thsiM.sUioii  of  this  nnli^;tnoU'«  plant  was  conteni|M»rary  with  the

well  as  cultivated  in  every  |M.rtion  of  the  earth,  must  meet  some 
essential  want  of  the  human  lM»dy  and  mind.

pally  employed  in  the  regions  vi.sited  by  his  countrymen.  The 
r<»rtuguese  had  already  begun  the  cultivation  «.f  the  plant  in 
.southern  c«nmtries  an<l  from  thence  it  was  brought  in  i5«io  to 
I'rance  by  N'icol,  who  studied  its  |)ro|Krties  in  a  scientitic  way. 
I  roni  Nicoi  is  tlerived  the  wonl  nicotine,  the  essential  alkaloid 
which  characteri/es  t«»bacco  wherever  grown. 

Some  of  the  early  writers'  best  works  were  on  this  subject, 
r.en  Johns«»n  wrote  verses,  as  did  all  of  the  «ither  |H»ets  t)f  the 
time  except  Shakespeare.  Clubs  were  formed  solely  to  enjoy 
it.  and  a  man's  standing  in  .society  was  establishid  by  his 
tobacco.  When  King  James'  famous  "Counterblast  Against 
Tobacco"  was  issuetl,  "drinking*  t«»bacco,  as  smoking  was  then 
often  called,  was  almost  universal,  not  only  in  I'nglaii«l.  but  in 
I'.urope.  In  fact,  ime  of  the  most  faiiujus  epigrams  of  the  lime 
ran  as  folKtws : 

Sir  Walter  Kaleigh!  name  of  worth, 

I  low  sweet  for  thee  to  know. 
King  James,  who  never  smoked  on  earth, 
Is  smoking  down  below. 

How  THE  Cl'LTlVATION  HaS  SfKI  AI>. 

W  ilh  the  increasing  use  of  tobacco  in  all  its  preparations, 
the  culture  of  the  plant  has  been  established  over  wider  and 
wider  areas,  until  now  there  is  |)ractically  no  country — civilizetl 
or  uncivilized — where  it  is  not  to  .some  extent  grown.  Indige- 
notis  as  it  is  to  a  tn»pical  climate,  the  tobacco  plant  has.  by  the 
ingemiity  of  man,  been  compelled  to  adapt  itself  to  all  ranges 
of  temperature,  so  that  it  is  ftnmd  at  such  wi<le  extremes  as  tlie 
region  of  the  e<|uator  and  the  snow-ct>vere<l  valleys  of  Cana<la 
and  Sweclen.  In  this  respect  it  resembles  the  vine,  which  will 
thrive  so  long  as  it  has  sunshine  for  a  few  months  in  summer 
and  sufficient  moisture  to  nourish  the  rapidly  growing  leaves. 

To!>acco  belongs  to  the  night^ha«le — Si'Uiiuii'tUc — family, 
which  embraces  many  of  the  best-known  •loniesticated  plants 
and  vegetables,  such  as  the  Irish  i>otat«».  the  tomato,  eggplant, 
red  pepper,  jinisoii  weed  and  henbane.  The  getuis  Xicotiaua 
has  alnuit  fifty  species,  but  the  great  varieties,  the  Xiiotiana 
tiiluiiunt  and  the  Xicotiatta  rustica,  supply  nearly  all  the  tobacco 
of  C(»mmerce.  There  is  a  variety  called  /•rr.viVd.  but  the  Persian 
tobacc<»  as  we  know  it  is  but  a  m<»ditication  of  the  rustica.  The 
species  Siiotiaua  tnhacutti  is  more  generally  used  than  the  others 
in  everv  part  of  the  world.  It  grows  fn»m  two  to  eight  feet  in 
lieight.  ami  has  ovate,  oblong  or  lanceolate  leaves,  alternately 


attached  t«»  the  stalk  spirally  ;  these  leaves  mea«iure  from  twelve 
to  forty-two  inches  m  length  and  etijht  t"  twentx  fotir  inches 
in  width

Changes  in  United  Cigar  Manufacturers  Co. 

Im|M»rtaiit  changes  were  effected  m  the  personnel  *^i  the 
managcnieiit  and  ownership  of  the  I'nited  (igar  Manufac- 
turers Co.  just  previous  to  .\ew  Year  The  interests  hitherto 
held  hy  Chas.  II.  Ilirschhorn.  Mdward  .\.  Kerbs  and  Mark  II. 
Mack  have  l>een  sol<l  to  Messrs.  Jac.  Wertheim.  I>ed  Hirsch- 
horn  and  Maurice  Wertheim.  I'dwanl  A.  Kerbs  and  Mark  II. 
.Mack  have  withdrawn  from  all  connecti<»n  with  the  Cnited 
(  o.,  while  Charles  II.  Ilirschhorn.  while  retiring  from  the 
Iw.ard  of  ilirectors  and  from  his  office  of  vice-president,  will 
c<»ntinue  for  a  short  time  at  least  with  the  conipany  to  give  his 
a«lvice  and  assistance  in  the  exploitation  of  certain  j)lans  which 
tluy  have  in  view. 

Presi«lent  Wertheim,  in  discussing  the  change  in  the  gen- 
eral management,  stated  that  I'.dward  .\.  Kerbs  had  really  not 
Utn  a  factor  in  the  business  for  some  time  and  that  the  prin- 
cipal feature  of  the  change  was  that  I'red  Ilirschhorn  and  his 
own  son  Maurice  Wertheim  and  himself  had  liought  a  big 
blmk  of  st«Kk  fn.m  the  three  fomur  partners  and  placed  it  in 
a  v«"ting  trust  so  that  none  of  it  could  be  dis|>«»scd  of  for  a 
peri<M|  of  five  years,  the  stipulati.'U  •»f  five  years  re«|uire«l  by 
law.  Such  st«>ck  as  the  Wertheim  interests  could  m.t  buy.  and 
it     was    a   large  am.'unt,   was   taken  over  by   a     syndicate    t.f 

bankers. 

Inder  the  new  arrangement,  the  Inard  of  officers  will  re- 
main practically  the  same,  with  the  exception  of  I're<l  llirsch- 
horn's  electitm  to  the  vice  presidency  and  .Messrs.  Jack  SchitTer. 
Maurice  Wertheim  and  <  ieorge  L.  Storm  as  new  directors. 

As  is  well  known  in  the  tr.ide.  the  I'liitetl  Cigar  .Manu-

score  of  factories  in  the  I  nited  States  an«l  pmduces  some- 
thing like  4()o.ocx).o<x)  cigars  annually.  Their  "Owl"  5-cent 
cigar  is  reputed  t<»  Ik-  the  wi<lest  distributetl  5-cent  cigar  in  the 
world  while  their  *K..Inrt  Hums"  lo-cenl  cigar  is  a  familiar 
brand  in  nearly  every  leading  stand  in  the  Cnited  States. 

Drawback  on  '* Ambassador"  Cigarettes. 

Till-:  Ireasury  Department  has  allowed  a  drawback  on  the 
exp«>rtation'  of  "Amkissador"  cigarettes  manufacturnl 
for  Phillip  Morris  &  Co.,  Ltd..  New  York.  In  arriving 
at  a  basis  of  adjustment  it  was  decided  that  the  quantity  of 
imiK.rted  tobacco  which  may  be  taken  as  a  basis  must  not 
exceed  sixty-eight  ounces  for  each  th.-usand  cigarettes  ex- 
ported. These  cigarettes  obtain  a  large  i)ercentage  of  Turkish

Where  Cigar  Box  Lumber  Comes  From. 

Knowii.le,  Dec.  31st. 
Nour  corres|h.nde!it  has  dcrivc<l  j^rcat  pleasure  in  the 
past,  visiting  manufacturing.,'  plants  and  had  in  mind  the  tht.u^hl 
that  he  had  se«n  the  U-st  factories  in  the  I'nitcd  States,  but 
the  l^i.uthcrn  mill  of  the  Philadelphia  \  encer  &  Lumber  Co.. 
at  Knoxvillc.  renn..  is  indeed  a  j^i^antic  ukmIcI  and  by  far  the 
most  complete  '.f  its  kind  that  1  have  ever  hail  the  pleasure  of 
inspect  in  jj. 

riic  l(K*ation  of  this  mill  is  in  the  beautiful  vallev  <>f  Knox- 
villc. amid  the  most  wonderful  growth  of  fine  soft  vell"w  |x'p- 
lar  timber  to  Ik*  found  in  the  Cnitcd  .^states. 

.\s  I  was  pilotcfl  from  one  buildinj^  t*.  another  throujjh 
the  many  <lcpartments.  my  ama/cment  was  c«>ntinual  at  the 
improved  machinery  ami  system  of  dryini;  machines  and 
patented  dry  kiln-  which  arc  simply  perfect. 

The  wonderful  system  that  is  in  force  throu).;liout  this 
j^rcat  pl.int  would  do  justice  to  the  greatest  tin.incial  institu- 
tions in  our  nietrojM.litan  cities,  yet  we  find  this  wonderful 
system  in  the  midst  of  a  wilderness  of  timber  which  l«»oks  to 
be  an  endless  source  of  supply. 

1  wa-<  informed  that  this  company  not  only  own-  the  vast 
reijion  in  sij^ht,  but  c«»ntrols  stumpaj^e  for  miles  of  this  jjreat 
yellow  jV'plar  timber  producing  valley. 

In  their  vencerinj;  buildins.;,  where  cedar  veneers  are  made, 
amoiit;  m.iny  sliciu)^'  machines,  one  of  the  l.ir^^cst  slicin«j  ma- 
chines in  the  Cnitcd  .*^tates,  is  in  constant  n-e.  This  machine 
has  a  13-frH.t  knife.  The  workinj^s  of  this  automatic  machine 
arc  marvelous.

tion and  veneer  cedar  ami  they  arc  manufacturini,'  the  hij^hesl

This  Company  has  passed  throuj^^h  the  mo-t  successful  year 
in  its  hist<»ry.  While  their  competitors  have  fotunl  it  neces- 
sary to  raise  the  j)ricc  of  imitation  and  cedar  veneers,  or  %<> 
use  inferior  lumber,  the  prices  of  the  product  of  this  mill  re- 
in.iin  the  same  for  the  sui>crior  ^radc.

What  Is  Meerschaum?

able sizes  and  in  irrej,'ular  shapes  distribute. I  throiijjh  the  allu- 
vial de|K>sits.     The  plains  of   Kshi-Shehr  in   Asia    Min.>r  are 
famous  for  meerschaum.    It  is  f<.und  also  in  ( Jreece  and  in  some 
of  the  (irecian  islands.      In   .Morocco  it  is   f.uind  so  soft  that 
when   fresh  it  is  used  as  a  substitute   f..r  s..aj).     At  the   \  al-

buildinj;  .st.»ne  and  it  has  been  found  in  S..uth  Can.lina.    Tliere 
is  no  reason  why  it  is  not  adapte.l  f«)r  various  art  ..bjects  an.l 
to  vessels  of  utility.     I-'or  a  lonj;  time  the  i.ipemakers  were  the

King    Kdward,    as    we    all 
know,  ha>  been  an  inveter- 
ate   smoker    ft)r   years,    al- 
llu.ugh  recently,  on  the  a<l- 
vice    of    his    physician,    he 
has  tried  it)  curb  his  habit. 
1  he     King    does    nt»t     care

On  the  other  hand.  U.tli 
the    Prince    of    Wales    and 
Prince      Arthur    of     Con- 
naught  are  heavy  cigarette 
sm..kcrs.       The    King,    him- 
self,    prefers     cigars     an<l 
smokes    moderately   of    the 
^H'st    that   can   lie  obtained. 
F'-clwanls       cigars       come 
from  a  select  plantation  in  Cuba.     They  bear  n..  maker*>  liran.l 
and  are  packed  in  perfectly  plain  !j<.xes.  uIrh  they  are  stored 
in  his  cellar  for  maturing.     This  cellar  is  rcpute<l  to  have  one 
of  the  most  complete  eijuipmenls  for  the  preservation  nt  tobacco 
existent.     The   King's  cigars  are  not   very   large  an.l   it   they 
ould  be  .sold  in  the  o\H:n  market,  it  i>  estimate.  1  that  they  would 
liring  aln)Ut  75  cents  each. 

A  few  years  ago,  His  Majesty  was  foinl  of  a  briar  pipe 
and  was  often  seen  smoking  one  as  he  strolled  an.un.l  the  lanes 
at  San.lringham.  To-day,  however,  he  ha-  abandoned  this 
form  of  sm..king  and  keeps  alino>t  exclusively  t.>  cigars. 


Strike  in  New  York  Factory. 

A  strike  occurred  at  the  cigar  factory  of  };.  heifer  &  Co., 
Seventieth  street  and  Second  avemie.  recently.  The  factory  has 
l>een  operated  on  the  "union"  system,  and  when  the  manager 
of  the  factory  diMnisscd  several  cigarmakers.  whom  it  was 
alleged  were  short  on  their  stock  ace. uniting,  a  sympathetic 
strike  ensued. 


Lower  Taxes  iffntated. 

It  is  learned  that  some  of  the  Wheeling.  W  .  \'a.,  st..gio 
factories  are  aggitating  the  i)ossibility  of  a  lower  tax  on  .stogies. 
The  matter  has  been  taken  up  by  them  with  their  Congressman, 
and  they  are  now  anxiously  awaiting  some  devel.»|)ments. 

Oh,  What  a  Time  They  Had! 

The    .Agricultural    Department    refK.rt  that    Kurope    t<M)k

Eskimo's  Pipe  Made  of  Walrus  Tusks. 

I  he  pipes  Used  by  the  TNkiiuos  are  •|uite  ilitlerent  from 
those  of  any  other  N'<irth  .\merican  race,  and  in  the  sha|K*  of 
the  l)owl  more  resemble  the  ojiium  pijH's  useil  b\  the  Chinese 
than  anything  else.  The  old  pipes  wen-  very  small  in  the 
amount  of  tobacco  that  they  wi»iild  hold,  for  in  former  days 
tobacco  was  extremely  scarce,  and  in  its  use  was  most  care- 
fully husUmded. 

There  was  therefi«re  a  wide  flaring  margin  to  the  pi|H*  to 
catch  any  grains  of  titkicco  that  might  be  spilled  in  filling  it, 
then  there  was  a  hollow  which  wi»uld  hold  a  pinch  of  tobacco 
half  as  large  as  an  onlinary  i>ea  and  a  rather  wi<le  hole  passing 
down  through  the  base  of  the  IjowI  which  fitted  into  the  |>i|H' 
stem.  The  Imwl  of  the  pipe  was  r>f  ivory,  stone,  brass  or 
c<»p|)er. 

The  pipe  stem  was  curved  and  had  a  mouthpiece.  It  is 
said  that  the  sniall  hole  running  dinvn  through  the  base  of  the 
Ih»wI  and  into  the  pipe  stem  was  usually  |>higged  with  caril>ou 
hair  to  save  any  grains  of  tobacco  that  might  otherwise  have 
passed  tlown  through  this  af>erturc  and  s.  ►  he  lost.  The  sniok- 
ing  of  such  a  pipe  wouM  not  last  long,  and  we  may  presume 
that  a  very  few  draws  would  exhaust  it  The  snioke  was,  of 
course,  taken  into  the  lungs. 

'The  I'^kimos  are  known  to  be  extremely  skillful  in  the 
representation  of  seenes  and  objects,  while  the  Indians  of 
Oueen  Charlotte's  Sound  and  gctierally  all  the  natives  of  the 
northeast  coast  of  America  are  famous  for  their  carving  in 
w<hmI  and  in  a  black  slate.  Handsomely  carved  I'.skimo  pij>es  of 
walrus  ivory  fr«»m  intrthwesiern  .\laska  have  •»n  each  side 
of  the  pipe,  that  is  to  say.  on  four  more  or  les>  flat  surfaces, 
scenes  from  the  daily  life  of  the  F.skim«».  ^>f  these  the  two 
sides  on  the  right  hand  of  the  pipe,  as  it  is  hehl  in  |x»sition  f«»r 
smoking.  .T|>|K'ar  tr>  represent  the  [>eriof|  of  cold  weather,  late 
autumn,  winter  and  early  spring,  while  those  on  the  left  hand

Year's  Business  Closes  Strong  in  Detroit. 

DiTkoiT.  Dec.  28. 
I  rR<  >IT  ci^'ar  manufacturers  are  <juite  agreed  that  had 
the  year  started  witli  as  jjcmkI  a  volume  of  business 
as  was  transacted  at  the  close,  1909  would  have  been 
a  banner  period  for  tra«Ic.  In  the  early  part  of  the 
year  ord<  r^.  whde  rather  plentiful,  were  not  heavy  and  plants 
in  many  jiarts  of  the  city  were  putting  in  only  half  time.  Fol- 
lowing the  inauj^'uratioii.  business  Ingan  to  improve  and  has 
continued  --o  since. 

Trices  have  remained  firm  iluring  the  dosing  months  and 
little  anxiety  is  exf>resse<l  over  prospects.  (  )rders  received 
for  futur«-  delivery  are  heavy  and  j)lants  are  all  running  full. 
Ilu-  state  laln.r  law  wliich  pn.hibits  female  labor  fn»m  working 
more  than  5.4  hours  a  Wi-ek  is  all  that  prevents  many  mamifac-

help  is  employed  principally,  extra  hours  are  being  put  in. 

1  he  leaf  tobacco  dealers  also  rejKirt  a  go<Ml  volume  of  bus- 
iness. The  dtinand  has  held  up  stea<lily  since  the  mi<ldlc  of 
the  year  and  the  probabiliti<s  are  that  it  will  continue  so  through 
the  remai!nfj)4  winter  months.  Some  plants  rei)ort  onlcrs  al- 
rea<ly  on  hainl  for  delivery  in  the  spring. 

\\  liolesalers  of  tohacco  and  cij^'ars  reixtrt  an  increased  bus-

on  the  <lifTerent  brands  which  are  [xipular  in  the  l<Kal  market, 
and  anticipatinj4  the  trade,  dealers  laid  in  stocks.  Collections 
are  easy  and  little  anxiety  is  evince«l  over  the  future. 

Ivetailers  report  a  pM»d  bu'-iness.  The  holi«lav  trade  de- 
mand <xcee<ied  that  of  ja-t  year  and  the  year's  business  figures 
were  far  in  advance  of  the  H>t)S  total.  An  inventory  in  several 
of  the  stores  shows  j^ood  stocks  on  hand  a!i<l  a  heavy  business —

The  Standard  Cigar  Co..  (►f  Juneau.  Wis.,  has  filed  an 
amendment  to  its  charter  increasing  its  capital  stock  froni 
$5000  to  $15,000. 


Ciiosi.vr;  THK  Ljhation. 

It  i«>  the  judgment  of  more  than  one  successful  retail  dealer 
that  the  reipiisites  of  a  successful  retail  cigar  business  begin 
with  a  proper  choice  of  a  ^(xhI  l»K'ation.  It  wouM  be  profitable, 
therefore,  ti>  study  carefully  the  li»cations  .selected  by  other 
•successful  dealers.  The  l«»cation  should  be  in  the  mi»lst  of  a 
{Mipular  business  centre,  where  the  better  class  of  business  me») 
|>ass  to  and  from  tlieir  e^tablishment'^  during  the  day  and  earl) 
evening.  In  fact,  the  store  should  be  within  easy  access  to  busi- 
ness men  of  all  kimls. 

(  )ften  a  cigar  store  l«>cated  near  a  |>o|>ular  hotel.  iKist-officc, 
railr(»ad  ticket  offices,  etc.,  or  in  a  place  where  business  nien  con- 
gregate. The  store  nee«l  not  necessarily  be  large,  for  a  gre.it 
amount  of  business  can  be  <lone  by  an  active  retail  cigar  »lealer 
without  retjuiring  a  great  deal  of  nmm.  Substantial,  sensil)Ie 
and  attractive  fixtures  only  are  necessary  to  attract  the  Invst 
trade,  but  alnive  all  cleanliness  of  both  st«»re  and  person,  as  well 
as  st<K'k  i^  absolutely  indispeusihle. 

The  st'n'k  should  be  of  the  fir-^t-class  full  value  kind  to- 
gether. S4,ld  with  courtn»us  attention  and  alacrity. 

Joh  lots  and  second  han«l  g«M»ds  will  never  bring  the  re- 
tailer's business  to  the  profit  paying  |x»int.  Retail  cigar  dealers 
c<innot  get  something  for  nothing  any  easier  than  other  pe*)ple 
can.  and  hence  great  care  should  be  exercisetl  in  the  purchase 
of  g«M.ds.  (Juality  should  be  the  «»bject  aljove  everything  eKe. 
even  reganlless  of  a  few  cents  or  a  dollar  or  tw(»  in  the  price 
of  a  thousand  cigars, 

Fvervone  who  looks  for  inside  prices  will  get  them.  an<l 
Usually  (juality  is  secured  that  corres|M»nds  with  the  [)rices. 
.Ninetv  |)er  cent,  of  reduced  price  purchases  are  unprofitable, 
because  something  usually  is  wrong  with  the  goods. 

AnvKRTi.siNr.  AND  Window  Displ.w.s. 

Advertising  an«l  window  displays  camiot  <lo  it  all.  So 
many  retail  <lealers  after  they  succeed  in  securing  g<M)d  wiiulow 
displays  and  clever  a<lvertising.  stop  there.  They  sit  around 
and  wait  for  results — so  <|o  their  clerks.  We  believe  that  more 
than  this  is  necessary  to  win  success  to-day.  ICveryone  tries  to 
have  g(M»d  windows;  everyone  a<lvertises  in  some  form  or 
another.    Therefore  the  wise  dealer  will  try  to  do  more. 

We  are  now  going  into  a  periiwl  of  tem(»orary  depression. 
The  effect  of  this  will  Ik*  felt  ufM>n  all  business  and  especially 
at  the  net  result  end  of  ever>'  store.  Many  stores  will  be  run 
without  a  profit  unless  certain  re-a«ljustments  are  made.  It 
seems  to  us  that  there  are  great  opi>ortunities  f«>r  "the  idea 
atmosphere"  in  a  store  to  be  improved.  Also  that  the  in<livi<luals 
in  the  store  could  <lo  things  to  bring  more  business  into  it.  and 
not  depeiifl  alone  on  the  advertising  and  on  the  win«low  displays 
of  the  store  to  do  it  all. 

To  reduce  the  expenses  of  operating  a  store  is  difficult,  but 
to  increase  the  efficiency  of  each  individual  ought  n<.t  to  be  s(. 
difficult.  Fvery  live  retail  cigar  dealer  shouhl  develop  his 
executive  ability.  There  is  still  a  great  amount  of  "latent 
talent"  in  each  one  of  us.  and  it  ought  to  he  <levelope<l. 

Frefjuently  the  work  of  two  men  can  be  merged,  so  that 
one  pos.sesssing  salesmanship  ability  can  devote  his  energies  to 
getting  new  business,  through  new  wf)rk.  new  ideas  and  the 
other  1< Hiking  after  store  details.  New  situations  confront  re- 
tailers and  changes  should  be  made  «|uickly  to  meet  them. 


Two  MlNlTK  Cll  Ms  WITH    RlTAlI,  I  li.VklSIS. 

Success  is  not  gained  by  the  man  who  misrepresents  his 
go<Mls, 

Cigar  tlealers  should  be  very  careful  not  only  U^  g«»i".  but 
to  hold  the  c«»iitidence  of  his  customers,  for  |>eople  will  give 
the  bulk  of  their  trade  to  the  man  in  wlutm  they  have  the  most 
confidence, 

.\  reputation  of  having;  never  misrepresente«l  your  g»>«M|s, 
you  will  fiiul  that  e\eii  while  y«)ur  customers  nuy  run  for 
bargains  to  some  other  place,  they  will  aj^ain  come  Uick  to  you 
u|MHi  the  first  decepli«»n  that  is  practice«l  u|>»in  them  by  un- 
scrupultuis  ilealers.  .\nd  on  the  other  hand  y«'U  will  also  fiu'l 
that  a  customer  whi»  fiiuls  that  you  have  misrepresente«l  some 
thing  will  feel  like  buying  «»nly  of  y«»u  in  cases  where  Ue  i^ 
willin).,'  to  trust  his  own  judj^ment. 

P«)st  yourself  thoroughly  on  what  the  manufacturer  claims 
for  the  giHwls  viui  sell,  and  then  confine  your  own  claims  to  those 
made  by  the  manufacturer  and  which  he  will,  no  tloubt,  agree 
to  back  up. 

b'very  article  of  merit  has  plenty  of  j^.mmI  talking  |>«iints, 
and  it  is  up  to  you  to  find  them  <»ut  and  then  no  misrepresenta- 
tion will  be  necessary  to  effect  sales. 

If  you  will  keep  your  statements  well  within  the  facts,  vou 
will  find  that  purchasers  do  iF»t  expect  the  imiMissible 

A  Tk.st  of  Polite nkss. 

The  Cnited  Ci^jar  Stores  C<i..  as  is  well  known,  lavs  ^reat 
stress  on  |H.liteness  to  customers  on  the  part  of  its  clerks.  The 
clerk  is  sup|)osed  to  meet  all  kinds  of  jjrouchiness  with  a  smiling 
countenance  and  no  sort  of  stupidity  must  excite  his  irascibility. 
An  example,  iM»ssihly  ajxuryphal.  of  what  the  clerk  has  to  put 
up  with  is  given  thus  in  the  latest  numl)er  of  the  "Cnited 
Shield": 

The  chief  clerk  of  a  New  ^*ork  store  encountered  a  har«l 
customer  the  other  <lay.  The  customer  laid  down  his  nioney 
and  said : 

"Hassans." 

While  the  clerk   was   ^'etting  the  cigarettes   the  customer 

said : 

"I  want  my  coui>on.** 

The  clerk  handed  the  customer  the  packaj;e  and  the  ci»ujH.n 

"Matches."  siiid  the  customer,  and  got  them 

"More  matches,"  .sai«l  the  customer,  and  the  clerk  com- 
plied. 

"What  time  is  it?"  said  the  customer. 

The  clerk  told  him  and  l«Mikcd  pleasant 

"My  father  wants  to  liorrow  your  st»p  ladtler  -  where  is 
it*""  was  the  f1n.1l  shot,  at  which  the  clerk  fainted  'lea<l  away.

If  tile  matter  concerns  some  particular  member  of  the  staff 
>ay  so  inside  and  it  will  have  Intler  and  quicker  attention  than 
if  ad<lres>ed  to  him  individually.

Lancaster. 

After  the  close  of  business  the  day  before  Chri>tmas,  the 
cigar  manufacturer>  began  active  preparations  for  their  annua! 
inventories.  The  results  have  been  now  obtained  and  they  show 
up  far  more  gratify ingly  than  was  expected  consi.Iering  the 
desultory  business  during  a  cousitlcrable  i>ortion  of  li/mj.  The 
output  for  the  year  was  after  all  tu»t  so  bad  ami  little  trouble 
was  experienced  during  the  year  in  the  matter  of  price  regula- 
tion. It  is  also  signiticant  that  a  large  number  of  new  licenses 
were  taken  out  during  the  month  of  December,  indicating  that 
more  are  contemi)latiiig  the  cigar  manufacturing  hM^iness. 

.Several  of  the  traveling  representatives  of  the  larger  cigar 
manufacturing  establishments  have  been  visiting  factory  head- 
<|uarter>  during  the  past  week  or  two.  ami  tliis  is  especially 
tnie  of  the  S.  R.  Moss  Cigar  Co.  .\ew  lines  of  samples  are 
now  being  prej)arcd  and  the  men  will  start  early  in  the  new  year 
determined  tt>  make  itjio  a  rcconl  breaking  year  for  the  Moss 
factories. 

.XIany  manufacturers  have  a  go«Klly  number  of  orders  un 
hand  with  which  to  begin  the  new  year,  ami  <|uite  a  contrast 
between  the  activities  of  last  January  ( 1909)  will  be  shown 
with  this  January  (1910). 

For  scveray  years  Jacob  .XIayer,  (Hic  of  the  oldest  leaf  to- 
bacco dealers  in  the  city,  has  thought  of  retiring  from  business, 
but  it  was  not  until  recently  that  he  tinally  ma«le  up  his  mind  to 
do  so,  because,  although  advanced  in  years,  he  is  still  active 
physically  and  mentally,  and  he  felt  that  time  would  hang  heavily 
on  him  without  his  usual  occupation  at  hand.  His  warehouse 
on  North  Prince  Street  has  been  taken  by  .XL  Levy  &  Sons. 

Menko  Rose,  of  the  leaf  firm  of  Rose  &  \\  obbe.  New 
York,  visited  Lancaster  and  was  accompanie<l  al>>ut  town  by 
Win.  Deliaven,  their  local  rei)rescntative. 

R.  E.  Jacoby,  cigar  manufacturer  at  Rothsville,  Pa.,  re- 
cently secured  his  discharge  in  bankruptcy. 


York. 

At  the  dose  of  business  on  December  31st,  the  receipts  lor 
the  s;ile  ot  stamps  at  the  I.Hral  revenue  ..tlicc  had  amounted  to 
:^77,ooo  for  the  mt»nth.  which  was  $5,000  more  than  during  the 
corresponding  month  of  i.j(vX 

The  stamp  s;iles  indicate  an  output  m  this  Division  of  the 
Ninth  District  ..f  -.'5.(K>7.ooo,  as  against  J4.ck».ouo  .luring 
December.  19^*8.  Ot  course,  it  also  shows  a  decrease  as  com- 
parc.I  with  the  nu»nth  of  NovcmlK-r,  hut  that  is  no  fair  cunijiari- 
s.>n,  because  N.»vembcr  is  invariabK  the  heaviest  nK»nlh  of  the 
year.  .\t  any  rate  the  t..tal  priKluction  fur  the  year  is  nicely  in 
excess  of  the  preceding  year,  an. I  present  indicatit«is  are  that  a 
steady  gain  will  be  maintained  from  this  time  on. 

Sixteen  new  licenses  were  graiitc«l  tt»  cigar  manufacturers 
wi-hing  I..  >tart  cigar  manuf.icturing.  .luring  the  in. ►nth  of

Cold  Weather  Delays  Tobacco  Preparation. 

I'Vom  the  West,  ami  from  .New  F.nglaiul.  tfMi,  tobacco 
planters  have  sufTered  from  the  severe  winter  weather  in  the 
work  of  preparing  crops  for  market.  Many  of  the  growers  have 
found  the  bullocks  frozen  on  the  jMiles  and  must  wait  for  a 
thaw.  In  some  secti<»ns.  most  «»f  the  crop  still  hangs  in  the 
curing  sheds,  with  no  signs  of  casing  weather  in  ^ight.

[OBBERS   who   are    looking   for   something

this  atimial  meetinR  somewhat  earlier  than  usual  Iwcause  of  the  neccs 
sjty  of  decidiuK  at  once  whether  or  not  the  ass.Kiation  >s  prepared  to 
accept  the  changes  in  statutory  packages  of  smokuig  t»>l.acco.  snutf  and 
cigarettes  which  Congress  at  its  special  session  provided  should  become 
effective  on  Julv  i.  IQIO.  and.  if  JU)t.  what  action  should  be  taken  by 
the  association  'to  prevent  the  unnecessary  and,  to  our  mind,  aiisuru 
miml>cr  of  new  sizes  authorized.  .      1     / 

We  have  also  to  consider  the  fact  that  on  July  i.  i(>io.  instead  ot 
a  6-cents  tax.  we  arc  confrontcl  with  an  8-cents  tax.  and  in  view  ot 
the  continued  high  price  of  Burley  tobacco,  it  is  a  question  whether,  as 
an  association,  we  should  not  endeavor  to  get  anotlier  years  grace 
before  this  increase  of  tax  becomes  effective.  t    /   ^^ 

On  two  previous  occasions  I  have  had  the  privilege  of  laying  before 
the  association  somewhat  lengthy  reports  giving  in  more  or  less  detail 
the   work   of   the   associatii»n    from    its    inception    until    the    time   these 
reports  were  submitte.l.     I  therefore  feel  that  it  is  ".''"^'^r^^fy Jj]  'J}'. 
crate  what  has  been  said  before,  and  in  this  report  will  chiefly  deal  with 

During  the' vear  it  has  been  a  pleasure  to  see  the  gent^al  business 
of  the  country' steadily  improving,  arid  w-ith  the  ^''^P^"*"  *^^ J^* 
unusually  high'price  of  Burley  tobacco,  in  which  many  of  our  members 
are  largely  interested,  the  tobacco  business,  on  the  whole,  has   haU  a 

satisfactory  year.  .        .         r,        ««  \

1  HK   I'KtJCtiiSKS  OF  CLLTIVATION. 

\  arious  expressions  arc  used  lu  denote  the  processes  cm- 
pIo\id  III  the  different  stages  ol  cultivation.  1  oppmg  i^  the 
term  iinpUmg  the  removal  «.|  the  seed  head;  this  i^  dune  to  di- 
vert the  vitality  of  the  plant  from  its  essentially  physiologic 
function— the  perpetuation  of  the  species— to  the  development 
of  the  leaf,  tuckers  are  thrown  out  at  the  place  of  topping, 
and  these,  Uh>,  must  be  removed  promptly.  This  applies  as  well 
t'.  the  method  by  which  the  strength  of  the  leaves  is  maintained 
b>  restricting  their  number,  if  seeds  are  Ut  be  gathered  certain 
plants  must  be  set  apart  from  (.thers  and  these  cultivated  with 
special  reference  to  this  puri>osc.  When  the  leaf  is  ripe  it  is 
harvested. 

i  he  length  ol  time  between  topping  and  harvesting  varies 
greatly,  and  exiK-rieiice  is  needed  to  deci«lc  on  the  proper  color 
and  hrmness  at  which  to  Ugin.  Lutling  or  priming  is  the  term 
by  which  is  umlerstocnl  the  process  of  gathering  the  leaves  for 
curing.  This  is  one  of  the  most  imi)ortanl  steps  in  the  culti- 
vation of  tobacco.  It  must  \)c  done  on  a  dry  day,  so  that  the 
leaf  will  Ik*  clean,  uiisixitted,  and  free  from  fungus.  According 
to  the  habit  of  the  country  or  district  the  leaves  are  now  place<l 
m  a  basket  or  hung  on  a  l>oard  or  wire,  and  allowed  to  wilt. 
Then  it  is  cured.  Curing  is,  of  course,  the  step  which  changes 
the  product  from  a  mere  agricultural  to  a  purely  commercial 
c«jinin«><lity.  Tobacco  must  not  be  permitted  to  sweat,  which 
really  means  the  growth  t.f  fungus,  for  if  fungus  once  starts 
in  a  warehouse,  it  is  liable  to  sprea«l  throughout  all  the  stock; 
neither  must  it  ferment  too  soon,  for  the  result  will  be  the  same, 
or  lead  U)  evils  e(|ually  as  disastrous. 

Proper  fermentation  is  an  art  and  must  be  controlled  by  an 
expert  whose  personal  judgmc-nt  has  been  tested  by  long  hand- 
ling of  tobacco  in  all  stages.     The  technical  process  is  called

pressing,  but  does  not  necessarily  imply  that  the  leaves  them- 
selves are  subjected  to  great  pressure;  they  are  weighted  down

were,  thrtnigh  heat  ami  moisture. 

This  fennentatiou  pnKcss  develops  in  the  tt>Uicco  leaves 
the  characteristic  (jualities  «»f  the  commercial  article.     Fermen- 
tation follows  imme<liately  after  curing,  when  U.th  are  done  by 
tl-.e  grower,  but  where  the  cure»I  tobacco  is  l>ought  up  by  manu- 
facturers several  months  may  pass  before  it  is  subjccte<l  to  the 
latter  process.     When  tobacco  is  ready   for  manufacture  mU 
its  finished  condition  for  consumption,  the  amount  of  nicotin  is 
relatively  unimi>utant.  and  it  is  certain  that  the  excellence  of 
the  leaf  and  its  adaptabiHty  are  not  dependent  u\^m  it.     If  the 
prime  object  of  tobacco  culture  were  the  production  of  nicotin. 
a«i  the  prime  object  of  raising  sugar  In-cts  is  the  pra<luctu»n  of 
Kiigar.  then  the  amount  of  nicotin  might  be  force<l  by  the  use 
of  nitrogenous  fertilizers,  but  nicotin  alone  no  more  makes  a 
g.MHl  tobacco  than  d<»es  alcohol  alone  make  a  g«Hv!  wine.     The 
tlavor  and  aroma  are  much  more  important.

Classification  of  the  leave-  m.w  takes  place,  although  some 
selection  has  taken  place  in  the  earlier  stages.     A  division  jx^p- 
ularized  bv  long  use  separates  them  acc.»rding  to  their  color 
into-  riaro.  light  brown:  Colorado  dan.,  brownish  >ellow;  Col-

This  has  applied   largelv   to  the   wrappers,  but   Sumatra  an.l 
other  leaves  are  tonlav  more  freely  employed  for  wrapper^  and 
,s  fashion  m>w  a.lmits  that  a  g.HHl  cigar  is  something  besu  es  a 
wrapper.  an<1  that  a  g-><l  wrapper  may  |)ossess  other  ciuahties 
than  color,  adherence  is  m.t  always  given  to  the  above  c  assifi- 
cition      Thi.  whole  question  is  one  decided  ultimately  by  the 
manufacturer  and  the  consumer,  the  latter  exercising  his  taste. 

the  fomier  his  judgment. 

Taste  takes  the  direction  of  strength,  aroma,  moisture  or 
drvness.  and  appearance  of  the  finished  article,  whether  cigar 
or'cigarette;  ju<lgment  is  necessary  on  the  part  of  the  manufac- 
turer in  deciding  not  onlv  these  p<.ints.  but  also  the  r,uest.ons  of 
mialitv.  ami  serviceability  for  filler,  binder,  and  wrapper;  IkUIj 
taste  an<l  judgment  unite  in  demanding  that  a  tobacco  when  used 
for  smoking  purposes  must  have  a  go<.d  burn.  Burning  quality 
is  the  most  important   requirement    for  a   first-class  smoking

One  fact  is  noticeable,  however,  ,n  comparing  the  compo 


the  t»»l»acco  plant  with  that  of  other  agricultural  cn^ps ;  it  has  a 
remarkably  high  content  of  mineral  matter,  couiinonly  calleil  the 
ash.  On  the  average  this  a-h  is  well  aln.ve  15  per  cent  of  the 
total  weight  of  the  «lry  leaf,  and  a  tli^tinct  relatiim  is  demonstra- 
ble betwtvn  the  mineral  c«»nstituenls  of  the  a^h  an«l  its  g.>«Ml  or 
]xx)r  burning  qualities. 

Two  umlispute*!  facts  have  resulte«l  fr«ni  innumerable 
studies  made  in  this  regard,  and  these  are  that  chl«>rin  injures 
the  tire-holding  capacity  of  the  leaf,  while  jn.tash  favors  this 
pn.pertv:  these  facts,  however,  are  insufficient  in  themselves  to 
explain  fully  the  burning  qualities  of  difTeretit  samples  of  ttv 
bacc«i.  Yet  the  ultimate  analysis  indicates  that  \mAr^\\  salts,  in 
.lue  combination  with  calcium  and  magnesium,  pnvluce  the  best 
ash  and  give  that  «lesired  burn  which  characterizes  the  highest 
pricetl  leaf  in  the  tobacco  trade.

such  proportions  that  the  IVjvirtment  of  .Agriculture  at  Wash-

many  up-tr»-date  cigar  stores  to  <lay  special  win*low  displays 
are  being  given  to  the  calabash  pi|K's  and  the  sale  has  been  aug-

The  annual  meeting;  of  the  Clear  Havana  Cijjar  Manu-

IC'TAIL  cigar  and  tobacct)  clealcrs  in  the  larger  cities 
wh«»  have  seen  tlic  steady  growth  of  the  number  «»f 
liranch  stores  of  the  I'nited  I  igar  Stores  Com|uny 

m.-v  have  wondere«l  often  as  to  causes,     .\side  from 

any  econi.mic  advantages  these  stores  may  enjoy,  there  is  an- 
other basic  reason— the  high  standard  of  salesmanship.  A 
study  of  the  selling  nuthmls  of  these  stores,  the  writer  believes, 
would  prove  helpful  to  any  dealer  who  tlesircs  to  ex|Kind  his 
business  by  nvHlern  metluMls. 

C.eorge  I.  W  helan.  while  president  of  the  company,  insti- 
tuted the  svstem,  and  believes  that,  after  all.  it  is  the  human 
element  that  omnts  in  selling  go^^ls.  and  that  the  best  etT..rt  .)f 
the  management  in  securing  right-priced  stock  ami  a  onvenicnt 
l.^ation  will  g'»  f'»r  nothing  «i  the  man  behiml  the  oninter  is 
not  -on  the  job*  with  all  the  f..rce  there  is  in  him.  To  bring 
out  that  f.»rce  and  at  the  same  time  properly  to  conceal  from 
the  customer  that  it  is  being  used,  he  has  estabhshe«l  fiir  the 
clerks  of  the  big  ciicern  a  scIvh.1  of  salesmanship  founded  on 
the  two  wi>rds,  "Thank  y<»u." 

Of  this  sch<.^»l  Mr.  Whelau  says: 

"In  salesmanship,  it  is  the  personal  relation  that  tells.  Ibis 
nnist  begin  with  courtesy,  which  is  the  cheapest  comm-Mhty  ui 
the  world  and  is  the  basis  r>f  all  g-'d  retail  scntce.  hat  is 
win  I  laid  down  the  rule  that  not  only  should  every  salesman 
sav  -Thank  vou'  to  everv  customer,  but  also  should  say  it  as 
if  lie  reallv  meant  it.  We  have  spent  S5<».ckic>  hammering  thi^ 
idea  in.  So  thor.mghly  .lo  1  believe  in  it  that  one  day  ast  y<N.r 
I  .ent  the  following  telegram  to  every  clerk  in  our  employ  :  Pid

aI\\a)N  slriuiv  me  as  a  iiiiKlity  .IjIVkuIi  job  to  do  it 
with  l\\M,  aii<l  after  watflun^  Maclyii  Arlnukle  during 
Mvcral  iHrformaiKis  «>f  tin  'IvmhihI  Up"  pcrfnrin  the 
tiiik  with  "uv  haiwl.  I  o»nsi.lir  that  my  ediuatinn  was  sadly 
ne;jlett«d.  All  amtisiii^^  ihiiij;  m  lhi>  iMiiiiectiuii  was  tlic  diffi- 
iulty  of  <.htaimiiK  aii  aet.»r  to  sueceed  Mr.  Arhuckle  in  the  part 
when  the  "Komid  I  |»'  t«K.k  the  road  this  seas4»n.  Tlie  work 
tiiiallv  fill  to  the  lot  of  a  k<"»«1  frieiul  of  mine,  Kaphy  H«.lmt-. 
ami  he  told  me  that  the  slud>in;;  of  «/)  pages  of  typewritten 
manns*  ript  was  mere  einMs  play  in  comparison  with  the 
arduous  work  and  e«.n!in«ious  i)raetiee  whiih  Arhuckle  put  him 
through  in  his  efforts  to  teaeh  htm  the  cigarette  rolling  trick. 

As  a  stage  novelty,  this  little  j»iece  of  "business"  which 
niade  such  a  big  hit  in  the  "Kound  I'p"  is  not  a  new  i<lea  at 
all.  Iweiity  years  ago  the  veteran  act<»r,  William  II.  Thomp- 
son, uhilf  playing  the  part  of  "An  American  in  ICngland," 
was  conipelUd  to  go  through  a  ten  minutes'  speech  on  the  stage 
while  talking  to  thr  leading  lady.  This  is  a  dea<lly  situati«»n  in 
stagecraft  and  it  takes  a  wonderful  actor  to  get  away  with  such 
a  situation  successfully.  Mr.  rhomj)son  had  at  that  time  a 
friend  named  ( liUon.  who  had  spnil  many  years  in  South 
America,  where  he  had  learned  the  trick  of  roiling  a  cigarette 
in  his  iM.cket  with  either  hand,  lie  imparted  this  knowledge 
to  Mr.  Thomps«*n  and  while  standing  arrayed  in  evening  dress 
during  the  dillicult  scene  bef<»re  mentioned,  Mr.  Thompson 
used  to  slip  his  right  hand  in  his  vest  pocket  where  he  had  to- 
!>acco  paprrs  already  fohled.  manipulate  the  loose  toijacco  into 
shape,  twist  it  au<l  take  it  fn.m  his  iK»cket  and  slip  it  in  his 
mouth  while  resting  his  head  on  his  left  liand.  The  trick  always 
brought  down  the  house.  The  veteran  actor  toM  me  that  it  t.n.k 
him  fully  nine  weeks  to  perfect  himself  in  this  operati«»n. 

To  the  Western  plainsman  an.l  the  .^outh  .Americans  who 
acpiire  the  knack  fn.m  childluM.d.  it  is  always  amusing  to  see 
those  of  the  mon  "citified"  ways  attempt  an  operation  which 
peculiarly  belongs  to  the  tiut-of-<l<M>r  class. 

Personally,  1  get  my  cigarettes  rea<ly  ma.le. 


An  old  friend  of  mine  who  has  the  habit  of  smoking  him- 
self to  sleep,  t..M  me  the  other  <lay  that  if  1  should  ever  be  .so 
ffM.lish  as  t«»  contract  the  habit,  to  be  sure  and  always  hold 
my  cigar  or  cigarette  between  the  second  and  third  fingers  of 
my  right  hand  rather  than  between  the  in<lex  and  the  second 
finger.  1 U-  said  in  esplauation  that  when  the  smoker  falls 
asleep  and  all  other  parts  «if  the  hand  are  liable  to  relaxation. 
the  second  and  third  fingers  will  remain  rigid  and  the  cigar  or 
cigarette  will  luver  drop  froni  the  grasp,  whereas  between  the 
hrst  and  sco-nd  fingers  relaxation  is  sure  to  occur  and  dis- 
astrous results  might  follow,  lie  has  learned  his  lesson  by 
experience,  evidi-ntly.  for  his  wife  told  me  that  twice  he  had 
set  the  U'd  on  fin-  bef<.re  a  physician  friend,  despairing  of  at- 
tempting to  cure  him  of  his  peniicious  habit,  gave  him  this 
sane  precautionary  stiggcsti(»n. 


I  was  much  interested  in  reading  the  other  day  in  Peary's 
own  account  of  his  trip  to  the  North  Pole  that,  despite  all  the 
scrutiny  bestowet!  uix^n  every  ounce  of  weight  in  the  supplies 


which  he  carried  with  him  on  his  long  and  perilous  journey, 
one  of  the  few  items  was  i.(kx>  |M»unds  of  smoking  tobacco. 
1  his  calls  t<»  min.l  the  fact  that  in  the  etpiiiunent  of  stores  for 
any  sailing  voyage  or  sea  trip  of  a  lengthy  iluration  the  item 
of  tobacco  is  one  of  the  ino.st  imin.rtant  features  which  a 
<|uartermaster  must  not  overl<K»k. 

Morgan  R«»bertson.  the  clever  writer  of  sea  stories,  em 
phasi/(«l  this  fact  recently  in  a  very  amusing  bit  of  fiction  en- 
titled ".\o  Smoking."  wherein  the  crew  of  a  sailing  vessel  were 
unfortunate  en<»ugh  to  have  on  lK>ard  the  owner  of  the  ship. 
wh«»  iM)sted  a  sign  on  tl.e  forecastle  despite  the  warnings  of  his 
captain,  that  smoking  was  not  allowed.  Ihese  onlers  finally 
resulted  in  a  mutiny,  the  breaking  int..  of  the  cargo  by  the 
crew  and  the  owner's  idtimate  conversion  to  the  use  of  the 
fine  flavana  cigars  which  the  mutineers  found  stowed  in  the 
hold. 

A  chap  ha«l  a  canny  Sc«.t  in  tow  in  .New  York  the  other 
day,  who  ha<l  come  to  him  with  a  strong  letter  of  introductitrti 
which  he  c<.ul«l  not  well  disregard,  and  he  told  me  an  amusing 
incident  in  connection  with  his  travels  around  the  city  with  the 
.^Ci.tchman.  which  w«.uld  indicate  something  of  the  tjualities 
which  enabled  the  Laird  ..f  SkiU)  to  stow  away  his  is.»cx>,ooo,000 
wi>rth  of  Steel  l)onds. 

It  seems  that  f..r  three  days  the  New  Yorker  had  been 
escorting  the  wealthy  Sctchman  an.und  the  city,  spending 
liUrally  for  drinks  and  smokes.  .\lM.ut  the  third  day  the  P.riton 
was  getting  his  iK-arings  and  also  some  idea  of  .American  com- 
mercial meth.Mls.  During  the  course  ..f  their  travels  they 
drifted  into  a  well  known  cigar  store,  where  my  .American 
friend  laid  down  twenty  cents  and  called  fi>r  two  ten-cent  cigars. 
The  salesman  pulle«l  t.ut  a  Ix.x  and  the  Scot  watche«l  the  oiK-ra- 
titm  carefully,  .\fter  each  had  helind  themselves  to  a  cigar 
and  left  the  store,  they  pnKee<led  aln.ut  twenty  steps,  when  the 
Scotchman  excuse<l  himself  a  moment,  slipped  back  into  the 
store  an<l,  laving  dt.wn  a  nickel.  demande<l  another  cigar.  He 
had  observe.!  the  "three  for  a  <|uarter"  sign  and  was  not  over- 
ItM.king  an  opjx.rtunity  of  getting  two  ten-cent  cigars  for  five 

cents. 

"Shades  of  Harry  Lauder." 

The  big  hnnnl  of  fanatics  who  w.nd.l  al)<»lish  tobacco  from 
the  worhl  and  <leprive  the  nations  of  the  soothing  weed,  should 
note  what  .Mark  Twain  has  sai.l  since  losing  his  gifted  daughter, 
whose  tragic  death  ..ccurred  recently  in  Connecticut.  (  )n  leav- 
ing for  the  liennudas.  Mark  Twain  said  that  since  the  loss  of 
his  daughter,  who  was  the  last  but  one  of  his  household  other 
than  himself,  he  had  found  his  greatest  solace  in  his  cigar. 
WeigluMl  in  the  balance  1  shouhl  say  that  Mark  Twain  has  done 
UK.re  t<.  brighten  and  lighten  the  path  of  humanity  than  twenty 
of  the  m.»st-cultured  lu.wlers  who  inveigh  against  the  weed  in 
any  of  its  forms.  These  fi>rget  that  the  rain  falleth  on  the  to- 
bacco fields  as  freely  as  it  does  on  a  bed  of  violets  and  that  b..th 
have  their  exact  functions  in  the  great  economy  of  nature. 

1  will  sav  this,  however,  that  the  stale  smell  of  certain  five- 
cent  cigars  can  beat  a  bed  of  violets  hands  d<.wn.

I'RODLCfc   INSAMIY. 

The  I.imdon  Luncct  as  far  back  as  1H53  was  tackhnj;  th. 
subject  of  tobacco  adulteration  and  while  it  submitted  a  great 
nianv  facts,  no  evi<lence  was  diown  that  the  alleged  adultera- 
tions were  injurious  to  health.  In  iSHS  tlu  Lancet  .\nalyt.cal 
sanitarv  fommissi.m  wa^  ap|H.inte.l  Xn  inquire  nUo  the  crmies 
of  the  tobacconists  and  thev  foimd  then  that  there  was  nu  trace 
of  <.pium  or  arsenic  in  cigarette  pajK-r.  They  d.d.  however, 
find  a  trace  of  copinr,  chargeable  to  the  metallic  lettering  on 

the  wrajiper.  . 

\  great   furore  was  raised  in   i8*>i  nn  this  subject  and  in 
iH.^S  the  Lam  its  men  purchased  in  the  oi>en  market  numerous 
packages  of  ix.pular  American  cigarettes  and  sent  them  to  the

Slid  that  they  found  no  deleterious  substances  in  the  samples

taken  against  alL.wing  juveniles  to  smoke.  Dr.  W  m.  H.  Mctcher

of  the 'mala.lv  was  given  by   friends  as  the  cigarette  habit,  he 
bad  not  in  anv  one  instance  found  fact,  to  conhrm  the  charge. 
lie  stated,  moreover,  that  while  the  persons  were  insane,  their 
insanity  was  the  cause  of  their  excess  in  smoking  an.l  that  the

Cigars  in  Drug  Stores. 

To-day  cigars  are  a  very  imi>.»rtant  article  of  merchan.Iise 
in  many  .Irug  stores,  an.l  f.^r  the  amount  .»f  capital  invested, 
space  occupie.l.  time  taken  an.l  w.)rk  .l.>ne.  tlniggists  arc  well 
re|>;ii.l  f.>r  pushing  the  sale  of  cigars. 

It  retiuires  very  little  wrapping,  practically  no  .lelivering, 
n.»  .lea.l  st.nrk.  an.l  sides  arc  most  always  cash  an.l  very  little 
time  is  onsume.l  in  handling  the  tra.le.  These  are  at  least  a 
few  go<Hl  reas.>ns  why  it  is  .»fteii  profitable  f.»r  the  retail  .Inig- 
gist  t.>  han.lle  cigars  as  a  si.le  line. 

.\  cigar  business  can  U-  built  up  in  .Irug  st.)res  by  keeping 
a  ch.)ice  line  of  g.nwls  and  a  g.»o«l  assortment  ami  in  in-rhaps 
a  better  con.liti.>n  than  the  nearby  c.»mpetit.»r.  The  display 
of  a  sign  that  the  .Iniggist  makes  a  specialty  of  selling  cigars 
by  the  U^\  is  often  a  valuable  help  in  increasing  the  sales  over 
the  cigar  c«>unter. 

it  is  undoubtedlv  true  that  the  .Irug  st.ires  .d  t.»-ilay  have 
a  better  li.d.l  ..n  the  smoking  public  than  several  years  ago.  an.l 
this  must  be  ascnbe.l  to  their  .»wn  energy.  This  in  spite  .)f  the 
fact  that  the  average  .Irug  store  .l.»es  n..t  give  the  cigar  case  the 
attenti.m  it  .leserves.  f.»r  .mly  t.n.  many  ..f  them  seem  to  think 
that  the  department  will  run  itself.  .\n.l  so  it  will  practically,

the  less  water  there  will  In.-  nee.le.l.

is  t.»'have  shall.>w  zinc  pans  alnnit  the  size  of  a  caramel  pan. 
IHThaps  a  little  .leeper.  with  strips  of  wo<k1  or  metal  running

Dctr*»il,  .Mich..  Jan.   13. 

1111  the  holiday  rush  fairly  over,  Detrr.it  and  Michigan 
cigar  and  tobacco  manufacturers  are  scithng  down 
to  routine.  .\  visit  at  different  manufacturies  during 
the  past  week  revealed  the  tact  that  most  dealers  arc 
taking  sti^k.  From  what  incomplete  records  were  at  hatul  a 
very  goo<l  1909  business  was  shown,  and  in  the  main  Detroit 
manufacturers  are  satistied  with  the  season. 

The  year  opened  sluggishly  slow.  Due  to  the  financial 
depressitiii  and  the  unsettled  condition  t)f  the  State  over  the 
Prohibition  (juestion  retailers  were  slow  in  buying  stinrks. 
However,  once  the  situation  was  relieved,  business  picked  up 
rapidly,  and  when  the  year  closed  the  different  plants  in  the 
citv  were  putting  in  full  time  trying  to  meet  demands. 

Just  now.  factories  arc  beginning  active  operations  aUaM 
two  weeks  s(K»ner  than  customary.  Previously  cigar  and  cigar 
1m)X  factories  have  starle<l  wheels  turning  alxnit  two  weeks 
after  New  Years. 

W  liolesalers.  Xi**\  rep<'rt  a  more  than  average  business  in 
unit).  Collections  are  easy  ami  money  seems  freer  now  than 
in  months. 

The  inability  of  Detroit  railn>ads  to  handle  the  freight  ilur- 
ing  the  last  few  weeks  has  rcsultetl  in  a  congestion  in  the  l«>cal 
yanls  and  this  has  retarded  the  tilling  of  orders. 

An  endeavor  to  give  the  public  the  l>est  possible  cigar  for 
the  money  is  the  umlerlying  principle  in  the  business  of  the  ( i. 
H.  lohnson  Cigar  Co.,  in  ( Irand  Rapids.    Assisting  the  head  of 
the  firm— C.  J.  Johnson- in  this  bu-iness  enterprise,  which  has 
recently  move<l  into  its  new  S50.OUO  home,  where  employnunt 
is  given  to  upwards  of  3cx>  men  an«l  women,  arc  H.  I*.  Mc- 
Intyre.  vice  president.    an<l    J.    Dietrich,    secretary-treasurer. 
The   company   manufactures,   yearly.    i5.o(X>.ooo  cigars.     The 
company  has  a  wholesale  storehouse  in  .Minnea{v>lis.  Minn.,  as 
well  as  two  retail   stores,  one  in  Crand   Rapids,  and  one  in 
P.eloit.  Wis.     The  new  three-story  building  is  a  model  of  its 
kind,  made  to  make  it  an  ideal  working  place.     Its  superficial 
tlx.r  space  is  45.000  Mpiare   feet.     The  shipping  and  packing 
rof>ms  (Kaipv  3^000  s<|uare  feet.     On  the  second  fl»H)r  are  the 
strippers*  roonis.  while  up  another  easy  flight  of  stairs  is  the 
factorv  prc.per.  where  about  250  young  women  are  employed. 
The  floor  is  brilliantly  lighted  and  absolute  cleanliness  prevails 

evervwhere. 

In  the  basement  arc  liKrated  the  great  stores  of  tobacco. 
Mr.  lohnson  goes  in  person  to  .Amsterdam.  Holland,  to  select 
his  Sumatra  stock  for  wrapfx-rs.  which  he  purchases  through 
brokers  at  auction  sales  conducted  by  the  Holland  government. 
.Ml  the  girls  entering  the  service  to  learn  are  paid  a  living 
wage  from  the  start.  They  arc  paid  $4  per  week  at  the  start 
and  this  payment  is  continued  until  they  have  either  proved 
themselves  unwilling  or  incompetent,  upon  which  they  are 
discharged.  When  they  have  acrpiired  reasonable  skill  they 
arc  placed  on  piece  work  and  the  average  wage  is  .<i!4  weekly. 
.\  girls'  chorus  is  one  of  the  features  of  the  organization. 

The  San  Telmo  Cigar  Co..  of  Detroit,  will  erect  a  four- 
story  building  at  Michigan  avenue  and  Thirtv-fifth  street,  as 
soon  as  the  weather  permits.  The  companv  has  purchased  a 
strip  of  land  with  lOs  feet  frontage.  It  will  be  concrete  con- 
struction, fire-proof  and  with  all  modern  conveniences.  It  is 
said  the  companv  will  give  employment  to  i.ooo  more  persons. 
It  is  understood  among  Criswold  street  brokers  tliat  the 
Scotten-Dillon  Co..  will  soon  <leclarc  an  extra  regular  divnlend. 
This  will  mean  that  the  company  will  rlistribute.  during  the 
vear.  40  per  cent,  on  a  capitalization  of  5:500.000.

be  ^aid  to  have  made  i»omc  money,  while  the  big  majority  liavc 
not  liad  sufficient  orders  to  pay  their  expenses.  The  factory 
which  caimot  work  with  full  forces  is  in  a  precarious  condition 
as  the  running  charges  are  almost  the  same,  whether  it  is  work- 
ing with  full  steam  or  only  half  the  |H>wer.  The  craze  for 
light-colored  cigars  luis  been  another  Kii  the  drawbicks,  as  the 
1909  crop  only  prtKluceil  an  exceedingly  small  number  of  light 
leaf  wrapjHr  kdes  and  which  commanded  extraordinary  high 
prices.  lmjM>rters  and  retailers  of  cigars  in  the  United  Stales 
ought  to  be  aware  of  this  fact  aiul  therefore  educate  the  smok- 
ers not  to  insist  u|x)n  such  colors,  as  in  reality  the  Colorado 
shades  are  sweeter  in  taste  and  have  a  higher  aroma.  The  rais- 
ing of  the  taritls  in  Eur«»i>e  has  curtailed  the  consumption  of 
Havana  cigars,  so  that  iu»w  only  very  rich  people  can  afford 
the  luxury  of  a  legitimate  Havana  cigar.  Cuba  as  a  ward  of 
the  United  States  has  some  claim  for  a  more  liberal  treatment 
and  it  is  in  the  interest  t)f  both  nations  to  see  each  other  pros- 
|)erous. 

The  Henry  Clay  &  P»ock  &  Co.  Ltd.  is  only  restrained  from 
working  with  full  forces  owing  to  the  inability  of  replacing  its 
stocks  from  the  material  in  our  market,  and  therefore  is  cur- 
tailing the  execuli«»n  of  it>  numerous  onlers  until  the  new  crop

Hi>ward  Friend,  who  left  on  Jan.  1st,  1910,  by  the  S.  S. 
"Havana,"  has  purchased  close  on  to  1000  bales  of  all  kinds  of 
leaf  tobacco,  as  trustworthy  sources  proclaim;  and  as  he  is  an 
excellent  judge  of  Havana,  he  shall  have  ac(|uired  some  of 
the  tincst  X'egas  of  N'uelta  Abajo  from  the  lowland,  as  well 
as  th^  hilly  sections.  The  customers  of  the  Friend  Havana 
lobacco  Co.  can  be  sure  to  find  tobacco  to  suit  them  in  every 
respect. 

I'uente  Granda  &  Co.  were  sellers  of  500  bales  of  Vuelta 
Abajo  and  Partido. 

August  Kuttnauer  is  reported  to  have  purchased  1000 
bales  of  leaf  tobacco  for  the  well-known  and  highly-respected 
tinii  of  Rothschild,  Sons  &  Co.,  of  Chicago. 

.Sons,  de  A.  Gonzalez  closed  out  400  bales  of  VuHta  Abajo 
and  Remedios  tobacco.  This  firm  intemls  to  move  into  their 
newly  constructed  warehouse  Indusiria  152  to  158  and  No.  2 
iJarcelona  street,  about  Jan.  15th. 

\'entura  Blanco  left  on  Saturday,  Jan.  1st,  by  the  S.  S. 
"Havana,"  after  having  secured  another  800  bales  of  leaf  to- 
bacco. 

A.  M.  Calzada  &  Co.  are  reported  to  have  sold  350  bales 
of  their  fine  Vuelta  Abajo  escojidas  to  various  customers.  Don 
Antonio  has  acquired  the  hustling  habit  from  his  long  stay  in 
the  United  States  and  is  never  happy  unless  he  is  always  fully 
occupied,  buying  in  the  country  or  selling  in  town. 

Luis  Marx  has  been  picking  ni)e  leaves  from  his  large 
.plantations,  "Zorrilla"  and  "San  Antonio,"  for  the  last  two 
weeks  and  is  enthusiastic  about  the  fine  aspect  of  the  plants. 

Herrera,  Calmet  &  Co.  <lisiH)sed  of  325  bales  of  Remedios

The  Savannah  office  of  the  Cortez  Cigar  Co.  of  Key  West 
sent  five  of  their  salesmen  to  our  city  so  they  could  intelli- 
gently speak  about  the  fine  (piality  of  the  tobacco  employed  by 
the  above  factory  and  push  their  sales.  It  is  said  that  each  of 
the  five  gentlemen  will  have  to  sell  each  one  million  more  cigars 
in  their  respective  territories  this  year.  The  names  are:  Jos.

Trade  Comment. 

The  Wm  Kohlhepp  Cigar  Ct>.,  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  has 
amended  its  charier,  reilucing  its  capital  somewhat. 

.\  recent  item  credits  .\leri«len.  Conn.,  with  pr< Mincing  75 
brands  of  cigars  In-aring  the  blue  lalxd  of  the  union. 

C.  L.  Soule,  wholesale  l«»bacconist  at  Burlington.  \l  .wlu» 
was  burnt  out  recently  on  St.  I'aul  street,  will  likely  relocate 
on  Main  street. 

It  is  going  alxiut  thrtiugh  the  pa]K>rs  tlut  the  weight  of  a 
package  of  tobacc»>,  which  was  re<luced  to  ofTsel  the  last  war 
tax,  has  never  l)eeii  resloretl.  llie  war  ceased  but  the  light 
weight  continued. 

Don't  forget,  gentlemen,  that  the  average  ,\merican  likes 
a  gtxKl  liberal  plug  and  a  fair-size  smoke 

Down  in  llMpkinsville.  Ky.,  there  seems  to  be  one  Ich> 
many  of  the  numerous  unions  and  protective  assticiations  cre- 
ated for  the  beiietil  of  the  pnxlucers.  One  of  these,  called  tlie 
Planters'  I'rotective  .Association,  is  re|)ortetl  as  languishing  Ik»- 
cause  the  farmers  think  it  a  needless  overseer  of  their  affair*. 

The  Burley  bill  down  in  ohl  Kentucky  gets  an  enormous 
amount  of  free  advertising,  as  naturally  it  must,  for  it  is  now 
stated  that  they  control  an  output  «»f  i.jo,ooo,(wo  |>ounds.  for 
which  they  would  like  to  get  -h>  cents.  Who  says  tlwt  the  fann- 
ers cannot  get  up  a  corner  in  things  when  they  get  their  weather 
eye  really  open? 

Cigar  dealers  at  ChattaiUM.ga,  Tciin  .  got  really  mad 
(  hristmas  an»l  New  Year  when  they  caught  the  wliMloalers, 
..r  thought  they  caught  them,  silling  (hristmas  cigars  in  retail 
quantities  at  wholesale  prices.  .Ml  the  retailers  ask  is  that  the 
wholesalers  wear  the  garb  of  the  gentle  sheep,  which  they  pre- 
tend to  l>e  antl  thus  give  the  retail  lambkins  a  chance  W  hen 
this  is  «li»ne  Ix.lh  will  Ik*  real  giHMl.

DISTINCTIVE  should  add  the  line  of  EL

<)rKMlA-«  Hlhl-     luBAiro   i.  H\    ol-    r»-.KSIA. 


TTfl  ^    tile  western  part  <if    the    province    of    Adarbaijan, 
jffll        IVrsia.  is  situated  the  tliriviiij,'  city  <»f  (  Hirniia,  and 
jCQp       (111  the  land  adjacent  and  the  tablelands  not  far  dis- 
tanl,  is  j;rnwn  the  finest  and  largest  part  of  the  to- 
bacco croj)  of  this  ancient  country.     <  >unnia,  with  its  \xj\m- 
lation  of  50,cxx)  people,  fomis  one  of  the  b<»rdcr  cities  between 
i'ersia  and  Turkey  and  here,  twice  a  year,  the  tobacco  mer- 
1  hants  congregate  to  barter  their  wares.     To  the  cast  of  the 
city  a  short  distance  lies   Lake  (  )urniia,  a  !)eautiful  sheet  of 
water   seventy-five  miles  long  by   thirty  miles   wide,  and   the 
presence  of  this  lake  in  a  land  where  water  is  more  precious 
than  diamonds,  is  responsible  for  the  fertility  of  the  soil  and 
the  consetjuent  gtxxl  (|uality  of  the  tobacco  raised. 

There  are  four  varieties  of  tobacco  raised  m  Persia.  That 
grown  in  the  mountainous  regions  adjacent  to  Ourmia  is  de- 
cidedly the  best  (juality  and  the  soil  in  which  it  is  planted  is  re- 
markable as  being  ani<»ng  the  small  |>lots  of  grouiul  in  the  whole 
country  which  do  not  need  irrigati(»n.  The  plant  itself  bears  a 
very  small  leaf  and  the  tobacco  is  usually  n)ild  and  rich  in 
aroma,  resembling  in  many  resfRvts  the  Turkish  l«»bacco.  which 
is  known  in  the  Tnited  States  as  "/igna  (;<K>bag."  This  to- 
bacco is  almost  exclusively  use«l  in  the  manufacture  of  cigar- 
ettes an<l  the  surplus  crop  is  exiH»rted  into  Turkey,  some  of  it 


eventually  reaching  America.  As  a  matter  of 
I'.iit.  flurMig  till  past  few  years  the  exportation  of 
this  tok'icco  auit  IVr.siaji  opium  has  become  one 
<»t  the  most  imjiortant  phases  of  the  commercial 
re\»inies  nf  the  country. 

The  si-e«»nd  grade  of  Persian  tobacco  is 
culti\ate<l  in  the  lowlands  adjacent  to  Urumiah 
and  Is  km  wn  by  the  name  "I'rmie".  in  <juality 
and  I'M.k^  it  strongly  resembles  the  Turkish 
varu-l\  which  is  imjxirted  into  the  L'nited  States 
under  the  name  "I'.osnia".  This  grade  of  tobacco 
is  vers  jxipular  in  Persia  and  large  c{uantities  arc 
shippetl  mto  the  various  interior  provinces, 
lelitian  al«»ne  taking  50  i>er  cent,  of  the  crop. 
■  I  rnue'  is  utilized  for  the  manufacture  of 
cigarettes  and  is  largley  smoked  in  pipes  also.  In 
the  cultivating  of  "Uniiie"  it  is  necessary  to  carc- 
ftdly  irrigate  the  t(»bacco  lands  once  every  other 
day  Irom  the  time  of  planting  until  the  tobacco 
ri|>ens. 

I  he  third  variety  grown  in   Persia  is  of  an 

inferior  <|uality  an<l  is  raise<I  principally  in  the 

Pr«»vince  (»f  Keslit,  by  which  name  it  is  known. 

This  variety  resembles  in  all  its  details  the  cheap 

Sams«M»n  tobacco  of  Turkey.    The  plant  has  an 

unusiialiy  large  leaf,  which  is  rather  dark  in  color  and  it  is  very 

stn»ng.     It  is  raised  principally  for  pijK*  smoking  by  the  poorer 

classes. 

The  fourth  variety,  and  the  one  with  which  the  average 
Persian  himself  is  best  aijuaintetl,  is  raised  principally  around 
Shiraz  and  goes  under  the  name  of  ** Tambacoo".  This  species 
of  the  plant  bears  the  largest  leaf  of  any  variety  known  either 
in  Persia  or  the  Orient,  but  it  is  of  little  use  whatever, 
except  for  smoking  in  the  "kalian,"  which  is  the  native  water 
pi|)e.  It  cannot  be  used  in  this  however,  until  after  it  has  been 
thoroughly  soaked  and  washed  during  several  operations. 

We  present  herewith  a  characteristic  and  authentic  por- 
trait of  tw<»  Persian  wi»men  of  high  caste  seated  in  their  home 
and  putting  one  of  the  "kalians,"  which  is  filled  with  Tam- 
bacoo. .Students  of  pipes  ami  pipe  lore  will  recognize  at  once 
the  ditference  iK-tween  the  Persian  kalian  and  the  better  known 
nargileh,  or  water  pipe  «»f  Turkey  and  Egypt. 

During  a  four  years'  connection  with  the  Imperial  Gov- 
ernment as  Collector  of  Customs  at  the  city  of  Ourmia,  my 
statistics  show  that  the  exi)orts  and  imjKjrts  of  tobacco  at  this 
frontier  post  averaged  al)out  80.000  rupees  a  year,  but  this 
amount  is  gnawing  (juite  appreciably,  from  the  very  latest 
figures  obtainable.

#Y%1  m:  I*Oi:r  has  said  that  the  eyes  are  the  wintlow;  of  the  soul. 
HM  It'  this  is  so.  the  manner  in  which  a  man  bobh  a  cigar  is  the 
S»  ,i^,„  |^,,^rd  «»f  his  cliaracter.  This  is  a  de<iiiction  .Irawn  by  a 
veteran  retailer  of  cigars  an<l  t<»bacco.  whose  many  years  of  business 
have  brought  him  into  the  closest  relations  with  all  tyin-s  of  men  and 
have  given  him  an  uiuisual  opportunity  for  studying  the  um^mH  and 
methods  of  the  smoker. 

It  re.|uires  no  Sherl-ck  II..|mes  to  size  up  a  man  from  the  manner 
it)  whicli  he  wears  his  hat  ..r  his  necktie ;  the  way  he  sits  in  a  chair :  the 
wav  he  walks;  the  various  intonations  of  his  voice;  his  maimer  of 
laughing,  the  expressi.di  of  his  eyes,  the  curl  of  his  lip  ant!  other 
\arions  indices  of  character. 

P.ut  it  remainetl  l^r  a  retailer  wb..  is  somewhat  of  an  artist,  to 
trace  character  by  the  manner  in  which  the  smoker  holds  his  cigar.  It 
has  struck  this  man  that  there  are  certain  well-<lefined  mental  and 
moral  characteristics  which  reveal  themselves  immediately  the  smoker 

takes  up  a  cigar. 

If  yon  have  ne\er  noticed  this,  make  it  a  |K)int  to  study  by  your 
patrons  the  next  tinu'  they  <ln.p  in  fnr  their  favorite  cigars.  For  the

\Li:.sS  all  signs  fail,  there  will  be  no  prosecution  by 
the  Irderal  ( iovernnunt  of  the  linrley  Tobacco  So-

the  developments  since  the  visit  here  on  January  joth 
of  a  delegation  of  ]»roniiiunt  members  of  this  MKMety  who  ap- 
IK-ared  before  .\ssistant  Attorney  ( ".eneral  Wa<le  11.  b'.llis  to

and  that  it  in  no  way  controverted  the  bVderal  law  an«l  was 
really  aimed  to  counteract  the  conditions  brought  alnmt  by  the

|Kl".\  \Lh.NCK  of  cigar  stands  in  "t.-nsorial  parlors.'*as 
the  wax  bewhiskere.l  kirln-rs  call  their  sbaving  sbops. 
bas.  in  times  pa-t.  aroused  resentment  fn.m  the  legiti- 
mate cigar  dealer  It  caimot  be  denicil  that  the-e  sb..ps 
offer  a  big  outlet  for  the  cheaper  graile  of  cigars,  but  this  nux- 
inK  <.f  latner  and  t.ibacco.  it  strikes  me.  is  hardly  legitimate. 
True  it  is  that  when  a  man  wants  a  go.>d  cigar  he  does  not 
l,H.k  into  a  barbi-r  shop  for  it.  but  there  is  a  great  tinnptati..n 
to  the  average  man  when  be  alights  from  the  barbers  chair 
to  pick  ..ut  a  cigar  to  smoke  rm  his  way  home 

However   there  is  one  barber  sbop.  or  T  might  say  a  chain 
nf  sbops.  in  Philadelphia  which  do  not  care  to  mix  the  two 
btisinesses.  and  these,  by  the  way.  are  tbe  most  success f,,l  arid 
Wst  patronized  shops  in  the  citv.    The  chain  consists  of  eight 
beautifullv  appointed  shops,  principallv  in  hotels  and  ..t  desir 
able  comers  in  Philadelphia:  one  in  Wa^^hington  and  another 
in   Xew  York      The  pn^prietor  of  these  shops  does  nothing 
but'the  barber  business,  his  reason  being  that  he  does  not  care 
to  antagonize  the  strictly  retail  cigar  store,  manv  proprietors 
of    which    patronize  him   exclusivelv.   and.    sccondlv.   r>ecause 
be  thinks  that  a  high-class  barber  shop  is  no  place  for  a  low- 
grade  cigar  stand.     And  his  theory  is  working  out  to  bis  finan- 
cial advantage. 

Tn  a  talk  with  a  veteran  cigar  dealer  a  day  or  two  since, 
he  gave  a  clever  tip  on  the  han<lling  of  customers,  which. 
T  th^k  is  worthv  of  the  consideratirn.  of  anv  dealer  or  clerk. 
H  sll  th^t  he  alwavs  made  it  a  point  when  ^^  ^^^ 
entere<l  the  store  and  one  of  them,  for  instance,  laid  down 
1^  cents  for  a  cheap  ..oke  and  the  other  a  nuai^^or  or  a 
2;-cent  Perfecto.  he  alwavs.  in  a  Mi"ct  wav  waitnl  on  the  three

or  the  nianufartiirer   who  Ml.lnlKe^   in   this  practJce  can   exist 

long. 

The  Aineriian  people,  it  is  true,  like  to  be  hnncoe«l  more 
than  any  other  peopli  ..n  tarth.  hut  once  they  <liscover  tlie  <le- 
leption.'thev  are  «|niik  t..  resent  it.  In  the  cij^'ar  l)U>iness.  as 
in  anv  other  hn^inevs  the  .leaUr  wIk.  delivers  the  >4< ►<►<!'>  as  acl- 
vertis'e.l  will  succeed  not  ..nly  ni  huihlinK  up  and  keeping  his 
own  trade,  hut  attracting  transients  by  his  reputatu.n. 

Some  retail  stores  are  w(.nt  to  i.ffer  s|>ecial  cigars  on  l*>i- 
days  and  Saturdays  for  five  cents,  which  they  say  arc  soM 
du'rinj;  the  week  at  ten  cents.  While  this  may  be  a  clever 
scheme,  it  hardly  strnis  plausible  that  if  a  ci^ar  is  worth  ten 
cents  on  Monday,  that  it  can  be  s(.ld  for  five  on  Satunlay.  It 
is  not  iHissible  that  the  man  wlu»  buys  on  Monday  has  been 
cheated  and  the  man  who  buys  on  Satunlay  is  sold  under  false 
pretenses?  Ihere  is  no  way  to  force  an  end  to  this  practice, 
but  it  JKTurs  to  the  writer  that  no  <leep  thinking  smoker  will 
fall  for  it.  and  if  he  sh.niM.  he  cannot  but  regard  such  a  st..re 
with   suspicion. 

While  it  may  l>e  k«kk1  business  to  have  bargain  days  in 
cigars,  as  it  is  in  <le|.arlment  st(»res,  the  average  smc.ker  knows 
that  a  real  ten-cent  cigar  can  never  be  sold  for  five.  He  also 
knows  that  he  can  l>uy  six  regular  five-cent  cigars  for  a  «|uarter 
and  this  is  a  legitimate  (.ffer  based  on  the  volume  of  business, 
it  is  admitte<l  that  very  few  smokers  can  tell  a  g«M.d  cigar  even 
when  they  smoke  it.  A  cigar  that  suits  one  man  is  obnoxious 
to  anc.ther.  h'ach  has  his  individual  taste  and  the  retailer  nnist 
carry  a  sufficient  variety  of  bratuls  to  suit  all  kiiuls  ami  condi- 
tions of  men.  In  nothing  sn  much  as  in  cigar-,  perhaps,  does 
fact  connt  for  so  little  an«l  imaginaticm  for  so  much.  Some 
smokers  think  that  <lark  tobacco  is  stnmg.  and  light  mihl.  so. 
wishing  t«.  smoke  a  light  braiwl.  they  ch<M.se  a  light  wrapper  and 
those  who  wish  for  a  strong  smoke,  pick  out  a  dark  wrapi>er 
;uid  go  away  satisfied.  The  fact  is  that  the  «lark  colnr  may  in- 
dicate merely  that  the  tol)acco  is  well  cured. 

The  absunlity  of  judging  a  strong  cigar  by  the  w  rapper  or 
judging  the  rpiality  by  snifTing  at  the  w  ra|)per,  becomes  at  once 
apparent  when  a  pri»portionate  amount  of  tobacc«»  within  the 
wrapper  is  considered.  Of  course  the  <|uality  <»f  the  wrapper 
iiwlicates  to  some  degree  the  <|uality  of  the  cigar,  but.  after  all, 
a  cigar  must  be  judge<l.  when  purchased  through  a  legitimate 
manufacturer,  by  the  price  paid  for  it.  A  professional  tester 
of  cigars  will  hardly  venture  his  judgment  mitil  he  has  slowly 
smoked  the  cigar  to  the  en<l.  How.  then,  can  the  average 
smoker  pass  judgment  by  merely  snifling  at  it? 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  imagination  enters  largely 
int«.  the  selection  of  giMuls  by  the  consumer,  there  are  very  few 
who  cotmot  at  once  «letect  a  rank  cigar,  and  any  dealer  who  at- 
tejupts  to  palm  oflf  a  cheap  substitute  for  a  stauflard  brand  is 
sure  to  lie  discovered. 


Why  Retailers  Should  Advertise. 

It  is  a  lamentable  fact  that  probably  no  class  of  modern 
merchants  use  less  advertising  space  in  their  local  papers  than 
retail  cigar  dealers  This  has  been  due  to  various  reasons: 
chiefly  to  the  fact  that  the  margin  of  profit  an<l  the  expense  of 


conductmg  tl-.e  average  retail  stan<l  are  so  close  that  the  average 
merchant  is  loath  to  invest  his  money  in  an  atlvertismg  g-amble. 
We  believe,  however,  that  this  is  a  very  narrow  and  too 
conservative  view  of  the  situation  and  that  the  largest  retail 
stores  should  use  space  in  their  local  newspapers,  when  they 
have  s<»mething  s|K'eial  to  ufTer,  whether  they  be  on  special  bar- 
gain <lavs  or  some  new  brand  which  it  is  desired  to  push.  Kvery 
other  branch  .»!  business  has  been  e<lucated  to  expend  liber- 
ally in  advertising,  an.l  we  believe  that  the  cigar  dealer  can 
use  small  space  advantageously.  This  a<lvertising  will  not  only 
serve  to  move  special  lots  which  he  desires  to  clear,  but  wdl 
bring  t<.  his  .store  the  accumulative  efTect  of  advertising  his 

name. 

Mr.  Dealer,  if  you  have  not  trie«l  this  a«lvcrtising  proposi- 
tion, do  so.     We  will  be  gla.l  to  hear  from  you  as  to  the  results. 


Heart-lo-Hcart  Talks  With  Clerks. 

The  ideal  cigar  store  clerk  will  of  necessity  be  proud  of 
the  store.  Ixlicve  in  it.  believe  that  it  is  the  l)est  store  in  the 
place  ;  believe  that  he  has  tlie  best goo«Is  ; the  best  service;in  fact, 
the  best  evcrvthing.  Certainly  that  is  how  he  should  feel  and 
must  feel  or  he  cannot  h«»pe  to  win  out.  He  must  be  able  to 
forget  that  there  is  competiti(.n.  forget  all  about  all  other  stores. 
The  theory  of  handing  out  best  quality  an<l  obtaining  best  prices 
should  be  ui)pennost  in  his  mind.  So  far  as  prospective  cus- 
tomers are  concerned  certainly  no  comment  should  ever  be 
made  concerning  any  r.ther  store;  that  should  l>e  told  to  the 
manager  or  the  "boss"  and  let  them  regulate  such  matters. 

The  clerk  can  be  of  great  assistence  in  the  various  «lepart- 
ments  of  a  well  regulated  retail  store,  and  a  retail  store  would 
not  Ik-  a  well  regulated  establishment  without  several  <lepart- 
ments;  as  for  instance,  cigars,  cigarettes,  pipes  and  smoker's 
articles.  &c.  They  all  afford  opportunities  for  making  new  cus- 
tomers and  the  skillful  salesman  will  never  let  escai)c  an  opp.r- 
tunity  to  sell  an  expensive  pipe  to  a  customer  who  comes  in  to 
buy  a  few  cigars,  and  makes  perhaps  a  casual  inquiry  concerning 

pipe  (juality. 

A  ladies  dei)artmcnt.  at  certain  seasons  of  the  year  is  also 
desirable  for  it  usually  means  l)ox  sales  at  least.  She  shouhi  1k^ 
treated  as  to  make  her  want  to  return  at  the  next  opportunity 
when  an  article  in  this  line  is  desired. 

It  does  seem  somewhat  singular  that  cigar  store  clerks,  so 
much  hate  to  meet  people  with  a  grudge.  They  cannot  seem  to 
face  them,  but  the  cigar  store  clerk  must  face  them,  and  the  best 
was  to  handle  the  grudge  people,  or  the  people  who  are  always 
down  on  you.  on  your  gorxls.  and  on  everything,  is  to  change  the 
subject.  If  they  say  your  brand  of  cigars,  was  miserable,  direct 
his  attention  to  another  one  in  a  tactful  way.  or  talk  about  some 
fresh  shipment  of  a  new  line  of  goods  which  you  will  probably 
have.  Rather  jacole  him  into  thinking  that  he  is  a  good  ju<lge 
of  (juality  and  if  you  can  do  that  you  are  certainly  smarter  and 
more  courageous  than  the  person  with  a  grudge. 

Wc  cannot  dwell  too  strongly  upon  the  importance  of  being 
honest  with  your  customers.  It  isn't  at  all  smart  to  misrepresent 
anything,  in  fact  it  isn't  even  smart  to  be  able  to  talk  it.  and  it 
certainly  pays  to  be  honest  with  your  customers.  It  pays  not 
only  because  of  the  greater  moral  satisfaction,  but  because  of 
the  greater  financial  benefit.  Ultimately  if  a  customer  finds 
that  an  article  that  he  has  bought  was  just  exactly  as  repre- 
sented, you  have  very  likely  won  him.  Such  a  sale  will  have 
been  ma«le  purely  on  its  merit.  The  credit  is  due  you  and  will 
undoubtedly  come  to  you.  but  don't,  on  your  life,  describe  a 
cigar  (»r  anv  other  article  as  delicious,  if  you  know  that  it  is 
seedv  and  rank. 


Four  Kinds  of  Salesmen — Which  is  You? 

