busines . does
not come up to expectations.

As a result of the raise in the scale of
union cigarmakers in this city, one local
factory, lately opened, is expected to be
closed. At no time were union factories
numerous here and the recent raise in
the wage scale is certainly not calculated
to increase their number.

An application for pardon of Arthur
A Leber, of Red Lion, convicted on the
26th of August last, in the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Adams <iounty, of the
■charge of displaying the labels of the
Cigarmakers' International Union, and
now serving sentence in jail, will be made
before the pardon board on Wednesday,
April 15, at Harrisburg.

Edward Neiman, a manufacturer of
Thomasville, "who, but a few months ago,
was canvassing for orders, is very busy
with a large force of hands, and reports
that he could use a number more if they
could be obtained.

Fred Eater has opened a factory on
Franklin street.

The petty robberies which have been
going on for some time in the vicinity of
Yoe and Red Lion, have resulted not
only in the arrest of four persons, but it
has gone so far as to implicate a hitherto
well-known member of the trade, and
some interesting facts have been brought
out by the arrest of Harry Meads, of Red
Lion, who it is alleged sold 155 pounds
of Sumatra tobacco to a manufactuter
there, and that one Tony Koons avers
that he received I25 for delivering
the tobacco to the purchaser. The pur-
chaser is said to hold a receipt for J407
— and which it was testified represented
the amount paid for the goods. It seems
that the tobacco after being stolen was
taken to the Red Lion Hotel and buried
in the stable yard at night. Afterwards
it was removed, and packed in a box in
which form it was sold.

A new frame building is being erected
on West Market street, which when com
pleted will be occupied by Frank Beck
as a cigar factory, who will operate it as
a union factory.

Jacob Winter has removed his leaf
business to the two buildings immediately
adjoining his former premises, giving
him quite a spacious warehouse, having
elevator and other modern facilities.

There were more than a usually large
number of visitors in town during the
past week, including Max M. Kolliner,
of the Florida Havana and Sumatra Co.,
of Quincy, Fla., T. D. Hene, with
Wedeles Bros., of Chicago, and J. Kos-
minsky with Taussig & Co., of Chicago,

all of whom were offering a line of Florida
Sumatra tobaccos. Also, Geo. Wood,
of Armstrong & Wood, Elmira, N. Y.,
Mr. Geiske, of Geiske & Neiman, Balti-
more, Md. . L F. Miller, with Dohan &
Taitt, Philadelphia, E. H. Miller, with
Young & Newman, Philadelphia, Oscar
G. Boehm, of Bremer Bros. & Boehm,
Philadelphia, Ed. Lichtenberg, of I.
Lichtenberg's Sons, New York, Theo.
Bixby, with J. Cohn & Co.. New Yoik,
and A. L Betts, with the Brunhoff Mfg.
Co., Cincinnati.

STRIKE IMPENDING AT LONDON. ONT.

A big cigarmakers' strike is said to be
impending at London, Ont. The Inter-
national Union has raised the scale at
London $1 and $1.50 a thousand on
nickel cigats and $2 and $3 on 10-cent
cigars. The strike will probably be de-
cla^ed about May 10. The trouble ap-
pears to have been precipitated by the
fact that the big Tuckett firm recently
opened a branch factory in London.

There is a possibility that if the im-
pending strike reaches an acute stage the
larger factories will remove from London
to Montreal where the Unions got^-a
famous licking not so many years ago.
*^^<%^»%%
STOLEN— A MILLION TAGS.

A million tobacco tags, bearing a pre-
mium-exchange value of |8oo,were stolen
from the premises of the Continental To-
bacco Co., in St. Louis, last week. One
of the three men arrested was an em-
ploye of the company, and left a window
unfastened so that his accomplices might
enter. Before the arrests a large number
of the tags had been sold to dealers.

EXPERIMENTS IN NEW MEXICO.