Four  men  known  lo  the  wriler  present  a  very  inlereslmg 
study  in  salesmanship.  They  are  employed  in  the  same  estab- 
lishment ami  all  were  good  workers,  but  the  results  of  their 
work  otler  a  curiums  study  which  will  be  lor  the  binetit  of  the 
retailers  in  general,  i'or  the  sake  oi  brevity  we  will  refer  to 
I  Ik  in  by  number. 

Number  i  si»M  goods,  but  for  some  reason  a  greater  pro- 
|)ortion  of  the  articles  sold  by  him  came  back  to  the  store  lri»m 
dissatisfied  customers.  1  he  proprietor  wa^  a  careful  buyer  and 
hantUed  only  standard  articles.  Ihis  particular  clerk  wa>  \x)[>- 
ular  and  he  urged  purchases  with  great  celerity.  His  weak 
jH»int  seemed  to  be  his  assuring  almo>t  every  customer  tlial 
the  go<MLs  might  be  returned  ami  m«»ney  refunded  if  found  un- 
satisfact«»ry.  1  am  inclinetl  to  think  that  many  g«MMU  were  al- 
lowed to  he  about  the  house  unused  until  the  purchaser  iltx'ided 
to  return  them  and  collect  his  nu>ney. 

This  salesman  was  a  little  t«n)  urgent. 
Number  2  was  not  at  all  jn^pular  and  on  several  occasions 
refused  to  accept  goods  brought  back  to  the  store.  He  (|uar- 
reled  with  customers  and  really  drove  some  away  in  anger. 
Still,  he  soUl  gooils  in  goinl  (juantities  aiul  gave  g«>o<l  value  to 
the  customers  for  their  money.  He  criticiseil  the  propriett»r 
t»»  his  face,  in  no  very  friendly  way.  hraggetl  incessently  of  his 
own  abilities,  but  managed  to  hold  a  certain  line  of  small  trade. 
He  slashed  prices  fearfully  at  times.  His  ilisjx)sition  toward 
his  trade  was  constantly  showing  a  sneering  relereiice  to  them 
behiiul  their  backs,  lie  really  earned  his  salary,  but  came  to 
be  regarded  as  a  dangerous  proposition  to  be  in  touch  with. 

Salesman  Number  3  secured  more  cash  trade  tlian  the 
other  two  put  together,  lie  was  a  good  plain  worker,  told  his 
customers  the  truth,  made  no  promises  which  he  could  not 
keep,  showed  goo<ls  wherever  he  had  a  chance,  but  was  tactful 
in  not  urging  them  too  strongly  to  buy.  He  seemed  to  be  an 
iileal  clerk,  but  for  some  reason  he  secured  no  new  customers. 
The  tratle  was  pretty  well  divided  in  this  particular  town  by 
competition,  and  it  might  have  been  no  fault  of  this  salesman 
that  regular  orders  did  not  come  through  his  efforts.  He 
seemed  to  lack  magnetism,  which  is  the  gift  of  the  gods  to  any 
man. 

Salesman  No.  4  seeme<l  to  have  conceived  the  idea  that 
his  business  was  to  make  more  and  more  friends  for  the  store ; 
he  knew  the  stock,  obtained  regular  prices,  ignored  his  own 
claims  to  consideration  and,  in  a  word,  was  for  *'the  house." 
He  brought  to  the  store  people  who  never  referred  to  his  invi- 
tation, and  he  probably  never  obtained  credit  for  so  doing.  He 
often  looked  slouchy,  which  is  a  crime  in  any  salesman,  but  he 
worked  for  his  employers  as  if  he,  instead  of  they,  was  the 
proprietor.  So  far  as  his  sphere  went,  he  made  the  store  \H)p- 
ular  and  by  .some  unexplained  methml  he  seemed  to  impress  on 
his  customers  that  the  cash  must  be  paid  when  the  goods  were 
delivered. 

Seeing  them  all  at  work  together  on  a  busy  afternoon  a 
stranger  would  have  found  it  difficult  in  choosing  among  them. 
Their  routine  work  was  alx)ve  par.  a  fact  for  which  the  pro- 
prietor is  to  be  credited.  The  individual  work  of  each,  how- 
ever, they  are  as  stated.  A  tabulated  statement  of  probable 
sales  to  each  would  be  mighty  interesting  reading,  but  it  has 
not  been  made  yet. 


Gallatin,  Tenii.,  is  l.n.king  forward  to  having  in  the  near 
future  a  tobacco  plant  which  will  liatulle  annually  at  least 
$1,000,000  worth  of  tobacco.  The  pro|K»sed  plant  will  afford  a 
home  market  for  both  dark  an<l  hurley  tobacco  and  will  mean 
thousands  of  dollars  annually  to  the  jH-ople  of  Gallatin.  Local 
parties  have  an  option  on  four  acres  of  ground,  upon  which 
the  erection  of  the  warehouses  will  sht»rtly  Iw  ctunmenced,  at  a 
cost  of  $25,000.

The  Paris  Flood  Disaster. 

If  the  upper  waters  of  the  Kiver  Seme  have  cherished  an- 
imosity against  mankind  in  general  they  could  not  have  vented 
it  more  etiectuallv  than  by  inundating  the  City  <»f  Tans,  llus 
fair  metro|M»lis  i>'the  jkI  of  the  world,  the  ultimate  destination 
of  every  intellKent  .student  <.f  the  pr.»j^ress  of  man.  M  every 
step  one  encounters  some  indicati<.n  of  the  triuini»h  of  intellect. 
In  short.  Paris  is  a  pantheon  of  man's  noblest  achievement  in 
literature,  sculpture,  nmsic.  art.  in  its  broa.lest  sense,  and  of 
all  thln^:s  else  that  |)urveys  to  human  enj..yment.  I'or  such  a 
eity  to  become  the  si^.il  of  a  pitiless  HiKKl  is  a  calamity  so  dire 
as  to  defy  verbal  description. 

In  the  Inited  States  universal  s.»rrow  and  anjjuish  must 
be  felt  that  the  pillars  (d  Paris  arc  bein^'  liMuiticd  by  the  tor- 
rents of  the  Seine.  Added  to  it  all  conies  the  recollection  of 
what  Irance  did  in  1776  for  the  .\merican  Republic.

Cigar  Packages  to  Be  Unchanged. 

Western  Railroad  ClaMificalion  Committee  Make*  Conceuion  to 

Shippcr>> 

r  a  meeting  of  the  Western  Classiticati.>n  Committee 
<.n  kailn.a.ls  at  San  .\ntonio,  Texas,  last  week,  it  was 
decide<l  to  permit  cigar  manufacturers  to  retain  the 
style  of  packages  heretofore  use<l  in  shipping  cigars 
to  the  Par  West.  The  manufacturers  will  be  jH-nnitte.l  to  use 
llu-  tin  seal,  as  usual.  Iiesi<les  this  they  will  also  be  allowed  to 
use  another  kind  of  package  if  they  so  desire. 

This  decision  is  a  sweeping  victory  for  the  cigar  manufac- 
turers aiiil  will  be  hailed  with  delight  everywhere. 

New  York  Tobacco  Growers  Dissatisfied. 
The  recent  meeting  of  the  New  York  State  Tobacco  Grow- 
ers' .Xss.K-iation,  held  at  Paldwin^ville,  developed  an  uui^tis- 
faclorv  feeling  on  the  part  of  the  growers  in  the  Syracuse  sec- 
tion, some  gn.wers  contending  that  the  present  prices  offered 
are  lower  than  the  cost  of  pr.Mlucticjn.  Burt  Giddings,  secre- 
tary of  the  association,  is  (juoted  as  saying  that  there  is  httle 
eiu'ouragement  to  grow  the  wee.l  at  7,  8  and  9  cents.  Only  two 
warehouses  are  being  operated  at  liaMwinsville  this  winter. 

Ihe  meth.Kls  «»f  producing  tobacco  have  been  improved  in 
that  .sccti..n  bv  the  presence  of  Geo.  11.  Harris,  representing  the 
r.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture.  His  work  has  been  conhned 
to  soil  analysis,  fertilizers  and  varieties  of  leaves. 

Marke.l  im|)nivement  has  been  noted  since  the  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  began  to  rentier  assistance. 

In  the  talks  made  by  different  members,  the  favoring  of 
and  specializing  one  particular  piece  of  ground  on  a  fann  for 
the  exclusive  culture  of  tobacco  was  generally  tabo(K-d  and 
the  rotation  of  crops  advocate<l.  That  toUicco  was  a  profitable 
crop  tii  raise  was  fullv  .lemonstrated  by  several,  although  they 
frankly  a.lmitted  that  they  are  not  getting  the  prices  for  the 
leaf  at  present  that  they  ought  to  get. 

In  years  past  the  farmer  of  Onondaga  and  the  surround- 
ing counties  has  put  forth  every  effort  to  produce  a  wrapper 
crop  and  in  S(.  doing  he  has  vastly  erred,  for  the  soil  is  not 
naturallv  adapte.i  t.)  the  pro<luction  of  this  class  of  leaf.     In 
doing  this  the  grower  ran  away  entirely  from  Uie  uniformity 
of  tobacc<»  and  while  there  was.  under  these  conditions,  some 
bumi>er  crops  harvested,  there  were  tcx>  many  "tail  enders." 
During  the  last  three  vears  the  raising  of  filler  croi>s  has  been 
stn.ngly  adv.K'ate.l  bv  the  department's  crop  technologist  and 
also  by  manv  of  the  largest,  the  most  experienced  an<l  success-

Havana,  January  J^iul. 
>INKSS  (lurinii  the  past  fortniijht  has  picked  up  cun- 
>t<lerably,  an«l  tlic  volume  of  transactions  shows  that 
m.inuiaiturers  ami  dealers  from  the  United  States 
an-  eaj;er  in  securing  all  the  good  vegas  which  arc 
>lill  t.hianiahle  m  t»ur  market.  J 'rices  liave  not  shown  any 
variatii»n  WMith  menti(jning,  as  our  packers  and  dealers  have 
c«»ntnni(d  to  satisfy  our  friends  fnjin  the  North  by  accepting 
all  oilers  \Nl)ich  were  within  reas<jn,  and  rather  than  carry  over 
last  year's  stocks  they  were  willing  to  make  further  sacrifices 
in  meeting  the  views  of  the  buyers. 

\  uelta  Abajo  is  still  plentiful  in  our  market  and  go<)d 
factory  vtga^  can  be  had  upMi  advaJitagctuis  terms,  while  the 
heavier  styles  which  are  used  for  mixing  purix)ses  are  Ixxom- 
ing  scarcer.  Semi- \  uelta  of  light  styles  have  nearly  disap- 
prared.  and  the  sui)j)ly  of  heavier,  gocnl-sized  classes  is  neither 
abundant,  although  the  shorter  grades  can  still  be  had,  which 
It  seems,  however,  the  N«jrthern  buyers  are  not  particularly 
anxious  to  acquire. 

Parlidos  Scarce — Demand  Strong 

Partido  is  the  scarcest  article,  and  particularly  giKxl  wrap- 
|)ers  which  cveryUxly  seems  to  be  hntking  for.  Kemedios  is 
beginning  to  decrease  in  ipiantity  and  while  the  sticks  of  first 
and  second  capadtira*;  have  not  yet  been  exhausted,  they  con- 
sist now  <»f  prime  good*-  which  are  lieM  very  firmly  at  higher 
figures  by  >tiong  lionsi-v,  or  oi  the  inferior  growths  ami  lighter 
111  body,  which  are  cheaper  in  price,  but  \u>l  so  profitable  to 
work  for  the  Norllurn  cigar  manufacturer>.  It  is  claimed  that 
there  are  now  less  tlian  i5.<mx)  bales  of  firsts  ami  5.(xx)  bales 
«»f  seconds  (of  both  kin<ls)  for  sale  in  first  hands.  Third  cai>- 
aduras  of  heavy  lit)dy  have  also  about  disapi)eared.  while  there 
''till  remain  some  light  styles  and  mancha<los.  ihe  outlook 
for  the  cctining  crop  is  doubtful  yet.  and  it  will  <lei)end  uj)on 
some  rainfalls  in  all  the  toh.icco  districts  whether  the  croj) 
this  Near  will  Ik*  larger.  January  is  always  the  most  critical 
month  fi»r  the  |»lanter,  ami  as  we  are  in  the  dry  season,  usually 
m»  rain  can  hv  <Kj)ended  ui)on.  altlmugh  one  or  two  showers 
are  necessary  for  the  growing  tobacco  in  the  tieMs.  ( )nly  a 
trifle  has  been  cut  so  far.  ainl  while  more  will  be  cut  this 
month,  the  bulk  of  the  crop  cannot  be  ripe  before  the  month 
of  {•fbruarv  this  year,  owing  to  the  late  planting  this  season. 
All  the  former  predictions  alntut  a  large  and  g«H)d  crop  are 
mere  guess  work,  they  may  come  true,  and  they  may  prove  to 
have  been  fallaci«nis.

Havana  cigar  manufacturers  are  only  working  moderately, 
as  orders  have  not  begun  to  arrive  in  sufficient  v<dume  to  keep 
the  majority  of  cnir  factories  busy.  The  largest  factories  seem 
to  be  the  most  favored  ones,  while  the  smaller  ones  have  a 
right  U)  comjdain  al>out  dull  times  and  are  only  living  in  hopes 
that  their  turn  may  come  later  on  this  year. 

Exports  last  year  from  January   ist  to 

DecemlHT  31st  were   181,294,502  cigars. 

while  during  the  .same  period  in   1908  we 

exported    i88.84r>,784  cigars. 

thus  showing  a  decrease  during    the    last 

twelve  months  of 7,552,282  cigars.

Tampa.  January  -7th. 

HIPMENTS  of  cigars  from  Tami)a  are  indicative  of  a 
prosperous  era.      It  is  hoped  that  the  total  «»f  these 
shipments   during  the   month  of   January   will   reach 
the  2().(XX),ooo  mark,  an  increase  of  several  millions 
over  the  same  |KTio<l  of  last  year. 

Considerable  leaf  tobacco  has  been  withdrawn  from  the 
bonded  warehouses,  showing  that  the  manufacturers  are  con- 
suming raw  material  at  a  rapid  rate.  This  is  but  another  con- 
clusive cviilence  of  a  prosperous  outlook  iov  the  maiuUactur- 
ers  here. 

John  H  Roltz.  of  the  well-known  cigar  manufacturing 
firm  of  Holtz.  Clvmer  &  Co..  of  Philadelphia,  and  who  was  ac- 
companied bv  his  son  ui)on  a  recent  visit  to  this  city,  ma.le  ar- 
rangements for  the  opening  of  a  factory  here  to  make  clear 
Havana  go<Hls.  Pending  the  completion  of  an  immense  new 
factory  building  which  has  been  contracted  for.  operations 
have  begun  in  tem|)orary  quarters. 

It  is  announced  that  although  traveling  salesmen  were  a 
little  later  than  usual  in  leaving  for  their  accustomed  territories. 
the  orders  are  now  beginning  to  arrive  in  goo«lly  numbers  while 
mail  orders  are  also  coming  in  with  more  tlian  g«>o<l  fi»rce.  In 
fact  the  field  looks  so  encouraging  at  the  present  time  th.it 
many  of  the  manufacturers  expect  to  arrange  shortly  for  (oper- 
ations on  a  larger  scale. 

The  Panama  Canal  celebration,  which  is  to  take  place  in 
Tampa  on  Februarv  12-26.  lOio,  to  commemorate  the  pn.gress 
of  work  on  the  great  canal  across  the  Isthmus  of  Panama,  is 
expected  to  boom  Tampa  interests  and  an  invitation  has  U^en 
extended  to  President  Taft  to  participate  in  the  celebration. 
Shoul.l  this  invitati.Mi  be  accepte.l  it  will  undoubtedly  bring  a 
tremendous  influx  of  |Hn.ple  to  this  city  during  the  celebration 
period  an<l  may  prove  of  great  benefit  to  our  local  merchants. 

Harrv  X.  C.oMsmith.  who  is  ccmnected  with  the  VA  Pro-

Provedo  factorv,  was  a  recent  visitor  to  the  Tami)a  factory. 
It  was  reallv  his  first  time  since  the  factory  was  removed  to 
Tampa  from  Jacksonville,  and  he  declared  himself  as  highly 
pleased  with  the  new  factory.  He  also  reporte<l  that  business 
was  steadily  increasing  both  at  the  factory  and  with  the  I  hila- 
delphia  branch. 

Jose  Lovera.  of  the  Jose  Lovera  Company,  has  jnst  re- 
lumed to  Tampa  after  a  few  weeks'  visit  to  the  New  \ork 
office  headquarters.  Factory  operations  have  been  going  on 
with  full  hands  ever  since  the  holidays  and  some  heavy  ship- 
ments were  made  during  the  past  month. 

Jerome  Regensburg.  of  E.  Regensburg  &  Srms.  has  re- 
turned to  Tampa  after  a  short  visit  in  New  York.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  the  firm  will  take  possession  of  their  new  factory 
about  April  ist. 

Corral,  Wodiska  &  Co.  have  secured  the  services  of  Wil-

Increase  in  Tobacco  Exports  and  Imports. 

Idlest  Slatulics  Show  Growth  in  Spile  of  Falling  Off  in  Other 

Product*. 

\  an  interesting  statistical  resume  issue«l  by  the  Bureau 
of  Statistics  oi  the  Department  of  Commerce  and 
Lab<»r.  the  exin.rtations  of  leaf  tohacco  fn>m  the 
I  niled  States  «luring  the  month  of  December,  1909, 
are  placeil  at  $vocxj.(Jou,  as  against  e.xjx.rts  of  <^2.JiK),Ouu  inr 
the  same  month  in  the  year  ic/3«.  The  total  exiM.rts  of  leaf  to- 
bacco f<.r  the  year  njLnj  are  given  at  I?3().7oo,o.x>,  as  against 
$^j,5<x>,oot)  for  the  year  1(/jK. 

These  .statistics  are  doubly  interesting  when  it  is 
known  that  in  nearly  every  industry,  exiH,rtati..ns  have  fallen 
far  below  the  l</>H  record. 

In»m  75  to  «o  iK:r  cent,  of  the  exjn.rts  of  cigars,  cigarettes 
and  plug  tobacco  are  shipped  abr.»a«l   fr.mi  the  i>ort  of   New 

^ork. 

lorty  per  cnit.  of  the  exix.rts  of  .\merican  cigarettes  have 
gone  to  China  and  50  jxr  cent,  to  the  I'.ritish  East  Indies. 
Australia  has  taken  one-third  of  American  e.xports  of  plug 
tobacc«»  and  ( ,reat  P.rilain  Jo  \h.t  cent. 

W  bile  there  has  U-en  a  falling  otT  in  ex|K»rts  of  tobacco 
manufacturers,  the  last  half  ..f  i<W  >h..we<l  a  revival  of  this 
business,  the  totals  lor  the  calen.lar  year  1909  amounting  to 
$5.200, Jm..  with  prospect  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30 
next  breaking  all  records. 

America  also  <lraws  big  supplies  of  tobacco,  cigars  and 
cigarettes  from  foreign  countries,  55  per  cent,  of  the  imported 
leaf  tobacco  and  70  per  cent,  of  the  imp<»rted  cigars  and 
cigarettes  c«»ming  to  the  New  York  jMjrt. 

Turning  to  the  imin.rts  for  1909  the  statistics  of  the 
r.ureau  show  that  the  iinportation>  .»f  leaf  tobacco  during  De 
ceinber.  Uf^^,  were  $i.8(xj.cxkj;  during  the  same  month  in  1909 
5?^  400,000,  or  an  increase  of  $<ioo.cxx>.  The  total  imiKjrts  for 
the  vear  i<ji*f  were  <;j5.t>w,(xx),  as  against  $240^.0^  ^o^  ^^"^ 
vear  i«^jS.  slu.wing  an  increase  for  the  year  in  leaf  tobacco  of 

$  1 ,400,000. 

Over  (»5  per  cent.  i»f  the  imi)orted  tobacco  now  comes 
from  Cuba,  and  these  imiH>rtations  increased  8.500,000  jxjunds 
in  ujiy^j,  while  imiH^rts  of  leaf  tobacco  from  most  of  the  other 

countries  fell  <dY. 

In  cigars  and  cigarettes  the  approximate  imi)ortations  tor 
the  month  of  December,  u^y^j,  are  placed  at  $400,000  each, 
while  the  t.aal  imiH.rts  for  the  year  i«>>8  of  cigars  and  cigar- 
ettes are  S3.  V>^MJ^»<'.  a^  against  Js4,0(X),ooo  for  1909. 

\l)out  «>8  per  cent,  .►f  the  imiM.rted  cigars  and  cigarettes 
come-  from  Cuba.  1  he  decrease,  in  the  face  of  the  increasing 
consmnption,  is  ilue  to  the  development  of  the  business  of 
manufacturing  in  America  cigars  from  Cuban  tobacco.

Lancaster  Factories  Busy. 

Lancaster,   Pa.,  January   jSth. 
HE  trade  generally  in  this  cit\  is  in  a  g.HMl  hum»>r.  lUis- 
incss  appears  to  have  opene«l  rather  briskly  ami  they 
naturallv    feel  encouraged.      It  has  been  noticetl  that 
many  oi  the  maiiulacturers  arc  increasing  their  force 
which  is  indeed  an  indicatii»n  of  heallhlul  ci»iuhtion>. 

The  new  owners  of  the  Imperial  Cigar  L«'inpan>  have 
taken  po>^e>sion  of  a  building  on  West  Chestnut  street,  for- 
nierlv  inrcupied  by  the  J.  L.  .Met/ger  Leaf  Tobacco  Ci.mpany. 
and  business  is  commencing  with  ihein  m  gi»od  shape  since  their 
purchase  of  it.  The  Melzger  people  have  secured  another 
building,  also  on  Chestnui  street,  near  Market,  and  are  now 
very  comfortably  domiciled  in  it. 

After  some  hurried  repairs  made  to  the  buiUling  occupie<l 
by  /iegler  liros.,  on  Market  street,  operations  have  been  re- 
sumed m  their  manulaclunng  department.  The\  lunl  sus- 
tained a  rather  severe  damage  by  a  hre  which  occnrrol  in 
the  Kindig  ilousc  stables,  adjoining  their  premises.  I  he 
losses,  it  is  stated,  have  been  adjusted. 

Isaac  Stirk,  a  factory  leaf  tobacco  dealer,  of  this  city, 
lately  retired  from  business,  left  a  short  lime  ago  ui^.n  a  pro- 
l.>iiged  trip  to  Llorida.  Mr.  Stirk  is  probably  one  of  the  most 
widely  known  men  in  the  leaf  tobacco  trade  here,  and  his  many 
friends  are  wishing  him  much  benetit  from  the  trip. 

During  the  pa.st  week  operations  were  commeiiceil  at  the 
New  Kinix>rl-s  lacl<iry,  at  Litilz,  ami  which  it  is  expected  will 
become  one  of  the   largest    factories   in  this  progressive   little 

town. 

Geo.  M.  W'echler,  an  enterprising  cigar  Ik>x  manufacturer 
at  Akron,  accompanied  b>  C.  L.  Kleiner,  of  The  Krull  Cigar 
Company,  of  the  same  i)lace,  were  interested  visitors  at  the  .\u- 
tomobile  Show,  in  Philadelphia,  recently.  The  cigar  trade  at 
Akron  is  said  to  be  slightly  improving,  and  that  aU.ul  every 
cigarmaker  there  is  employed. 

Mr.  S.  N.  Wolf,  of  the  cigar  manufacturing  firm  of  Wolf 
&  Hackman,  is  away  on  a  three  weeks'  trip  to  the  W  esi.  NNliere 
they  have  a  large  patronage. 

Mr.  A.  J.  liinsey,  manufacturer  of  tobacco  an.l  cigars, 
has  beeli  traveling  through  the  coal  regions  in  iVniisylvama 

ottering  his  product 

We  observe  that  a  goodly  number  of  factories  throughout 
the  country  are  advertising  for  more  hands,  and  that  nearly  all 
uf  them  are  working  on  full  time. 

John  McLaughlin  &  Co.,  of  this  city,  who  have  the  dis- 
tributing agency  of  tlie  "Counsellor"  cigar,  made  by  Allen  K. 
Cressman's  Sons,  Philadeli.hia,  have  been  (h.ing  some  g.nnl 
work  on  that  brand  in  this  section.  They  .say  that  they  are 
having  duplicate  orders  coming  in  encouragingly  fast,  and  are 
satisfied  that  the  line  will  have  a  large  and  permanent  trade. 

( )uite  a  number  of  salesmen  have  recently  been  visiting 
Lancaster.  Among  tlu-ni  were  Charlie  Horwitz,  with  John  H. 
Coetze  Co..  of  New' York ;  I.  N.  Jacoby,  with  Meyer  &  Men- 
delsohn, of  New  York;  Tom  Wheeler,  now  with  d.  I'alk  &

Mr.  Miller  on  the  Kentucky  Situation. 

H.  1).  Miller,  of  Lrisbmutb  r.rotbers  &  Company,  tobacco 
manul'aclurers.  returned  to  rbiladeli)bia  January  23rd,  after  an 
extended  trij)  tbronj^b  the  Ohio  and  Kentucky  tobacco  rejjions. 
In  his  itinerarv.  Mr.  Miller  visited  Cincinnati.  Louisville,  Lex- 
inj,non  and  other  large  <listributinK  points,  closely  studying  the 
tobacco  situation  and  making  ]Mircbases  where  possible. 

In  an  interview  witb  TiiK  Ton.xcco  World.  Mr.  Miller 
stated  tbat  be  foun<l  prices  on  medium  grade  tobacco  consider- 
ablv  higher  than  last  year,  while  the  best  grades  shf)wed  little, 
if  any,  advance. 

(  hiestioned  in  regard  to  the  possibility  of  Tli<»mas  Law- 
son  gaining  control  of  the  Burley  output.  Mr.  Miller  exi^resscd 
biiiiself  as  very  skeptical,  stating  tbat  he  believed  that  Law- 
son's  original  intention,  in  going  to  Kentucky,  was  to  purchase 
a  tborougbbred  horse,  and  once  in  the  field  be  sprung  the  peo- 
ple's Trust  scheme  in  order  to  divert  attention  from  his  real 
(.bject  and  secure  some  much-pri/ed  iniblicity.  The  people  of 
Kentucky.  Mr.  Miller  added,  do  not  take  Lawson  seriously. 

Philadelphia  Factories  Busy. 

Tbe  consensus  of  reports  among  tbe  manufacturers  of 
Philadelphia  is  that  IQIO  prospects  are  really  tbe  brightest  in 
three  years.  More  substantial  orders  seem  to  have  been  thus 
far  booked  than  were  expected,  and  as  a  result  all  factories  are 
emploving  a  full  complement  of  bands,  not  only  at  tbeir  main 
factories  in  tbis  city,  but  in  tbcir  several  branch  factories 
throughout  tbe  First  District. 

E.  ^T.  Schwarz  &'  Co..  of  New  York,  are  working  tbeir

Company,  is  expected  home  at  any  time,  haying  made  a  flying 
visit  to  Havana  to  look  after  tbe  firm  interests  there.  This

factory  to  su[)ply  tbe  present  demand  for  some  of  tbeir  goods. 
The  recent  introduction  of  their  "Fl  Teano"  brand  brought  in 
an  avalanche  of  orders.  This  cigar  is  made  up  only  in  a  two-

Bailey  Buys  Chandler  Corner. 

W.  II.  liailey,  f(>r  a  number  of  years  engaged  in  the  cigar 
and  tobacco  l)U>iness  at  Twelfth  and  MitHin  streets,  first  as  a 
manufacturer  and  later  as  a  dealer  an<l  jobber  in  cigars,  to- 
bacco, etc.,  last  week  bought  at  auction  tbe  fixtures  of  tbe  store 
until  recently  occupied  by  tbe  W  111.  S.  Cbandler  Co.,  at  Sec- 
ond and  Arch  streets. 

Possession  will  be  taken  as  soon  as  the  premises  can  be 
thoroughly  renovated,  and  he  expects  to  do  both  a  retail  and 
jobbing  business.  A  portion  of  the  store  room,  which  is  (luite  a 
large  one.  we  are  infomied.  will  be  occupieil  by  "Jack  Fowler," 
general  selling  agent  for  the  United  States  Tobacco  Co.,  now  at 

229  Arch  street. 

This  building  has  been  idle  for  several  weeks,  or  since 
Win.  S.  Chandler  Co..  sold  out  their  principle  stock  to  Frings 
P.ros.  Co.,  the  well-known  West  Pliiladeli)bia  wholesalers. 
W  bile  several  cigar  men  bave  been  prospecting  for  this  build- 
ing, the  rental  asked  seems  to  have  been  a  little  too  high  to 
suit  their  ideas,  but  the  present  combination  of  tenants  can 
no  doubt  utilize  all  tbe  si>ace  at  a  reasonable  cost  to  each.

Trade  Visitors. 
A.  B.  IIcss.  president  of  tbc  A.  B.  Hess  Cigar  Company, 
at  Lancaster,  accompanied  by  William  F.  Cressman.  a  salesman 
of  the  house,  has  been  vi<^iting  tbe  tra.le  in  this  citv.  Several 
attractive  new  lines  were  being  ofTcrerl  by  them  which  met  with 
rather  a  liberal  response  in  the  way  of  good  orders  fr.MU  Phila- 
delphia houses. 

S.  Katz.  of  the  Pennsylvania  Cigar  Company,  at  York, 
stopped  in  Pbiladelpbia  a  few  days  last  week  en  route  to  New

never  before  any  brighter. 

Among  the  recent  visitors  in  the  tobacco  trade  here  we

I'lin.ADI  I  I'lll  A. 

The  H  IT  Sheip  MamifactiiriiiK  roiiipany  of  !'hila«lel- 
,,hia  one  of  the  lar^'e^t  hox  manufacturing^  e^tahh^hnient^  ui 
tlie  countrv.  report^  that  they  are  well  sati^^f.e.l  with  the.r  jan- 
t,arv  hu^iness.  Tn  faet.  it  wa«;  state<l  that  they  never  had 
,„.,re  husiness  in  all  their  ilepartnients  at  this  tune  of  the  year. 
It  has  not  hecn  neres^^arv  to  re^^rt  to  ni^ht  work,  of  course, 
hut  they  con.ifler  it  rather  forttuiate  that  they  were  enahled  to 
maintain  regular  f..rce^  on  uMial  time  during  what  is  usually  a 
dull  time  with  box  manufacttircrs. 

Sheip  .<l-  Van.le^'Hft.  Inc..  of  Philadelphia,  announce  that 
the  recent  iuMallatiou  of  new  and  improved  machinery  was 
very  advantageous  to  them  dtiring  Jaiuiary,  when  a  more  than 
UMiallv  large  husine^^s  was  done  for  the  time  of  the  year.  Not- 
withstanding the  neces«;arv  increase  in  the  price*;  of  wood,  thev 
have  fomid  little  concern  about  prices,  hut  rather  it  seemed 
that  the  trade  wanted  the  he'^t  production  of  work  that  could  be 
gotten  and  were  willing  to  pay  the  proper  price  for  it. 

ClNriNNATI. 

A  survev  of  the  field  in  Cincinnati  shows  that  box  makers 
there  have  been  busv  ever  since  the  Christmas  holidays,  and 
that  there  had  been  a  lull  for  only  a  few  days  during  that  pe- 
riod. It  is  expected  that  box  manufacturers  will  soon  find  it 
nece'isary  to  replenish  their  lumber  stock,  and  with  the  steady 
advances  now  in  prices  it  seems  to  be  a  question  as  to  whether 
1)ox  makers  will  face  the  loss  or  will  find  it  compulsory  to  ask 
an  advance  in  the  price  of  boxes.  Reports  which  box  makers 
have  received  from  cigar  manufacturers  are  encouraging  as  to 
the  prospect  of  business  which  may  be  expected. 

The  well  known  cigar  box  establishment  of  Samuel  W. 
Tro^t  Co..  at  Cincinnati,  and  one  of  the  largest  box  factories 
in  that  part  of  the  countrv.  informs  Tnr.  Wortd  that  business 
has  been  large  with  them  for  the  past  four  weeks,  and  that  the 
outlook  for  a  continuance  of  a  fme  run  of  business  is  very  good. 
Mr.  Trost  prerlicts  that  toto  will  be  a  big  business  year.  Con- 
cerning the  prices,  however.  "Mr.  Trost  said  rather  regretfully 
that  thev  were  not  being  verv  well  maintained  and  that  some- 
r.ne  seemed  to  be  cutting  rather  heavily.  He  admitted  that 
ce<lar  was  up  and  had  actuallv  been  advancing  during  the  past 
few  weeks  and  expected  that  there  would  be  still  further  ad- 
vance. Tie  even  went  so  far  as  to  say  that  it  was  not  onlv 
confined  to  cedar,  but  that  cigar  box  lumber  showed  a  tendency 
to  advance  in  prices. 

.Aman  I'l-  Sandman,  who  are  among  the  vounger  but  verv 
progressive  concerns  in  the  box  industry  at  Cincinnati,  renort 
that  thev  have  lots  of  work  on  hand  and  have  been  exception- 
allv  busv  ever  since  the  new  year  set  in.  Tbey  say  that  cigar 
1mix  lumber  is  usually  bought  by  the  cigar  box  manufacturers 


ab.mt  IVbruarv  1st.  aiul  that  a  (|uantity  of  supply  is  taken  in 
which  usuallv' lasts  them  several  month>.  They  expect  that 
this  year  the  stock  on  baud  bv  box  manufacturers  will  be  pretty  . 
well' run  down  hv  the  first  of  i-ebruary.  and  being  interested 
i„  the  lumber  iiwlustrv  as  well  as  in  box  making,  they  expect  to 
lav  in  an  active  amount  of  cigar  Ih.x  lumber.  1  hey  had  no 
„,;ted  anv  advance  in  the  prices  of  ce.lar  t.>  box  makers,  but 
state.l  that  it  was  certainly  scarcer  and  conse(|uently  higher. 

Mr  Leikauf  of  The  Ceise  Cigar  liox  Co.,  Cincinnati  is 
highlv  encouraged  with  the  results  «»btained  in  January.  He 
^ees  a  continual  business  imi)rovement  ahead  an<l  is  not  at  all 
tK'ssimistic.  .^till  admitting  that  there  is  a  shortage  in  the  sup- 
plv  of  ce.lar  lumber,  he  does  not  think  that  it  is  yet  gone  so  far 
.is'  to  excee.l  a  material  increase  in  the  prices.  Aside  from  ce- 
dar, he  sai<l  cigar  box  lumber  has  remaine<l  about  standar<l  both 
in  (juantity  and  prices. 

Cl.l.VKI.ANP. 

Cleveland  Ix.x  manufacturers  re|X)rt  a  continual  increase  in 
activitv  as  comi.are<l  with  lanuary  of  previous  years.  It  is 
reported  from  there  that  the  price  of  lumber  is  practically  un- 
ch.anged  and  that  thev  have  thus  far  f<.un<l  no  shortage  of  sup- 
plv  :  also  <|uantities  are  firm  in  price,  which  are  well  maintained. 

At  the  Kickerberg  fact<.ry.  which  is  among  the  largest  in 

ClcvelaiKJ.  there  was  considerable  hustle.  It  appears  that  all  of 
the  Cleveland  factories  have  been  about  as  busy  as  usual  and 
all  rather  apparently  getting  a  good  share  of  trade.  The  an- 
nouncements of  a  change  in  price  has  been  for  some  time  ex- 
pected to  come  in  that  city,  but  it  appears  that  l)ox  manufac- 
turers there  are  now  calculating  f.n  ways  and  means  of  main- 
taining old  rates,  at  least  for  a  time  Ic^iger.  They  fully  appre- 
ciate the  fact  that  cigar  manufacturers  were  rather  hard  pressed 
during  the  last  year  or  two  an<l  are  endeavoring  not  to  increase 
tluir  burdens  at  the  present  time. 

Xkw  ^'ork. 
The  Charles  Stutz  Co..  which  is  one  of  the  progressive  l)ox 
manufacturing  establishments  of  this  city,  announce  that  Jan- 
uary was  the  best  month  with  them  they  had  for  S(^me  time.  In 
fact,  business  this  year  has  been  exceedingly  well  with  them. 
Operations  were  somewhat  hindered  by  the  stormy  weather  by 
delaying  mails  and  preventing  salesmen  from  visiting  customers 
in  their  usual  routine,  but  they  are  credited  with  a  numl)er  of 
mail  orders  having  reached  the  houses.  He  stated  that  lum- 
ber was  rather  higher,  but  he  said  there  was  no  reason  to  think 
tl.at  prices  of  boxes  will  raise  at  any  time  yer\'  soon. 

Trade  Casualilics  and  Changes. 

The  box  i>lant  of  the  Pollack  stogie  and  cigar  factory  at 
Cleveland,  a  two-story  building  and  well  equipped,  was  totally 
destroyed  by  fire  recently  which  was  caused  by  an  explosion, 
the  origin  of  which  has  not  yet  been  ascertained. 

The  P.astian  Cigar  P.ox  Co..  at  Cincinnati,  recently  re- 
moved tn  new  <iuarters  at  229,  West  Liberty  street.  They  are 
now  nrospecting  for  some  additional  machinery  which  will  be 
installed  immediately  it  is  procured.

First  shipments  of  the  new  crop  of  tobacco  have  reached 
Nashville,  Tenn.,  consisting  of  fifty  hog>hea.ls.  which  were 
furnished  chiefly  to  the  factories  of  that  city.  Importers  have 
been  somewhat  slow  about  contracting  for  the  crop,  hoping  for 
lower  prices,  which  were  not  there.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Activity  Increasing  In  York. 

York,  i'a.,  January  J8tli. 

r=rHll.:  Kciural  tra.lc  con.liti..ns  in  York  Cuimly  appear 
T  pruiv  g....l,  and  i^  a  notable  contrast  w.tl.  ll.c  .an.c 
bsd  LruU  Ml  la.t  year.  Manufacturer,  are  nearly  all 
a*«  wurkn.i^  with  their  u>ual  force.,  and  home  have  been 
exceptionally    fortunate  in  booking  big  ..rders. 

\'crhap.  not  another  nuuuuacturer  m  the  county  has  made 
,nore  rapid  strides  during  the  pa.t  year  than     1.  i^;>;^»^ 
Nashville.     To  a  Tuhalco   W  oki.u  reix>rter  he  stated,  a   lew 
.kn.  ago,  that  he  could  u.e  many  more  lian<ls  n  he  could  ge 
them,  boh  at  hi.  mam   factory  at  Na.hville  and  the  branch 
-,,,;,,  at  Jacobus.  Mr.  K.hkr  has  .uccesslully  mtruduced  a 
..umber  of  brands  and  all  of  them  are  l-^^'^^^^^;^^ ^ 
.ults      lie  claims  that  he  is  just  preparing  t..  launch  a  new 
o„c  which  has  been  so  carefully  prepared,  both  irom  a  stand- 
"„t  of  <iuahty  and  artistic  ellect  of  the  package,  that  he  feels 
lully  conlulent  of  Imc  result,  from  it.     It  is  noteworthy  that 
.luring  the  past  year  the  demand  for  his  product  has  been  lun- 
,     g  largely  on  the  live  and  ten-cent  variety,  and  he  is  now 
.nakmg  t  .'pecal  exploitation  of  his  -Judge  bhepard     mcke 
cigar,   which   is   strongly    featured   in   various   sections  of   the 
country.     New  I'lngland  and  W  e>tern  btate.  have  proven  very 
lucrative  for  his  line. 

Kapid  progress  is  being  made  at  the  factory  of  Oeorge  V\ . 
rarr,  at  Lutlestown,  and  with  an  elegant  proposition  to  oiler 
the  trade  of  a  clear  Havana  filled  cigar,  under  the  brand  name 
of  1-ernside,  Mr.  I'arr  has  made  ciuite  a  hit.     lie  is  not  only  en- 
iuving  go<.d  trade  of  local  territory,  but  is  being  successfully 
Introduced   in   several  large   distributing  cuiters.     At  presen 
he  IS  laying  special  stress  up<.n  his  'Tar   \  alue,     also  a  hnc 
of  nickel  cigars,  made  up  in  the  more  popular  shapes,  and  at- 
tractively  packed,      lie   report,   that   some   good  orders   have 
already  been  booked  for  the  new  year  and  that  the  factory  is  m 
full  operation. 

The  Dallas  Cigar  Comi)any,  at  Dallastown,  has  lately  m- 
creascd  its  force  of  cigarmakcrs. 

A  force  of  40  hands  arc  now  at  work  at  the  Kimerbrink 
factory  in  York,  and  the  York  City  Cigar  Company  is  plan- 
ning to  open  a  branch  factory  at  W  rightsville.  Ihey  are  so- 
licitous of  securing  one  hundred  hands  at  that  point.  It  is 
stated  that  if  they  lind  that  a  sufUkient  force  of  cigarmakers 
can  be  secured,  they  will  erect  a  factory  for  their  own  pur- 

A  1'  llostetter,  a  prominent  cigar  manutacturer  ot  Han- 
over in  conjunction  with  several  capitalists  of  that  town,  has 
nurcliased  a  plant  of  the  Hanover  Inirniture  Company,  in  the 
west  end  of  that  town,  which  was  sold  by  a  trustee  in  bank- 
ruptcy. 

The  cigar  factory  of  John  C.  Heckert  &  Company  at  Dal- 
lastown has  been  reopened,  after  a  close  down  of  several  weeks. 
It  is  stated  that  the  proprietors  will  endeavor  to  maintain  a 

full  time  schedule. 

\\  A  Lahr,  of  Red  Lion,  and  one  of  the  most  popular 
cigar  manufacturers  in  the  town,  returned  last  week  from  an 
extensive  business  trip  through  the  eastern  part  of  the  State. 
T  F  Hrooks,  of  T.  E.  Brooks  &  Co.,  of  Red  Lion,  has  lately 
visited  New  York  City,  and  secured  orders  for  considerable 
(luantities  of  their  product  for  future  delivery. 

A.  Scott  Frey,  leaf  tobacco  dealer  of  Red  Lion,  has  re- 
turned from  a  trip  to  the  West  and  makes  an  encouraging  re- 
port. Charles  A.  Rost.  of  C.  A.  Rost  &  Co..  has  lately  visited 
the  Connecticut  X'allcv  leaf  markets  and  made  purchases  of 
several  carloads  of  leaf  which  will  be  ofTered  to  the  cigar  man- 
ufacturers of  York  County. 

C.  K.  Miller.  McSherrystown.  Pa.,  manufacturer  of  La

W.  T.  Pomeroy  &  Company,  of  Edgerton,  are  now  distrib- 
uting among  farmers  seeds  of  Comstock  Spanish  variety  of

INTENTIONAL  SECOND  EXPOSURE 


—Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ?= 

No  matter  liow  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  hecks  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 

tobacco  trade. 
Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ?

Protests    Fail    to    Remove    Stamp. 

American  Manufacturers  Appeal  to  Government  to  Stop  Philippine 

Abuses. 

Washington,  Feb.   uih. 

D1  liSriri*'  the  pr«jtc>t>  of  tlic  Cigar  Maiuifacturcrs'  A>- 
sociatitm  of  Aincrica,  backed  by  niinieruus  intluenlial 
Congressmen,  it  is  unlikely  that  the  Bureau  of  ln>ular 
Affairs  will  stop  the  usage  of  the  "standanl  of  qual- 
ity" stamp  which  the  Philippine  Government  is  placing  on  all 
cigars  exported  to  the  United  States. 

A  delegation  of  the  Cigar  Manufacturers'  .\^sociation, 
escorted  by  Congressman  J.  \  an  \  ecliten  Olcolt.  called  on 
Secretary  of  W  ar  Dickinson  on  February  7th  to  make  formal 
protest  against  the  Philippine  stamp.  The  association  was  rep- 
resented by  Jac.  W'ertheim,  of  the  I'nited  Cigar  Mainifacturers' 
Company,  New  York,  President;  A.  M.  Jenkinson,  of  i*itt>- 
burgh,  \  ice- President ;  II.  G.  Wasson,  of  i*iltsburgh,  Secre- 
tary, and  Attorney  Smith,  the  Washington  counsel  of  the 
association,  as  well  as  I.  S.  J'lllison,  of  the  U.  S.  Tobacco 
Journal. 

Si)eaking  for  the  manufacturers,  Mr.  W  ertheim  averred 
that  the  continued  use  and  abuse  of  this  stamp,  wliich  states 
specitically  over  the  name  of  the  Government  that  the  (|uality 
of  the  goods  is  guaranteed  as  being  up  to  the  standard  and 
nunle  under  i)erfectly  cleanly  conditions,  was  working  injury 
to  the  American  man- 
ufacturers because 
some  unprincipled 
merchants  have  been 
using  this  stamp  as  a 
cloak  to  foist  a  cheap 
grade  of  goods  on  the 
public  and  crowd  out 
home-made,  legiti- 
mate goods. 

T  h  e  objections 
which  the  manufac- 
turers raised  could  be 
summarized  as  fol- 
lows: First,  that  the 
appearance  of  the 
stamp  was  mislead- 
ing ;  secondly,  that  the 
wording  of  the  stamp 
was  misleading,  and, 
thirdly,  that  it  stated 
what  was  untnie.  A 
general  protest  was 
also  made  against  the 
right  of  the  Philip- 
pine Government  to 
invent  such  a  stamp  to 
the  detriment  o  f 
American  manufac- 
turers, who,  in  their 
own  State,  were  de- 
nied the  use  of  a  sim- 
ilar endorsement.  It 
was  pointed  out  that 
the  appearance  of  the 
Philippine  Coat  of 
Arms  with  an  eagle  at

l)laui;int  is  Juhn   I',   liair  t»f  New   York,  who  is  rep- 
loenied  by  Attorney  Geo.  S.  Solter. 

1  he  >uit  has  grown  out  of  the  alleged  violation  of  Section 
j^^j/o  of  the  Revised  Statutes  of  the  United  Stato.  which  went 
into  etTect  December  1,  187 J. 

The  .\merican  Conij)any  is  charged  with  placuig  marks  on 
tobacco  cans  aiul  tins  to  the  etYect  that  they  were  "1  licensed 
un<ler  Patent  .\o.  81 J  and  175,  "  when  in  reality  they  were  un- 
patented. 

The  alleged  violation  of  the  law  is  averred  to  liave  taken 
place  on  March  1,  l»>o9,  when  the  .American  C'i>mpany  placed 
tliC  mark  in  (juestion  upon  tobacco  tins  and  cans.  As  a  result 
of  this,  the  plaintilY  said  he  was  injureil  and  claims  to  be  enti- 
tle«l  to  i>30,ooc).  On  another  charge  in  the  same  bill  the  plain- 
titY  claims  an  additional  amount,  which  w«>uld  bring  the  dam- 
ages up  to  Js20,000,000. 

The  attorneys  in  the  case,  when  interviewe<l  by  your  corre- 

rcsjMtndent,  refused 
to  jli^cuss  the  suit, 
stating  that  the  bill 
tiled  e.\i)lains  itself, 
jii^t  how  the  .Ameri- 
can Company  violated 
the  law  and  to  wh.it 
products  these  alleged 
violations  apply  was 
not  made  clear. 

A  search  of  tlu 
New  \'ork  Telephone 
and  City  Directories 
failed  to  reveal  the 
resit lence  or  wherea- 
bouts of  Mr.  Rarr,  the 
complainant.

woul.l  oiler  no  objection,  but   what  they  objected  to  was  that 
the  Government   shouhl   isstie   such  a  certihcate  of  character.

Mr.  Lock  was  l>orn  seventy-three  years  ago  in  (iermany. 
and  came  t.)  Cuba  at  an  early 'age.  He  entered  the  tobacco 
busines>  an.l  in  a  short  time  built  up  a  fortune  and  a  business 
that  e.xten.le.l  principally  to  the  I'nited  States. 

In  1.SS8  he  became  associated  with  \\n\  T.  de  L.  Alvariz 
in  foun.ling  the  firm  of  Henry  Clay  and  Lock  &  C.)..  Lt.l.  1  his 
coneern  was  backe.l  largely  by  liritish  capital,  and  un.ler  the 
guidance  .»f  Mr.  Lock  exi)an.led  rapidly. 

It  was  during  Mr.  L.)ck's  regime  as  managing  (lirector 
that  the  bran.ls  of  La  Carolina,  Lmanuel  Garcia,  La  K.span.)la, 
La  Comercial  an.l  other  well-kn..wn  cigars  reache.l  the  height

c<n'ere(l  a  shabbier  suit  an.l  his  trousers  were  well  fringed  at 
the  shoe  tops. 

Two  j.)bless  act.>rs  walke.l  in  and  he  .juickly  accoste.l  them. 
'*W'ill  y.Mi  gentlemen  join  me  in  a  smoke?"  he  hiccoughed.  They 
sized  him  up  and  answered.  **Certainly.  old  pal."  lie  turne.l 
to  the  .salesman  behin.l  the  counter  and  calle.l  for  three  50-cent 
cigars.  The  salesman  looke.l  him  over,  grinne.l  mockinglv.  an.l 
waited  on  another  customer.  The  actors  hung  an)und  to  see 
what  woul.l  happen. 

The  bibulous  one  waite.l  probably  five  minutes  and  then 
blurted  .Mit.  "WVll.  if  you  won't  give  me  fifty-centers,  give  me 
three  five-centers."  The  salesman  grinned  more  mockingly 
than  before,  reached  back  on  the  shelf  and  pushed  out  a  box 
of  "Owls."  The  bibulous  one  helped  his  two  newly  found 
ac(|uaintances,  place.l  one  between  his  teeth,  and  then  struck 
his  hand  deep  down  in  the  i)ocket  of  his  aforementioned  shabby 
trousers,  and  pulled  out  a  wad  of  yellow  backs,  which  ma.le 
the  salesman  turn  green  with  mvy.  Tie  fumhlingly  peeled  oflF 
a  twenty-dollar  bill,  waited  for  his  change:  took  ten  minutes 
to  count  the  S10.85  returned  him  and  the  last  glimpse  of  him 
vouchsafed  the  manager,  salesman  and  myself  was  that  of  a 
filler  ff)r  a  human  sandwich,  with  the  two  actors  f)laying  the

ably got  what  he  ordered.

You  have  often  heard  of  the  old-time  trick  nf  making 
smoke  c^me  out  of  your  ears  and  eyes,  but  you  have  probably 
never  heard  of  the  stunt  which  T.  W'.  Sergeant,  of  Rochester, 
is  performing  these  days.  Recently,  ^[r.  Sergeant  was  com- 
pelled to  undergo  an  operation  on  his  throat  and  a  tube  was 
inserted  in  his  neck  so  that  .he  could  breathe  through  it.  his 
nose  or  mouth  being  blocked.  W^ith  this  tube,  he  draws  in  his 
breath  through  a  hole  in  his  neck  and  is  going  ab^^ut  the  country 
e.xhibiting  this  won.lerful  act  to  the  various  medical  stii.lents. 
Recently,  in  a  demonstration  at  New  Orleans.  Sergeant  placed 
a  cigarette  in  the  tube  and  proceede.l  to  smoke  tt  with  apparent 
ease  and  delight. 

l^ew  retailers  who  handle  the  old-fashioned  corn  cob  pipe 
are  aware  that  throughout  the  Mi. Idle  West  whole  acres  of 
farm  land  are  devoted  exclusively  to  the  raising  of  cobs  suit- 
able for  pipe  bowls.  The  grain  of  this  corn  is  markete.l.  but 
the  cob  on  which  it  grows  is  the  real  harvest.  These  ends  are 
rounded  smooth  and  polished  and  the  inner  pulp  taken  out  by 
machinery.  The  American  corn  cob  pipe  is  being  exported 
to-day  into  every  country  in  the  w.irld.  being  in  special  favor 
in  .Australia  and  Xew  Zealand,  where  they  are  regarderl  a-j 
characteristically  .\merican  because  they  suggest  the  i.lea  n\ 
Yankee  ingenuity.  Briar  pipes  are  in  fav.>r  with  English 
smokers,  meerschaums  still  hold  favor  with  German  an.l  Aus- 
trian smokers,  but  the  corn  cob  seems  to  have  a  place  near  to 
the  heart  of  the  American  smoker.

THF.  TOBACCO  WORLD. 


THE  ELECTRIC  STERILIZER.      Weight  3000  lbs  ) 


FRANKLIN    S.    SMITH, 
The  Inventor. 


Only  Iwo  laboring  men  are  necessary  to  operate  the  Sterilizer  to  load  the  conveyer  and  keep  it  clear.  Specially  made  vacuum 
tubes  are  in  the  hanging  boxes  on  each  side  of  the  tunnel  through  which  the  conveyer  runs.  The  larger  box  to  the  left  con- 
tains electric  machinery  by  which  the  ordinary  current  is  stepped  up  to  the  high  voltage  necessary  to  kill  germ  life  in  the  eggs. 


I  y^  I  MIVIIK)!)  nf  killing;  the  destructive  "tobaccu  bug." 
|i^  wliicli  causes  a  loss  of  $i,(XX).ooo  a  year  to  the  cigar 
MM^  manufacturer  and  leaf  dealer,  lias  been  found,  and 
IP^Hr^l  jj^^  ^l■^^.n{  pn.hkni  of  the  tobacco  trade,  one  which  the 
United  States  goveninient  has  wrestled  with  for  years  with- 
out success,  it  is  believed  has  been  solved  by  a  young  man  not 
yet  in  his  thirties. 

By  his  process,  not  only  is  the  grown  beetle  destroyed,  but 
the  young  and  the  unhatched  eggs  are  steriliz.ed  without  injury 
to  the  tobacco.  This  apparent  miracle  is  not  performed  by  the 
use  of  chemicals  and  heat,  recommended  by  the  Agricultural 
I)ei)artment.  but  found  to  posse-ss  little  practical  value  by  the 
manufacturers.    The  new  process  is  electrical. 

The  ruinous  bug  and  his  devastating  family  are  almost 
literallv  electrocuted  like  a  criminal  in  the  fatal  chair.  This 
result  is  achieved  by  the  simple  process  of  running  the  tobacco 
through  a  machine.  The  discoverer  of  the  new  ])rocess  is 
i'Vaiiklin  S.  Smith,  of  24  South  American  street,  Philadelphia. 
He  also  is  the  inventor  of  the  machine  which  does  the  work  and 
which  he  calls  the  Electri-Sterilizer.  The  machine  is  covered 
bv  patents  both  in  the  United  States  and  foreign  countries. 

Of  the  insects,  injurious  to  cured  obacco,  none  approach, 
in  economic  imi^ortance,  the  species  known  as  the  "cigarette 
beetle."  Working,  as  it  does  in  all  kinds  of  cured  tobacco  and 
living  in  tobacco  during  all  stages  of  its  existence,  it  damages 
cigarettes  and  cigars  by  boring  out  of  them,  making  round  holes 
in  the  wrappers  so  that  the  "smokes"  will  not  draw.  Leaf 
tftbacco  an<l  fine  cuts  are  also  injured  by  holes  and  by  the  reduc- 
tion of  the  amount  due  to  the  maw  of  the  bug. 

The  beetle  is  found  in  Havana  and  most  of  the  factories 
and  warehouses  of  the  Southern  States.  Observations  upon 
the  life  histor\'  of  the  pest  were  made  some  years  ago  for  the 


United  States  by  Professor  George  F.  Atkinson,  of  the  North 
Carolina  Agricultural  I^.xperimeutal  Station,  and  by  Mr.  Chit- 
tenden, of  the  Division  of  Entomology. 

As  a  result  of  their  experiments,  the  tobacco  men  learned 
that  in  a  warm  room  the  entire  life  round  of  the  insect  from 
egg  to  maturity  took  place  in  47  days,  and  that  the  beetle  is 
increasing  at  a  rapid  rate.  As  a  remedy  the  experts  recom- 
mended fumigation  with  bisulphide  of  carbon  and  cleanliness. 
In  stnall  establishments  this  method  was  comparatively  simple ; 
but  in  large  factories  it  was  not  such  an  easy  matter.  At  the 
same  time,  it  was  recognized  that  it  was  as  much  as  the  reputa- 
tion of  a  factory  was  worth  to  allow  goods  to  go  out  containing 
the  insect  in  any  form. 

When  the  fumigating  process  was  tried  and  found  to 
interfere  with  the  flavor  of  the  tobacco,  the  manufacturer 
turned  to  the  steaming  process  with  like  result.  Although  it 
was  admitted  that  the  fumes  of  bisulphide  of  carbon  would  kill 
the  grown  bug  it  was  fouufl  that  they  did  not  destroy  the  life  in 
the  Qgf^,  which  later  hatched  out  to  continue  the  work  of  destruc- 
tion. 

The  onlv  method  found  to  bring  any  success  whatever  and 
the  one  at  present  used  in  most  large  estal)lishments  is  the  cold 
storage  process.  By  means  of  keeping  the  tobacco,  cigars  and 
cigarettes  in  a  cold  atmosphere  the  eggs  were  held  in  statu 
(juo.  But  even  this  method  was  found  to  be  only  temporary, 
for  as  soon  as  the  cigars  and  cigarettes  were  sold  and  placed  in 
the  warm  showcases  of  the  retail  dealer  the  eggs  hatched  out 
and  ruined  the  manufactured  goods,  wliich  loss  had  to  be  made 
up  by  the  manufacturer. 

The  great  achievement  of  killing  not  only  the  living  bug 
but  also  sterilizing  the  egf^  so  that  it  will  not  hatch  out,  is 
the  claim  of  the  Electri-Sterilizer. 


THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


l^ 


The  machine  consists  of  a  conveyor,  running  through  a 
tunnel  capable  of  handling  tobacco  in  bales  at  the  rate  of  a  bale 
a  minute.  On  both  sides  of  the  tunnel  alxnit  the  middle  of  tlu 
conveyor  are  special  vacuum  tubes  on  the  order  of  Crookc^ 
tubes,  which  emit  a  iH)werful  X-ray,  penetrating  the  bale  with 
out  removing  even  the  plam  leaf  cover. 

The  machine  is  built  to  work  on  a  current  of  any  initial 
velocity  at  hand.  It  may  even  l»e  attached  to  the  <»rdinarv  elec- 
tric light  burner,  the  voltage  being  "steppe*!  up"  through  trans- 
formers to  150,000  Volts  .\.  C  and  then  rectitied  before  passing 
through  the  tubes.  In  this  way  tlie  ordinary  current  i>  madi 
life  de>tn»ying. 

When  once  started  the  machine  i>  automatic  ami  all  that 
i>  necessary  to  run  it  is  twtt  men.  one  at  each  end  of  the  con- 
vey(»r  to  handle  tl.e  bale.s  a>  they  come  through  the  deadl\ 
rays. 

I'\)r  the  use  of  smaller  cigar  factt)ries  a  little  machine  ha- 
been  designed  by  means  of  which  tobacco  in  carrots  and  even 
cigars  and  cigarettes  may  be  sterilize*!  withont  breaking  the 
package.  So  j)owertul  is  tlie  destructive  medium  lliat  the  ray- 
work  just  as  etYectively  through  wood  nr  paper  bo.xes. 

In  testing  <»ut  his  machine  in  his  exi)erimental  work- 
sho|)s  the  inventor  divided  infested  carrots  an<l  .after  running 
one-half  of  each  carn»t  through  tlie  sterilizer  he  placed  all  the 
tohacco  in  spearate  incubatctrs.  in  ten  da\s  thv  unstcrilized 
tobacco  hatched  out.  The  incul)ator  was  fnll  of  young  beetles, 
r.ut  the  sterlized  tobacco  remained  as  it  was.  \ot  a  sinj^le  buj^ 
appeared  in  the  other  incubator.  Although  the  microscope 
showed  the  presence  of  innumerable  unhatched  eggs,  no  amount 
of  incubation  could  bring  them  to  life  after  the  electric  rays  had 
done  their  deadly  work.

Wheeling  Stogie  Makers  Uneasy. 

Recently  several  hundred  stogie  makers  (|uit  work  at  the 
pollack  factory  at  Wheeling,  W.  \  ;i..  owing  to  a  sjiortage  of 
supplies  caused  by  a  strike  of  the  strippers'  union,  which  is 
composed  mostly  of  women  and  girls.  Two  factories  are 
being  operated,  the  main  estiblishment  being  on  Water  street 
and  a  branch  factory  in  the  h'ast  hjid.  According  to  a  state- 
ment given  out  by  some  of  the  emj)loyees  a  man  had  been  <loing 
to  weighing  at  the  East  End  factory  at  a  weekly  salary,  and 
that  the  Company  decided  to  ask  the  members  of  the  strippers* 
union  to  do  this  weighing,  but  after  a  conference  the  strippers 
infonned  the  management  that  they  would  <lo  the  weighing  pnv 
vided  that  they  were  paid  at  the  rate  of  a  half  a  cent  a  pound. 
The  management,  it  is  said,  was  unwilling  to  pay  quite  so 
much  and  a  strike  ensued. 

Subsequently  a  meeting  of  the  striking  employees  was 
held  with  the  management  of  the  factory  but  no  agreement 
was  arrived  at.  The  consensus  of  opinion  of  other  manu- 
facturers of  Wheeling  is  that  adequate  compensation  was  of- 
fered for  the  labor  entailed  in  the  work,  and  that  the  striking 
employees  were  endeavoring  to  exact  an  unreasonably  high 
rate  of  pay. 

Bonded  Warehouse  for  Dayton. 

It  is  reported  that  a  bonded  warehouse  will  be  opened  at 
Dayton,  Ohio,  by  the  American  Cigar  Co.  This  step  is  taken 
so  as  to  keep  the  stock  of  Havana  and  Sumatra  tobacco  in 
Dayton  closer  to  the  factory  instead  of  carrying  it.  as  hereto- 
fore, in  the  New  York  bonded  warehouse.  Some  idea  of  the 
American's  output  can  be  gained  by  the  statement  that  they 
manufactured  24.000.000  cigars  last  year  and  had  to  turn  down 
orders  for  $1,000,000  worth,  which  they  could  not  fill. 

The  firm  of  Donaldson  &  Lsep  Cigar  Co.  has  been  capital- 
ized with  a  capital  of  $10,000  in  Chicago  to  manufacture  and 
deal  in  cigars  and  tobacco  product.  The  incorporators  are  E. 
L.  Donaldson,  J.  R.  lsep  and  E.  C.  Mainberg.

an.l  flavor.* 


"it  was  necessary  f.»r  me  t.>  explain  at  j^reat  len^'th  that 
it  is  customary  in  clear  Havana  facl..ries  t.>  select  the  lighter 
bo.lie.l  an.l  inil.ler  leaves  .,f  t.»bacc..  for  the  thinner  .sizes

tvpe. 

'It  then  .lawne.l  up. mi  him  that  in  view  .>f  these  facts  it 
was  rea.lily  jx.ssible  that  such  a  mistake  might  be  fre<|uently 
ma.le  by  the  man  behin.l  the  cigar  ounters.  W  lien  MiL-kers

usiiallv  entail!  the  heavier  b.Mlie.l  an.l  necessarily  sir.Miger

vince.l  that  they  are  n..t  getting  the  same  amount  of  satis- 
faction as  they  .li.l  at  tirst.  " 

Ki<.;ht  here  is  where  the  cij^ar  -tore  clerk  may  make  a 
mistake  hv  attempting  t..  switch  a  sm.>ker  to  a  similar  size 
of  some  ..ther  bran.l  ..f  clear  llavanas.  when  the  cust..mer 
in  realitv  wante.l  a  mil.ler  cigar.  rheref..re  it  w.ml.l  ..fteii 
pn.ve  to  have  been  far  better  if  the  clerk  ha.l  switche.l  the 
sm.>ker  to  a  thinner,  inil.ler  cigar,  whether  .»f  the  same  or 
some  ..ther  bran.l.  an.l  in  fact,  in  some  cases  it  would  be  even 
better  if  the  sm.>ker  c-..ul.l  be  indued  t.>  change,  at  least 
temp..rarily.    from   clear    llavanas    an.l   try    a    niil.l    seed    and 

I  lavana  cigar. 

When  tliat  is  .li.ne.  a  siiDker's  taste  may  in  time  resume 
its  n.Minal  t..ne.  an.l  in  time  he  will  again  enjoy  the  strong, 
full  l).).lie.l  sizes  ..f  clear  Havana  cigars  just  as  well  as  he 
.always  .li.l. 

Two- Minute  Chat  with  Retailers. 

Sill-:  successful   retailer  will   stu.ly  his  business  just  as 
cL.sely  as  he  w.ml.l  stu.ly  a  text  b.>..k.    In  ..ther  w.mls. 
he  shinild  be  cmstantly  a  student. 
No   student    feels   (|uitc   so  onfideiit   .»f   the   re- 

snlt  .)f  his  en.leavors  when  examinati.Mi  .lay  omcs  around, 
as  he  di.l  while  the  work  was  in  progress.  It  may  be  that 
he  will  sli.le  thr.mgh  by  g.»o.l  f.>rtune  f..r  a  time  or  two.  but 
in  the  l.>ng  run  he  may  fail  t.)  pass. 

This  thorv.  we  believe,  applies  with  e(|ual  f.)rce  to  every 
man  in  the  retail  business.  If  the  man  is  truly  desirous  <)f 
forcing  himself  ahea.l  to  success,  he  must  necessarily  hrst 
have  lai.l  a  g.».><l  foun.lati.m  and  he  can  do  that  best  by  on- 
si.lering  everv  new  business  experience  as  a  lesson  and  t.> 
st..re  awav  the  results  .>f  th..se  lessons  in  his  memory  cells 
where  they  can  be  .Irawn  up..n  at  the  m.)st  advantageous  an.l 

.lesirable  time. 

Ihe  real  experience  of  one's  self,  one  battle  to  .)verc.>ine 
.obstacles  which  was  planne.l  and  executed  by  the  retailer,  is 
w.)rth  m..re  t.>  him  than  bv  hearing  of  several  such  experiences 
which  ..Ihers  have  ha.l.  lUit  why?  P.ecause  he  has  every 
detail  in.leliblv  stampe.l  on  his  memory,  where  it  can  be  used 
at  his  will.  If,  therefore,  he  was  as  careful  to  stamp  the 
experience  of  others  on  his  own  memory,  it  would  probably 
save  him  manv  unpleasant  trials,  for  experience  is  after  all 
the  real  business  text  bcv,k.  whether  they  are  ones  own  ..r 
belong  t..  r>thers.  an.l  the  more  of  them  stored  away  by  us, 
where  thev  can  be  drawn  upon  easily,  the  better  prepare.!  we 
are  for  the  emergencv  which  may  come  u])  every  little  while, 
when  ..ne  must  (|uickly  act  in  .leci.ling  between  difTerent  curses 

of  acti.)n.  .         ,.,  1      •       „ 

Experiences  that   are   forgotten   are   just   like   a  business 

text  l)(K)k  that  has  been  thrown  away.

Heart  to  Heart  Talk  with  Clerks. 

i  observing  cigar  store  clerk  will  be  very  guarde.l  of 
his  conversation  an.l  will  contine  himself  t.)  business 
onversati.m  .luring  business  hours,  for  levity  is  al- 
ways unbecoming  in  a  store.  It  is  ilecidedl)  out  of 
place  f.>r  him  to  indulge  in  talking  almut  the  play,  or  about 
a  game,  or  a  iHjssible  election. 

The  clerk  and  his  employer  are  bande.l  together  for  in- 
creased business  an.l  their  th.>ughts  must  be  centered  .»n  it. 
All  interchange  of  ideas  must  be  th.  >se  that  make  f.»r  elTiciency. 
When  pr. >i>erly  applie.l,  the  cigar  store  clerk's  power  is 
w.)nderful.  There  is  hardly  any  achievement  that  is  out  of  his 
reach,  but  he  shoul.l  guar.l  well  his  tlnughts  an.l  actions.  Con- 
centrate the  mind  ujmhi  the  thing  he  aspires  to.  Prepare  an.l 
always  be  prepare.l  for  success.  I'.y  titling  himself  .luring 
every  h.Hir  of  the  day  by  doing  the  thing  at  han.l  better  than 
it  was  ever  before  .l.me.  he  is  ready  to  go  higher  up  with  each

Martindale  Advertising  Cuesta  Reys. 

A  series  of  well-written  advertisements  has 
been  run  recently  in  the  IMiiladelj^hia  newspa- 
pers by  the  Thos.  Martindale  C.unpany  exploit- 
ing Cuesta  Rey  cigars.  .Xm.nig  c»ther  things  the 
a.lvcrtisements  state  that  the  "Cuesta  Key  are 
Havana  cigars  with  halo  (and  extra  cost)  of 
imp.)rtati(Mi.  The  leaf  comes  from  Havana  by 
direct  steamship  up  the  gulf  to  Tampa  and  is 
there  made  intej  cigars  by  native  Cubans.  Thus 
the  conditions— climate  an.l  all— virtually  dupli- 
cate those  under  which  the  actual  cigars  are 
made." 

The  advertisement  oflfers  Cabinet  Royals  at 
$5.50  for  a  box  of  fifty,  Roth.schilds  h:specials 
at  .^5  a  box,  I'anetallas  at  $4.50  a  b.)X.  and  Turi- 
tanos  Specials  at  S4.  These  advertisements 
proved  active  trade  bringers  and  the  cigar  de- 
partment reflected  the  increased  business. 

The  advertisements  of  Martin.lale  are  al- 
ways uniejuc  and  convincing  and  this  house  has 
evidently  struck  the  right  trail  in  the  matter  of 
handling  its  publicity  to  the  consumer.

Pennsy   Forbids  Use   of  Tobacco. 
Railroad  to  Enforce  Edict  Among  All  Employees  while  on  Duly. 


s 


1.\LE  llic   J'ciin.sylvaiiia  Railroad  issued   its  edict  last 
week    against   all   cnipl<jycs    using    tobacco    while   on 
duty,   statisticians   have   been   at   work   to   show   that 
as  a  result  of  this  rule  the  tobacco  interests  will  suller 
a   loss  uf  appn^xinialely  ^5,uuo,ou(j  a  year. 

\\  hile  this  "So  Tobacco"  rule  has  been  on  the  books  of 
the  i'ennsylvania  Railroad  lor  some  years,  it  has  never  been 
rigidly  eti  forced.  The  latest  announcement  that  the  railroad 
intends  to  enforce  it  means  that  all  employes  caught  in  the  act 
will  be  suspemled  and  if  the  offence  is  repeated,  discharge  wiii 

follow. 

Tiiere  is  no  doubt  that  the  railroaders,,  if  they  live  up  to 
the  letter  of  the  law,  will  suffer  considerable  hardship.  Smce 
railroading  began,  chewing  and  smoking  has  been  a  favorite 
habit  of  the  emi)loyes,  especially  among  freight  brakemen,  fire- 
men, engineers  and  round-house  employes.  A  general  holler 
has  gone  up  from  this  class  of  men  and  it  is  unlikely  that  the 
rule  will  be  enforced. 

In  defence  of  this  order  the  railroad  company  says  that 
it  has  been  compelled  to  enforce  this  matter  because  of  the 
great  need  of  ailopting  means  for  maintaining  strict  samtation 
and  cleanliness. 


A  Special  Lot  of  Zimmer  Spanish  and  Gebhardt 

Seed  Leaves. 

In  tliis  issue  Downard  ^  Koking,  well  known  Cincinnati 
leaf  dealers,  make  a  special  offer,  in  lots  to  suit,  of  their  pack- 
ing of  Zimmer  Si)anish  and  Cebhardt  seed  1</j8  loose  leaves, 
which  should  interest  manufacturers  who  are  in  the  market  for 
this  class  ui  goods.  It  is  well  known  that  the  KjuS  crop  of 
(Jhio  loose  leaves  has  been  pronounced  to  be  the  best  tiuality 
and  heaviest  boily  leaves  that  have  been  offered  to  the  market 
for  some  time  and  the  experienced  buyers  of  Uownard  &.  Kok- 
ing, realizing  this,  went  into  the  market  and  bought  heavy,  but 
with  di.scriminatioii  and  foresight.  Their  offers  of  lots  of  less 
than  20,000  pounds  at  y}i  cents  actual  weight  net  cash  and  of 
lots  of  more  than  jo.ooo  pounds  at  aj/l.  cents  should  prove 
tempting.  1  he  firm  state  that  tliey  will  be  glad  to  ship  sample 
cases  or  bales  upon  advice. 


Canada's  Tobacco  Industry. 

The  province  of  Prince  Edward  Island,  Canada,  has  ceased 
tM  produce  tobacco,  all  attempts  having  proved  unprofitable. 
The  rest  of  Canada  produced  1 1,266,732  pounds  in  1908,  nearly 
all  in  the  provinces  of  Quebec  and  Ontario.  The  Dominion 
turned  out  .$15,274,923  worth  of  tobacco  (manufactured),  ci- 
gars, cigarettes  and  snulT  in  1908.  besides  importing  $3.385»- 
348  worth,  of  which  ^^3,247.429  worth  was  from  the  United 
States.  Consumption  of  tobacco  iticreased  from  1,755  pounds 
a  head  in  i86<)  to  2.257  pounds  in  1908. 


To  Extend   Burley  Growing  in  Ohio  and   Indiana. 
Industry  to  be  Fostered  in  Competition  with  Kentucky  Market. 

CiNCiNNAii,  February  ii.— Jn  an  interview  with  the  local 
representative  of  Ini^  lon.ACCo  World,  John  Uberhehnan, 
tobacco  broker  and  leaf  dealer,  prophesied  a  great  increase  in 
the  growing  of  burley  tobacco  in  Ohio  and  Indiana.  As  the 
cause  for  this  invasion  into  the  province  of  Kentucky  growers, 
he  give-i  the  outrages  perpetrated  by  the  -night  riders,"  who 
have  so  terrorized  growers  in  Kentucky  that  a  field  for  grow- 
ers of  burley  in  other  states  has  been  opened. 

"Since  the  trouble  in  Kentucky  among  growers  and  pool- 
ers of  burley,"  said  Mr.  Oberhelman.  "a  great  amount  of  bur- 
ley is  being  produced  by  farmer>  in  Ohio  and  Indiana.  Ex- 
periments have  shown  tliat  the  burley  grown  in  Ohio  and  In- 
diana is  every  bit  as  good  as  that  of  Kentucky  and  eminently 
suits  the  purposes  of  the  manufacturers.  Growers  of  Ohio 
and  Indiana  feel  safe  against  any  such  organizations  as  the 
•night  riders'  and  the  Society  of  Equity,  for  tliere  is  no  law  in 
either  State  which  will  hold  them  to  their  agreements  after 
having  entered  a  pool. 

•Ihis  will  make  it  almost  impossible  to  form  a  pool  ol 
Ohio  or  Indiana  grown  burley.  1  do  not  know  what  it  is  all 
leading  to,  but  1  am  convinced  that  in  the  near  future  the  pro- 
duction of  burley  north  of  the  Ohio  river  will  be  equally  as 
large  if  not  larger  than  that  grown  in  KeiUucky.  The  Ken- 
tucky growers  are  held  between  two  tires,  with  the  Society  of 
i:«iuity  on  one  hand  and  the  'night  riders'  the  other  and  their 
position  is  not  an  enviable  one,  while  in  the  two  northern 
States  the  growers  are  able  to  enjoy  complete  immunity  from 
the  attacks  of  either  of  these  organizations." 


Tennessee  Growers  Organize   Board. 

A  Tobacco  Board  of  Trade  has  been  organized  at  Spring- 
hekl,  Tenii.,  for  the  purpose  of  arranging  the  sale  and  inspec- 
tion of  all  independent  tobacco  dehvered  to  that  market.  All 
the  independent  dealers,  numbering  about  hfteen,  are  members 
of  the  board.  W.  H.  Simons  was  elected  president;  C.  C.  Bell, 
vice-president;  E.  R.  Beach,  secretary,  and  R.  E.  Clover,  treas- 
urer. It  is  stated  that  the  association  will  control  about  6,000,000 
ix)unds  of  tobacco  of  the  present  crop. 

Hoisington  to  Visit  Porto  Rico. 

F.  R.  Hoisington,  of  the  Cayey  Caguas  Tobacco  Com- 
pany, will  sail  this  week  for  Porto  Rico,  where  he  will  inspect 
the  firm's  factories  at  Cayey  and  Caguas. 

The  large  sales  of  the  products  of  these  factories  in  the 
United  States  has  made  it  necessary  to  repeatedly  increase  fac- 
tory facilities,  and  this  year  so  far  has  been  a  record-breaker. 

Mr.  Hoisington  is  accustomed  to  making  fre(iuent  trips  to 
Torto  Rico,  especially  during  the  tobacco  gn»wing  and  packing 
Fcason. 

Senor  Vega  in  Havana. 
Mr.  Vega,  of  Garcia  &  Vega,  of  New  York,  and  makers 
of  clear  Havana  cigars  in  New  York.  Tampa  and  Havana,  is 
now  in  Havana  inspecting  the  firm's  holdings  of  leaf  tobacco  on 
the  island. 

Santaella  Visits  the  Coast. 

The  regular  annual  visit  of  A.  Santaella,  of  A.  Santaella 
&  Co.,  New  York  and  Chicago,  to  the  Pacific  Coast  is  now  be- 
ing made.  The  itinerary  includes  Chicago,  Denver,  San  Fran- 
cisco, Los  Angeles.  Portland.  Seattle  and  Butte,  and  he  will 
probablv  not  return  to  the  East  before  the  middle  of  March. 

This  house  has  an  extensive  Coast  patronage  on  their 
"Optimo"  and  other  brands  of  clear  Havana  cigars.

EDITORIAL. 

The  dignified  and  emphatic  protest  laid  before  the  Bureau 
of  Insular  Affairs  at  Washington  last  week  by  representative 
American  cigar  manufacturers  cannot  well  be  ignored.     While 

the  stamp  guaranteeing  the  standard  of  (juality 
Government  of  the  Philippine  cigars  is  not  so  objecti(jnable 
Should  Heed  •"  itself,  the  abuses  which  are  practised  in  its 
Manufacturers'  "«i"n^  are  certainly  contrary  to  clean  business 
Protest.  methods.  Unscrupulous  advertisers  have  seized 

upon  this  label  to  unload  low-grade  goods, 
claiming  that  the  Government  guarantees  the  (juality  of  the 
product. 

It  is  hoped  that  Secretary  of  War  Dickinson  and  Chief 
of  the  Bureau  of  Insular  Affairs,  General  Edwards,  will  put 
an  immediate  stop  to  this  practice  by  abolishing  the  stamp 
itself. 

Those  of  the  Commfitee  of  Manufacturers  who  visited 
Washington  arc  not  over  .sanguine  that  the  Department  will  issue 
such  an  edict  and  it  may  be  necessary  to  appeal  to  Congress  for 
special  legislation. 

Importers  of  Manila  cigars,  which  have  real  merit,  need 
not  fear  the  abolition  of  this  stamp.  It  is  oidy  those  importers 
who  are  trying  to  bring  in  shoddy  goods  and  palm  them  off  as 
high-grade  cigars  under  the  cloak  of  a  Government  stamp,  who 
will  be  hit. 


The  or«ler   which  ihc    lVnn>ylvania   Railroad   i.s.>ued   last 
week  forbidding  all  employes  at  passenger  and  freight  stations 

""    their    lines   east   of    ritl.>burgh   and 

1  he  renna.  R.  H.        I.rie  to  use  tobacco  in  any  form  while 

Order  on  duty,,  is  the  latest  extreme  step  to 

Against  Tobacco.        regulate  the  personal    habits    oi    their 

einpKtyes. 
W  hether  the  order  will  be  obeyed  as  strictly  as  a  similar 
one  against  the  use  of  intoxicants  is  doubtful.  It  is  against 
human  nature  to  live  in  a  groi.)ve,  and  we  surmise  that  nuuiy  a 
•  iuiet  smoke  and  chew  will  be  indulged  in  when  the  be)ss  is  not 
koking, 

Vou  cannot  legislate  out  the  habits  of  a  lifetime. 

Wouldn't  It  Be  Too  Funny  ? 

if,  as  a  result  of  the  present  nationalizing  and  federalization  i.l 
all  our  industries  and  our  finances,  these  spankings  and  inipris- 
onments  winch  a  paternal  government  administers  i^with  unction 
and  tears,  it  is  true)  but  adnunisters  nevertheless;  wouldn't  it 
l)e  funnier  tlian  a  goat,  we  say,  if  Robert  E.  Lee  shoiiKl  one 
day  be  pointed  at  in  the  American  Hall  of  Eame  as  the  one 
great  big  man  who  tried  to  make  the  Slates  of  this  Reiiublic 
indestructible,  thus  aiding  Grant  to  make  the  Union  indis- 
soluble ? 

In  the  efiort  to  daddy  everything  and  everybody  Senator 
I'enrose  intimated  at  the  Lincoln  Birthday  dinner  of  the 
League  that  there  is  such  a  thing  as  going  to  ilern  far. 

The  tobacco  monopoly  of  the  Italian  Government  is  stateil 
to  have  yielded  a  net  profit  of  nearly  $37,000,000  last  year. 
I    ,.  J    r^i  -^^  previously    remarketl    m    these 

Italian   and   Uther        columns,  it  looks  a  little  hard  tliat  every 
Tobacco  Monopolies,  luiropean  Government  should  seize  upon 

tobacco  as  the  one  great  source  of  inter- 
nal revenue.  Governments  well  know  that  the  weed  is  some- 
tliing  man  must  and  will  have,  hence  they  make  it  an  object  of 
•special  legislation  and  tax  it  in  so  many  subtle  and  different 
ways  that  by  the  time  it  reaches  the  individual  it  is  a  thing  of 
luxury  and  not  of  solace  and  comfort,  as  the  Almighty  in- 
tended it. 

Some  day  the  people  in  their  might  and  in  their  wrath  will 
rise  and  smash  the  mailed  hand  of  Government  and  reijiiire  it 
to  select  other  staple  articles,  as  well  as  tobacco,  from  which  to 
draw  sustenance. 

The  Pacific  Tobacco  Company,  of  Seattle,  has  been  char- 
tered with  a  cai)ital  of  $25,000.  II.  Kul)ey,  C.  H.  Howard  and 
C.  J.  .Simms  are  the  incorporators. 

More  Praise  for  "The  World." 

Penn  Tobacco  Co.,  Wilkes-Barre,  Pa.— "We  consider  your 
February  number  a  model  for  all  other  tobacco  perio<licals,  an 
indispensable  necessity   for  pn»gressive  merchants." 

J.  B.  Milleysach,  Lancaster,  Pa. — "You  are  certainly  there 
with  the  new  publication.     It  is  very  nice." 

Theo.  Byxbee. — "I  know  of  no  better  method  in  advising 
my  friends  and  trade  than  through  your  newsy  and  truly  up-to- 
date  issue." 

Klauber,  Wangenheim  Co.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal. — "Your 
January  ist  number  is  a  'cracker-jack.'  Keep  your  standard  to 
this  high  mark  and  the  wholesale  trade  will  give  you  its  hearty 
support." 


Official  statistics  show  that  in  the  year  ended  June  30,  1909, 
there  were  36.313  acres  in  Germany  devoted  t(»  tobacco  culture, 
which  was  about  seven  per  cent,  less  than  in  the  preceding  year. 
The  number  of  tobacco  growers  also  decreased  from  96.870  in 
1908  to  88.656  in  1909.  In  spite  of  this  decrease  the  last  crop 
of  tobacco  leaf  exceeded  that  in  1908,  the  total  production 
amounting  to  34,409  metric  tons  of  leaf  tobacco.

Cigarrette  Prices  Advance  in  New  York. 
Last   week   an   advance   in   the  prices   was  put   int<»  et'tect. 
but  the  increases  are  offset  by  special  deals  given  by  the  city's

New    Automatic    Banding    Machine  a    Success. 

( ieorge  I'.rand.  of  the  American  Cigar  Ban. ling  Machine 
C.Miipany.  at  \ew  \'ork,  tells  us  that  this  new  machine,  which 
has  recently  been  put  on  the  market  for  ban.ling  packed  cigars, 
has  met  with  a  most  interesting  reception  at  the  lymds  .)f  the 
tra.le.  Visitors  are  daily  calling  at  their  offices.  .)n  the  twelfth

this  won.lerfully  clever  machine. 

.\n  examinati.»ii  is  all  that  is  necessary  to  .lemon»trate  the 
fact  that  by  automatic  acti.m  cigars,  either  packe.l  in  bo.xes  or 
buiulle  g.xxls.  can  be  ban.le.l  at  the  rate  of  50  cigars  per  minute 
with  the  utm.)st  precision  an.l  regularity.  The  machinp  can  be 
ten.le.l  by  one  girl  and  can  easily  pay  for  itself  in  any  large 
factory  within  a  period  of  twelve  months.  .\  Ix^x  of  cigars

Old  Indian  Snuff  Mills  Occupy  New  Plant. 

l-ebruary  ]4th  marke.l  the  occupancy  by  the  (  )l.l  Indian 
SnufT  -Mills.  Inc..  of  their  new  factory  cjuarters  at  187  Pearl 
street,  Brooklyn.  I  lere  the  c.)mi)any  have  two  fine  floors,  about 
30  feet  by  125  in  dimensions,  an.l  the  best  facilities  they  have 
ever  had  for  the  manufacture  of  their  several  brands  of  snuff. 
new  and  m.»<lern  machinerv  having  been  installed  throughout. 

The  Old  In.lian  Snuft  Mills  is  hea.led  by  A.  II.  Hillman 
as  j)resi(lent  of  the  c. )mpany  and  their  goods,  which  are  of  in- 
dependent manufacture,  are  becoming  deci.ledly  |i.)i)iilar  in  the 
various  sections  of  the  country  where  they  arc  being  exploitetl. 
The  South.  Mr.  Hillman  reports,  likes  Old  Indian  snuffs  and 
they  are  using  more  d.>wn  in  that  section  every  month.  This 
means  a  great  deal,  too,  for  they  know  good  smifT  south  of  r»al- 
timore.  and  its  use  ranges  from  the  old  veteran  who  wore  the 
gray,  right  down  to  the  black  mammy  who  ccK)ks  his  chickens. 


Pushing  the  "  Ramly*'  Cigarettes. 

\  ice- President  E.  J.  Costello.  of  the  Mentor  C.>mi)any, 
Boston,  came  down  to  Xew  York  on  Monday  last  for  a  brief 
business  trip.  He  reports  an  ever-wi.lening  market  for  the 
company's  popular  "Kamly"  cigarettes  and  looks  f.^r  the  pres- 
ent year  to  show  the  most  extensive  progress  in  the  firm's  his- 
tory. Mr.  Costello  is  a  man  of  ripe  experience  in  his  field,  a 
keen  student  of  conditions  and  has  that  winning,  aggressive  per- 
sonality which  does  not  admit  of  defeat.  He  believes  in  the 
"Ramly"  cigarette  and  makes  others  believe  in  them  and  see 
them. 


Wm.   Demuth  &  Co.   Acquire  Foreign  Pipe  Accounts. 

Charles  Frankenthal  arrived  home  on  the  last  trij)  over  of 
the  ".Mauretaiiia."  after  a  successful  journey  abr.)a.l.  .luring 
which  he  orraled  for  W^in.  Demuth  tS:  Co.  the  pipe  accounts 
formerly  handled  in  this  cotintry  by  Joseph  Marx  i^-  C  >..  which 
firm  withdrew  from  business  January  ist. 

This  is  a  radical  departure  on  the  part  of  the  conservative 
old  house  of  Demuth,  but  as  Mr.  Frankenthal  starts  off  this 
new  department  with  such  sterling  P>ritish  accounts  as  the  Pe- 
terson patent  pipes,  which  are  made  in  Dublin  and  the  London 
briars  of  Barling  and  Loewe.  together  with  the  famous  Warne 
tobacco  pouches,  and  a  full  line  of  Euiopean  novelties  for 
smokers,  the  success  of  the  departure  seems  guaranteed  froni 
the  outset.

Loeb-Nunez   Affairs. 

Sidnev  I.abe,  of  Leo.  T.oeb  &  Co..  and  T.oeb-Nunez-Ha-

There  is  now  much  hope  that  affairs  can  be  entirely  adjusted 
to  the  satisfaction  of  all. 

Strong  Sales  of  Cortez  Cigars. 

The  products  of  the  Cortez  Cigar  Company  of  Key  West 
are  apparentlv  selling  well  in  this  city.   Mitchell-Fletcher  &  Co., 
at  T2th  and  Chestnut  streets,  are  featuring  several  brands  made 
-It  the  Cortez  factorv  and  thev  are  proving  a  good  seller  with 
the  hou<;e.   Griffin  .'^-Kegan.  in  the  Crozer  Building,  arc  featur- 
ing stronglv  the  TTernan  Cortez  Cigar  of  the  Cortez  Cigar  Com- 
pany     In   fact,  thev  are  making  it  their  leader  in  Key  West 
products.    W.  A.  Haug.  a  popular  cigarist  on  N.  0th  street  has 
-I  lar^^e  patronage  on  Cortez  brands,  some  of  which  are  being 
made'up  e<;peciallv  for  his  trade.    Much  credit  for  the  progress 
made  here  on  the  Cortez  goods  is  due  to  C.  W.  Saunders,  who 
ha<  been   for  «;everal  vears  past  looking  very  carefully  after 
their  Philadelphia  interests,  and  the  results  obtained  should  be. 
we  believe,  highly  satisfactory. 


Dalton  to  Move   Around  Corner. 

M.  J.  D.ALTON,  who  has  conducted  one  of  the  most  promi- 
nent cigar  stand>'in  Philadelphia  for  the  last  ten  years  at 
13th  cS:  c:hestnut  .streets,  will  remove  on  March  loth  around 
the  corner  to  1 1 1  South  Thirteenth  .street  in  the  store  formerly 
« occupied  bv  P,rommall-Lafayette  Co.  It  is  stated  that  Mr. 
Daltrm's  reuKjval  is  necessitated  by  the  unreas(»nable  demand 
of  his  landlord  for  an  increase  of  $5,500  in  his  yearly  rental, 
bringing  it  up  to  S17.500.  Mr.  Dalton  considered  this  price 
exorbitant  and  decided  to  seek  quarters  nearby.  The  new 
stand,  while  it  is  not  as  prominent  as  the  old.  should  prove  a 
good  trade  centre. 


Waldorf-Astoria   Closes   Local   Branch. 

Another  pioneer  cigar  stan.l  of  ]>hiladelphia  di^ai)peared 
when  the  business  of  E.  G.  Steane  &  Co.,  loth  and  Chestnut 
streets,  was  closed  out  at  auction  last  week.  This  firm  was 
founded  in  1862  bv  Mr.  Steane,  the  first  stand  bemg  at  931 
Chestnut  street.  About  nine  vears  ago  the  business  was  moved 
to  the  Mutual  Life  Building,  and  has  since  been  maintained 
there  Following  the  death  of  Mr.  Steane.  the  business  was 
sold  to  the  Waldorf-Astoria  Segar  Company,  who  have  been 
using  it  as  headquarters  for  handling  their  wholesale  business 
in  Philadelphia,  in  addition  to  retailing  to  the  transient  trade. 

This  branch  of  the  Waldorf-Astoria  Segar  Company  has 
been  closed  in  line  with  their  policy  of  concentrating  their  busi- 
ness entirelv  to  wholesale  and  directing  their  affairs  from  New 
York.  The  stock  was  sold  at  public  auction  and  consi^^ted  of 
a  fine  lot  of  pipes,  cigars,  tobacco  and  cigarettes. 

Evans  Opens  New  Store. 

\  new  drug  store  has  been  opened  at  122 1  Market  street 
bv  Oo.  B.  Evans,  and.  like  the  present  store  at  1012  Market 
.treet.  an  up-to-date  cigar  department  is  to  be  also  installed  in 
which  will  be  handled  all  the  more  popular  brands  now  on  the 
market  Much  success  has  attended  the  Evans  cigar  depart- 
ment and  it  is  not  surprising,  therefore,  to  note  that  a  special 
effort  will  be  made  in  developing  a  large  patronage  for  the  cigar 
department  at  the  new  store.

Everybody's  Cigar  Stores  Progressing. 

The  two  cigar  stores  conducted  by  the  1  loch  Cigar  Com- 
|)any  under  the  name  of  I'verybody's  Cigar  Store,  the  main 
«>ne  of  which  is  located  on  loth  street  above  Market  and 
another  at  .\intl-.  and  I'ilberl  >treets.  are  progressing  (|uite  sat- 
isfactorily according  to  a  report  made  to  a  Ton  \(  co  World 
rrj)resentative  by  Mr.  l-'red  Hoch.  They  have  been  successful 
in  the  distribution  of  the  "La  Cialenita."  a  Porto  Rico  product 
iiKule  by  I'avon  Alvarez  iV  Co.  They  have  for  some  time  had 
the  distributing  agency  for  certain  limite<l  territory  and  their 
success  has  been  so  liighly  enc<»uraging.  lH»th  to  them  and  to 
the  manufacturers,  that  they  now  contemplate  the  general  dis- 
tribution of  the  g<M>ds  throughout  the  I'nited  States.  To  this 
tliev  are  now  specially  directing  their  attention.  \fter  a  brief 
stav  at  Atlantic  City  Mr.  I'red  llocli  of  this  tirm  has  again 
come  back  to  his  (U-^k  an<l  is  directing  the  affairs  of  the  con- 
cern in  old-time  energy. 

Pushing  the  V-P  Cigars. 

The  Cores- Martines  C'omjiany  are  now  engaged  in  a  vig- 
on»us  camj)aign  of  further  exploitation  of  their  \'  P  cigars. 
The  sales  of  these  goods  have  increased  at  a  rapid  rate,  not  only 
in  this  city,  but  have  become  a  very  im|)ortant  feature  in  a 
number  of  the  distributing  centers  of  the  F.astern  States.  Mr. 
Core^,  of  this  h(»use.  is  personally  directing  the  campaign  in 
\ew  >'ork  Citv.  where  a  number  of  local  representatives  are 
being  employed. 

Business  with  Retailers. 

The  retail  trade  in  this  city  has  been  <|uiet.  although  no 
great  activitv  can  be  expected  at  this  time  of  the  year.  The  sales 
for  the  month  of  January  were  running  sotuewhat  behind  ex- 
pectations. The  present  indications  are  that  February  may  pos- 
siblv  fall  somewhat  behind.  It  is  a  short  month,  and  the  holi- 
davs  during  the  month  are  not  of  a  nature  that  would  produce 
anv  particular  increase  in  the  volume  of  busine'^s.

lea<ling  megottiers  is  in  limbo  f..r  selling  contraband  tobacco  .\ 
sort  of  trade  union  has  been  formed,  their  contention  being  that 
as  the  stumps  they  gather  have  already  paid  duty,  they  are  in 
no  stMise  defrauding  the  revenue.  • 

The  cigarette  ends  are  carefully  cleaned,  the  tobacco  shreds 
drie<l  an<l  mixed,  and  are  marketed  in  packets  selling  at  from 
40  to  r^  cents  a  pound.  Cigar  ends  are  separated  into  plugs

ing forces  in  the  larger  facKjries  have  been  kept  up  to  their 
iiill  .junta  and  there  are  no  signs  of  curtailment.  The  nn- 
|,..rtati..ns  of  Havana  have  fallen  somewhat  below  the  average. 

(  )ne  of  the  busiest  factories  is  that  of  L.  11.  (Jato,  which 
I  as  been  rushed  ever  since  the  holidays.  \\.  11.  Cjato,  Sr.,  who 
has  been  at  the  Key  West  factory  for  some  time,  has  returned 
I  .  (  uba,  where  he  will  l<H.k  after  the  tirm's  interests. 

I'Ki.MDiM  |<»ii.N  \\.\Ki>i-ow,  of  tlic  Kuy  Lopez  Co.,  re- 
ports that  the  ..rders  which  his  factory  has  been  receiving  are 
larger  and  nmre  satisfactory  than  ever  before  at  this  tune 
of  the  year.  This  factory  has  l)een  somewhat  handicapped 
during  the  past  few  iiionlhs  by  being  comi)elled  to  use  tem- 
porary <piarlers,  which  were  erected  to  take  the  place  of  the 
l.iiiMing  <lestn.ved  liy  the  recent  hurricane.  However,  work  is 
being  rushed  nu  the  new  buiMing  and  when  completed  it  will  be 
large  enough   to  accommodate  ^?oo  workmen. 

Loii.s  Maktim:/,  of  the  Martinez-Havana  Co.,  reached 
Key  West  this  week  and  found  that  their  factory  has  been 
nuite  busv  on  all  gra<les  and  sizes  of  cigars.  Mr.  Martniez  says 
that  the  business  has  ha.l  a  heavy  increase  and  that  the  books

Shade  Grown  Tobacco  to  the  Forefront  in  Connecticut. 

Certain  Connecticut  corporations  have  been  throwing  their 
neighbors  "in  the  sha<le,"  so  to  speak,  by  raising  shade-grown 
tcbacco  themselves.  The  Connecticut  Tobacco  Corjxjration,  for 
instance,  will  add  42  acres  to  the  present  acreage,  making  over 
J50  acres  under  cloth.  The  company  is  also  erecting  five  new 
curing  .sheds  and  two  houses  for  employees. 

The  Krohn  Tobacco  Company  will  have  35  acres  under 
cloth  the  coming  season.  Olds  &  \Vhii)ple,  of  Hartford,  Conn., 
have  placed  J.  B.  Stewart  in  charge  of  the  Upson  place,  where 
they  will  raise  50  acres  of  tobacco  under  cover  this  year.  Mr. 
Stewart  is  a  Ciovernment  expert. 

First  Scotch  Tobacco  in  Years. 

A  recent  cable  dispatch  from  Glasgow  states  that  the  first 
tnbacco  croj.  grown  in  Scotland  for  two  hundred  years  has  been 
bought  bv  the  Irish  Tobacco  Company  and  sent  to  Col.  Ever- 
and's  factorv  at  Kandallstown  to  be  rehandled.  This  crop  of 
tobacco,  which  revives  a  one-time  industry  in  Scotland,  is  of 
the  Yelk.w  T^ior  varictv.  but  for  what  purpose  it  is  best 
adapted,  the  cable  <lispatch  does  not  state.  If  it  pans  out  as 
well  as  most  of  Scotland's  products  it  will  afford  the  smoker  a 
gocul  deal  of  solace,  whether  in  pipes  or  cigars.  It  was  grown 
bv  Mr.  Neilson,  of  Queen's  Hill. 


New  Factories  and  Incorporations. 

1  he  Sargent  Cigar  vS:  riantation  Company  has  been  organ- 
ized at  liang..r,  Me.,  with  a  capital  slock  of  ^3.000,000.  Ihe 
incorporators  are  AUston  Sargent,  New  York  City;  U.  A.  Sar- 
gent, 1'.  X.  Sargent,  and  K.  11.  Murphy,  r.ridgep..rt.  Conn.; 
Ueo.'o.  Sargent,  L.  W.  Sargent.  Hrewer,  and  I'.  L.  heeiiey,  of 
iJangor. 

Robert  Richardson,  of  Ottawa,  111.,  will  continue  making 
the  famous  "No.  7"  brand  of  cigar.s  formerly  made  by  M.  U. 
Mitchell,  who  retires  from  both  the  retail  and  manufacturing 
branches.  James  Haiiagan  succeeds  Mitchell  in  the  retail  sec- 
tion. 

At  a  special  meeting  of  the  Soulhbridge  Cigar  Manufac- 
turing Company,  Southbridge,  Mass.,  held  111  llie  early  part  ol 
this  month,  it  was  voted  to  increase  the  capital  slock  from 
S5.0UO  to  :> 1 0,000. 

11.  P.  Tompkins  &  Co.,  of  Louisville,  have  opened  a  large 
tobacco  warehouse  at  Tompkiiisville,  Ky.  This  is  the  first  year 
that  Muiiroe  County,  Ky.,  has  raised  or  dealt  in  the  weed  on  a 
large  scale. 

A  new  incorporation  reported  from  Denver,  Col.,  is  that  of 
the  Denver  Cigar  Manufacturing  Company.  The  incorporator^ 
are  Joseph  Jacobs,  Barnett  Genwert  and  Morris  Ginsberg.  Ihe 
capital  is  i?300,ooo. 

The  Max  Roth  Cigar  Company  has  been  incorporated  at 
Los  Angeles,  Cab,  with  a  capital  of  $50,000  by  Max  Roth,  Isa- 
dore  Roth  and  Ethel  Roth. 

Ihe  Morrison  County  Cigar  Company  are  about  to  oper- 
ate a  cigar  factory  at  Duluth,  Minn.  11.  W.  Verniers  is  presi- 
dent and  manager  of  the  new  corporation. 

The  Meagher  Company,  with  $30,000  capital,  lias  organized 
to  manulaclure  tobacco  at  Rochester,  N.  Y.  Patrick  Joseph  and 
'1  homas  Meagher  are  directors. 

The  Erwin-Xadal  Tobacco  Company,  of  WiNoii,  N.  C,  has 
been  chartered  with  a  capital  of  $50,000. 


Flattering  Offer  to  Go  to  Africa. 

I'van  S  Rees,  manager  of  the  Home  Tobacco  Warehouse, 
of  L.>uisville,  Ky.,  has  cabled  the  British  Agricultural  Depart- 
ment declining  the  oiler  of  the  department  to  go  to  Pretoria, 
\frica  to  take  charge  of  the  tobacco  warehouses  there  and  act 
as  Government  superintendent  of  culture.  The  oiler  carried 
with  it  $5,000  a  year  and  an  annual  increase,  together  with  all 
family  expenses  in  getting  there.  Several  other  tobacco  men, 
it  is  said,  will  make  application  for  this  position,  which  is  one 
of  decided  honor  and  emoluments. 

It  will  be  recalled  that  a  year  ago  Professor  W .  11.  Scherr- 
llus,  a  Kentucky  expert,  was  delegated  by  the  liritish  Govern- 
ment to  show  the  natives  of  the  Transvaal  the  best  method  of 
planting  and  raising  tobacco.  The  proffer  to  Mr.  Rees  was  in 
eonnection  with  Professor  Scherrfluss  work. 


"The  Damnation  of  Theron  Ware". 

"A  good  name  is  better  than  great  riches,"  said  King  Sol- 
omon;  which  reminds  us : 

Some  cigarmakers  think  it  smart  to  get  publicity  through 
establishing  a  good  name  and  then  to  get  "great  riches 
through  conjury.  They  obtrude  their  cigars  with  the  good 
name  on  the  band  or  box  while  the  insides  of  the  cigar  is  well 
known  to  many  to  be  full  of  all  uncleanness  Several  well- 
known  brands  of  cigars  long  since  entered  the  ;'stinkadora 
class,  but  their  makers  oiYer  them  still  as  goods  which  sell  on 
sight"  They  arc  really  nicelodians  en  mas(|ue  and  badly 
masked,  at  that.  Smoke,  smell  and  taste  one  and  you'll  ask  for 
a  "Cinco"  or  a  "Cremo"  on  a  run. 


1 1  K  present  state  and  prospective  outlook  for  the  cigar 
industry  at  Tampa  is  better  now  than  it  ever  has  been. 
Shipments  of  cigars  from  Tampa  are  showing  a 
steatly  increase  averaging  alx)ut  a  million  a  week. 
During  tile  latter  part  of  January  the  largest  record  ever  made 
for  that  time  of  the  year  was  recorded  and  that  showed,  as 
has  been  stated  above,  an  increase  of  over  a  million  a  week 
over  the  same  period  of  the  previous  year.  These  facts  record 
better  than  anything  else  could  the  condition  of  the  trade.  The 
extraordinary  proi)ortion  of  stemmed  leaf  tobacco  as  shown 
by  the  imports  and  withdrawals  is  also  noteworthy,  and  it 
shows  that  olit  of  recent  withdrawals  of  813  bales.  531  bales 
were  stemmed,  which  winild  indicate  an  unexpected  rush  o£ 
continuance  of  orders  for  goods.  The  receipts  of  cigars  from 
Cuba  show  a  small  decrease,  while  imports  of  leaf  show  the 
actvity  above  noted. 

Customs  officers  recently  discovered  and  seized  quite  a  lot 
i)i  cigars  and  cigarettes  on  Ix^ard  the  P.  &  O.  steamer  Mascott 
at  Tampa.  It  contained  1100  tine  Havana  cigars  and  16  reels 
of  cigarettes  containing  26  packs  to  the  reel.  These  articles 
were  to  be  "run  in"  in  defiance  of  the  duties  collectible  and 
w  ith  all  tliC  vigilance  of  the  Customs  officers,  it  was  impossible 
to  discover  who  was  the  real  owner  of  the  goods.  It  seems 
that  a  night  inspector  of  the  Customs  service  was  going  about 
the  Mascott  when  he  noticed  a  suitcase  lying  on  a  bunk.  Of 
course  he  opened  it  and  found  the  cigars  neatly  packed  in  the 
bag.  He  then  searched  the  mattress  and  found  the  cigarettes 
concealed  in  it.  After  making  diligent  iiKjuiry  as  to  their  own- 
ership the  goods  were  seized  without  further  ado.  and  thus  frus- 
trateil  a  l^old  game.  All  passenger  baggage  is  now  inspected  in 
1  lavana  and  the  inspection  here  is  made  in  a  general  way  for 
just  such  contingencies  as  this  inspector  found  in  making  his 
rounds. 

The  Tampa  cigar  manufacturing  industry  will  be  magnifi- 
cently represented  in  the  great  Washington  Birthday  growth- 
showing  i)arade  of  the  Panama  Canal  celebration  of  February 
12-26.  A  highly  commendable  action  was  taken  recently  by 
the  Clear  Havana  Cigar  Manufacturers'  Association  in  ap|)ro- 
priating  $500  for  the  phrpose  of  having  the  industry  adetjuately 
represented  in  the  monster  parade,  by  a  float  which  shall  truly 
sliow  the  magnitude  of  the  industry. 

The  reappointment  of  Col.  Matthew  1>.  Macfarlane,  as 
Collector  of  Customs  for  the  port  of  Tampa,  came  as  an  agree- 
able surprise  to  the  Tampa  trade.  f(»r  it  was  known  among 
tliem  that  there  were  other  aspirants  to  the  place  and  it  will  be 
his  fourth  term  of  office,  having  been  first  appointed  twelve 
years  ago  bv  President  McKinley.  and  later  was  reappointed 
by  President  Roosevelt,  and  again  named  by  President  Taft  for 
the  fourth  term. 

The  post  of  Collector  of  Customs  for  Tampa  is  both  an 
arduous  and  highly  responsible  position, 

A  new  cigar  factory  has  been  addtd  to  Tampa's  long  list 
by  the  establishment  here  of  the  P.riskol  Cigar  Comi)any.  which 
was  located  at  the  intersection  of  Washington  and  Franklin 
streets.  They  have  just  put  upon  the  market  a  5-cent  cigarwhich 
they  called  the  "P.  H.  S."  and  which,  as  the  name  is  supposed 
to  imply,  they  guarantee  it  to  be  made  of  pure  Havana  stock. 

) 


Ihe  cigar  is  made  m  three  shapes  now,  namely,  brevas,  espe- 
ciales  and  conchas.  Mr.  IJriskol,  the  general  manager  of  the 
factory,  came  to  this  city  from  New  Orleans  ami  is  an  expe- 
rience* 1  l(^>bacco  man. 

The  highest  testimonial  which  the  cigar  traile  of  Tampa 
could  bestow  was  recently  tendered  to  I'resident  I'.iuuiue  Pen- 
das,  of  the  Clear  Havana  Cigar  .Manufacturers  Ass«»ciaii«>n. 
by  the  teiulering  of  a  baiuiuet  which  was  one  of  the  most  elabo- 
rate ever  heUl  at  the  famous  Tampa  P.ay  Hotel.  Increased 
significance  was  attached  to  this  dinner  by  the  fact  that  recently 
there  was  con>nminated  long-pending  negotiations  between  the 
manufacturers  of  Tampa  ami  the  cigarmakers.  and  it  was  be- 
lieved that  the  recent  signing  of  an  agreement  between  the  two 
factors  meant  permanent  peace  for  this  imix>rtant  industry.  an«l 
lurthermore  that  it  placed  all  the  manufacturer-,  uiH.n  an  et|ual 
basis  as  to  sizes  and  prices. 

The  ban(|uet  tables  were  surrounded  by  (»8  members  id* 
llie  tra«le  and  specially  invited  guests,  ami  it  was  presided  over 
by  1-'.<1.  J.  Stachelberg,  who  acted  as  toastmaster  in  a  highly 
pleasing  manner.  After  a  brief  address  of  welcme  luul  been 
made,  the  presiding  officer  introduced  A.  Ramirez,  secretary 
of  the  association,  who  presented  a  carefully  preparetl  review 
of  the  w»>rk  in  behalf  «d'  the  industry  during  President  Pendas* 
incumbency.  .Mr.  Ramirez  concluded  the  remarks  by  present- 
ing President  Pendas,  in  the  name  of  the  association,  with  a 
magnificent  solid  silver  tea  set,  which  brought  almiit  an  t)vation 
such  as  is  seMom  heard  in  Tanij)a.  Presi<lenl  Pendas  re- 
sponde«l  elo(|uently  in  Spanish  for  the  kindly  feeling  demon- 
strated towar«l  him  and  with  modesty  asserte<l  that  as  much 
credit  was  due  to  others  as  to  himself  for  consummation  of  the 
liappy  situation,  and  assnring  his  hearers  that  in  the  future 
there  would  be  the  same  devotion  to  the  interest  of  all  con- 
cerned in  Tampa's  great  imlustry — the  W(»rkimn  as  well  as  the 
pr(»i)rietors  <*i  the  factories — as  he  had  undertaken  t«»  do  in  the 
past.

in  view  of  the  fact  that  an  et|ualizati<>n  «»f  sizes  was 
adopted  recently  by  the  Tampa  manufacturers,  a  letter  was 
forwarded  to  TVancisco  Fleitas,  President  of  the  .Manufac-

Increase   in    Sumatra    Sales    at  Amsterdam. 

Consul  Henry  H.  Morgan  reix>rls  as  follows  on  the  tobacco 
sales  held  at  Amsterdam  during  the  year  lyocj: 

-The  sales  amounted  to  271,353  bales  of  Sumatra  tobacco, 
which  averaged  ^.^2  per  2.2  i>ounds,  against  272,403  bales  in 
1908,  at  an  average  price  of  i?.3^X).    The  sale  of  liorneo  tobacco 
amounted  to  15,121  bales,  at  an  average  price  of  ti<>. 305.  against 
18,220  bales,  at  an  average  price  of  $0,314  for  i(>)8.     Sumatra 
tobacco  bought  at  Amsterdam   and   e.\porte<l    to    the     Cnited 
States  during  19CJ9  was  valued  at  is5,8(xj,403,  against  $5,457'- 
167  in   i(A>8,  and  $8,059,770  "^   I9«7-    Cermany,  Austria,  and 
I'Vance  are  also  large  buyers  in  the  Amsterdam  market.  Dur- 
ing the  months  of  May  and  June  the  market  was  somewhat  111- 
tUieiiced  and  hami)ered  by  the  fact  that  the  Austrian  dovern- 
meiit  had  changed  its  system  of  buying,  but  thereafter  prices 
gradually  increaseil,  and  when  it  was  known  that  there  would 
only  be  a  small  (juantity    for  the   fall   sales   suitable   for  the 
Ainerican  market  this  also  had  the  effect  of  causing  a  rise  in 
the  price. 

Mr.  Morgan  reviews  the  yield  of  the  Dutch  tobacco  plan- 
tations in  Sumatra  for  the  current  season: 

"At  the  commencement  of  the  year  1909  the  prospects  of 
the  Sumatra  tobacco  crop  were  very  unsatisfactory  on  account 
of  the  drought,  which  was  complained  of  by  almost  all  the 
tobacco  estates,  in  June,  however,  the  weather  conditions 
changed  for  the  better,  and  the  reports  regarding  the  1909  crop 
were  more  favorable,  but  the  (luality  of  the  crop  is  not  consid- 
ered as  g(K)d  as  the  crop  of  1908." 

The  Indische  Mercuur  gives  an  estimate  of  the  1909  crop 

of  Sumatra  tobacco,  together  with  the  estates  on  which  grown. 

and  the  c(imparison  with  the  1908  crop.    The  54  estates  named 

produced  a  total  of  274.7<^'4  hales,  against  265.880  bales  in  1908. 

The  bales  weigh  140  to  180  pounds  each,  averaging  \(>o  pounds.

W.   A.   Uhr. 
Enterprising  Red  Lion,  Pa.,  Cigar  Manufacturer. 

TiHI:RI'.  is  periiaps  not  another  town  in  the  United 
I  States  which  has  so  many  cigar  manufacturing  estab- 
lishments within  the  Ixtundary  of  its  bonuigh  line 
than  there  are  at  Re<l  Lion,  I'a.  It  is  not  common 
in  such  cases  that  there  are  always  a  certain  few  who  are  re- 
garded as  the  leaders  in  the  industry,  and  thi^  a|)plies  to  Red 
Lion  quite  as  much  as  it  does  to  any  other  cigar  manufacturing 
town,  especially  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  if,  in<leed.  not 
even  more  so. 

Of  course  Re<l  Lion  has  a  numl)er  of  noteworthy  estab- 
lishments, but  the  one  to  which  reference  will  be  especially 
directed  in  this  instance  is  that  of  W.  A.  Lahr,  and  whose  like- 
ness is  portrayed  above.  Although  still  a  young  man.  just 
entering  the  prime  of  life,  he  is  widely  experience<l.  having 
siHMit  a  number  of  his  cariier  years  in  ac<|uiring  a  thorough 
knowle«lge  of  the  business  in  high  grade  clear  Havana  manu- 
facturing establishments  of  Florida.  He  is  regarded  as  an  ex- 
pert judge  of  tobacco  <|uality.  and  in  the  blending  of  the  weed 
which  is  indeed  an  art  that  not  all  manufacturers  have  ever 

mastered. 

As  a  skillful  cigar  manufacturer  Nfr.  Lahr  has  a  reputation 
that  is  indeed  enviable.  It  is  said  that  he  can  roll  up  the  most 
difficult  shape  as  dexterously  as  the  average  cigarmaker  in  his 
section  of  the  country  would  display  in  the  making  of  a  cheaper 
product.  The  employees  of  the  Lahr  factory,  therefore,  have 
the  advantage  of  a  proficient  tutor  and  his  customers  have  un- 
doubtedly also  recognized  in  the  Lahr  product  a  noticeable  de- 
gree of  superior  workmanship,  as  a  result  of  the  personal  super- 
vision of  Mr.  T^ihr  in  the  manufacturing  department. 

Mr.  Lahr  began  the  manufacture  of  cigars  at  Red  Lion 
some  years  ago  in  a  very  mo<lest  way  and  by  <lint  of  energy 
and  personal  enterprise  he  has  built  up  a  sub'^tantial  business, 
and  in  which  he  is  giving,  we  have  rea'^on  to  believe,  entire  sat- 
isfaction to  a  large  number  ni  wholesale  houses  who  are  hand- 
ling his  product.  Factory  facilities  have  had  to  be  increased 
at  frequent  intervals  in  order  to  meet  the  growing  demand  for 
the  goods  and  by  year«  of  patient  industry,  guided  by  sound 
commercial  principjes  he  has  won  h\<  way  into  the  front  rank 
as  a  progressive  manufacturer.

Volume  of  Cigars  Manufacldrcd  Shows  Decrease^  Changes  Announced 

Cincinnati,  February  ii. 

(  (  ()KDiN(i  U)  the  U.  S.  Internal  Kcvinuc  report  in 
tin  tii>t  (  >liio  l)i>tritt  for  the  nmntli  of  January, 
tliere  lias  heen  a  slij^iit  decrease  in  the  outjuit  of 
ri^'ars  an«l  a  small  increase  in  the  (»uti)Ut  <>f  tobacco 
as  coniparecl  with  the  previous  month.  Ihe  rejxirt  shows  that 
the  opening,'  ni<»nth  oi  the  year  was  a  very  (juiet  one  f<jr  the 
industry  here.  The  decrease  in  the  uulput  «>f  manufactured 
tobacco,  especially  scrap  chewing  tobacco,  as  compared  with 
Jaimary,   vnf^j,  is  held  res|)onsible   for  the  shrinkage  in  coik-c- 

tit>ns. 

.Many  n^^v  factories  rep<»rt  more  orders  on  hand  than 
at  tile  corres|>ondin^'  period  in  many  years  previous  and  a 
lualtiiy  revival  of  business  is  expected  as  the  year  procuresses. 

The  total  collections  of  the  internal  revenue  in  this  district  foi 
January    amounted    to   $JJ2.3!i.<>-\   as   compared    with   $233." 

iioSo  iur  the  correspon«linj;  month  of  last  year. 

During'  the  past  fortni^^ht  retail  dealers  have  noticed  im- 
provement in  busness,  an  early  recovery  from  the  slumj)  tol- 
Iowiji).(  the   heavy   trade  before  the   holidays,   which   is  appre- 

ciatt'd. 

The  losi'ph  k.  iVebles  Sons  Company  has  recently  taken 
the  a^fiu-y  for  the  "Charter"  ci^'ar.  the  Jeadinj,'  brand  of  K. 
M.  Schwarz  Company  of  New  ^'ork.  President  J.  li.  Wer- 
tjuim  of  tliis  firm  has  been  in  the  city  for  several  days. 

A  voluntary  bankruptcy  jHtition  has  been  filed  in  the  C. 
.'^.  District  (  oii'rt  by  John  11.  Kohrer  of  Germantowii.  ()..  a 
tobacco  dealer  and  farmer  and  a  brother  of  David  Kohrer,  a 
ilistiller  «.f  that  t<»wn.  who  is  also  bankrupt.  The  petition  states 
that  l\<»hrer  ^ij^nnl  accommodation  paper  for  his  bankrupt 
brother.  David,  to  the  extent  of  $8(),6(x;.  The  total  indebled- 
m>s  of  Jobn  II.  Kohrer  is  placed  at  Si23.774.><i.  His  real 
estate  consists  «.f  a  homestead  tract,  a  leaf  tobacco  warelK.use 
and  a  farm,  with  a  total  value  of  $437^.  »"*>''t  of  it  heavily 
mortj^a^ed.  Tlure  is  on  hand  a  stock  of  leaf  tobacco  valued  at 
$41 H).  an<l  horses  ami  mules  valued  at  $1,300. 

There  is  every  indication  at  present  that  the  strike  of  the 
^irl  cij^armakers  will  be  settled  within  a  few  days.  Xej,M)tia- 
lioiis  have  been  hehl  for  some  time  between  representatives  of 
the  i.peratives  an<l  the  firms  with  whom  they  ha%c  had  griev- 
ances. 

b'rank  Dillin^s.  a  cigar  salesman  of  Troy,  O.,  was  bound 
nver  to  the  grand  jury  by  Police  Ju<lge  P.odc  on  the  charge  of 
embe/./ling  S4(x)  fn.m  the  Ullman-Dreifus  Company,  cigar  deal- 
ers of  h'.ast  Third  street.  Simon  Ullman  a|)i)eared  in  court  and 
stated  that  he  would  n(»t  prosecute  the  salesman.  Judge  Bode, 
however,  refused  to  dismiss  the  case  and  Dillings  waived  cxam- 
inaton. 

Stogie  Industry  CiRowing. 

Cincinnati  is  fast  becoming  a  stogie  town,  and  bids  fair  to 
rival  Pittsburgh  in  this  respect.  Since  the  introduction  some 
months  ago  of  the  Luckc  stogie,  manufactured  by  the  J.  II. 
Lucke  Company,  this  variety  of  smoke  has  become  more  popu- 
lar than  has  ever  been  known  here.  Mr.  f.ucke  states  that  the 
sales  of  his  stogies  have  increased  every  month  since  their 
introduction  on  the  market.  Operatives  at  the  factory  on 
Court  street  are  kept  busy  at  all  times.  ^Tost  of  the  sales  are 
confmed  to  this  city,  although  an  effort  will  be  inade  shortly  to 
introduce  the  stogie  in  other  cities.

Russians  Smoking  Better  Cigars. 

.^s  indicating  the  various  types  and  f|uantities  of  cigar': 
made  in  Russia,  the  latest  report  of  U.  S.  Consul  General  Snod- 
grass,  of  Moscow,  is  quite  interesting.  He  says  that  the  to- 
bacco used  in  the  manufacture  of  cigars  in  Rus<;ia  is  partly 
grf>wn  in  the  count rv  from  American  seed*?,  but  the  best  cigars 
and  the  wrappers  (►f  the  inferior  jrrades  are  made  from  tobacco 
imported,  in  the  main,  from  the  Cm'ted  States  and  Cuba.  The 
bulk  of  the  home  tobacco  is  produced  in  Chernigov  and  Samara. 
In  i<7(>.^  the  factories  engaged  in  the  manufacture  f»f  cigars  num- 
bered 22.  the  number  of  cigars  produced  being  144.331.700.  and 
the  amotmt  of  tobacco  used  T,3.^7/>5''>  pounds,  as  compared  \\\\h 
144.040,271  cigars  and  1.3^.=;. 532  pounds  for  the  year  previous. 

Of  the  cigars  manufactured.  80  per  cent,  ranged  in  price 
fwholesale'l  from  S7  cents  to  $1.13  per  too;  four  per  cent,  from 
$1.15  to  $1.55 ;  and  iT)  per  cent,  over  Si. 55.  It  should  he  noted 
however,  that  cigars  are  consumed  chiefly  by  the  foreign  popu- 
lation of  Russia,  as  indicated  in  the  large  number  of  factories 
in  the  Baltic  pnn'inces — Poland  and  the  two  capitals.  Moscow 
and  St.  Petersburg.  The  ancient  Russians  onlv  knew  the  pipe, 
using  the  grade  of  tobacco  called  Makhorka.  In  TO08  the  pro- 
duction of  this  grade  aggregated  about  144.000.000  pounds. 
The  use  of  this  inferior  grade  of  tobacco  is  becoming  gradually 
less,  through  the  introduction  of  the  cigarette,  which  is  pop- 
ular with  all  classes.  Tn  addition  to  the  sale  of  cigarettes,  32.- 
760.000  pounds  of  tobacco  were  sold  for  so-called  home-made 
cigarettes ;  that  is  to  say.  the  smoker  buys  the  tobacco,  casing, 
etc..  and  makes  the  cigarette  himself. 

A  revenue  tax  has  now  been  levied  upon  cigarette  casings, 
so  that  in  the  future  it  will  be  possible  to  establish  exactly  the 
record  of  consumption  of  the  home-made  article.  As  Russia's 
production  of  tobacco  is  inadequate  and  the  deficiency  must  he 
made  up  by  importations,  the  I 'nited  States  contributing  largely, 
but.  as  in  other  exports,  selling  through  commission  houses  in 
Hamlnirg  and  Bremen. 

Last  Lot  of  1906-7   Burley  Sold. 

The  last  lot  of  the  TO06-7  Burley  pool  was  disposed  of  at 
auction  by  the  Burley  Tobacco  Society  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  last 
week,  when  88  hogsheads  were  sold.

I  y^  I  TEK  rather  a  tlull  siege  during  the  last  month,  the 
L/^  «^'it>  business  i.s  n<nv  beginiung  to  pick  up  i|uite  n<>tice- 
IKJ^I  'ibly.  and  what  doubts  there  were  about  the  outlook 
lor  this  year  are  ra[)idly  clearing  away.  Most  retail- 
ers are  now  building  considerable  l.oi>e  upon  the  prospective  re- 
turn of  the  slot  machines,  which  the  city  authorities  have  vir- 
tually promised  shall  be  allowed  upon  the  counters,  under  cer- 
tain restrictions,  within  a  few  weeks.  If  certain  distasteful 
features  arising  from  the  machines  can  be  eliminated,  tliere  is 
no  doubt  that  much  g(K>d  will  result  to  the  trade,  especiallv  in 
the  sale  of  higher-i)riced  cigars,  in  which  there  was  some  fall- 
ing olY  when  tlie  machines  were  banished  last  summer.  The 
comj)aratively  smaller  mnnber  of  men  in  the  business  will  make 
the  benefit  larger  at  the  start  than  it  would  be  otherwise,  but  in 
all  probability  a  gmnl  many  new  stands  will  be  opened  within 
the  ne.xt  few  months,  and  rentals  will  have  a  tendency  to  go

fere»l  a  heavy  loss  by  fire  on  the  morning  of  heb.  2.  The  fire 
originated  in  the  store  of  Morris  P.ros.,  who  occupv  a  portion 
of  I  lorn  i^  Co.'s  buililing  at  34-4<i  Drumm  street,  supposedly 
from  a  defective  flue.  The  damage  to  the  building  was  com- 
paratively small,  but  I  lorn  v*t  Co.  carried  a  stock  valued  at  about 
Sioo.ocx).  most  of  which  was  in  the  basement.  The  place  was 
entirely  flooded  with  water,  .so  tliat  whatever  stock  escaped 
the  flames  was  otherwise  (lestroye<l.  P..  II.  Pendleton,  presi- 
•  lent  of  the  house,  states  that  full  insurance  was  carried.  The 
fire  was  the  worst  that  has  occurred  in  some  time,  lasting  from 
<)  to  10.30  A.  .M.  hive  firemen  were  made  unconscious  by  the 
smoke,  and  one  of  them  is  in  a  serious  c«>ndition.  It  is  stated 
tl'.at  Horn  &  Co.'s  business  will  not  be  interrupted,  as  large  ship- 
ments are  arriving  all  the  time,  and  most  cust«>mers  can  be 
|)romptly  supplied. 

A  new  wh<^lesale  house  in  San  Francisco  is  the  HofTman- 
Moore  Company,  which  has  just  (XTupied  (juarters  at  502  Mis- 
sion street,  near  hirst.  The  firm  is  controlled  by  J.  Hoffman, 
who  has  been  head  salesman  for  Horn  &  Co.  for  several  years, 
and  .Senator  H.  T.  Moore  of  Honolulu.  A  large  branch , will 
Ik?  established  in  the  latter  city,  under  the  immediate  manage- 
ment of  Mr.  M(M»re.  and  Mr.  HofTman  will  cover  his  former 
territory  in  California.  They  will  make  a  specialty  of  the  line 
of  Fitch  P>ros..  of  Cincinnati.  an<l  will  also  carry  lines  of  Her- 
man Warner  &  Son,  and  T.  D.  Hene.  of  York.  Pa.,  in  addition 
to  which  other  lines  will  probably  be  added  in  the  near  future. 

Nearly  five  and  a  half  million  Manila  cigars  have  just  ar- 
rived in  this  city  on  the  steamer  "Mancluiria,"  and  a  considera- 
ble portion  of  this  shipment  will  be  sent  to  the  Eastern  trade. 
Some  diflficulty  is  reported  in  getting  Manila  goods  on  account 
of  the  shortage  of  revenue  stamps  in  the  Islands,  but  it  is  be- 
lieved that  the  l(>cal  brokers  will  have  the  goods  forwarded  and 
stamped  here,  on  account  of  the  enormous  demand  f<tr  the 
givxls.  Retailers  report  some  improvement  in  the  local  demand, 
which  appeared  to  fall  ofT  for  a  time,  and  Southern  California 
is  now  having  a  big  run  in  this  line. 

About  half  of  the  Manilas  just  arrived  are  for  Castle  Bros. 
Wolf  &  Sons,  who  are  now  taking  large  orders  for  shipment  to 
the  Fast.  The  Fdw.  Wolf  Company  is  also  getting  in  enough 
of  these  lines  to  supply  some  of  the  Eastern  demand.  H.  L. 
Tudell  &  Co.  have  received  a  large  lot.  but  so  far  they  have  not 
had  enough  stock  to  go  far  outside  of  their  regular  Coast  trade.

Some  excitement  has  been  caused  here  by  the  seizure  of 
considerable  f|uantities  of  Manila  goods.  Several  lots  of  cigar- 
ettes, one  amounting  to  a  million,  have  been  seized  on  account 
of  a  misunderstanding  as  to  the  proper  valuation  oji  which  the 
revenue  should  be  based,  and  a  similar  tunnber  of  cigars  were 
confiscated  for  the  .same  reason.

Lancaster  Trade  Dull — January  Shows  Small  Output  —  Leaf  Packers 
Buy  Slowly — Interesting   Trade    Notes. 

LANXASitk,  l*"eb.  12. 
^77^  I  lb'  members  of  the  cigar  trade  in  Lancaster  were  occu- 
[  A  I  pied  for  some  time  during  the  earlier  part  of  the  month 
in  di.scussing  the  great  decrease  in  the  production  of 
cigars  during  the  month  of  January.  Trade  conditions 
tluring  that  month  all  along  seemed  to  be  fairly  good,  and  it 
there  tore  came  as  a  great  surprise  when  the  report  of  the  Col- 
lector of  Internal  Revenue  was  announced  and  with  regard  to 
the  sale  of  cigar  stamps  there  was  a  production  during  the 
month  of  January  of  only  48,790,700  cigars,  which  was  indeed 
the  smallest  record  of  output  of  the  month  of  January  in  ten 
years,  as  is  shown  by  the  foil*  wing  table :

At  tl)e  present  time  factory  conditions  do  not  seem  to  be 
very  bad,  and  there  is  some  reason  to  hope  that  February  will 
show  better  results  proportionately  than  January  did.  It  must 
be  taken  into  consideration,  however,  that  this  month  has  sev- 
eral holidays,  in  addition  to  four  Sundays,  and  that  as  a  matter 
of  fact  there  are  just  21  working  days  in  this  month.  This  is 
sure  to  have  a  certain  etTect  ujKjn  the  production  of  cigars. 

The  leaf  tobacco  packers  are  not  so  much  elated  from  what 
the  writer  can  gather  from  the  ileliveries  which  have  thus  far 
been  made  (»f  this  year's  crop.  In  fact,  there  are  quite  a  num- 
ber of  them  who  are  not  buying  at  all,  and  who  say  they  will 
not  buy  at  prices  which  have  recently  prevailed.  Some  com- 
plaint has  also  been  heard  that  farmers  are  not  sorting  their 
crops  as  carefully  as  might  be  desired,  and  are  inclined  to  let 
filler  tobacco  slip  into  what  should  be  strictly  wrapper  leaf.  A 
good  many  buyers  have  withdrawn  from  the  field,  at  least  tem- 
I^Kjrarily,  to  await  further  developments. 

Julius  \  etterlein  of  Julius  V'ettcrlein  &  Co.,  Philadelphia. 
was  recently  a  visitor  to  his  finn's  local  warehouse  here,  and 
was  also  prospecting  in  the  market  for  some  old  goods.  To  a 
Ton.xcco  WoRi-D  representative,  Mr.  V'etterlein  stated  that  he 
could  find  neither  old  gixuls  which  he  desired  and  that  the  new- 
crops  di<l  not  interest  him  at  the  present  prices. 

John  L.  Brimmer,  of  the  leaf  packing  firm  of  John  P. 
lirimmer  &  Son.  returned  recently  from  a  short  visit  to 
Ohio.  Mr.  P.rimmer  was  not  particularly  impressed  with  the 
giKKls  there  this  year  and  decided  that  for  the  present,  at 
least,  he  would  make  no  purchases,  and  returned  to  this  city. 
The  old  goods  of  this  firm  have  been  pretty  well  soUl  out  and 
ju>t  recently  several  hundred  cases  were  di>i)o.sed  of,  which 
reduced  tl.eir  holdings  to  a  minimum. 

I.  W.  lirenneman  has  lately  been  receiving  several  crops 
of  tobacco  which  were  bought  early  in  the  season,  and  which 
a  cursorv  inspection  would  indicate  as  being  very  desirable 
crops.  .Mr.  lirenneman  has  practically  M.ld  out  all  his  old  goo<ls

i  r\\  '  '  ^  *  1^IS1:NL()HR  tK-  BROS.,  of  I'hiladelphia,  a  few 
I  yy  J     days  ago  ac<|uired  title  to  a  property  located  at  the 
lUP^n     northwe>^t  corner  of  S.  ( ieorge  street  and  Boundary 
^^^     avenue,  which  belonge«l  to  the  estate  of  Henry  Bier 


man,  deceased.  Jt  is  staled  that  it  is  proposed  to  erect  upon  the 
site  an  immense  cigar  factory  buiMing  which  will  portray  a 
fine  architectural  elVect.  The  plot  covers  a  space  of  83  feet 
on  (Jeorge  street  and  230  feet  on  I'oundary  avenue.  This  fac- 
tory, when  completed,  it  is  stated,  will  be  one  of  the  largest 
which  the  hrm  has  in  its  total  number  of  sixteen.  The  con- 
struction will  be  of  a  highly  sanitary  nature  and  thoroughly 
modern  in  every  respect.  The  building  will  afford  employ- 
ment for  over  500  hands  and  work  on  the  erection  of  the  new 
building  will  be  pushed  vigorously. 

H.  j.  Roth  ^  Co.,  of  McSlierrystown,  informs  us  that 
they  have,  since  the  new  year,  booked  some  large  (orders  and 
that  their  factorv  is  being  «»perate(!  with  a  full  force  of  cigar- 
makers.  J'his  hrm  has  met  with  considerable  success  in  the 
past  few  years,  and  is  now  among  the  larger  active  factories  at 

that  place. 

The  McSherryst<»wn  C  igar  Company,  under  the  direction 

t»f  H.  J.  Roth,  is  making  <|uite  a  success  of  their  "Judge  ALir- 

tin"  and  several  other  brands  of  cigars,  especially  along  the 

j'acihc  Coast  States.     .All  the  productions  of  this  factory  bear 

the  label  of  the  Cigarmakers'  International  Union  of  America. 

Chas.  K.  Miller,  who  as  the  maker  of  "Pure  Grit"  brand 

of  union-made  cigars,  has  won  a  wide  reputation,  reports  that 

certainly  his  trade  has  been   i'lcreasiug  in  volume,  especially 

from  Pacific  Coast  points.     There  has  been  no  recession  in 

activities  since  the  new  year  set  in. 

I.  C,.  McKinuey's  Son,  also  of  ^TcSherrystown,  announce 
that  their  business  has  been  improving  quite  nicely.  They  are 
makers  of  a  brand  called  "President's  Taste,"  which  is  retailed 
at  10  cents,  and  there  appears  to  be  (|uite  a  run  on  ^he  brand. 

Jacob  Winter,  a  member  of  the  cigar  firm  of  R.  W.  Spotz 
&  Co.,  at  Red  Lion,  has  retunied  from  a  business  trip  through 


the  \\  extern  part  of  the  blate,  wiiich  was  lii:>  initial  trip  to  that 
section  ol  the  country,  and  he  is  higl.ly  elated  with  the  results 

obtained. 

Walter  B.  llostetter  &  Co.  recently  moved  into  their  new 
head(iuarters  at  31  L.  I'hiladelphia  .street.  Their  oftices  are 
easily  among  the  handsomest  in  this  city,  and  their  warehouse 
facilities  have  also  been  greatly  increased. 

After  remaining  at  his  oltice  just  long  enough  to  repack 
and  replenish  a  full  line  of  bami)les,  H.  U.  Bla^ser,  of  H.  G. 
i;iasser  &  Co.,  left  again  on  Sunday  for  another  trip  W  est.  He 
had  just  returned  from  a  Hying  visit  through  W  e.stern  I'eiui- 
.sylvania,  W  est  \  irginia  and  a  portion  of  Ohio.  It  was  one 
of  the  best  trips  he  ever  had,  he  .said. 

I'or  some  time  past  Jos.  Kauffman,  of  A.  Kauftman  & 
Bro.,  cigar  box  manufacturers,  has  been  in  poor  health.  He 
had  been  under  .special  treatment  at  a  W  erneraville  (I'a.) 
sanitarium  for  several  weeks,  but  improvement  was  slow  and 
recently  he  returned  to  his  home  in  York.  His  ccnulitioii  is 
not  regarded  as  critical,  but  he  is  still  confined  to  the  house. 

The  "Billy  I'ossum"  5-ceut  cigar  is  last  becoming  one  of 
the  most  popular  brands  made  by  Warren  Beck  &  liro.,  of 
York.  These  goods  have  been  successfully  placed  with  a  num- 
ber of  active  distributors  with  whom  they  have  become  trade 
makers  and  duplicates  are  coming  in  steadily. 

X.  Gilleii,  leaf  packer  of  this  city,  has  been  for  some  time 
past  in  the  Wisconsin  leaf  markets  making  some  extensive  pur- 
chases. 

When  last  heard  from  R.  M.  Craiiat,  of  Robt.  .\L  Grauat 
&  Co.,  of  York,  was  having  a  go(xl  business  in  leaf  tobacco 
among  the  Detroit  houses. 

It  is  reported  here  that  Raymond  A.  Heiland,  of  John  F. 
Heiland  ^V  Co.,  leaf  brokers  of  Lancaster,  l*a.,  recently  made  a 
•sale  in  York  of  100  boxes  fancy,  table  *s«)rted  Ziminer  Spanish 
tobacco.     This  is  among  the  largest  sales  of  this  kind  recently 

reported. 

J.  Kosminsky,  formerly  a  resident  representative  of  the 
Kraus-McFarlin  Co..  growers  and  packers  of  Florida  tobacco, 
but  who  some  months  ago  left  York,  lias  returned  to  this  city, 
and  we  understand  he  will  represent  in  this  section  S.  R<jssin 
&  Sons,  of  New  York. 

T.  D.  llcnc,  leaf  dealer  of  this  city,  has  been  spending 
several  days  in  New   York  City  lately. 

W.  M.  Gemmill.  a  well-known  \<l'<\  Li<»n  tobacco  dealer, 
has  recently  returned  from  a  purchasing  ex|)e(liti(»n  through 
Wi.sconsin  and  where  he  succeeded  in  procuring  several  car 
loads  of  choice  leaf. 

H.  F.  Martin  Cigar  Omipany  at  York  has  experienced 
during  tlie  past  two  weeks  the  largest  shipments  of  cigars  that 
they  made  since  coming  into  York  city.  The  demand,  it 
appears,  is  for  their  "Keen-Kutter"  brand.  These  goods 
are  being  now  widely  exploited  and  an  immense  trade  is 
beginning  to  come  their  way. 

J.  A.  Shuhart.  a  well  and  favorably  known  cigar  broker 
of  York,  has  returned  from  an  extended  trip  W^est.  during 
which  time  sales  affected  exceed  the  volume  of  business  which 
he  has  ever  done  upon  any  previous  trip.  He  is  now  contem- 
plating a  trip  South.

The  general  report  among  leaf  tohacco  houses  of  Philadelphia  is 
that  trade  has  lately  fallen  ..tT  considerahle.  aUhough  a  few  saK-smen

secti.ms  they  visited  were  not  at  all  favorable  to  making  sales  of  large 
lots  of  g..ods.  Salesmen  visiting  this  city  were  miamnums  in  declaring 
that  n..  inducements  which  they  could  ..flfer  at  present  seeme«  suth-

Trices  received  by  tobacco  growers  for  their  crops  this  year  ha\e 
\aned  from  lo  to  15  cents.  It  is  probably  due  to  this  fact  that  com 
plaints  have  been  so  strong  about  poor  prices  received.  I  he  tanner

Havana,   I'cbruary   7lh,    I'^iu. 

#•  .^  AW  leaf  buyers,  as  well  as  cigar  importer^  have  ar- 
[IW  J  rived  al  Havana  during  the  past  fortniglit.  I'nfor- 
iffiPjl  liniately  it  seems  as  far  a^  tlie  t<»l)aeco  trade  is  ccju- 
cerned,  that  si»uie  of  the  visitt>rs  were  intent  upon 
looking  for  goods  which  iiad  alrea<ly  disapi>eared  from  our 
market.  \\  hile  the  'rami>a  inaiuifacturer^  have  al>o  been  here 
in  number,  they  have  come  more  for  the  purpose  «d'  convincing 
themselves  about  the  actual  state  of  the  coming  crop,  by  per- 
sonal visits  to  the  t(»bacco  growing  section,  than  to  stock  up 
heavily.  Naturally,  they  have  not  neglected  to  look  over  (.ur 
market  and  i)icke<l  uj)  some  goods  which  they  could  use. 

Keme«lios  tobacco,  as  well  as  heavy  styles  of  \  uelta  Ahiiy) 
and  Semi-Xuelta,  have  been  principally  in  demand  by  mami- 
facturers  of  mixed  cigars  and  American  dealers  who  were  in 
need  of  sfmic  to  sui)ply  themselves  f<^r  their  customers.  Stocks 
are  still  plentiful,  if  the  number  of  bales  are  counted,  but  the 
coming  buyers  nuist  n(»t  be  too  exacting  in  their  pretentions. 
Choice  goods  do  not  alxAUid  any  longer,  and  owners  of  such 
X'egas  are  very  stitT.  while  the  medium  styles  which  are  offered 
upon  m<»re  reasonable  terms  either  lack  something  in  curing 
still,  or  are  a  trifle  t<.o  mil<l,  as  well  as  being  of  a  shorter  leaf  and 
not  packed  as  clean.  If  the  coming  crop  should  be  .shorter  in 
(juantity  and  higher  in  price,  then  the  remainder  of  the  19OJ 
growth  is  bound  to  sell  more  readily  and  all  present  defects 
will  be  overlooked.  lUit  this  will  all  depend  up(»n  the  (leman<l 
in  tlie  United  States  by  the  clear  Havana  cigar  manufacturers, 
as  well  as  l)y  the  seed  and  Havana  factories,  how  the  future 
course  of  our  market  may  shape  itself. 

Prospfxts  for  Tin-:  Crop. 

Up  to  this  time  the  aspect  of  the  new  crop  was  by  no  means 
promising.  The  drv  weather  in  the  X'uelta  Abajo  has  done 
harm  by  arresting  the  growth  of  the  plants  in  some  of  the 
famous'lowland  districts,  such  as  San  Luis,  and  San  Juan  y 
Martinez.  The  exceptions  are  to  be  found  only  ujum  the  larger 
plantati(»ns,  where  the  owners  had  gone  to  the  expense  ..f  con- 
structing irrigation  plants.  The  tobacco  in  the  Rio  Hondo  dis- 
trict should  be  excellent.  h<nvever,  and  also  in  the  remates  sec- 
tion, as  well  as  part  of  Lomas. 

As  it  has  rained  around  Consolacion  del  Sur  and  the  so- 
called  Semi-Vuelta  region  the  crop  may  be  good  and  large.  In 
general,  the  dilTerent  sections  of  the  Partidos  present  a  more 
satisfactorv  outlook,  as  irrigation  is  practiced  by  the  larger 
planters,  and  the  small  X'egueros  have  been  brought  up  m  tin. 
handling  of  the  primitive  watering  pots.  As  water  is  more 
caMlv  t..  be  ha<l  than  in  \'uelta  Abajo,  the  farmers  and  their 
familiesareallhelpingtoi,uench  the  thirst  of  the  gn»wing  plants. 
Of  course,  the  rainfall  is  preferable  but  in  case  of  need,  the 
artificial  watering  will  answer.  The  weather  clerk  also  helped 
several  localities  with  a  light  shower. 


Reports  from  the  Remedios  or  Santa  Clara  province  are 
mixed.  Some  places  report  a  fair  frop  and  others  a  poor  one, 
but  as  this  class  of  leaf  is  usually  a  month  later  than  in  the 
V'uelta  Abajo.  there  is  still  a  chance  of  improvement,  if  only 
one  or  two  rainfalls  should  come  this  month. 

Sales  amounted  to  15,089  bales,  which  represent  5,881 
X'uelta  Abajo  and  Semi-\  uelta,  650  Tartitlo  and  8,558  bales 
of  Remedios.  American  buyers  purchased  11,521,  exjxjrters 
f(jr  luirope  1,235,  local  cigarette  and  cigar  manufacturers  2.333 
bales.  I'lxports  of  leaf  tc^bacco  from  the  Port  of  Havana  from 
January  i6th  to  January  29th,  inclusive,  1910,  were: 

To  all  ports  of  the  United  States 9,671  bales. 

To  all  ports  of  Europe 1,204 

To  Buenos  Ayrcs  and  Montevideo 194 

Total  1 1,069  Bales.

Lack  of  Orders  Afffxts  F.xctories. 
Havana  cigar  manufacturers  are  stil  complaining,  and  they 
have  a  right  to  do  so,  as  far  as  want  of  sufficient  orders  are 
concerned.  The  majority  of  our  factories  were  compelled  to  re- 
duce their  forces,  so  that  about  only  one-half  of  the  cigarmakers 
are  working.  Only  the  very  largest  of  our  independent  factories 
are  forming  any  exception  to  this  nde.  To  better  the  cigar 
industr}'  there  seems  no  other  help  except  to  make  special 
treaties  with  the  chief  countries  which  import  Havana  cigars 
and  to  accomplish  this,  we  need  dij)lomacy  and  time.  Dis- 
criminating, and  tariffs  raised  to  almost  the  prohibition  point, 
have  been  the  chief  causes  of  the  retrograde  movement  in  our 
factories.  The  new  year  has  also  commenced  with  a  big  short- 
age again  as  the  following  exports  will  show,  viz. : 

From  January  ist  to  January  15th,  1909 5,029,143  Cig. 

From  January  ist  to  January  15th,  1910 2,173,323  Cig. 

Decrease  in  1910.  viz: 2,855,820  Cig. 

Henry  Clay  &  Bock  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  are  well  supplied  with 
orders  and  are  working  with  full  forces  considering  the  time 
of  the  year.  Don  Gustavo  Rock  had  quite  a  sever  attack  of  the 
"grippe."  but  is  fortunately  vastly  improved  so  that  he  will  at- 
tend the  business  again  to-morrow. 

Sol  does  not  complain,  although  Behrens  &  Co.  are  truth- 
fully admitting  that  they  could  fill  more  orders  just  now  with 
prompt  dispatch.  Other  busy  factories  are:  Romeo  y  Julieta, 
I\irtagas.  \^iuda  de  Jose  Gener,  (La  Escepcion)  and  H.  Up- 
mann. 

Buying,  Selling  and  Other  Notes  of  Interest. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzales  sold  2,210  bales  in  the  past  fort- 
night. This  sterling  house,  which  has  been  in  existence  since 
1868,  at  116  Principe  Alfonso  street,  has  finally  moved  into 
its  superbly  constructed  new  edifice,  152-158  Industria  street, 
on  January  28th,  and  your  correspondent  had  the  pleasure  of 
being  shown  the  whole  interior  of  this  modern  tobacco  ware- 
house, from  the  cellar  to  the  top  story  in  the  rear  of  the  building. 
To  get  an  approximate  idea  of  it,  the  following  figures  may 
elucidate  the  readers  of  The  Tobacco  World.  It  stands  upon 
a  plot  of  ground  of  about  43x43  meters  of  1,179  meters  square 
inside,  extending  on  Barcelona  street  the  same  front  as  on  Indus- 
tria street ;  it  was  built  of  stone  and  iron  exclusively,  excepting 
f)nly  the  between  decks  which  are  partly  of  wood.  The  height 
of  the  building  is  7  meters  in  front,  and  in  the  rear  there  are 
two  stories  for  the  clerks  and  porters  of  the  house.  The  old 
established  custom  of  the  firm  to  give  their  employees  board 
and  lodging  has  been  retained,  and  their  quarters  are  large,  airy 
and  comfortable,  iron  beds  having  supplanted  the  old  "catres" 
or  hard  cots.  The  dining  room  table  is  now  accupied  by  22 
people  employed  by  the  house,  and  easily  35  could  be  seated. 
The  office  is  furnished  in  mahogany  and  shows  up  well. 

The  cellar  will  hold  2.000  bales,  and  the  whole  capacity  of 
the  warehouse  is  from  25,000  to  30,000  bales,  according  to  the 
height  necessary  for  the  piling  of  them.    This  makes  it  one  of 


the  largest  tobacco  warehouses  I  know  of,  as  far  as  capacity 
is  concerned.  There  are  no  >niall  nH.nis.  ami  all  the  bales  are 
stored  in  a  large  j^allery  which  is  nnuiini^  along  the  wlu>le  build- 
ing, excepting  the  otTice  part,  and  tw..  lar^e  "patios"  or  courts, 
but  tobacco  can  also  be  laid  out  in  the  j^alleries  for  inspection. 
The  ventilatiiMi  is  perfect,  every  modern  ijupnnement.  such  as 
electricity  for  lighting,  as  well  as  hot  and  cold  water,  up-to-date 
baths  and  toilet^,  and  floors  of  mosaic  tiles. 

John  X.  Kolb  was  a  buyer  *^i  1.750  bales.  .Mlu-rt  W.  Kaf- 
fenburgh  who  went  to  Manicaraguc  to  inspect  the  large  planta- 
tions of  I.  KatTenburgh  &  Sons  was  also  accompanied  by  \V.  N. 
Fisher,  of  Alles  i't  I'isher,  of  Boston,  as  well  as  their  broker, 
F.  R.  McDermott,  of  New  York.  They  riturne«l  last  week 
well  pleased  with  the  outlook  of  the  comin^r  crop.  .Mc  Fisher 
purchased  1.858  bales  of  the  i(X>)  Kemedios  crop  and  thinks 
highly  of  this  growth,  as  regards  fine  aroma  and  good  taste. 
From  a  good  authority,  it  is  rej^trted  that  1.  KalTmburgh  & 
Sons  made  many  other  sales  in  ll.ivana  and  Cionfuegos.  which 
amoiHited  to  several  tlxnisautl  of  bales  adilitional  io  their  large 
and  steadfast  clientele. 

Suarez  Hns.  have  a  very  fine  crop  upon  their  Rio  Hondo 
plantation,  and  it  is  asserted  that  there  will  1k'  no  better  crop 
this  year  in  the  19 10  growth. 

Celestino  Medio  disposed  of  1. 240  bales  during  the  past  two 
weeks.  Henry  Fisher,  of  .\.  Cohn  vS:  Co.,  was  a  buyer  of  1,100 
bales  i^i  leaf  tobacco.  l-"ernando  I'\Tnandez  &•  Hns.  closed  out 
841  bales  of  X'uelta  .\bajo.  W.  H.  X'ocinn  is  state<l  to  have 
purchased  over  i,ax)  bales  of  Remedios.  Percez  Hns.  made 
transactions  amounting  to  800  l)ales  of  Remeclios. 

David  del  Monte  has  made  s«>me  purchases  already  atnl 
is  still  on  the  warpath  looking  f(^r  more  goods. 

Gonzalez  y  P.enitez  were  sellers  of  750  bales  of  Remedios 
and  X'uelta  .\bajo.  h'elix  Fckerson  is  credited  with  purcha>es 
of  400  bales  of  leaf  tobacco.  I'erez  and  C^beso  sold  700  bales  of 
X'uelta  .\bajo.  Max  Flkati  made  some  fair-sized  purcliases 
for  his  fimi  of  E.  Younj.,die.irt  i't  Co.  Migml  Gulierrez  was 
reported  having  sold  ^»oci  hale^  of  Remedios  and  X'uelta  Abajo. 

I'Vank  R.  Diaz  has  jiurchased  600  bales  of  X'uelta  Abajo 
and  Partido.  Successors  of  M.  Menendez  closed  out  500  bale.i 
from  their  stock  during  the  past  fortnight. 

N.  E.  Guedelia  was  (juite  a  prominnit  buyer  in  the  market. 

A.  M.  Calzada  y  Co.  .sold  382  bales  of  all  kinds  of  leaf  and 
some  large  transactions  are  still  pending  with  several  custom- 
ers of  theirs. 

Paul  Meyer,  with  H.  rpmami  Si.  Co.,  left  on  Saturday  la«^t. 
January  29th,  per  S.  S.  Havana  for  Bremen.  Germany,  via  New 
York,  to  recuperate  his  health,  and  we  hope  he  will  soon  return 
thoroughly  restored.

Trade    Lively    in    Michigan. 
Increasing    Demand    for  Cigars  and    Manufactured  Tobacco    Noted. 

Dktroit,  I'Vbniary   ii. 

•^  1  I"Tk(  )Vy  aii<l  Michigan  tobacco  nianufacturcrs  report 
I  J  an  increasing'  dcniaiKl  for  various  gi-adcs.  (icnninc 
jSS{  winter  has  prevailed  (hirinj,'  the  past  few  weeks,  and 
^^^  while  the  cold  weather  has  been  detrimental  to  many 
lines  of  business,  the  tobacco  trade  has  improved.  For  a  period 
following'  the  holidays  there  was  a  lull,  but  this  has  worn  away, 
and  the  probabilities  are  the  present  demand  will  crmtinue  for 
some  weeks. 

Tlie  dilYerent  ci^^r  manufacturers  report  a  pjood  tra<le. 
\o  difhculty  is  experience*!  in  placing  goods  and  some  fac- 
tories report  overtime  in  an  effort  to  keep  even  with  orders. 
One  thing  which  interests  local  manufacturers  is  the  apparent 
inability  of  State  railroa«ls  to  properly  handle  freight.  While 
conditions  are  not  (juitc  .so  bad  in  Detroit  yards  now,  there  is 
yet  considerable  room  for  improvement,  and  until  roads  suc- 
ceed in  moving  consignments  with  >>ome  degree  of  speed  uncer- 
taitity  will  prevail. 

The  wholesale  and  retail  demands  also  .show  an  improve- 
ment. The  various  downtown  stores  report  a  good  transient 
trade. 

James  R.  \'an  \'echten,  secretary  of  the  transportation  de- 
partment of  the  Detroit  Board  of  Commerce,  has  returned 
from  the  San  Antonio  meeting  of  the  Western  Classification 
Committee,  with  the  pleasing  news  that  Detroit  cigar  manufac- 


turers will  be  permitted  to  retain  the  packages  which  have  been 
used  in  shipping  cigars  to  the  far  West,  with  a  change  to  a  tin 
seal.  Since  the  agitation  was  started  by  Detroit  manufacturers 
conditions  have  changed,  and  they  are  now  able  to  obtain  tin 
seals  at  reasonable  prices.  15esides  retaining  the  old  packages, 
ihey  have  l>een  given  the  privilege  «>!  using  another  kind  of 
package  if  they  so  desire. 

By  allowing  manufacturers  and  merchants  to  become  ac- 
customed, by  degrees,  to  the  new  State  demand,  the  Michigan 
State  Factory  Insi)ection  lUircau  has  caused  warrants  for  but 
three  violations  of  the  54-hour-a-week  labor  law,  which  went 
into  etYect  last  September.  Cigar  and  tobacco  manufacturers 
were  keen  sufl'erers  from  the  law,  and  it  is  to  the  credit  of 
the  trade  that  warrants  have  not  been  issued  for  any  tobacco 
manufacturers. 

Despite  the  spread  of  the  local  option  wave  in  Michigan, 
more  tobacco  stamps  were  sold  through  the  Detroit  Intenial 
Revenue  Office  during  January,  1910,  than  in  January,  1909. 
Cigars  made  the  greatest  January  mark  on  record.  Usually 
the  first  month  in  the  year  is  considered  a  dull  one  for  the  cigar 
manufacturers,  as  many  men  have  stocked  up  cigars  on  Christ- 
mas, ])ut  this  year  the  factories  turned  out  an  increased  num- 
ber. The  January,  191  o.  total  was  $62,759,  and  the  January, 
19CK),  figure,  $48,865.  Tobacco  increased  from  $64,138  to 
$102,696. 

There  have  been  rumors,  in  Bay  City,  that  the  United 
Cigar  Stores  Company  was  endeavoring  to  gain  a  foothold  in 
the  municipality.  It  was  recently  reported  the  company  would 
take  over  the  store  owned  by  C.  H.  Hill,  but  Hill  denies  this.

American  Sumatra  Merger  Formed. 

Interests  of   Florida  and  Georgia  Growers  Merged   Into  One  Large 
Company — Improvements  in  Culture  and  Handling  Promised. 

A|\    improvement   in  the  cultivation,   handling  and  niar- 
.      kcting  of  American  Sumatra  tohacco  is  promi>ed  hy 
^ggg       the  merger  into  one  large  corporation  of  the  larger 
growers  and  packers  which  was  finally  consummated 
last  week  after  many  months  of  negotiations. 

The  consolidation  affects  not  only  I'lorida.  hut  (leorgia, 
which  has  a  considerahle  acreage  devoted  to  tohacco  raising,  as 
well,  and  the  new  company,  which  will  he  known  as  the  Ameri- 
can Sumatra  Tohacco  Co.,  was  organized  under  the  laws  of  the 
State  uf  Georgia  with  a  capital  of  $«S.ooo,ooo,  of  which  amount 
Jj?!, 000,000  is  seven  per  cent,  preferred  stock  and  S7 .cxx),()00  is 
common  stock. 

The  final  meeting  of  the  interested  parties  was  held  at  At- 
lanta, Ga.,  on  Wednesday  last,  and  at  which  time  officers  for 
the  coming  year  were  elected  and  are  as  follows:  President, 
A.  Cohn;  vice  president,  D.  A.  Shaw;  secretary,  Leonard  A. 
Cohn ;  treasurer,  hVank  M.  Arguimhau. 

The  new  comhination  is  a  consolidation  of  the  folk •  wing 
houses,  all  of  whom  have  heretofore  heen  ])rominent  in  tohacco 
culture  in  the  South  and  to  whom  is  due  the  credit  for  the  ad- 
vancement thus  made  in  the  industry  in  that  country:  A.  Cohn 
tS:  Co.,  of  Bainhridge,  Ga. ;  Schroeder  &  Arguimhau,  Morida  To- 
hacco Co.,  Lichtenstein  Florida  Tobacco  Co.,  Taussig  &  Co., 
Kraus-McFarlane  Co.,  Wedeles  Bros.,  an<l  the  A.  Wilson  To- 
hacco Co.,  of  (Juincy,  I'^la.  These  interests  it  is  said  represented 
about  two-thirds  of  the  tobacco  growers  in  acreage  in  that  sec- 
tion, and  the  crops  of  1909  of  the  firms  participating  in  the 
merger  movement  have  been  taken  over  hy  the  consolidation  and 
will  be  offered  in  the  market  hy  the  new  company  as  soon  as 
the  packings  can  be  gotten  ready,  probably  about  May  ist. 

Information  of  such  a  movement  came  out  many  months 
ago,  and  on  several  instances  it  was  denied  by  people  now 
shown  to  have  then  been  interested.  At  the  final  meeting  there 
were  present  besides  the  attorneys  oi  the  various  interests  the 
following  interested  members  of  the  trade:  A.  Cohn  and 
Leonard  A.  Cohn,  of  A.  Cohn  &  Co. ;  D.  A.  Shaw,  of  the  h'lor- 
ida  Tobacco  Co.;  Julius  Lichtenstein,  of  the  Lichtenstein  h'lor- 
ida  Tobacco  Co. ;  William  Taussig,  of  Taussig  &  Co, ;  Emil 
W'edele^,  of  Wedeles  liros. ;  Henry  Krauss,  of  Krauss-ATcFar- 
lane  Co.,  and  A.  Wilson,  of  the  A.  Wilson  Tobacco  Co. 

It  was  stated  that  the  chief  object  of  the  new  corporation 
is  the  improvement  of  the  character  of  Florida-(ieorgia  tobacco, 
and  to  market  it  in  the  most  economical  manner  in  order  to  en- 
courage its  use  by  the  cigar  manufacturing  trade.  The  cost  of 
production,  it  is  believed,  can,  under  the  new  order  of  things,  be 
minimized  and  that  after  allowing  a  reasonable  profit  to  the 
company  the  manufacturers  will  be  able  to  secure  a  superior  do- 
mestic wrapper  at  a  moderate  cost. 

Fifty-two  tobacco  warehouses  are  claimed  for  Edgerdon, 
Wis.,  twenty-two  of  which  arc  in  operation,  with  750  sorters. 
When  busiest,  Edgerdon  employs  1500  sorters. 


The  Northampton,  Mass.,  Herald  publishes  a  dozen  or 
more  names  of  tobacco  growers  and  their  acreage  whose  crops 
have  been  refused  by  New  York  brokers  after  purchases  had 
been  agreed  upon. 


One  Snuff  Company  Tries  to   "  Pinch"  Another. 
Till    Between  American  Snuff  Company  and  the   Old     Indian  Snuff 

Mills  Company. 
|11F  Old  Indian  Snuff  .Mills  Co.  is  dclVn.lant  ju>t  now 
m  a  comi)lainl  hnmght  against  them  by  the  .\mericaji 
Snuff  CiK,  which  is  an  adjunct  of  the  American  To- 
bacco C'o.  The  complaint  (»f  the  American  Co.  re- 
lates to  the  word  "Copenhagen. "•  to  a  cut  of  an  American  In- 
<lian  and  to  the  word  -Indian;"  also  to  the  word  -'American" 
a^  applied  and  distributed  by  the  Old  In.lian  d^  \i>plying 
these  names  to  their  products  is  charge<l  to  be  an  infringement 
on  the  part  of  the  Old  Indian  Snuff  Co.  An  injmiction  is 
asked  for  restraining  the  Indian  Snuff  Co.  from  u>ing  the  for- 
bidden brands;  also  an  accounting  of  j)rofits  and  resulting 
damages. 

The  word  "Coi)enhagen"  seems  to  have  been  used  as  early 
as  1830  by  the  W  eymans.  of  I'ittshurgh.  who  snld  i,ut  to  the  .\. 
S.  Co.  a  few  years  ago.  The  Old  In.lian  Co.  market  a  smiff 
called  the  "Co|)enhagen  lUend,"  and  the  u>e  of  the  w.)rd  '•In- 
dian" in  their  title  name  and  on  packages  is  claimed  to  be  hurt- 
ful to  the  A.  S.  Co.  The  picture  of  an  ln<lian  as  a  snutT  brand 
or  trade-mark  came  to  the  .\.  S.  I'o.  from  the  Lorillards. 

The  American  Smitl  Co.  absorbed  a  few  vears  ago  the 
snuff  works  of  Garrett  \-  Sons  and  Stewart  Ralph  i\:  Co.,  of 
Philadelphia;  the  Lorillards,  of  New  York,  and  whatever  snufT 
interest  there  were  in  the  I'nite.l  States  worth  the  swallnwing.

C"~n')X(iKI':SSMA\  \V.  W.    GklKST,  of   the   Lancaster 
^^^      District.  IVniisylvaiiia,  who  has  been  among  the  Icad- 
]$^H      ^'^'^  '"  I'l^"  c-anij)ai^Mi  to  ahohsh  tlie  "standard  of  qual- 
ity"  stamps   on    Manila   cigars,   makes   tlic    following 
statrmriit  in  r('^|)oii>c  tn  a  rc(jui>l  (»t  'I'm-:  'J\)15acco  World: 

"1  am  plt-a.^c-d  to  n(.tc  tiu-  commc-ndahio  interest  shown  by 
'rill.  ToitAcio  WoKi.ij  in  the  issue  created  by  the  use  of  the 
cigar  cxjiort  stamp  on  b<ixes  of  cigars  shipped  from  the  I'hilip- 
pines  t«)  the  I 'nited  States. 

"  The  American  cigar  trade  has  reason  to  believe  that 
early  rcliif  will  come  from  tlie  injmy  which  has  resulted  by 
reasnii  of  the  issuance  of  the  rhilij)jiine  cigar  exj)ort  stamp,  or 
label  a>  some  have  chosen  to  term  it.  After  many  weeks  of 
agitatifiii.  Secretary  Dickinson,  of  the  War  lX'i)artment,  has 
kindly  (Mfered  to  present  the  matter  before  the  I'resident  and 
(  abinet.  and  as  Secretarty  Dickinson  and  Secretary  MacX'eagh, 
of  the  Treasury,  have  realized  tlie  full  signitkance  of  the  j)ro- 
test  against  the  *(|uality  stamps,'  the  tra<le  can  feel  confident 
that  justice  will  be  acconled  and  victory  will  be  theirs. 

"Inasmuch  as  the  cigar  stamp  was  adopted  by  officials  rep- 
resenting the  rhilipj»ine  (iovernment.  as  an  insular  possession 
<»f  the  I 'nite<l  .States,  and  as  both  are  amenable  to  the  I'nited 
States  authority,  it  was  entirely  proper  that  the  executive  of- 
ficials of  the  I'niteil  .States  should  take  C(»gnizance  of  the  ad- 
ministrative act  <»f  the  riiilipj)ine  authorities,  especially  when 
tlie  issue  involved  the  creation  <»f  a  sj)ecial  privilege. 

"ihe  cigar  manufacturers  of  this  country  have  not  been 
imreasonable  in  the  position  which  they  have  assumed  with 
reference  to  the  so-called  government  guarantee  of  the  Phil- 
ij)l)ine  cigars,  but  if  the  government  can  consistently  endorse 
the  tobacco  and  cigars  of  the  Philippines,  it  should  promptly 
arrange  to  give  our  great  tobacco  industry  the  same  righteous 
consideration. 

"\<t  authority  of  law  or  executive  order  has  justified  the 
prej)aration  of  a  stamp  such  as  has  been  issued  in  the  Philip- 
jiines,  and  the  subordinate  employee  of  the  Philippine  lUireau 
of  Internal  Reveiuie  who  prepared  the  cigar  stamp  plainly  ex- 
ceeded his  administrative  and  constitutional  rights. 

"The  onler  as  approved  by  the  Philippine  Secretary  of 
i'inance  and  Justice  stipulates  that  each  package  of  cigars  shall 
have  afiixe<l  *an  official  certificate  in  the  form  of  an  export 
stamp,  on  which  shall  be  shown  the  (|uality  of  the  manufac- 
ture<l  article  t(>  be  graded  in  accordance  with  rules  approved  by 
the  Secretary  of  binance  and  Justice.'  It  is  true  that  this  'of- 
ficial certificate'  created  an  extraordinary  privilege,  and  the 
gentKinan  who  designed  the  stamp  presumed  to  go  the  limit 
l)y  covering  the  em])loyecs  and  factories  as  well  as  the  tobacco 
and  cigars. 


HON.  W.  W.  GRIEST.  M.  C. 


"Immediately  subse(juent  to  the  enactment  of  the  tariff  bill 
last  August,  I  learned  that  the  insular  government  was  pre- 
pared to  issu<,  a  stamp  or  label  for  use  on  boxes  of  Philippine 
cigars  produced  for  shipment  to  the  United  States.  It  was 
difficult  to  obtain  a  copy  of  the  Philippine  order,  but  the  offi- 
cials of  the  Insular  Hureau  of  the  War  Department  cabled  to 
Manila  for  a  copy,  and  it  was  furnished  early  in  February. 

"Prior  to  its  receipt  the  impression  prevailed  that  the  ac- 
tion was  based  upon  an  order  issued  by  the  Governor  General 
of  the  IMiilippines,  although  the  statement  had  gone  broadcast 
to  the  effect  that  it  was  an  act  of  the  Philippine  General  As-

gress, but  both  of  these  views  were  erroneous. 

"The  governmental  assurances  conveyed  by  the  cigar  ex-

tee of  the  Philippine  cigars  should  cease  forthwith." 


How  to  Keep  Cigar  Lids  in  Place. 

A  cigar  lid  holder,  which  keeps  the  lids  at  a  uniform  angle 
and  provides  a  convenient  holder  for  the  price  card,  is  manu- 
facture«l  by  the  Ideal  Cigar  Lid  Holder  Co.,  of  1267  Broadway, 
New  York.  These  holders  have  been  introduced  in  nearly  all 
the  leading  stores  of  the  country  and  their  users  are  the  loudest 
in  the  praise  of  these  up-to-date  fixtures. 

New  Line  of  Nickel  Cigars. 
Wolf  Bros.  &  Co.,  of  Red  Lion,  I'a.,  are  placing  on  the 
market  a  new  line  of  nickel  goods  under  the  brand  names  of 
"Duke  of  Trent"  and  "Harry  Wilton."  They  have  already  en- 
listed the  interest  of  several  live  jobbers,  and  the  sale  has  ex- 
tended clear  to  the  Pacific  Coast.  Mr.  A.  S.  Ziegler,  of  this 
firm,  is  in  charge  of  the  sales  department  and  visits  his  trade 
regularly. 

James  Ilamman,  Jr..  has  started  the  manufacture  of  cigars 
at  his  place  of  business  on  Market  street,  Youngstown,  Ohio. 


The  Epstein  Cigar  and  Tobacco  Company,  of  Minneapo- 
lis, have  been  petitioned  into  bankruptcy  by  Hamburger,  of 
New  York,  and  a  company  at  St.  Louis  and  Tiffin,  Ohio. 

The  signs  are  that  the  Supreme  Court  at  Washington  has 
been  evenly  divided  in  the  matter  of  the  American  Tobacco 
Co.'s  case.  All  of  them  went  out,  doubtless,  for  a  little  half- 
and-half. 

A  Grand  Rapids  judge  has  threatened  to  prosecute  anyone 
giving  a  minor  smoking  tobacco.  He  can  do  so  under  the  new 
State  law. 

R.  R.  Compton  now  owns  a  half  interest  in  the  L.  &  W. 
cigar  factory  in  Riverside,  Elkhart,  Ind. 

A  chain  of  retail  cigar  stores  will  be  opened  in  Norfolk, 
Va.,  by  the  Norfolk  Cigar  Stores,  Incorporated. 


THE  onlooker  has  seen  some  strange  vehicles  for  illicit 
whiskey  in  his  time,  but  the  gelatine  tubes  used  by  a 
West  lN»urteenth  street  cigar  dealer  in  New  York 
lately  has  cai)ped  with  gelatine  anything  before  in- 
vented. The  fre(|uent  calls  at  his  place  of  conductors  and 
motormen  benumbed  with  cold  revealed  the  fact  that  the  cigar 
man  was  selling  what  seemed  to  be  two  cigars  enclosed  in  a 
gelatine  case.  Really  they  were  loaded  with  Old  Rye  and  the 
purchaser  had  oidy  to  unscrew  an  end  and  take  a  swig.  It  was 
real  mean  in  the  sleuths  to  pull  him  in,  but  they  did  and  the 
cigar  man  said  he  was  innocent  in  his  intentions  and  merely 
wanted  to  provide  the  street  car  men  with  a  drop  of  something 
that  would  warm  them  up.  One  thousand  dollar?  bail,  said  the 
magistrate. 