The Commercial Club of Albuquerque,
N. M., has endorsed the project of local
capitalists who intend to test the value,
for tobacco growing, of large tracts of
land lying idle in the vicinity of that city.
A company with a capital stock of $^25,-
000 will plant the hardiest grades of to-
bacco in four ten- acre lots, in four dif-
ferent sections, in order that the relative
value of the soil in different parts of the
Rio Grande valley may be ascertained.
The seed will be in the ground l)efore the
end of this month. Expeits in growing
give great encouragement to the hopes
that New Mexico will soon be added to
the great tobacco growing states.

ciation' s new headquarters, 705 and 707

burg, Germany, asking for the names of

On the subject of brands to be handled
by the Association, Mr. Donnigan said
that the Association would have a pro
prietory interests in the brands. In case
the manufacturer sells out to the trust the
brands are to revert to the Association.

I say, old man, come off that shelf.

Once more I'll cling to you.
And do sweet justice to myself

And you. O friend most true!
Forgive me, dear old boy, but I

Know now my act was mad;
For her caress I passed you by,

And played the beastly cad.

Come down, old chap, and let me feel

Forgiveness full and sweet.
For I, sad penitent, do kneel

As low as to thy feet
And never more shall strife arise

'Tween you and 1, old chappie!
We'll soon forget her pretty eyes

And then we'll both be happy.

GUS GREENHUT DBAD,

Gus D. Greenhut, of the well-known
New York city leaf firm of Newgass &
Greenhut, died of heart disease in a
sanitarium at Milwaukee on the evening
of April 8, in the 49th year of his age.
His wife and young son, who had been
summoned from New York by telegraph,
were with him when the end came.

Gus Greenhut was one of the best known
and best liked leaf men in the United
States. He had spent the greater part
of his life as a member of the leaf trade
of New York city. For fifteen years he
was in the service of the old firm of Gans
Bros. & Rosenthal. He left that firm
about four years ago, to go into business
on his own account Later he formed a
copartnership with Julius Lichtenstem,
under the firm name of Lichtenstein & I
Greenhut. Upon the dissolution of that 1
firm, about two years ago, he and Wil- j
ham Newgass formed a copartnership j
under the style of Newgass & (irecn- 1
hut. Mr. Greenhut married Miss Nellie
Neumann, ot New York city, about ten
years ago. His widow and young son
survive him.

Gus Greenhut was in every relation of
life an admirable citizen, and by none
will his memory be more affectionately
cherished than by those with whom he
was most closely connected in business.
To his old associates the news of his
sudden death brought a shock of grief,
and the entire trade of the country will
long mourn one who, to use the language
of one of his oldest friends, was never
known to tell a lie.

Break In the Havana Cigar Trust.

As a result of differences which have
arisen between the Havana Commercial
Company and the Cigar Manufacturers'
Association, the company has withdrawn
its thirteen factories from membership
in the association and will discontinue
the use of association labels. These
labels purport to guarantee the legitimacy
of cigars sold ks having been made in
Havana.

GENEILAL NOTES.

Anderson D. Jennings, a tobacco dealer
of Dover, Ky., recently died at the ripe
age of 85 years.

Cadet Berry has been dismissed from
West Point, having been found guilty of
making misstatements concerning hav-
ing cigarettes in his possession.

James Wood, an organizer of the Ci-
gai makers' Union, was shot in the arm,
on March 31, at Palatka, Fla., by al-
leged enemies of unionism.

During the month of March, 1903, the
largest business ever done in the Bing-
hamton, N. Y. district by cigar manu-
facturers was shown by the returns to
the U. S. Internal Revenue office.

Annie L. Agat, of Chicago, has applied
for a divorce from her husband, Rabbi
Isaiah Agat, on the ground that he
smokes from 60 to 100 cigarettes per day
and other minor causes.

Eastern capitalists have furnished
money to start a Detroit cigar factory, of
which John A. Gerow, formerly with
Daniel Scotten & Co., will be the manager.