If  tobacco  smokers  and  chewers  were  to  listen  to  all  the 
hints  given  them  they  would  be  buried  beneath  an  avalanche  of 
well  meant  warnings.  I  was  not  a  little  interested  by  a  volume 
called  "Those  Nerves,"  of  which  George  L.  W^alton,  M.  D.,  a 
Massachusetts  doctor  of  distinction,  is  the  author.  Dr.  Walton 
tells  us  that  there  is  such  a  thing  as  tobacco  saturation  and  his 
ail  vice  to  all  sentient  beings  is  that  they  check  up  before  they 
reach  that  stage.  When  a  bucket  is  full  of  water  a  single  drop 
may  cause  an  overflow.  The  Doctor  believes  in  cessation,  tak- 
ing a  rest,  in  short,  when  the  nerves  and  the  heart  are  plainly 
affected.     Some  of  Doctor  Walton's  conclusions  are  these: 

It  is  wrong  to  resort  to  the  "dry  smoke,"  being  a  species  of 
chewing.     If  you  need  to  quit  tobacco  for  a  time,  quit  it. 

The  domestic  cigar  may  be  continued  longer  by  the  sus- 
ceptible and  fragrant  Havana. 

A  light  wrapper  does  not  always  cover  a  mild  filling.  A 
Spanish  Claro  should  not  be  followed  in  estimating  the  effect 
of  the  cigar  upon  the  nervous  system. 

In  lessening  the  amount  of  tobacco  used,  form  the  habit  of 
smoking  a  half  cigar  instead  of  lessening  the  number  of  cigars 
smoked  through.  This  produces  a  glow  of  pride  and  disposes 
of  the  worst  half  of  the  cigar. 

The  bad  effects  of  cigarette  smoking  result  from  frequent 
repetition  and  the  inhaling  of  the  smoke,  rather  than  in  any 
peculiarly  toxic  effect  of  the  cigarette.

Political  economy  and  one's  duty  to  the  Government  as 
taught  by  Yale  College  professors  at  New  Haven  makes  little 
impression  on  makers  of  stogies  in  that  classic  locality.  United 
States  revenue  agents  have  been  quite  busy  of  late  hauling 
people  to  prison  for  forgetting  to  pay  the  tax  on  seductive 
stogies  sold  at  one  cent  each.  Stogie  makers  are  thick  round 
New  Haven,  generally  of  Italian  origin,  and  if  there  is  one 
thing  an  Italian  dislikes  to  give  up,  it  is  tax  money  to  pay  the 
Government.

I  heard  the  other  day  a  good  one  from  Mexico:  An 
American  cowboy  imprisoned  in  Mexico  for  stealing  a  ride  on 
a  freight  train,  was  shoved  into  a  cell  with  six  Mexicans,  all 
of  whom  were  smoking  cigarettes.  In  the  afternoon  he  was  put 
to  street  paving.  For  supper  he  got  red  beans,  boiled  in  plain 
water  and  a  ragged  quilt  to  sleep  on.  The  cigarettes  puzzled 
him  when  he  entered  the  cell,  but  as  he  marched  out  from  the 


jail  the  next  morning  the  cominandante  handed  him  a  small 
coin.  "For  cigarettes."  he  said,  with  an  amiable  wave  of  his 
hand.  The  American  saved  up  his  cigarette  money  and  with 
it  ct»iUrived  to  send  a  message  to  some  friends,  who  came  and 
paid  his  fine  and  got  l.im  out.

William  [.oeb.  collector  of  cust«»ms  at  New  ^^.rk  City,  is 

«)ne  of  the  most  ruthless  and  don't-care-a-d sort  of  cigar 

dealers  in  the  country.  He  just  jerks  uj)  all  sorts  of  fragrant 
cigars,  aromatic  cigarettes  and  choice  Turkish  peril  pies  and 
places  them  under  the  hammer,  especially  when  the  duties  have 
not  been  j)ai(l.  He  would  even  seize  a  lot  of  cigars  consigned 
to  W.  II.  Taft  or  Uncle  Joe  Camion  if  they  were  not  properly 
declared  and  battleship  duties  paid. 

A  sale  of  this  kind  (nrcurred  Feb.  j^rd.  when  144  separate 
lots  were  exposed  for  sale  at  auction.

To  smoke  or  not  to  smoke. 

Is  woman's  mooted  (piestion. 
It's  bad  for  reputations, 

Though  they  said  it  aids  digestion. 
But  now  Collector  Loeb  has  said 

That  by  the  new  decree 
Three  hundred  foreign  cigarettes 

May  be  imported  free. 

This  makes  "the  usage  of  the  weed". 

(That's  really  smokers'  jargon) 
Come  very  close  to  woman's  heart, 

It  sounds  like  such  a  bargain. 

So  hail  the  Turkish  cigarette! 

And  shoidd  old  Grundy  probe, 
Why,  what  care  we?    For  don't  you  see, 

We'll  put  it  up  to  Loeb.

Suggesting  to  a  young  reporter  that  his  cigar  smelled  like 
a  15-center,  the  youth  told  the  managing  editor  that  such  indeed 
was  the  grade  he  consumed.  "Isn't  a  bit  expensive  for  a  man 
on  your  salary?"  said  the  city  editor.  "Clearly  you  are  a  mind 
reader,"  said  the  reporter.  "I  was  just  about  suggesting  to  you 
that  a  small  raise  in  my  salary  would  put  me  on  easy  street 
as  regards  my  cigars  and  would  end  much  anxiety.  Do  I  get  the 
raise?"  "Well,  if  you  must  smoke  15-cent  cigars — yes,"  re- 
plied the  editor. 

Just  then  Bums  kicked  himself  and  awoke.  It  was  only  a 
dream. 

Harry  H.  Inman,  of  the  big  cigar  and  tobacco  establish- 
ment on  Pine  avenue,  Los  Angeles,  was  the  victim  of  a  funny 
joke  recently.  It  was  all  about  a  hair  tonic  which  his  friends 
induced  him  to  use  in  order  to  restore  its  old-time  shade  and 
to  induce  more  hair  to  appear.  Fifteen  minutes  after  he  applied 
the  tonic  every  hair  on  Inman's  head  was  dyed  a  rich  shade  of 
tobacco  red ;  one  described  as  a  cross  between  the  setting  sun 
and  diluted  licorice.  Inman  did  not  want  to  lose  his  hair,  so  he 
has  been  trying  to  kill  the  nicotine  shade  through  scientific 
methods.  In  the  meantime  he  wears  his  Derby  pulled  away 
down.

inoiiiy  lanur.  If  it  is  a  money  earner  it  has  a  cash  capital

^^•t  at  its  value  he  nnist  endeavor  to  ascertain  how  much  his

jnohahly  a  nnich  more  diflicnlt  matter  than  to  ascertain  the 
cash  value  of  the  stock  on  hand. 

The  value  of  the  show  window  depends  entirely  upon  the 
dej^ree  of  ahilit\  shown  in  utili/in;;  it.  Most  retailers  of  to-day 
are  hecomiii<4  more  and  more  alive  t«)  the  fact  that  the  value 
of  the  show  window  is  not  limited,  and  one  now  seMom  sees 
a  show  window  in  which  there  is  not  some  evidence  of  an  hon- 
est endeavor  to  ohtain  from  it  some  actual  value.  It  may  be  a 
feehle  representation  of  the  art  of  window  dressing'  that  was 
really  intended,  hut  then  it  must  be  remembered  that  it  takes 
a  certain  amoimt  of  time  to  do  all  jjjood  thinj:[s  well,  and  the 
retail  dealer  can  not  expect  to  immediately  come  out  as  an  ex- 
])ert  in  window  trims,  but  if  he  has  made  up  his  mind  to  try  he 
can,  by  assi<luous  endeavors  and  after  perhaps  many  disapi)oint- 
meiits.  succeed  in  capitalizing^  his  show  windows  and  thereby 
ad<l  a  substaiUial  sum  to  the  value  of  his  business.  The  mak- 
iuj^  (T  the  proper  effort  is  the  jijreater  part  of  the  battle  and 
once  he  has  succeede<l  in  making,'  a  determined  eflfort  the  battle 
is  at  least  half  won,  and  a  complete  victory  then  becomes  but 
a  (juestioii  of  time. 

W'iiulow  trimming  has  become  to  be  recojrnized  as  a  hip^h 
art  if  not  almost  a  science,  and  it  has  many  exijjencies  and  a 
vast  (litTerence  of  opinion  exists  anion jij  successful  retailers  as 
to  the  relative  merits  of  the  many  difTerent  kinds  of  displays 
which  are  made,  and  particularly  as  rej^ards  the  "Hulk"  dis- 
plav  and  the  store  window.  P>ulk  displays  attract  attention, 
of  course,  but  it  is  a  (piestion  as  to  whether  it  will  attract  as 
much  notice  by  havinp^  a  profusion  of  any  brand  of  j^oods.  as 
would  be  attracted  as  a  real  window  display  in  which  are  ar- 
raiij^^ed  in  some  tasteful  order  and  special  designs  a  variety  of 
selected  (^fferiufjs  or  specialties. 

The  theory  that  the  .greatest  good  for  the  j^jrcatest  number 
is  always  best,  and  if  that  theory  be  adopted  then  it  would  ar- 
j.;ue  in  favor  of  the  window  display  rather  than  a  bulk  effect. 
In  other  words  the  window  must  obtain  for  the  dealer  the 
j^ireatest  good  from  the  greatest  number  of  people — and  to  at- 
tain that  end  inust  be  his  constant  study.  The  accomplish- 
ment wonld  seem  to  be  more  feasible  if  the  window  be  dressed 
in  such  a  wav  that  the  disnlav  can  be  so  varied  as  to  attract  the 
attention  of  the  greatest  number  of  passersby  and  in  that  way

Two-Minute  Chat  with  Retailers. 

I  i>  only  after  a  man  makes  a  tliorough  test  of  his  own 
limitations  that  he  can  become  thoroughly  cognizant. 
The  trouble  seems  to  be  that  too  many  do  not  soon 
enough  realize  wlicn  their  limit  has  been  reached  and 
conse<|Uently  attempt  things  entirely  beyond  their  cai)acity. 
while  others  apparently  make  no  attempt  to  ascertain  the  ca- 
pacity which  they  really  do  possess.  I'ortunate  indeed  is  the 
man  who  realizes  early  enough  in  life  tl.at  none  can  be  abso- 
lutely superior  in  all  things  an<l  who  is  willing  to  <liscover  what 
his  best  (jualities  are  and  just  how  far  he  can  develop  them. 
Such  a  man  is  more  liable  to  make  a  success  of  his  undertak- 
ings than  the  man  who  will  ignore  it.  Nothing  will  reveal  to 
him  more  (piickly  his  real  limitations  than  the  evidence  of  fail- 
ing efforts  or  he  may  tind  that  he  is  succeeding  in  certain  di- 
rections while  in  other  things  he  fails  almost  completely,  and 
tliat  others  are  api)arently  succeeding  in  what  he  failed  in,  and 
it  is  just  this  knowledge  which  enables  a  man  to  secure  the 
service>  of  others,  whom  he  knows  can  bring  success  to  him. 
and  to  also  show*  him  where  he  can  succeed  better  by  liis  own 
etforts. 

It  is  a  grand  achievement  to  be  able  to  learn  one's  own 
limitations  in  time,  and  if  then  there  is  added  to  that  knowledge 
the  ability  to  gauge  the  limitati«>ns  which  have  been  discovered 
a  successful  career  is  much  more  certain. 


Heart  to  Heart  Talks  with  Clerks. 


RICCl!lXTLY  I  came  into  personal  contact  with  a  cigar 
store  clerk  in  a  progressive  way  who  had  become 
known  as  a  chronic  kicker.  It  might  seem  strange 
when  I  say  that  notwithstanding  this  he  was  regarded 
bv  his  employer,  who  is  a  very  progressive  and  successful  mer- 
chant, as  the  most  valuable  of  the  several  assistants.  This 
kicking  clerk  invariably  got  the  attention  of  the  proprietor 
when  he  ma<le  a  kick,  but  minority  is  liable  to  be  misconstrued, 
therefore,  let  me  explain.  1  do  not  mean  that  this  kicking 
clerk  was  always  getting  the  worst  of  it  and  that  was  the  cause 
of  his  kicking,  but  I  mean  that  he  was  one  of  those  chaps  who 
sees  things.  In  fact  he  was  one  of  very  few  who  are  able  to 
(juickly  discern  a  faulty  system  and  come  right  up  and  show 
where  the  fault  lies  and  to  make  suggestions  of  affective  rem- 
edy. I  le  was  so  constantly  alert  that  he  won  the  nom  de  plume 
of  "chronic  kicker"  from  the  other  clerks,  but  he  was  really 
making  a  mark  for  himself.  There  is  a  good  moral  in  this  and 
tliat  is — don't  kick,  unless  you  have  something  to  kick  about, 
and  then  kick  good  and  hard. 


The  Tobacco  World. 

The  sphere  of  this  journal  is  well  indicated  by  its  admira- 
ble and  euphonious  title,  "Tm-:  Tobacco  World/'  and  the  man- 
agement will  not  rest  content  till  its  following  and  influence 
fixes  it  as  a  national  publication. 

Without  meaning  to  be  flamboyant,  we  intend  that  the 
leading  tobacco  wholesalers  and  manufacturers  in  the  United 
States,  and  in  certain  other  countries  shall  regard  the 
"World"  as  a  welcome  and  indispensable  organ  of  informa- 
tion. 


Window  Display  of  Alderman  &  Co.,  Sharon,   Pa. 

This  enterprising  firm  of  I'emi.sylvania  jobbers  and  re- 
tailers recently  had  a  special  window  trim  devoted  exclusively 
to  the  ''V.  P."  cigars  manufactured  by  the  Cores- Martinez  Co., 
of  Philadelphia.  The  above  photograph  gives  some  idea  of 
the  artistic  manner  in  which  the  window  dresser  made  use  of 
the  label  of  the  Cores-Martinez  Co. 


Sales  and  Salesmanship. 

This  is  sales  sermon — all  heads. 

1.  You  need  salesmanship  as  well  as  salesmen  to  get  all 
the  .sales  you  ought  to  get. 

2.  If  you  want  your  salesmen  and  your  jobbers  to  do  the 
best  for  you,  you  must  do  the  l)est  for  them. 

3.  Sometimes  extra  fine  (|uality  is  sufficient,  but  mostly 
you   have  to  help  them  to  lielj)  you. 

4.  An  A  No.  I,  one-hundred-i)er-cent. -proof  salesman 
can  walk  into  a  place  and  sell  a  man  an  unknown  product,  but 
not  often. 

5.  Good  goods  advertised  in  a  good  trade  paper  come  into 
the  colunm  of  known  products. 

6.  We  know  that  an  order  originates  in  the  mind  of  the 
buyer,  and  when  he  knows  something  about  your  house  and 
your  goods,  the  ground  has  been  prepared  for  the  seed. 

7.  It's  awful  lime-juice  for  your  salesman  to  have  the 
good  prosi)ects  constantly  hand  him  out  *T  never  heard  of  that 
house." 

8.  The  right  kind  of  an  ad.  in  a  well-circulated  trade  news- 
pai)er  will  do  more  than  make  your  goods  known  t(3  the  pros- 
pective buyer. 

(>.  It  will  always  lielj)  sales,  and  fre(|uently  bring  orders 
when  the  salesman  is  not  «»n  the  ground. 

10.  It  will  act  as  an  immediate  advance  agent  to  the  trade 
for  all  new  brands  or  important  propositions.

Sitme  rains  bave  fallen  in  N'uelta  Abajo,  wbicb  bavc  done 
some  }4<MMi.  hilt  more  sbowers  are  needed  in  order  to  revive  tbe

will  j^ive  some  goo(l  X'egas  in  fairly  large  (juantites. 

Tbe  I'artido  cn»p  is  nearly  all  out  and  boused  already,  al- 
tbongh  some  more  tillers  can  be  raised  witb  favorable  weather. 
The  .^anta  Clara  province  is  still  in  doubt,  as  far  as  (|uantity  is 
coiiceriUMl,  and  unless  it  should  rain  tbe  crop  will  be  also  shorter 
than  last  year.  Last  week  it  looked  here  in  Havana,  as  if  we 
sbonid  liave  some  good  showers,  but  as  the  winds  veered  to  tbe 
North  again,  tbe  skies  cleare<l  and  no  rain  fell. 

The  inunbers  (»f  r[iiui)a  buyers,  who  have  come  here  dur-

how  they  judge  tbe  coming  crop.  It  is  rather  unfortunate  and 
<li  scon  raging  to  the  clear  Havana  cigar  manufacturers  that  the 
outlook  so  far  is  not  favoral)le,  as  a  good  and  large  crop  was 
desired  by  all  interested  parties,  but  it  may  help  tbe  holders  of 
old  goods  t»)  dispose  of  their  stocks  upon  more  favorable  terms

Havana  cigar  manufacturers  are  still  fighting  hard  to  make 
a  living,  and  while  some  of  our  big  factories  report  having  re- 
ceived good  orders,  and  that  business  seems  to  be  improving, 
the  majority  of  the  medium  and  small  establishments,  remain  in 
the  same  condition  as  previously  stated.  However,  as  business 
ought  to  be  good  this  year  all  over  the  world,  and  as  long  as  the 
habit  of  smoking  is  not  on  the  wane,  there  is  hope  for  the  future, 
particularly  as  tbe  cigars  turned  out  by  our  factories  are  now 
excellent  in  taste,  and  as  good,  as  they  have  ever  been. 

Henry  Clay,  &  Bock  &  Co.,  Limited,  are  working  well  in  all 
of  their  factories,  and  bave  plenty  of  orders.  They  shut  down 
for  two  days  owing  to  the  untimely  demise  of  Don  Gustavo 
Bock,  but  Mr.  J.  Norman  Staples,  who  has  been  the  right  bower 
of  Don  Gustavo,  during  the  latter's  directorship,  is  now  trying 
to  catch  up  again  in  the  execution  of  calls  from  all  countries, 
and  the  company  is  making  a  very  heavy  shipment  of  cigars 
to-day. 

"Sol"  is  working  along  quite  steadily,  with  good  orders 
from  the  principal  consuming  countries  of  Havana  cigars. 

Other  busy  factories  are :  Romeo  &  Julieta,  Partagas,  La 
Escepcion,  H.  Upmann,  Flor  dc  A.  Fernandez  Garcia,  Por  Lar- 
ranaga  &  Belinda.

Buying  Selling  and  Other  Notes  of  Interest. 

Eiiri(juc  Peiulas  has  been  piircliasing  over  a  tlunisand  bales 
of  X'lielta  Abajo  in  the  country,  as  well  as  in  our  market  and 
he  is  still  in  town. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzales  sold  2585  bales  of  X'uelta  Abajo, 
and  Keniedios.  They  shipped  14(^0  bales  to  the  Spanish  Regie 
by  yesterday's  steamer,  Maria  Cristina.  Don  Antero  (ionzalez 
the  original  founder  of  this  house,  arrived  here  at  the  beginning 
of  this  month  from  Spain,  and  while  he  is  still  a  silent  partner, 
he  did  not  come  over  on  business,  but  simply  upon  a  pleasure 
trip,  and  to  see  his  old  friends. 

Angel  C'uesta  has  been  buying  (juite  liberally  already  of  the 
i()ni)  croj)  and  seems  to  be  looking  for  more  g<H)ds  yet. 

.\.  I'azos  &  Co.  were  sellers  of  7(X)  bales  of  X'uelta  Abajo 
and  I'artido. 

Joseph  Mendelsohn  arrived  here  from  Puerto  Rico  and 
during  his  stay  in  town  picked  up  some  8(x)  bales  of  choice 
X'egas  of  X'uelta  Remedios, 

(ionzales  &  iJenitez  report  8(x)  bales  of  X  uelta  Abajo  and 
keniedios  as  their  sales  of  the  past  fortnight. 

Charles  !•:.  Crawford  has  been  licartily  welcomed  by  his 
many  friends  in  t«)wn,  as  he  is  one  of  the  best-liked  buvers,  who 
knows  exactly  what  class  of  goods  the  customers  of  Dohan  & 
laitt  can  use,  and  is  always  willing  to  pay  the  ruling  market 
prices  for  choice  styles.  I'>om  good  authority  it  is  learne<l  that 
lie  has  purchased  in  the  neighl)<»rhood  of  400  bales  already,  but 
he  might  more  than  double  this  (juantity,  providing  he  succeeds 
in  finding  the  class  of  goods  he  is  looking  for, 

A.  M.  Calzada  &  Co.  sold  400  bales  of  fine  Vueltas,  choice 
I'artidos  and  tiptop  Remedios  to  several  of  their  customers  dur- 
ing the  past  fortnight. 

Jessie  Falk  and  A.  N.  XX'allach  were  buyers  of  a  fairly  large 
number  of  bales  for  their  firm  of  G.  Falk  &  Bro. 

Simon  Batt  left  by  last  Saturday's  steamer  Saratoga  for 
his  New  York  home  and  spoke  as  being  well  satisfied  with  the 
selection  of  goods  made  by  him  for  his  factory. 

Cardenas  &  Co.  disposed  of  300  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo  and 
Remedios  to  their  customers. 

Planas  &  Co.  closed  out  230  bales  of  Remedios  from  their 
holdings. 

Francisco  Fonseca  has  made  some  grxxl-sized  purchases  of 
very  fine  X'uelta  Abajo  Vegas  for  his  factory  here,  as  well  as 
for  his  New  York  establishment. 

B.  Diaz  &  Co.  sold  200  bales  of  Partido  and  Vuelta  Abajo 
during  the  past  week. 

Havana  is  now  in  the  height  of  the  season,  as  the  city  is 
overrun  with  tourists  from  all  the  States  of  the  American  Union 
and  nearly  all  the  hotels  are  overcrowded  and  it  is  hard  to  get 
accommodation,  unless  previously  engaged  by  cable.

The  Imperial  Tobacco  Co.  of  Montreal  has  been  honored 
by  the  election  of  Mr.  M.  O.  S.  Perrault  to  the  presidency  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  which  is  the  French  Board  of  Trade  in 
Montreal.  Mr.  Perrault  made  a  brief  but  able  address  in  ac- 
cepting the  presidency. 

The  Seattle,  XVash.,  Intelligence  utters  a  big  lament  that 
the  nickels,  dimes  and  quarters  expended  by  smokers  are  in  ex- 
change for  cigars  made  elsewhere.  The  fact  is  cited  that  the 
Seattle  product  is  made  under  sanitary  conditions  and  that  the 
output  is  good.

I'.dw.  R.  Re«|uard,  a  well-known  cigar  manufacturer  of 
Baltimore,  was  found  dead  in  bed  by  his  wife  on  a  Monday 
morning,  having  retired  on  Sunday  night  in  apparently  the  be>t 
of  health.  Mis  su«ldeii  ileath  was  a  great  shock  to  his  family 
and  to  many  friends  both  in  and  outside  of  the  trade.  Mr. 
Retpiard  came  to  this  country  wIkji  a  young  man  an«l  for  nn.re 
than  forty  years  he  had  been  engaged  in  the  cigar  manufactur- 
nig  business  in  P.altimore  and  was  the  surviving  member  of 
Re<|uar(l  I'.n.thers.  134  WVst  bXvette  street.  Me  was  (.4  years 
of  age  and  leaves  a  widow  and  t»ne  son. 

Robert  S.  C\»ne.  a  prominent  tobacco  raiser,  in  l\ast  llad- 
<lan.  Conn.,  died  recently  at  the  a«lvanced  age  of  «)()  years.  Me 
was  one  of  the  most  widely-known  farmers  in  that  .section  of 
the  country  and  had  always  been  an  extensive  tobacco  raiser. 

Tragic  results  followed  the  placing  of  the  lij^hted  en<l  of 
a  cigar  in  his  mouth  si.me  two  years  ago  by  XI  r.  Irick  Fox, 
president  of  the  l-:rie  Tobacco  C»>.,  of  Windsor.  Out.  Mis 
mouth  and  lips  were  badly  burned  and  a  cancer  developed 
which  ended  Mr.  Fox's  life  a  few  days  ago. 


M.  B.  Fahy,  a  well-known  jobber  ami  retailer  cigar  an«I 
tobacco  dealer  of  Chester,  Pa.,  died  on  the  liSth  inst.  after  only 
a  few  days'  illness  of  pneumonia.  Mr.  F'ahy  was  an  ex- 
tremely popular  man  in  that  city  and  had  a  large  business  as 
well  in  the  surrounding  country.  Me  is  survivetl  by  a  wi<low 
and  five  children — three  b(»ys  and  tw(»  girls. 

Me  left  a  considerable  estate  and  by  will  directe<l  that  it 
should  all  go  to  the  widow,  and  she  has  deci<led  that  with  the 
aid  of  her  .sons  she  will  contiiuie  the  business  along  the  same 
lines  i\\Km  which  Mr.  baby  was  notably  successful.

Law  to  Change  Tobacco  Packages. 
Michigan  Congressman  Has  Measure  lo  Regulate  Sizes. 

XV.AsiiiNGTON,  D.  C,  Feb.  19th.— A  bill  intr(»duced  in  the 
Mouse  by  Representative  Denby,  of  Michigan,  provides  for 
changes  in  the  sizes  of  packages  of  manufactured  tobacco.  Un- 
der the  provisions  of  Mr.  Denby 's  bill,  smoking  tobacco,  smifif, 
chewing  tobacco  and  granulated  tobacco  are  to  be  packed  in  the 
following  ounce  packages— J4,  >j,  4,  6.  7,  8,  10,  12,  14,  16.  Fine 
cut  chewing  tobacco  can  be  put  up  in  packages  of  10,  20,  40 
and  60  ounces  each,  while  snutT  may  be  put  up  in  jars  or  blad- 
ders which  hold  not  more  than  20  i)ounds. 

Another  measure  bearing  upon  the  tobacco  trade  was  in- 
troduced by  Mr.  Thomas,  of  Kentucky,  which  provides  for 
the  sale  of  unstemmed  leaf  tobacco  in  the  han<l  in  any  <|uantity 
without  payment  of  tax  and  relieving  the  sellers  from  keeping 
records  of  sales  or  reporting  to  the  Internal  Revenue  P>ureau. 

The  presence  of  a  cigar  or  cigarette  between  a  woman's 
lips  should  leave  no  doubt  of  the  fact  that  she  is  over  eighteen. 
Alas  that  she  should  ever  contract  the  habit  whether  at  eighteen 
or  fifty!  However,  we  should  not  moralize,  for  New  York 
jewelers  sold  twice  as  many  cigarette  boxes  to  women  in  1909 
than  to  men.

ealled.  etnleavored  to  ^v\.  restrictive  le^M^latioIl  against  tobacco 
prices  into  the  I'ayiie    TarilT  liill.  but  without  success. 

The  bill  projxised  l)y  Senator  IJeveridjie  is  as  f(jllo\vs : 

To  amend  .in  Act  entitled  "An  Act  to  provide  revenue, 
e<|uali/.e  duties,  and  encouraj^e  the  in<lustries  of  the  United 
States,  an<l  for  other  purjtoses,"  api)roved  Auj^aist  fifth,  nine-

l;e  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives 
of  tin-  I  iiited  States  of  America  in  Congress  assembled.  That 
the  Act  i-ntitled  "An  .\ct  to  provide  revenue,  equalize  duties, 
and  encourage  tlu-  industries  of  the  United  States,  and  for  other 
purpdsfs."  approved  August  fifth,  nineteen  hundred  and  nine, 
i)e  amended  by  adding  at  the  end  thereof  the  following: 

"Sec.  4.V  I  bat  none  of  the  packages  of  .smoking  tobacco 
and  tine  cut  chewing  tobacco,  cigarettes,  or  siuifF  prescribed  by 
law.  «ir  any  cigar,  or  package  of  cigars,  or  other  package  of  to-

an\  thing  of  value." 


Barr  vs.  the  American  Tobacco  Company. 
Suit  Results  from  Slight  Change  in  Package. 

Concerning  the  suit  announced  in  our  last  issue  brought  by 
John  C  liarr.  of  New  York,  against  The  American  Tobacco 
Co..  there  seems  to  be  but  few  developments. 

The  plaintiff  I'.arr  claims  that  the  American  Tobacco  Co. 
put  out  a  number  of  tin  cans  for  tobacco  marked  "licen.scd 
under  patent  812,175."  lie  asserts  that  as  a  matter  of  fact  the 
American  Tobacco  Co.  had  no  licen.se  and  that  therefore  this 
entitleil  him  to  a  forfeit  of  Isicx)  for  each  one  of  the  cans,  one- 
half  of  which  amount  he  claims  as  informer. 

W  bile  the  American  Tobacco  Co.  declines  to  discuss  legal 
affairs,  Tiik  ToiiiiAiHo  WoKi.n  has  learned  from  good  author- 
ity that  the  company  has  a  license  under  patent  812,175;  also 
that  the  A.  T.  Co.  has  ma<le  and  sold  tobacco  in  cans  trade- 
marke<l  "Continental  Cubes,"  these  cans  being  of  various  sizes 
and  being  marked  "licenseil  under  patent  812,175". 

.Some  time  in  i«><)<>  the  A.  T.  Co.  put  out  a  16-07.  can  of  the 
.same  shape  as  the  "Continental  Cubes"  can  and  likewise  marked 
it  "licensed  under  patent  812,175".  The  i)rcsumi)tion  is  that 
because  some  of  these  cans  differ  slightly  in  construction  from 
the  original  "Continental  Cubes,"  though  in  appearance  ex- 
actly lik<'  them,  that  l.arr  has  concluded  that  they  would  not 
be  covered  by  the  patent  in  «|uestion  and  hence  instituted  a  suit 
as  informer.

The  Big  Ten  of  the  American  Tobacco  Co. 

Pertinent  Facts  and  Figures  Relating  to  the  Leviathan  of  the  Industry. 

T"""""  \\\i  common  stock  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company 
is  currently  stated  to  be  $40,242,400  in  amount.  A 
well-informed  New  York  authority  asserts  that  with- 
in a  little  over  five  years  nearly  one  and  one-half  times 
of  the  aggregate  amount  slated  has  been  returned  to  the  share- 
holders, (jovernment  statistics  a  few  years  ago  revealed  the 
following  as  the  ten  largest  holders  of  common  stock  in  the 
American  'j'obacco  Co.  Jn  KJ07  the  stock  sold  as  low  as  $174 
and  the  table  below  shows  how  the  millions  invested  have  mul- 
tiplied within  that  brief  period:

The  highest  (juotation  for  the  American  Tobacco  Co.'s 
stock  in  1908  was  J>5i8  and  it  is  now  (juoted  around  $400, 

'J  he  company's  preferred  stock,  which  bears  6  per  cent., 
is  given  out  as  ."^78,689, 100.  The  preferred  stock  is  owned  very 
heavily  by  the  public  at  large;  the  common,  very  much  U)  their 
advantage,  is  held  by  a  few  persons  as  is  shown  above. 

As  to  the  cigar  outi)ut  of  the  American  Tobacco  Co.  no 
authentic  figures  seem  available  at  this  time,  but  tl'.e  table  below 
shows  the  cigar  output  of  the  country  at  large  and  the  (juan- 
tity  made  by  the  combination  and  by  indepen<lents.  The  table 
of  some  years  ago  is  as  follows,  sii.cc  when  the  United  Cigar

Exploiting  the  Billy  Possum  Brand. 

Warren  lieck  &  Bro.,  of  York,  Pa.,  are  now  engaged  in  an 
active  campaign  of  widely  exploiting  their  "Billy  Possum" 
brand.  The  brand  was  fir.st  thoroughly  tested  in  local  terri- 
tory and  met  with  instant  favor.  The  firm  is  now  in  a  position 
to  supply  the  goods  in  cjuantities  to  the  wholesale  and  jobbing 
trade  and  they  are  extending  their  field  of  operations  to  all  parts 
of  the  country.  Duplicate  orders  have  been  an  invariable  rule 
from  those  who  have  been  thus  far  handling  them  and  a  spe- 
cially attractive  proposition  is  being  made  to  jobbers  ih  terri- 
tory where  the  goods  are  not  already  represented. 


Clarke  &  Snover,  of  Scranton,  Pa.,  are  pushing  a  new 
brand  of  smoking  and  chewing  tobacco  known  as  "Top  Wave." 
They  have  a  big  factory  on  .Adams  avenue  and  their  industry  i.s 
a  credit  to  Scranton.

EDITORIAL. 

It  i.s  a  matter  of  just  apprehension  on  the  part  of  American 
Inisine.ss  men  that  matters  of  vast  and  far-reaching  importance 

have  often  to  he  decided  from  the  hencli  by 
Old  Age  on  mentally  feeble  and  physically  infirm  Judges. 
the   Bench.  Dropping  into  the  Supreme  Court  room 

at  Washington  recently,  a  ToiJ.\cC()  W'oki.d 
representative  was  deeply  impressed  with  the  tremendous  re- 
sptjnsibility  devolving  on  a  bench  of  Judges  whose  whitened 
locks  and  hesitating  manner  plainly  showed  their  need  of  retire- 
ment from  the  whirl  and  combat  of  life. 

If  The  World  man  is  able  to  judge,  he  would  say  that  not 
more  than  two  of  the  Judges  sitting  that  day  were  physically 
fitted  to  pass  on  the  matter  tlien  at  bar.  This  was  a  compli- 
cated (juarrel  affecting  two  huge  indu.^trial  corporations  in 
which  water  power,  land  grants  and  priority  of  occu|)ation  each 
niu.st  affect  the  decision  of  the  Court.  The  Chief  Justice, 
trembling  under  his  four  score  years,  the  aged  Brewer  and 
everyone  of  the  other  white-haired  lawyers  who  composed  the 
I'ench,  saving  perhaps  Justice  Holmes,  were  plainly  wrestling 
with  problems  which  should  not  be  committed  to  men  already 
frayed  out  with  the  worry  and  corrosion  of  a  lawyer's  career. 
The  facial  expressions  of  the  Judges  as  they  looked  at  each 
other  and  then  at  the  lawyers  pleading  before  them,  their  efforts 
to  comprehend  the  subtle  and  tortuous  arrangement  of  facts 


and  figures  which  they  were  expected  to  eluciilate  and  mould 
mto  an  intelligible  decision  were,  to  this  writer,  most  pitiful! 
That  e.vpected  of  them  was  i>lainly  ultni  lircs. 

With  the  greatcNt  ropect  for  the  liench  of  the  Supreme 
Court  and  lor  all  other  benches  competent  to  perform  their 
functi».n>,  we  mu>t  vehenunlly  j)rote>t  agaiii>l  the  Supreme 
*  Lt)urt  of  the  I'nited  States  being  conducted  as  a  sanctuary  f.>r 
old  age.  The  youthful  and  middle-age  brilliaiK\  uf  lawyers 
are  one  thing;  the  feeble  tlutter  of  senile  imi)olence  ami  decay  is 
(|uite  another.     lU'tween  the  two  conditions  lies  a  great  gulf. 

( iieat  »|uestit>n>  oi  tinance.  those  also  relating  to  commerce,

dled by  men  t.f  the  strongest  mentality,  by  men  in  middle  life, 
ami.  better  still,  by  men  ( lawyer>  )  fresh  fnun  the  coiilbct  of 
the  arena,  so  to  speak. 

!^o  imi»ressed  have  we  been  of  late  with  the  incompetence 
of  certain  aged  Jmlges  to  render  lucid  decisions,  both  in  hVtleral 
and  in  State  Courts,  that  our  beliif  is  that  every  Jud^e  i>n  the 
r>ench  who  has  reached  his  >i.\ty-fifth  year  should  be  retiretl 
peremptorily  and  men  between  ft.rty  and  sixty-five  be  installed 
in  their  places. 


The  death  of  Don  Ciustavo  Piock.  announced  in  our  issue 
of  the    15th.    was    read    with   |>rofouinl    regret.      .Mr.    WikU.    is 

properly  referred  to  as  t»ne  t>f  the  .XapokMnis 
The  Loss  of  of  the  cigar  industry.  When  it  is  c«»nsidere«l 
Gustavo  Bock.       that   his   company   controls    and     distributes 

nn»re  than  twenty  of  the  leading  braiuls 
of  Havana  cigars  and  that  they  own  jj5.(XK)  acres,  tlescribed 
as  the  finest  of  tobacct*  lands,  an  idea  of  their  dexterity  an<l 
business  acumen  may  be  arrivetl  at. 

.So  immense  were  .Mr.  liock's  interests  in  Cuba  at  the  time 
of  the  .Sj)anish  War  that  he  became  a  cons|)icuoUs  figure 
through  his  persistent  efforts  to  get  into  Havana.  .So  clever 
was  his  plea  that  a  permit  was  accorded  him  to  pass  through 
the  United  State;*  blockading  fleet  on  the  (lerman  S.  S.  "l*o- 
leria."  I.ater  this  permit  was  revoked,  but  Mr.  P.nck's  eager- 
ness to  get  to  his  business  (juite  recalled  the  dilemma  of  South- 
ern merchants  who  were  cut  off  from  their  h(»mes  i>y  the  l-'etl- 
eral  blockade  during  the  American  civil  war.

It  certainly  would  be  a  g<K>d  thing  if  Kentucky  could  con-

No  Tobacco  Decision  at  Washington. 

Resuming  its  session  on  Monday,  February  21st.  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  the  Uniterl  .States  announced  that  no  decision 
would  be  handed  down  at  this  time  in  the  case  of  the  United 
States  V.  The  .American  Tobacco  Co.  The  issues  raised  by  the 
case  pending  against  the  Standard  Oil  Co,  are  set  for  argu- 
ment March  14th.  and  no  tobacco  decision  is  probable  until  the 
oil  suit  has  been  heard. 

There  are  a  number  of  controversies  before  the  Supreme 
Court  which  are  of  far  reaching  importance  to  business  men.

class  trade.

rush  orders  are  still  coming  in  every  day. 

Fred.  W.  Winter,  of  the  Winter  Cigar  Manufacturing  Co., 
left  New  York  on  February  26th,  for  the  Pacific  Coast.  He  will

territory.  He  will  also  visit  Denver  and  Salt  Lake  City  on  his 
way  out,  returning  to  New  York  in  about  two  weeks.

not  expect  to  be  back  until  April  15th.  Mr.  Symons  has  already 
sent  in  some  very  encouraging  reports  and  looks  forward  to  a 
successful  trip.

Strike  Affects  Philadelphia  Business. 

I  SI.\I''SS  has  been  seriously  interrupted  owiuj;  to  a 
^tiikc  of  street  car  men.  wliieli  was  followed  hv  nu- 
merous riots  durinj^'  tlie  past  week  or  more.  Down- 
t<»wu  retailers  are  most  of  all  feeliuj^'  the  disastrous 
etleets.  as  the  shojipin;.,'  <li.stricts  are  j^neatly  depopulated  in  fear 
ot  sudden  outbreaks  and  the  inconvenience  of  jj^ettinj^  around. 
Althnuj^h  every  etTort  is  beinj.,'  made  by  city  otlicials  to  (|uell  the 
riotinj.,\  the  end  is  not  yet  at  hand  and  more  trouble  is  expected 
to  come  before  all  is  over.  In  fact,  there  is  at  this  time  a  ik)s- 
sibility  of  a  ^^Mieral  symj)athetic  strike  of  all  trades  unions,  and 
in  which  event  business  would  soon  become  almost  paralyzed, 
at  least,  for  a  time. 

Leaf  Tobacco  Men  to  Meet. 

'i^ie  rei^ular  animal  meetinj^^  of  the  Philadeli)hia  Leaf  To- 
bacc«»  Pn.ard  of  'J'rade  will  take  place  on  March  8th  at  the 
Harris  Club,  on  New  Street  above  3rd,  and  ofticers  for  the  en- 
suing' year  will  be  elected.  Mr.  |uliu>  N'etterlein,  the  present 
encumbent  as  president,  and  who  is  one  of  the  ablest  men 
in  the  leaf  trade,  is  h>|;ically  eligible  for  re-election,  although 
it  was  with  ditliculty  that  he  was  persuaded  to  serve  when 
elected  to  oflice  about  a  year  ago.  In  fact  it  is  believed  that 
all  the  present  officers  will  be  re-elected.  At  this  meeting  dele- 
gates will  likely  also  be  named  to  attend  the  convention  of  the 
Nationa  Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco  Association,  wliich  will  be  this 
year  held  in  Hartford,  Conn.,  on  Monday  and  Tuesday,  May 
<;tli  and  loth. 

Philadelphia   Factories  Generally  Busy. 

The  cigar  mamifacturers  seem  to  be  generally  pretty 
l)Usy  for  this  time  of  the  year.  Kei)<>rts  from  cigar  box  manu- 
facturers also  verify  these  claims,  inasmuch  as  they  have  had 
during  the  month  a  healthy  increase  in  the  consumj)tion  of  cigar 
boxes,  by  local  factories.  Some  of  the  factories  have  been  in- 
creasing their  working  forces,  but  up  to  this  time  there  has 
been  little  ditficulty  in  getting  enough  cigar  makers.  A  pre- 
mature strike  has  been  reported  in  an<l  out  of  town  factories 
of  «nie  (d*  the  well  known  manufacturing  establishments  of 
this  city,  but  it  is  not  expected  that  the  trouble  will  be  very 
serious  nor  last  very  long.  Orders  for  goods  are  coming  in 
nicely  both  by  mail  an<l  from  traveling  salesmen  now  out  on 
the  road. 


Neumann  &  Mayer  Company's  Formal  Announcement. 

The  newly  organized  cigar  manufacturing  firm  of  Neu- 
mann \-  .Mayer  Co..  wliich  recently  succeeded  .Morris  I).  Neu- 
mann ^:  C"o.,  have  just  made  their  formal  announcement  of  the 
change.  They  also  state  that  they  will  continue  to  conduct  the 
business  upon  the  same  lines  as  formerly  employed  by  M.  I). 
.Neumann  &  Co.,  and  from  whom  all  brands,  titles  and  copy- 
rights have  been  purchase<l. 

The  company  is  comj^rised  of  Morris  D.  Neumann,  Joseph 
(iuggeidieimer  and  Leo  \V.  Mayer,  the  last  named  of  whom 
was  lately  a  member  of  Hilson  &  Co.,  of  New  York,  and  is 
widely  known  in  the  cigar  trade. 


Frishmuth    Enjoys  the   "World". 

Under  date  of  February  22(1,  .Mr.  j(.hn  C.  W.  Frishmuth, 
of  Frishmuth  P.n.s.  &  Co.,  who  are  the  oldest  as  well  as  one  of 
the  largest  independent  tobacco  manufacturers  in  the  L'nited 
States,  wrote  from  .Monticello,  I^'lorida : 

"Copy  of  the  new  W'oKf.u  received.  I  a])prcciate  your  at- 
tention in  sending  me  a  copy,  an<l  am  more  than  pleased  with 
its  a|)j)earance  and  contents. 

if  you  continue  it  as  started,  there  should  be  no  doubt 
about  its  success.       With  l)est  wishes,  1  am, 

Yours  very  truly, 

John  C.  W.  Frismuth." 


Dalton   Preparing  for  Removal. 

For  some  days  past  artisans  have  been  busily  at  work  in 
renovating  and  redecorating  the  old  Bromall-Lafayette  prem- 
ises on  Thirteenth  street,  below  Chesnut  street,  for  occupancy 
by  the  M.  j.  Dalton  Co.,  on  March  5th.  It  promises  to  be  one 
of  the  most  attractive  retail  establishments  in  the  city. 


Sheip  Company  will  Not  Remove. 

The  statement  has  been  erroneously  made  that  a  promi- 
nent cigar  box  mamifacturing  establishment  may  remove  from 
I'hiladelphia  by  the  \L  IL  Sheip  Manufacturing  Co.,  for  no 
such  thing  has  been  even  dreamed  of  by  that  company.  It  is 
true,  as  announced  in  Tiik  Toij.vcco  World  in  a  recent  issue, 
tliis  comi)any  is  interested  in  a  new  enterprise  at  Tampa,  Flor- 
ida, under  the  name  of  Sheip-Weidman  Co.,  but  it  will  in  no 
way  afTcct  the  Philadelphia    business  of  the    company.

PHILADELPHIA  NEWS  AT  A  GLANCE 


I'rank  Doniinguez,  of  the  Havana  importing  firm  of  E.  A. 
Calves  &  Co.,  recently  returned  from  a  purchasing  expedition 
to  Cuba,  where  he  succeeded  in  getting  considerable  additional 
supplies  of  leaf  for  their  growing  trade  in  the  States.  Mr.  M. 
H.  .Myers,  traveling  salesman  with  this  house,  immediately 
l)acke<l  his  sample  trunk  and  is  now  otT  on  a  trip  through  New 
N'ork  and  the  New  England  States.  Business  is  reported  fairly 
good  with  the  firm. 

Luckett,  Luchs  &  Lipscomb  are  making  good  progress  in 
the  more  extensive  distribution  of  their  "Luxello"  brantl  of 
nickel  cigars  among  retailers  in  this  city  and  many  new  ac- 
counts are  being  a<lded  to  an  already  long  list.  Jt  is  even  more 
pleasing  to  note  that  the  goods  are  duplicating  encouragingly 
well  with  all  dealers  handling  them. 

John  Dee,  of  the  Theobald  &  (  )ppenheimer  Co.,  recently 
returned  from  a  business  trip  through  the  West  and  had  an  en- 
couraging reiM>rt  to  make  of  the  conditions  in  that  section,  and 
which  are  highly  favorable  to  the  product  of  the  T.  &  ( ).  Co. 
riieir  factories  are  all  well  filled  with  orders  and  forces  of 
cigarmakers  have  in  some  instances  been  lately  increased. 

.\  twenty  per  cent,  increase  of  the  sales  of  the  correspond- 
ing peri(Kl  of  last  year  is  shown  in  the  "Counsellor"  brand  of 
.Mien  R.  Cressman's  Stnis  in  I'hiladelphia.  At  some  points 
outside  of  this  city  even  a  greater  gain  is  shown. 

(iodfrey  S.  Mahn  is  now  on  his  annual  visit  to  Cuba,  and 
will  return  by  way  of  Key  West  and  Tampa,  making  selec- 
tions of  some  certain  sizes  of  fine  clear  ilavana  cigars. 

The  Sabarosa  factory  of  \'etterlein  liros.  is  running  full 
blast,  and  a  fine  line  of  orders  was  recently  brought  in  by  Roy 
X'ettcrlein  upon  his  return  from  a  business  trip  through  the 
West. 

The  44  Cigar  Co.  is  prospecting  for  an  additional  factory. 
\\  hen  they  took  possession  of  their  new  building  at  Eleventh 
and  Wharton  streets  it  seemed  to  possess  ample  facilities  for 
some  time  to  come,  but  already  its  capacity  is  becoming  heavily 
taxed  with  many  and  large  orders  for  their  product  making 
additional  facilities  necessary. 

L.  G.  Ilaeussermann  &  Sons,  leaf  tobacco  jobbers  on 
.North  I'hird  street,  have  found  the  change  by  removing  their 
retail  department  from  the  second  to  the  first  flcK)r  highly 
profitable  in  a  more  extensive  business,  which  is  steadily  in- 
creasing. Carl  L.  Ilaeussermann,  of  this  firm,  is  now  devot- 
ing more  attention  to  looking  after  the  customers'  needs  by  per- 
sonal visits  with  encouraging  results. 

C.  W.  Saunders,  representing  the  Cortez  Cigar  Co.,  of  Key 
West,  was  a  recent  visitor  in  this  city,  en  route  to  Atlantic  City 
to  look  after  special  Easter  trade  in  that  popular  resort,  and 
where  Cortez  cigars  have  a  good  sale. 

E.  F.  Oppenheimer  has  rejoined  the  selling  forces  of  the 
Cores-Martinez  Cigar  Co.,  after  an  absence  of  about  two 
years,  and  will  cover  Chicago  and  vicinity,  making  occasional 
lri[)s  through  Illinois,  Missouri  and  Indiana. 

S.  K.  Isaacs  is  another  former  salesman  that  has  come 
back  into  the  fold  of  the  Cores-Martinez  Co.  When  he  left 
the  company  about  a  year  ago  he  organized  a  jobbing  firm  at 
I  larrisburg.  Mr.  Isaacs  is  now  making  his  first  trip  through 
I'ennsylvania  as  far  west  as  Gettysburg,  and  upon  his  return 
he  will  devote  his  time  to  represent  the  V-P  cigars  here. 

W.  S.  Luckett,  of  Luckett,  Luchs  &  Lipscomb,  Philadel- 
phia, has  returned  from  a  short  trip  through  the  West,  during 
which  he  stopped  at  the  leading  cities  as  far  West  as  St.  Louis. 
.Mr.  Luckett  reports  that  cigar  business  in  the  West  is  quite 
brisk  and  that  his  trip  was  quite  successful  from  a  business 
standpoint. 


Detroit  Factories  Running  Full. 
Railroads  Unable  lo  Handle  All  Business     Local  Trade  Items, 

Dktkoit,  .Mkii.,  February  jd. 
\[E  demand  for  tobacco  contiimes  alxiut  the  sauK*. 
Cold  weather  has  prevailed  over  the  State  during  the 
past  month  and  this  has  curtailed  business  to  a  certain 
extent.  I'actories  are,  however,  ruiming  full,  but  the 
probabilities  are  there  will  be  a  better  trade  shortly.  Frohibi- 
tionists  are  insistent  in  their  assertions  that  they  will  carry  a 
majority  of  the  counties  of  the  I^tate  in  the  spring  elections, 
and  while  the  decreased  revenue  from  the  cutting  otY  of  hun- 
ilreds  (.)f  saloons  will  cause  manufacturers  worry  it  will  not  be 
so  great  as  to  seriously  atfect  the  trade,  it  is  noted  that  last 
year  when  a  large  number  of  counties  went  "dry"'  the  demand 
for  cigars  and  tobacco  did  not  fall  ofi"  to  such  an  extent  as  wa^ 
lotjked  for. 

Cigar  factories  in  different  jjarts  of  the  city  and  .state  are 
running  full.  Some  manufacturers  complain  «>f  a  ditVuuIt\  in 
getting  suitable  help.  Go«k1  wages  are  paid  cig.irmakers  an<l 
in  some  factories  it  has  been  necessary  that  girls  be  put  \\\  the 
place  of  male  help.  The  uncertainty  in  shipping  circles  is 
causing  .some  worry.  Detroit  railroads  seem  unable  to  c«>pe 
with  present  business  and  there  is  congestion  in  local  switch- 
ing yards.  A  meeting  of  Michigan  shippers  was  held  in 
Lansing  recently  and  it  was  decided  to  send  the  demurrage 
(juestion,  one  of  moment  to  Michigan  tobacco  manufacturers, 
into  the  courts.  The  Interstate  t'ommerce  Commission  wishes 
.Michigan  to  adopt  the  unit\>rm  c»)de  of  demurrage  rules,  which 
are  entirely  unacce[)table  to  Michigan  shippers  and  the  .Michi- 
gan State  Railroad  Commission. 


An  Enlightened  and  Progressive  Department. 

TiiK  ToH.\cco  WoKi.i)  has  observed  with  gratification  the 
earnest  co-operative  work  which  the  Department  oi  .\griculture 
has  expended  in  aiding  the  tobacco  growers  of  this  country. 
Not  only  does  the  department  give  earnest  heed  to  the  sugges- 
tions and  complaints  of  the  growers,  but  the  most  active  per- 
sonal assistance  by  Government  experts  seems  t«;  be  had  for 
the  asking.  The  experimental  station  proves  of  immense  value 
to  the  growing  interests  wherever  established.  It  would  be  im- 
possible to  record  in  these  columns  the  proceedings  of  the 
various  meetings  and  conventions  which  assemble  to  discuss 
tobacco  culture,  its  perils  an<l  its  j)n»fits.  A  meeting,  however, 
held  at  luist  Hartford,  Conn.,  b'eb.  15th,  that  of  the  Hartford 
County  (irowers'  Protective  Association,  elicited  an  unusual 
amount  of  valuable  discussion  and  disclosed  certain  facts  ami 
methods  which  ought  to  prove  helpful  to  any  section. 

Dr.  W.  W.  (jarner,  of  the  U.  S.  Agricultural  l)ej)artment, 
seemed  specially  helpful  in  his  suggestions.  He  laid  stress,  for 
instance,  on  co-operation,  exj)eriments  regarding  the  |)riming  of 
tobacco  instead  of  cutting,  and  t(^)k  up  the  matter  of  rust,  cal- 
ico tobacco,  the  lessened  yield  as  due  to  fertilizing,  or  to  the 
type  of  weed  raised.  He  spoke  further  also  alnjiit  cross-breed- 
ing in  order  to  get  a  better  plant. 

W.  M.  Hinson,  of  the  same  department,  tin  night  it  pos- 
sible that  a  change  of  crof)s  once  in  four  years  wouM  elimi- 
nate some  diseases;  that  a  change  in  curing  and  increase<l  yieM 
or  wrappers  could  be  had.  As  now  grown,  (Hily  one  wrapper 
is  obtained  from  a  leaf;  if  the  size  of  the  leaf  were  diminished, 
more  wrapi)ers  could  be  secured  from  the  plant.  .\  change  r)f 
fertilizers,  also,  Mr.  Hinson  thought,  might  give  a  better  yield. 

The  in(|uiries  and  comments  of  the  tobacco  growers  at 
this  particular  meeting  disclosed  high  intelligence  and  a  deter- 
luination  to  adopt  the  best  metluxls  which  science  and  experi- 
ment could  possibly  evolve. 


The  United  Cigar  C(MUpany  has  |)lace<l  b'.  J.  Hem|)toii  in

cial interrvt  to  the  visitin;^  J^Miests,  an<l  numerous  automohilc 
parties  left  the  'ranii)a  Hay  Hotel  at  various  times  for  the  spe- 
cial ohject  of  visit in^^  atid  inspectinj^'  factories  in  West  Tampa 
and  ^■h(.r(■ity.  Yesterday  (Jeneral  Mills,  commanding'  the 
l)e|)arfment  of  the  Tiulf,  under  the  escort  of  Major  Henry 
Cohen.  f)f  the  Idorida  National  Guards,  and  attended  by  his 
staff.  visite<l  three  of  the  lar^'est  factories  in  West  Tampa,  and 
it  is  needless  to  .say,  interfere«l  materially  with  the  progress  of 
work,  while  the  cigarmakers  gazed  in  awe  at  the  heavily  be- 
decked uniforms. 

The  re|)orts  of  trade  for  the  past  fortnight  are  of  a  most 
sanguine  nature  and  several  manufacturers  arc  now  doing  more 
actual  business  than  they  did  during  the  weeks  prior  to  the 
Christmas  holidays.  Many  of  the  leading  road  men  are  out 
and  the  orders  they  are  returning  arc  much  heavier  than  for 
at  least  three  years  past. 

The  contract  for  the  erection  of  the  new  Boltz,  Clymcr  & 
C<».  factory  in  West  Tampa  was  awarded  yesterday  to  Levick 
iK-  Mobley,  the  kx'al  contractors,  who  were  not  only  the  lowest 
bidders,  but  wlio  are  exj)erts  in  the  building  of  cigar  factories. 
.Menti<ni  has  already  been  made  in  the  World  of  this  addition 
to  the  Tami)a  cigar  industry,  but  the  factory  which  y\rchitect 
I"'red  fames  has  designed  promises  to  be  one  of  the  most  com- 
mendable that  he  has  ever  planned.  The  building  will  be  of 
brick,  coloinal  style  and  ground  will  be  broken  to-day. 

'file  new  Davis  plant  is  progressing  rapidly,  the  masons 
being  almost  up  to  the  first  floor  joists,  and  the  building  will 
certainly  be  ready  by  August  1st — the  contract  time.  The 
cigarmakers  in  the  Davis  factory  went  on  a  one-day  strike 
'fues<Iay  last,  which  was  probably  in  celebration  of  Washing- 
Ion's  r.irthday.  Manager  Levy  had  them  back  at  work,  how- 
ever, on  Wednesday. 

.\.  L.  Cuesta,  of  Cuesta,  Rcy  &  Co.,  reached  Tampa  last 
Sunday,  after  a  (juick  trip  to  Havana,  where  he  picked  up 
some  much  nee<led  lots  of  tobacco.  Mr.  Cuesta  expressed 
much  regret  in  the  loss  of  K.  R.  Singleton,  their  representative 
in  the  Middle  West,  who  has  resigned  to  go  with  E.  A.  Klein 
&  Co.,  of  New  York. 

Cuesta.  Key  i^-  Co.  are  preparing  to  market  a  new  grade, 
which  will  be  known  as  "White  Heather,"  and  if  the  goods 
si/e  n|)  to  the  beauty  of  the  label  they  have  adopted,  nothing 
more  could  be  desired.  Mr.  Cuesta  leaves  to-night  for  Jack- 
sonville and  Atlanta. 

h'dw.  Woodiska  vK-  Co.  is  at  i)resent  at  Havana  buying 
stock,  'fills  house  is  doing  better  than  ever  on  the  well-known 
"Julia  Marlowe"  brand. 


J.  M.  Diaz,  of  Jiustillo  Hros.  ik  Diaz,  wlu.se  head(iuarters 
are  in  New  \'ork,  has  been  at  the  'fanipa  iJay  Hotel  for  a  week 
past.  Mr.  Diaz  came  in  from  a  trip  which  extended  out  to 
the  Pacific  Slope,  and  tells  me  that  he  closed  a  number  of  fine 
deals,  which  should  keep  their  factory  busy  for  a  long  time  to 
come.  Mr.  Diaz  leaves  here  for  New  York  on  Saturday  the 
26th. 

II.  Ilalbin,  of  i'.albin  liros.,  has  been  in  Havana  for  ten 
days  past  buying  leaf.  He  has  picked  up  some  special  lots, 
but  the  market  there  is  not  in  a  pn»mising  condition  and  it  is 
almost  a  case  of  take  what  you  caught,  'fhe  Balbin  factory  is 
doing  more  business  to-day  than  they  were  in  November  last. 

Celestiiio  \'ega,  (»f  Celestino  \'ega  &  Co.,  left  here  last 
night  on  a  hurry  trip  to  Havana,  'fhe  firm  received  a  cable 
yesterday  that  their  warehouse  had  been  destroyed  by  fire, 
which  incidentally  burned  uj)  two  lHni<Ire«l  barrels  of  choice 
stock  which  they  had  there;  only  fifteen  barrels  of  Vuelte 
Abajo.  was  .saved  from  the  flames.  Mr.  \'ega  hopes  to  get 
back  within  a  week. 

Mr.  .\pte.  of  the  El  I'rovedo  Eactory,  is  very  optimistic 
as  t<»  the  year's  business  and  rej)orts  that  their  business  is 
growing  steadily  and  sturdily,  'fhe  company's  business,  which 
was  formerly  located  at  'fallahassee,  has  been  entirely  removed 
to  this  city  now.  and  last  week  the  doors  were  closed  in  the  old 
plant  permanently. 

The  El  Provedo  Company  are  to  have  a  new  factory  be- 
fore many  months,  and  they  are  n(»w  considering  several  propo- 
sitions looking  to  this  end.  11iey  may  eventually  occupy  the 
factory  which  Samuel  Davis  &  Co.  now  occupy  or  they  may 
build  a  factory. 

Jose  Lovcra,  of  the  Jose  Lovera  Co.,  has  lately  returned 
from  a  business  trip  to  Havana  and  reports  that  he  is  well 
pleased  with  the  h<.lding  of  leaf  which  they  have  in  the  island, 
'fhe  factory  is  making  rapid  progress  this  year  and  all  indica- 
tions are  that  they  will  eclipse  all  former  records  of  output. 

The  La  Noticia  Cigar  Co.  are  planning  a  further  extension 
of  their  plant.  It  is  but  a  comj)aratively  short  time  since  they 
did  extend  their  building,  but  the  raj)i(l  progress  made  by  them 
is  making  it  necessary  for  them  to  obtain  further  improve- 
ments and  greater  facilities  so  strong  has  become  the  demand 
on  their  leading  brands. 

Leopold  Powell,  of  Leoi)old  Powell  &  Co.,  has  been  at  the 
'fampa  factory  for  a  short  time.  He  rather  expects  to  remain 
until  the  real  spring  activities  begin  at  the  New  York  head- 
(juarters  of  the  firm. 

A.  Santaella  &  Co.  have  been  receiving  some  very  sub- 
stantial orders  from  the  Pacific  Coast,  where  the  trade  is  being 
visited  by  Senor  A.  Santaella.  The  Optimo  factory  is  among 
the  busiest  here,  and  Mr.  Mariana  Alvarez  was  obliged  to  cut 
short  his  visit  to  Cuba  recently  owing  to  the  press  of  business 
at  the  factory. 

E.  Regensburg  Sz  .Son,  who  claim  the  distinction  of  having 
the  largest  individual  clear  Havana  cigar  factory  in  the  world, 
are  making  preparations  for  early  possession  of  the  new  build- 
ing which  will  make  the  claim  an  accomplished  fact.  Not  only 
is  their  new  building  among  the  largest,  but  in  it  are  exhibited 
other  innovations. 

W.  T.  Morgan,  of  the  Morgan  Cigar  Co.,  left  here  Wash- 
ington's Birthday  for  a  three  weeks'  trip  to  Havana.  M.  M. 
Borchardt.  who  is  in  charge  during  Mr.  Morgan's  absence,  re- 
ports that  their  business  is  of  a  much  more  satisfactory  nature 
than  for  months  past. 


EDGAR  J.  STACHFl-BERG. 

of  M.  Stachf'Ibfrg  ft  Co  .  Md  Prominent  in  the 
Trade  at  Tampa. 


The  f:rlich  Mfg.  Co.  have  been  increasing  their  force  of 
cigarmakers  to  more  pnMni)tly  meet  the  growing  demands  for 
their  pnxluct.  After  .si,ending  some  time  at  the  Tampa  fac- 
t<»ry  and  visiting  Cuba,  Mr.  Harry  ICrlich  has  returned  to  the 
-New  ^  ork  headcjuarters. 

i:dgar  J.  Stachelberg  is  now  in  Cuba  to  make  inspections 
of  \  uelta  tobaccos  for  their  factory  needs  and  of  which  his 
hnn  IS  m  jx^ssession  of  very  large  (juantities,  and  of  the 
Hmicest  crops  of  last  years'  growth.  He  will  make  further 
purchases  only  if  he  can  find  .something  that  will  thoroughly 
correspond  in  (juality  to  what  they  already  have. 

I'.  A.  Torre,  of  the  Sanchez,  Haya  &  Co.  factory,  says 
that  they  hope  to  occupy  the  new  building  at  Eourteenth  ave- 
inie  and  Seventeenth  street,  Ybor  City,  about  April  ist.  The 
structure  IS  150x80  feet  by  dimensions,  thoroughly  modern  in 
construction  and  equipment  and  will  have  a  seating  capacity  for 
over  (kx)  cigarmakers. 

hi  the  new  quarters,  however,  old  No.  i  factory  will  have 
as  fine  facilities  as  any(jne  in  Tampa  to  take  care  of  the  trade 
which  has  clung  to  them  so  long. 

B.  J.  Strauss,  of  Rey,  Strauss  &  Co.,  has  been  in  'fampa 
tor  several  days  past  looking  over  conditions  at  the  factory. 
Mr.  Strauss  leaves  Monday  next  en  route  for  New  York,  where 
the  hnn  have  recently  opened  offices  at  143  Liberty  street. 

This  house  make  the  "Mi  Key"  brand,  which  is  being 
I>»ished  in  Philadelpf.ia  by  T.  H.  1  fart  &  Co. 

Importations  of  Havana  tobacco  continue  very  well  and 
withdrawals  have  necessarily  been  also  strong  (nving  to  the 
great  production  of  goods.  Kappal

Werner,  Bidez  &  Co..  one  of  the  few  exclusive  wholesale 
tobacco  houses  in  this  city,  have  been  making  a  special  tlrive 
for  the  past  week  or  so  in  the  Cayey-Caugas  Co.'s  Savan.nas. 
and  tlicir  windows  are  also  sh.»wing  the  \  alia  Kico.  5-cent

Otto  and  Charles  j.  fliseiilohr,  the  Philadelphia  manufac-

were  warmly  welcomed  by  Manager  C.  ( i.  Williams.  ihe 
\'an  Deman  &  Lewis  Co.,  by  the  way.  are  the  largest  han<llers 
of  A.  'f .  Co.'s  goods  in  this  city. 

Manuel  Eernandez,  who  succeeded  to  the  business  of  M. 
Eeniandez  t\:  Ihus.  last  year,  is  away  at  i)resent  on  his  spring 
trip  showing  their  well-known  brands  of  i^sta  de  ( )ro  and  La 
Lampara.  Mr.  Eernandez  has  just  finished  up  at  Nashville, 
where  he  closed  some  satisfactory  business.  During  his  ab- 
scence  the  factory  is  in  the  capable  hands  of  Manager  E.. 
Barrios. 

The  "C.  II.  S."  5-cent  cigar  has  been  heavilv  exploited 
here  during  the  past  few  weeks  and  sales  are  rei)orted  as  in- 
creasing rapidly.  The  street  cars,  as  well  as  lai^e  electric 
signs,  are  being  usetl  most  effectively. 

Here's  one  of  the  cards  in  the  street  cars: 
A  few  dealers  don't  sell 
C.  H.  S.  Cigars. 
They  say  they  cost    them    more    than    any 
other  5-cent  cigar  and  interfere  with  the  sale 
of  lo-cent  cigars. 

As  is  well  known,  both  here  and  througlK.ut  the  South, 
the  wholesale  grocery  houses  are  all  large  handlers  of  tobaco. 
and  cigars  and  they  uniformly  are  <loing  more  to-day  than  at 
the  same  period  one  year  ago.  I  had  good  reports  at  Striiig- 
fellt)w  &  Doty's,  who  distribute  Optimos  and  Santaellas,  and 
from  the  Bowers  Grocery  Co.,  who  are  Stachelberg's  agents 
here. 

Jacksonville  was  never  in  a  more  thriving  condition  than 
to-day.  Real  estate  has  steadily  improved  in  real  value;  the 
wholesale  houses  are  broadening  in  every  directifiu  and  the

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


g 


Kky  Wkst,  I'ebniary  24. 

\\  WI'.S'I'  participated  in  the  'lampa-ranama  (anal 
(  flilnatiou  l)\  sriidin^^  a  fine  float  on  Wasliin^'ton's 
r.irtli<la\.  i'lu'  flnat  was  syinbolie  and  sliovved  the 
relative  p(»sitinn  of  Key  West  and  other  h'jorida  cities 


tM  the  I'anania  (anal.  It  was  accompanied  by  Charles  II. 
Ketchnni.  a  member  of  the  Key  West  City  C  onncil. 

President  h"leitas.  of  the  Key  West  Ci^'ar  Manufactnrers' 
.\s...ciati<.ii.  has  acknowled^^ed  receij)!  of  a  communication 
from  the  Tampa  Maimfactnrers'  Association,  relative  to  a 
re^^niation  of  prices  for  certain  standard  sizes  established  on  a 
new  scale.  It  is  now  expected  that  the  matter  will  be  brouj^ht 
olVicially  before  the  local  association  for  consideration  and  ac- 
tion. The  present  scale  nse<l  in  Key  West  has  been  in  opera- 
tion since  h>()^>,  when  serious  troubles  were  settled  between 
manufactnrers  and  ci^armakers  and  that  no  friction  has  since 
occurred.  It  may  be  deemed  unwise  to  make  any  further 
changes  at  this  time,  and  it  also  appears  that  the  Tampa  Asso- 
ciatiiM)  has  not  touched  on  many  of  the  sizes  in  vogue  among 
cigar  manufacturers  on  the  Island,  but  generally  speaking  such 
an  arrangenunt  as  has  been  proposed  would  be  very  agreeable 
t..  the  local  manufacturers,  and  would  probably  also  tend  to 
minimize  the  possibility  <>f  future  disagreements  between 
manufacturers  and  employees. 

Manufacturers  for  the  most  part  arc  working  with  full 
forces,  and  some  are  very  busy.  Shii)ments  to  the  Pacific 
Coast  have  been  particularly  heavy,  and  representatives  of  Key 
West  factories  who  have  recently  visited  the  Coast  all  reporte«l 
g.Mxl  business.  The  outlook  generally  seems  goo<l  and  manu- 
facturers are  highly  pleased  with  the  prospects  as  they  now 
appear. 

(  )rders  have  been  coming  in  well  with  the  Ruy  Lopez  Co., 
atid  President  W'ardlow  is  more  than  ever  missing  the  com- 
modious (|uarter  which  they  had  before  the  storm  of  last  fall. 
It  seems  to  becoming  urgently  necessary  for  them  to  rebuild 
pretty  soon,  for  their  present  (|uarters.  which  were  taken  tem- 
porarily, will  soon  be  entirely  inade(|uate. 

The  \'\.  H.  C.ato  Cigar  Co.  have  had  a  phenomenally  good 
business  and  their  force  of  a  half  thousand  cigarmakers  arc 
not  losing  a  minute  of  time,  and  withal  the  company  is  obliged 
to  ship  goods  out  as  rapidly  as  they  can  be  prepared.  E.  H. 
( iato,  Ir..  left  on  the  i8th  inst.  for  a  month's  stay  in  Cuba,  and 
.luring  his  absence  Thomas  II.  Gato  is  taking  charge  of  the 
factory  forces. 

The  llemerica  brand  (^f  S.  &  F.  Fleitas  has  been  in  strong 
demand  recentlv  and  an  increase  in  the  force  of  cigarmakers  is 
n..w  anticii)ate(i  in  order  ti)  meet  the  rapidly  growing  demand. 
Work  on  the  construction  of  a  new  factory  building  is  also  to 
be  commenced  forthwith  and  to  be  pushed  vigorously  to  com- 
pletion. 

'ihe  C«.rtez  Cigar  Co.  has  been  taking  on  additional  hands 
right  ah.ng.  in.licating  that  their  products  are  meeting  with  in- 
creasing favor  everywhere. 

.Murias-Campana  Ca.  is  the  name  of  a  new  company 
which  has  taken  out  a  license  to  manufacture  cigars  in  Key 
W  est.  They  have  adopted  the  title  of  Carlos  Miirias,  and  will 
make  it  a  leader  in  their  product. 


After  a  brief  visit  to  Tampa,  Manuel  Lopez,  of  the  Manuel 
Loi)ez  Ca.,  has  returned  to  factory  heacUiuarters  here.  lie 
found  that  during  his  absence  things  had  run  along  very 
.smoothly  and  that  trade  shows  signs  of  increasing  activity. 

The  Cayno  Hueso  Cigar  Co.  is  extending  its  work  rooms 
and  increasing  its  force  of  cigarmakers.  Numerous  orders 
are  now  on  file  to  be  filled  and  more  are  coming  in  daily. 

Jacob  .Stahl,  Jr.,  of  New  York,  is  said  to  be  one  of  the 
principals  of  the  newly  organized  firm  of  Murias-Campana 
Ca.,  and  with  whom  there  is  associated  I).  Clinton  Whiting  and 
Jose  Maseda.  and  the  firm  succeeds  .\.  liaez  vS:  l>ro.  Mr.  Stahl 
iias  returned  to  New  York  via  Cuba,  and  Mr.  Maseda  will 
remain  in  Key  West  as  factory  inanager. 

S.  &  I'\  hdeitas  are  receiving  some  anxious  in(|uiries  for 
more  goo<ls.  and  the  firm  is  m(»re  and  more  feeling  the  need  of 
a<lditional  facilities  and  are  extremely  anxious  to  get  into  their 
new  building,  which  is  now  in  ccmrse  of  erection.  Owing  to 
the  building  of  a  new  factory.  Mr.  Francisco  Meitas  is  unable 
to  make  a  trip  .North,  which  is  his  custom  about  this  time  of 
the  year. 


The   Richest  Spot  in  Cuba. 


A  few  hours  Fast  of  Havana  in  Pinar  del  Rio  there  lies 
one  of  the  most  valuable  tracts  of  land  on  tlie  face  of  the  earth. 
There  are  but  two  other  places  in  the  whole  world  where 
ground  is  worth  so  much  as  in  the  X'uelta  .\bajo.  Cuba.  These 
two  places  are  the  si)ot  in  the  valley  of  the  Rhine,  where  grows 
the  Johannesburger  grape;  the  other  sj)(  t  is  the  Kimbcrley  dia- 
mond district  in  South  Africa.  Just  Ik  w  much  the  finest  belt 
of  cigar  land  would  fetch  in  a  box  per  ioj  or  one  at  a  time  over 
a  cigar  counter  it  is  difficult  to  say. 

At  any  rate,  all  sorts  of  traditions  hover  over  this  historic 
tobacco  soil.  In  former  times  it  was  watered  with  the  blood 
of  Cuban  braves  and  the  tears  of  fleeing  Seboritas.  The  fer- 
tilization was  good  and  jKHired  millions  into  the  lap  of  Spain. 
Just  now  it  is  said  that  the  cock  fight  is  the  conjuration  by 
which  the  soil  of  Vuelta  Aba  jo  is  induced  to  yield  a  good  crop. 
The  l)loo<l  of  the  dying  roosters  would  hardly  suffice  to  en- 
rich the  soil  of  the  district,  but  the  right  to  pit  their  cocks  one 
against  the  other  so  pleases  the  tobacco  toilers  of  the  Vuelta, 
that  they  work  harder  than  any  other  toilers  and  produce  the 
most  deliciously  subtle  tobacco  that  is  grown  on  the  globe. 

We  might  remark  that  the  other  districts  tried  to  refonn 
the  tobacco  peasant  and  make  him  stop  cock  fighting.  The 
planters  of  the  Vuelta  were  too  shrewd  for  this,  hence  glorious 
cock  fights  and  a  fragrant  weed  whose  charm  encircles  the 
earth.  If  you  doubt  it,  ask  King  Fdward,  the  Shah  of  Persia 
or  "I'ncle  Joe"  Cannon,  either  of  whom  are  known  to  pay  from 
fifty  cents  to  a  dollar  apiece  for  their  cigars. 


Deisel-Wemmer  Company  in  New  Building. 

The  Deisel-Wemmer  Co.,  of  Lima,  O.,  have  just  recently 
taken  ]x>ssession  of  their  handsome  new  building  at  Franklin 
and  iMrst  streets,  and  are  now  comfortably  installed. 

It  is  a  new  building  constructed  specially  for  this  com- 
pany, and  is  built  of  brick  and  reinforced  concrete,  containing 
three  stories  and  basement,  and  measures  50  by  100  feet. 

The  offices  of  the  comi)any  have  been  removed  from  their 
former  building  and  now  occupy  pleasant  (juarters  on  the  fir.st 
floor  of  the  new  building.  The  second  floor  is  devoted  entirely 
to  manufacturing  departments.  The  upper  floor  is  needed  for

United  States  Leads  World  in  Tobacco  Export. 

Startling  Figures  Compiled  by  Department  of  Commerce  and  Labor. 

rjrjTlORE  than  one  billion  dollars'  worth  of  tobacco  and 
|rj2y  manufactures  of  tobacco  have  passed  through  ports 
^^f  "^^  t'le  United  States  since  1890.  the  value  of  the  ex- 
ports from  the  country  during  that  period  having  ag- 
gregated six  hundred  and  forty-six  million  and  the  imports  into 
the  country  three  hundred  and  eighty-six  million  dollars.  These 
figures  are  exclusive  of  trade  passing  between  the  United  States 
and  its  non-continguous  territories,  which  showed  in  ujcx)  alone 
cigars  and  other  tobacco  brought  in  from  Porto  Rico  valued  at 
five  and  three-quarters  millions  dollars  and  shijunents  of  to- 
bacco to  Alaska,  Hawaii  and  Porto  Rico  valued  nearly  two 
million  dollars. 

The  United  States  leads  the  world  as  an  exporter  of  to- 
bacco, having  supplied  over  forty-one  million  dollars  in  a  total 
of  approximately  one  hundred  and  fifty  million  dollars.'  worth 
of  tobacco  and  manufactures  which  entered  international  mark- 
ets last  year. 

The  principal  countries  exporting  tobacco,  according  to 
figures  compiled  by  the  Bureau  of  Statistics  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce  and  Labor,  are:  The  United  States,  forty- 
one  million  dollars;  Cuba,  about  thirty-one  and  a  half  million; 
the  Dutch  ICast  Indies,  twenty-three  million;  the  L'nited  King- 
dom, seven  million ;  Brazil,  four  million,  and  Netherlands,  three 
and  a  half  million  dollars.  A  second  group  of  important  ex- 
porters of  tobacco,  with  exports  averaging  less  than  three  mil- 
lion dollars  per  annum,  includes  Eg\pt,  one  and  three-tiuarters 
million  dollars;  Austria-Hungary  and  Greece,  each  about  two 
and  one-half  million;  Germany,  China  and  Mexico,  each  about 
one  anil  one-half  million;  France  and  Algeria,  each  about  one 
and  one-(|uarter  million ;  Japan,  one  and  one-fifth  million  ;  India 
and  Switzerland,  each  about  three-quarters  of  a  million. 

In  the  exportation  of  manufactured  tobacco  Cuba  is  at  the 
head  of  the  list  with  a  total  of  thirteen  million  dollars,  compared 
with  six  million  for  the  United  Kingdom,  four  and  three- 
(|uarters  million  for  the  bruited  States,  two  and  one-half  million 
for  Netherlands,  two  and  one-third  million  for  I'gypt,  one  and 
one-half  million  each  for  Germany  and  Brazil,  one  and  one- 
quarter  million  for  France,  one  millicm  each  for  Japan  and 
Austria-Hungary,  three-c|uarters  of  a  million  for  Algeria,  and 
one-half  million  each  for  Italy,  Belgium  and  India.  Of  the  to- 
bacco ex|Kjrted  from  the  United  States,  about  eleven  per  cent, 
is  in  the  manufactured  form;  and  from  Cuba,  about  forty-five 
per  cent;  while  practically  all  the  domestic  exports  of  tobacco 
from  the  United  Kingdom,  Netherlands.  I^gypt.  Germany, 
I'Vance  and  Austria-Hungary  arc  in  the  manufactured  .state. 
Both  Germany  and  Japan  export  practically  all  of  their  tcjbacco 
in  the  form  of  cigars  and  cigarettes. 

Germany  and  the  United  States  are  the  world's  leading 
markets  for  tobacco,  Germany  being  credited  with  thirty-five 
million,  and  the  United  States  with  thirty  million  dollars'  worth 
of  imports  of  that  article,  compared  with  twenty-five  million 
dollars'  worth  imported  into  the  United  Kingdom  and  ten 
million  into  Austria-Hungary.  Countries  imi)orting  between 
four  and  ten  million  dollars'  worth  of  tobacco  annually  inchule 
France,  Belgium,  Netherlands  and  Canada. 

Of  the  tobacco  imported  into  the  United  States  in  1909 
twenty-six  million  dollars'  worth  was  raw  and  four  million 
manufactured.  Germany  imported  in  1908  raw  tobacco  valued 
at  thirty  million  and  manufactured  tobacco  at  five  million  ;  the 
United  Kingdom,  eighteen  million  raw  and  seven  million  man- 
ufactured; Austria-Hungary,  nine  million  raw  and  one  million 
manufactured,  and  India  and  the  Straits  Settlements  practically 
all  in  the  manufactured  state.  The  share  of  manufactured  to- 
bacco in  the  total  tobacco  importations  of  Australia,  the  Philip- 
pine Islands,  Sweden  and  Norway  varies  from  forty  per  cent, 
to  about  fifty  per  cent. 


Detailed  statistics  showing  the  imports  and  the  exi)orts  of 
tobacco  in  the  commerce  of  the  United  States  have  been  worked 
out  for  the  period  i8«>9  to  k^k).   IniiH)rts  of  unmanutacturetl  to- 
bacco have  increased  from  eleven  ami  three-(|uarter  million  dol- 
lars in  iS.><>  to  twenty-six  milli.m  in  1(^k>;  and  of  manufacture,! 
tobacco,  from  two  and  one-third  niilliou  to  f,nir  niilli.»n  dollar^. 
Wrapper    tobacco    comes   chiefly    from     Netherland>,     though 
grown  presumably  in  her  ICa-t  Indian  possessions ;  other  raw  to- 
bacco comes  most  largely  fn.m  Cuba,  and  in  smaller  anii.unts 
trom  Turkey  and  Germany;  our  iini>orted  cigars  come  almost 
exclusively  fn.m  Cuba.     I':xi)orts  of  tobacco  and  manufactures 
thereof  from  the  United  States  have  increased  from  thirty-five 
million  d(»llars  in  i8<>^  to  forty-one  million  in  1909.  the  unmanu- 
factured article  going  principally  to  the  United  Kingdom,  Ger- 
many,  Italy.   I'rance,  and   other   luirojiean  countries.   Austral- 
asia  and    Canada;    American   cigarettes   chiefly   to    India    and 
China,  and  plug  tobacco  mostly  to  British  Australasia.  Great 
P.ritain  and  Canada. 

The  tobacco  crop  of  the  United  States  in  u)o8  was  seven 
hundred  and  eighteen  million  pounds,  valued  at  seventy-four 
million  dollars;  the  value  of  domestic  manufacture^,  acconling 
to  the  census  of  1905.  three  hundred  and  thirty-one  niilli.ni; 
the  revenue  derived  from  domestic  t«)l)acco  in  i(^)8.  titty  mil- 
lion, and  the  total  duties  collected  on  imported  tobacco  in  the 
fiscal  year  H)(y),  twenty-three  and  one-(|uarter  million. 


Standard  Oil  and  tbe  American  Tobacco  Company. 

A  Washington  press  dispatch  remarks  that  while  the  is- 
sues before  the  Supreme  Court  alTecting  the  two  big  corpora- 
tions, the  Standard  ( )il  Co.  and  the  American  Tobacco  Co.  are 
identical  so  far  as  relates  to  combinations  in  restraint  of  Inter- 
state trade  and  commerce,  yet  there  is  a  dilTerence  not  gener- 
ally known  of. 

The  Standard  ( )il  Co.  is  charged  with  violating  the  Sher- 
man law  alone:  the  American  Tobacco  Co.  and  its  collaterals 
are  charged  with  olTen<ling  also  the  Wilson  TarilT  Act  of  1894. 
which  extended  the  a|)|)lication  of  the  Inter-state  law  to  any 
Cijuspiracy  in  restraint  of  trade,  one  party  to  which  was  an 
importer. 

Of  course,  the  Wilson  Tarifi*  :\ct  has  long  been  defunct, 
but  it  would  seem  as  though  the  .American  Tobacco  Co.  was 
still  amenable  for  violation  of  the  section  we  have  cited,  the 
company  being  importers  at  the  time  of  their  organization. 

To  all  of  these  and  to  similar  charges  the  .American  To- 
bacco Co.  asserts  most  positively  that  they  are  and  have  acted 
strictly  within  the  protection  of  the  law. 

L'ndoubtedly  the  final  deci-^ion  will  be  watcluvl  with  the 
greatest  possible  interest. 


Down  at  Mobile,  Ala.,  a  meeting  of  the  Sumatra  Tobacco 
Co.  the  other  day  showed  some  interesting  facts.  The  idea 
has  been  to  demonstrate  that  fine  wrapper  tobacco  could  be  pro- 
duce<I  in  that  locality.  This  was  done  in  i<>()8  with  entire  suc- 
cess. The  crop  in  1909  was  less  because  of  the  wet  season,  but 
the  output  was  exceedingly  fine. 


W.  J.  Hess,  of  Page,  Wash.,  has  started  a  cob  pack  fac- 
tory and  intends  every  farmer  in  I^'ranklin  County  shall  dump 
corn  cobs  at  his  door.  liut  that  isn't  all.  Hess  will  make 
cigarette  and  cigar  holders  and  pipe  stems,  too,  from  corn  cobs. 
This  will  make  things  start  off  sweet,  anyhow,  whatever  the 
nicotine  may  do  afterwards.

to  take  advantage  of  the  better  opi)ortunities  ottered  at  the

The  annual  rental  of  the  store  is  .said  to  be  $i5,(kxj.

The  Flavoring  of  Tobacco. 

Little  Rock,  .\kk.,  h'ebruary  18. 
ICditors,  TiiK  ToB.vcco  World: 

As  the  result  of  a  discussion  between  two  tobacco  men 
overheard  recently,  and  being  myself  a  heavy  consumer  of  the 
weed,  J  am  prompted  to  present  to  you  some  views  on  the  sub- 
ject of  tobacco  flavoring. 

While  I  have  no  desire  to  pose  as  a  competent  critic,  I  of- 
fer it  in  the  hope  that  it  may  prove  suggestive,  as  a  contribu- 
tion to  the  columns  of  your  breezy  publication. 

Do  we  note  suflficiently  how  susceptible  the  tobacco  leaf  is 
to  delicate  flavorings  ? 

Tobacco  needs  no  dope !  It  possesses  to  an  ample  degree 
the  (|ualities  of  a  narcotic.  Of  itself  alone  it  is  comforting, 
refreshing  and  helpful  when  properly  used!  Nevertheless,  to- 
bacco generally  has  a  great  affinity  for  and  some  varieties  a  pos- 
itive nee<l  of  delicate  and  harmless  flavorings.  This  means  that 
some  tobaccos  in  their  crude  state  arc  repellant  to  the  human 
taste.  Whether  for  smoking  or  chewing,  such  leaves  need  the 
aid  and  adjunctiv  help  of  scientific  flavoring. 

Our  use  of  the  word  "flavor"  is  meant  to  be  broad.  To  a 
vast  number  of  consumers  the  use  of  saccharine  materials, 
which  is  to  say  molasses,  syrup,  sugar,  licorice  and  sundry  other 
sweets  concealed  under  different  names,  is  quite  the  "flavor" 
that  they  desire.    They  like  tobacco  made  sweet,  whether  for 


chewing  or  sm(»king.  rhere'>  a  reason.  The  craving  f«)r  sweets 
i>  elemental ;  >o  al>o  is  the  craving  for  the  «>iimuiation  and  si.»lace 
which  is  found  in  tobacco.  Thus  it  i>  that  when  c<»mbined  cer- 
tain sweetstutVs  and  certain  tobaccos  afford  a  jolly  alliance 
which  goe>  right  h<»me  to  the  sp.>t.  Hence  the  «|ui«l  of  the  jollv 
tar;  the  pipe  auil  plug  of  the  s, .Idier  on  the  march;  the  "after- 
dinner  "  of  the  rich,  the  >iesta  of  all  who  manage  to  (Hiii  work 
and  take  a  >moke.  The  tlavor  in  all  this  has  made  the  tohacco 
acceptable  tt>  the  tongue  ;  to  deprive  the  user  of  this  >olace  would 
be  cruelty  unspeakable. 

Tm;  Mnsm  Kv  wd  MixisrKV  ok  a  (i(M»n  I'l wok. 

()f  course,  we  are  only  hinting  at  the  subject  of  tobacco 
flavoring  projier.  i.  e..  flavorings  other  than  mere  sweets.  Not 
a  few  of  them  are  secrets.  .No  curer  is  apt  to  reveal  that  which 
imparts  delicac\.  /est  ami  purity  of  taste  to  liis  tobacco.  It  is 
the  "superior  flavor  '  which  sells  it  an<l  enables  the  maker  often 
to  get  UK)  per  cent  to  jck)  per  cent,  more  for  his  weed  thati  his 
neighbor. 

There  are  pn>bably  many  brands  of  "Log  Cabin  "  chewing 
tobacco  sold  now,  but  we  recalled  the  tobacco  >old  un«ler  this 
name  some  twenty-five  years  ago.  which  took  a  wonderful  hol»| 
South  on  the  fraternity  of  tobacco  chewers.  The  flavoring  was 
rich  and  fruity;  so  delicate  indeed  that  one  forgot  that  he  was 
chewing  tobacco.  It  suggested  dates,  or  figs,  ami  perhajrs  they 
fxjssibly  played  a  small  part  in  its  treatment. 

Cndoubtedly  the  ( iravely  output  is  handled  by  artists  in 
this  line.  Little  is  done  to  rob  this  famous  leaf  of  its  natural 
pungency  and  aroma,  but  there  is  a  bewitching  flavor  injected 
into  it  which  enables  the  makers  to  get  the  highest  price  in  the 
market.  Not  every  man  can  chew  it,  but  he  who  can  wants 
nothing  else.  The  writer  has  chewn  from  l>oyluM)d  and  feels 
awfully  wise.     He  speaks  by  the  card. 

Drummond's  Natural  Leaf  is  a  plug  tobacco  which  is  called 
for  in  every  important  shoj).  It  is  a  bright,  cleanly  looking 
tobacco  and  suggests  growth  in  the  open  field  with  bright  sun- 
shine to  bring  (uit  its  virtues.  The  taste  suggests  a  bath  in 
sugar  syrup,  and  yet  it  is  not  too  sweet. 

Our  wonder  has  been  that  more  plug  tobacco  makers  have 
not  striven  for  a  bright  golden  chewing  tobacco  from  clean 
leaves,  freed  of  all  excrescences  and  artistically  flavored  and 
golden  all  through.  There  are  pr(»bably  not  ten  chewing  bran<ls 
in  the  market  to-day  which  would  respond  to  this  descri|)tion. 

There  is  an  old  saw  which  is.  "Season  it.  madam."  and  is 
aj)|)licd  t«)  cooking.  As  to  Virginia  tobacco  we  would  say, 
"Mavor  it.  Colonel,  and  sec  that  the  flavor  is  right." 

Done  right  it  will  remind  you  of  the  "chew"  which  fol- 
lowed the  flask  in  the  trenches  bcff»re  Petersburg.

lias  cxpcTit-ncid  an  cxcqnionally  dull  jjcriod.  X'isit- 
u)'^  hat  tohacTo  salesmen,  like  cij^^ar  manufacturers,  also  com- 
plain that  manufacturer^  are  not  willing  to  make  any  purchases 
at  present. 

<  >n  the  otiur  hand,  a  local  leaf  house  rcfxirts  good  sales 
lately,  ewn  announcing  that  certain  mamifacturers  who  were 
heretofore  Inlying  only  in  single  case  lots  are  now  taking  3,  5 
and  even  as  nmch  as  10  cases  of  certain  types  of  leaf. 

In  endeavoring  to  get  at  the  causes  of  the  situation  a  well- 
known  house  here  advanced  the  theory  that  much  r»f  the  trouble 
was  nr)  douht  i\\\v  t<.  the  anti-saloon  crusade,  and  that  the  in- 
crease in  the  cost  of  living  had  also  much  to  do  with  necessarv 
lurlailment  of  spending  money,  and  that  consecjuently  fewer 
cigars  were  heing  bought. 

(*.  r.  ^iery  has  purchased  the  retail  cigar  business  at  Sev- 
enth and  l-ranklin  streets  of  Jc.hu  U.  Fehr  cS:  Son.  and  will  do 
a  manufacturing  and  retail  business.  Mr.  Gerv  came  to  Read- 
ing from  ICast  ( ireenville.  where  he  had  for  many  years  been 
connecte«l  with  cigar  factories  and  is  a  thoroughlv  practical 
man   in   the  mamifacturing  business. 

John  X.  bVhr  iK-  Si>n  have  removed  their  oflRces  to  630 
I'ranklin  street  to  give  possession  to  Mr.  Gery  of  their  former 
prennses  at  Seventh  and  Franklin. 

John  r,.  Spatz.  of  J.  G.  Spatz  i<t  Co.,  returned  this  week 
from  an  extended  l)usiness  trip  through  the  West  and  South- 
west. ITis  visit  this  time  was  of  more  than  ordinary  length 
because  he  covered  a  greater  area  of  territory  than  usual.  It 
is  atmoimced  that  he  has  again  met  with  his  usual  good  success 
during  his  stay. 

TTenry  Hcymann's  Sons  arc  ninning  along  nicely.  While 
iQoo  was  their  banner  year,  they  have  every  expectation  of 
eclipsing  it  during  TQin. 

George  W.  Lehr  is  now  on  a  short  trip  among  bis  old 
ctistoniers.  TTis  prospects  arc  brighter  than  for  some  time 
past  of  now  establishing  a  new  record.  Perceptible  gains  have 
thus  far  been  made  over  last  year. 

The  closing  of  the  cigar  box  plant  formerly  in  operation  at 
Sinking  .Si)ring  has  brought  considerable  work  to  several  of  the 
box  factories  in  Reading,  consequently  box  manufacturers  re- 
port a  good  business,  even  at  the  present  time. 

Both  Charles  and  Daniel  A.  Fleck,  of  the  Fleck  Cigar  Com- 
pany, are  at  present  on  the  road.  The  latter  is  covering  West- 
ern trade  and  the  senior  of  the  firm  has  been  covering  Eastern 
Pennsylvania. 

L  M.  Tacoby,  of  Meyer  Si  Mendelsohn,  New  York,  has 
been  circulating  in  the  trade  here  recently. 

C.  K.  W^agner,  of  L.  C.  Wagner  &  Co.,  New  York,  im- 
lM)rters  of  cigar  labels,  bands,  etc.,  has  just  made  his  initial 
visit  to  Reading.  He  was  well  received  here  and  succeerled  in 
o|)ening  a  number  of  desirable  new  accounts  for  high-class 
goods. 

Charles  M.  Yetter  &  Co.,  Inc.,  have  lately  received  some 
encouraging  (Orders  fn^ii  the  West,  and  prospects  for  better 
business  are  constantly  growing  brighter.  A  new  brand  of 
goods  will  .soon  he  introduced  by  them. 

The  Old  Honesty  Cigar  Box  Company  is  among  the 
busiest  industries  in  town.  In  fact,  they  report  an  exceptional 
run  of  business. 

l'>ank  Gauter  is  among  the  more  fortunate  manufacturers 
in  recently  booking  orders  for  large  (|uantities  of  goods  for 
future  delivery.  This  factory,  which  was  established  in  1876, 
was  never  before  more  prosperous. 


K.  B.  STONER 


E.  B.  Stoner,   Gaining  Prominence  as  a  Tobacco  Manufac- 
turer at  Hellam,  Pa. 


T 


II^RR  are  several  establishments  in  York  County,  Pa., 
which  have  been  notably  successful  as  manufacturers 
of  chewing  and  smoking  tobacco.  It  is  not  always 
from  the  largest  places  that  the  most  successful  oper- 
ati(jns  are  launched,  but  in  imiumerable  instances,  the  real  start 
of  .successful  manufacturers  was  obtained  in  a  beginning  that 
was  made  in  a  smaller  place.  We  have  such  an  illustration  in 
the  establishment  of  E.  B.  Stoner,  of  Hellam,  York  County, 
Pa.,  who  only  a  couple  of  years  ago  coininenced  the  manufac- 
ture of  chewing  and  smoking  tobacco  in  his  home  town  and 
on  a  .small  .scale.  Evidently  he  knew  perfectly  well  what  he 
was  trying  to  do  for  success  appears  to  have  been  with  him 
from  the  start. 

Considerable  time  was,  of  course,  consumed  in  determining 
upon  just  the  right  blends,  and  then  the  right  eciuipment  for 
profitable  operations  and  both  of  those  difficulties  have  been 
happily  overcome,  and  Mr.  Stoner  is  to-day  in  possession  of  a 
thoroughly  equipped  plant  possessing  thoroughly  modern  im- 
provements, and  well  calculated  for  their  particular  purpose. 
From  a  sanitary  point  of  view  there  is  probably  not  a  better 
c(|uipped  plant  in  the  State,  and  the  entire  operations  of  the 
factory  are  under  the  constant  and  personal  supervision  of  Mr. 
Stoner  who  has  all  his  lifetime  been  engaged  in  the  tobacco 
trade,  beginning  in  his  earlier  years  as  a  grower,  he  later  en- 
gaged in  the  packing  industry  and  followed  that  by  manu- 
facturing. 

It  is  (juite  clear  from  these  facts  that  he  is  especially  well 
prepared  for  the  rather  difficult  undertaking  which  he  chose, 
and  which  he  has  succeeded  in  to  a  remarkable  extent,  and  now 
has  on  the  market  selling  well  and  repeating  steadily  in  orders 
from  his  distributors  several  brands,  among  which  are  the 
"Silver  Cup,"  "Lion,"  "Two  Toms,"  Barker"  and  "Natural 
Smoke". 


York  Trade  Seems  Quiet. 
Brighter  Prospects  for  March-Leaf  Buying  at  a  Standstill. 

York.   I'a..  bVl).  jS. 

LTIM  )l'(;il  the  figures  of  .sale  of  cigar  stamps  during 
the  mtMitli  of  IVbruary  are  not  yet  available  at  the 
Internal  Kevenue  (  )tfice.  there  is  every  likelili<...d  that 
there  will  be  shown  a  vast  falling  otY  in  the  j)roduction 
of  cigars  during  the  month.  (  )f  course,  h'ebruary  is  an  excep- 
tionally short  month  and  several  holidays  have  al.so  intervened, 
but  there  has  been  a  dull  business  throughout  the  month  which 
is  bound  to  show  up  in  the  rei)ort  <d'  the  sale  of  revenue  stamps. 
Leaf  tobacco  men  all  report  that  manufacturers  are  buviuL' 
(»nly  sparingly  just  now,  and  they  do  not  look  for  nuich  im- 
provement beftire  the  middle  of  March.  .Manufacturers  say 
there  are  few  orders  coming  in  by  mail,  and  that  representatives 
now  on  tlie  road  are  a|)i)arently  not  meeting  with  much  en- 
couragement. 

Warren  Beck  cK'  Itro.,  of  this  city,  are  having  a  good  jncal 
demand  for  their  "Billy  Possum"  brand,  and  besides  the  goods 
are  beginning  to  bring  in  some  <luplicate  orders  from  other  ter- 
ritory in  which  they  have  been  introduced.  It  is  their  intentiini 
of  begimiing  at  t)nce  a  policy  of  greater  exploitation,  being  sat- 
isfied that  tlie  (|uality  of  the  g<»(Mls  is  meeting  the  taste  of  the 
consuming  public.  This  is  a  nickel  ]>roposition  of  a  standard 
article,  and  the  gotnls  are  being  placed  with  jobbing  houses 
through(»ut  the  country. 

II.  l'\  Kohler.  of  Xashville.  has  experienced  but  a  very 
short  iiUerval  of  slack  orders  from  his  customers  and  who  are 
among  the  largest  distributing  houses  in  the  country.  The 
salesmen  representing  this  maiuifacturer  are  al.so  said  to  be  get- 
ting many  repeat  orders  from  their  respective  territories,  and 
the  two  factories  operated  are  being  kei)t  at  work  stea<lily. 

T.  1).  Hene,  of  the  Tedal  Leaf  Tobacco  Co..  recently  re- 
turned from  a  business  trij)  to  New  York.  Mr.  Ifene  also  rep- 
resents Haas  Bros.,  of  Cincinati,  in  the  >ale  of  Morida  t(i- 
baccos. 

H.  V.  ^^artin  contemplates  another  business  trip  among  his 
jobbers  in  the  near  future.  The  "Keen-Kutter"  made  by  this 
factory  has  kept  up  remarkably  well  in  sales  notwithstanding  a 
dull  spell  with  most  cigar  manufacturers. 

W.  M.  Siers,  a  well-known  cigar  broker  of  Altoona,  has 
been  circulating  lately  among  the  cigar  manufacturers  in  this 
.section.  Mr.  Siers  has  for  twenty-six  years  represented  certain 
factories  in  this  vicinity  and  established  an  enviable  record  of 
sales  for  them,  and  which  re(|uire(l  practically  their  entire  out- 
put . 

J.  A.  Shuhart.  a  cigar  broker  of  this  city,  who  represents 
several  Yf)rk  county  factories,  is  now  away  on  a  trip.  Even 
though  business  is  dull,  he  reports  some  orders  from  his  former 
customers  and  has  succeeded  in  introducing  several  new  lines 
of  goods. 

*  Aden  Buser,  a  cigar  box  luamifacturer  at  Longstown,  a  few 
miles  out  of  York  is  in  financial  difficulties.  His  liabilities  have 
been  variously  placed  at  from  $15,000  to  Sj^.ckx).  Quite  a  num- 
ber of  local  tradesmen  and  a  number  of  New  York  firms  are 
effected  by  this  misfortune. 

As  a  result  of  the  closing  down  of  the  cigar  box  factory  of 
.\(len  Buser  at  Longstown,  box  factories  here  are  getting  some 
new  business,  and  in  fact  one  factory  reports  that  it  is  having 
about  all  the  business  it  can  handle  with  its  present  facilities. 

R.  M.  Granat,  of  Robt.  M.  Granat  &  Co.,  is  on  an  extended 
business  trip  and  when  last  heard  from  he  was  in  Chicago.  The 
writer  is  informed  that  the  trip  thus  far  has  been  an  encour- 
agingly good  one. 

At  East  Prospect  the  industry  seems  to  be  fairly  good  if 
the  statement  luade  by  cigar  manufacturers  can  be  taken  as  a 
criterion,  and  that  is  usually  a  very  safe  barometer.  Additional 
hands  we  are  told  are  being  employed. 


r.uymg  of  the  new  crop<  ,,f  tobacco  has  not  been  progress-

A  new  cigar  factory  was  started  a  few  days  ag..  by  \.  W  . 
Kohler  at  ^  ..e.  (  )perations  were  c .mmence<l  in  a  small  wa\.  ui 
course,  but  there  are  now  a  number  of  factories  in  that  town 
which  made  an  even  less  auspicious  beginning,  and  .\lr.  Kohler 
has  the  best  wisjies  of  many  friends.

What  is  the  Secret  of  Smoking  Enjoyment? 

Medical  Men  Try  to  Explain  It  But  They  Disagree. 

\h:  of  the  most  bal'iling  problems  of  which  explana- 
tion has  been  attempted  is  that  of  the  reason  for  the 
enjoyment  derived  from  the  use  of  tobacco.    One  of 
the  many  doctors  who  disagree  on  the  subject  declares 
that  the  nicotine  has  nothing  to  do  with  the  fun  of  smoking. 

"It  seems  doubtful,"  says  he,  "whether  the  nicotine  ordi- 
narily absorbed  has  any  action  whatever.  Perhaps  the  local 
etYects  on  the  mouth,  nose  and  throat  play  a  larger  part  in  the 
eiTects  of  tobacco  than  is  generally  recognized. 

"A  certain  amount  of  rhythmic  movement  demanding  an 
exertion  seems  in  itself  to  have  a  soothing,  pleasure-giving 
etTect,  for  it  is  otherwise  impossible  to  explain  the  satisfaction 
enjoyed  by  many  in  chewing  tasteless  objects  such  as  gum  or 

straws. 

"A  curious  fact  which  goes  to  show  that  tobacco  smoking 
is  not  carried  on  for  the  sake  of  the  nicotine  absorbed  is  that 
the  pleasure  derived  from  a  pipe  or  cigar  is  alx)lishe(l  for  many 
persons  if  the  smoke  is  not  seen,  as  when  it  is  smoked  in  the 

dark." 

Hut  this  view  doesn't  satisfy  a  writer  in  the  Dietetic  and 
Ihyieiiic  Gazette.  That  nicotine  or  some  other  contained  sub- 
stance has  some  effect  upon  the  body  everyone  who  has  tried 
his  first  cigar  has  had  indelibly  impressed  upon  his  conscious- 
ness. 

The  leaves  of  the  Pituri  plant,  which  is  used  by  the  natives 
of  Australia  in  the  same  way  as  tobacco,  contains  a  substance 
which  is  practically  identical  in  its  physiologic  action  with 
nicotine.  "Except  this  plant,"  says  the  writer,  "so  far  as  we 
know  no  other  material,  even  in  this  day  of  substitutions,  has 
ever  been  successfully  used  instead  of  tobacco. 

"No  young  man'  as  far  as  we  are  cognizant,  ever  became 
habituated  to  the  smoking  of  hayseed  or  formed  the  corn  silk 
habit  for  life  or  became  a  pennyroyal  or  cubeb  fiend.    All  these

it 


articles  of  juvenile  experience  furnish  abundant  smoke  wreaths 
and  as  much  rhythmic  movement  as  tobacco  itself. 

••Lvidently  there  is  something  in  the  drug  which  appeals  to 
the  mind  through  its  bodily  etYects,  doubtless  through  .some 
depressant  action  by  which  it  partially  closes  the  sensory  ap- 
proaches to  the  brain  and  allows  it  to  dwell  in  less  desturbed 
self-satisfaction. 

"The  very  fact,  however,  that  smoking  in  the  dark  gives 
less  or  no  pleasure  attests  the  vast  etTect  which  sensory  accom- 
paniments play  and  how  sadly  these  are  missed,  while  it  rules 
out  the  importance  of  rhythmic  activity  which  goes  on  as  well 
in  the  dark  as  in  the  light. 

"Dr.  Cavanagh  of  London  has  recently  statetl  the  smoke 
theory  of  tobacco  more  elaborately  in  connectiim  with  the 
hygiene  of  the  eyes.  He  says  that  the  benefit  claimed  for  to- 
bacco would  seem  to  depend  upon  the  actual  visual  perception 
of  the  clouds  of  smoke  which  acts  as  a  rhytlnnically  recurring 
shield  from  harsher  eye  stimulation  *  *  *  it  soothes  by  its  own 
color  as  well  as  by  cutting  otT  the  sensations,  and  he  believes  it 
re«4ts  the  eyes  further  by  relaxing  accommodation. 

"While  this  is  all  very  ingenious,  we  doubt  if  the  most  ex- 
treme preacher  of  the  most  disastrous  results  of  eye  strain 
could  agree  that  tobacco  smoke  affords  much  relief  to  this  con- 
dition, much  less  that  this  is  the  ground  for  the  formation  and 
continuance  of  the  smoking  habit. 

"To  the  mind  of  the  writer  there  is  one  thing  in  connection 
with  smoking  which  in  addition  to  its  probable  intluence  in 
stupefying  certain  realms  of  the  nervous  sy.steni  helps  to  ex- 
plain the  etTects  of  the  habit  which  is  that  it  gives  employment 
to  a  certain  group  of  moter  centres  and  in  so  doing  drains  off  a 
sui)ernuous  amount,  an  overflow  of  nervous  energy  for  which 
otherwise  we  have  no  convenient  outlet. 

"The  act  of  smoking  and  of  watching  smoke  affords  an 
<Kcupation  for  the  mind  which  would  otlierwise  be  working 
upon  itself  or  unraveling  some  troublesome  ])rol)lem.  It  is  in 
giving  the  mind  the  recreation  of  mere  cloUd  gazing  instead  of 
an  immediate  return  to  business  cares  or  to  the  thiiikin<'  about 
them  that  the  after-dinner  cigar  produces  its  chief  effect  in 
|)n»moting  digestion  and  the  normal  progress  of  food  matter 
through  the  body. 

"It  is  doubtful  whether  any  of  the  contained  alkaloids  of 
tobacco  have  in  themselves  much  effect  in  this  direction.  At 
any  rate,  they  have  never,  through  all  the  centuries  of  drug 
experimentation  been  used  directly  for  this  purpose  with  any 
success." 


Tobacco  Growing  in  Turkey. 
Effort  to  Enlarge  Crops — Cultural  Methods  and  Shipments. 

Consul-Ceneral  Ernest  L.  Harris,  writing  from  Smyrna, 
gives  the  following  particulars  concerning  the  tobacco-growing 
industry  in  that  part  of  Asia  Mim^r: 

Fonnerly  the  only  tobacco  cultivated  in  the  vilayet  or  prov- 
ince of  Aidin  was  that  known  as  Magnesia  tobacco,  which  was 
finely  flavored,  contained  a  good  (piantity  of  saltpeter,  and 
caused  no  irritation  to  the  throat.  This  tobacco  was  consumed 
throughout  the  vilayets  of  Aidin  and  Konia  and  its  culture  was 
imi)ortant  in  the  Casaz  of  Saroukhan.  Since  the  establishment 
of  the  Regie  (monopoly),  planters,  believing  that  the  former 
was  obliged  to  buy  all  the  tobacco  produced,  started  to  grow 
the  plant  on  a  large  scale,  paying  no  attention  to  (|uality.  This 
subse(|uently  resulted  in  the  substitution  for  Magnesia  tobacco 
of  that  known  as  Ayassolouk  (ancient  Ephesus)  tobacco, 
termed  after  the  locality  in  which  it  was  cultivated  for  the  first 
time.  The  seed  was  taken  from  European  Turkey  and  the  crop 
obtained  was  very  satisfactory.  Ayassolouk  tobacco  can  not 
be  used  alone :  it  must  be  mixed  with  other  grades  in  the  j)ro- 
portion  of  from  3  to  to.  The  best  field  gets  exhausted  in  five  or 
SIX  years  and  it  can  not  produce  g(XMl  Ayassolouk  tobacco 
thereafter. 


Sow  INC  .\M)  Hakvk.stim;. 

See«l  is  sown  ab.»ut  the  middle  of  December,  and  cultiva- 
tion in  the  open  fields  take>  place  during  the  months  of  March 
and  Ajiril.  The  plant  re<|uires  rain,  especially  in  .\pril  and  .May. 
Tobacco  fields  are  divided  into  three  large  groups,  the  crops  of 
which  vary  in  (|uantity  accordingly:  (  )n  uplands,  from  S.S  to 
110  p(»unds  per  stremma  (about  a  third  •>!  an  acre);  on  low 
uplands.  fn)m  143  to  n>*S  pouiuls;  ami  from  jjo  to  551  and 
sometimes  over  (>(>i  pounds  in\  the  plain.  Harvesting  takes 
place  in  July  or  September,  acconling  to  the  li^-ality.  starting 
from  the  lower  leaves,  which  ripen  first,  and  going  graduallv 
t(>  the  top  of  the  plant,  wlure  the  best  tobacco  is  ohtaineil.  This 
work  is  done  at  dawn,  after  dew  moistens  the  plant.  The 
"dipia"  and  the  "dipo^tou,"'  or  l.-wer  leaves,  are  placed  and 
|)acked  together,  while  all  the  other  vari(»us  leaves  are  each 
l)laced  separatel).  .\fter  the  tobacco  dries — when  its  leaves 
turn  yellow — it  is  taken  to  storelutusc-s.  where  it  is  more  «»r  less 
sorted  and  packed  into  small  bales.  This  work  is  done  gener- 
ally in  the  interior  ni  the  country   where  labor  is  elieap. 

Toward  the  months  of  June  and  Jul>.  when  the  tobacco  is 
still  standing  in  the  fields,  experts  from  the  Kegie  examine  and 
estimate  the  entire  crop.  When  selling  his  tobacco  the  pro- 
ducer is  re(|uired  to  inform  the  Kegie  where  a  current  account 
is  kept  in  order  to  check  the  ((uantity  shipped.  11, ^  keys  of  the 
.stores  are  kept  by  employees  of  the  Kegie.  and  whenever  the 
owner  wants  to  shij)  merchandise  he  informs  the  latter,  so  tli.it 
the  tobacco  may  he  weighed  an«l  a  shipping  permit  received. 

SizK  OF  Crop  .n.nd  I'ku  ks. 

The  principal  producing  centers  are  (iiaourkeui,  .\yasso- 
louk  (ancient  h'phesus),  Coush-.\dassi  (  .Sea la  .\ova).  ( iher- 
onda,  .\k-Keui,  .\lelossos,  .\loughla.  Ak-llissar,  Cara  .\ghania. 
Odemisch,  Tirghi.  Lighda,  Thyra.  T.aindir,  etc.  A  good  annual 
crop  amounts  to  about  5.N»o,(kk)  |M»unds  of  tobacco.  In  i<;oj 
the  .\merican  Tobacc«)  Company  having  bought  tobacco  at  high 
prices,  planters  cultivate«l  the  plant  on  a  large  scale,  and  in 
n><)3  th  crop  reached  25,(xx).(XK)  i>ounds.  During  siih^o(|uent 
years,  however,  the  crop  again  declined  t<)  its  present  annual 
yield.

The    Lumber   Situation.

month  the  cij^'ar  \utx  manufacturers  here  feel  that  trade  lias 
kept  u])  encouraj^diij^dy  well.  It  can  be  attributed,  however, 
larj^H'ly  to  the  facts  tliat  the  lar.m'r  manufacturers  of  this  city 
have  been  kept  moderately  busy.  ] 'rices  on  lumber  a])pear  to 
be  advaiicinjj^,  altlioujj;li  no  material  chan<.(c  in  the  prices  of  the 
finishe*!  l)<)xes  have  yet  been  made  to  the  ciJ,^'lr  trade.  '1  he 
possibility  of  such  an  action  beconiin,^,^  absolutely  necessary  is 
causinj^j  some  little  dissatisfaction  in  the  box  tra<le  and  if  the 
demand  for  boxes  should  increase  and  lumber  prices  continue 
to  stifTen  the  cijjjar  box  manufacturers  will  i)robably  find  their 
onlv  salvation  in  an  advance  of  prices. 


Manufacturers*     Report. 

Rcj)orts  from  cigar  box  manufacturers  are  almost  unani- 
mous to  the  elTect  that  trade  during  the  month  of  b\'bruary  was 
somewhat  below  late  averages.  It  was  a  short  month  at  any 
rate  and  in  several  States  several  legal  iKtlidays  also  intervened 
which  has  reduced  the  actual  number  of  business  days  to  a 
minimum.  It  would  be  unfair,  however,  to  intimate  that  the 
box  men  are  discouraged  for,  in  comuion  with  cigar  manufac- 
turers, they  feel  that  there  will  be  a  noticeable  revival  in  the 
cigar  trade  during  the  present  year,  and  in  which  they  must  of 
necessity  ])articipate  to  a  considerable  extent. 

PTTTr.ADFJ.riTTA. 

Jen^me  Tl.  Sheip,  formerly  connected  with  Sheip  &  Vandc- 
grift.  Philulelphia,  has  taken  an  office  in  the  Lan<l  Title  l»uild- 
ing  at  llroad  and  Chestnut  streets  and  will  engage  extensively 


in  the  lumber  business,  and  it  is  (juite  likely  that  he  will  make 
cigar  box  lumber  a  specialty.  lie  has  an  ac(|uaintance  with  the 
cigar  box  trade  throughout  the  entire  country  and  we  believe 
that  he  has  reason  to  feel  hopeful  of  building  up  an  extensive 
foljdwing  froni  among  them. 

The  11.  II.  .Sheip  Mfg.  Co.  report  that  business  is  now 
coming  in  fairly  goo<l  shape  an<l  that  the  dull  spell  which  they 
intticed  immediately  after  New  Near  seems  to  be  broken.  This 
housy  is  confident  that  within  a  short  time  business  will  take  a 
decided  turn  for  the  better.  They  also  declare  that  in  view  of 
the  steady  advance  in  the  price  of  lumber  it  is  becoming  abso- 
lutely necessary  to  get  more  money  for  the  manufactured 
product.  No  attempt  has  yet  been  made  to  raise  the  price,  but 
they  expect  that  a  general  movement  in  that  direction  is  bound 
to  come  before  loug. 

Sheip  &  \  aiidegrift.  Inc.,  state  that  tln^y  liavt  experienced 
a  good  healthy  business  during  l"\'bruary  with  an  actual  in- 
crease in  the  demand  in  several  departments  of  their  business. 
There  is  evidence  that  is  still  much  encouragement  for  the  situ- 
ation and  are  satisfied  that  a  general  improvement  will  be 
noticeable  within  the  next  few  weeks.  They  have  had  a  good 
business  not  only  in  their  cigar  box  department,  and  in  the  cigar 
box  lumber  department  they  say  that  they  have  been  actually 
l)usy.  Lumber  has  been  advancing  steadily,  they  .say,  and  that 
it  is  only  a  <|uestion  of  time  until  they  have  to  ask  higher  prices 
for  boxes.  They  say  it  will  be  absolutely  impossible  to  make 
l>oxes  at  the  prices  obtained  for  them  during  last  year,  if  the 
present  price  of  lumber  juevails.  In  fact,  they  figure  it  out 
that  the  box  manufacturer  will  soon  have  no  alternative  and 
that  he  will  have  to  obtain  more  money  for  his  goods  or  he  will 
eventually  be  force<l  out  by  actual  kisses. 

NEW  YORK. 

A  novel  package  is  being  offered  the  trade  by  The  Chas. 
Stut^f  Co.  and  is  called  the  ])yrograpliic  cigar  box.  It  is  pro- 
duced in  a  burnt  wood  afi'ect  and  invented  and  patented  by  Mr. 
(has.  Stutz  of  that  firm.  By  the  use  of  this  box  no  litho- 
graphic work  is  re(|uired,  no  paper  used  except  for  inside  lin- 
ing. Th  corners  are  either  dove-tailed  or  nailed  just  as  re- 
(|uired.  In  ai)pearancc  it  is  certainly  a  handsome  package  and 
it  doubtless  will  ])r()ve  (|uite  an  innovation  in  the  box  trade. 

CINCINNATL 
Recent  strikes  among  cigar  manufacturers  in  Cincinnati 
has  naturally  had  the  effect  of  interfering  with  business  of  the 
boxmakers  to  some  extent.  lUit  trade  has  been  somewabt  bet- 
ter during  the  i)ast  couple  of  weeks,  as  the  strike  difficulty  is 
about  Hearing  a  solution. 

The  P.astian  Cigar  Box  Co.  has  completed  its  removal  to 
223  West  Liberty  street  and  operations  in  the  new  premises 
have  been  in  progress  for  the  past  four  weeks.  The  house  re- 
ports that  the  installation  of  some  new  nailing  and  sawing  ma- 
chines they  will  have  as  complete  a  i)laut  as  they  could  hope 
for.  They  are  well  ef|uipj)ed  with  a  goodly  supply  of  lumber 
to  last  them  i<n-  .some  months  to  come,  and  regard  the  present 
outlook  as  very  favorable  to  them. 


H.  S.  SOUDER 

Prominent  Cigar  Box  Manufacturer  at 
Souderton,  I'a. 


The  Geise  Cigar  Box  Co.  has  been  kept  moderately  busy, 
and  they  take  the  general  improvement  in  business  conditions 
as  a  fair  indication  that  the  cigar  box  makers  can  also  expect 
a  reasonable  gain  in  the  volume  of  business  which  they  may 
do.  The  recent  Cincinnati  strike  did  not  reflect  any  particular 
adverse  effects  in  their  business. 

The  Aman  &  Sandman  Co.  have  recently  been  giving  con- 
siderable attention  to  the  development  of  a  larger  business  in 
the  making  of  packing  boxes,  and  from  all  accounts  they  have 
succeeded  encouragingly  well,  with  a  number  of  new  customers 
on  their  books.  They  announce  that  they  find  that  cedar  is  still 
a  mighty  scarce  article  and  they  do  not  expect  any  perceptible 
reduction  in  the  price  of  lumber  for  some  time  to  come,  al- 
though they  anticipate  the  arrival  of  a  considerable  (juantity 
of  cedar  logs  in  New  York  this  spring. 

DETROIT. 
With  a  steady  business  among  cigar  manufacturers  both 
in  this  city  and  throughout  the  State  the  demand  for  cigar  boxes 
has  also  shown  a  steady  improvement  during  this  month.  The 
present  trade  conditions  are  all  the  more  pleasing  because  of 
the  fact  that  they  are  regular  and  box  makers  can  continue  box 
making  upon  a  regular  scale  of  time.  Overwork  is  nc^t  regarded 
as  profitable  business  in  the  box  industry,  consetiuently  a  steady 
demand  for  boxes  is  decidedly  more  preferable  than  so  many 
rush  orders  all  coming  in  in  a  heap. 


A  Bo.ston  man  who  lo.st  $1500  on  the  street  rewarded  the 
boy  who  found  it  with  a  stogie.  Query:  How  much  money 
would  the  man  have  to  lose  in  order  to  make  him  part  with  an 
Havana  cigar? 


CLEVELA.XD. 
The  first  two  months  of  business  for  1910  have  been  upon 
he  whole  rather  .satisfactory  to  the  box  makers  here  Orders 
have  reached  the  box  manufacturers  stea<lilv  and  some  have 
been  of  considerable  si/e.  bactories  are  all  reported  to  be  run- 
M.ng  on  fu  1  tune  and  the  usual  forces  of  emplovees  are  fiu.ling 
steady  xyork.  The  lumber  market  <loes  not  show  much  change 
and  while  (piotations  are  firm  a  sufficient  supplv  has  been  so  far 
obtainable.

The  box  manufacturing  firm  of  IJrinker  \-  1  labaney  report 
that  their  business  was  much  better  during  bebruary  than  it

Bottom  Facts  About  Burley. 

Tobacco  Sold  and  on  Hand. 

The  Louisi'illc  Courier-Journal  of  I'ebruarv  i8lh  has  the 
following  official   facts  coiiceruiiig  Burley  tran.sactions: 

"When  shown  the  statement  published  in  a  Cincinnati 
paper  this  morning  that  more  Hurley  tobacco  of  the  crop  of 
1909  had  already  been  .s,.ld  on  the  open  markets  than  the  Burley 
Tobacco  Company  claimed  to  have  in  its  pcx)l,  Miss  Alice 
Lloyd,  head  of  the  publicity  bureau  of  the  company,  made  the 
following  statement : 

"  This  is  not  borne  out  by  the  figures.  The  society  has 
in  the  pool  120,000,000  pounds  out  of  an  estimated  crop  of  196,- 
000,000  pounds.  The  latest  reports  show  that  the  following 
amounts  of  Burley  tobacco  have  been  sold  so  far  on  the  chief 
markets: 

'Louisville,  27,000,000  pounds. 
'Lexington,  i9,ooo,ocx)  ixjunds. 
"  '(Including  1,500.00^3  jxainds  resold.) 
'"Alt.  Sterling,  15,000,000;  Cincinnati.  3,000,000.     This  is 
a  total  of  62,5(X).o(X)  pounds,  with  possibly  8,cxx),ooo  or  10,000,- 
(X)0  from  all  other  i)laces.     So  you  will  see  that  the  statement 
that  the  bulk  of  the  Burley  crop  has  been  sold  outside  the  poo! 
is  ridiculous.'  "

Ninth  District  Production  During    1909. 

According  to  inventories  filed  in  the  Internal  Revenue  De- 
partment the  production  during  the  year  of  uyty^)  in  the  Ninth 
District  of  Pennsylvania  amounted  to  310,213,720  cigars  and 
288.552  |)oun(ls  of  chewing  and  smoking  tobacco.  The  reve- 
nue realized  by  the  Government  during  that  year  on  cigars 
amounted  to  .$930,641.16  and  the  revenue  on  tobacco  amounted 
^'>  ^^^J'.V.VIS-  The  aggregated  production  of  cigars  re(|uired 
over  3i.O(x>  ship|)iiig  cases,  and  inasmuch  as  a  large  pro|)or- 
tion  of  the  cigar  outi)ut  in  now  put  uj)  in  twentieth  packages,  it 
it  fair  to  estimate  that  there  were  re(|uired  6,204,270  cigar 
b<  )xes. 

An  average  of  twenty  pounds  of  tobacco  may  be  calculated 
to  every  thousand  cigars,  therefore,  there  was  a  consumption 
in  this  production  of  goods  of  6,204,275  pounds  of  leaf  to- 
bacco. In  that  district  there  were  also  manufactured  241,300 
cigarettes.

Manila    Product    Injures    Domestic    Cigar  Sales     No  Slot  Machines 
Yet — Trade  Visitors  Come  and  Go — Local  Trade  Jottings. 

.S.w  Francisco,  Feb.  19. 

W*""""  IIIIJ'".  a  furtlur  inipnivcinciit  is  noted  in  the  Pacific 
(oast  ci^ar  business  as  a  whole,  the  local  trade  is  not 
ahnj^^thcr  satisfactory,  and  tlicrc  are  some  discour- 
•'k'hiK  features  elsewiuTe.  San  J'Vancisco  retailers 
rcjxdt  btisiiicss  cfjniparativcly  (juiet,  and  while  the  jobbers  are 
inclined  to  appear  cheerful  it  is  obvious  that  their  sales  are 
not  as  lar^e  as  they  had  expected.  The  retailers  here  are  dis- 
a|>i)ointed  over  the  failure  to  secure  certain  concessions  which 
they  were  confnlent  would  be  ^(ranted,  such  as  that  of  operating 
slot  machines,  while  in  the  north,  where  local  jobbers  formerly 
had  a  large  following  among  the  saloons,  the  "dry"  movement 
has  greatly  curtailed  the  volume  of  business.  The  Manila  cigar 
business  is  also  responsible  for  a  material  falling  off  in  sales  of 
domestic  cigars,  though  tliis  was  not  noticed  very  much  until 
recently.  At  first  all  the  jobbers  had  hopes  of  a  profitable  im- 
porting business,  but  in  the  final  show-down  there  are  only  two 
or  three  independent  jobbers  or  brokers  who  are  able  to  get 
many  of  the  Manilas  direct,  the  others  having  to  depend  upon 
the  firms  who  first  secured  a  foothold  in  the  Islands. 

( )wing  to  a  disj)ute  over  the  proper  valuation  of  Manila 
goods,  a  large  lot  of  both  cigars  and  cigarettes  was  held  for 
some  time  in  the  local  custom  house,  but  the  matter  has  been 
adjusted,  the  (iovermnent  holding  that  the  valuation  on  which 
internal  revenue  tax  is  based  should  be  the  wholesale  price  in 
the  United  States,  The  goods  have  accordingly  been  released 
on  payment  of  the  additional  charges  by  the  local  consignees. 

.Some  of  the  Manila  importers  are  complaining  about  the 
exorbitant  prices  charged  for  the  g(H)ds  by  certain  jobbers  and 
retailers,  who  they  say  will  injure  the  market  if  they  persist 
in  the  attempt  to  make  abnormal  profits.  The  local  retailers  are 
now  practically  compelled  to  reduce  their  prices  to  meet  the 
competition  of  the  United  Cigar  Stores,  and  it  is  understood 
that  unless  the  jobbers  follow  suit  some  of  the  importers  will 
distribute  their  price  lists  am<tng  the  retail  trade. 

W.  11.  Wolf,  of  Castle  IJros.,  Wolf  ^:  Sons,  has  been  doing 
good  work  for  Manila  cigars  in  the  Fast.  He  has  disposed  of 
all  that  could  be  spared  f(»r  the  ICastern  trade  out  of  the  last 
shipment,  and  is  .still  in  the  Fast,  where  it  is  expected  he  will 
make  permanent  arrangements  for  the  disposal  of  all  that  can 
be  secured  beyond  the  re(|uirements  of  the  local  trade. 

Fdw.  Wolf,  of  the  ImIw.  \\  olf  Company,  is  also  staying  in 
the  East  longer  than  he  expected,  and  will  not  return  before 
the  end  of  the  month.  He  is  having  great  success  with  his 
Manila  lines,  for  which  he  expects  to  establish  a  regular  market 
before  returning.  He  sold  ofT  a  million  and  a  half  cigars  which 
were  sent  to  New  York  in  advance,  and  since  then  has  had 
several  additional   consignments    forwarded   out  of  the   stock 

held  here. 

K.  M.  Flam  is  also  in  New  York  in  the  interest  of  Manila 
goods.  He  has  established  a  firm  in  Manila  under  the  name  of 
F.  M.  Flam  &  Co.,  and  appears  to  be  devoting  most  of  his  at- 
tention to  this  line  at  present,  though  as  far  as  known  he  still 
acts  as  representative  (jf  I.  Lewis  cS:  Co.  in  the  Coast  territory. 

(jabe  .\I.  Cohn,  of  the  American-Manila  Cigar  Company, 
returned  recently  from  the  North,  where  he  disposed  of  a  large 
stock  of  Manila  goods. 

Arthur  liachman,  president  of  S.  Uachman  &  Co.,  has  just 
returned  from  an  extended  trip  in  the  Fast.  He  is  preparing 
a  new  campaign  on  the  "Pennant"  cigar,  the  company's  princi- 
l)al  5-cent  line,  and  will  .soon  have  a  new  size  of  this  brand  in 
stock. 

W.  W.  Mcintosh.  Coast  agent  for  the  R.  A.  Patterson  To- 
l)acco  Comi)any,  returned  early  this  month  from  a  visit  to 
Richmond,  Va.,  and  is  introducing  some  new  brands. 


Among  the  Eastern  cigar  men  who  have  called  on  the  local 
trade  within  the  last  few  days  are  P.  Meyer,  of  the  Cortez  Cigar 
Company's  factory,  and  A.  Santaellas,  manufacturer  of  the 
"Optimo,"  one  of  the  most  popular  lines  on  the  Coast. 

J.  C.  Wood,  representing  l>erriman  P>ros.,  has  gone  to 
Los  Angeles  after  a  stay  of  several  weeks  in  San  I'>ancisc(\ 

Horn  &  Co.  suffered  little  delay  on  account  of  their  fire 
of  two  weeks  ago.  They  reopened  a  few  days  later  in  a  tem- 
porary place  at  Drum  and  Sacramento  streets,  where  they  will 
remain  until  the  building  is  repaired.  There  is  api)arently  some 
difficulty  in  adjusting  the  insurance.  The  stock  was  fully  in- 
surecl,  but  the  insurance  men  will  allow  only  about  .Si^.cxxi 
damage,  while  the  company  claims  injury  greatly  in  excess  of 
that  amount. 

Leo  M.  Lehmann,  Coast  representative  of  the  I'd  Provedo 
factory,  is  now  with  the  trade  in  .Southern  California. 

I.  Danziger,  Coast  representative  of  Wertheimer  liros., 
is  calling  on  his  customers  in  the  North,  in  company  with  .Sam 
Wertheimer,  of  the  factory.  Mr.  Wertheimer  will  leave  for 
the  Fast,  however,  in  a  few  days,  leaving  Mr.  Danziger  to  com- 
plete the  trip  alone. 

D.  H.  Moulsdale,  representing  .Sanchez  &  Maya,  is  ex- 
pected shortly  on  a  visit  to  Tillman  &  Bendel,  the  local  jobbing 
agents. 

J.  A.  Pastene,  of  the  Manila  Cigar  Company,  left  last  week 
for  Manila,  where  he  expects  to  remain  for  some  time. 

E.  Judell,  of  II.  L.  Judell  &  Co.,  distributors  of  the 
Flisardo  Havana  cigar  and  the  La  Union  Manila  line,  is  making 
another  trip  through  Oregon. 

Lex  Ehrman,  of  the  large  local  house  of  Ehnnan  Hros. 
&  Co.,  has  returned  from  a  trip  East. 

A.  Strauss,  of  Celestino,  Vega  &  Co.,  is  visiting  11.

G.  W.  Whitaker,  manager  of  the  John  P.ollman  Company, 
is  taking  a  vacation  at  Honolulu. 

J.  C.  Leary,  an  old-time  retailer  of  this  city,  has  bought 
out  the  business  conducted  since  the  fire  at  Fillmore  and  Sutler 
streets  by  S.  E.  Holmes. 

Kasscr  Bros.,  who  conduct  a  number  of  cigar  stores  here, 
have  arranged  to  take  (|uarters  in  a  new  building  now  under 
construction  on  Market  street  between  Powell  and  Stockton, 
which  they  will  occupy  as  soon  as  possible. 

II.  Bohls,  of  H.  Bohls  &  Co.,  local  smoking  tobacco  and 
cigarette  manufacturers,  has  just  recovered  from  a  severe  ill- 
ness. 

I'rank  Bishop,  of  W.  M.  Gemmill  &  Co.,  Pennsylvania 
cigar  manufacturers,  has  been  in  San  Francisco  for  the  last

Not  All  Heaven  in  the  Blue  Grass. 

Quite  a  picturesque  sight,  for  a  stranger  at  least,  is  a  Ken- 
tucky'tobacco  bed  stretching  hundreds  of  feet  on  level  ground, 
with  clean  streets  for  getting  through  them.  Yet  there  is  often 
little  profit  either  to  tenant  or  landlord  in  a  Kentucky  tobacco 
bed.  An  average  yield  in  the  Blue  Grass  region,  .says  an  ex- 
change, is  about  1200  pounds  per  acre,  which,  sold  at  even  8 
cents  a  pound,  gives  little  profit  at  harvest  time.  The  tremend- 
ous tax  laid  by  the  Government,  the  tax  on  fertility  of  soil  and 
the  expense  attached  to  the  immense  barns,  some  of  these  being 
24x60x200  feet,  is  very  great.  A  Pittsburgh  critic  who  has  been 
down  there  says  the  morals  of  the  tenantry  is  decadent  and  that 
there  is  no  interest  in  live  .stock.  These  backsets,  coupled  with 
the  iron  rule  of  the  trust  and  the  bloody  hand  of  the  night  rider 
as  opposing  forces,  throws  a  melancholy  shadcnv  over  some  sec- 
tions of  the  Blue  Grass  tobacco  region.

I  lie  Ktharyic  condition  anioiiK^  oi^?ar  mamifacturers  in  several  of  the 
inorc  iinp..rtant  ciKar-pro(hicin.«:  .States  appears  to  be  reflected  more 
plainly  now  than  for  several  weeks  past  the  desultory  condition  of 
trade.  It  seems  that  the  manufacturers  are  not  buying  goods  in  any 
I..irticul.ir  <|iiaiitity  for  future  consummation,  but  only  in  such  quanti- 
ties as  they  may  feel  need  of  for  early  use.  Prices  have  receded  some- 
what in  several  of  the  growin"  States,  but  little  activity  is  reported  and 
apparently  the  huvmg  movement   is  at  present  at  a  standstill 

.Much  attention  is  now  being  given  to  the  rapidly  approaching 
sales  of  new  .Sumatra  tobaccos  and  quite  a  contingency  is  about  due 
to  arrive  at   Amsterdam. 

I  he  Havana  market  has  ben  quiet  and  such  purchases  as  have  been 
m.Kle  were  apparently  prompted  by  the  need  of  goods  for  immediate 
use.     Prices  are.  however,  firm. 

Pennsylvania. 

Philadklphi.\. 

Notwithstanding  the  general  dullness  in  the  cigar  industry  several 
ol(  local  leaf  houses  have  reported  transactions  of  more  than  ordinary 
volume,  but  the  instances  have  not  been  numerous.  It  is  intimated 
th.nt  some  slight  concessions  have  been  made  in  prices,  and  the  more 
active  sales  are  attributed  to  be  due.  in  a  measure,  to  this  fact. 

bi  the  Havana  market  conditions  are  regarded  as  nearly  normal 
an<l  some  activity  is  noted  in  the  demand  for  the  finest  types  of  leaf 
at  prices  that  are  being  well  maintained. 

Suinatra  has  been  moving  in  moderate  quantities  and  the  volume 
of  trading  in  this  type  of  leaf  has  been  about  as  large  as  could  be 
reasonably  expected  at  this  time  of  the  year,  for  attention  is  naturally 
largely  directed   to  the    forthcoming  nw  goods   in   Holland. 

.  Lancaster. 

Quite  .a  slump  has  occurred  in  the  prices  being  paid  for  the  new 
crops  in  this  vicinity,  although  it  was  reported  a  couple  of  weeks  ago 
that  a  considerable  portion  of  the  crops  has  been  taken.  There  are 
very  few  packers  here  who  will  admit  that  there  have  been  extensive 
purchases  and  the  concensus  of  opinion  is  that  much  tobacco  has  been 
actually  taken  and  that  was  the  general  belief  at  that  time.  The  indi- 
cati<»ns  that  farmers  are  now  inclined  to  accept  what  the  leaf  packers 
regard  a  more  agreeable  price  for  the  new  crops  may  result  in  renewed 
activity  among  buyers,  most  of  whom  had  withdrawn  from  the  field. 
When  it  was  ascertained  that  the  more  important  factors  in  the  buying 
movement  were  not  taking  the  crops  at  the  higher  figures,  the  farmers 
promptly  began  to  intimate  their  inclination  to  moderate  their  demand, 
and  it  may  prove  to  have  been  their  salvation.  It  is  pretty  generally 
admitted  by  them  that  it  would  not  have  been  the  most  profitable  thing 
for  them  to  pack  their  own  tobacco  if  they  did  not  succeed  in  getting 
the  prices  that  they  were  holding  out  for.  It  is  seldom  that  a  farm 
packing  will  command  quite  as  much  money  as  when  it  passes  through 
the  hands  of  a  regular  packing  house  for  the  simple  reason  that  goods 
are  usu.illy  somewhat  better  handled  by  the  packers  whose  facilities 
both  for  packing  and  marketing  are,  of  course,  superior  to  those  pos- 
sessed by  the  farmers. 

The  market  for  old  goods  has  remained  very  quiet,  and  only  small 
transactions  have  been  consummated,  but  the  market  is  pretty  well 
depleted  of  old  stock,  and  what  remains  in  the  packers'  hands  is  certainly 
not  causing  them  any  alarm. 

York. 

With  the  exception  of  a  few  tobacco  salesmen  who  report  satis- 
factory leaf  business,  local  leaf  dealers  are  not  so  elated  with  the 
present  prospects  among  cigar  manufacturers  of  a  large  and  immediate 
increase  in  business.  The  fact  that  a  number  of  factories  are  closing 
temporarily  and  others  stocking  up  goods,  is  certainly  not  conducive  to 
the  belief  that  trade  conditions  are  really  wholesome.  There  is  some 
little  buying  of  the  new  crops,  but  prices  have  been  somewhat  lower 
and  the  goods  are  being  taken  over  slowly. 

New  England. 

Hartford. 

Nearly  all  the  local  packing  houses  are  engaged  in  handling  the 
new  crops,  which  are  being  taken  at  the  various  warehouses  as  rapidly 
as  facilities  will  permit.  It  is  stated  that  rather  slow  progress  is  being 
made  at  some  of  the  warehouses  and  that  this  is  owing  to  the  fact  that 
tobaccos  which  are  being  delivered  are  not  up  to  their  standard,  and 
that  consequently  packers  arc  not  really  eager  to  accept  certain  crops. 
Tn  other  words,  the  intimation  is  that  some  buyers  arc  trying  to  evade 
their  contract,  and  the  idtimate  result  may  not  be  altogether  pleasing  to 
everyone. 


Haullv,  Mass. 
It  appears  that  a  numl.er  of  tobacco  farmers  in  this  vicinity  made 
contracts  early  last  fall  for  the  sale  of  their  tobacco  at  wh.'it  they 
bought  were  very  elegant  prices.  They  did  not  then  reali/e  that  .n 
iHxmi  was  on  lu-nce  their  astonishment  wa';  all  the  irreater  when 
recently  they  discovered  that  they  really  had  tlieir  t..bacco  on  hand  aiul 
were  o bl.g.-d  to  resell  it.  X<w  purchasers,  however,  have  now  been 
tound.  but  the  loss  to  the  farmers  represented  by  the  .litTerence  between 
what  they  had  expected  to  receive  and  what  thev  will  now  actually 
rceive  amounts  to  a  considerable  sum  of  money. 

North  Hatfifj-d.  Mass. 
It  is  stated  here  the  first  lot  of  tobacco  is  about  ready  to  be  taken 
from  the  sweat  room  and  that  enough  is  on  hand  to  refill  them  again 
as  soon  as  they  shall  have  been  emptied.  Tobacco  is  now  about  all  off 
the  poles,  and  in  this  section  it  is  reported  to  h.ive  been  pretty  well 
taken  up.  with  the  exception  of  a  few  lots  which  are  s.ud  to  be  held  at 
rather  fancy  figures.  Prices  offered  at  present  are  not  so  high  as  they 
were  when  the  buying  season  was  commenced ;  in  fact  as  low  as  9 
cents  a  nouml  is  being  offered,  and  accepted,  too.  by  some  farmers. 

Wkst  Hatfikld,  Mass. 

The  moderate  weather  we  have  lately  had  has  been  most  favorable 
to  the  work  of  packing  and  stripping  the  new  crops.  Prices  at  present 
are  a  little  below  those  of  earlier  sales,  and  at  nearly  all  the  warehouses 
there  are  busy  forces  at  work. 

Wisconsin. 

Edcfrton. 

Not  only  has  the  buying  movement  quiete<l  down  perceptibly,  but 
prices  now  being  offered  are  somewhat  below  the  general  average.  This 
means  that  there  have  been  some  rejections  of  early  purchases,  and  the 
movement  of  leaf  is  not  at  all  of  an  encouraging  nature.  The  market 
in  old  goods  also  shows  very  little  activity  and  the  volume  of  business 
that  is  being  done  is  marie  up  almost  wholly  of  small  transactions,  sev- 
eral hundred  cases  having  been  taken  recently  by  F.astern  handlers. 

The  new  crops  are  being  received  somewhat  regularly  and  (ielivery 
days  are  being  set  by  warehousemen  to  take  in  the  goods  ns  fast  as  they 
can  be  taken  care  of  at  the  warehouse,  where  the  work  is  progressing 
as  rapidly  as  can  be  with  the  help  available.  It  is  estimated  that  about 
half  of  the  purchases  have  thus   far  been  received. 

New  England  Gossip. 

The  firm  of  T.  R.  Haas  &  Sons,  of  Hartford,  have  been  recently 
purchasing  .several  desirable  crops  of  the  loor)  tobacco. 

F.  A.  &  W.  F.  Fuller  Tobacco  Company,  of  Hartfor*!.  arc  now 
in  the  heart  of  their  packing  business.  They  operate  other  warehouses 
and  have  made  some  extensive  purchases  of  broad  leaf  and  Havana  seed. 

The  Ketchin  &  Hayes  Tobacco  Company,  of  Tarrifsville,  are  now 
employing  a  force  of  85  hands  in  their  sorting  and  packing  rooms. 

Some  illegitimate  rumors  have  been  circulated  here  concerning  a 
New  York  house  which  had  dealings  in  this  section.  If  is  being  em- 
phatically denied,  and  effort  is  being  made  to  trace  its  authorship. 

Mr.  A.  Bijur,  of  F.  Roscnwald  &  Rros..  of  New  York,  was  a  recent 
visitor  at  the  firm's  Connecticut  warehouse. 

Mr.  Maurice  Hartman,  a  son  of  S.  Hartman.  has  been  admitted 
to  the  firm  of  A.  S.  Hartman.  at  Hart  field. 

The  Connecticut  Sumatra  Tobacco  Company  Company,  of  which 
Mr.  Hartman.  of  the  Ste.ine  Hartman  Company,  is  at  the  bear!,  last 
year  raised  14  acres  of  sha<le  grown  tobacco  at  the  farm  in  Ruckland. 
Arrangements  have  been  m.ide  to  raise  42  acres  of  shade-grown  tobacco 
this  year.  In  order  to  properly  house  such  an  extensive  crop  it  will 
be  necessary  for  the  firm  to  erect  new  warehouses. 

Agents  of  Keiser  &  Roasberg.  of  Buffalo.  N.  Y.,  have  been  traveling 
through  the  Connecticut  Valley  lately  selecting  crops  here  and  there. 


The  new  plant  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company  at  Wil- 
mington. Del.,  started  in  operation  Febniary  2nd,  with  375  op- 
eratives. Tt  was  found  that  the  force  of  instructors  was  inade- 
f|uate  and  Superintendent  Williams  (|uickly  ohtained  ten  addi- 
tional experts  to  direct  the  help.

was  sold  throuj^di  the  same  source  but  5,I3<S  jHUinds.  The  dif- 
ference in  the  ligures  is  due  partly  to  the  fact  that  the  demand 
for  leaf  tobacco  is  greater  durinj;  ( )ctober,  November  and  De- 
cember than  <lurinjj^  the  three  months  precedinjj.  However,  it

Commerce  is  advising  its  members  to  sign  the  demurrage  rules 
l)roposed  by  the  railroads,  but  before  doing  so,  to  incorporate 
certain  changes,  the  most  important  of  which  provides  that  the 
railroads  submit  to  the  shipper,  every  month,  the  debits  and  . 
credits  of  the  preceding  month,  so  a  settlement  can  be  made  onj 
the  net  debits  due  the  company.  | 


Bad  Tobacco  for  Good  in  Asia  Minor. 

What  is  known  as  the  Regie  contract  system  in  tobacco 
growing  has  resulted  in  greatly  inferi(jr  tobacco  in  Asia  Minor. 
According  to  accounts,  the  tobacco  formerly  grown  there  was 
of  fine  flavor  and  contained  a  good  quantity  of  saltpetre.  Xo 
irritation  of  the  throat  resulted  from  its  use,  and  its  culture 
was  deemed  important.  With  the  coming  of  the  monopoly 
j)lanters  were  informed  that  the  Regie  was  obliged  to  buy  all 
the  tobacco  grown,  the  result  being  a  great  increase  in  (piantity 
and  a  big  decrease  in  (|uality.  A  further  result  has  been  the 
substitution  of  a  tobacco  known  as  .\yassolouk  (ancient  I^phe- 
sus)  for  the  magnesia  tobacco,  which  was  famed  for  its  delicate 
smoking  qualities.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer—every one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 
tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  tum  on  the  current  ?

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 
tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ? 


Send  for  advertising  rates.

Sumatra  Market  in  Bad  Shape. 
Prices  are  High  and   There  is  a  Scarcity  of  Light  Tobacco. 
r  ^^  \  Al>Ll'^    reports    of     the     first     Sumatra    inscriptions 
I  C  J      of   1910,  which  was  held  in  Amsterdam  on   March 
idb^l      '  ^^*^'  ^^^'  ^^  any  tiling  but  an  encouraging  nature. 
lllfrlfP  Flocks  of  buyers  were  present  from  all  quarters, 

including  a  goodly  representation  from  the  United  States,  but 
the  goods  they  wanted  were  not  to  be  obtained.  Sumatra  like 
Cuba  has  suffered  heavily  from  drought,  and  the  result  is  a 
crop  which  is  to  all  intent>  practictally  bare  of  the  much-desired 
line  light  tobacco.  Such  tobacco  as  was  offered  naturally  was 
priced  at  high  figures.  The  result  of  the  conditions  led  buyers 
inevitably  to  sweep  clean  the  market  of  all  goods  on  hand,  and 
the  Americans  were  among  the  tirst  to  size  up  the  situation  anil 
cover  themselves.  The  Sumatra  crop  assortment  for  1910 
shows  heavy  natured  tobacco,  very  dark  in  color,  and  manu- 
facturers know  only  too  well  what  this  means  in  added  cost  of 
manufacture. 

One  of  the  best  posted  Sumatra  leaf  men  in  New  York 
stated  that  the  conditions  of  the  market  were  both  serious  and 
alarming,  and  that  unless  later  inscriptions  showed  better 
tobacco,  the  users  of  Sumatra  leaf  not  only  in  the  United  States 
but  the  world  over  would  have  a  most  difficult  problem  con- 
fronting them. 

The  next  inscription  in  Amsterdam  is  fixed   for  Friday, 

March  i8th. 

New  York  Sumatra  Market. 

The  past  week  in  New  York  has  recorded  the  heaviest 
demand  for  Sumatra  tobacco,  which  has  been  experienced  in 
some  months,  and  a  number  of  excellent  sales  are  reported. 
Cigar  manufacturers  have  evidently  discounted  the  conditions 
abroad,  and  are  looking  ahead  as  far  as  possible  to  cover  them- 
selves in  case  of  a  shortage. 

At  the  first  inscription  in  Amsterdam  these  New  York 
firms  report  having  purchased  the  following  quantities:  E. 
Rosenwald  &  Bro.,  510  bales;  G.  Falk  &  Bro.,  270  bales;  S. 
Kossin  &  Sons,  157  bales,  and  L.  P.  Sutter  &  Bro.,  65  bales. 


Big  Cigarrette  Coupon  Fraud    Unearthed. 
Two  Boys  Charged  with  Printing  Spurious  Certificates. 

Danville,  Va.,  March  12. 
STUPENDOUS  fraud  growing  out  of  the  use  of 
cigarette  coupons,  has  been  unearthed  here  by  the  ar- 
rest of  John  Thornton,  Jr.,  and  Lane  Noell,  neither  of 
whom  is  scarcely  21  years  of  age.  They  conducted  a 
small  job  printing  office  at  South  Boston,  Va.,  where,  it  is 
alleged,  they  turned  out  thousands  of  spurious  coupons  imi- 
tating the  kind  given  away  with  Piedmont  cigarettes. 

The  Piedmont  coupons  were  redeemable  at  the  premium 
department  of  The  American  Tobacco  Company  in  prizes  and 
had  a  cash  value  of  one-half  cent  each.  The  coupons  made 
were  from  plates  and  identically  on  the  same  paper  as  that  used 
by  the  American  Tobacco  Company. 

When  the  printing  office  was  raided  thousands  of  pounds 
of  this  paper  were  found— enough  to  make  about  $25,000  worth 

of  coupons.  .  f.    ,  1      r»   1      4 

Information  leading  to  the  arrest  was  furnished  by  Robert 
IT.  Bryan,  a  printer,  and  officers  of  the  American  Tobacco 
Company  in  New  York  co-operated  with  the  authorities  in 
bringing  about  the  arrest.  When  arraigned,  young  Thornton 
pleaded  guilty  and  was  committed  to  the  county  jail  to  await 
action  by  the  Grand  Jury. 


Agitate  National  Coupon  Association, 
Independent  Manufacturers  Would  Distribute  Premiums  on 

Co-opeotive  Basis. 
MUX  FMFM  Is  being  agitated  by  some  of  the  inde- 
peiulenl  cigar  manuiacturers  of  the  East  looking 
towards  the  formation  of  a  xNational  Coupon  Asso- 
ciation. Altliuugh  there  is  a  bill  before  Congress  at 
present  forbidding  the  use  of  premium  coupons  in  connection 
with  cigars  or  tobacco,  the  promoters  of  the  new  coupon  or- 
ganization assert  that  they  can  get  around  this  measure  because 
tlie  provisions  are  only  against  tlie  enclosing  of  coupons  or  pre- 
iiiiunis  in  the  package  or  about  the  package,  it  does  not  pre- 
vent the  dealers  giving  coupons  away  separately  with  each  pur- 
chase. 

In  an  interview  with  a  Tobacco  Woklu  reporter,  one  of 
the  manufacturers  who  is  strongly  in  favor  of  the  new  associa- 
tion, outlined  his  ideas  as  follows: 

*Tt  is  proposed  to  form  an  association  of  the  large  inde- 
pendent cigar  and  tobacco  manufacturers  and  dealers.  These 
will  form  a  co-operative  company  which  will  conduct  the  cou- 
pon business  on  a  cost  basis  and  not  for  proht.  Distributing 
depots  in  all  the  cities  from  Maine  to  California  having  a  pop- 
ulation of  10,000  or  more  will  be  established,  preferably  in  the 
part  of  a  prominent  retail  cigar  store. 

Any  independent  dealer  can  purchase  coupons  to  be  re- 
deemed in  premiums,  and  they  would  not  cost  him  more  than 
3>2  per  cent,  to  4  per  cent.  These  coupons  would  have  the 
endorsement  of  the  National  Association  and  would  be  issued 
to  all  dealers  handling  independent  tobacco,  cigars,  or  cigar- 
ettes. It  is  proposed  to  carry  a  small  stock  of  premiums  in 
each  distributing  depot  and  this  stock  is  to  be  renewed  as  often 

as  necessary. 

Buying  the  premiums  in  large  (luantities,  the  association 
will  be  able  to  (obtain  them  at  prices  far  below  the  usual  whole- 
sale rate  and  first-class  gifts  can  be  given  at  a  iKMiiinal  cost. 

While  the  idea  is  still  in  embryo,  the  promoters  are  sound- 
ing the  various  manufacturers  to  obtain  their  views  on  the 
matter  and  if  they  obtain  sufficient  encouragement,  the  associa- 
tion will  be  launched  at  once."

FALLACIES  IN  REGARD  TO  STRENGTH  OF  LITTLE  SMOKERS  EXPLODED  BY 

SCIENTIFIC  EXPERIMENTS. 

BY  FRANK  CAMERON  KINSEY.  A.  M..  M.  D. 


The  folhzinncj  summary  of  a  report  compiled  by  Frank  Cameron  Kinsey,  ./.  M.,  M.  I).,  of  Grand  Rapids,  Michiqan    as'  the 
result  oj  Ins  experiments  on  cujars  and  cigarettes,  presents  facts  zvhich  should  be  of  interest  to  every  dealer  and  consumei  of  tobacco. 
Hnefly  stated,  the  results  of  Dr.  Kinsey's  experiments  established: 
In  St— One  ordinary  Havana  cigar  contains  as  much  crude  nicotine  as  nine  cigarettes. 

Second—The  smoker  gets  70%  of  the  total  nicotine  from  the  smoke  of  the  cigar  as  compared  with   SS3^%    total  nicotine 
contained  in  the  cigarette.  dd/'^/^  nnumn 

Third—No  arsenic  or  other  dope  is  used  in  the  numufacture  of  cigarette  papers. 

J'ourth—No  opium  alkaloids  or  other  dope  could  be  found  in  the  cigarette  tobacco  inspected. 

J'lfth— There  is  less  nicotine  absorbed  from  a  long  thin-shaped  cigar  than  a  short  thick  shape. 

Hy  the  courtesy  of  the  author,  we  are  pleased  to  present  herezath  the  leading  points  resulting  from  his  experiments. 


A 


i^^sa 


LLOW  nie  tu  preface  this  paper  by  explaining  that  I 
never  was  fortunate — or  unfortunate  enough  to  ac- 
<|uire  the  art  of  smoking  in  any  of  its  forms  and, 
therefore,  that  J  went  into  the  expirements  which 
follow  without  any  bias,  prejudice  or  preconceived  notions 
whatever  on  the  subject.  Having  cleared  my  moral  atmos- 
phere in  this  manner,  you  might  ask  what  occasion  there  is, 
after  all,  for  inve.>.tigating  this.  Precisely  this:  Talk  to  any 
intelligent,  well-educated  man — sometimes  even  a  physician — 
about  the  contents  and  effects  of  cigarettes,  and  you  will  soon 
discover  how  little  you  actually  know  about  them  and  what  an 
astonishing  fund  of  information  he  possesses.  He  will  tell 
you  that  he  has  always  understood,  and  believes  it  to  be  a  fact, 
that  cigarettes  are  drugged  and  that  the  paper  contains  arsenic. 
(1  may  remark,  parenthetically,  that  the  recent  anti-cigarette 
legislation  in  many  of  our  States  is  based  on  just  such  argu- 
ments.) 

This  man  you  are  conversing  with  may  tell  you  of  hor- 
rible deaths  in  boys  anil  young  men  due  to  smoking  cigarettes, 
and  will  present  a  fairly  convincing  picture  of  the  evils  trail- 
ing along  after  the  cigarette  habit,  "especially  from  inhaling 
the  stuff,"  he  adds,  taking  a  deep  puff  from  his  fat  cigar  and 
blowing  it  out  through  his  nostrils.  It  was  after  just  such  a  con- 
versation with  just  such  a  man,  an  intelligent,  well-educated 
high  school  teacher,  whose  arguments  1  could  not  answer  from 
my  own  knowledge,  that  I  resolved  to  make  some  personal  ex- 
periments along  this  most  unj)opular  line. 

In  this  research,  my  objects  have  been  four:  First,  to 
find  the  total  amount  of  crude  nicotine  contained  in  the  to- 
bacco of  the  ordinary  domestic  and  Havana  cigar  and  com- 
pare it  with  the  total  nicotine  content  of  the  tobacco  of  cheap 
cigarettes;  second,  to  tind  the  amount  of  crude  nicotine  present 
in  the  smoke  of  cigars  and  cigarettes  and  compare  it  with  the 
total  amount  present  in  the  same  tobacco;  third,  to  determine 
the  (|uantity  of  opium  alkaloids,  or  "dope"  as  it  is  called,  con- 
tained in  cheap  cigarettes,  if  any  is  present,  and  fourth,  to  ex- 
amine the  various  cigarette  papers  for  arsenic  and  to  deter- 
mine the  amount  present,  if  any. 

In  our  first  test  we  used  153  grains  (9.935  G.)  of  to- 
bacco as  a  standard,  this  corresponding  to  the  weight  of  nine 
"Turkish  Trophy"  cigarettes  or  eight  and  one-half  "Sweet 
(  api^ral"  cigarettes. 

Experiment  No.  i.  This  was  on  a  five-cent  domestic 
cigar  whose  composition,  kindly  furnished  by  the  manufacture, 
was  as  follows:  Wrapper  and  binder,  J4  Connecticut, 
Havana  seed;  fdler,  ^4  Pennsylvania  and  ^  semi-Spanish, 
from  .Spanish  seeds  grown  in  Montgomery  County,  Ohio. 
The  weight  of  one  of  these  cigars  was  107^  grains,  conse- 
(juently  we  used  about  i  3-7  cigars  in  making  up  our  weight 


oi  153  grains.  The  tobacco  was  extracted  with  hot  water,  giv- 
ing us  nine  drops  or  .6  G.,  corresponding  to  5.8%  of  a  sub- 
stance which  had  the  odor  of  stale  tobacco  and  responded  to 
all  the  tests  for  nicotine.  This  crude  nicotine  might  have  been 
purified  by  re-distillation,  but,  for  our  purposes  of  comparison, 
it  was  sufficiently  pure.  Nevertheless  we  tested  this  product 
for  toxicity  on  animals,  and  found  that  four  drops  placed  on 
the  tongue  of  a  six-pound  tomcat  killed  the  animal  in  90 
seconds. 

From  this  experiment,  we  roughly  estimated  that  the 
nicotine  obtained  was  about  50%  pure. 

Experiment  No.  2.  One  hundred  and  fifty-three  grains 
of  tobacco  from  "Sweet  Caporal"  cigarettes,  weighing  18 
grains  apiece,  was  extracted  in  the  same  manner  as  in  Experi- 
ment No.  I.  This  cigarette  is  stated  by  the  manufacturers  to 
be  made  from  Virginia  and  Turkish  tobacco,  which  is  a  mix- 
ture with  a  high  nicotine  content.  Our  tests  showed  17  drops 
of  crude  nicotine  were  contained  in  the  83^2  cigarettes  making 
up  this  weight,  or  two  drops  to  each  cigarette,  giving  about 
11%  oi  crude  nicotine. 

Experiment  No.  3.  Two  small  five-cent  cigars  of  "pure 
Havana"  were  next  tested,  weighing  54^^  grains  apiece  or  109 
grains  together.  These  were  found  to  contain  18  drops  of 
crude  nicotine  or  9  drops  to  each  cigar.  This  experiment  was 
repeated  with  the  same  result.  From  the  high  nicotine  con- 
tent and  the  low  selling  price,  one  might  be  led  to  believe  that 
these  "Havana"  cigars  originally  came  from  Virginia. 

Experiment  No.  4.  The  same  weight  (109  gr.)  of  the 
tobacco  from  "Turkish  Trophy"  cigarettes  was  then  ex- 
tracted and  yielded  only  nine  drops  of  crude  nicotine.  As  one 
"Turkish  Trophy"  cigarette  weighs  17  grains,  each  cigarette 
contained  only  one  drop  of  nicotine.  Consequently,  one  of 
the  little  "Flavana"  cigars  tested  in  our  third  experiment 
yielded  as  much  crude  nicotine  as  nine  of  the  "Turkish 
Trophy"  cigarettes. 

Testing  the  Nicotine  in  Smoke. 

In  almost  all  work  on  tobacco  smoke,  where  the  method 
of  extraction  has  been  described,  the  tobacco  in  weighed  quan- 
tity is  burned,  the  total  smoke  collected  and  the  nicotine  ex- 
tracted. It  is  very  evident  that  this  method  does  not  give  the 
amount  of  nicotine  actually  taken  into  the  mouth.  When  a 
man  smokes  a  cigar  or  cigarette,  much  of  the  nicotine  is  volatil- 
ized and  passes  off  in  smoke  at  the  point  of  combustion.  Ob- 
viously then,  in  order  to  determine  how  much  nicotine  a  man 
actually  gets  as  he  smokes,  the  smoke  must  be  collected  from 
what  the  young  experimenter  on  wasps  called  "the  business 
end"  of  the  cigar  or  cigarette. 

For  this  purpose  we    devised    a    simple    apparatus    con- 


THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


II 


structed  like  a  w-ater  pipe,  with  a  wide-mouthed  bottle  holding 
a  rubber  cork  through  which  passed  two  glass  tubes,  one  nm- 
ning  to  the  bottom  of  the  bottle  and  the  other  only  through 
the  cork.  The  long  tube  was  bent  at  right  angles  outside  and 
llattcned,  serving  as  a  mouthpiece.  In  using  this  apparatus, 
the  bottle  was  two-thirds  filled  with  hot  water,  the  cigar  or 
cigarette  was  placed  in  the  holder,  lighted  and  smoked  from  the 
stem,  the  smoke  passing  up  through  the  water  and  losing  most 
of  its  nicotine  there  and  on  the  glass  tubes. 

Some  nicotine  still  came  over  in  the  smoke,  so  the  saliva 
was  collected,  together  with  the  washings  from  the  tubes,  and 
distilled  along  with  the  water  from  the  bottle,  which  was 
changed  as  often  as  it  became  saturated  with  nicotine. 

r^xperiment  No.  5.  One  small  "Havana"  cigar,  weighing 
543/2  grains,  was  smoked  in  the  apparatus,  and  the  hot  water 
and  saliva  distilled  and  extracted  as  before.  The  result  was 
7  drops  of  crude  nicotine  as  compared  with  the  total  of  9  drops 
contained  in  the  cigar.  Therefore,  a  man  gets  77%  of  the  total 
nicotine  content  from  the  smoke  of  this  cigar.  The  ash,  to- 
gether with  the  unsmoked  stub,  weighed  i5>^  grains.  As  the 
original  weight  of  the  cigar  was  54^^  grains,  the  combustion 
products  must  have  weighed  39  grains. 

Experiment  No.  6.  When  54>4  grains  of  "Turkish 
Trophy"  tobacco,  represented  by  3^  cigarettes,  were  smoked 
in  the  apparatus,  only  2V2  drops  of  nicotine  could  be  re- 
covered. Thus  only  55K'%  of  the  total  nicotine  present  in  the 
cigarette  came  over  in  the  smoke,  although  'jy%  of  that  pres- 
ent in  the  cigar  was  recovered.  This  confirms  the  recent  ob- 
servations of  W.  R.  Lee  in  the  Pharmacological  Laboratory  of 
Cambridge  University.  He  burned  equal  amounts  of  a  Vir- 
ginia cigarette  and  a  INIanilla  cigar  and  found  that,  although 
the  Virginia  tobacco  in  the  cigarette  contained  nearly  twice  as 
much  nicotine  as  the  tobacco  in  the  cigar,  yet  the  smoke  of  the 
cigar  was  twice  as  toxic  as  that  of  the  cigarette.  He  explains 
this  as  follows:  During  the  combustion  of  ordinary  smoking, 
there  is  an  area  immediately  behind  the  point  of  combustion 
in  which  the  water  and  other  volatile  contents  of  the  tobacco 
condense.     The  hot  gases  passing  through  this  area  volatilize 

the  nicotine. 

The  Effect  of  Different  Shaped  Cigars. 

The  smaller  the  area  of  combustion,  the  more  complete  it 
is  and  the  less  likely  is  the  smoke  to  contain  volatile  toxic  sub- 
stances. "Hence,"  he  says,  "a  cigarette  or  a  slender  cigar  will 
yield  fewer  of  these  products  than  a  thick  cigar,  and  many 
smokers  can  testify  that  a  thick  'fat'  cigar  has  much  more  ef- 
fect than  a  long,  slender  cigar  of  similar  tobacco."  Whatever 
the  explanation,  it  is  certainly  true  that  less  nicotine  comes 
over  in  the  smoke  of  cigarettes  than  in  that  of  an  equal  weight 
of  cigars  containing  the  same  amount  of  nicotine. 

Experiment  No.  7.  This  was  for  the  purpose  of  deter- 
mining the  presence,  or  absence,  of  opium  derivatives,  or 
"dope"  in  the  tobacco  of  cigarettes.  "Sweet  Caporal"  and 
"Turkish  Trophy"  cigarettes  were  extracted  with  hot  water 
and  tested  with  the  ordinary  sulphuric  acid  plus  cane  sugar 
and  with  the  nitric  acid  tests.  No  traces  of  opium  derivatives 
could  be  found,  nor,  to  tell  the  truth,  did  I  expect  to  find  any, 
although  there  is  an  unshaken  and  unshakable  belief,  even 
among  medical  men,  that  a  philanthropic  and  benignant  Santa 
Glaus  called  the  Tobacco  Trust  is  buying  expensive  opiates  to 
mix  with  cheap  cigarettes. 

No  Arsenic  in  Cigarette  Papers. 

Experiment  No.  8.  This  was  to  determine  the  presence, 
or  absence,  of  arsenic  in  cigarette  papers.  After  the  number 
of  chemists  who  have  investigated  this  subject,  I  am  almost 
ashamed  to  report  any  further  work  along  this  line,  but  the 
frequency  with  which  one  still  hears  arsenic  mentioned  as  one 
of  the  deadly  components  of  cigarette  paper  shows  that  one 
can  scarcely  give  too  much  publicity  to  the  truth  regarding  this 
matter.  The  La  Croix  Fils  rice  paper,  which  comes  in  red 
books,  was  macerated  in  hot  water  and  the  solution  tsetcd  for

standard  tests  for  arsenic. 

No  trace  of  arsenic  could  be  found.  The  cheaper  papers 
were  then  tested,  including  that  given  away  with  "Bull  Dur- 
ham" and  with  "Duke's  Mixture."  No  trace  of  arsenic. 
Next  the  papers  were  split  off  from  "Turkish  Trophy"  and 
"Sweet  Caporal"  cigarettes  and  tested.  No  arsenic  was  pres- 
ent, even  in  traces. 

And  here  arc  the  results  of  our  work:  No  arsenic  in 
cigarette  papers,  no  opiates  in  cigarettes  and  the  smoke  less 
toxic  than  that  from  cigars  containing  the  same  amount  of 
nicotine.

How  THE  "Qu.xlity"  Stamp  Reads  Now, 

Washington,  D.  C,  March  14, 
|'\FR'\L  CLARENCE  R,  EDWARDS,  Chief  of  the 
Insular  Bureau  of  the  War  Department,  announced 
to-day  the  modifications  of  the  "Quality  Stamp' 
which  he  has  suggested  to  the  Philippine  Government. 
The  changes  to  he  effected  are  in  compliance  with  the  protest 
of  the  Cigar  Manufacturers'  Association  of  America  and  un- 
afl^hated  manufacturers,  who  objected  to  the  use  of  the  expor 
stamp  certifying  the  Government's  approval  of  the  ciuahty  of 

Tvhether  the  modifications  will  overcome  the  abuses  to 
which  the  export  stamp  has  been  subjected  is  problematical  at

ment, will  make  the  following  changes:  ....     .^,

Anti-Tobacco  Bill  Badly  Amended. 
Loop-Hole  Measure  Finally  Passed  by  Ohio  Legislature, 

Columbus,  O.,  March  10. 

HE  Ditmars  Anti-Tobacco  Bill,  amended  so  that  its 
father  would  not  recognize  it,  was  passed  by  the  State 
Legislature. 

The  bill,  as  originally  introduced,  sought  to  pro- 
hibit the  sale  and  manufacture  of  cigarettes  in  Ohio,  but  wheti 
it  came  up  for  final  passage  this  feature  was  stricken  out  and 
the  tobacco  interests  gained  a  signal  victory. 

Examination  of  the  substitute  bill  as  finally  passed  reveals 
that  it  imposes  no  prohibition  on  the  sale  of  tobacco  to  minors 
between  the  ages  of  16  and  21,  although  it  provides  a  penalty 
for  the  sale  of  tobacco  to  those  under  16  years  of  age  The 
hill  is  very  loosely  drawn  and  it  is  believed  that  it  will  not  stand

Minors  found  smoking  in  public  are  to  have  immunity  if 
they  reveal  to  the  court  the  identity  of  the  dealer  who  supplied 
them  with  tobacco.  .  , 

Before  the  measure  went  to  a  vote  there  were  spirited 
speeches  made  against  it.     Representative  Gilhgan  of  Cincin- 
nati challenged  the  statement  of  a   ^-.^^-^-"^^"^.^^^^j^^f^ 
man  who  amounts  to  anything  smokes  cigarettes.       \\  hy     sau 
Gilligan.   *T    attended   a   banquet   where   our   own    Bill    latt 
smoked  a  cigarette." 

"If  T  was  in  Gilligan's  business  T  would  fight  the  cigarettes 
bill,  too,"  retorted  a  fellow-representative. 

Gilligan  is  an  undertaker.

"Tuxedo"  Injunction  is  Refused. 

SvRACUsr-,  N.  Y.,  March  10.  loio. 

Application  of  the  R.  A.  Patterson  Tobacco  Company  for 
a  preliminarv  injunction  to  restrain  Bendixen  r<.bacco  Com- 
pany, of  this' city,  has  been  denied  by  Judge  Ray  of  the  United 
States  Circuit  Court, 

The  plaintiffs  sought  to  prevent  the  Bendixen  Company 
from  using  a  brand  trade-mark  similar  to  the  "Tuxedo"  brand 

of  the  Patterson  Co. 

The  Court  gave  its  opinion  that  the  injunction  was  un- 
necessary, as  the  merits  of  the  case  would  be  determined  when 
the  case  came  to  trial.  The  Patterson  concern  since  tS88  has 
been  using  the  "Tuxedo"  bran<l,  and  since  1905.  the  Bendixen 
Co  have  been  using  a  bran<l  consisting  of  the  letters  "Tux" 
one  line,  "E"  on  the  second,  and  "do"  on  the  third,  and  on 
another  brand  they  are  using  the  letters  "Tucks"  on  one  hue 

and  beneath  it  "edo". 

With  the  injunction  now  refused,  the  outcome  of  the 
case  will  depend  upon  the  hearing  of  the  suit  now  before 
the  courts.

The  Importance  of    Personal  Supervision. 

I  is  easy  to  lay  flown  a  lot  of  rules  or  maxims,  which, 
if  followed,  woiiM  ill  all  likclihoofl  lead  to  success. 
^"^■g^  Vet  the  exi)cricnccd  retail  cij^ar  dealer  knows  that 
llicre  is  somcthiiij^  more  than  rules,  even  though  they 
he  strictly  followed,  that  is  necessary. 

Volumes  have  heen  written  on  the  suhject  of  successful 
retailin^^  and  more  will  und(»ul)tedly  follow  as  time  goes  on,  for 
the  subject  is  one  to  which  all  have  given  much  thought. 

Not  everyone  cati  be  successful  in  public  business,  no  mat- 
ter how  capable  or  honest,  and  the  man  who  engages  in  the 
tobacco  business  in  the  hope  of  having  a  soft  snap  will  soon 
fmd  he  has  mistaken  his  calling. 

Moorl  advice  to  such  a  one  would  be  to  let  the  business 
aloiif,  as  there  is  not  an  hour  in  the  day — and  the  days  are 
long — often  running  late  uiio  the  night,  but  what  he  can  fmd 
work  that  needs  doing.  And,  so  far  as  the  writer's  observa- 
tions go,  he  has  found  it  trtie  that  the  man  who  does  not  run 
his  own  business,  but  leaves  it  solely  in  the  hands  of  his  clerks, 
will  either  lose  UKmey  or  he  will  soon  have  none  to  run. 

The  question  of  what  kind  of  help  he  should  have  will  give 
the  merchant  a  gre.'it  deal  to  think  about  in  itself.  We  would 
regard  the  clerk  in  a  store  as  second  in  importance  to  the  pro- 
prietor. We  would  tK)t  advocate  cheap  help,  by  any  means,  for 
lie  should  have  as  experienced  and  capable  help  as  the  business 
will  justify.  There  should  always  be  close  and  cordial  co-op- 
eration between  employer  and  employee.  In  other  words,  the 
proprietor  should  be  al)le  to  inspire  and  instruct  without  fric- 
tion. On  the  other  hand,  the  clerks  should  not  only  be  self- 
respecting,  btit  should  be  courteous  and  respectful  to  the  trade 
of  the  store. 

Let  Quality  be  the  Guarantee. 

It  is  better  to  miss  a  sale  than  have  a  customer  tell  his 
friends  that  anything  was  misreprsecnted  at  your  store.  Per- 
haps it  would  be  better  not  to  guarantee  anything,  but  let  the 
(|uality  of  the  goods  offered  be  the  guarantee. 

It  is  a  true  saying  that  a  satisfied  customer  is  a  store's  best 
a<lvertisement.  When  the  confidence  of  the  customer  has  been 
gained — and  it  cannot  be  gotten  exce|>t  through  fair  treatment 
— then  it  will  not  be  found  so  very  difficult  to  make  sales  to 
the  majority,  yet  there  is  a  class  that  may  rcc|uire  special  treat- 
ment. 

Study  Human  Nature. 

There  are  always  some  customers  in  the  cigar  as  well  as 
other  stores  who  are  apparently  different  and  hold  themselves 
aloof,  and  view  with  suspicion  both  the  attendant  and  the  goods 
which  they  desire  to  purchase. 

Again,  persons  of  extreme  temperaments  are  found — some 
nervous,  some  fastidious,  some  critical  and  some  cranky.  Oth- 
ers are  kind  and  more  genial  and  who  really  make  it  a  pleasure 
to  be  wailed  upon. 

This  is  an  instance  in  which  the  same  rule  and  manner  will 
not  apply  to  all  alike,  for  we  cannot  approach  all  in  the  same 
manner,  but  each  one  must  be  met  and  handled  in  the  way  cal- 
culated best  to  imi>ress  them.  In  order  to  be  successful  as  a 
salesman  one  must  be  able,  therefore,  to  read  human  nature, 
and  then  be  able  to  adapt  ourselves  to  the  different  moods  and 
temperaments  of  the  customers  we  have  occasion  to  handle. 

The  Judicious  Advertiser. 

.Advertising  is  to  be  advocated  at  all  times,  but  every  mer- 
chant must  use  his  best  judgment  as  to  when  and  how  he  should 


do  it  and  the  amount  of  money  he  should  expend  for  that  pur- 
pose. 

Of  course,  the  community  should  know  what  the  dealer 
has  for  sale  an<l  his  advertisements  should  be  plain  and  to  the 
point. 

Any  merchant  who  keeps  all  his  goods  on  shelves  or  be- 
hind his  counters  and  compels  his  customers  to  pick  out  just 
what  they  want,  will  not  succeed.  The  store  should  be  made 
attractive  by  having  modern  fixtures  and  his  goods  tastefully 
arranged. 

Competition. 

Competition  is  to  most  retail  dealers  a  perplexing  problem. 
It  is  always  well  to  be  on  good  terms  with  your  competitor  and 
work  together,  or,  rather,  apart,  but  in  harmony.  Consulting 
together  on  affairs  that  are  of  mutual  intereit  will  go  a  long 
way  towards  cementing  ties  of  closer  fellowship.  Of  course, 
there  are  some  in  the  business  who  simply  will  not  be  friendly 
and  whose  sole  idea  seems  to  be  the  taking  of  advantage  when- 
ever opportunity  offers,  and  who  are  ever  on  the  lookout  to  get 
trade  from  others  by  inducements — cutting  the  prices  on  first 
one  article  and  another  trying  to  make  it  appear  they  are  sell- 
ing cheaply.  Oftentimes  such  a  competitor  can  be  treated 
with  by  making  a  personal  call  on  him  and  haying  a  heart-to- 
heart  talk.  Often  he  can  be  convinced  that  such  tactics  are  not 
only  disastrous  to  you,  but  if  persisted  in  it  may  also  eventually 
ruin  him,  for  without  profit  no  retailer  can  long  exist. 

The  Loss  Incident  to  Frequent  Removals. 

The  writer  has  often  observed  that  so  many  retail  dealers 
are  constantly  moving,  seemingly  never  able  to  find  a  location 
that  suits  them.  There  is  an  old  axiom  that  three  moves  are  as 
bad  as  a  fire.  Of  course,  we  do  not  suppose  the  moving  element 
will  agree  with  us  in  this  respect,  but  the  old  story  that  the  roll- 
ing stone  gathers  no  moss  is  quite  applicable  to  the  retail  cigar 
trade. 

The  successful  retailer  knows  fully  well  that  it  has  taken 
him  many  years  in  building  up  his  patronage,  and  by  a  removal 
of  his  premises  to  another  location,  especially  if  it  be  at  some 
distant  point,  will  probably  lose  for  him  a  considerable  portion 
of  his  patronage.  He  will  then  have  lost  not  only  the  value  of 
the  patronage  he  previously  had.  but  the  time  and  energy  de- 
voted to  building  up  the  trade  will  also  go  for  naught. 

Heart  to  Heart  Talk  with  Clerks. 

We  believe  it  would  be  giving  good  advice  to  the  young 
man  in  the  retail  cigar  business  that  it  would  be  a  good  rule  not 
to  make  changes  of  employers  too  frequently.  Of  course,  the 
younger  men  may  not  think  it  applies  to  them  because  they  do 
all  their  moving  in  a  very  compact  form,  but  the  application  of 
this  advice  to  the  young  man  is  in  a  different  direction,  and  we 
believe  there  is  nothing  more  demoralizing  to  the  young  man 
than  to  be  constantly  changing  from  one  store  to  another. 

It  would  be  infinitely  better  for  the  young  man  as  soon  as 
he  decides  on  making  some  kind  of  a  business  his  life  work, 
that  he  should  settle  down  to  learn  all  he  can  about  the  particu- 
lar business  of  the  establishment  which  he  may  enter.  It  is  an 
erroneous  idea  that  a  more  valuable  experience  can  be  had  if 
the  employment  be  more  varied,  but  the  result  usually  is  that 
it  affords  less  opportunity  to  absorb  all  the  good  ideas  of  one 
good  manager.  Ry  constantly  changing  he  gets  a  mere  smat- 
tering of  the  ideas  of  several,  even  if  all  of  them  were  thor- 
oughly competent.  Again,  as  soon  as  it  is  learned  that  an  appli.

cant  for  a  position  makes  many  changes,  managers  of  stores 
who  might  give  him  consideration  at  once  become  suspicious 
of  his  stability  and  may  not  even  be  willing  to  give  an  oppor- 
tunity of  proving  his  stickativeenss,  although  he  may  have 
fully  determined  upon  this  course  in  the  future.  Ewtn  if  given 
employment  by  them,  after  this  feeling  has  been  made,  he  will 
find  that  severe  tests  are  applied  to  him,  because  the  proprietor 
will  naturally  want  to  know  what  the  trouble  has  been  before. 

Loyalty  as  a  Virtue. 

It  has  been  truly  said  that  loyalty  is  worth  many  pounds 
of  cleverness,  and  consequently  one  must  not  be  content  to  do 
his  work  in  just  the  way  it  has  been  done  heretofore,  but  we 
should  by  all  means  endeavor  to  find  some  way  of  doing  it  just 
a  little  better,  and  in  a  httle  less  time,  if  possible.  No  oppor- 
tunity should  be  allowed  to  pass  which  might  enable  us  to  be- 
come still  more  thoroughly  familiar  with  all  details  of  the  busi- 
ness. In  short,  one  cannot  know  too  much  regarding  the  busi- 
ness, provided  that  knowledge  is  not  abused,  it  is  certainly 
not  a  good  policy  to  make  confidants  in  business,  except  the 
employer  or  someone  appointed  by  him  to  hear  what  one  has 
to  say. 

In  order  that  the  clerk  may  make  himself  indispensable  to 
his  employer,  he  must  make  a  good  impression  from  the  first 
day  he  enters  the  place  of  business,  and  he  must  do  that  by  all 
his  good  qualities,  namely,  by  living  a  clean,  honest  and  upright 
life. 

Above  all,  honesty  should  be  made  the  shining  star  of  his 
life,  for  it  will  be  worth  more  to  him  than  riches  in  after  years. 


At  Hamilton,  O.,  Dreyfus  Bros,  have  now  the  finest

tionery business  from  L.  H.  Nelhs  at  Williamstown,  Mass.

Mr.  Hill  Heads  Henry  Clay  &c  Bock  Company. 

Havana,  Cuba,  March  6th. — At  a  meeting  of  the  direc- 
tors of  Henry  Clay  &  Bock  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  Mr.  Percival  S.  Hill,  of 
New  York,  was  chosen  as  the  president,  in  place  of  the  late  Don 
Gustavo  Bock,  and  Mr.  Francisco  Arango  as  chief  superintend 
ent  of  all  the  factories.  J.  Norman  Staples  went  to  New  York 
on  February  26th,  and  his  brother,  A.  H.  Staples,  will  follow 
him  in  a  few  weeks.  Both  will  hold  some  important  positions 
in  the  New  York  offices.  Mr.  Fernando  Foyo,  a  leaf  buyer  for 
the  last  fifteen  years  of  the  different  factories,  has  resigned  h's 
position.  Mr.  AUie  Sylvester  in  future  will  be  the  only  and 
chief  buyer. 

President  Hill  commenced  his  career  by  making  some 
economies  in  the  working  office  forces,  discharging  twenty- 
three  superfluous  help.  He  left  for  a  short  trip  on  Saturday 
last,  March  5th,  per  steamship  "Saratoga"  for  New  York,  and 
speaks  very  hopefully  about  the  future  of  the  Henry  Clay  & 
Rock  &  Co.,  as  the  company  has  good  orders  and  a  large  stock 
of  leaf  tobacco  on  hand. 


Tobacco  Coupons — Nay,  Nay! 

The  Cigars  Manufacturers'  and  Dealers'  Leaerue  of  Greater 
New  York  at  their  second  annual  meeting  March  ist,  pro- 
tested against  tobacco  coupons.  The  Legislature  will  be  asked 
to  restrict  the  practice  of  giving  the  coupons  with  cigars.  The 
question  of  Sunday  opening  for  business  generally  was  also 
gone  into  and  a  liberal  Sabbath  demanded. 


Another  Big  Manila  Shipment. 

INCE  embarking  in  the  importation  of  Manila  cigars, 
Carlos,  Fernandez  &  Co.  tell  us  that  their  plans  seem 
to  have  been  entirely  too  limited  for  the  scope  of  busi- 
ness which  they  quickly  plunged  into,  and  they  ac- 
cordingly consummated  arrangements  whereby  they  now  have 
at  hand  a  new  shipment  of  over  three  million  Manilas  in  all 
sizes  and  brands  ready  for  instant  delivery.  The  house's  ar- 
rangements include  the  submitting  of  samples  in  stock  boxes, 
for  which  they  make  the  regular  wholesale  charges. 

Dealers  who  are  desirous  of  sharing  in  the  popularity 
which  the  proven  grades  of  Manila  goods  have  already  ac- 
quired, will  do  well  to  communicate  with  the  house,  42  E.  23rd 
street.  New  York,  immediately,  indicating  what  priced  goods 
they  want  and  securing  a  sample  line  for  show  in  their  terri- 
tory. 

The  recent  agitation  concerning  Manila  goods  and  the  at- 
titude of  the  United  States  Government  has  had,  if  anything, 
a  stimulating  effect  upon  the  sale  of  these  cigars,  and  the  finn 
of  Carlos,  Fernandez  &  Co.  were  quick  to  see  the  opening  and 
grasp  the  opportunity  of  supplying  certain  trade  with  goods 
which  they  want. 

Adeline  Boyer,  who  danced  in  New  York  in  the  American 
Music  Hall  as  a  "Princess  of  Israel",  is  said  to  have  caused 
every  lighted  cigar  in  the  house  to  go  out  when  she  reached  the 
climax  of  her  gyrations.

These  bands  the  women  removed  and  placed  on  their  little 
lingers,  so  that  they  could  Hick  the  ash  oil  the  cigar  without 
soiling  in-  burning  themselves.  It  was  many  years  befc^re  the 
dealers  th.mght  of  placing  rings  of  gaudily-colored  paper  in  the 
place  of  these  sober  and  purely  utilitarian  bands;  but  soon  as 
one  man  was  l)right  enougli  to  do  it,  all  the  others  immediately 
followed  suit.  iUit  there  are  very  few  persons  who  know  how 
the  bands  originated."

Says  a  correspondent  in  writing  on  tobacco  to  this  pub- 
lication: . 

'•If  your  cigar  burns  your  tongue,  it  is  a  pretty  sure  indi- 
cation that  a  little  too  much  molasses  was  added  to  the  leaf  in 
the  making.  Molasses  is  placed  on  the  cut  leaf  in  a  thin  film 
to  prevent  crumbling  and  the  escape  of  the  nicotine,  which  is 
the  element  that  gives  tobacco  its  flavor. 

"Smoking  a  pipe  is  an  art.  The  same  pipe  should  never 
be  used  twice  in  rapid  succession,  as  the  flavor  of  fresh  to- 
bacco is  injured  by  a  pipe  that  is  already  heated.  A  collection 
of  pipes,  all  of  them  well  broken  in  and  used  at  alternate  inter- 
vals, is  indispensable  for  a  thorough  enjoyment  of  this  form  of 

smoking. 

"In  cleaning  your  pipe  be  careful  not  to  cut  out  all  the 
'core',  but  leave  a  thin  layer  inside  the  bowl  to  prevent  burn- 
ing of  the  wood.  Much  of  the  disagreeable  task  of  cleaning 
a  pipe  can  be  avoided  if,  at  the  conclusion  of  your  smoke,  all 
the  unconsumed  tobacco  is  removed  and  the  stem  cleaned  be- 
fore the  moisture  has  time  to  evaporate  and  leave  a  deposit. 

•*lf  your  cigar  goes  out,  in  the  course  of  an  earnest  conver- 
sation when  v(»u  forget  to  keep  it  going,  hold  it  in  the  flame 
a  sec(»nd  or  two  before  pufl^ng  on  it;  this  eliminates  the  un- 
pleasant taste  of  a  dead  cigar." 

jt    ^    J< 

The  action  of  the  Hamburg-American  Line  in  ceasing  to 
designate  the  parts  of  their  ships  as  second  class  and  first  class 
has  proved  a  poinilar  move  on  their  part,  ending  the  invidious 
distinctions  between  passengers. 

There  has  never  been  any  reason  for  this  labeling  of  people 
as  first  and  seouid  class  on  the  modern  liners.  It  could  have 
i.een  avoided  bv  simply  charging  a  dilTerent  scale  of  prices  for 
llic  difl'erent  sections  of  the  ship,  and  allowing  people  to  travel 
according  to  the  money  paid.  Nobody  likes  to  he  labeled  sec- 
ond class,  although  (juite  willing  to  travel  as  economically  as 
they  may  need  to  do. 


1  was  reading  the  other  day  about  an  old  bill  for  funeral 
expenses  in  the  pre-Colonial  period  of  Virginia,  when  tobacco 
was  used  instead  of  gold  or  silver  as  currency.  1  can  imagine 
the  dismay  of  the  family  when  the  funeral  bill  for  the  owner 
of  the  farm  came  in  to  be  paid  for  in  tobacco. 

The  items  in  the  funeral  bill  found,  run,  some  of  them, 
as  follows : 

Funeral  semom,  200  pounds;  for  a  briefe,  400  pounds, 
and  lor  coffin,  150  pounds.  Next  came  the  items  for  refresh- 
ments, such  as  turkeys,  geese,  a  hog,  Hour,  poultry,  butter  and 
sugar,  spice,  cider  and  rum;  to  c«»ver  these  930  pounds  of  Vir- 
ginia leaf  were  rcquird. 

The  burdeusomeness  of  the  funeral  bill,  of  course,  de- 
pended upon  the  value  of  the  weed  in  that  day.  At  10  cents 
a  pouiKl,  the  whole  business,  aside  from  the  grave,  would 
amount  to  but  $170.  If  the  bill  were  based  on  prices  which 
some  fancy  grades  of  smoking  and  cigarette  stock,  the  fancy 
wrappers  from  distant  points,  the  tobacco  planter's  funeral 
would  come  near  taking  the  farm. 

^    ji    ^ 

Woman  and  the  smoking  question  is  always  an  interest- 
ing subject  to  me,  and  1  have  never  yet  been  able  to  arrive  at  a 
satisfactory  conclusion  as  to  the  light  in  which  the  average 
woman  views  the  use  of  the  weed  by  a  man.  Clever  women 
wIkj  are  broad  minded  on  nearly  every  other  subject,  will  take 
a  violent  dislike  to  a  man  for  indulging  himself  in  his  cigar  or 
cigarette,  even  at  the  most  opportune  time,  and  go  a  long  way 
out  of  their  path  to  secure  a  revenge  upon  him  for  a  fancied 
wrong. 

1  heard  of  a  little  story  the  other  day  along  this  line 
which  threw  some  of  my  deductions  up  in  the  air.  A  business 
woman  who  had  the  night  previous  attended  a  vaudeville  per- 
formance in  New  York,  where  smoking  was  allowed,  sud- 
denly became  incensed  at  the  young  man  who  sat  in  front  of 
her  and  was  smoking  a  cigarette.  She  said  that  a  steady  stream 
of  smoke  came  over  either  shoulder,  and  that,  after  standing  it 
as  long  as  she  could,  she  took  her  fan  from  her  bag  and  holding 
it  as  close  to  the  back  of  the  smoker's  neck  as  she  could,  began 
to  fan  steadily.  The  draught  down  his  neck  caused  the  com- 
fortable chap,  who  was  enjoying  the  performance  to  eventually 
turn  his  head.  He  encountered  a  pair  of  blazing  eyes,  and  his 
cigarette  went  to  the  floor.  He  did  not  light  another  one, 
either,  during  the  performance.  The  same  woman  said  that  she 
had  another  fan  which  slie  carried  and  which  was  loose  and  rat- 
tled.   H  a  man  smoked  near  her,  she  fanned  as  close  to  his  ear 

as  she  could. 

My  opinion  is  that  this  lady  with  the  sensitive  nerves 
ought  to  keep  away  from  the  theatres  where  smoking  is  an 

adjunct.

Tahiti,  which  suggests  at  once  unclothed  black  beings 
rushing  around  with  rings  through  their  noses,  raises  a  good 
deal  of  nice  tobacco  and  sells  its  surplus  to  nearby  islands. 
Most  of  the  women  smoke,  says  the  U.  S.  Consul  there,  and  this 
creates  a  big  demand  for  matches  of  American  make.  Tahiti 
cigarettes  are  made  of  native  tobacco  wrapped  in  thin  leaves 
of  pandanus,  a  kind  of  bark,  we  assume.

EDITORIAL. 

We  have  been  informed  during  recent  weeks  by  several  of 
the  leading  manufacturers  of  independent  brands  of  cigars  in 

Tampa,  New  York  and  elsewhere  their  ad-

and  less  of  the  gross  business  which  they 
were  doing  and  yet  they  failed  to  understand  why  results  have 
not  accrued.  In  this  connection  it  is  interesting  to  note  that 
whereas  in  our  Held  one  concern  is  spending  over  $7,0(X),ooo  f(jr 
advertising  in  all  its  various  phases,  other  firms  are  attempting 
to  compete  with  an  expenditure  of  less  than  $i,ooo.  Tliere  is 
no  question  in  the  minds  of  the  most  up-to-date  manufacturers 
and  merchants  of  America  to-day  that  the  advertising  appro^ 
priation  is  as  nuich  a  legitimate  expense  as  is  the  salary  of  the 
various  salesmen  whom  the  advertising  assists  in  the  disp.^sing 
of  goods,  and  it  seems  incongruous  to  us  that  such  thoroughly 
efficient  men  as  are  engaged  in  the  tobacco  industry  should 
hope  for  much  success  by  utilizing  bird  sh(^t  when  an  express 

riiie  is  needed. 

We  recall  distinctly  a  leading  manufacturing  concern  in 
another  line  of  business  other  than  tobacco,  who  were  glad  to 
increase  their  advertising  expense  $100,000  a  year  to  make  a 
net  profit  of  $40,000  more  than  the  year  previous.  It  is  need- 
less to  add  that  they  stand  at  the  top  of  their  field  and  there  is 
no  room  on  the  rung  for  many  competitors. 


Every  meml)er  of  the  trade  should  read  and  digest  the 
article  in  this  issue  from  the  pen  of  Dr.  i'rank  Cameron  Kin- 

sey.     This  eminent  Michigan  scientist  set 
Anti- Cigarette    ^,i,t  to  learn  the  truth  in  regard  to  cigar- 
Fallacies    Ex-    ettes.     He  has  approached  the  subject  not 
111  as  a  snu)ker,   but  as  a  scientist,  and   his 

interesting  experiences  will  explode  many 
of  the  theories  of  the  anti-cigarette  fanatics.  Read  what  he 
has  to  say  and  you  will  be  armed  with  facts  which  cannot  be 
controverted. 

New  Hampshire  has  a  gift-sale  law  against  which  the 
United  Cigar  Stores  Company  recently  coUitled  at  Manchester. 
Opening  a  bright  store  on  Elm  street,  coupons  were  given  out 
liberally. 

The  announcement  from  \\■a^hington  that  Secretary  of 
•War  Dickinson  will  recommend  to  the  I'hilippine  CoverniiKnt 

such  moditicatioiis  of  the  tiuality  stamp  as 

What  One  Protest    ^^jn  i^^niove  any  possible  construction  that

American   manufacturers,   who   have  pro-

trade.    Just  how  the  modification  recommended  by  Mr,  Dickin 
son  will  work  out  remains  to  be  seen  and  the  protestanls  sliouM 
withhold  their  jollification  until  they  know. 

One  thing  certain,  this  modification  would  never  have  been 
brought  about  voluntarily,  and  whatever  has  been  accomplished 
has  come  through  the  protests  of  the  manufacturing  interests 
in  this  country.  A  mere  handful  of  members  from  the  Cigar 
Manufacturers'  Association  backed  by  their  representatives  in 
Congress,  as  well  as  a  few  unaffiliated  manufacturers  from 
Pennsylvania,  forced  this  concession  from  the  Government. 
W  hat  a  tremendous  power  for  good  would  be  an  association

Severe   as   have   been   the   recent   anti-tobacco   legislation 

passed  by  some  of  the  state  legislatures  the  trade  should  fiiul 

solace  in  the  knowledge  that  the  business  today  is  not  hampered 

'T  L  D^         as  much  as  in  the  olden  days.     Much  of  the 

1  obacco    Ke-      .     .  ,  ,  ,  ♦    .i. 

,       legislation  to-day  is  passed  in  response  to  the 

termers  m  the    ,J^.,J,^^,^,^^  ^^f  people  who  have  no  compreheii- 
Olden  Days,     sion  of  the  tobacco  (juestion  as  it  affects  the 
health  and  morals  of  the  general  public. 

In  the  olden  days,  laws  were  passed  by  some  of  the 
New  Kngland  colonies  forbidding  the  growth  of  tobacco  ex- 
cept in  small  (juantities  and  then  only  as  a  necessity  for  med- 
icine to  be  taken  privately  by  old  men.  Nowadays  legislatures 
forbid  the  use  of  tobacco  because  it  may  reipiire  medicine  to 
counteract  its  effects ! 

In  the  Colonial  days,  no  man  was  allowed  to  smoke  pub- 
licly iK)r  in  his  own  house  in  the  presence  of  strangers,  hor- 
tunately  these  blue  laws  have  long  since  passed  into  limbo  and 
only  to  reappear  occasionally  in  the  guise  of  so-called  modern 
reform.  lUit  the  average  American  goes  on  smoking  and  chew- 
ing, merrily  laughing  up  his  sleeve  at  the  false  prophets.  He 
wants  his  tobacco,  and  no  law  shall  deprive  him  of  it. 

Victory  for  the  Burley  People. 

In  a  suit  at  Louisville,  Ky..  judgment  was  entere<l  on 
March  5th  in  favor  of  the  lUirley  Tobacco  Society  and  the 
Meade  County  P.oard  of  Control  again.st  parties  who  were  at- 
tempting to  sell  pooled  tobacco.  The  defendants  paid  all  the 
costs,  including  attorneys'  fees,  and  the  impounded  tobacco  was 
turned  back  into  the  warehouse  to  be  sold  under  the  lUirley 
terms.  The  Burley  Society  is  enforcing  its  contracts  vigr)r- 
ously  and  shows  clean  hands  in  court  resulting  in  a  decree.

The  A.   H.  Hillman  Co.   Liquidates. 

TiIlE  whcjlcsalc  jobbing  and  distributing  house  of  the 
I  A.  U.  Ililhnan  Co.,  437  Pearl  street,  New  York,  has 
liquidated  its  business  for  the  benefit  of  its  creditors. 
A.  11.  11  illnian,  the  head  of  the  company  began  his 
career  in  the  tobacco  business  35  years  ago  with  P.  Lorillard 
&  Co.  In  1887  he  branched  out  for  his  own  account  and  8 
years  ago  fonne<l  the  present  company — The  A.  II.  Hillman 
Co.  He  has  had  a  long,  and  up  to  about  three  years  ago,  a 
very  successful  trade,  having  handled  and  placed  upon  the 
New  York  market  during  these  years  some  very  large  accounts. 
Notably  among  these  may  be  mentioned  the  7-204  cigar,  man- 
ufactured by  R.  G.  Sullivan  &  Co.,  Manchester,  N.  H.,  and 
for  which  his  company  were  the  sole  distributing  agents  for 
this  territory. 

Mr.  Hillman  states  that  as  far  back  as  three  years  ago,  he 
could  foresee  the  inevitable  future  for  his  company  which 
handled  only  independent  manufacturers'  goods. 

He  began  curtailing  expenses  in  every  way  possible,  and 
from  time  to  time  became  encouraged,  but  only  to  finally  decide 
to  give  up  the  struggle  and  to  call  a  meeting  of  his  creditors 
which  was  held  on  Monday,  March  7th.  After  thoroughly 
<liscussing  the  matter,  the  creditors  ap|X)inted  a  committee 
composed  of  Jacob  Wertheim,  George  S.  Nicholas,  Joseph 
M(»nday  and  Stephen  G.  Ruth,  who  took  full  charge  and  will 
Ii(juidale  the  affairs  of  the  company  for  the  benefit  of  the  cred- 
itors without  the  additicjnal  expense  of  a  receivership. 

The  liabilities  are  about  $23,000;  actual  assets,  about 
$15,000. 

Mr.  Hillman 's  recent  experience  exemplifies  the  situation 
regarding  the  indej)cndent  jobber  in  New  York  City  to-day. 


Ruy  Lopez  Ca.  Build  New  Factory. 

Ruy  Lopez  Ca.,  whose  New  York  offices  are  at  86-88  Ful- 
ton street,  have  the  construction  of  a  new  factory  at  Key  West 
now  well  under  way. 

It  will  be  a  very  substantial  and  thoroughly  up-to-date 
building,  two  stories  in  height,  with  a  frontage  of  213  feet 
and  depth  of  124  feet,  and  a  courtyard  in  the  centre. 

The  building  is  to  be  of  pressed  concrete  construction  with 
monolithic  columns  balanced  with  water  tanks  on  the  towers  at 
either  end,  thus  affording  a  gravity  service  throughout  the  fac- 
tory, as  well  as  a  ready  protection  in  case  of  fire. 

There  will  be  ample  room  for  seating  650  cigarmakers, 
which  will  permit  of  an  annual  output  of  fifteen  million  cigars. 

Thomas  G.  Thompson,  vice  president  and  teasurer,  whose 
head(|uarters  at  the  New  York  office  is  gratified  not  only  on 
account  of  the  excellent  trade  they  are  enjoying  at  present,  but 
also  in  the  anticipation  of  the  Ruy  Lopez  Ca.  occupying  their 
new  f|uarters  in  the  near  future,  the  date  of  which  should  not 
be  later  than  August. 


H.  Duys  &  Co.  Inscription  Buyers. 

John  H.  Duys,  of  H.  Duys  &  Co..  one  of  the  leading  Su- 
matra houses  of  the  United  States,  sailed  from  New  York  per 
steamship  "Oceanic"  on  Febmary  26th,  and  has  been  for  a 
week  past  in  Amsterdam,  studying  the  business  situation  there 
and  attending  the  inscriptions. 

Mr.  Duys  cabled  his  house  on  the  nth  that  the  crop  for 
1 9 10  was  away  below  standard,  and  that  old  goods  were  in 
vigorous  demand,  lie  secured  an  assortment  of  500  bales  of 
old  light  tobacco  during  his  first  week,  and  is  watching  closely 
for  any  new  which  is  worth  while. 

Mr.  Duys  will  remain  abroad  till  about  the  middle  of 
April,  and  upon  his  return  to  New  York,  his  brother,  Harry 
M.  Duys,  will  visit  Amsterdam  and  remain  until  the  inscrip- 
tions are  completed. 


Havana  Expert  in  New  York. 

Rene  Berndes,  of  the  leaf  tobacco  firm  of  J.  V.  Ijerndes 
&  Co.,  Havana,  arrived  in  New  York  on  the  8th  on  the  Ward 
liner  "Saratoga"  for  a  brief  business  stay.  Mr.  Bemdes  is 
Vice-Consul  of  Austria  at  Havana,  and  was  the  secretary  of 
the  Agricultural  Commission  appointed  by  President  Gomez 
some  time  ago  to  report  on  the  tobacco  fields  of  Cuba  and 
suggest  methods  for  betterment.  The  commission's  report 
created  a  vast  amount  of  discussion  both  favorable  and  un- 
favorable, but  the  keynote  of  it,  which  was  for  irrigation,  can 
hardly  be  disputed. 

Edgar  Ware,  of  the  United  Cigar  Stores  Co.,  returned  to 
New  York  on  the  8th  after  a  business  trip  to  Havana.

HE  AMCEHAT  SOCIETY,  which  is  composed  of 
employees  of  the  Acker,  Merrill  &  Condit  Co.,  held 
their  sixth  annual  meeting  on  March  8th  at  the  Grand 
Central  Palace,  N.  Y.  City.  The  earlier  part  of  the

acts,  which  was  followed  by  an  extended  program  of  danc- 
ing.   There  were  about  looo  members  and  friends  present. 

Mr.  S.  N.  Higbie,  Secretary  of  the  Society,  which,  by  the 
way,  is  for  the  benefit  of  a  sick  fund,  deserved  great  credit  for 
the  success  of  the  entire  function. 

The  cigar  department  of  the  various  stores  was  well  repre- 
sented, and  Mr.  S.  P.  Coe,  manager,  took  special  pains  to  see 
that  his  department  acquitted  itself  creditably. 


D.  M.  Frank,  the  New  York  cigar  manufacturer  with  a 
factory  on  52nd  street,  has  taken  the  building  formerly  occu- 
pied by  the  Ash  Cigar  Company,  of  Poughkeepsie,  and  will

The  followiufj  resolutions  bearing  upon  the  strike  situa- 
tion were  adopted : 

"Whkrfas.  Owiiiff  to  the  cxaRRcratcd  statements  of  conditions  in 
our  rity.  arising  out  of  the  carmen's  strike,  wliich  have  heen  and  are 
heinn  <iaily  published  by  the  newspapers  of  both  this  and  other  cities, 
we  believe  it  to  be  the  duty  of  all  true  citizens  of  Philadelphia  to  make 
known  in  no  uncertain  way  their  demand  that  such  exaggerated  state- 
ments shall  cease  to  be  made;  and, 

"VVnKRK.AS,  The  opportunities  seized  by  other  cities  to  alarm  the 
imblic  and  thus  prevent  their  merchants  from  coming  to  Philadelphia 
iiave  become  •^o  ai)parent.  and  are  having  such  bad  effect,  that  the  entire 
business  inter(st<;  of  our  city  have  an<l  are  suffering;  therefore,  be  it 

"Resolved.  That  the  Philadelphia  Leaf  Tobacco  Board  of  Trade 
re<|uest  f>nr  b(»me  newspapers  to  cease  publishing  any  articles  likely  to 
inflame  the  public  mind;  but.  on  the  contrary,  to  make  known  the  exact 
conditions,  we  believing  that  if  this  were  done  business  conditions  would 
innnediatcly  rc<^ume  their  ordinary  channel;  and  be  it  further 

"Rcsohtd.  That  we,  having  in  mind  only  the  honor  and  fame  of  our 
beloved  city,  do  hereby  approve  and  indorse  the  efforts  of  the  city 
authorities  in  maintaining  order  and  suppressing  lawlessness  and  the 
destruction  of  property,  and  we  hope  and  trust  that  all  the  power  at  their 
comm.inrl  will  be  invoked  and  used  for  the  purpose,  if  ncccsssary," 


Charles  K.  Crawford,  with  the  Havana  leaf  importing: 
bruise  of  Dohan  &  Taitt,  returned  a  few  days  njjo  from  a  visit 
to  Havana,  wdiere  he  was  successful  in  the  procurement  of  ad- 
<litional  supplies  of  desirable  leaf  for  his  firin. 


Felix  F.ckerson,  of  F.  Fckerson  &  Co.,  of  this  city,  last

forces  of  the  Newman  and  Mayer  Co.,  and  will  represent 
them    in  New  England. 

Much  Activity  at  44  Factory. 

It  is  reported  by  the  44  Cigar  Company  that  their  large 
new  plant  at  nth  and  Wharton  streets  is  at  present  taxed  to 
its  full  capacity  and  that  overtime  work  is  necessary  to  keep 
pace  with  the  orders  coming  in.  Some  very  substantial  orders 
have  been  received  lately  from  O.  L.  Myers,  who  is  covering 
the  West.  The  "44"  cigar  is  gaining  very  rapidly  in  public 
favor  in  that  section  of  the  country.  Mahlon  A.  Funk,  rep- 
resenting the  factory  in  Pennsylvania,  is  now  also  out  and 
some  nice  orders  are  coming  in  daily. 

Fine  New  Store  in  Business  Centre. 
Albert  D.  Miller,  who  formerly  conducted  a  cigar  shop  in 
the  fashionable  district  of  Germantown,  Wayne  avenue  and 
P.erklev  street,  has  leased  a  store  on  the  southeast  comer  of 
iith  and  Sansom  streets,  and  will  this  week  open  a  shop 
there.  Mr.  IMiller  is  having  the  place  entirely  renovated,  and 
when  completed,  it  will  be  one  of  the  most  attractive  retail 
stores  in  the  business  section.  A  pool  parlor  will  be  opened 
in  the  rear. 

The  H.  S(Miimer  Company  factory  at  Quakertown  is  re- 
ported to  be  receiving  an  encouraging  run  of  business  during 
the  past  week  or  two,  and  they  notice  a  specially  strong  demand 
f«ir  their  "Dorothy  Dix"  and  "King  Clay"  brands  of  nickel 
cigars,  as  well  as  the  "La  Tendencia,"  a  ten-cent  Havana  and 
broad  leaf  proposition.  Mrs.  Henry  Sommer,  accompanied  by 
Mrs.  Ferd  Somtner,  left  about  a  week  ago  upon  a  three  months' 
cruise  in  the  i\Tediterranean  for  the  benefit  of  the  health  of  the 
senior  Mrs.  Sommer.

The  February  Production. 

f  A  ACCORDING  to  the  report  of  the  sale  of  internal  rev- 
[y\J  enue  stamps  made  by  Collector  McCoach,  the  output 
imgn  of  tobacco  products  in  the  First  Internal  Revenue 
^2^sl  District  of  Pennsylvania,  during  the  month  of  Febru- 
ary shows  up  encouragingly  well  for  the  cigar  trade,  but  not  so 
aood  in  the  manufacture  of  cigarettes,  snuff  and  tobacco. 
The  figures  are  as  follows: 

Feb.,  1909.  Feb.,  1910.  Increase. 

ri„ars    at  $3 47.362.690  49-594450  2.231.760 

CiRars'   a     54c 12.156.000  16.363.900  4.207.^

Snuff,  at  6c.  (lbs.) 887.630  7.N69.  '^8.9,, 

I  olKuo..  at  6c.   (lbs.) 91.152  63-/87  2/.3^", 

Not  since  I'ebniary.  U)Oj,  have  these  figures  of  cigar  pro- 
,hu'tion>  been  exceeded  during  the  past  ten  years,  but  it  has 
l,oen  growing  more  or  less  steadily  since  1900.  when  the  pro- 
drction  of  cigars  amounted  to  only  36,597,275. 

It  will  come  as  an  agreeable  surprise  to  the  manufactunng 
industry,  because  it  was  believed  all  during  the  month  that  the 
month  must  show  a  decrease. 

Strike  Has  Slight  Effect  on  Factories. 

Philadelphia  cigar  manufacturers  were,  upon  the  whole, 
fortunate  that  they  were  so  little  affected  by  the  general  lab..r 
strike  In  only  a  few  instances  was  there  a  walkout  of  sym- 
pathetic strikers,  and  at  last  reports  many  of  these  were  re- 
turning to  their  work.  In  fact,  some  of  the  largest  factories 
were  not  affected  at  all,  and  have  their  usual  forces  at  work- 
It  is  believed  that  within  a  very  short  time  the  condition>  wdl 
again  be  entirely  normal. 

On  behalf  of  the  Philadelphia  Leaf  Tobacco  Board  of 
Trade  Mr  Julius  Vetterlein,  president  of  the  local  body,  at- 
tended a  meeting  of  the  United  Business  Men's  League  on 
bViday  afternoon  last,  and  reports  that  he  was  nuich  pleased 
with  the  opinions  expressed  by  those  who  attended.  He  teels 
convinced  that  there  arc  only  good  motives  behm<l  the  move- 
ment for  the  restoration  of  peace  between  the  workmgmen  and 
their  employers. 

John  N.  Kolb,  president  of  the  Theobald  &  Oppenheimer 
Co.,  is  now  actively  preparing  for  his  annual  visit  to  Amster- 
dam, in  quest  of  new  supplies  of  Sumatra  tobacco  for  his  firm. 
He  will  in  all  probability  sail  on  March  22d,  and  will  be  away 
several  weeks. 

Arthur  Hogen  &  Co.,  now  at  153  North  Third  street,  will 
shortly  remove  to  152  North  Third  street,  just  across  the  way, 
where  increased  facilities  will  be  at  their  command.  The 
building  is  now  undergoing  extensive  alterations  and  a  thor- 
ough renovation. 

The  M  J  Dalton  Cigar  Co.  are  now  comfortably  domi- 
ciled in  their  new  quarters  on  South  Thirteenth  street,  below 
Chestnut,  which  was  formerly  occupied  by  the  Broomal-La- 
fayette  Cigar  Co. 

S.  Shepherd  &  Son,  jobbers  and  wholesale  dealers,  for 
many  years  at  1520  Market  street,  have  removed  to  1628 
Market  The  new  premises  is  a  well-appointed  building,  and 
every  facility  and  comfort  is  now  enjoyed.  Their  business  has 
shown  a  healthy  growth,  making  this  change  to  larger  quarters 
very  desirable. 

Nearly  fifty  per  cent,  increase  in  the  volume  of  their  busi- 
ness on  Cressman's  "Counsellor"  cigars  is  reported  during  the 
present  year  as  compared  with  the  corresponding  period  of  last 
year.  In  fact  February  sales  were  the  largest  in  the  history 
of  the  house.

Tampa  to  direct  the  work  of  buiMing  the  new  factory  there. 

l^avuk  Bros,  report  that  they  have  been  sold  ahead  almost 
constantlv  this  vear  so  far.  The  local  demand  for  their  "Ha-

through  Western  States  is  highly  encouraging.  Mr.  Samuel 
Bayuk,  of  this  fimi,  is  at  present  away  on  a  pleasure  trip  to

**King  High"    Cigars  in  Northwest. 

\ccording  to  advices  received  from  A.  D.  Killheffer,  Mil- 
lersville,  Pa.,  the  "King  High"  brand  of  cigars  manufactured 
by' him  are  meeting  with  great  favor  in  the  Northwest,  and 
.hiplicate  orders  are  beginning  to  arrive  in  goodly  TUimbers. 

M  this  factory  arc  also  made  the  "Forecaster,  Lord 
Krovden  "  "Cuban  P.rownies"  and  other  brands  which  have 
an  extensive  following  in  the  Fast,  and  the  factory  forces  are 
fully  employed  to  meet  the  demand  for  these  goods. 

Has  the  Court  Decided) 

Press  dispatches  from  Washington  date<l  March  5th  were 
full  of  tips  and  rumors  to  the  effect  that  the  Sui>reme  Court 
had  decided  the  Tobacco  Trust  case  and  that  somebody  had 
leaked.  The  "dope"  decision,  as  rendered  by  the  tipsters,  is 
6  to  2  in  favor  of  the  American  Tobacco  Co. 

We  have  not  the  slightest  idea  that  anybcKly  knows  what 
this  decision  is,  but  there  are  many  who  believe  it  will  be  on 
conservative  lines  and  that  stocks  will  not  be  affected  thereby.

'J'ampa,  J'la.,  Alarcli  12. 
II  \  I  iiuipiiiit  strikes,  Imkoiits,  tlic  bickerings  and  ill- 
ieelin}4  lliMt  lead  u|»  to  tliese  climaxes,  are  now  prac- 
lically  imp  .ssihU-  in  the  cigarmakinj^  industry  in  this 
c  ity.  was  amply  ilhiNtrated  in  an  incident  wliicli  oc- 
»  itnid  lure  last  week  at  the  factory  of  (iarcia,  I'ando  &  Co. 
It  a]. pears  that  s<.me  few  cigarniakers  at  the  factory  in  f|uestion 
were  put  to  \\..ik  on  a  certain  shajjc  cigar  at  a  price  that  occa- 
si«.ne<|  no  eonunent  from  them  at  first.  Later,  they  learned 
that  tin-  shape  in  <|nestion  called  for.  say.  $6  per  thousand 
m  lie  than  they  were  getting.  Their  ujn"on  promptly  took  the 
matter  up.  calling  attention  to  their  scale  on  this  shape,  and 
ordering  the  men  to  stop  making  that  size. 

The  manufacturers  in  (|uestion  were  ignorant  of  the  scale, 
hut  the  matter  was  (|uietly  and  readily  adjusted  by  the  proper 
(oinujittees  fnnn  the  (  lear  Havana  Cigar  Manufacturers'  As- 
sociation, and  the  miion.  with  the  result  that  the  scale  was 
found  to  he  as  the  union  claimed,  and  it  was  immediately  paid 
by  the  (larcia.  Pando  Company,  who  had  no  desire  to  cut 
wages  on  their  emj)loyees  and  were  amenable  to  being  "shown". 
There  have  been  several  similar  incidents,  where  the  com- 
mittee in  charge  of  such  matters  from  the  Manufacturers'  As- 
sociation, whose  interests  and  rulings  are  guarded  over  by 
I 'resident  l-lnrique  ]\'ndas.  of  the  Pendas  &  .Alvarez  house, 
have  heard  both  sides  in  the  matter  and  ruled  in  an  equitable 
and  satisfactory  manner  to  all  parties.  As  a  result,  labor  con- 
<litions  here  are  on  a  highly  satisfactory  basis. 

I  business  here  continut's  in  good  volume  for  all  of  the 
factories  and  the  outlook  for  the  smnmer  months  points  to  a 
steady  demand  for  the  'iampa  product.  Receipts  of  tobacco 
from  (  tiba  since  March  i  totaled  2.570  bales.  Tn  one  consign- 
ment this  week  there  were  over  i.cxx)  bales  for  the  Havana- 
American  Company.  Internal  revenue  receipts  for  the  month 
of  I'ebruary — always  an  excellent  barometer  of  the  output  of 
the  factories — totaled  $63,009.40.  an  increase  over  February, 
1900.  of  $7,307.08. 

1'..  r.albin.  of  P.albin  P)rothers.  makers  of  "Elisardo,"  has 
returned  from  a  visit  to  Cuba,  where  he  spent  some  little  time 
on  business.  Mr.  Ualbin  declare<l  that  the  drouth  which  has 
invaded  t  uba  has  done  damage  to  the  V'uelta  Abajo  section, 
the  recent  rains  being  too  late  to  be  of  much  material  benefit, 
Partido^.  he  was  informed,  would  j)robal)ly  yield  a  good  sup- 
ply, but  just  how  weather  conditions  which  have  obtained  will 
aftect  the  (juality  could  not  be  determined  at  this  early  date.  He. 
fomid  conditions  on  the  island  very  favorable,  generallv  speak- 
ing, but  declared  that  there  was  not  much  doubt  about  Greater 
Tampa  being  that  center  of  the  clear  Havana  cigar  manufactur- 
ing industry  to  which  all  manufacturers  now  turn  a  watchful 
eye. 

That  the  growers  of  TMorida  tobacco  are  preparing  for  a 
busy  year  is  evident  from  the  reports  which  come  to  this  citv 
from  ( iadsen  County,  the  Tlorida  center  of  the  newly-formed 
American  .*^umatra  Tobacco  Company.  Tobacco  beds  are  being 
sown  there  preparatory  to  tobacco  ])lanting.  Considerable  sun 
tobacco  will  Ik-  |)lan(ed.  but  just  what  the  acreage  of  shade 
tobacco  will  be  ha»^  not  yet  been  detennined. 

.\  mitvement  is  on   foot  here  now,  having  been  taken  up 
by  the  liiKird  of  'Trade,  which  may  mean  a  new  and  short  line 


of  railroad  connecting  Atlanta  and  this  city.  Directors  of  the 
recently  formed  Jacksonville  and  Atlanta  Short  Line  have  in- 
vited Tampa  to  aid  them  in  building  a  tap  line  from  this  city 
north,  to  their  main  line,  connecting  at  Dupont,  Ga.  Such  a 
road  would  mean  a  more  direct  and  much  shorter  haul  from 
this  city  to  Atlanta,  and  the  territory  adjacent  to  and  beyond 
there. 

The  work  on  the  Boltz-Clymer  &  Co.  factory  is  progress- 
ing nicely.  Architect  Fred  J.  James  has  just  received  a  water 
color  of  the  building,  made  from  an  architect's  perspective,  and 
it  is  a  handsome  thing.  The  color  scheme  of  the  building  will 
be  dark  red,  the  gables  and  Colonial  columns  white. 

Vice  President  Torre,  of  the  Sanchez  y  Haya  house,  is 
looking  forward  with  pleasure  to  l)eing  located  in  the  firm's 
new  factory.  'They  are  cramped  for  space  in  the  old  building, 
the  volume  of  business  having  outgrown  the  present  (juarters. 
The  special  shape,  "Pacific"  brand  is  meeting  with  considerable 
success  on  the  I'acific  Coast  and  in  the  Middle  West. 

Judge  J.  P>.  Wall,  sitting  in  chancery,  has  denied  the  ap- 
plication for  an  injunction  to  restrain  the  P.riskol  Cigar  Com- 
pany from  using  the  brand,  "I*.  H.  S.,"  asked  for  by  attor- 
neys for  Vn]  M.  Antuono,  manufacturer  of  the  well-known 
*'C'.  H.  S."  brand.  The  court  denied  the  application  on  the 
ground  that  the  use  of  the  letters,  "P.  H.  S."  did  not  constitute 
an  infringement  on  the  Antuono  trade-mark. 

F.  ( iarcia.  head  of  the  house  of  F.  Garcia  &  Brother,  will 
arrive  here  from  New  York  Saturday.  The  Garcia  factory, 
recently  damaged  by  fire,  has  been  repaired,  and  business  is 
reported  as  excellent  by  them. 

James  Fernandez,  son  of  Ramon  Fernandez,  the  well- 
known  manufacturer,  should  arrive  from  the  Northwest  \i\ 
about  two  weeks.  ITe  has  been  on  the  road  in  the  interest  of 
the  firm  for  the  past  few  months.  Mr.  Fernandez  is  a  young 
man  who  has  been  given  a  thorough  training  in  his  father's 
factory  in  every  detail  of  the  cigarmaker's  art.  Tie  is  now 
meeting  the  trade,  completing  his  education  in  the  business  of 
manufacturing  and  placing  the  clear  Havana. 

M.  S.  Long,  proprietor  of  the  Flatiron  cigar  store,  and 
some  half  dozen  other  cigar  stores,  in  Akron.  Ohio,  was  a  vis- 
itor to  Tampa  during  the  past  week,  Mr.  Long  spent  some 
time  inspecting  the  factories  here.  lie  was  delighted  at  the 
cleanliness  of  the  factories  he  visited,  and  declares  he  will  be  in 
a  position  to  refute  anybody  ever  again  "romancing"  to  him 
alx^ut  the  Tampa  product  being  made  in  unsanitary  ]>laces.  the 
tobacco  being  mixed  up  with  scraps  and  sweepings. 

Antonio  Rico,  formerly  connected  with  Samuel  I.  Davis 
&  Co.,  is  now  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Carlos  Toro  &  Co.  Mr. 
Rico  is  a  manufacturer  of  high-grade  clear  Havana  cigars  with 
more  than  30  years'  experience  to  his  credit.  Carlos  Toro.  head 
of  the  firm,  prominent  in  municipal  politics,  finishing  up  his 
third  term  as  a  City  Councilman  now,  left  during  the  w^eck  for 
the  Southern  territory,  thence  on  to  the  Middle  West  and  Can- 
ada, in  the  interests  of  his  firm. 

F.  Rcgensburg  &  Sons  will  shortly  move  into  their  new 
factory,  which  is  one  of  the  finest  in  this  city.  During  the  past 
six  months  the  Rcgensburg  firm  have  been  .so  pressed  for  space 
in  their  temporary  factory  by  virtue  of  the  tremendous  volume 
of  business  they  were  doing,  they  were  compelled  to  add  addi- 
tional fjuarters  in  order  to  keep  up  with  their  orders. 

Receiver  for  Zanesville,  O.,   Factory. 

As  a  result  of  the  suit  brought  by  Fthie  Lindsay,  a  re- 
ceiver has  been  appointed  for  Lindsay  &  Zimmer's  cigar  busi- 
ness at  Zanesville,  O.  The  plaintiff  alleges  that  Grant  F.  Zim- 
mer,  her  partner,  mismanaged  the  business  and  failed  to  tuni 
over  to  her  her  share  of  the  profits.  She  also  asked  for  a  dis- 
solution of  the  partnership.  The  business  will  be  continued 
under  |.  11.  Schofield.  the  receiver,  until  further  orders  from 
the  court.

Trade  in  Chicago  and  the  West. 

Splendid    Hotels  and    Public    Buildings    Add  Vitality  to  Trade — Big 
Demand  for  Stogies  and  Five-Centers. 

Chicago,  .March  0. 
HFTllFR  it  be  from  the  bitter  cold  weather  and  need 
of  comfort  and  consolation  incident  thereto,  there  has 
been  an  enormous  trade  done  in  all  branches  of  to- 
bacco during  the  winter  and  this  early  spring  season 
in  Chicago.  Vou  know  we  have  had  two  or  tliree  magnificent 
hotels  to  go  up  this  winter,  and  it  is  an  axiom  that  wherever 
there  is  luxury  and  style  there  is  the  curl  and  aroma  of  tobacco 
smoke.  Men  think  and  smoke  tobacco,  as  the  old  poet  bade  us 
to  do  in  your  last  issue,  and  then  they  smoke  and  chew  when 
they  are  not  thinking,  so  that  the  tobacco  raisers  get  them  both 
going  and  coming. 

There  has  been  a  big  demand  for  5-cent  goods  all  winter 
here,  as  there  has  been  for  Pittsburg  stogies,  and  stogies  from 
other  points. 

Detroit  has  felt  Chicago's  impulse  this  winter,  and  has  sold 
l»)ts  of  stutf  here.  A  number  of  busy  cigar  stores  and  stands 
have  been  opened,  with  a  few  of  these  offering  inducements 
for  box  buyers,  and  are  well  worth  being  rated  as  jobbers  and 
wholesalers. 

All  the  hotel  .stands  in  the  city  worth  mentioning  are  in 
good  shai)e,  though  the  consumer  does  scjueal  at  the  fancy 
prices  some  show  cases  display. 

1  losmer  &  Co,  have  imparted  new  life  to  their  trade  by  ap- 
l)ointing  L,  H.  Baker  manager  of  their  entire  tobacco  depart- 
ment. Mr.  Baker  is  going  over  their  line,  and  has  already  de- 
cided adding  two  or  three  makes  in  addition  to  those  he  will

The  official  schedule  of  Mr.  T.  Murdock's  estate  (formerly 
of  Reid,  M unlock  &  Company)  shows  him  to  have  been  a  very 
wealthy  man,  his  assets  running  up  to  between  J?4,ooo,ooo  and 

^,5,000,000. 

Mr.  Henry  Taussig,  returning  from  the  South,  had  some- 
thing interesting  to  say  of  the  Sumatra  Tobacco  Company, 
which  is  taking  up  some  valuable  lands  in  South  Georgia  and 
North  Florida.  Mr.  Taussig  found  evidence  South  that  good 
tobacco  lands  could  be  had  in  the  section  mentioned,  and  the 
hopes  of  the  promoters  are  buoyant  for  a  far-reaching  industry. 

Trade  was  somewhat  surprised  to  learn  that  Engelman,  of 
St.  Paul,  was  making  a  test  of  the  Chicago  market.  He  has 
opened  an  office  at  34  Wabash  avenue. 

No.  622  West  Randolph  street  is  now  the  habitat  of  a  man- 
ufacturing corporation  known  as  La  Ventura  Cigar  Company. 
Secretary  Charles  Liebovitz  states  that  they  will  have  several 
brands  of  cigars  which  will  be  heard  from,  in  sizes  adapted  to 
popular  needs. 

The  registration  books  of  the  Auditormm,  La  Salle, 
Palmer  House  and  other  leading  houses  disclose  the  names  of 
a  big  number  of  cigar  and  tobacco  salesmen  within  the  past  30 

(lays. 

A  big  State  street  dealer  says  that  The  Tobacco  World  m 
its  new  dress  is  a  specimen  of  Eastern  yellow  journalism,  but 
he  wants  more  of  it,  and  I  enclose  his  subscription  herewith. 

Those  Filipino  cigars  have  been  obtruding  themselves  in 
the  Chicago  market  lately,  and  one  dealer  thinks  the  best  way 
to  get  rid  of  them  is  either  to  smoke  them  up  or  smoke  them 
out,  both  of  which  methods  I  find  are  pursued  here. 

I  learn  that  a  brand  of  bright  golden  chewing  plug  is  to 
be  marketed  shortly  by  an  independent  concern,  claiming  a  new 
process  and  most  delicate  flavoring.  A  name  has  been  asked 
for  from  a  number  of  experts  in  nomenclature. 

Good  news  reaches  here  concerning  Ohio  and  other  to- 
bacco centers  of  the  Central  West.  The  meeting  at  Dayton  re- 
cently seemed  to  have  had  a  good  effect.

Must  Remove  Tobacco  Signs. 

Acting  on  the  P.ible  apothegm  that  a  wicke<l  and  idolatrous 
generation  demandeth  a  "sign",  the  American  Tobacco  Com- 
pany has  been  carrying  this  tnith  into  various  i)arts  of  the 
country.  Little  trouble  has  been  had  until  the  classic  city  of 
Harrisburg,  Pa.,  was  embellished  with  signs  relating  to  "hon- 
est scrap  tobacco".  This  grated  on  Harrisburg's  aestheticism 
and  caused  the  American  Civic  A.ssociation,  through  J.  Horace 
McFarland,  to  address  the  A.  T.  Co,  as  follows: 

"Certain  representatives  of  yours  have  been  tacking  up 
about  Harrisburg  signs  relating  to  Honest  Scrap  Tobacco.  I 
hardly  believe  you  know  that  these  signs  are  altogether  illegal 
under  two  Pennsylvania  laws,  one  the  act  of  1903,  which  re- 
quires the  written  consent  of  the  owner  or  tenant,  and  the  other 
of  1881,  which  also  recpiires  consent.  Both  of  these  acts  carry 
penalties,  one  of  them  including  imprisonment." 

The  company  is  given  two  weeks  in  wdiich  to  remove  the 

signs.

pipes  which  find  their  way  to  the  United  States. 

A  WoKi.D  representative  saw  Mr.  Eckert  at  the  hotel,  who 
gave  him  some  very  interesting  facts  concerning  the  manufac- 
ture and  history  of  the  luiropean  pipe  industry.  The  house  of 
b.ckert  has  l>een  in  the  pipe  business  in  Nurnberg  as  long  as 
memory  recalleth  and  is  undoubtedly  one  of  the  oldest  con- 
cerns in  the  world,  being,  incidentally,  pioneers  in  the  produc- 
tion of  brier  i)ipes.  Mr.  Eckert  claims  that  the  English  Bull 
Dog  and  briar  pijK's  did  not  originate  in  Great  Britain,  but  were 
of  French  creation,  and  that  it  was  only  in  recent  years  that 
the  Britisher  coinmencetl  to  make  his  pipes  at  home  and  quit 
importing  tliem  from  France  and  Germany.  He  called  partic- 
ular attention  to  the  fact  that  the  long-stemmed  pipes  with 
which  Teutons  have  been  for  so  many  years  indissolubly  con- 
nected, were  going  out  of  favor  in  Germany,  and  that  the  Ger- 
mans are  to-day  more  largely  using  short-stemmed  briars  than 
any  other  variety. 

It  is  odd  to  note  that  most  of  the  briar  r(X)t  which  is  util- 
ized in  the  production  of  pipes  to-day  is  imported  from  the 
island  of  Corsica.  C)riginally  the  root  came  from  the  Pyrenees 
mountains.  The  supply  in  that  section,  however,  seems  to  have 
been  largelv  curtailed  and  better  results  were  found  to  be  ob- 
tained from  the  Corsican  supply.  The  manufacture  of  briar 
pipes  with  the  amber  stem  is  a  laborious  process,  and  it  takes 
fully  an  hour  to  turn  out  one  of  the  completed  articles,  though, 
of  course,  the  modern  manufacturers  are  making  them  to-day 
in  large  rpiantities  at  the  same  time. 

Mr.  Eckert  said  that  the  supply  of  amber  is  becoming 
more  and  more  limited  and  that  the  lumps  which  are  found 
are  smaller  and  smaller  each  year ;  the  cigarette  holder  of  pure, 
solid  amber  to-day  commanding  in  the  market  twice  the  price 
that  it  did  ten  or  fifteen  years  ago.  In  the  consumption  of 
])ipes  the  German  manufacturer  rates  the  United  States  as  the 
third  market  of  the  world.  He  states  Great  Britain  is  the  larg- 
est market  according  to  population  and  the  demand  in  South 
Africa  is  second.  The  Gennan  consumption  of  pipes,  Mr.  Eck- 
ert says,  has  been  largely  augmented  during  the  past  year 
owing  to  the  tariff  of  15  per  cent,  which  was  placed  on  the 
importation  of  cigars. 

Mr.  Eckert  will  reipain  in  the  United  States  for  probably 
six  weeks,  and  during  that  time  will  visit  the  leading  trade 
centres  of  the  country.

To  Enjoin  Cincinnati  Mail  Order  House. 
American  Cigar  Company  Brings  Suit  Against  Ohio  Firm  of 

Same  Name. 

CiiNCJNN.Mi,  O.,  March  11. 
TTORNEV  SIDNEY  G.  STRIKER,  representing  the 
American  Cigar  Company  of  New  Jersey,  last  week 
filed  a  bill  in  e(iuity  in  the  United  States  Circuit  Court, 
Covington,  Ky.,  in  which  the  court  was  asked  to  issue 
an  injunction  against  the  further  conduct  of  a  mail  order  busi- 
ness operated  by  George  A.  Shaw  and  his  wife,  iilanche  1. 
Shaw,  in  Cincinnati,  under  the  name  of  the  American  Cigar 
Company.  The  New  Jersey  corporation,  which  mauutactures 
about  90  per  cent,  of  the  cigars  in  America,  claims  that  incal- 
culable damage  has  been  done  to  its  business  and  reputation  be- 
cause the  Cincinnati  concern  had  misled  the  public  into  the 
belief  that  they  were  doing  business  with  the  big  corporation. 
The  suit  came  as  the  result  of  many  complaints  to  the  Ameri- 
can Cigar  Company  by  dealers  from  all  parts  of  the  country 
who  had  answered  advertisements,  offering  large  salaries  to 
salesmen.  The  workings  of  the  firm  had  also  been  brought  to 
the  notice  of  the  Mayor  and  Chief  of  Police  of  Cincinnati. 

The  petition  states  that  the  scheme  employed  by  Shaw  was 
a  grossly  fraudulent  one.  Those  who  answered  the  advertise- 
ments for  salesmen  and  resident  managers  were  obliged  to 
deposit  $0  for  samples.  These  samples  consisted  of  12  boxes, 
each  containing  a  dozen  cigars.  The  understanding  was  that 
the  i^6  would  be  refunded  as  soon  as  the  commissions  amounted 
to  i^20.  There  was  a  "joker"  in  the  contract,  however,  which 
prc»vided  that  if  three  cigars  had  been  taken  from  a  box,  the 
samples  could  not  be  redeemed.  As  it  would  be  impossible  to 
make  a  sale  without  giving  away  some  of  the  cigars,  there  was 
little  chance  for  the  salesman  to  redeem  his  deposit.  Tobacco 
experts  who  examined  the  samples  fixed  their  value  at  about 
Isj.Go. 

Judge  Cochran  took  the  matter  under  advisement  and  a 
preliminary  hearing  of  the  case  will  be  given  in  the  near  fu- 
ture. 

The  work  of  remodeling  the  store  at  the  southwest  corner 
of  I'ifth  and  Walnut  streets,  which  is  to  be  occupied  by  one 
of  the  United  Cigar  stores,  is  well  under  way.  The  new  store 
will  probably  be  in  operation  next  week. 

Oscar  H.  Gassman  has  been  in  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  negotiat- 
ing for  the  purchase  of  a  large  retail  cigar  store  there.  It  is 
.said  that  Mr.  Gassman  is  acting  for  an  Eastern  concern  which 
will  conduct  the  business  if  he  should  be  successful  in  putting 
through  the  deal. 

The  factory  of  W.  W.  Bozman,  which  is  to  be  operated 
in  connection  with  the  store  on  Walnut  street,  was  opened  last 
week.  Clear  Havana  goods  will  be  manufactured  exclusively. 
The  names  of  the  brands  have  as  yet  not  been  announced. 

A  new  small  cigar,  "Peaches  and  Cream,"  has  been  placed 
on  the  market  by  Henry  Straus.  It  is  made  up  in  packages 
of  6  for  10  cents  and  has  been  greeted  favorably  by  Queen  City 
smokers.  Mr.  Straus  has  just  left  town  for  a  short  vacation 
trip  to  Hot  Springs. 

Sam.  Morehead,  who  was  formerly  with  the  American 
Tobacco  Company,  was  in  town  for  a  few  days  last  week.  He 
visited  a  number  of  his  friends  in  the  trade  and  stated  that  he 
may  re-enter  the  tobacco  business. 

J.  H.  Braman  has  joined  the  selling  forces  of  the  J.  S. 
Hill  Company. 

Sam.  Straus,  of  Straus  Bros,  and  Company,  returned  last 
week  from  a  business  trip  to  Havana. 

As  compared  with  February,  1909,  the  United  States 
revenue  report  for  the  First  District  of  Ohio  for  the  month 
just  passed  shows  a  decrease  in  all  lines  of  manufactured  to- 
bacco. The  internal  revenue  collections  from  all  sources  dur- 
ing the  past  month  amounted  to  $220,018.54,  as  compared  with 


.';^J3(>,99<;.44  for  the  same  month  la>t  \ear.     This  is  a  decrease  of

Burley  Tobacco  Reaches  Record  Prices. 

LorisviLi.K,  Ky.,  March  (>th.-  New  lu^h  records  in  the 
Louisville  market  on  the  1909  tobacco  crop  were  reached  yes- 
terday. Not  only  did  both  dark  and  liurley  t»»bacco  .sell  at  new 
high  records,  but  the  highest  average  lor  a  crop  uf  any  size  for 
this  seasiui  was  made.  The  .dVerings  of  tobacco  were  fairly

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Habana,  Cuba,  March  19th,  1910. 

lUSIXESS  in  our  leaf  market  has  shown  a  further  re- 
in (grade  niuveniciit,  which,  huwever,  is  not  abnormal 
at  tiiis  jjcriud  of  the  year,  as  the  season  is  nearing  its 
end,  and  from  now  until  the  new  crop  should  appear 
there  is  usually  a  lessened  demand  from  all  parts  of  the  world. 
Stocks  in  first  hamls  have  decreased  and  still  there  are  enough 
V  egas  of  V  uelta  Abajo  and  Remedios  for  sale,  which  a  careful 
and  discriminating  buyer  could  acquire  upon  advantageous 
terms.  Ui  I'artido  there  is  next  to  nothing  left  in  our  mar- 
ket, but  some  lots  of  Semi-\'uelto  might  prove  acceptable  pur- 
chases. Most  of  our  Spanish  leaf  dealers  are  not  speculators 
and  will  part  with  tlieir  holdings  with  a  slight  margin  of  profit, 
even  if  tbe  present  outlook  for  the  coming  crop  should  warrant 
a  stiffening  ol  their  asking  prices. 

The  task  of  a  prophet  is  usually  a  very  ungrateful  one. 
J  knee  the  best  policy  seems  to  be  not  to  speak  too  positively 
about  Coming  events,  as  there  is  always  the  unknown,  unex- 
pected factor  to  turn  up.  Now  just  this  state  of  affairs  holds 
true  about  the  coming  crop,  the  general  opinion  here  is,  that  the 
same  has  been  injured  severely  by  the  drought  and  some  high 
winds,  therefore  it  should  be  shorter  in  quantity,  and  for  the 
most  part  unsuitable  hi  (juality,  owing  to  its  retarded  planting. 
Rains  now  would  do  no  longer  any  good,  as  the  plants  in  the 
held  are  withered  and  could  not  be  revived;  and  still  some  old 
timers  in  the  cigar  manufacturing  line  have  stated  to  your 
c<jrrespondent,  that  there  is  yet  hojjc  for  an  improvement,  if 
some  showers  should  fall  this  month,  as  such  happenings  have 
occurred  many  years  ago,  and  when  the  spring  rains  did  not 
set  in  before  the  month  of  June.  W  hether,  however,  the  year 
1910  will  prove  an  abnormal  one,  deponent  saith  not. 

That  there  will  be  some  choice  Vegas  in  this  year's  crop 
can  be  safely  asserted,  as  there  has  never  been  a  year  yet, 
when  some  good  tobacco  has  not  been  raised.  The  most  fatal 
year  was  1897,  when  the  whole  X'uelta  Abajo  c^op  would  not 
burn,  except  the  Remates  section  ;  from  this  region  this  year, 
the  rei)orts  are  also  very  favorable.  Ilesides  the  plantations 
which  have  irrigation  systems  can  be  relied  upon  to  pro- 
<luce  good  tobaccos.  Some  light  rains  fell  in  ILivana  on  the 
5th  and  (')th  inst.,  but  they  came  from  the  north  and  did  not 
penetrate  the  tobacco  region  or  the  interior  of  the  island. 

Sales  during  the  past  fortnight  did  not  reach  over  6,195 
bales,  or  according  to  districts :  Vuelto  Abajo,  and  Semi- 
X'uelta,  3.963,  Patirdo.  295.  and  Remedios,  1,937  bales.  Of 
this  ([uantity  Americans  purchased  3.936,  exporters  to  Europe 
1,220,  and  the  local  cigar  and  cigarette  manufacturers  1,039 
bales.  ICxports  of  leaf  tobacco  from  the  port  of  Havana 
from  I'ebruary  26th,  to  March  5th,  1910,  were: 


To  all  ports  of  the  United  States,

The  Demand  for  Light  Colors. 

Havana  cigar  manufacturers  are  undismayed  by  the 
agglommeration  of  unfavorable  conditions,  as  far  as  the  call 
for  light  wrappers  is  concerned,  and  the  apparent  poor  prospect 
of  a  good  crop  this  year.  Business  is  usually  quiet  at  this 
season  of  the  year,  and  still  it  seems,  that  there  is  some  im- 
provement, as  the  exports  for  the  first  half  of  February  indi- 
cate, so  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  we  have  seen  the  worst  of  the 
depression  and  that  we  may  look  forward  for  better  times  in 
the  future.  So  much  has  been  said  and  published  already 
about  the  unwarranted  craze  for  light  colors,  that  by  this 
time,  importers  and  retailers  ought  to  understand  this  question 
thoroughly,  and  not  to  continue  to  ask  for  light  colors  which 
the  last  crop  has  only  produced  in  very  small  quantities  and 
which  are  now  no  longer  to  be  had  for  love  or  money. 

The  following  figures  show  the  exports  of  cigars  from 
Havana  during  1909,  and  1910,  as  per  official  Custom  House 
returns,  viz: 


1910.  1909

Or  a  decrease  this  year  of  4»375'Oo6  Cigars. 
What  the  Factories  are  Doing. 

H,  Upmann  &  Co.,  are  perfectly  satisfied  with  the  present 
demand  for  their  excellent  H.  Upmann  cigars,  as  their  United 
States  and  Canadian  representative,  Charles  Landau,  is  known 
as  a  hustler  who  will  get  the  orders  from  this  part  of  the 
world.  Besides  the  calls  from  Great  Britain,  France,  Germany 
and  South  America  are  good  for  this  season  of  the  year. 

"Sol"  is  doing  a  fair  business  considering  the  period  of 
the  year  and  P»ehrens  &  Co.,  are  never  without  some  good 
high-priced  orders,  and  one  of  them  came  from  Russia.  Max 
Schatz,  their  I'nited  States  representative,  has  had  great  suc- 
cess in  extending  their  field  of  new  customers  all  over  the 
United  States,  owing  to  the  rich  but  mild  quality  of  "Sol"  and 
"Luis  Marx"  brands  of  cigars.  The  "Regie"  countries  in  Eu- 
rof)e  never  forget  to  call  for  and  order  "Sol"  cigars. 

"La  Diligencia"  is  working  under  a  good  headway  in 
the  American  Union  where  a  large  number  of  old  and  new 
customers  swear  by  the  fine  (juality  of  cigars  made  by  Don 
Bernardo  Moreda  and  are  sending  liberal  orders  constantly. 

"Por  Larrafiaga"  is  employing  400  cigar  makers  and  is 
doing  a  rushing  trade  with  American  tourists  who  never  fad 

to  visit  this  factory. 

Although  the  "El  Credito"  factory  is  comparatively  new  m 
the  field  it  has  managed  to  gain  quite  a  foothold  already  m 
the  United  States,  as  its  cigars  are  made  from  the  best  Vegas 
of  the  Vuelta  Abajo.  Smokers  in  the  North  have  not  been  slow 
to  note  this  fact  and  are  calling  for  them  in  ever  mcreasing 
quantities.  They  have  lately  received  a  nice  order  f roni  the 
Philadelphia  Yacht  Club  and  their  trade  in  the  "Quaker  City 

is  on  the  boom. 

"Redcncion"  has  undergone  a  thorough  reorganization, 
since  Don  Marcclino  Perez  (of  Tuval  fame)  and  Ins  son  Don 
Manuel  Perez,  have  acquired  controlling  interest.  It  started 
np  with  a  will  on  Monday  last.  March  7th,  having  a  large 
order  slate  to  clear  off.  Don  Manuel  Carreno  will  remain  as 
president  and  Don  Manuel  Perez  will  look  after  every  detail 
of  the  factory  here,  while  Mercelino  Perez  &  Co.,  of  New  \ork 
will  l)c  the  sole  distributors  in  the  United  States. 
Trade  and  Other  Notes  of  Interest. 

J.  Lawton  Kendrick.  treasurer  of  the  "Top.acco  Wokii).'' 
spent  five  days  in  Havana,  having  arrived  on  Tuesday,  March 
1st  and  leaving  for  New  York  on  the  5th  per  stcamshi])  Sara- 
toga." It  was  his  first  visit  to  Havana,  and  he  was  (luite 
favorably  impressed  with  this  great  city,  and  its  business  pros- 
pects.   While  here,  he  called  on  the  trade  generally. 


Edgar  J.  Stachelberg  was  a  buyer  of  1,000  bales  of  Vuelta 
Abajo  for  the  "Golden  Medal"   factory  at  Tampa. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzales  soKl  501  bales  of  \  uelta  .Xbajo 
to  their  customers.  This  house  still  holds  some  very  choice 
Vegas  and  is  not  asking  too  high  a  figure  for  the  pick  of  the 
crop  left  here. 

Salvador  Rodriguez  made  some  fine  purchases  of  leaf 
for  his  famous  "Charles  the  Great"  factor)'. 

Manuel  Garcia  Pulido  was  a  seller  of  1,000  bales  of 
Vuelta  Abajo. 

B.  Balbin  also  made  good  use  of  his  time  in  accumulating 
(juite  a  number  of  selected  Vegas  from  the  Vuelta  Abajo  for 
his  well  known  "Elisarde"  brand. 

Fernando  Fernandez  y  Hno,  disposed  of  555  bales  of 
Vuelta  Abajo  and  Partido  leaf. 

Thomas  Englehardt  was  a  liberal  buyer  of  fine  Vegas 
for  his  Tampa  factory. 

Antonio  Suarez  closed  out  another  500  bales  of  Vuelta 
Abajo  to  American  customers  of  his. 

Charles  E.  Crawford,  added  a  few  hundretl  bales  to  his 
previous  purchases  before  he  left  for  his  home  on  February 
26th.  The  house  of  Dohan  &  Taitt  is  now  in  a  position  to 
defy  competition. 

Antonio  M.  Calzada  &  Co.,  sold  317  bales  of  Vuelta 
Abajo,  Partidos  and  Remedios  to  their  customers  during  the 

past  fortnight. 

The  stripping  factory  of  Cesario  Casanas,  of  8  Carmen 
street,  was  gutted  by  fire  last  week  and  proved  a  total  loss. 
Several  Tampa  manufacturers  and  some  local  commission 
houses  lost  their  stripped  fillers  and  are  now  trying  to  replace 
them  with  fresh  purchases. 

A  big  fire  started  at  10  o'clock  Sunday  night  at  the 
tobacco  warehouse  of  Aniceto  Gonzales  at  Dragones  90,  near 
Manrique  street,  and  caused  a  loss  estimated  at  Sioo.ooo.  The 
house  was  full  of  bales  of  tobacco,  and  most  of  it  was  damaged 
to   such   an   extent   by   fire   and    water   that    it    is   practically 

valueless.  ,, 

Miguel   G.   Perez  disposed  of  300  bales  of  "Remedios  . 
Emilio  Fernandez,  partner  of  Jose  Suarez  &  Co.,  has  re- 
tired and  leaves  for  Spain  to  live  in  peace,  and  on  the  interest 
of  his  capital  in  his  "Mother  Country". 

B.  Diaz  &  Co.,  closed  out  300  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo  and 

Partido. 

Avelino  Pazos  &  Co.,  sold  200  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo. 

Puente,  Grande  &  Co.,  were  sellers  of  255  bales  of  Vuelta 
Abajo.  Jose  Puente,  the  senior  member  of  the  firm  arrived 
here  (from  his  prolonged  trip  to  Spain  since  last  May)  and 
now  looks  the  picture  of  health.  He  was  pleased  with  the 
business  done  by  this  picture  of  health.  He  was  pleased  with 
business  done  by  his  partners  during  his  absence. 

Planas  &  Co.  closed  out  210  bales  of  Remedios  of  their 

choice  stock.

New  Ruling  on  Cigar  Labels. 

WIII'.N.  several  days  ago.  an  action  was  brought  by  a 
lithographic  firm  against  a  cigar  manufacturer  in 
Pennsylvania  to  recover  on  bills  for  sup])lying  labels 
for  cigar  boxes,  the  (piestion  of  the  rights  of  cigar 
manufacturers  in  the  adoption  of  trade  marks  became  the  all- 
imj)ortant  j)oint  at  issue. 

The  facts  leading  to  the  suit  are  substantially  as  follows: 
Jn  i(K\?  a  cigar  manufacturer  of  New  ^'ork  City  registered 
with  a  certain  tobacci^  trade  publication  a  certain  title  for  a 
brand  of  cigars.  In  1905  a  manufacturing  lith<»graphic  house 
made  and  sold  through  a  salesman  a  certain  quantity  of  la])els 
for  cigar  boxes  of  s()ecial  design,  but  on  wdiicli  was  used  a 
title  diftering  little  if  any  from  the  title  registere<l  two  years 
previous  by  the  New  ^V)rk  cigar  manufacturer  above  men- 
tioned. 

A  year  or  more  later  the  cigar  manufacturer  who  had 
bought  labels  from  the  lithographer,  was  informed  by  the 
New  York  cigar  manufacturer  that  he  had  the  title  registered 
previous  to  the  latter's  adoption  of  it. 

Manufacturer  No.  2  promptly  refused  to  |)ay  for  the 
goods,  alleging  that  the  title  had  been  guaranteed  to  him  by 
the  salesman  from  whom  he  had  bought  the  labels,  and  in  con- 
sequence action  was  brought  against  him  to  recover  the  amount 
of  the  bills  purchased. 

The  case  came  to  trial  .some  days  ago,  and  much  time  was 
consmned  by  lawyers  on  both  sides  in  arguing  their  points. 
The  plaintiff  succeeded  in  convincing  the  Court  that  he  had 
made  out  a  prima  facie  case  against  the  defen<lant  of  a  debt 
due  him. 

The  defense  failed  to  maintain  its  allegations  that  there 
was  an  abscdute  guarantee  of  title,  and  witnesses  on  its  behalf 
were  refused  a  hearing  bv  decision  of  the  Judge,  who  declared 
that  no  alleged  verbal  arrangement  could  supersede  the  written 
contract  which  was  presented,  and  which  did  not  contain  any 
warranty  or  guarantee. 

Testimonv  was.  however,  offered  and  admitted  which  was 
to  the  effect  that  the  defendant  in  the  case  failed  to  demand 
anv  further  substantiation  of  proof  of  the  claim  of  priority  by 
the  New  York  manufacturer  than  his  mere  say  so. 

The  Court  declared  that  the  defendant  should  have  taken 
issue  with  the  New  York  manufacturer  in  order  to  make  him 
conclusivelv  establish  his  claim  of  prior  right,  and  that  if  he 
had  done  so  and  it  was  fully  established  that  the  New  York 
claimant  was  the  rightful  and  sole  owner  of  the  title  involved, 
defendant  might  then  have  sought  recourse,  but  under  the  cir- 
cumstances he  had  been  negligent  and  a  verdict  was  therefore 
given  against  him. 

The  earlv  March  weather  conditions  tip  in  the  Connecticut 
tobacco  regions  were  highly  favorable  for  the  taking  down  of 
tobacc(\  The  live  growers  seized  the  opportunity  f|uickly  and 
the  leaves  were  found  in  good  condition.

Lancaster  Trade  Normal. 

New  Factory  Opens — February  Output  Shows  Gain. 
Interesting  Trade  Notes. 

L.\NC.-\STER,  1\\.,  March  u.  1910. 

Ill-:    output    among    cigar    manufacturer^    during    the 

month  uf  February  showed  a  moderate  gain  over  the 

tigure  for  the  month  of  January.    Present  indications, 

however,  arc  that  the  month  of  March  will  not  make 


so  good  a  showing  unless  the  manufacturers  during  the  last 
of  the  month  should  experience  a  very  rapid  gain,  which, 
while  it  is  not  impossible,  does  not  seem  unlikely.  There  are 
some  salient  reasons  for  believing  that  witlun  a  few  weeks  at 
the  longest  there  will  be  a  change  for  the  better.  This  opinion 
is  arrived  at  by  manufacturers  from  the  fact  that  travelling 
men  now  on  the  road  report  that  general  conditions  in  the 
country  sections  of  the  West  in  i)articular  are  rapidly  getting 
better,  and  that  wholesale  cigar  handlers  seems  to  be  once 
again  more  williug  to  look  at  lines  of  samples  and  some  pre- 
liminary orders  are  resulting. 

'fhe  cigar  productions  of  this  district  during  the  month  of 
lanuarv  anvninted  to  50,169.700.  The  production  during  the 
n'ionth'<.f  February,  k/x).  ^v-i'^  52433'350-  This  w.nihl  «>how 
a  comparative  decrease  over  the  corresponding  period  of  last 
vear,  of  nearlv  two  and  a  half  million.  The  production  of  Jan- 
uan.  i()io.  amounting  to  48.790.725,  showing  a  gain  for  Feb- 
ruary over  that  of  the  first  month  of  the  year  of  nearly  one  and 
a  half  millions.   This,  after  all.  is  a  httle  more  encouraging. 

In  the  drawing  of  jurors  for  the  April  session  oi  both  the 
Common  Pleas  and  the'Ouarter  Sessions  Courts,  several  prom- 
inent tobacco  men  were  drawn.  J.  P>.  Milley.sack.  a  manufac-

dutv  for  \pril  iSth.  and  one  of  his  associates  will  be  Horace 
11  llensel  tobacco  dealer  .»f  Strasberg.  II.  S.  Meiskey,  a  well- 
known  manufacturer  at  Lititz.  was  drawn  for  service  in  the 
Ouarter  Sessions  Court  for  April  i8th.  while  John  1..  l.oug- 
enecker,  t..bacc.>  packer  at  Mount  Joy,  was  drawn  for  duty  in

Fr.\nki()RT.  Ky.,  March  TOth.— The  Kentucky  Legislature

names  of  persons  pooling  tobacco  or  otlier  farm  products,  and 
provides  a  heavv  penaltv  for  any  person  purchasing  or  seeking 
to  purchase  the  crop  of  any  individual  who  has  pooled  that 
crop  with  other  farmers  or  associations.

able.    The  bill   was  introduced    in  the    interests    of    tobacco

Fire  Destroys  Cigar  Box  Factory  at  Red  Lion — Leaf  Dealer  in  Odd 

Lawsuit. 

^'<)l<K,  r.'i..  Marcli  iJth,  19 10. 

A)  I'l  ]•'.]<  a  short  period  of  exceptionally  dull  business, 
(he  ci^'ar  manufacturers  here  have  received  more 
orders  durinj^^  the  past  few  days,  and  they  now  feel 
hopeful  that  this  may  be  the  betiinning  of  a  revival 
ill  the  cij^'ar  trade.  Many  manufacturers  have  considerable 
business  in  the  W  extern  States,  where  the  bad  condition  of 
country  roads  ha>  been  a  serious  menace  to  the  cigar  industry, 
but  now  that  weather  conditions  are  becoming  more  favorable, 
trade  is  improving. 

Leaf  tobacco  dealers,  with  few  exceptions,  have  com- 
jtlained  very  much  that  sales  of  any  moment  were  hard  to 
(oiisummate  at  present,  owing  to  the  depressed  condition  in 
the  cigar  industry.  Some  special  types  of  leaf  have  been 
somewhat  in  demand,  but  purchases  have  been  made  sparingly. 
The  buying  movement  has  seemingly  ceased,  for  the  present. 
I'litil  recently.  rei)resentatives  of  the  American  Cigar  Company 
had  been  operating  in  the  county  to  some  extent  but  they  have 
also  withdrawn  from  the  field. 

(Jiiite  an  important  tobacco  litigation  came  up  in  the 
("••mm" 111  JMeas  Court  of  this  county,  several  days  ago.  It  was 
an  action  brought  by  V.  S.  luiines.  a  leaf  tobacco  man  of 
janesville.  Wisconsin,  against  S.  L.  Johns,  a  leaf  packer  and 
dealer  of  Hanover,  Pa.,  and  who  also  has  a  warehouse  in  this 
city.  In  fact  there  were  two  suits,  the  one  having  been  brought 
against  Mr.  Johns  individually,  and  the  other  against  Mr. 
Johns  and  his  wife,  as  en(l(>rser  on  certain  notes.  The  plain- 
li/T  claimed  that  he  was  the  holder  of  six  notes  aggregating 
Si  1,394.50:  two  of  the  notes  being  signed  by  Mr.  Johns  and 
endorsed  by  Mrs.  Johns,  and  four  of  the  notes  signed  by 
S.  L.  Johns  alone.  .Mr.  Johns  in  his  defense  claimed  that  the 
notes  in  (|uestion  were  given  to  Mr.  P.aines  to  enable  him  to 
raise  moiuy  to  |)ay  for  tobacco  which  he  was  to  buy  and  which 
.Mr.  Johns  ha<l  agreed  to  take  ofT  his  hands.  Testimony  was 
otYered  to  show  tliat  r.aines  had  bought  .S<V).ooo.  worth  of 
tobacco,  and  that  the  money  realizid  on  the  notes  in  rpiestion 
was  use<l  towards  paying  these  purchases  made.  The  plaintiff's 
claim  was  effectually  offset  by  Mr.  Johns  by  the  averment 
that  he  had  received  only  57  cases  of  tobacco  for  which  he 
had  paid  .S50.  each  case,  in  accordance  with  a  written  contract 
between  the  litigating  parties.  He  also  claimed  that  he  never 
received  any  of  the  other  tobacco,  and  that  the  notes  were 
therefore  without  consideration  and  not  collectible.  He- stated 
that  he  was  willing  to  buy  and  pay  for  the  tobacco,  if  Raines 
would  sell  it  to  him.  .\  verdict  was  rendered  in  favor  of  the 
defendant. 

DFSASTRor.s  Fire  .\t  Rf.d  T>ton. 

One  of  the  most  clisastrous  fires  in  Red  Lion  for  many 
years,  occurred  on  Simday  night  last,  when  the  establishment 
of  Miller  IVos.  mamifacturers  of  cigar  boxes  and  cigar  box 
lumber,  was  destroyed,  entailing  a  loss  estimated  at  $50,000. 
The  fire  was  discovered  about  1 T  o'clock  that  night  and  although 
the  local  fire  department  responde<l  promptly,  the  building 
was  soon  doomed,  but  after  a  hard  fight  they  succeded  in 
protecting  the  immediately  surrounding  buildings.  With  the 
exception  of  drying  kiln,  the  plant  is  a  tc^tal  ruin.  The  prem- 
ises were  equipped  with  all  the  latest  machinery  for  the  manu- 
facture of  cigar  !)oxes  and  box  lumber  and  most  of  it  was 
(|uite  expensive,  and  insnrance  of  only  .^^^o.ckx)  was  carried. 
Harvey  K.  Miller,  one  of  the  firm,  states  that  their  loss 
will  be  anywhere  from  ."^8.000  to  Su.ooo.  Thev  will  resume 
business  as  soon  a'?  thev  can  re-install  new  machinery  in  .some 
<  tlier  building.  Several  kind  of^'ers  were  received  by  the  firm 
from  other  box  manufacturers  to  assist  them  in  the  production 
of  cigar  boxes   while   they   were   in   their  crippled   condition. 


and  under  some  special  arrangment  the  firm  will  no  doubt  be 
able  soon  to  supply  their  trade. 

Quite  a  number  of  cigar  manufacturers  of  Red  Lion  are 
seriously  han(licaj)ped  by  the  destruction  of  Miller  Rros.'  box 
factory,  for  in  the  fire  were  consumed  many  thousands  of  ex- 
pensive labels,  also  top  brands,  etc.,  which  it  will  be  necessary 
to  replenish  in  order  to  have  boxes  made  up,  and  may  cause 
d  delay  in  the  shipment  of  goods.  Several  other  bcjx  manu- 
facturers in  the  city  will  also  make  every  effort  to  supply  the 
local  trade  with  boxes  and  in  this  way  help  them  to  make  their 
shipments  as  quickly  as  possible. 

After  a  conference  between  Miller  Rros.  and  the  in- 
surance men,  it  was  almost  definitely  decided  that  the  firm 
would  not  rebuild  on  the  old  cite,  it  being  in  a  very  congested 
section  of  the  town,  and  it  was  thought  highly  desirable  to 
erect  a  new  building  on  the  outskirts  and  in  closer  proximity 
to  the  railroad. 

Tr.xde  News  of  the  York  District. 

A.  S.  Ziegler,  of  Wolf  Bros,  and  Co.,  will  leave  shortly 
upon  another  business  visit  among  the  distributors  of  that 
firm's  product.  This  house  is  steadily  building  up  a  more 
extensive  trade  and  the  recent  introduction  of  several  new 
brands  of  goods  enabling  them  to  procure  some  desirable  new 
accounts. 

D.  A.  Horn,  of  the  Glen  Cigar  Co.,  has  been  on  a  week's 
business  trip  through  Reading  and  vicinity. 

J.  T.  Strayer,  a  local  cigar  manufacturer,  recently  covered 
Baltimore  trade  and  booked  several  encouraging  orders. 

The  cigar  factory  of  W.  If.  Robinson,  at  Dallastown. 
which  has  been  closed  for  some  time,  resumed  operations  last 
week,  but  the  cigar  makers  are  still  limited  in  their  production 
per  day. 

IVfax  Roland,  another  Dallastown  manufacturer,  has  been 
soliciting  orders  in  Baltimore  and  vicinity  during  the  past 
week. 

John  Fidler,  representing  the  Dallastown  factory  of  John 
W.  Minnich  and  Sons,  is  continuing  his  extended  western 
business  trip,  and  when  last  heard  from  was  doing  some 
excellent  work  through  Missouri  and  Nebraska.  It  is  Mr. 
Fidler's  maiden  trip  through  that  territory,  and  he  is  to  be 
congratulated  upon  the  good  results  he  has  obtained. 

E.  S.  Sechrist,  maker  of  the  "Emory  Martin,"  ''Blanch 
Helen,"  and  other  brands  of  cigars  at  Dallastown,  has  lately 
booked  some  substantial  orders  and  a  good  force  of  cigar- 
makers  are  finding  employment  there. 

C.  S.  Snyder,  of  the  Kohler-Snyder  Company,  at 
Yoe.  has  recently  received  some  orders  from  his  representa- 


tives, which  have  had  a  very  encouraging  effect,  and  he  now 
feels  that  there  will  soon  be  a  turn  in  affairs  and  that  the  cigar 
trade  will  revive  steadily. 

A  peculiar  state  of  affairs  exists  at  Craleyville,  where 
about  twenty  tobacco  strippers  employed  by  E.  U.  Shelly,  have 
gone  on  strike  for  an  advance  of  ^  cts.  per  pound  for  stripping 
tobacco.  Several  of  the  Craleyville  manufacturers  seem  to  be 
doing  a  prosperous  business,  and  among  them  is  T.  A.  Winters, 
who  recently  purchased  a  fine  automobile. 

Gutave  Beck,  of  Warren,  Beck  and  Bro.,  proprietors  of 
the  "El  Mundo"  Cigar  Factory,  at  York,  recently  returned 
from  a  business  trip  to  New  York  City.  This  firm  is  special- 
izing on  its  product  of  5  and  10  cent  goods,  and  the  "Billy 
Possum,"  their  latest  creation  in  the  nickel  variety,  is  meeting 
with  much  favor  everywhere. 

Good  forces  are  being  maintained  at  the  several  factories 
of  C.  S.  Gable,  at  York,  and  his  line  of  specialties  seems  to 
be  meeting  with  a  good,  strong  demand. 

H.  F.  Kohler,  of  Nashville,  is  strongly  exploiting  his 
Judge  Shepard  5  cent  cigar,  and  no  available  opportunity 
of  advertising  is  escaping  him.  The  result  is  that  he  is  getting 
some  very  substantial  orders  from  both  and  new  customers. 
During  the  comparatively  few  years  that  Mr.  Kohler  has  been 
located  at  Nashville,  he  has  made  excellent  progress  and  now 
has  the  most  important  factory  in  that  section  of  the  county, 
lie  not  only  believes  in  advertising,  but  what  is  equally  im- 
portant, to  back  up  his  advertising  by  a  meritorious  article,  and 
to  that  fact  he  really  attributes  his  success. 

At  the  Hake  Cigar  Store  on  West  Market  street,  York, 
the  "Luxello"  brand  of  Luckett,  Luchs  and  Lipscomb,  of 
Philadelphia,  is  being  featured.  Electric  displays  and  other 
devices  are  being  used  to  attract  the  attention  of  pedestrians 
who  pass  along  this  prominent  thoroughfare. 

Some  complaint  is  being  heard  among  the  cigar  manu- 
factures at  Hanover  and  McSherrystown,  although  they  are 
not  faring  any  worse  than  manufacturers  at  other  points. 
The  new  firm  of  Boucher  &  Kohler,  who  recently  succeeded 
the  old  estabhshed  factory  of  Jesse  Frysinger,  Jr.,  are  getting 
well  under  way  and  contemplate  a  considerable  expansion  in 
business  during  the  coming  year. 

The  Hanover  factory  of  D.  McG.  Newcomber  is  worthy 
of  special  mention,  as  being  one  of  the  finest  factories  in  the 
city  if  not  in  that  section  of  the  State.  It  presents  a  very 
striking  appearance  in  its  coat  of  vermillion  red,  and  the  in- 
terior being  almost  immaculate.  A  large  variety  of  goods  is 
being  made,  which  are  finding  a  ready  sale  in  many  parts  of 
the  country. 

Charles  E.  Miller,  of  McSherrystown,  left  last  week  upon 
another  extended  business  trip  and  which  will  take  him  as  far 
as  the  Pacific  Coast,  where  he  already  enjoys  an  enviable 
patronage. 


Tweedle-de-Dum  and  Tweedle-de-Dee. 

Some  time  ago  Secretary  of  War  forbade  his  purchasing 
officers  from  buying  products  held  by  the  courts  to  be  illegal 
in  their  creation.  This  hit  the  Tobacco  Trust  and  the  Standard 
Oil  Co.  Later  it  was  found  that  liberal  obedience  to  this  order 
made  trouble  and  the  Attorney  General  ruled  that  the  Govern- 
ment may  buy  Trust  made  articles,  but  must  purchase  at 
second  or  third  hands  and  not  from  the  naughty  Trusts  direct.

Pay  Lewis  &  Brothers  are  doing  well.  The  **E1  Sidelo" 
of  Samuel  Davis  and  Co.,  is  being  featured  at  the  Wells' 
Building  Store.  George  Marsh,  who  has  been  clerk  m  this 
store  for  some  time,  resigned  to  engage  in  advertising  novelty 
business  and  his  place  is  being  filled  by  Harry  Conley  at  one 
time  with  Lederer,  later  with  Leo  Abraham  at  Green  Bay, 
Wise.  The  I'abst  Building  Store  is  featuring  the  '•Savarona"

The  wholesale  business  continues  g(Kxl.  Arocena  and 
King  B.,  Eemandez  and  Bros,  and  many  of  the  smaller  manu- 
facturers report  good  sales. 

At  Madison,  Wise,  Joseph  Mennes  has  purchased  the 
interest  of  his  partner  in  the  Madison  Cigar  Co.  H.  W.

Halverson  &  Bitter  sold  their  frame  warehouse  at  Stough- 
ton  to  the  Stoughton  Warehouse  Association,  composed  of 
members  of  the  American  Society  of  Equity. 

Receiving  is  now  going  on  at  most  of  the  warehouses. 
Growers  seem  more  willing  to  let  go  of  their  holdings  at 
prevailing  prices.  At  Stoughton  over  six  carloads  were  re- 
ceived in  one  day  recently.  Madison  warehouses  are  operating 
with  a  force  of  fully  eight  hundred  hands.

the  (lulle>t   i)en<»d   it   ha^  had   in  snnie  year^  past. 

i  he  hi},'  factory  of  ^ocuni  iJros.  is  working  along  at  a 
moderate  rale  of  <»ulput,  hut  it  i.^  by  no  means  rushed  with 
orders,  altiiougii  several  representative  are  now  on  the  ruad 
and  all  are  securing  business. 

The  factory  of  Utlo  lu.^enlohr  and  Bros,  is  evidently 
well  Idled  with  orders  and  the  linn  contemplates  the  erection 
of  a  lour  story  addition  to  the  building.  A  full  force  of  cigar 
makers  are  employed  now,  and  additional  seating  room  is 
desired. 

J  he  ileck  Cigar  Co.  is  at  present  among  the  busiest 
factories  here,  and  some  heavy  mail  orders  are  C(jming  in. 
I  loth  Messrs.  Charles  Meek,  the  head  of  the  firm,  and  Daniel 
i'leck,  who  represent  the  lirm  in  the  Middle  W  est,  are  sending 
in  orders  steadily. 

John  C  Spat/,  of  J.  d.  .Spatz  and  Co.,  returned  last  week 
from  an  e.\tende<l  trip  among  his  customers  in  the  West,  and 
left  a  few  days  later  for  another  Hying  visit  in  closing  up 
mnnc  important  spring  business  for  his  hrm.  They  are  having 
a  g(Jod  run  on  their  ••Heidelberg"  brand  of  lo  cent  cigars. 

11.  (j.  r.u rky,  <.perating  a  union  factory  at  94O  Cherry 
street,  has  lately  succeeded  in  opening  several  desirable  new- 
accounts  and  which  is  helping  to  keep  his  factory  pretty  well 
supplied  with  orders  at  the  present  time,  lie  now  has  good 
facilities  f<»r  placing  about  lifty  cigarmakers  in  the  main 
worknxjm  of  the  buikling. 

Samuel  1).  Dibert,  of  the  widely  known  cigar  firm  of 
Dibert  Bros.,  is  retiring  entirely  from  the  cigar  business.  The 
industrial  (  igar  Co.  has  taken  possession  of  the  factory 
formerly  occupied  by  Dibert  Bros.,  and  the  building  until 
recently  occupied  by  the  latter  and  which  is  owned  by  Mr. 
.Samuel  I  >.  1  )ibert  is  now  ollered  for  rent. 

Although  it  is  rather  (juiet  with  cigar  manufacturers  at 
present,  there  are  still  some  who  have  confidence  in  the  future 
and  are  making  preparations  for  a  more  active  business. 
Among  these  is  VV.  W.  Stewart  &  Sons,  who  recently  bought 
a  building  at  Green  and  Cedar  streets,  which  is  now  being 
thoroughly  reconstructed  for  their  use.  They  hope  to  be  able 
to  get  possession  of  it  on  April  ist.  Charles  Stewart  of  this 
firm  contemplates  a  trip  through  the  coal  regions  during  the 
early  part  of  next  week. 

The  Kagic  Cigar  Co.,  at  Xewmanstown,  is  taking  a  new 
factory  building  in  that  place,  as  the  business  has  outgrown 
the  present  <|uarters. 

A.  Thalheimer  Manufacturing  Co..  report  that  several  of

City  Grown  Tobacco. 

Historic  old  Richmond,  Va.,  is  boasting  just  now  of  to-

Trade  Not  Very  Brisk  in  Detroit. 

Factories   Busy  But  Retail  Shops  Report  Slump  in  Business. 

Di:iK(jiT,  Mich.,  March  12,  1910. 
ri\l.\(l  fever  has  evidently  affected  the  cigar  and 
tobacco  trades  in  Detroit.  March  has  been  mild- 
tlui^  far  and  forecasts  are  there  will  be  continued 
warm  weather  through  the  month.  Because  of  this, 
dealers  arc  not  as  busy  as  is  usual  for  them  at  this  time  in  the 
)ear.  The  retail  demand  seems  most  affected,  merchants  in 
various  parts  of  the  city,  complaining  about  the  present  and 
holding  out  small  hopes  for  a  brisk  future  trade.  The  asser- 
tions of  prohibitionists  is  causing  some  worry  to  manufacturers 
and  wholesalers,  but  it  is  not  generally  believed  the  trade  will 
be  seriously  hampered  even  in  the  event  of  the  •*drys"  carrying 
a  majority  of  the  counties  in  dispute,  in  the  spring  elections. 

Cigar  factories  in  various  parts  of  the  city  and  State  are 
running  full,  but  this  is  a  usual  occurrence  for  this  time  in  the 
)ear  and  ilealers  are  finding  in  it  no  reason  for  elation.  Whole- 
salers rei)ort  an  average  trade.  One  redeeming  feature  is  that 
money  is  easy. 

Adolpli  Wolgast,  lightweight  champion  of  the  world  by 
reason  of  his  victory  over  ••Battling"  Nelson,  was  a  cigarmaker. 

Wolgast's  parents  hve  in  Cadillac  on  a  farm  purchased  by 
the  ••champion"  from  purses  snared  in  his  early  ring  battles. 
The  father  of  the  tighter  was  a  cigarmaker,  but,  like  many 
others,  he  did  not  save  his  money  while  in  the  trade  and  when 
he  became  to(»  old  for  active  work  he  had  hard  work  making 
ends  meet  until  his  son  and  pride  fohowed  the  pugilistic  course. 
\\  olgast  says  the  cigarmaking  trade  has  lost  its  charms,  so  far 
as  he  is  concerned. 

Local  newspapers  are  giving  prominence  to  the  fact  that 
in  one  Detroit  cigar  factory,  where  1,700  girls  are  employed, 
fire  ilrills  are  unknown.  Jn  explaining  the  apparent  negligence 
of  the  management  one  official  says  there  is  not  a  system 
which  works  successfully  and  until  such  a  plan  is  worked  out 
fire  drills  will  continue  to  be  unknown  in  the  factory. 

The  building  and  stock  of  the  Adler  Cigar  Co.,  in  Bay 
City,  was  damaged  by  tire,  recently.  The  loss  is  covered  by 
insurance. 

The  Sccjtten-Dillon  Co.,  in  Detroit,  is  making  minor 
changes  and  improvements  in  its  factory. 

The  San    1  elmo  Co.,  has  practically  abandoned  plans  for 

starting  a  branch  factory  in  Wyandotte,  a  Detroit  river  suburb. 

The  company  was  offered  an  attractive  proposition  to  locate  in 

the  city  but  after  an  experiment  was  unable  to  secure  sufficient 

help. 

William  Cupj),  an  Ann  Arbor  cigarmaker,  was  arrested, 
recently,  charged  with  assault  and  battery.  It  was  alleged  he 
threatened  to  kill  his  wife. 

Rats  and  matches  brought  into  conjunction  caused  a  fire 
which  destroyed  (Jwen  Schoolcraft's  cigar  factory  and  store  in 
Traverse  City,  recently,  causing  a  loss  placed  at  $4,000.  It 
is  ])artly  covered  by  insurance. 


It  is  quite  remarkable  how  anxious  the  various  States  in 
this  republic  arc  to  have  their  soil  known  as  suited  to  tobacco 
culture.  Florida  just  now  is  offering  her  countless  acres  for 
•'Sumatra"  stock  and  New  Hampshire  lifts  her  rugged  head 
and  says  that  she  can  grow  a  weed  which  will  make  the  smoker 
hold  up  his  foot  as  he  indulges  in  it.  The  Concord  Monitor 
naively  admits,  however,  that  New  Hampshire  manufactures 
more  than  she  raises  and  that  she  consumes  many  times  as 
much  as  both  together. 


The  Erwin  H.  Nadel  Co.  was  incorporated  at  Wilson, 
N.  C,  to  manufacture  cigarettes.  F^our  machines  will  be  put 
in,  each  of  which  will  have  a  daily  capacity  of  125,000  cigar- 
ettes.

Snuff  Boxes  in  the  Senate. 


■— ^IW'O  old  snuff  boxes,  which,  it  seems,  have  been  pre- 
1         served  in  the  U.  S.  Senate  Chamber  since  the  days 
gr^lj     of    Daniel   Webster,   made  trouble   recently   when   it 
^^^     was  ])roposed  to  replace  them  with  new  snuff  boxes. 

In  the  days  when  Thomas  Jefferson  used  to  ride  up  from 
Monticello  and  hitch  his  horse  to  the  White  House  fence,  snuff 
dipping  was  very  common.  Quite  often  the  users  were  care- 
less in  their  methods  and  patches  of  snuff  adorned  the  upper 
lips  and  well  nigh  obstructed  the  nasal  passages.  Within  forty 
years  the  old  habit  of  sniffing  snuff  at  the  nose  has  quite  died 
out  in  this  country,  at  least  visibly,  whatever  may  be  the 
secret  consumption.'  The  immense  cjuantity  made  and  the  big 
profits  divided  by  the  snuff  companies  implies  a  wide  use  of 
snuff,  but  its  use  by  th  edandy  in  costly  snuff  boxes  is  obsolete. 
In   the    Southwest   an    increased    consumption    is    said   to   be 

apparent.  . 

The  St.  Louis  Republic  has  the  following  to  say  on  this 

subject: 

Recognized  as  a  Prophylactic. 

The  medicinal  properties  of  snuff  are  said  to  be  respon- 
sible for  its  reappearance.  Non-professional  medicos  say  it  is 
a  recognized  prophylactic  for  catarrh  in  the  winter  season, 
hay  fever  in  the  summer  season,  and  mixed  with  other  nos- 
trums, it  is  said  to  be  a  valuable  remedy  for  cold  in  the  head 
at  any  time.  Like  the  official  remedy  for  snake  bite,  it  seems 
to  be  a  convenient  article  to  have  on  hand  all  the  time. 

The  approach  of  the  hay-fever  season  produces  an  in- 
creased demand  for  snuff.  Users  say  that  one  ought  to  begin 
using  it  several  weeks  before  an  attack  of  hay-fever  is  ex- 
pected as  the  membranes  of  the  nose  and  throat  should  be- 
come impregnated  with  the  snuff  to  ward  off  the  attack.  They 
do  not  promise  immunity  from  the  disease,  but  declare  that 
its  malignity  is  greatly  lessened  by  the  use  of  the  weed. 

It  is  said  to  be  valuable  for  clearing  the  nostrils  in  cases 
of  catarrh,  and,  when  mixed  with  quinine,  becomes  a  remedy 
for  severe  colds  in  the  head.  Those  who  have  tried  the  latter, 
however,  advise  extreme  caution  to  prevent  the  mixture  from 
L^etting  into  the  mouth  and  throat,  as  the  two  ingredients  will 
impart  a  taste  that  cannot  be  described  in  the  English  language. 


Figures  Not  to  be  Sneezed  At. 

F  anybody  is  sneezing  contemptuously  at  the  American 
Snuff  Co.,  they  should  (luit  forthwith  and  take  a  pinch 
themselves  if  they  can  get  the  stock  low  enough. 

As  proof,  we  have  only  to  refer  to  the  fact  that 
the  American  Snuff  Co.  showed  a  net  income  of  over  $4,ooo.o(X) 
for  1909.  For  the  year  ending  December  31,  1909,  the  income 
account  of  this  company  is  given  as  follows: 

Net  earnings $4,203,653         $  ^29,334

extra  disbursement  to  shareholders. 


Wm.  N.  Fisher,  millionaire  cigar  maker  of  623  Comnion- 
wealth  Ave.,  Boston,  was  married  r,uite  recently  toJVljss  Eliza- 
beth G.  Ranney.  The  wedding  was  a  quiet  one  and  Mr.  Fisher 
has  since  received  many  congratulations.

Qualities  of  Tobacco  Extract. 

OBACCO  extract  has  been  used  in  Germany  for  some 
years,  either  for  re-e.xportation  as  sheep  ilip  or  for 
domestic  use  as  an  ingredient  in  the  preparation  of 
certain  chewing  t(.)baccos.  h'xported  to  Argentina, 
South  Africa  and  Australia  it  is  used  as  sheep  dip.  Lately 
it  has  been  learned  that  an  extract  having  not  less  than  io7o 
of  nicotine  is  a  remarkable  insect  destroyer.  Some  of  the 
tobacco  extract  sent  to  the  large  nursery  ganlens  in  Halslenbad, 
Pinneberg  and  elsewhere  is  saiil  to  destroy  pest  life  with 
splendid  results.  A  solution  of  from  i  to  400  parts  of  water 
sprinkled  over  plants  and  even  on  delicate  blossoms,  chrysan- 
themums, &c.,  destroy  insect  pests  and  the  tlowers  lost  none 

of  their  brilHancy. 

The  outlet  of  tobacco  extract  for  such  purposes  suggests 
an  enormous  market  for  the  tobacco  plant  and  shows  more 
and  more  the  wonderful  sanitary  and  preventive  qualities  at- 
tached to  the  weed. 


Ohio  Leaf    Packers  Banquet. 

Members  of  the  Ohio  Leaf  Tobacco  Packers'  Association 
banqueted  at  the  Phillips  House,  Cincinnati,  Feb.  25th.  Walter 
M.  Brenner  presided  and  Judge  Roland  \V.  Baggott  made  a 
speech  which  tickled  the  growers  immensely.  Wilbur  Kenne<ly 
gave  a  short  talk  on  tol)acco,  as  did  T.  N.  Wilson.  I'.ach  was 
well  saturated  with  humor  and  aroused  applause. 

Alluding  to  the  scarcity  of  giri  workers  in  the  South- 
western factories  Mr.  Wilson  said: 

"Formerly  tobacco  leaf  packers  in  this  section  could  get 
all  the  girls  needed  to  work  at  the  tables,  and  those  giris 
would  do  their  work  properly.  But  lately  a  spirit  of  unrest 
seemed  to  have  taken  possession,  and  girls  who  could  make 
$7  and  $8  a  week  working  tobacco  were  content  to  leave  the 
work  and  engage  with  soap  factories  and  other  concerns  at 
less  wages.  I  think  there  was  some  other  reason  for  this 
than  dissatisfaction  with  the  high  standard  of  work  re(iuired, 
rightfully,  by  the  employer  in  tobacco  houses. 

Fifty  per  cent,  of  the  tobacco  grown  here  is  exported  ami 
the  rest  goes  into  cheap  cigars.  The  standard  filler  is  grown 
here,  with  proper  care,  and  it  measures  up  with  Pennsylvania. 
By  careful  manipulation  we  can  maintain  the  high  standard, 
but  to  do  so  we  must  overcome  petty  jealousy  and  educate 

our  labor.  . 

In  Pennsylvania  the  farmers  are  re(|uired  to  sort  tlie 
tobacco,  because  no  manipulation  is  allowed  in  the  warehouse. 

We  made  Ohio  famous  years  ago  and  we  must  get  back 
to  those  early  and  worthy  principles.  We  should  maintain 
the  high  standard  establisiied  by  our  predecessors. 

President  Wm.  Stroop,  of  the  American  Cigar  Co.,  spoke 
frankly  of  his  company  as  being  subsidiary  to  the  American 
Tobacco  Co.  It  was  his  desire,  he  said,  to  maintain  the  purity 
of  the  three  great  tvpes  of  tf>bacco  gn.wn  in  the  Miami  region. 
He  also  said  that  he  was  against  introducing  the  Burley  grades 
in  Ohio  because  the  best  domestic  filler  known  grows  there. 
He  deprecated  any  mixing  with  the  Buriey  ideas  and  was 
proud  of  the  Ohio  grades. 

As  was  remarked  in  our  last  issue  and  as  is  being  remarked 
by  the  whole  American  press,  seemingly,  last  year  was  a 
billion  dollar  year  in  tobacco  and  manufactures  of  tobacco; 
that  is  to  say  a  billion  dollars  worth  of  weed  passed  in  and  out 

of  our  ports.  ,  .  . 

Eben  little  Porto  Rico  sent  in  here  in  1909  cigars  and 
tobacco  worth  5)4  millions  of  dollars.  We  sent  out  over 
$41,000,000  worth  to  various  parts  of  the  worid. 


America  went  to  war  with  England  on  account  of  the 
Stamp  Act  What  will  the  poor  little  PhilliiM)UH>  Islands  do 
if  her  cigar  label  is  stamped  out  of  existence  by  Uncle  Sam?

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


\m 


In  the  Baltimore  Market. 
Cigar  Manufacturers  Fighting  Sale  of  Goods  by  Peddlers. 

Baltimore,  AId.,  March  7th. 

\\ .  fJ.XJZ  ik  CO.,  S.  Ciiarlcb  street,  had  a  very  good 
January  trade  and  report  February  some  better  in 
tile  leaf  market.  Sunie  say  that  busines  is  quiet,  but 
it  has  been  very  well  witli  them.  Many  of  the  trade 
are  interested  in  the  new  I'enn^ylvania  njuS  and  the  1908  Zim- 
mer  and  Si>anish.  All  the  new  lillers  are  higher  than  the  old 
and  selling  freely. 

The  American  Tobacco  Co.  have  leased  frum  the  Cantun 
Co.  the  old  furniture  factc^ry  on  Lakewood  avenue  near  Hud- 
son street.  It  will  be  used  a?,  one  <»f  the  manufactories  of  the 
company  in  addition  to  the  plants  already  in  existence. 

'Ihe  Colindo  Cigar  Co.,  M.  lingleman,  proprietor,  who 
were  burned  out  at  112  S.  Eden  street,  are  now  established  in 
new  (juarters  at  709  E.  Lombard  street.  A  full  force  of  nine- 
teen hands  are  at  work  and  more  will  be  put  on.  They  are  put- 
ting out  120,000  cigars  a  month.  Their  brands  are  Honest  Dave, 
Silencia  and  Tolindo.  'ihey  report  business  as  picking  up  and 
one  of  their  salesmen  will  take  in  the  Western  territory. 

L.  Michaelson  &  iJro.,  cigar  manufacturers,  have  moved 
their  factory,  warehouse  and  salesrooms  from  3  South  llolliday 
street  to  South  and  I'ratt  streets,  a  4-story  building,  where  the 
lactory  ha.^  been  enlarged  and  the  output  is  increasing  daily. 
Tlie  La  Li.sa  cigars  especially  will  show  a  big  increase  in  the  out- 
put this  year.  A  store  has  als(j  been  opened  on  the  ground  tloor. 
L.  Michaelson,  of  the  linn,  has  just  returned  from  a  Southern 
trip  and  says  business  exceeded  his  expectations  and  cigars  are 
selling  readily. 

J.  L.  Aubrey  &  Co.,  508  E.  Lombard  street,  leaf  tobacco 
jobbers,  report  a  very  moderate  business. 

Elliott,  CJtteidieimer  &  hllliott,  say  their  factory  is  work- 
ing on  full  force  and  have  all  they  can  do  to  get  out  orders. 
They  are  pushing  the  sale  of  Eagle  Chief,  a  5-cent  cigar,  which 
is  having  a  big  success.  This  brand  is  selling  particularly  well 
through  the  West. 

An  obnoxious  feature  of  the  trade  here  which  the  cigar 
manufacturers  are  lighting,  is  that  a  number  of  men  are  going 
around  the  city  from  ot'tice  to  office  and  house  to  house,  selling 
cigars  by  the  box.  i'hat  is  hurting  the  store  trade  considerably, 
also.  These  men  have  no  rent  to  pay  or  other  expenses  and 
hurt  the  legitimate  cigar  trade.  This  is  carried  on  here  more 
than  in  any  other  city  in  the  country. 

M.  Kemjjer  &  Sons,  of  East  Lombard  street,  jobbing  leaf 
tobacco,  say  their  pack  of  1908  Pennsylvania  is  moving  along 
nicely  and  trade  is  opening  up  fairly  good.  Have  a  good  pack 
at  Lewisburg,  Ohi(^  and  Mountville,  Pa.,  the  prices  are  normal 
and  no  changes,  the  people  will  not  pay  a  higher  price.  The 
following  new  salesmen  have  been  put  on:  W.  D.  Sabin.  for 
iVnnsylvania  and  New  York  State;  J.  D.  Carroll  goes  to  Den- 
ver, Colorado,  and  L.  Kemper  at  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

A.  l^'ader  says  that  business  in  cigar  manufacturing  lines 
has  been  very  fair  for  February.  A  full  force  is  working  and 
the  growth  of  the  business  is  steady.  He  is  banding  the  Foder 
cigar  at  5  cents,  which  is  having  a  very  strong  sale. 

j«»hn  P..  Adt,  who  makes  tobacco  machinery,  says  he  is 
fnuling  the  export  business  very  good  in  all  parts  of  the  world, 
particularly  South  America.  Africa  and  the  Orient. 

William  T.  I'.arker.  32^  W.  IVatt  street,  formerly  with  R. 
Starr  iS:  Co..  until  they  sold  out  to  the  American  Snuff  Co., 
has  started  in  business  for  himself  as  an  independent  snuff 
manufacturer.  He  has  built  up  a  good  business,  which  is  con- 
stantly increasing.  This  is  the  only  snuff  factory  now  in  Mary- 
land. 

Sam  R.  Boyd  is  a  new  city  salesman  for  M.  Kemper  &  Son 
<»f  11    ]'"..  Lombard  street. 


K.  B.  Gibson,  formerly  of  the  tirm  of  Gibson  &  Aubrey, 
here,  leaf  tobacco,  has  now  gone  on  the  road  for  J.  Vetterlein 
&  Co.,  of  Philadelphia,  covering  New  York  State.  When  there 
are  any  orders  Gibson  sees  them  ahead. 

W'ertheimer  Bros.,  cigar  manufacturers,  are  pushing  their 
llullhead  and  Ellsworth  brands  and  the  salesmen  are  out  send- 
ing in  good  returns.  Sam  W  ertheimer  has  gone  to  the  Tar 
West  and  Ike  W'ertheimer  to  the  Middle  West.  .\  good 
year  is  reported  for  i[}0(j  and  is  starting  in  good 
for  this  year.  Goods  are  sold  in  almost  every  State  in 
the  country.  A  large  addition  has  been  built  to  the  factory 
which  has  allowed  an  increase  in  the  output.  Also  a  large 
humidor  has  been  built  for  storing  leaf  tobacco  and  they 
already  have  (Jiie  for  cigars  made  up. 

Mr.  Paris,  the  proi)rietor  of  the  .Manchester  Cigar  Co., 
Howard  street,  has  returned  fnuii  a  trip  to  Philadelphia  and  is 
very  much  enccjuraged  over  the  outlook  for  1910.  They  have 
been  compelled  to  work  overtime  to  fill  orders  and  will  put  on 
two  new  salesmen.  The  "Match  It"  cheroots,  the  "Havana 
Cadets"  and  the  "Empire  Whiffs"  are  big  money  makers.

A   New  York   Educator  on  Tobacco  Combines. 

In  accordance  with  the  policy  of  The  Tobacco  World  to 
always  give  both  sides  a  chance  in  its  columns,  we  append  here- 
with some  remarks  by  J.  French  Johnson,  Dean  of  the  New 
York  University  School  of  Commerce.  In  an  after-dinner 
speech  in  New  York,  l*\'b.  27th,  Dean  Johnson  said: 

"The  decisions  of  the  lower  courts  against  the  tobacco  and 
Standard  Oil  trusts  were  based  on  technicalities.  Neither  trust 
has  been  guilty  of  obnoxious  practices  usually  thought  of  as 
monopolistic.  The  co-called  'crime'  of  which  the  lower  courts 
have  declared  the.se  two  trusts  guilty  has  undoubtedly  been 
committed  by  many  hundred  corporations  throughout  the  coun- 
try which  are  inconspicuously  transacting  a  business  universally 
regarded  as  perfectly  legitimate. 

"If  the  Supreme  Court  tnids  against  them  all  the  capitalistic 
combinations  of  the  country,  large  and  small,  which  are  engaged 
in  interstate  business,  must  dissolve  or  accept  the  hazard  of 
litigation. 

"Under  these  circumstances  it  is  most  surprising  that 
President  Taft  should  calmly  assume  that  the  anti-tnist  act, 
a  law  hastily  framed  to  appease  an  angry  and  ignorant  public 
sentiment,  is  a  mode  cither  of  justice  or  expediency.  If  the 
Sherman  act  cannot  kill  monopoly  except  by  virtue  of  a  techni- 
cality that  would  destroy  all  large  scale  production,  then  it  is 
the  law,  rather  than  business  methods,  that  must  be  reformed." 


York  County  a  Sufferer  by  the  Suit. 

The  American  Tobacco  Co.  naturally  hesitates  to  buy  big 
just  now.  One  result  is  that  some  4,000,000  lbs.  of  un.sold 
tobacco  is  reported  in  and  around  York,  Pa.  The  agents  of  the 
big  company  are  generally  around  and  eager  to  buy,  but  this 
spring  it  is  "Not  just  no,w". 


The  Black  TTorse  Tobacco  Co.,  gained  its  suit  against  the 
Louisville  &  Nashville  R.  R.  before  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission,  which  has  ordered  reparation  to  be  paid  be- 
cause the  minimum  weights  imposed  by  the  defendants  upon 
shipments  of  leaf  tobacco  in  hogsheads  from  Kentucky  anri 
Tennessee  points  to  Mexico  were  found  to  be  unreasonable. 
Several  points  of  interest  to  shippers  were  itemized  in  the 
decision  by  the  commission.

Manila  Cigars  Glut  the  Frisco  Market. 
Many  Dealers   Overloaded  With  Stock  of  Filipino  Cigars. 

San  Francisco,  Mar.  7. 

IHI^^RE  is  still  a  gt)od  deal  of  complaint  among  the  San 
Francisco  retailers,  and  jobbers  are  by  no  means  satis- 
fied with  the  volume  of  local  cigar  business,  but  there 
is,  nevertheless,  some  improvement  to  be  reported. 
February,  though  a  short  month,  showed  larger  transactions 
than  January,  and  March  has  opened  with  a  week  of  fine 
weather,  stimulating  retail  sales  and  leading  many  of  the 
smaller  dealers  to  take  on  more  stock  than  they  had  been  car- 
rving.  High-grade  goods  are  in  rather  better  demand,  and 
dealers  who  feature  imported  goods  and  the  finer  domestic 
lines  report  a  noticeable  improvement  in  the  box  business. 

The  Manila  cigar  business  is  causing  some  dissatisfaction 
in  all  departments  of  the  trade  at  present.  The  large  quanti- 
ties placed  on  the  Coast  market  have  caused  a  material  decrease 
in  sales  of  the  lower  priced  domestic  lines  for  some  time,  but 
the  Manilas  have  until  recently  been  fjuite  profitable  to  those 
who  handled  them  in  either  a  retail  or  a  wholesale  way.  Many 
local  retailers  and  jobbers,  however,  loaded  up  with  these  goods 
to  a  greater  extent  than  conditions  warranted,  and  are  now 
making  considerable  effort  to  unload,  resulting  in  great  irreg- 
ularity in  prices,  which  in  turn  disgusts  the  consumer.  The 
local  demand  has  fallen  off,  and  while  outside  towns  arc  still 
sending  in  liberal  orders,  some  of  the  jobbers  state  that  the 
goods  are  not  selling  as  fast  as  they  should.  One  cause  of  this 
condition  is  the  manner  in  which  many  local  dealers  entered  the 
business,  buying  up  odd  lots  of  goods,  many  of  which  were 
not  well  suited  to  this  market,  and  bringing  in  a  good  deal  of 
trashy  stock  which  is  hard  to  move. 

The  Manila  factories  have  been  very  much  upset  by  the 
American  business,  which  they  were  not  prepared  to  handle, 
but  they  are  now  getting  down  to  a  good  working  basis,  pre- 
paring to  put  out  standard  brands  and  sizes  suitable  for  the 
American  trade.  They  are  also  finding  a  reasonable  level  of 
prices,  realizing  that  cheapness  is  the  chief  recommendation  of 
their  product,  and  that  excessive  prices  will  cut  off  the  demand 
quicker  than  anvthing  else.  Arrivals  of  Manila  goods  were 
comparatively  light  last  month,  and  the  steamer  arriving  this 
week  also  brought  a  light  shipment,  but  a  large  lot  is  due  about 
the  middle  of  the  month,  three  and  a  half  million  being  for 
Castle  Bros.-Wolf  &  Sons,  with  smaller  quantities  for  other 
local  and  Eastern  jobbers. 

W.  H.  Wolf,  of  Castle  Bros.-Wolf  &  Sons,  has  not  yet 
returned  from  his  Eastern  trip,  but  is  expected  within  a  few 
days.  This  house  has  been  able  to  dispose  of  its  Manda  ship- 
ments almost  as  fast  as  thev  arrived,  the  proportion  of  Eastern 
business  being  steadilv  on  the  increase.  For  the  last  two  weeks 
shipments  to  the  East  have  been  particulariy  heavy,  owing  to  a 
large  number  of  orders  taken  by  Mr.  Wolf  from  jobbers  m  that 
territory. 

Edward  Wolf,  of  the  Edw.  Wolf  Company,  is  still  in  the 
East  and  mav  remain  there  for  a  week  or  two  longer,  as  he  has 
met  with  great  success  in  marketing  his  Manila  lines  and  still 
has  considerable  of  this  stock  to  dispose  of. 

Milton  Esberg,  of  M.  A.  Gunst  &  Co..  has  just  returned 
from  a  long  visit  to  the  Philippines,  where  he  arranged  for  a 
supply  of  these  goods  for  his  company.  The  brand  to  be 
handled  is  the  'Tsabella",  and  a  small  lot  has  just  arrived  for 
use  in  the  companv's  retail  stores.  The  company  expects  a 
shipment  of  350,000  later  in  the  month,  and  will  probably  offer 
them  to  the  trade  after  that.  Several  of  the  company's  outside 
managers  are  in  town  this  week.  M.  A.  Gunst  &  Co.'s  5-cent 
leader.  "The  Owl"  cigar,  has  been  holding  its  own  since  the 
first  of  the  vear,  and  as  it  is  an  old  favorite  here  its  sale  will 
probably  not  be  seriously  interfered  with  by  the  Manila  bus- 
iness. 


L.  A.  Sawyer,  Coast  agent  for  P.  San  Martin  &  Co..  ami 
factory  representative  for  "Las  Dos  Xaciones"  Mexican  cigars, 
is  giving  a  great  deal  of  his  attention  to  the  trade  in  the  interit^r 
at  present,  as  the  re>ults  there  are  relatively  better  than  in  liie 
city.  Sales  of  his  lines  have  been  picking  up  for  the  last  month, 
and  he  considers  the  outlook  good  for  the  spring  months.

A.  Straus,  who  has  been  known  to  the  Coast  trade  for 
many  years,  has  taken  up  the  Coast  agency  for  the  Pinzon  fac- 
tory, with  quarters  at  Polk  and  Market  streets. 

E.  C.  Berriman.  of  Berriman  Bros.,  was  in  the  city  this 
week  on  his  way  north,  where  lie  will  spend  a  week  or  two  call- 
ing on  the  trade,  finishing  in  Southern  California.  T.  C.  W'.xmI.

Turkish  Tobacco  Invades  Mexico. 

What  is  stated  to  be  the  first  large  -shipment  of  raw 
Turkish  tobacco  ever  brought  into  Mexico  reached  Vera  Cruz 
eariy  this  month.  The  tobacco  was  consigned  to  the  J.  G. 
Veramendi  v  Cia.  owners  of  the  Cigarrera  Fgipoia.  a  concern 
lately  bought  bv  Mr.  Veramendi  and  his  associates  from  the 
Cia  Cigarerra  Egipcia.  of  which  A.  H.  Houry  was  the  former 
proprietor.  Other  small  Turkish  shipments  have  been  brought 
to  Mexico,  but  nothing  large. 

The  Mexico  Record  says  that  Mexico  produces  as  much 
tobacco  as  anv  countrv  in  the  worid  and  exports  to  all  coun- 
tries Enterprise,  however,  demands  that  they  bring  m 
Turkish  gomls  to  mix  with  their  own.  Mr.  Wramendi  is  an 
old  resident  of  the  Citv  of  Mexico  and  has  ju^t  taken  over  thr 
fine  stores  at  Aveni<la  San  Francisco  No.  30.  Here  he  intends 
to  conduct  a  large  and  progressive  tobacco  emporium.

The  in.irkrt  loiiditioiis  duriiif^'  the  past  fortniKlit  have  been  un- 
satisfaitory  and  a  vtry  iiiaitivc  hiisincss  was  the  rule  with  a  niajority 
of  the  Uaf  tnhacTo  houses.  Within  the  last  few  days  there  were 
some  si^ns  «>f  an  iinprovenunt,  hut  purchases  arc  of  a  small  nature 
and  certainly  not  of  a  speculative  character,  which  usually  is  reflected 
in  purchases  of  much  larger  volumes  of  goods.  Some  hindrances 
have  also  heen  experienced  in  the  shipment  of  goods  owing  to  labor 
ditlicidtic's  anionj^  railro.ids.  especially  in  the  Western  States.  It  even 
sirms  that  strikes  are  not  the  only  troubles  that  the  railroads  are 
havinv,'  lately,  for  until  (piite  recently  storms  have  caused  land  slides 
in  iIh  more  mountainou^  section'^  which  liave  impeded  trathc  to  some 
extent  thus  elTtctiiiK  the  delivery  of  j^oods  in  transit. 

The  general  c(»nditions  in  the  cigar  industry  were  not  favorable 
to  a  really  large  leaf  business  so  far  this  year,  and  while  the  output 
has  kt  pt  up  fairly  well,  manufacturers  ai)pear  to  have  great  hesitancy

usually dull  during  the  pa.st  two  weeks,  and  is  just  now  beginning  to 
sh<»w  some  signs  of  a  revival.  The  new  year  started  in  well  enough 
brt  it  did  not  keep  uj)  very  well  according  to  present  reports.  The 
strike  situation  tlid  not  have  a  great  deal  to  do  with  the  leaf  market, 
and  comparatively  few  of  the  local  cigar  manufacturers  have  been 
affected  by  it.  Mamifacturrs  generally  are  ineeting  with  a  fair 
business,  but  are  apparently  not  exceeding  their  actual  needs  in  the 
proem  re-denishmetu  of  stm'ks  of  raw  material.  Local  packing  houses 
now  ha\r  tbiir  warelutuses  in  the  packing  districts  in  operation  in 
packing  i(;lo  cro|»s.  but  their  purchases  are  being  niade  with  special 
care  tliis  year  for  the  selections  of  only  the  most  desirable  crops. 

There  are  practically  no  changes  in  the  comlitioti  of  the  Havana 
market  ami  importers  re|)ort  that  sales  are  of  moclerate  proportoins 
and  in<ptiries  running  strong   for  certain  types  of  leaf. 

Tin-  .Sumatra  market  has  not  developed  any  umisual  activity,  and 
purchases  made  have  been  in  small  lots  only,  evidently  required  for 
inunerliate  use.  Local  dealers  are  anxiously  awaiting  further  informa- 
tion f>f  the  new  goods  now   being  sold  in  Amsterdam  by  Inscription. 

Lancaster. 
There  seems  to  have  been  a  slump  in  the  inquiries  for  old  goods 
receiMly  an<l  it  is  also  n(»ted  that  very  few  out-of-town  buyers  have 
been  in  this  market  lately.  Leaf  packers  are  therefore  turning  their 
attention  entirely  to  the  new  goods  and  considerable  quantities  of 
the  IQ09  crops  have  now  been  contracted  for.  It  is  estimated  by 
conservative  members  of  the  trade  that  probably  50%  of  the  new 
uoods  have  Inen  purchased  from  the  farmers.  The  prices  which  are 
being  offered  at  |)resent  are.  hr)wever.  considerably  less  than  what 
was  being  paid  during  the  earlier  part  of  the  season.  We  have  it  on 
good  authority  that  as  low  as  6  cents  a  lb.  has  been  offered  and  ac- 
cepted for  certain  crops  and  it  was  probably  only  exceptionally  few 
crops  lately  purchased,  for  which  as  much  as  8  cents  has  been  paid. 
When  it  is  recalled  that  last  b'nll  there  were  some  nurcbases  made 
at  ij  and  14  cents,  the  cro|)s  must  have  been  extraordinarily  fine  and 
of  which  there  coidd  only  have  been  a  very  few.  b'armers  seem  to 
be  reconciling  themselves  to  the  lower  prices  and  not  much  difficulty 
is  being  experienced  in  attempting  to  make  purchases  at  the  later 
"•t-'.ts  .IS  above  mentioned.  The  great  bulk  of  the  iQtx)  crop  has 
now  been  stripped  and  buyers  arc  being  awaited  by  a  number  of 
t.;r  ner>  wlo  li.ive  not  yet  sold.  F.ven  at  the  comparatively  low  figures 
'•••III;  offered  there  does  not  appear  to  be  any  general  activity 
.,..-,„  ,.  |...|,-i.-,  -<  *ft  Ijf'v  the  crops.  At  nearly  all  the  Lancaster  packing 
'.'•me  crops  have  been  received  and  are  now  tmdergoing  the 
packing  process. 

York. 
The  loc.d   tiackers  of  this   vicinity  do  not   seem   stiecially  eager  to 
m.ike    nurcbases    of    the    new    crons.    potwithstandine    ih-\\    prices    bavi^ 
receded    very   inaterially.     Considerable   quantities   of  the   new   goods 


were  bought  and   shipped  earlier  in   the  season    from   various   points 
in  the  county,  but  there  is  no  activity  at  the  jiresent  time. 

There  is  being  comparatively  little  business  done  in  old  goods, 
for  the  cigar  industry  is  really  very  dull  and  manufacturers  show  no 
inclination  to  lay  in  more  stock  than  will  be  needed  in  the  near  future 
and  although  prices  are  admittedly  moderate,  they  are  not  sufficiently 
low  to  tempt  manufacturers  to  make  speculative  purchases. 


New  England 

Hartford. 

Considerable  quantities  of  tobacco  have  been  purchased  during 
the  past  two  weeeks  and  nearly  all  the  crops  in  this  vicinity  have 
been  taken  from  the  poles.  The  i>rice>  received  by  growers  lately 
were  not  as  high  as  were  offered  to  them  when  the  buying  movment 
first  began.  While  12  cents  has  been  paid  as  a  late  top  notch  figure, 
there  were  also  many  lots  bought  as  low  as  9  cents.  Of  course,  not 
all  farmers  will  sell  at  this  price  and  some  few  are  still  threatening  to 
pack  their  own  tobacco  unless  they  receive  a  higher  price  for  it.  The 
few  buyers  who  have  been  in  the  field  lately  have  been  making  i)ur- 
chascs  rather  sparingly. 

St'FFiKLD.  Conn. 

Some  of  the  farmers  in  this  section  are  still  receiving  fair  prices 
for  their  crops,  which  vary  from  10  to  i^  cents  ;i  pound.  .\  great  deal 
of  dissatisfaction  has  arisen  from  the  fact  that  farmers  are  not  re- 
ceiving anywhere  near  a  uniform  prici.  but  then  it  shoidd  be  r<niem- 
bered  that  not  all  crops  are  alike,  even  though  grown  in  the  same 
immediate  vicinity  and  having  about  the  same  soil,  for  fertilization  ;in<l 
cultivation  has  much  to  do  with  it  and  no  two  farmers  work  just 
alike  and  the  market  ability  of  the  crops  <lepends  nmch  u|>on  the  care 
in  cultivation  and  handling. 

North  H.xtfik.ld.  Mass. 

Nearly  every  day  there  is  a  movement  of  some  tobacco  of  the 
new  crop,  although  it  seems  that  recently  there  have  not  been  any 
purchases  made  in  this  section  of  the  State.  Warehouses  seem  to  be 
in  active  operation  and  as  rapidly  as  sweat imr  ro«»ms  are  empticfl  of 
one  lot  of  goods  they  are  almost  immediately  refilled. 

Hatfield,  Mass. 
At  prices  ranging  from  11  to  13  cents,  the  new  crops  of  tobacco 
are  passing  quite  steadily  into  the  hands  of  packers  and  delivery  of 
the  new  crops  by  farmers  to  the  various  warehouses  has  been  pro- 
gressing rather  steadily  and  it  is  believed  that  ere  long  the  crops  will 
have  been  all  received. 

TTazardville,  Conn. 

A  fairly  good  average  price  is  reported  to  have  been  received  by 
tobacco  growers  in  this  section  of  the  State  and  a  majority  of  the 
crons  have  been  disposed  of  by  the  farmers.  There  is  still  some  little 
buying  to  be  done,  but  warehouse  representatives  recently  passing 
through  here  seemed  to  have  made  only  limited  purchases. 


Wisconsin. 

Edgerton. 

Tobacco  growers  who  have  been  holding  their  crops  for  higher 
prices  are  now  apparently  willing  to  make  concessions,  but  still  buvers 
do  not  .seem  anxious  to  take  up  any  more  crops  at  prices  asked  by 
farmers.  Those  growers  who  are  willing  to  accept  the  prices  now 
generallv  prevailing,  and  which  have  been  set  bv  packers,  would  have 
little  difficulty  in  finding  buyers,  and  it  is  said  that  in  lower  Dane 
County  there  has  been  a  cosiderablc  acreage  bought  up  within  the 
last  two  weeks. 

Seven  cents  is  about  the  general  figure  and  there  is  not  much 
deviation  from  this  for  the  wrapper  grades  but  the  prices  for  the  filler 
leaf  varies  somewhat. 

Tn  old  tobaccos  the  market  has  been  very  quiet,  and  shipments 
have  fallen  off  very  much.  New  tobaccos  are  being  received  at  the  ware- 
houses and  handled  as  rapidly  as  can  be. 


Ohio. 

MlAMISBURG. 

The  stripping  of  the  tqoq  crops  is  now  pretty  well  completed,  and 
deliveries  to  warehouses  are  becoming  more  general,  although  the 
buying  movement  is  no  longer  so  active,  becau.se  the  prices  demanded 
by  farmers  were  not  regarded  as  inviting  to  take  the  goods.  Ten 
cents  is  a  little  too  high  for  the  local  packers  and  consequently  they 
are  passing  the  crops  by  when  these  figures  are  demanded.  Local 
farmers  are  beginning  to'obscrve  that  the  farmers  in  the  northern  end 
of  the  State  are  selling  their  crops  more  readily  than  they  are  in  this 
vicinity  and  it  it  causing  them  some  uneasiness.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 

tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  ypur 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  "^ electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ?

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 

tobacco  trade. 
Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  'electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ? 


Send  for  advertising  rates.

Plans  to  Redeem  Old  Revenue     Stamps. 

Commissioner    Cabell    Tells  Taxpayers    How     to    Make     Exchanges 

Under    New  Law. 

Washinciion,  March  30. 

C""^().\IMi.SSlC)XI':K  of  Internal  Revenue  Royal  l*:. 
^^  Cabell  to-day  announced  that  the  new  series  ot  cigar, 
cigarette,  tobacco  and  snutt"  >tanips,  made  necessary 
by  the  change  in  the  rate  of  internal  icvenue  tax  ini- 


@ 


posed  under  the  new  tariff  act,  tiie  provisions  of  which  relative 
to  the  articles  mentioned  gt)  int(j  effect  on  July  i  next,  are 
ready  for  distribution  to  the  collector.s.  These  new  stamps  of 
all  denominations  can  be  had  for  sale  on  and  after  July  i,  or 
prior  to  that  date  if  called  for. 

The  commissioner  states  that  ina^nuich  as  the  tariff  act 
made  no  change  in  the  rate  of  tax  on  cigars  weighing  nu>re 
than  three  poun<ls  per  thousand,  and  the  present  tax  on  which 
is  .S3  per  thousand,  collectors  will  be  jjermilted  to  is^ue  the 
current  series  of  this  class  of  stamps  until  their  i)resent  sup- 
plies are  exhausted.  Taxpayers,  also,  having  the^e  stamps  on 
hand,  are  empowered  to  use  them  after  July  i  and  until  >uch 
time  as  their  sui)plies  shall  have  been  con>unuMl. 

Manufacturers  also  are  empowered,  according  to  this  rul- 
ing of  the  conmiissioner,  t(j  attach  these  new  ^tamps  to  pack- 
ages prior  to  July  i,  and  in  advance  of  the  removal  of  pack- 
ages so  stamped  from  the  factory,  so  that  no  delay  to  business 
of  manufacturers  need  be  encountered  in  preparing  packages

Hearing  on  Anti-cupon  Bill. 

W  .\si!iN(iri».\,  Marcli  31.  lutUpendent  manufacturers  of 
the  c<»untry  will,  in  the  near  future,  have  a  hearing  before  the 
Ways  and  .Means  Committee  on  the  bill  iutroduceil  by  Repre- 
sentative Tawney,  of  Minnesota,  and  prohibiting  the  giving  of 
coupons  with  cigars  and  cigarettes.  The  date  tor  the  hearing 
has  not  been  set,  but  .\lr.  Tawney  is  actively  at  work  in  the 
interest  of  the  measure,  and  ho[)es  to  have  the  committee  ar- 
range to  hear  the  arguments  of  the  independent  men  in  favor 
of  the  bill  within  the  next  week  or  two. 

The  bill  as  now  before  the  Ways  and  .Means  Committee 
has  been  passed  twice  by  the  I  louse,  but  each  time  has  been 
rejected  by  the  Senate.  According  to  Mr.  Tawney.  sentiment 
towanl  the  measure  has  changed  greatly  recently,  and  he  is 
sanguine  of  its  passage  at  the  present  sessi«>n. 

This  bill  is  more  drastic  in  its  provisions  than  the  clause 
tliat  was  inserted  in  the  rayne-.Mdrich  tariff  bill  and  became 
law  with  the  passage  of  that  measure.  It  prohibits  the  pack- 
aging of  redeemable  coupons  of  any  character  whatever  with 
cigars  and  cigarettes  no  matter  what  the  brand  might  be.  rhe 
main  purpose  of  the  bill  is  to  prevent  the  use  of  the  internal 
revenue  laws  of  the  country  as  a  medium  for  the  furtherance 
of  a  gift  enterprise.

1 .,  (Uri.h-  with  liuni  wa.s  to  act,  and  so  tlie  hig  six-story 
factory  on  (anal  street.  New  \ork,  has  been  idle  now  for 
twelve-  111- •mils,  and  since  then  Kegeiisburg  cigars  have  been 
a  product  >>\    1  ampn. 

Monday,  March  J.Stli,  of  this  year  mark:,  anollier  indeli- 
ble p<»inl  in  the  comi)any's  history,  for  on  thai  date  their  new 
factory  in  lampa.  located  on  Michigan  avenue,  ijlh  and  l8th 
streets,  was  formally  occupied,  and  that  they  have  reasons  to  be 
pruud  of  it  is  putting  it  modestly. 

'riii>  new  j.lant  of  l..  Kegeiisburg  c\:  Sons  is  the  largest 
clear  Havana  cigar  lactory  in  the  world,  and  is  etpiipped 
throughout  with  every  modern  factory  improvement  and  up- 
to-date  facility.  Think  of  a  cigarmakers  tloor  with  a  seating 
capacity  for  i.(XJ<)  nun.  not  a  jjost  in  it,  light  streaming  in  from 
all  sides,  giving  the  needed  ventilation  for  proi)er  workman- 
shij),  and  y<»u  have  a  suggestion  of  the  scale  on  which  the  en- 
tire structure  was  planned  and  has  been  erected. 

The  main  facade  of  the  building  is  on  17th  street,  and 
at  the  corner  of  Michigan  avenue  stands  an  ornamental  clock 
tower  containing  a    1  .ixxj-poun<l  striking  bell;  in  the  tower  is 


al>o  a  gravitv  tank,  and  underneath  this  a  pressure  tank,  the 
latter  to  be  uied  in  the  operati.ni  of  a  sprinkler  system  through- 
out the  buil.ling  if  necessity  should  arise. 

(  )n  the  hrsl  or  main  tloor  are  located  the  counting  rooms, 
general  and  i)rivate  offices,  with  a  fireproof  vault  and  private 
hath  and  toilet  rooms.  This  private  bathroom  is  equipped 
with  a  lu.xurious  bath  and  shower  and  all  other  fixtures  com- 
plete, which  are  so  essential  to  comfort  in  a  hot  climate. 

in  the  rear  of  the  main  tl(jor  is  located  the  stock  room,  80 
feet  long,  the  walls  and  ceiling  of  which  are  constructed  with 
an  inner  and  outer  sheathing  nailed  on  studs,  the  spaces  be- 
tween being  filled  in  solid  with  .sand ;  the  lloor  is  of  similar  con- 
struction with  brick  paving  on  the  top  and  finished  with  ce- 
ment; the  walls  and  ceilings  in  this  room  are  lined  with  zmc, 
and  all  sash  in  this  room  are  arranged  for  double  glass,  so  th:i^ 
the  tenii)erature  can  be  perfectly  controlled.  On  this  fioor  abso 
are  the  men's  and  women's  «lressing  rooms,  as  well  as  the  ship- 
ping, packing  and  labeling  departments.  In  the  packing  de- 
partment are  pn.vi<led  handsome  cedar-lined  cigar  cabinets  ft.r 
storing  loose  stock. 

The  basement  of  the  factory  is  devoted  to  the  bale,  stor- 
age and  casing  rooms.  Here  the  raw  material  is  received,  in- 
spected and  thence  carried  by  electric  elevator  (this,  by  the 
way,  being  probably  the  first  of  its  kind  in  Tampa),  up  to  the 
third  or  top  floor,  where  is  situated  the  t(»bacco  floor  for  pre- 
paring, drying  and  conditioning  raw  material  for  work.  A  re- 
serve filler  room  is  also  provided  on  the  floor.  Zinc-lined 
chutes  carry  the  material  from  this  floor  down  to  the  di.strib- 
uting  counter  on   the   second   floor,   which   is   devoted   to  the

cigarmakers'   tables   and   sorting  platform.     This   is   the   flot)r 
which  will  seat  1,000  cigarmakers. 

We  take  pleasure  in  presenting  herewith  a  si)leudid  pho- 
t  graph  t»f  the  exterior  of  this  superb  additi(»n  to  the  colony 
of  Timpa  cigar  factories.  The  buikling  is  2SX  feet  long  by  50 
feet  width  average,  with  a  frontage  of  90  feet,  with  brick 
walls  and  wood  joists  and  flooring;  the  outside  is  faced  with 
red  brick,  and  the  ornamental  front  porch  with  its  copper  roof 
lends  dignity  to  the  entrance.  The  main  wing  of  the  building 
iv  tile  roofed  and  the  building  proper  is  covered  with  slag.  'The 
entire  structure  at  the  top  is  finishetl  with  an  ornate  cornice. 

In  connection  with  the  sprinkler  system,  before  mentioned, 
an  artesian  well  has  been  bored  to  guarantee  a  i)lentiful  supply 
of  water  for  the  pressure  tank,  and  this  is  supplied  by  an  elec- 
tric pump.  Two  fire  lines  are  provided  on  the  outside  of  the 
buiMing  with  hose,  nozzles  and  valves  on  each  floor  and  roof, 
t x'^ether  with  a  Siamese  connection  at  grade  for  steam  fire  en- 
nine  connection,  so  it  can  be  seen  that  the  protection  against  hre 
i-  as  perfect  as  modern  ingenuity  can  suggest. 

The  lighting  of  the  factory  is  arranged  fc^r  the  utilization 
of  both  gas  and  electricity,  and  a  complete  interior  telei)hone 
-ervice  has  been  in-tailed  connecting  all  floors  and  departments 
with  a  central  station  in  the  general  office. 

.Messrs.  1'..  kegeiisburg  cK:  Sons  extend  a  cordial  invitation 
to  all  members  of  the  trade  and  their  friends  when  visiting 
Tampa  to  call  and  make  a  personal  inspection  of  the  plant,  and 
any  availing  themselves  of  this  may  always  be  assured  of  a 
roval  welcome.  ( )ne  line  of  electric  cars  runs  ctirectly  from  the 
center  of  the  city  to  the  factory  doors. 

'The  planning  and  construction  of  this  splendid  building 
reflects  credit  on  no  single  individual  of  this  fine  old  house, 
but  is  the  result  of  careful  study  by  each  member  of  the  firm, 
suggesting,  eliminating,  but  always  with  the  single  purpose  of 
providing  a  factory  for  the  production  of  cigars  which  would 
Ik-  worthv  of  their  name. 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  state  that  while  some  member? 
of  the  firm  will  always  be  in  Tampa,  keeping  personal  control 
of  the  manufacturing  end.  the  main  offices  of  the  house  remain 
as  heretofore  at  164-168  Canal  street,  New  York  City

Change  in  Berriman  Agency. 

\  important  change  in  the  distributing  agency  for  the 
.\o ft h western  territory  was  recently  made  by  r.erri- 
man  liros.,  of  .\ew  York  and  Chicago,  makers  of  the 
*"b'se    \'illa"    and    other    brands    of    clear    Havana

tion  and  feels  confident  that  a  very  large  increase  in  the  sales 
of  tlu-e  goods  can  be  made.  The  goods  were  first  introduced 
into  that  section  several  vears  ago.  and  they  were  then  being 
distributed  bv  Campbell  &  Evans,  but  Mr.  Campbell  of  that 
firm  subse(|uentlv  sold  his  holdings  to  Mr.  Evans  and  soon  after 
became  a  partner  in  the  Campbell-Lakin  Scgar  Co..  and  re- 
tained the  agency  until  this  time. 


THEODOR    GARBADE 
Managing  Director  H.   Upmann   Factory.   Habana 


|g 


.M  T.  1\  I (.  A  .\  !*^  ami  others  who  have  the  pleasure  of  vis- 
iting at  the  great  factory  of  11.  rpmanii  \  Co..  at 
Havana,  are  fortunate  indeed  if  they  should  fall  into 
the  hosi)ital)le  hands  of  Mr.  'Theotlttr  ( iarbatle.  wln)  is 


the  managing  director. 

Mr.  Ciarbaile  is  a  native  of  (iermany,  in  which  country  he 
was  early  instille<l  with  the  splendid  commercial  principles  s«) 
prevalent  in  the  h'atherland,  but  he  has  resided  in  Havana  for 
some  sixteen  or  more  years  and  understands  the  manufacture 
and  condition  of  the  cigar  industry  as  do  few  men  of  his  years. 

The  house  of  H.  rpmanii  \-  Co.  are,  primarily,  a  great 
banking  institution,  and  their  banking  house  down  town,  in  Ha- 
vana, is  probably  the  finest  building  of  its  kind  in  Cuba.  In 
addition  to  their  magnificiMit  main  factory  tluy  also  operate 
two  other  smaller  factories  on  the  outskirts  of  Havana. 

Cpmann  cigars  have  never  been  known  as  cheap  cigars, 
but  they  have  always  been  known  as  go<»ds  of  the  finest  (|ual- 
ity.  The  agency  for  the  house  of  Upmann  in  the  Lnited 
.States  and  Canada  is  held  by  Chas.  Landau,  whose  oflices  in 
Xew  York  are  located  at  82  Wall  street,  and  under  .Mr.  Lan- 
dau's management  the  goods  hold  to-day  a  pre-eminent  posi- 
tion in  the  esteem  of  .American  consumer^;  and  dealers. 


Cigar  Lid    Holders   Universally  Used. 

That  cigar  dealers  appreciate  novelties  which  add  to  the 
convenience  of  transacting  business  is  demonstrated  by  the 
tremendous  success  which  has  greete<l  the  Ideal  cigar  li«l  hold- 
ers. .Mthough  these  holders  have  been  on  the  market  a  com- 
parativelv  short  time,  they  can  be  found  to-day  in  many  stores, 
not  only  of  this  country,  but  in  many   foreign   lands. 

.Among  the  recent  orders  obtained  by  Mr.  J.  l\'ldniaii.  the 
manufacturer,  was  one  from  Salmon  <S:  (iluck^tein.  one  of  the 
largest  retail  cigar  stores  in  England.  An<:ther  order  comes 
from  Panama  and  a  more  recent  re(|uest  for  the  Ideal  h.»lders 
has  been  booked  fr<im  Alaska. 

There  are  many  advantages  enibo«lied  in  the  Ideal  holder 
which  are  certainlv  distinctive.  Thev  not  onlv  provide  for  the 
holding  of  the  lid  of  the  cigar  box  at  any  angle,  but  also  nfT(.rd 
space  for  the  displav  of  t)rice  tickets,  and  the  Ix.x  may  be 
close<l  without  removing  the  holder.

Tom  Allen's  New  Ideas  Perfected. 


#^1^1  IK  ).\1.\.S  ALLIC.V,  vice-president  of  the  North  .\mer- 
1  ican   Tobacco  C\)mpany,  at   Newark,   N.  J.,  is  now 

placing  upon  the  market  several  new  l)rands  of  pack- 
ages of  goods  which  are  iuii(|uely  packed  according 
to  the  ".Mien"  way.  A  leader  is  being  made  of  the  "Cuban 
Sticks,"  which  are  put  up  in  a  blue  and  white  package,  retailing 
at  nine  for  fifteen  cents.  Lucky  Evans'  "IMantation  Rolls"  are 
put  u])  in  a  red  and  white  package,  and  calculated  to  retail  at 
si.\  for  ten  cents.  "Teddy  Sticks"  are  put  up  in  a  green  and 
black  package,  retailing  at  fifteen  cents.  *' Porto  Rico  Sticks" 
are  put  up  in  a  blue  and  black  package,  and  retail  at  three  for 
five  cents.  All  of  the  i)ackages  offered  by  the  North  American 
Tobacco  Comi)any  are  held  together  by  a  simple  yet  ingenious 
device  and  for  which  an  api)lication  for  patent  is  now  pend- 
ing, having  all  been  designed  by  Mr.  .'Mien. 

In  each  of  the  above  packages  the  individual  cigars  aie 
wrapt  in  oiled  i>aper,  and  by  means  of  the  shades  of  the 
])aper  thev  are  designated  "mild,"  "medium"  and  "strong," 
according  to  the  color  of  the  i)aper  which  shows  at  the  end  of 
the  package.  The  goods  have  been  shown  to  some  of  tbe 
lander  distributing  houses  in  the  East,  and  have  attracted  much 
attention. 

Mr.  Allen  is  now  contemplating  a  business  trip  to  more 
distatit  points, 


Death  of  William  Jenkinson. 

I'ittsburgh  lost  iMie  of  its  most  honored  and  i)rominent 
luamifacturers  in  the  death,  at  liis  home,  of  William  Jenkin- 
son, founder  of  the  R.  &  W.  Jenkinson  Company,  who  died 
suddenly  on  the  27th  ult..  after  a  brief  illness.  The  deceased 
was  a  native  of  l^ngland,  having  been  born  in  Kendall  on  June 
^o,  icS^S.  He  was  therefore  /2  years  old  at  the  time  of  his 
ilcath.  His  parents  emigrated  to  the  Cnited  States  when  he 
was  but  three  years  old.  and  uf^on  the  death  »)f  his  fath.er, 
which  occurred  at  the  early  age  of  ten.  he  secured  employment 
in  the  old  tobacco  house  of  W.  &  D.  Rinehart.  of  Pittsburgh. 

When  a  mere  lad,  together  with  his  brother  Richard,  he 
founded  the  tobacco  business  of  the  R.  &•  \V.  Jenkinson  Com- 
pany, and  its  growth  from  its  inception  has  been  contiinious 
and  profitable.  It  was  quite  natural  that  he  should  enter  the 
tobacco  business,  coming  as  he  did  from  Kendall,  which  is 
the  great  snufT  manufacturing  town  of  England.  Since  iSqo. 
when  the  company  was  incorporated.  William  Jenkinson  has 
been  but  slightly  interested  in  tobacco  affairs. 'his  nephew, 
Alexander  ^T.  Jenkinson.  being  the  present  head  of  the  house 

he  fotmded. 

ATr.  Jenkinson  accutiiulated  a  largo  forttuie  and  was  rated 
one  of  the  heaviest  real  estate  holders  in  Pittsburgh's  fashiona- 
ble suburb.  P.ellevue,  where  he  had  lived  for  over  a  quarter  of 
a  centurv  previous  to  his  death.  Jle  was  president  of  the  J^elle- 
vue  Realtv.  Savings  and  Trust  Company  and  a  director  of  the 
P.ellevue  Coimtry  Club. 

The  deceased  is  survived  bv  a  widow  an<l  four  children.

There  is  much  evidence  of  satisfactory  progress  being 
made  in  the  exploitation  of  the  "Euxello"  five-cent  cigar,  made 
bv  Euckctt,  Euchs  &  Eipscomb.  Tn  fact,  the  manufacturers  feel 
satisfied  that  this  brand  has  made  more  rapid  gains  in  this  citv 
than  anv  brand  that  has  been  placed  on  the  market  in  recent 
vears.  It  is  now  just  six  months  since  the  firm  began  busmess 
operations,  and  each  month  has  shown  a  verv  encouraging  in- 
crease in  the  volume  of  business.  Mr.  J.uckett.  of  the  firm, 
recently  returned  from  the  New  England  States,  where  some 
very  desirable  new  accounts  were  opened. 


A  Cork  Tipping  Machine  Worth  While. 


A 


ki:i'RI".Si:\  r A  ri\  1-    .-i    tlu-    Wokm)   who  ealU-d    at 
ill.     lactorv   oi"    the    .Mentor   C"t.in|)an\    in    r.ostou   the 


llaiJi^y 


oilu'r  day  had  the  opp  trtunits  of  iiispictmii  a  ma- 
chiiu'  for  cork-tipping  cigarettes,  which  excelled  in  it^ 
operation  anv  other  similar  device  which  he  'lad  ever  exam- 
ined. 

This  machine,  which  was  invented  b\  James  \.  r/ibides. 
and  is  controlled  by  the  inventor  and  1".  J.  Costello.  seems  to 
have  eiitirelv  solved  the  perplexing  probUtn  of  mechanically 
cork-tipping  a  cigarette.  Primarily  the  device  does  the  work 
si)eedily  and  yet  handles  the  cigarettes  without  «lamaging  them. 

The  cigarettes  are  \ci\  im'»  the  machine  over  cyliiKlers, 
and  the  entire  drop  of  the  goods  from  the  \i\(\  trough  t<»  the 
finished  box  does  not  exceed  two  feet.  The  arrangements  are 
so  skilfullv  provided  that  the  cigarettes  are  handled  practically 
without  vibr.ition.  and  tlie  shaking  out  of  tob.icco.  so  ctimmou 
in  most  similar  devices,  is  entirely  eliminated.  While  the  ma- 
chine was  in  operation  and  had  cork-tipped  over  5.(kx)  cigar- 
ettes at  a  speed  <»f  more  than  140  per  minute,  the  writer  ol»- 
served  that  there  had  not  been  enough  tobacco  shaken  from  the 
5.000  cigarettes  to  n>ll  half  a  new  one. 

The  principal  feeding  cylinder  of  the  device  can  be  s, ,  ar- 
ranged that  cigarettes  can  be  h.indled  from  both  sides,  and 
under  these  c«^n<litious  it  is  possible  to  tip  _'8o  cigarettes  per 
minute,  oiilv  one  operative  being  needed. 

The  ••  White  Heather  "   Brand. 

A.  T..  Cuesta.  of  Cucsta.  Rev  v'l-  ("»•..  is  a  man  of  high 
ideals.  I'or  several  years  he  has  had  in  his  mind  the  produc- 
tion b\  his  firm  of  a  citrar  which  would  meet  the  snpfrlative 
standard  of  the  "trulv  Spanish  factory."  and  the  firm  believe 
that  thev  have  reache<l  this  \u  the  new  "White  I  leather"  grade, 
which  thev  are  now  marketing. 

"White  Heathers"  are  manufactured  in  a  special  annex  to 
the  Cuesta  Rev  factory,  in  Tampa,  which  was  constructed 
solely  for  the  purpose  of  producing  thc^e  goods.  The  leaf  en- 
tering into  this  product  is  entirely  segregated  from  that  used  in 
all  other  brands.  Separate  sorting,  maiuifacturing  and  packing 
(luarters  arc  provided  for  "White  T leathers."  and  the  goods 
must,  perforce,  be  seen  to  be  appreciated.  Soiue  idea  of  the 
character  of  the  goods  mav  be  obtained  from  an  inspection  of 
the  exouisitely  artistic  label  adopted  by  the  house,  a  reproduc- 
tion of  which  is  given  herewith.  The  characteristic  sprav  of 
the  delicate  white  heather,  flanked  bv  the  coat  <if  arms  on  either 
side  and  worked  out  in  the  finest  example^  of  lithocrraphic  art. 
are  svmbolical  of  the  finality  of  the  goods  contained  in  the 
boxes  (Ml  which  it  appears.

rile  matter  of  L^eneral  expense  .  .r  sundry  expense  is  one 
that  needs  earefnl  serntini/ini^  at  all  tinus.  for  it  has  proven 
a  pitfall  to  many  a  one  who  was  apparently  endowed  with 
the  virtiU's  of  >uccess.  h'xpense  items  cannot  he  too  minntely 
divi.led.  for  tlu-  fnier  the  di\isiMn  tlu-  easier  a  waste  of  money 
lan  he  deteeted. 

The  tohaeet.nist  who  has  and  keeps  at  his  hand  a  properly 
prepared  statement  nf  hoth  receipts  and  expenses  is  indeed  in 
an  enviahli-  position,  ami  alth(»n.i;h  he  may  not  seem  to  he 
dt.in*:  mreh.  and  apparently  does  not  worry  nnless  some- 
tliin.t,'  i,^oi-s  wTon?;.  he  does  sIk.w  hi-  trainin.1;  and  ahility  to 
mend   hreaks  and   to  streii.ntlu'ninj.^   weak   places. 

An  analysis  of  the  source's  of  income  into  divisions  sfmie- 
what  similar  to  the  atialysis  of  (he  expense  account  will  en- 
alile  him  to  c(.me  to  a  proper  determination  <»f  correctinj^^  any 
errors  that  may  have  crept  into  his  husiness.  It  is  not  nec- 
essary to  worrv  ahout  items  <d'  expense  which  show  a  minus 
nor  ahout  those  items  of  receipts  which  show  a  plus.  With 
a  nicelv  divided  sheet  of  hoth  expenses  and  receipts,  one 
can  (juickly  <letermine  where  tlu-  profit  is  comini::  from  and 
when-  till'  leak  af)pears.  If  an  expense  item  shows  plus,  yen 
can  run  down  that  item  and  see  reasons  f<»r  it.  and  then  en- 
dea\..r  to  reduce  the  expense.  If  a  receipt  item  shows  minus, 
you  can  run  down  that  item  and  endeavor  t<.  increase  tlie 
receipt. 

Ihe  retail  dealer's  real  success  comes  to  him  in  the  shape 
..f  prolils  at  the  tnd  of  the  year:  that  is,  the  amount  of  money 
he  has  made.  It  is  often  easier  to  increase  i)rotits  hy  cuttin.u 
the  expenses  than  it  is  to  increase  profits  hy  endeavorini,^  to 
increase  sales. 

Extremes  may  carry  thiuj^'s  t(M»  far.  an«l  the  retail  <lealer 
nuist  not  cut  the  expenses  hey«»nd  the  i)oint  where  it  is  seri-

X'incent  Marrino.  a  storekeeper  at  N(-»nautum,  ^lass.,  was 
fim-d  Si  5  last  month  I'or  sellinj,^  ci.^arettes  to  a  minor.  Mar- 
rino pleaded  -iiilty.  pai.l  the  fine  and  testified  that  he  was  not 
aware  of  the  existence  of  such  a  law. 


Don't  Worry  Your  Customers. 

Tl  1^  hoys  hehind  the  counter  are  prohahly  hec<tminj^ 
well-nij^h  tired  of  the  constant  advise  which  is  heing 
;4iven,  vet  there  is  one  suhject  that  has  occurred  to 
tile  writer,  and  which  he  wishes  to  dilate  upon.  It 
is  not  always  that  advice  tendered  was  hase<l  upon  actual  ex- 
perience, or  upon  a  dosc-ranj^e  ohservation  and  study  of  the 
suhject   treated  upon. 

Xot  lon^'  aj.jo  advice  was  «,dven  hy  one  (►f  those  theorists, 
who  claimed  tliat  the  modern  way  <d'  <loini(  husiness  de- 
manded that  the  man  hehind  the  counter  shouM  teach  his 
customers  to  huy  more  rapidly,  and  that  a  <'ustomer  should 
alwavs  he  disposed  of  in  tlic  shortest  p!)ssihle  time,  and  with 
no  unnecessary  conversation  uiK)n  the  part  of  Hie  clerk. 

The  same  person  went  on  to  ingeniously  fii.jure  out  that 
if  the  clerk  saved  from  thirty  to  ninety  seconds  on  each  cus- 
tonur  waited  upon,  it  would  amount  to  somethinj.,^  like  two 
hours  of  time  in  each  day.  and  an  entire  <lay  in  each  week  and 
almost  two  months  out  of  each  year.  The  theorist  attemi)ted 
to  jx.int  out  that  this  time  mij:,dit  he  employed  hy  he  clerk 
in  waitinjT^  upon  a  larp^c  numher  of  additional  customers,  and 
in  that  way  increase  the  volume  of  his  sales  durini;  the  year 
to  the  extent  of  (juite  a   few  hundred   <lollars. 

Theories  arc  well  enoujih.  hut  nnless  they  can  he  re- 
duced to  practicahility  they  are  of  little  consecmence,  and  we 
helieve  one  would  l)e  safe  in  venturin<;  the  o])inion  that  if 
the  averaj.(e  cij^i^ar  store  clerk  attempted  to  rush  his  customers 
in  the  manner  ahove  descrihcd.  he  would  find  lon^  hefore  the 
end  of  one  year  that  he  had  l<>st  far  more  than  he  had  ^^'lined. 

The  estahlishmcnt  caterin«(  to  the  hetter  class  of  patrons 
will  not  tolerate  havinj^  customers  hurried  and  rushed  when 
selecting,'  their  i^oods,  and  the  clerk  who  attempts  to  liandle 
them  so  ahruptly  would  he  very  likely  to  find,  only  after  it 
was  too  late,  that  they  had  transferred  their  patrona.ire  to 
another  store  where  .c^reater  consideration  is  extended  them. 

.X.^ain,  the  hetter  class  of  customers  who  huy  the  finer 
j:,'ra(les  of  cigars,  cijii^arettcs.  j)ii)es  or  sniokinj;  mixtures,  find 
a  certain  amount  of  pleasure  in  the  transaction,  and  ordinarily 
they  like  to  j^o  ahout  it  in  a  leisurely  sort  of  a  way.  so  that 
the  clerk  who  expects  to  f;ain  and  hold  their  trade  must  neces- 
sanly  he  tactful  and  accustomed  to  diplomatic  usaj::es.  or  in 
other  words,  he  must  please  them  throu.u;h  his  personality 
as  well  as  with  the  quality  of  j^oods  that  he  may  sell  them. 

lu'cn  with  the  less  important  customers  a  clerk  cannot 
well  afford  to  he  overzcalous  in  his  eflforts  to  dispose  of  them 
at  a  hii,di  rate,  and  if  he  does  he  is  almost  certain  to  overlook 
manv  an  opportunitv  for  interesting:  them  in  new  jroods.  or 
of  persuading'  them' to  huy  a  hox  of  cigars  when  they  had 
dropi)ed   in   to  merely  huy  a  c|uartcr's   worth    for  inime<liate 

needs. 

There  is.  of  course,  such  a  thing  as  a  clerk  hehind  a  cigar 
counter  actuallv  wasting  time  in  handling  ci.stomers,  hut  if 
he  does  so,  it  i«'more  likelv  that  he  is  doing  it  hccause  he  is  not 
a  good  clerk.  The  right  sort  of  a  clerk  will  never  unduly 
hurrv  a  customer,  nor  will  he  seek  to  detain  them  needlessly, 
nor  longer  than  it  is  really  necessary  for  the  hest  interests  of 
the  store. 

Two  more  cigar  stands  will  he  opened  in  Scranton,  Pa.,  hy 
the  United  Cigar  Stores  Company,  one  at  Penn  avenue  and 
Spruce  street,  and  the  other  at  Lackawanna  and  Washington 
streets.

follows  on  the  suhject  of  the  increase  of  husiness 
for  the  retailer. 

"It  is  your  duty  to  make  people  feel  like  coming 
])ack  to  huy  hecause  that  is  the  only  way  husiness  can  he  in- 
creased. The  store  is  hound  to  lose  customers  occasionally 
for  a  numher  of  reasons,  hut  it  should  he  rememhered  that 
steady  customers  are  the  only  ones  that  pay  profits.  Steady 
means  that  they  keep  'coming  hack'  to  you  again  and  again, 
hecausc  they  like  your  store,  your  goods,  your  prices  and 
vou. 

"Schemes  which  get  a  per.son's  money  hy  some  trick  never 
last  long.  Many  a  man  has  tried  something  oi  the  kin«l,  and 
lost  all  his  money,  hecause  people  who  were  fooled  vnice 
wouldn't  'hite'  again. 

"The  higgest  merchandise  husiness  in  the  world  would  fail

1  Q  J  pii.i^c  in  the  registration  buhiiKv,^.  Jii  the  past  two 
1^^  week.^  there  have  been  at  lea^t  ten  apiilicatioub  in  our 
™'™'  office  for  the  registrati«jn  of  the  word  "Chanticler" 
Hi.  a  label  for  cigars,  ike.  The  name  was  snapped  up  way  back 
in  1894  and  is  owned  to-day  by  the  American  Cigar  Company, 
.so  that  our  friends  who  have  been  attracted  by  the  phenome- 
nal success  of  the  Rostand  play  in  I'aris  can  save  themselves 
any  worriment  as  far  as  the  use  of  this  particular  brand  is  con- 
cerne<l,  as  applied  to  cigars. 

Jncidentally,  "Chanticler"  is  being  extensively  used  for  the 
a<lvertising  of  hats,  neckties  and  various  other  commodities  in 
which  the  crowing  (lualities  of  the  rooster  may  be  aptly^apphed. 

The  play  by  this  name  pnned  one  of  the  few  sensations 
that  jaded  Parisians  have  received  in  years  and  the  appearance 
.,f  favorite  for)tlight  artists  garbed  as  roosters,  chickens,  ducks 
and  (Aher  barnyard  proteges  created  a  tremendous  sensation. 

It  is  odd  how  that  chap  Rostand  catches  the  popular  fancy 
with  his  unusual  genius.

Paul  C.  Call,  an  lndianai).>li^  tobacco  merchant,  if  all  ac- 
counts be  true,  is  the  monumental  scoundrel  of  his  city  and 
State  According  to  published  accounts.  Call  became  cogni- 
zant of  certain  things  in  the  i.rivate  life  of  Max  Emmerich  a 
bookkeeper  in  the  Capital  National  liank  of  that  city.  Call  de- 
posited in  this  bank  and  overdrawing  his  account  $3,000,  in- 
duced Emmerich  to  cover  it  ui).  lie  then  (»n  various  pretexts 
secured  through  Emmuich  1^40,000  oi  the  banks  funds.  Dis- 
covered and  tried  for  embezzlement,  ICmmerich  was  sentenced 
to  the  Leavenworth  Penitentiary.  Then  came  Calls  turn. 
Summoned  before  Judge  Anderson  in  the  bYMeral  Court,  the 

Judge  said  to  him: 

"You  have  perjured  yourself  and  are  more  guilty  than 
iMumerich,  who  pleaded  guilty  here.  The  depth  of  your  infamy 
is  greater  than  I  ever  before  have  seen.  Having  some  hold  over 
j'nimerich  because  of  s<mietliing  you  knew  about  his  private 
life  you  forced  him  to  commit  his  crime.  1  .sentence  you  to 
five  years  in  the  federal  prison  at  Leavenworth."  Ca  1  collapsed 
and  fell  to  the  floor  and  had  to  be  almost  carried  from  the 
amri  room.  The  general  opinion  is  that  he  got  m)  more  than  is 
his  due. 


Sin()king  in  cou 


v....rt  is  talxH.ed  evervwhere,  but  1  read  of 
an  incidenrthe  ^other  day  wherein  an  Iowa  judge  not  only 
countenance<l  smoking  by  lawyers  pleading  be  Ore  bun  but 
actuallv  encouraged  them  to  enjoy  it.  A  milhoiwlollar  suit  was 
,>n  trial  before  judge  .Mcllenry  at  Des  .\b»mes,  Iowa,  last  week; 
the  law  vers  and  their  distinguished  clients  weic  m  court  many 
l.Mig  hours,  an.l  no  one  ha<l  the  temerity  to  relieve  his  over- 
wrought nerves  by  smoking.  Then  one  of  the  more  courageous 
spoke  up  and  asked  the  court  if  there  would  be  any  objection. 

bTom  the  bench  came  this  astounding  reply :  "W  ha  care  1 
for  dignitv.    It's  the  facts  that  I'm  after,    l^re  up.  gentlemen. 

Immediately  fragrant  perfectos.  dingy  pipes  and  even 
ciearettes  fairlv'leapcd  from  the  i^ockets  of  every  one  in  court, 
and  '^oon  the  room  was  filled  with  clouds  of  real  smoke. 


As  the  fumes  reached  the  nose  of  the  judge,  he  shifted 
uneasily  in  his  seat,  and  looked  as  if  he,  too,  were  longing  to 
puff  an  Havana. 

"It's  hard  to  refrain,  gentlemen,"  he  said,  "but  1  have 
reached  the  conclusion  that  the  court  doesn't  dare  to  smoke. 
You  will  pardon  me  if  1  seem  to  turn  my  back.  1  can  endure 
the  privation  better  when  1  can't  see  you."

Russians,  as  is  well  known,  are  the  ablest  linguists  in  the 
world,  and  this  is  a  good  thing,  so  we  Americans  think  who 
have  visited  any  portion  of  the  Little  White  Lather's  great 
domain,  and  attempted  to  properly  pronounce  the  assortment 
uf  consonants  minus  vowels  which  they  use  for  proper  names 
and  such  like  in  St.  Petersburg  or  Moscow,  but  MakarotT  ought 
to  be  easy,  for  the  cigarettes  of  that  name  are  getting  better 

known  every  day. 

The  sales  manager  of  the  MakarofT  Company  of  America 
was  dining  at  the  W  ahk.rf  some  time  ago  and  when  coffee  tune 
arrived  ordered  the  l"rench  waiter  to  go  and  get  him  a  package 
of  their  cigarettes,  pronouncing  the  name  correctly.  Ihe  serv- 
itor bowed,  wended  his  way  to  the  cigar  stand,  and  returned 
shortly  with  the  statement  tliat  it  was  a  new  brand  and  they 
did  not  keep  them.  ILxplanation  followed  that  they  were  the 
Russian  cigarettes  in  the  small  dark  red  boxes  with  the  double- 
eagle  Russian  coat  ..f  arms  <.n  tlie  box.  Once  again  the  waiter 
journeyed  to  the  cigar  stand  an.l  returned  without  the  desired 
package.  "We  haven't  got  m>  May-kar-otf  cigarettes,"  he  said, 
-and  the  only  Russian  cigarettes  we  carry  is  the  Mack-a-rotts. 

Will  they  do?"  ,   ,  ,,  , 

The  .sale  sinanager  replied  that  he  guessed  they  would  have 
to  do,  as  a  rose  by  any  (»ther  name  would  smell  as  sweet.

The  Topeka  Daily  Capital  has  the  following  in  reference 
to  the  future  of  tobacco  in  that  section  of  Kansas: 

"The  people  of  Northeastern  Kansas  believe  that  Leaven- 
worth is  to  become  the  center  of  a  tobacco  district  that  will 
rival  the  tobacco-growing  region  of  Kentucky.  The  growth  of 
this  new  industry  along  the  Missouri  River,  in  Clay  and  I  latte 
Counties,  Missouri,  and  in  Leavenworth  and  Atchison  Coun- 
ties, Kansas,  and  the  preparations  for  the  coinmg  year  s  crop, 
point  to  this  section  as  one  of  the  most  profitable  fields  for 
tobacco  growing  in  the  United  States. 

•'Across  the  Missouri  River  and  eiglit  nulcs  aI)ove  Leaven- 
worth the  old  frontier  town  of  Weston,  the  outpost  of  civiliza- 
ti.m  from  which  the  commerce  of  the  plains  and  the  Salt  Lake 
remon  was  hauled  by  wagon  sixty  years  ago,  is  now  enjoying 
its  greatest  prosperity.  For  a  half  century  Weston  stood  still 
its  earlv  poi)ulati(m  of  4.000  dwindling  to  700.  Within  the  past 
two  vears  the  population  has  jumped  to  3.000,  and  land  prices 
around  about  have  advanced  from  $100  to  $200  per  acre.  This 
is  due  to  the  tobacco  industry  in  Platte  County.  Farmers  on 
the  Kansas  side  of  the  Missouri  River  have  demonstrated  that 
the  soil  conditions  here  are  the  same,  and  hundreds  will  dis- 
card other  crops  and  plant  tobacco.  _^^^  Onlooker

EDITORIAL. 

In  these  days  of  widely  advertised  brands  of  cigars,  cigar- 
ettes and  tobacco,  retail  dealers  have,  in  many  instances,  suf- 

ferred  from  the  price-cutting  war  waged  by 
Advantages  and  unscrupulous  competitors.  One  uf  the  re- 
Disadvantages  of  suits  of  this  has  been  the  increased  demand 
Pnvate  Brands.  for  private  brand  goods. 

It  is  a  noteworthy  fact  that  many  of 
the  most  .successful  retail  cigar  stores  have  built  up  their  busi- 
ness on  their  private  brands,  although  they  carry  along  with 
them  the  regular  line  uf  popular  goods.  Marufacturers  have 
been  loath  to  encourage  this  private  brand  feature  and  have 
yielded  only  after  insistent  demands.  From  the  retailers'  stand- 
l)oint,  the  private  brand  has  its  advantages.  Jn  the  first  place, 
he  contends  that  he  can  get  a  better  cigar  made  and  branded 
privately  than  he  can  obtain  for  the  same  price  on  the  estab- 
lished brands.  Moreover,  by  giving  a  better  cigar  for  the 
inuney  and  keeping  the  brand  for  his  own  distribution,  he  can 
build  up  a  select  class  of  box  trade,  which  will  increase  the 
volume  of  his  Inisiness  and  add  to  his  profits. 

These  private  brands  are  usually  ordered  direct  froni  the 
factory  and  eliminate  the  usual  selling  costs  which  prevail  on 
the  ordinary  brands.  If  the  manufacturer  puts  the  saving  on 
his  selling  cost  into  the  quality  of  the  cigar  or  tobacco,  then  the 
retailer  should  undoubtedly  receive  better  goods  than  can  be 
obtained   ordinarily. 


Ihe  only  succo.slul  way  ul  pu.^hing  the  private  brand  is 
tu  estal)li.^h  its  idenliiy  liy  adverti.sing  ami  feature  winiiow  dis- 
play-. If  the  dealer  studies  this  tiuestion  seriously  he  will 
agree  that  he  is  simply  following  in  the  methods  of  the  big 
manufacturer,  only  on  a  smaller  scale. 

Dealers  contiinplating  putting  in  private  braiKls  should 
not  lose  sight  ol  the  fact  that  they  mu^t  also  carry  the  goods 
which  are  in  p«»pular  demand,  fur  there  are  some  smokers  who 
will  not  buy  an  unknown  brand,  even  if  it  i>  better  than  the 
kind  they  call  for. 

There  is  a  divergence  of  opinion  in  the  trade  as  to  how  the 
new  revenue  law,  which  goes  into  elTect  July  ist,  will  atVect  the 

tobacco  and  cigarette  trade.  It  is  not  believed 
The  Affect  of  the  ^^'^^^  ^'^^'  changes  in  the  sizes  oi  the  statutory 
New  Revenue  i)ackages  will  have  any  direct  effect  on  the 

Law.  retailer,  as  any  increasetl  cost  in  la.xation  is 

usually  borne  by  the  consumer  and  will  in  no 
way  diminish  tlie  profits  of  the  handler. 

The  new  sizes  of  tobacco  packages,  it  is  believed,  will 
make  it  imjKJssible  for  them  to  be  packed  in  the  old  style  car- 
tons, and  it  is  likely  that  tobacco  will  be  sold  by  the  dozen  anil 
gruss  lots  insteatl  of  at  the  usual  pound  rate. 

In  cigarettes,  it  is  predicted  that  oidy  the  lower  i)rice 
goods  will  be  afi'ected.  .Manufacturers  who  have  been  making 
cigarettes  under  the  54-cent  stamp  will  be  obliged  to  use 
smaller  packages,  as  the  increase  in  the  tax  to  i?L25  per  1,000 
wouKl  wipe  out  their  prufits  under  the  uld-style  packages. 

It  is  yet  tuu  early  tu  predict  huw  the  changes  will  affect 
the  tratle  at  large,  but  we  believe  that  maiuifacturers  will  soon 
adjust  themselves  to  the  new  t>rder  of  things  and  that  business 
will  go  on   unhampered. 

The  boycott  which  .\dmiral  I'rince  Henry  of  Prussia  is 
crediting  with  declaring  against  American  cigars  and  cigarettes 

is  one  of  the  highest  tributes  he  could  have 
A  Prince's  Boycott  P''^'^^  ^^  ^'^*-'  industry  of  this  country.  It  ap- 
on  American  pears  that   his   Royal   Nibs   has  been   much 

Qgafg  excited  over  the  invasion  of  his  country  by 

a  branch  of  Ihe  American  Tobacco  Com- 
l)any,  which  was  recently  (»pened  at  Dresden,  as  well  as  the 
iieavy  importation  of  American-made  an<l  Havana-made  cigars. 
If  these  goods  have  been  crowding  tnit  the  home  product,  they 
nuist  have  been  superior  to  those  made  by  his  compatritjts. 
And  no  royal  edict,  such  as  is  attributed  to  the  I'rince  forbid- 
ding his  sailors  to  use  American  cigars  and  cigarettes,  will 
prevent  the  lusty  Prussians  from  taking  a  Yankee  whifT  if  they 
choose. 


Ordinary  graft,  such  as  that  which  i)revails  among  small 
tradesmen  and  their  customers,  is  known  down  in  Louisiana  as 
"lagniapi)e"  (Ian-yap).  This  first  began  through  the  shopmen 
uivinir  little  tidbits  of  sweets  to  the  negro  messengers  sent  to 
them  by  their  ma.sters  to  purchase  household  articles.  Natur- 
ally servants  filled  their  masters'  orders  at  the  shops  which  gave 
them  the  most  lagniaj)pe,  ati<l,  of  course,  it  was  a  chance  for  the 
dealer  to  build  up  his  prices  high  enough  to  cover  the  prizes. 
P.utlers  of  high  degree  were  not  slow  in  yielding  to  the  seduc- 
tions of  lagniai)pe.  and  from  Louisiana  it  has  spread  all  over  the 
country,  though  it  is  by  no  means  sure  that  graft  started  in 
Louisiana.    There  are  not  a  few  instances,  indeed,  in  the  Bible. 

The  lagniappc  habit  finds  expression  now  in  all  sorts  of 
trading  stamps  and  coup«>ns  of  varied  degree,  which  finally 
evolve  into  a  Morris  chair  and  other  bits  of  furniture  danger- 
ous to  sit  upon. 

Reports  from  Elkhart.  Ind.,  state  that  the  cigar  manufac- 
turing business  is  slowly  reviving  from  the  efTects  which  fol- 
lowed the  closing  of  the  saloons  in  that  city.

F.  Villar  &  Co.   in  New  Quarters. 

Fermin  Villar,  of  h\  Villar  &  Co.,  Inc.,  sailed  on  March 
\()  for  Torto  Rico.  He  has  made  this  trip  many  times,  but  this 
occasion  is  of  especial  significance,  inasmuch  as  Mr.  V  illar  was 
married  on  the  evening  of  March  17th  and  the  present  one  is  a 

honeymoon  trip. 

Previous  to  Mr.  Villar's  departure,  a  meeting  of  V.  Villar

Mr.  Cordero  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

E.  1*.  Cordero  recently  returned  from  his  Cuban  trip  a 
little  aheail  of  his  scheduled  time.  He  reports  very  satisfactory 
results,  although  a  little  disappointed  in  the  outlook  for  the 
coming  tobacco  crop,  particularly  on  tillers,  due  principally  to 
the  unfavorable  weather  conditions  which  have  prevailed  on 

the  island. 

Cpon  his  return  Mr.  Cordero  recalled  Col.  VV  ilham  M.  Le- 
vine.  who  was  traveling  through  the  South,  and  at  that  time 
at  Xashville,  to  the  New  York  office  to  confer  with  him  and 
arrange  to  accompany  him  on  an  extended  Western  trip  to  the 
Pacific  Coast,  upon  which  they  left  New  York  on  March  3rd. 

The  (ieneral  was  particularly  anxious  to  make  this  tour, 
as  it  is  now  seven  years  since  he  has  had  an  opportunity  of 
shaking  hands  with  his  friends  in  this  territory. 

Harry  Cordero  states  they  arc  having  an  excellent  trade 
on  the  "Mr.  Hogan"  cigar,  and  that  he  is  receiving  good  re- 
ports from  his  father  and  Mr.  Levine,  who  have  opened  up 
some  fine  new  accounts.  Unless  present  plans  are  changed, 
they  will  not  return  much  before  May  I2th.

specialty  in  Vuelta  Abajo.  Sylvester  &  Stern  were  (|uite  for- 
tunate in  obtaining  such  an  able  man  to  represent  their  inter- 
ests in  Cuba,  Mr.  Herrera  being  a  recognized  authority  on  to- 
bacco, having  devoted  his  life  to  the  study  and  handling  of  this 
product.  For  many  years  he  was  associated  with  P.nino  Diaz 
&  Co.,  and  for  six  years  acted  as  buyer  for  the  E.  H.  Gato 
Cigar  Company. 


A  petition  in  bankrui^tcy  has  been  filed  against  Julins

ner of  the  firm  .>f  Rosenstadt  &  Jacobs,  and  in  addition  to  his 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  tobacco  business,  has  a  magnificent 
voice,  having  studied  under  the  best  European  masters. 


E.  M.  Schwarz  &  Co.'s  New   Factory. 
Modem  Building  Overlooking  East  River  Provides  Excellent  Faciblies. 

t  ^^  \  \  V.  of  the  most  modern,  substantial  and  thoroughly 
I  VJ  J  e(|iiipi)ed  cigar  factories  in  the  country  has  been  built 
iBUDJll  and  is  now  occupied  by  IC.  M.  Schwarz  ^:  Co..  at  29-35 
^OSaaB      j.-.j^^    j.'j^^j   j^y^.j^y^^.   mid    i^ast   81  St   street.    New^    York 

City. 

The  locatit»n  is  particularly  adapted  for  this  purpose,  as  it 
is  situated  high  above  the  bank  of  the  luist  River,  the  rear 
facing  the  river,  thus  afi'ording  an  abundance  of  fresh  air  and 
light. 

The  building  is  constructed  of  brick,  concrete  and  steel, 
as  nearly  fireproof  as  is  possible,  and  has  a  frontage  of  loj  feet 
with  a  depth  of  So  feet,  eight  stories  in  height,  one  of  which 
might  be  commonly  called  the  cellar.  In  this  case,  however,  it 
is  almost  as  light  as  any  other  floor,  as  the  windows  face  the 
river  and  are  twenty-five  feet  above  the  high-water  mark. 

( )ne-half  of  the  first  fl(H)r  is  devoted  to  a  reception  room, 
the  general  business  offices,  and  the  private  offices  of  Mr. 
Schwarz.  Mr.  Klein.  Mr.  Wertheim  and  Mr.  Cahn  ;  the  bal- 
ance is  used  for  the  vaults  and  stripping  room. 

Particular  thought  has  been  given  to  the  matter  of  the  sev- 
eral vaults,  which  have  been  constructed,  not  only  for  the 
extra  security  of  their  contents,  but  are  also  dusi-proof. 

The  cigar  vault,  containing  the  ready- for-shipment  prod- 
uct, is  very  thorough  in  its  c«»nstruction.  and  is  built  of  hollow 
tiles  covered  with  Portland  cement,  the  interior  with  boarding, 
between  which  is  ])laced  cedar  sawdust.  The  floor  is  also  of 
cement,  covered  with  sand  and  brick,  insuring  moisture  proof, 
but  in  case  moisture  is  needed,  there  is  an  arrangement  below 
the  ceiling,  of  brass  pipes,  which  arc  punctured  with  small 
holes,  to  allow  a  dripi)ing  on  asbestos  underneath  the  pipes.  By 
this  means  the  moisture  can  be  regulated  to  suit  conditions. 

The  cigar  vaults  on  this  floor  have  a  capacity  of  1,000.000 

cigars. 

On  the  top  fl(X)r  there  is  also  another  vault,  placed  in  the 
centre  of  the  room  for  loose  cigars,  which  has  a  capacity  of 
Qoo.ooo.  On  this  floor  there  is  an  accommodation  for  the 
packers,  and  they  are  supplied  with  the  cigars  from  the  cigar- 
making  rooms  by  dumb  waiters  and  elevators,  a  system  which 
is  installed  throughout  the  entire  building. 

There  is  one  floor  devoted  to  drying  fillers,  separating  by 
a  wall  the  Havana  from  the  seed  fillers ;  also  one  for  the  cigar- 
makers  and  one  for  the  manufacturing  of  the  Little  Eoveras. 

The  boiler,  two  dynamos— one  fifty  and  one  twenty-five 
horse  power— which  provide  light  and  heat  for  the  building, 
are  located  in  the  cellar.  There  is  also  a  motor  on  each  floor, 
which  regulates  the  power  for  that  individual  floor,  independ- 

entlv  of  the  others. 

The  ventilating  system  is  very  complete,  and  the  sanitary 
appointments  are  as  neariy  perfect  as  can  be.  For  example 
the  wash  and  dressing  rooms  are  of  mari)le,  concrete  and 
nickel.  There  are  separate  compartments  on  each  working 
floor' for  lunch  rooms,  and  each  employee  is  allowed  two  hooks 
for  hat  and  coat  in  coat  room.  ' 

The  factory  has  now  about  T.200  employees,  divided 
among  the  cigarmakers,  bunchmakers,  packers,  strippers  and 
handlers,  and  is  turning  out  about  210,000  cigars  a  day.  They 
are  now  advertising  for  more  hands,  and  hope  very  soon  to  be 
able  to  run  to  the  full  capacity  of  the  factory,  which  is  250,000 
a  dav. 


What's  in  a  Name? 


In  keeping  with  the  high  t|nality  of  the  Savarona  cigars  is 
the  dignified  label  of  thi-  brand,  which  we  reproduce  herewith.

J.  Taranlous  to  Make  "Mi  Valors." 

With  a  record  i>f  nearly  twenty  years  back  of  him  a^  fore- 
man in  charge  of  the  Kegeiisburg  plant  in  New  Vork.  I.  I  ar- 
antous  has  leased  (|iiarters  at  J13  Pearl  street.  New  York,  and 
commenced  the  manufacture  of  clear  Havana  cigars  «»n  his 
own  account. 

Mr.  Tarantous  has  chosen  the  name  of  'Mi  V  alor"  for 
his  goods,  and  is  making  a  first-class  clear  Havana  cigar  in 
twenty-odd  sizes. 


The  latest  report  last  week  at  the  «»ftice  ()f  H.  Anton  P.ock 
&  Co.  was  that  Mr.  P.ock  was  at  that  time  in  San  bVancisco. 
h>om  there  he  was  to  go  to  Portland  and  Seattle  and  W(»rk  his 
way  back  ICast  over  the  Xorthern  route.  He  has  been  partic- 
ularly fortunate  in  not  having  lost  any  time  on  account  of  the 
recent  bad  weather  conditions  in  the  I'ar  West,  his  delays  being 
only  in  the  usual  course  of  business,  which  he  reports  very  sit- 
sifactory.  hVom  present  indications  he  will  return  to  New 
York  about  April  15th. 

Jacob  Cohn,  of  J.  Cohn  .S:  C"....  1^)4  Water  street,  ini- 
l)(»rters  of  Havana  and  Porto  Rico  seed  leaf  tobacco,  sailed 
March  19  on  the  "Carolina"  for  Porto  Rico.  The  <.bject  of  .Vlr. 
Cohn's  visit  to  Porto  Rico  at  this  time  is  more  for  the  benetit 
of  his  health  and  a  rest  than  for  business  piiri)oses.  I  le  expects 
to  remain  until  June.  M.  L.  Cohn  al^o  leaves  for  Porto  Rico 
on  April  2n(l  for  a  tour  of  the  island,  making  his  selection  and 
purchases  of  the  new  crop,  which  he  states  is  of  good  quality, 
but  not  plentiful.    He  will  be  away  for  three  weeks.

Cccille. 

Mr.  Fckert  has  recently  devoted  several  weeks  looking 
after  the  American  interests  of  his  company  in  this  country. 

Among  the  cities  he  has  visited  are  New  York,  Chicago, 
St.  Louis.  Philadelphia  and  Pitt.sburg.

tlif  ^^n.MJs.  In  an  interview  with  Mr.  ( "ludkuecht  he  t<»ld  a 
Toi5\((<)  WoKi.i)  representative  that  the  Mah  Mai  ci<,^'lrette  is  a 
lii^h-j;rade  product  of  I^}.(yj)tian  ci^Mrettes.  and  which,  while  it 
has  l..n<(  had  a  c<»nsidcral)lc  sale  in  New  l\nj,dand  ix.ints,  was 
entirely  new  to  this  market  until  he  introduced  it. 

Not  f>nly  has  this  branri  been  favorably  received  by  t!ie 
leadiu}^'  clubs  and  i)roniinent  cafes,  but  a  demand  is  being  cre- 
ated amonj^r  the  better  class  of  retail  stores,  as  well.  In  this 
connection  a  i)eculiar  incident  was  related  by  a  local  dealer  the 
nther  dav.  It  api)ears  that  a  custc^ner  had  come  into  his  store 
and  purchased  a  packajje  of  Mah  Mai  cip^arettes.  but  throuj^h 
some  misfortune  he  dropped  the  packaj^e  on  the  street  not  far 
from  the  -^tore.  .\nother  passer-by  discovered  the  packat^'e. 
picked  it  up  and  immediately  instituted  an  incjuiry  from  nearby 
cij^'ar  store*^  as  to  where  he  could  ^vt  those  floods.  Tie  then 
stated  that  he  had  been  accustomed  to  smoking:  them  while  in 
P.oston.  but  that  he  had  never  been  able  to  nret  any  in  Phila- 
<lelpliia.  There  is  no  more  trouble  like  this  cominj:;  to  the  man 
now.  since  they  are  pretty  well  placed  about  town. 

Harry  Rush,  who  has  for  a  number  of  years  been  identi- 
fied with  Mr.  Cuidknecht.  is  now  chief  'talesman  of  the  Mah 
Mai  cigarette  account,  and  also  several  attractive  lines  of

Retailer  Has  New  Coupon  System. 

Samuel  Green wald,  a  well-known  retail  dealer  at  5  ^Tarket 
street,  has  adopted  a  novel  coupon  system— one  which  intro- 
duce<  a  unique  way  of  utilizing  trade  stamps.  It  also  affonl^ 
Mr.  r.reenwald's  patrons  the  advantage  of  the  extensive  pre- 
mium department  of  one  of  the  largest  trading  stamp  concerns 
in  the  country.  We  are  inkunied  that  thi^  plan  is  proving  a 
very  satisfactory  one  to  Mr.  Greenwald.  and  that  he  even  con- 
templates extending  his  oi)erations  in  this  line. 

I.  T..  Kemper,  of  M.  Kemper  cS:  Sons.  Baltimore  leaf  to-

United  Store  at    13th  and  Chestnut. 

r  ^^  \  SE  of  tlie  nnjst  important  leases  which  the  United 
I  vJ  J  Cigar  Stores  Company  has  ever  closed  in  IMiiladel- 
I^RSy  i)hia  was  consummated  last  week,  when  they  took  over 
^^^  the  southeast  corner  of  13th  and  Chestnut  streets. 
This  site,  which  was  formerly  occui)ied  by  M.  J.  Dalton's  cigar 
store,  is  one  of  the  best  in  Philadelphia.  Only  a  part  of  the 
store  is  leased,  having  a  frontage  of  20  feet  and  a  depth  of  20 
feet  on  Chestnut  street.  The  terms  are  not  disclosed,  but  it  is 
surmised  that  the  United  is  paying  a  fancy  figure.  The  Dalton 
store  has  been  removed  around  the  corner  of  South  13th  street 
to  the  quarters  formerly  occupied  bv  the  P.roomall-Lafayette 
Cigar  Company.  As  soon  as  the  premises  at  13th  and  Chestnut 
streets  has  been  remodeled,  the  ITnited  store  will  be  opened. 


O.  L.  Myers,  of  R.  Lipschutz.  Philadelphia,  returned  from 
a  lengthy  trip  over  the  West  recently  and  turned  in  some  ex- 
cellent accounts,  among  them  being  P.  J.  Rubey,  of  Chicago. 
The  Lipschutz  "44"  cigar  is  gaining  rapidly  in  the  West,  and 
the  brand  is  well  sold  ahead.  "Mahlon  A.  Funk  began  a  tour 
March  20th  of  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania,  his  calls  result- 
ing in  the  opening  of  a  number  of  desirable  accounts  for  the 
Lipschutz  goods. 

M.  Falk,  head  of  the  Falk  Tobacco  Company,  Richmond. 
Va.,  stopped  off  in  Philadelphia  March  20th  for  a  few  days' 
call  among  the  trade.  Mr.  Falk  visited  a  number  of  stores, 
among  them  being  Godfrey  S.  Mann,  Yahn  &  McDonnell  and 
other  prominent  handlers  of  the  Falk  goods  in  this  market.  ITe 
was  well  pleased  wn'th  the  business  gathered  in  Philadelphia 
and  continued  his  trip  to  New  York  in  an  optTmistic  frame  of 
mind. 

Arthur  TTagen  Sz  Co.  this  week  removed  their  offices  and 
salesrooms  to  152  North  Third  street,  iust  across  the  way  from 
their  former  premises.  A  member  of  the  firm  states  that  a 
verv  large  sale  is  being  created  in  this  market  on  the  "Mono- 
lite"  self-lighting  cigarette.  These  cigarettes  are  sold  at  the 
popular  price  of  15  cents,  and  since  Philadelphia  is  a  strong 
market  for  popular-priced  goods,  it  is  now  expected  that  the 
"Monolite"  will  rapidly  spring  into  increasing  public  favor. 

A.  Pareira  is  closing  his  leaf  business  at  239  Race  ^treet. 
and  expects  to  again  return  to  the  road  as  a  representative  of

will  be  the  private  office  of  Mr.  r.oltz  and  his  siiu.  j  Am 
Clymer  Pxdtz.  who  will  be  in  direct  cb.arge  of  the  factory. 

An  annex  is  erected,  providing  shower  baths  and  tubs  for 
tile  exclusive  use  of  the  executives.  The  remainder  of  the  first 
lloor  will  be  divided  for  shipping,  stami)ing,  ])acking  and  gen- 
eral sup])ly  and  storage  nu^ms.  Ample  platf«)rms  will  be  pro- 
vided for  the  shipping  of  the  g<:>ods  and  a  /><»//  cochrrc  is  erected 
on  the  side,  through  which  the  delivery  wagons  will  pass. 

The  second  floor  will  be  devoted  exclusively  to  the  work- 
room, being  admirably  lighted  on  Ixith  sides  and  from  the  ends, 
and  providing  room  for  572  tables.  To  the  rear  will  be  a  room 
for  the  selectors  of  tobacco  and  also  for  the  filler  supplies. 
The  third  floor  will  be  divided  in  the  centre  by  a  long  partition 
and  various  rooms  will  be  apportioned,  providing  separate 
spaces  for  stripping,  blending  and  the  filler  departments.  A 
space  is  also  allotted  to  provide  for  additional  room  for  work- 
luen  should  the  new  factory  be  overtaxed. 

.•\n  admirable  feature  of  the  new  factory  will  be  the  con- 
struction of  an  annex  to  the  rear,  which  will  provide  toilets 
for  the  workpeople.  This  is  a  sanitary  feature  which  cannot 
l)Ut  make  for  the  good  of  the  product. 

The  basement,  which  will  be  well  lighted  and  kept  per- 
fectly drv,  will  provide  space  for  the  casing  and  storage  room, 
as  well  as  warehouses  for  tobacco  supplies  and  matuifactured 

cigars. 

The  erection  of  this  splendid  factory  in  Tampa  will  mark 
an  epoch  in  the  career  of  Roltz.  Clymer  &  Co.  The  finn  was 
established  in  t88o  and  its  first  quarters  were  in  the  meagre 
building  on  Third,  near  Arch.  In  iSqi  the  firm  moved  the 
factory  to  the  corner  of  Fifteenth  street  and  Lehigh  avenue, 
which  thev  have  occupied  ever  since. 

If  is  the  intention  of  Mr.  Roltz  to  continue  the  manu- 
facture of  cigars  in  the  Philadelphia  factory,  chiefly  his  "Fl 
Merito"  brands,  and  to  devote  the  new  factorv  exclusively  to 
the  manufacture  of  clear  Havana  goocN,  notablv  the  "La  Pa- 
lencia."  The  latter  have  been  on  the  market  for  ten  years  and 
have  had  an  enviable  reputation.  They  are  sold  at  retail  from 
TO  to  50  cents,  and  come  in  30  sizes. 

With  the  opening  of  the  Tampa  factory  the  firm  wdl  be  m 
better  shape  than  ever  to  give  the  trade  high-class  goods  in  any 
quantities  desired.

tli..>t-  previously  puhlislied,  so  business  lias  not  further 
.leeliue.l.  and.  considering'  the  season  of  the  year,  can  he  termed 
fair,  r.esides  our  visitors  from  the  North  our  commission  mer- 
chants are  usuallv  more  or  less  supplied  with  direct  orders 
ij-om  their  custou'iers.  Li^dit  \uelta  Ahajo  tillers  have  been 
in  f^reat  demand  hv  «>ur  local  factories,  as  well  as  by  the  Amer- 
ican clear  Havana' ci^ar  manufacturers,  as  it  is  feared  that  the 
supply  of  the  o.niinj,'  crop  of  such  styles  may  be  barely  suffi- 
cient to  j(o  around. 

The  scarcity  of  wrappers  is  already  beKinni"k'  to  be  felt 
by  many  of  our  local  fact(.ries,  principally  the  smaller  ones, 
which  from  want  of  ample  capital  were  unable  to  lay  in  a  stock 
to  last  them,  until  the  new  wrappers  should  come  to  market 
an<l  be  tit  f<.r  workinK^  (  )ur  lar^a-  iiidei)en(lent  factories  d.)  not 
suffer,  however,  on  this  account,  and  very  likely  they  will  reap 
the  benefit  (.f  receiving'  increased  orders  be f(.re  lonjr.  bancy 
prices  nii^lit  be  obtained  for  real  choice  wrappers  of  silky  tex- 
ture and  uniform  li^dit .colors,  but  one  hxr^rv  manufacturer  in 
showing  such  bales  t.»  a  partv,  which  came  in  (luest  of  same, 
.ledared.  that  even  if  he  were  offered  $1,500  per  bale  he  would 
uot  part  with  them,  as  he  needed  them  himself. 

i'artido  has  been  in  urj^eiit  demand,  but  as  stocks  are  ex- 
hausted, buyers  will  have  to  wait  until  the  new  crop  should 
be  ready    for  them. 

Reme<lios   hrst  and   second  Capaduras  are  held  firm   for 
prime  i^sojidas  and  some  dealers  sold  at  an  advance  over  pre- 
vi(ms  fi^'ures.    The  time  to  pick  up  such  floods  at  low  figures 
has  j,'one  bv.  and  if  the  new  crop  should  not  be    larj^^e,    the 
chances  are' in  favor  <d  better  prices  beinj,'  paid  to  the  farmers. 
The  last  agricultural  rei>orts  speak  of  rains  in  most  of  the 
tobacco-jrrowing  districts,  that   the  half-starved  plants  in  the 
fields   had   been    ^Mcatlv   benefited   by    the   moisture    from   the 
skies.    It  remains  to  be  seen  now  whether  the  rainy  season  will 
h..M  off  lon^'  enough  to  give  the  farmers  a  chance  to  cut  the 
tobacco  not  al..ne.  but  also  to  let  it  dry  sufficiently  in  the  barns. 
In  that  case  the  crop  mav  be  larger  in  (piantity  than  was  ex- 
pected at  first.     As  regards  (|ua1ity,  it  is  too  early  to  say  any- 
thing, as  it  has  happened  in   former  years  that  a  crop  which 
appeared  as  heavv  when  cut.  finally  did  turn  out  light,  through 
a  g..od  heavv  sweat  in  the  piles,  and  possibly  this  might  be  the 
case  this  year.    (i.H.d   judges  of  tobacco,  when  green   in  the 
fields,  or  hanging   up  to  dry   in   the  barns,   speak   reservedly 
about    the   final   ..uto.me.   although   more   hopefully   than   de- 
spondentlv  about   the  X'uelta   Ahajo  croi).    The  Remates  and 
surrounding  <listricts  of  ( hiane,  Mantua,  etc..  are  pronounced 
as  good  this  year,  thanks  to  timely  rains.

Havana  cigar  manufacturers  have  very  little  of  good  news 
to  boast  about,  as  the  published  ex])orts  for  the  two  months  .)f 
lanuarv  and  b'ebruary,  this  year,  show  an  alarming  retrograde 
inovement,  as  comi)ared  with  190Q.  It  seems,  h.)wever,  that 
the  bnint  of  the  battle  for  existence  has  to  be  fought  by  the 
smaller  factories,  while  the  larger  ones  of  the  independents 
speak  more  encouraginglv,  and  some  even  claim  that  business 
is  better  than  it  was  twelve  months  ago  with  them.  Business 
with  Germany  is  very  much  curtailed,  which  is,  however,  not 
to  be  wondered  at,  as  the  effects  of  the  tremendous  raise  in 
duties  seem  to  be  felt  more  at  present  than  previously.  The 
demand  from  the  United  States  is  improving,  while  the  calls 
from  England  are  also  keeping  up  to  its  normal  state  at  this

11.  Ipmaiin  &  Co.  are  working  with  good  f«)rces  and 
orders  are  coming  in  from  all  parts  of  the  world.  They  always 
have  a  satisfactory  order  slate  to  look  after,  so  that  when  some 
are  executed  and  shipi)ed,  new  ones  are  taking  their  places. 

"Sol"  does  not  complain,  as  P.ehrens  &  Co.  know  that 
business  cannot  be  rushing  at  present,  but  they  are  increasing 
their  trade  with  the   L'nited  States. 

Henry  Clay  and  Pn)ck  &  Co.  report  good  orders  from 
everywhere.  bVank  .\rango  left  for  Tampa  last  week,  but  is 
e\i)ected  back  soon. 

"La  Diligencia"  is  doing  a  steady  good  trade  to  all  parts 
of  the  l'nited  States  as  well  as  to  luirope,  .Australia,  and 
South  America. 

"Por  Larranaga"  is  aheail  in  its  output  as  C(>mi)ared  with 
last  year. 

"Fl  Credito." — This  factory  is  well  pleased  with  the  orders 
])eiiig  received  from  all  parts  of  the  American  I'nion,  and  es- 
])ecially  with  the  Philadelphia  trade.  This  house  more  and 
more  is  winning  favor  among  all  classes  of  smokers,  and  they 
deserve  all  the  trade  that  they  get,  for  they  put  up  an  "A-i" 
smoke. 

.\velino  Pazos  &  Co.  sold  300  bales  of  choice  X'ueltas  to 
customers  in  the  .\ortli.  This  lutuse  still  has  some  tine  .selected 
stuck  at  moi-lerate  prices,  which  it  would  pay  any  one  to  in- 
spect. 

Sobrinos  A.  (ionzalez  sold  i,78(j  bales  of  \  uelta  Ahajo  and 
Kemedios,  besides  having  more  or  less  pending  orders  to  fulfill 
for  their  numerous  clientele  in  the  States,  as  tliey  are  noted  to 
have  had  the  money  to  buy  when  prices  did  not  rule  (|uite  so 
high,  and  were  sagacious  enough  to  lay  in  a  supply  of  the  very 
best  \'egas, 

Antonio  M.  Calzada  cS:  Co.  sold  several  very  good  lots  of 
\  uelta  Ahajo  and  Kemedios  t(»bacco  to  the  Northern  market, 
as  well  as  to  the  local  trade. 

Other  busy  dealers  were  P.runo  Diaz  cS:  Co.,  Puente  Grande 
^^  Co.,  Cardenas  &  Co.,  b'ernando  I'ernandez  y  Hno.,  Planas  &: 
Co.,  Perez  ^K:  ( )beso.  Commission  merchants  who  were  active 
were  Leslie  Paiitin.  Charles  P.lasco,  C.  IC.  P.eck  &  Co.,  Manuel 
Suarez,  Mark  .\.  Pollack  and  J.  \\  P.erndes  &  Co. 

Charles  P.la.sco  lias  just  commenced  to  launch  upon  the 
market  an  excellent  cigarette,  under  the  registered  l)rand  "No- 
vina."  an<l  which  promises  to  be  a  success,  as  F'loreiicio  .Suarez, 
better  known  as  "P.aitarin,"  is  supervising  this  new  enterprise. 
L'he  latter  was  connected  with  "Pa  b:minencia"  cigarette  fac- 
tory during  the  day  of  its  glory,  and  he  knows  that  by  employ- 
ing only  the  tinest  colors  of  \uelta  .\bajo,  that  the  public  will 
buy  and  smoke  such  cigarettes  in  preference,  particularly  as  the 
pernicious  coupon  system  has  been  abolished  here. 

b>om  a  good  source  it  is  learned  that  "La  Intimidad"  fac- 
tory, of  late  operated  by  the  American  Tobacco  Company,  is 
liable  to  join  the  ranks  of  the  independent  factories  uncler  a 
new  management.  The  heirs  of  Antonio  Caruncho  were  willing 
to  give  a  ten-years'  lease  of  this  factory  to  Rafael  ( ionzalez,  for- 
merly foreman  of  La  Cabanas  factory,  and  l-ernando  b'oyo, 
iiig  in  La  Cabanas  factory  for  many  years,  but  demanded  to 
who  was  the  head  buyer  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company, 
but  insisted  upon  Don  Pepin  Rodriguez  to  become  interested, 
at  least  as  a  silent  partner.  The  latter  was  willing  to  assist  his 
old-time  friend,  Don  Rafael  Gonzales,  as  both  had  been  work- 
ing in  La  Cabanas  factory  for  many  years,  but  demanded  to 
have  the  option  of  buying  "La  Intimidad"  out  and  out,  after 
the  ten  years  should  have  expired.  As  the  Trust's  contract 
has  terminated  and  will  not  be  renewed,  there  is  but  little  doubt 
that  the  pending  negotiations  will  be  carried  to  a  .satisfactory 
conclusion  before  long.

"I'lor  de  P.  .\.  l'>tanillo"  is  doing  a  very  gtHul  business  to 
the  Cnited  .States,  as  well  as  to  l-'uropo. 

Kz.  P.autista  \-  Co.  sold  280  bales  of  \  uelta  and  Keme»li«»s.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


How  Tobacco  Exports  of  U.  S.   Have  Grown. 

Willi.  I.  rxpcMl  tigurtvs  li.ivc  appeared  icpcalcMlly  cover- 
ing liicjsc  periods,  the  recent  cuiiceiitratiuii  of  aggre- 
gates by  the  Department  ui  Commerce  and  Alanu- 
lactures,  and  tlie  exhdjit  of  cunntries  int<j  wliich  our 
lohaccui  liave  gone,  bUjiply  tables  of  tlie  greatest  possible 
value. 

llelgium,  in  a  modest  way,  is  one  of  our  best  customers, 
<Mir  exports  there  being  i2,(x>{),(joo  pounds  in  1909,  9j/j  mil- 
li«»n  pounds  in  1907  and  9'.j  million  pounds  in  1908.  liritish 
Australia  took  ..ver  u)  j  million  pounds  in  1908,  British  West 
Africa  4  million  pounds,  an<l  ine  liritish  West  indies  nearly 
i^^  million  pounds.  Cana<la  t«jok  nearly  13  million  pounds, 
China  S/4  million  pounds,  l-rance  33'/j  million  [lounds,  Ger- 
many nearly  4i,o<x),(xxj  pounds,  Italy  nearly  40  million  pounds, 
Spain  a  trille  (ner  13  million  jiounds,  and  the  United  Kingdom 
of  (Ireat  Britain  1 1(>  million  pounds  and  upwards.  These  coun- 
tries were  our  best  customers,  and  jirobably  are  still. 

Tobacco  in  much  less  quantities  was  sent  to  all  parts  of 
the  world  and  the  pounds  given  inchule  leaf,  stems  and  trim- 
mings. Our  exports  to  Mexico  in  1908  were  but  i^j  million 
pounds,  thus  indicating  a  big  acreage  of  tobacco  grown  there. 
Norway  consumed  only   i|j  million  pounds. 

Jixi'OKIS   i:^    CoLMKIK.S  lOK    Hj(j()-i)/-oS. 

Our  total  of  exports  for  the  three  years  prior  to  1909 
were  as   follows : 

190O — ^IJ,JJJ,J02   pounds,   worth $28,808,367 

1907 — 340,742,804  pounds,   worth 33'377»39^ 

1908 — 33o,8i2,(»58  pounds,   worth 347^7>157 

Reference  elsewhere  is  made  to  our  exports  for  1909;  also 
to  those  of  Cuba,  Cuba  being  second  in  the  world  and  the 
United  States  lirst. 

Tobacco  exports  from  the  United  States  began  growing 
good  in  the  late  4(/s.  Jn  1851  we  sent  out  95,945,000  pounds 
of  leaf,  worth  $9,219,251. 

Let  us  trace  for  each  ten  years  thereafter: 
Jn  18OU,  when  the  civil  war  was  looming  up  and  the  Vir- 
ginia weed  was  the  pride  of  the  South,  we  exported  173,844,400 
pounds  of  leaf,  worth  $I5,90(),547.  I'or  reasons  not  stated  to- 
bacco exports  were  mucri  lower  in  i8f)0  than  for  four  years 
previous.  Aggregate  f<»r  i8(kj  being  over  $5,o<.xj,(xx)  less  than 
for  1859.

Fort  Sumter  was  tired  on  April,   18O1. 
ports  for  the  war  period  were  as  follows:

Lee  surrendered  in  April,  18O5,  and  exports  for  the  year 
showed  how  (luickly  after  the  politicians  (luit  raising  hell  the 
people  went  to  raising  tobacco.  Export  values  that  year  were 
nearly  double  those  of  1864.  Prices,  however,  were  ascending 
for,  while  the  (juantity  exported  gained  about  one-third  over 
18(14,  the  pounds  exported  in  '05  almost  doubled. 

J'he  interesting  fact  is  revived  also  that  many  million 
pounds  of  splendidly  cured  tobacco  ripened  with  age  in  air- 
light  lK>xes  were  released  all  over  the  South  from  hiding  places 
and  brought  fabulous  i)rices. 

i'oreign  countries  were  ravenous  for  tobacco;  so  were  the 
States  North  an«l  West  in  the  United  States.  Thousands  of 
war-worn  planters  and  small  merchants  found  themselves  rich 
in  many  instances,  for  no  price  seemed  too  high. 

Tobacco  export  values  for  1865  were  the  heaviest  in  the 
historv  of  the  wred  in  America,  and  the  year  remains  fiscally 
tile  banner  one  in  exports.

Present  Status  of  the  Tobacco  Industry. 

IlL  L'nited  Stales  Department  of  Agriculture  has 
again  placed  tlie  tobacco  industry  under  obligations 
by  its  issuance  of  a  thirteen-page  pampiilet  entitled 
"Present  Status  of  the  Tobacco  Industry, "  by  White- 


man  W'.  Garner,  physiologist  in  charge  of  the  tobacco  investi- 
gations. 

While  this  pamphlet,  of  necessity,  echoes  certain  basic 
facts  which  are  familiar  to  the  trade,  they  are  nevertheless 
grouped  with  historic  accuracy  and  show  a  compreliensioii  of 
tobacco  from  a  scientilic  standpoint  which  is  highly  gratifying. 
Jhe  different  classes  of  tobacco  are  treated  with  brief  precision 
and  include  cigar  types,  wrapper  and  binder  leaf,  shade  tobacco 
industry,  tiller  leaf,  export  types,  dark  lire-cured  tobacco.  Mary- 
land and  Eastern  Ohio  air-cured  tobacco. 

Under  the  heading  of  manufactured  types  are  included 
lUirley  tobacco  grown  in  a  wide  area  of  country  in  Kentucky, 
Ohio,  Indiana  and  West  V  irginia,  its  highest  development  be- 
ing in  limited  areas  of  Kentucky  and  Southern  Ohio. 

Next  is  the  dark  manufactured  tobacco  mdigenous  to 
Kentucky  and  Tennessee  and  a  few  counties  of  \  irginia. 
Bright  llue-cured  tobacco  is  itemized  as  coming  from  the  dark 
tobacco  belt  of  Virginia,  Southern  and  Eastern  Carolina  and 
East  Southern  Carolina.  The  tiner  grades  are  used  as  wrap- 
pers on  manufactured  plug,  which  brings  good  prices. 

I'liKiguii. — This  renowned  name  applies  to  tobacco  grown 
in  St.  James'  parish  of  Louisiana  on  a  small  scale.  The  metlKjd 
of  handling  is  unique.  It  is  described  as  highly  aromatic  and 
is  used  mostly  for  blending  with  other  smoking  types.  Each 
grower  puts  up  his  product  in  packages  known  as  "carrottes  , 
and  the  entire  I'erique  output  is  marketed  through  one  concern.

Show^s  Tampa's  Great  Prosperity. 

More  "Havana"  Cigars  Than    Any    Other    City  in  the  World 

says  Boomer. 

HAT  J.  K.  Purns,  of  Tampa,  Ela.,  has  to  say  about 
that  live  town  is  traveling  through  the  papers.  Mr. 
Ikirns  was  in  New  Vt>rk  lately  and  a  Sun  man  got 
hold  of  him,  with  good  publicity  results  for  Tampa. 

Mr.  Burns  talked  square  out  from  liis  mouth  and  said 
that  Tampa  was  making  more  clear  Havana  cigars  than  any 
other  city  in  the  world.  Twenty-tive  to  twenty-eight  years  ago 
Tampa  was  a  little  fishing  village.  Now  it  has  50,000  inhabi- 
tants and  has  doubled  within  ten  years.  Mr.  Burns  had  a 
kindly  word  for  Key  West,  however,  and  asserts  that  when 
hdagler  gets  through  with  his  ocean  railnjad.  Key  West  will 
be  heard  from. 

Many  Key  West  tirms  have  moved  to  Tampa,  where  there 
are  about  sixty  factories  turning  out  from  18,000,000  to  20,000,- 
000  cigars  a  year. 

Mr.  Burns  says  there  is  a  constant  demand  for  light  cigars, 
and  that  competition  is  keener  between  Tampa  and  Key  West 
factories  than  between  imix)rters.  Manufacturers  give  the  pub- 
lic what  it  asks  for  and  not  what  they  think  best. 

Of  the  South  generally,  Mr.  Burns  says  that  it  is  calling 
for  millions  of  clear  Havanas  for  local  smoking,  due  to  the 
great  wave  of  prosperity  incident  to  the  high  price  of  cotton. 

The  mild  and  healthful  climate  of  Tampa  enables  the 
people  to  work  the  year  round  with  open  windows. 


H.  ].  Waltzer  has  bought  the  interest  of  H.  B.  Grossbcck 
in  the  wholesale  and  retail  cigar  business  at  Mount  Clemens, 
Mich.  H.  H.  Wallace  enters  the  firm,  which  will  be  known  in 
future  as  W  allace  &  Waltzer.  Mr.  Waltzer  has  been  twelve 
years  cashier  of  a  U)cal  gas  company. 


THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


T.\M?.\,  March  28. 

r  IP  I  RiaiEXSBURG  &  SONS  began  work  in  their  new 
I  jL/  J  factory  in  this  city  to-day.  All  last  week  they  have 
IllHHBH  been  gradually  moving  into  the  big  building.  Mor- 
timer and  Jerome  Regeusburg.  personally  sui)erin- 
Unding  the  moving  operations. 

The  Kegensburg  facte ►ry  is  the  latest  coniplete<l  ad<lition 
to  (jreater  Tampa's  many  tine  factory  buildings.  In  point  of 
tinish  and  thoroughly  m<Klern  aiid  i)ractical  e(|uipment.  it  has 
110  superior  in  the  world.  \  enlilation,  an  electric  elevator,  zinc- 
lined  cigar  vaults,  a  storage  room  with  a  capacity  of  2,000  bales 
of  tobacco,  etc.,  are  special  features.  The  vaults  in  the  blending 
rooms  have  a  capacity  of  two  weeks'  supply  of  blended  to- 
bacco, for  each  blend.  The  factory  is  258  feet  long,  three 
^ti>ries.  of  red  brick,  and  a  basement;  the  whole  is  surmounte<l 
by  a  fine  clock  tower,  which  contains  the  water  tanks  sui)ply- 
ing  water  for  sanitary  purposes  and  fire  protection. 

Thinking  that  he  was  barred  from  selling  cottee  to  the  fac- 
tory emphnees  during  work  hours  by  the  new  foreman.  Tuo- 
lou,  Rafael  Gordila,  a  cottee  shop  man,  whose  place  of  business 
is  near  the  factory  of  Celestino  \  ega  ^  Co.,  attempted  the  life 
of  the  f(jreman,  firing  on  him  with  a  revolver.  The  man  was 
subse(juently  arrested  and  has  been  bound  over  fi>r  trial.  Mr. 
\'ega  declares  that  his  foreman  was  in  no  way  responsible  f(M- 
the  orders  ancnt  stopping  the  sale  of  coffee  in  the  factory  dur- 
ing working  hours. 

The  outlook  for  the  summer  is  a  very  bright  one.  Manu- 
facturers who  discussed  the  matter  during  the  past  week  all 
took  an  optimistic  view  of  the  situation.  One  of  them  «le- 
clared  that  their  orders  showed  (|uite  an  imi)rovement  over  the 
first  two  weeks  in  March  of  last  year,  and  this  statement  could 
probably  be  shared  by  every  one  of  the  large  factories  in  this 
city.  In  keeping  with  this  oinimistic  tone  are  the  government 
figures  available  to-day.  The  customs  collections  for  the  week 
ending  to-day,  totalling  $51,171.62,  these  figures  breaking  the 
record  for  weekly  collections  in  the  Tampa  customs  office.  The 
gain  over  the  same  week  last  year  is  $21,111.87.  Tobacco  re- 
ceipts from  Cuba  since  the  mid<lle  of  the  month  total  2.616 
bales,  making  a  total  of  5.i8f)  bales  received  since  .March   i. 

A.  Nistal,  vice  consul  of  Spain  and  general  manager  of 
I'isher,  Gonzales  &  Co..  is  back  from  Cuba,  where  he  has  been 
buying  tobacco  for  his  firm.  He  found  the  leaf  market  ruling 
strong  on  bad  crop  rei)orts,  and  found  wrappers  (juite  scarce. 

H  any  one  doubts  the  general  business  which  grows  up 
about  a  cigar  factory,  he  would  have  these  doubts  dispelled  if 
he  could  visit  the  secti<jn  of  this  city  where  the  Regeusburg 
factory  has  just  been  completed,  and  where  the  Sanchez  & 
1  laya  factory  is  nearing  completion.  Some  sixty  new  buildings 
are  going  up  around  these  factories,  stores,  cafes,  restaurants 
and  homes  for  the  employees. 

P.  C.  Schurler,  one  of  Cuesta,  Rey  &  Company's  genial 
representatives,  left  for  his  territory  in  the  Middle  States  dur- 
ing the  week. 

Celestino  Lopez,  of  Arguelles,  Lopez  &  l'.n)ther,  has  gone 
to  New  York.  Mr.  Lopez  left  about  the  middle  of  the  week, 
and  is  well  pleased  with  the  magnificent  business  his  firm  did 
the  past  winter,  and  is  quite  optimistic  over  the  outlook. 


L.  W  indmuller,  of  Chicago,  who  ha^  been  a  gue-st  .if  his 
son  Jerome,  of  Salvador,  Sanchez  ^:  Co.,  has  returned  to  hus 
home  in  the  W  iiuly  City. 

Simon  GtMizales,  of  the  firm  of  Sanchez  &  Haya,  will  re- 
turn from  Cuba  on  the  1'.  vS:  O.  steamer  to-morrow. 

Tancho  .\rango,  general  manager  of  the  .\merican  To- 
bacco Company,  is  in  Cuba  on  a  business  trip,  leaving  here  dur- 
ing the  week. 

April  5  is  the  date  of  the  tirst  white  niunicii)al  primary  for 
the  election  of  a  Mayor,  members  of  the  City  Council,  members 
of  the  Board  of  Lublic  W  orks,  and  other  otficers.  The  primary 
eliminates  the  negro  vote  completely,  and  the  campaign  is  at 
present  being  conducted  in  an  interesting  manner,  with  1 ).  1'.. 
.McKay,  editor  of  the  Tampa  lintcs;  Chief  of  Sanitali(»n  J.  .\. 
Holmes  and  ex-Mayor  W  .  H.  Erecker  in  the  race  for  the  may- 
oralty. .Mr.  McKay,  who  has  established  his  fnendship  for  the 
cigar  manufacturers  and  industry  in  many  ways— one  at  the 
risk  t>f  hi-,  life— is  the  leading  candidate,  and  liis  friends  be- 
lieve that  his  election  is  practically  assured.  I'.ecause  of  his 
work  for  the  industry  in  years  past,  .Mr.  .McKay  has  the  stn.ng 
support  of  practically  every  cigar  manufacturer  in  the  city,  if 
not  all  of  them. 

United   Cigar    Stores  Invite  Test. 

Jt  is  said  that  the  United  Cigar  Stores  Company  has  in- 
vited a  test  of  the  law  of  New  Hampshire  which  relates  to 
trading  stamps  and  designed  originally  to  protect  regular  busi- 
ness men  and  their  customers  from  the  old  trading  stam[) 
scheme.  The  United  Cigar  Stores  Company  contends  that 
their  gifts  to  customers  have  no  smack  of  gambling  about  them 
and  that  they  only  mean  to  give  their  patrons  such  benefits  that 
may  be  due  them  for  the  amount  of  their  patronage.  This  they 
term  "profit-sharing,"  and  the  custom  of  provision  dealers  in 
giving  boarding  house  keepers  and  other  large  buyers  some 
benefits  in  the  way  of  rates  between  the  strictly  wholesale  rates 
and  prices  which  small  retail  ilealers  pay,  is  cited. 

Trade  Items. 

Now  comes  Arkan.sas  to  the  front  and  .says  that  she  is  one 
of  the  fore  sections  of  the  United  States  atlapted  to  growing 
broad  leaf  white  Burley,  considered  an  admirable  crt>p  for  plug 
fillers. 

The  Gunnoude  &  Zurmuehen  CtJinpany,  of  321  S.  I4l!i 
street,  Omaha,  Neb.,  will  build  a  cigar  factory  in  that  city  to 
employ  100  men. 

The  Guarantee  Cigar  Company  has  incoriX)rated  at  Webb 
City,  Mo.,  with  a  capital  of  $10,000.  W.  O.  and  C.  E.  Miles 
and  S.  A.  Kenyer  are  mentioned  as  the  incorporators. 

The  Salvo  cigar  factory  at  Natchez,  .Miss.,  locatctl  in  South 
Commerce  street,  is  an  important  little  industry.  The  plant  has 
been  enlarged  and  improved  and  skilled  workmen  employed. 
The  chief  output  is  "Lady  \  iolet,  "  a  clear  Havana  cigar,  which 
sells  for  a  nickel. 

The  growth  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company's  cigar 
factory  at  Wilmington,  Del.,  afiords  employment  for  a  large 
number  of  people.  Just  now  the  company  is  calling  for  one 
thousand  young  women,  and  it  is  said  that  any  self-respecting 
young  girl  will  find  work  at  the  tobacco  factory  pleasant, 
cleanly  and  not  difficult  to  master.  Favorable  comment  is  heard 
on  the  standard  of  accommodations  which  the  American  To- 
bacco Company  has  adopted  for  the  comfort  of  their  em- 
ployees. 

The  Vaughan-Ware  Tobacco  Company  has  incorporated 
at  Richmond,  Va.,  to  sell,  manufacture  and  deal  in  tobacco; 
also  to  do  a  warehouse  business.  The  officers  are  I.  .\. 
Vaughan,  of  Richmond,  president;  F.  D.  Ware,  of  Norfolk, 
vice-president;  John  II.  Reed,  of  Richmond,  secretary  and 
treasurer.

the  same  denominations,  the  tax  is  mcreased  from  $3  to  $360 
per  thousand.  .  . 

According  to  the  new  law,  these  changes  in  the  rate  of 
tax  am)ly  to  packages  removed  from  the  bonded  premises  of 
factode    or  custom  houses  after  midnight  of  1""^  30  next

The  printing  of  the  caution  notice  and  brand  on  cartons 
in  lieu  of  the  stfmped  packages  contained  therein,  will  not  be 
allowed  after  July  i  next.

^^^  'I'lic  board  of  election  commissioners  have  held  the

"Wet"  or  "Dry"  question  on  the  ballot  at  the  coming  election.

Martinez-Havana  Company's  New   Factory. 

(TtTIHE  management  of  the  Martinez-Havana  Co.  at  Key 
I  I  j  West,  Fla.,  arc  watching  with  the  keenest  interest 
Is?^^  tlie  rapid  comi>letion  of  their  new  factory  building. 
^^^  which  is  promised  to  be  in  readiness  by  the  first  of 
May.  The  new  building  will  be  140  feet  long  by  50  feet  in 
width,  of  concrete  construction,  ornamental  in  its  character 
and  will  have  a  seating  capacity  for  S<xi  cigarmakers.  The 
building  is  to  be  constructed   in   an   L   shape   with   splendid 

office  (juarters 
and  thoroughly 
modern  accom- 
modations in  ev- 
ery respect.  The 
general  offices 
will  he  located  in 
the  L  part,  and 
the  ceilings  are 
high,  thus  giving 
perfect  ventila- 
tion. 

A  novel  idea 

View  of  the  Old  Factory  Destroyed  by  Hurncane  |^    construction    i> 

that  the  side  walls  will  be  carried  uj)  straight,  probably  six 
feet  above  the  point  where  the  arched  roof  joins  the  wall,  and 
thus  affording  unlimited  protection  against  any  such  a  hurri- 
cane as  visited  Key  West  last  October  and  which  very  nearly 
blew  the  city  off  the  map. 

We  reproduce  here  with  an  interesting  little  photograph 
of  the  ruins  of  the  Martinez-Havana  factory  as  it  appeared  in 
Key  West  on  the  day  after  the  hurricane,  October  11,  kxk). 
which  was  given  to  The  World  by  Mr.  Jose  Pumar,  man- 
ager of  the  factory  at  Key  West. 

Preparing  the  New  Manila  Stamps. 

W.ASiii.NGTON,  March  30.— Pursuant  to  the  directions  i.f 
General  Clarence  R.  Edwards,  chief  of  the  Ihireau  of  Insidar 
Affairs  of  the  War  Department,  modifying  the  "Oaulity 
Stamp"  on  exports  of  Philippine  cigars,  as  announced  recently 
in  The  Tobacco  World,  the  authorities  of  the  Philij)])ine  gov- 
ernment at  Manila  are  preparing  to  have  printed  a  new  issue 
embodying  the  changes  in  the  stamps  as  authorized  by  Gen- 
eral Edwards. 

Just  when  the  new  stamp  will  be  ready  for  distributmn 
cannot  be  predicted  by  the  officials  of  the  bureau  at  this  time, 
but  it  is  expected  that  the  presses  in  Manila  s(X)n  will  be  turn- 
ing out  the  new  issue. 

It  is  hoped  that  by  the  elimination  of  the  clause  certifying 
the  American  Government's  approval  of  the  fjuality  of  the 
goods,  the  objections  of  the  Cigar  .Manufacturers'  Association 
and  independent  manufacturers  will  be  met,  and  that  the 
abuses  alleged  to  have  resulted  from  the  aj)i)arcnt  guarantee 
by  the  United  States  Government  of  the  (juality  of  the  go«.ds 
exported  from  the  islands,  will  cease. 


Suit  Over  Cigarette  Labels. 

Suit  has  been  brought  against  the  People's  Tobacco  Com- 
pany, of  New  Orieans,  for  refusal  to  pay  for  five  million  Kot- 
ton  cigarette  labels.  The  contract  was  made  December  10, 
1908,  and  the  makers  say  they  delivered  the  labels  on  time. 
The  amount  claimed  is  $990. 

Secretary  Henry  Abrahams,  of  the  Poston  Cigarmakers' 
Union,  addressed  a  body  of  Methodist  preachers  there  the  other 
day  and  demonstrated  how  his  union  had  helped  the  poor.  He 
made  good  points  and  was  applauded  because  the  objects  of 
the  union  seem  to  be  on  rational  lines,  and  did  not  endorse 
the  use  of  dynamite  and  stones  and  fist  fights  as  a  means  to  ac- 
complish an  end.

Smoked  Until  tfie  Last,  What  ? 

Two  centenarians,  both  of  them  inveterate  smokers,  have 
died  recently.  Michael  I>eavitt,  of  Amherst,  N.  IF.  was  115 
years  old  when  he  died  and  was  described  as  "an  inveterate 
smoker".  Thomas  Sheridan,  who  died  in  his  T04th  year  in 
Chicago,  smoked  inveterately  for  more  than  qo  years.  These 
two  old  gentlemen  went  smiling  along  through  life  and  had  a 
time  of  it,  undoubtedly.  We  sincerely  trust  that  they  are  not 
smoking  now. 

New  Factory  for  "Old  Coon"  Cigars. 

ROVTDFNCK  has  always  been  proud  of  its  produc-

brand,  and  the  business  on  these  goods  has  grown  to 
such  proportions  that  the  Tluntoon  &  Gorham  Com- 
piiuy,  ])roprietors  of  the  factory,  are  now  erecting  a  big  addi- 
tion to  their  factory,  which,  when  completed,  as  hoped,  by 
next  Sei)tembcr,  will  give  them  just  double  tfieir  present  ca- 
pacity. 

The  new  addition  is  three  stories  high,  of  slow-burning 
brick  construction,  100  feet  long  by  40  feet  in  width,  and  when

To  Make  Manila  Cigars  Here. 

An  experiment  of  manufacturing  cigars  in  this  country 
from  Manila  leaf  tobacco  is  to  be  started  by  some  manufac- 
turers on  the  Pacific  Coast.  The  first  consignment  of  wrap- 
pers and  fillers  from  the  Philippines  has  reached  Kohlberg  & 
Co.,  San  Francisco  importers,  who  state  that  it  is  their  inten- 
tion to  blend  the  Manila  tobacco  with  domestic,  and  by  so 
doing  they  believe  that  they  can  turn  out  a  very  fine  cigar. 
Manufacturers  are  dubious  whether  Manila  cigars  can  be  made 
in  this  country  to  compete  against  the  cheap  labor  of  the  Far 
Fast.  

"During  the  past  two  weeks  seventy-five  Kentuckians,  who 
are  heads  of  families,  have  arrived  here  to  engage  in  tobacco 
growing.  A  colony  of  200  or  more  is  coming  to  grow  the 
weed."

Kkv  W'kst,  I'da.,  March  24. 

\\\\  most  important  event  of  the  cigar  business  for  the 
last  two  weeks  was  the  letting  of  the  contract  for  tlie 
new  Kuy  Fopez  factory.  A  descriptivMi  of  llie  buikl- 
ing  appeared  in  the  last  issue  of  this  paper.  Work 
has  already  coinmenced.  and  it  is  expected  that  the  factory 
will  be  rea<ly  for  occupancy  by  September  1. 

The  starting  of  actual  w<)rk  on  this  factory  means  much  to 
I\ev  West,  as  it  removes  beyond  a  shadow  of  »toubt  any  possi- 
hili'ly  of  this  imi)ortant  institution  leaving  here.  I'^ver  since 
the  hurricane  overtures  have  been  made  to  President  W  ardlow 
from  other  cities  with  a  view  of  having  him  locate  there.  He 
has  received  some  very  flattering  ofTers.  but  he  realizes  the 
many  advantages  this  city  has   Ua'  the  manufaclure  of  cigars 

and  will  remain  here. 

The  work  on  the  new  Martinez-T  favana  factory  is  rap- 
idly Hearing  completion  and  this  firm  expects  (o  he  in  its  new 
(|uarters  by  the  middle  of  May.  The  present  building  is  en- 
tirely inadec|uate,  and  when  tl'iey  get  into  the  new  building 
they  will  be  better  able  to  attend  to  the  numerous  orders  which 
thev  are  receiving  daily, 

Mr.  R.  Fernandez,  who  is  now  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  is 
sending  in  a  number  of  orders.  This  factory  is  one  of  the 
busiest  in  the  city  and  they  are  adding  to  the  force  of  cigar- 
makers  everv  week. 

The  Ferdinand  ITirsh  Company  are  doing  their  usual  good 
Inisiness.  Manager  Arnold  is  one  of  the  oldest  manufacturers 
in  Key  West.  Tie  conducts  a  model  factory,  which  is  noted 
throughout  the  trade  for  its  cleanliness  and  system.  Presi- 
dent J.  M.  P.atterton,  of  the  b>rdinand  llirsch  Company,  is 
expected  to  arrive  here  in  a  short  time  on  an  official  visit. 

At  the  Gato  factory  business  keeps  increasing  every  day. 
They  are  working  more'men  at  this  time  of  the  year  than  ever 
before.    They  are  increasing  daily. 

The  Cortez  Cigar  Company  reports  plenty  of  orders  and 
the  shipping  department  is  recjuired  to  work  late  at  night  in 
order  t(»  get  the  shipments  out.  , 

At  S.  Wolf's  Sons  the  usual  force  maintained  at  this  time 
of  the  vear  is  at  work  and  they  exi)ect  to  increase  in  the  very 
near  future.  This  firm  is  making  a  specialty  of  their  Fukos 
smoker,  which  thev  are  pushing  and  with  g<xid  results. 

The  visitors  of  the  last  two  weeks  were  Percy  Myers,  of 
the  Savannah  ..ftice  of  the  Cortez  Cigar  Company,  I'dadio  Mar- 
tinez, of  the  Martinez-Havana  Company,  and  John  IF  Cregor)-. 
of  New  Orleans.  Mr.  Gregory  was  one  of  the  pioneer  cigar 
manufacturers  of  Key  West.

The  7-20-4    Factory  at  Manchester. 

.*^  vou  leave  the  railroad  station  at  .Manclu-stor.  X.  IF. 
almost  the  first  thing  likely  to  attract  attenti<»u  is  the 
handsome  six-story  factory  of  R.  (1.  Sullivan,  whose 
7-20-4  cigars  are  among  the  best  known  and  best  sell- 
ing goods  not  only  of  New  I'ngland,  but  «»f  many  t»ther  sections 
of  the  L^nited  .States. 

Tt  was  in  December.  iJ<74.  that  Roger  Sullivan,  who  has 
lived  in  Manchester  since  cliiMli<»od.  started  making  cigars 
there  in  a  modest  way.  He  only  ina<le  5(VK)()  cigars  tluring  his 
first  year  at  the  business,  but  he  made  good  cigars — honest 
cigars,  full  value  for  the  ])rice,  and  the  cousuniers  learne«l  this 
fact  (|uicklv.  The  second  year  saw  an  increased  outi)ut.  and 
everv  vear  since  the  figures  have  been  growing. 

Noting  the  changing  taste  in  cigars,  in  1SS3.  Mr.  Sullivan 
adopted  the  7-20-4  brand  for  lo-cent  cigars  ami  substituted 
Sumatra  wrappers  for  the  previously  used  Connecticut  broad 
leaf.     Fast  year  his  factory  turned  out  2o.o<)o.(rKi  cigars. 

The  plant  as  it  is  to-day  was  only  built  a  short  time  since. 
Tt  stands  at  the  corner  of  \\'est  Central  an<l  Canal  streets,  is 
six  stories  high.  100  by  Qo  feet,  of  brick  with  stone  trimmings, 
and  shelters  about  500  hainF.  making  it  one  of  the  largest   10 
cent  union  cigar  factories  in  the  country. 

Some  idea  of  the  value  of  this  industry  to  M.inchestt-r  is 
obtained  when  it  is  considered  that  the  Sulliv.in  factory  paid 
out  over  $350,000  in  wages  last  year. 

Roger  G.  Sullivan,  the  sole  owner  of  the  business,  is  .1  fine 
example  of  the  New  Fngland  manufacturer.  Tall,  straight - 
limbed,  his  hair  just  touched  with  gray,  he  knf»ws  his  business, 
believes  in  his  cigars  and  his  efTorts  have  been  success  fid.

The  cigar  industry  at  Craleyville,  this  county,  seems  to 

be  at  a  standstill  at  the  present  time. 

A  large  tobacco  warehouse  of  George  Hahnemann,  a 
cigar  manufacturer  of  Newberrytown.  was  destroyed  by  fire 
on  the  i8th  inst.  Mr.  TTahneman  was  partially  covered  in  this

San  Telmo's  Plans  for  New   Factory. 
Big  Factory  Will  be  Erected   at  Detroit  to  Meet  Increased  Demand 

— Michigan  Trade  Report. 

Detroit,  ^Larch  28th,  19 10 

7jT|  1 1  b-  demand  for  cigars  and  tobacco  has  shown  no  change 
i  during  the  month,  manufacturers,  wholesalers  and  re- 

g^4jg'      tailers  continuing  to  rei)ort  a  good   trade  with   local 
^     stores  and  anticipating  a  good  trade  during  the  en.su- 
ing  .Spring  and  Summer  m<»nths. 

Tn  the  State,  manufacturers  and  whf)lesalers  expect  a  di- 
minished trade  following  the  Spring  elections,  the  belief  being 
that  Prohibitionists  will  carry  many  of  the  disputed  counties, 
thus  closing  hundreds  of  saloons.  Tbe  trade,  in  a  way,  will 
revert  to  legitimate  dealers,  but  there  will  still  be  some  l.»st 
when  the  reckoning  comes. 

Different  Detroit  cigar  manufacturers  report  overtime  in 
their  factories.  The  wholesalers  are  workhig  with  full  forces. 
Different  down-town  stores  are  decorated  in  observance  of  the 
Easter  .season,  and  a  good  trade  in  special  makes  is  reported. 
There  is  no  trouble  over  collections,  money  being  plentiful. 

The  San  Telmo  Company,  now  13  years  old.  has  com- 
pleted plans  for  the  erection  of  a  plant  at  Michigan  avenue  and 
35th  street,  which  will  employ,  when  running  full,  about  T.ooo 
cigarmakers.  The  company's  main  factory  is  at  540-55<5  ^^r- 
est  avenue,  and  1,500  girls  and  men  are  employed  there.  Tn 
addition  to  this  the  company  maintains  a  school  for  cigarmak- 
ers at  1527-1529  Michigan  avenue.  This  school  aims  to  build 
up  a  force  of  workmen  for  the  new  plant,  so  that  its  operation 
will  not  be  retarded  through  lack  of  cigarmakers.  The  new 
building  will  be  100  by  too  feet,  four  stories  high,  and  base- 
ment, mill  construction,  with  brick  walls  and  a  complete  sprink- 
ler system.  The  officers  are:  President  and  general  manager, 
Oscar  Rosenberger;  vice-president  and  superintendent,  Rich- 
ard TTelms:  secretarv'.  E.  J.  Newell:  treasurer,  Herbert  Weil. 
The  new  building  wiil  be  completed  about  June  t. 

The  John  J.  Bagley  &  Co.  let  a  contract  for  the  erection 
of  one  of' the  finest  tobacco  manufacturing  plants  in  the  coun- 
trv  at  an  outlav  of  not  less  than  $150,000.  The  main  plant  will 
be  a  building  six  stories  high,  of  steel  and  re-enforced  concrete, 
at  Warren  avenue  and  Dequindre  street. 

Although  one  of  the  youngest  concerns  of  its  kind  in  the 
Northern  part  of  the  State,  the  Escanaba  Cigar  Company  has 
already  taken  a  place  in  the  front  ranks  of  the  cigar  industry 
in  the  district.    Herman  Desilcts  is  manager  of  the  company. 

John  Kahlow  operates  one  of  the  finest  appointed  cigar 
factories  in  the  Northern  Peninsula  and  his  brands  of  cigars 
are  considerably  advertised  in  the  district.  He  has  been  in  the 
business  several  vears  and  his  plant  at  Escanaba  has  been  kept 
busy  through  the  Winter  and  Spring  months. 

Thomas  B.  Mellon,  for  20  years  employed  in  the  offices  of 
the  Daniel  Scotten  Tobacco  Company,  and  later  secretary  of  the 
Banner  Cigar  Company.  Detroit,  and  still  later  secretary  and 
manager  of  the  Independent  Cigar  Company,  and  after  that  in 
the  cigar  business  for  himself,  is  dead. 

James  B  Van  Vechten,  transportation  manager  for  the 
Board  of  Commerce,  appeared  before  the  Central  Freight  Clas- 
sification Committee,  in  Chicago,  recently,  in  the  interests  of 
Detroit  cigar  manufacturers.  The  committee  is  making  a  pre- 
liminaiT  hearing  before  reporting  to  the  general  classification 
meeting,  to  be  held  in  New  York. 

O  A  Gibbs.  for  a  number  of  years  employed  at  various 
Detroit  tobacco  houses,  has  resigned  his  position  to  write  m- 
surance.    Mr.  Gibbs'  health  has  been  failing  for  some  time. 

John  E  Turner  has  resigned  as  secretary  and  general  man- 
ager "of  the  Scotten  Tobacco  Company.  Detroit.  Mich.,  to  take 
effect  \pril  ist.  Tt  is  learned  that  Mr.  Turner  will  continue  in

Trade  Lacks  the  Vim  that  Was  Expected— Reports  from    Factories 

Lancaster,  Pa.,  March  30. 

-^  I  EPORTS  Iruni  various  sections  of  this  county  indicate 
fv|  that  while  the  cigar  business  is  moving  along  nicely 
there  is  lacking  tiie  vim  which  it  should  show  at  this 
time  of  the  year,  and  this  fact  will  be  demonstrated 
wlieii  the  returns  uf  the  sale  of  cigar  stamps  for  the  month  are 
made,  within  the  next  few  days.  A  majority  of  the  factories 
are  in  operation,  but  some  of  them  are  running  with  reduced 
forces.  Only  a  lew  of  the  very  large  establishments  are  ad- 
vertising fur  additional  help. 

An  intercbting  meeting  of  the  Lancaster  County  Tobacco 
(i rowers*  Association  was  held  on  Monday  a  week  last  at  the 
Stevens  House,  and  it  was  well  attended.  As  has  been  the  re-

lohn  P.  Weaver,  of  West  ikmpheld,  treated  the  subject  of

the  president  of  the  association,  read  a  paper  on  "What  Kind 
uf  I'crtihzer  is  Best  Adapted  to  Tobacco". 

It  was  decided  to  hold  meetings  in  various  places  in  the 
county  and  that  the  membership  might  be  increased. 

A  letter  from  Prof.  Frear,  of  the  State  College,  was  read,

at  W  illow  street,  and  the  other  on  a  farm  of  Samuel  Mumma, 
tobacco  grower  and  packer,  at  Landisville. 

John  S.  Weaver,  of  the  Glen  Mawr  seed  farms,  Kin- 
zer's,  has  received  a  letter  from  a  large  university  in  England 
relative  to  experimental  tobacco  work  in  India.  Such  work  is 
to  be  begun  and  tliis  college  has  charge  of  it.  Mr.  Weaver  was 
recommended  by  the  United  States  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture as  an  expert  along  these  lines  and  is  forwarding  a  number 
of  different  varieties  of  seed  with  instructions  for  growing  and 

Later  Mr.  Weaver  will  make  a  trip  to  Virginia  and  North 
Carolina  to  make  investigations  and  observations  on  cigarette 
and  smoking  tobaccos.  Two  years  ago  Mr.  Weaver  sent  cigar-

have  been  running  for  two  years  at  Baroda,  India. 

Walter  S  Bare,  cigar  manufacturer  at  Lititz,  underwent 
an  operation  at  the  St.  Joseph  Hospital  some  days  ago  and  is 
now  recovering.  This  is  the  second  time  that  Mr.  Bare  has 
been  under  the  knife  within  a  short  time,  and  his  many  friends 
hope  that  this  may  bring  hiin  permanent  relief.

11  PRE  are  indications  of  improvement  in  the  cigar  in- 
dustry  in   this   section.     During   the   past   two   weeks 
more  encouraging   reports   have   been   received    iroin 
Western  distributing  centers  ami  several  ol  the  k»cal 
houses  are  augmenting  their  forces. 

The  Fleck  Cigar  Company  has  been  busy  all  this  Si)nng 
utilizing  their  large  factory  to  its  full  capacity.  A  brisk  demand 
beems  to  exist  for  dieir  product  in  the  Alidtlle  West. 

John  G.  Spatz,  of  J.  G.  Spatz  &  Company,  has  returned 
from  a  Hying  trip  among  some  of  the  important  jobbing  houses. 
This  practically  concludes  Mr.  Spatz's  Spring  work  and  he  will 
now  devote  his  energy  more  largely  to  ot^ce  and  manulactur- 
ing  departments.  Their  "lleidelburg"  and  other  brands  ot 
high-grade  goods  are  enjoying  a  steadily  increasing  lucal  trade. 
A  new  cigar  store  was  recently  opened  at  51H  North 
Ninth  street  by  Thomas  Freeman. 

Although  work  had  progressed  ciuite  rapidly  on  the  re- 
modeling of  the  building  recently  acquired  by  W  .  W.  Stewart 
&  Sons,  at  Green  and  Cedar  streets,  it  can  hardly  be  completed 
in  time  for  the  firm  to  take  possession  on  April  1st.  Business 
is  now  opening  up  better  with  them  an.l  they  are  exceedingly 
anxious  to  get  into  the  new  building  as  early  as  possible. 

The  E.  E.  Kahler  Cigar  Company  have  lately  experienced 
improvement  in  their  trade,  and  a  lu.rmal  force  of  cigarmakers 
are  now  being  steadily  employed. 

J.  11.  Witter,  of  Newmaiistown.  has  purchased  a  property 
at  Kleinfeltersville  and  will  erect  a  new  cigar  factory  building 
on  the  site.  After  a  short  period  of  rather  dull  trade,  Mr. 
Witter  now  finds  orders  coming  more  rapidly,  and  which  will 
make  additional  facilities  very  desirable. 

Increase  in  Imported  Leaf  and  Cigars. 
Washington,  March  30.— There  was  a  slight  increase  in 
the  value  of  the  leaf  tobacco,  cigars  an.l  cigarettes,  etc..  im- 
ported into  the  United  States  during  the  month  of  I'ebruary, 
as  compared  with  the  same  in.  .nth  last  year,  according  to  the 
monthly  statement  of  the  Bureau  of  Statistics  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce  an<l  Labor,  just  issued. 

During  February  of  the  present  year  the  value  of  the  leaf 
tobacco  imix)rts  reached  the  total  of  two  and  seven-tenths 
million  dollars,  as  compared  with  a  total  of  two  an<l  four-tenths 
millions  for  Februarv.  n>o(;.  For  the  eight  months  ending  with 
February,  1910,  the  total  value  of  the  imi>orts  of  leaf  tobacco 
was  $18,000,000.  while  for  the  same  period  in  190J  the  total 
was  sixteen  and  eighth-tenths  millions. 

The  cigars,  cigarettes,  etc.,  imi)orted  during  bebruary, 
1910  were  valued  at  three-tenths  of  a  million  d<  .liars,  while 
for  the  month  of  h\'bruary.  lOOQ.  the  total  was  but  two-tenths 
of  a  million.  For  the  eight-month  period  ending  with  bebni- 
ary,  1910.  the  total  value  of  these  imports  was  two  and  six- 
tcnths  millions,  and  for  the  same  period  in  1909  the  total  was 
two  and  two-tenths  millions.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Pacific  Coast  Trade  Not  Satisfactory. 

lousiness  in  Cities    Quiet    but    Improved    in    Smaller  Towns        More 

Manilas  Arrive. 

San  Franc!SCo,  March  21. 

al\(  ).\I  all  ;u counts  tlurc  is  .sonictliing  seriously  the  mat- 
ter will)  tlic  retail  trade  in  San  I'Vancisco,  as  this  year's 
Inisines^  is  not  at  all  what  it  \^a^  expected  t(j  be.  The 
principal  reason,  very  likely,  is  that  the  expectaticjns 
were  t*",  high,  .some  interests  counting  on  the  pnxspect  of  a 
'•wi<le-open"'  town  to  increase  their  sale>.  Accordingly  things 
have  been  rather  overdone,  and  without  a  very  material  increase 
Ml  the  actual  nunibir  of  cigars  smoke<l  there  is  bound  to  be 
complaint  somewhere.  Jobbers  slate  that  local  collections  are 
still  slow,  esi)ecially  with  the  saloon  trade,  which  is  not  what 
it  should  be  in   volume. 

Ihisiness  in  the  smaller  towns  of  California,  however,  is 
very  encouraging,  outside  collections  being  very  satistactor> , 
while  the  increasmg  volume  of  business  more  than  offsets  any 
dullness  in  the  city.  J«)bbers  count  on  a  very  active  country 
trade  up  to  the  beginning  of  the  warm  weatiier,  when  sales 
usually  (juiet  <lown,  and  there  is  every  sign  of  prosperity  in  the 
interior.  'Jhe  raiti  this  week  is  just  what  was  needed  in  the 
agricultural  districts,  where  there  was  a  little  nervousness  over 
the  lack  (»f  moisture  in  h'ebruary.  Jiy  next  fall,  it  is  hoped  that 
the  local  trade  will  begin  the  forward  UKJvement  which  has 
been    long  expected. 

Large  shiiMiients  <jf  Manila  cigars  arrived  here  about  the 
mid<lle  of  the  month,  as  expected,  and  the  local  dealers  in  that 
line  are  now  busy  with  the  distributiijn  of  the  goods.  The  re- 
tail ilemand  in  this  line  in  the  larger  cities  of  the  Coast  is 
cjuieling  down,  and  it  is  necessary  to  dispose  of  larger  quanti- 
ties of  the  goods  on  b'astern  markets,  but  from  all  reports  the 
importers  have  without  difhculty  dispo.sed  of  all  they  could 
get.  in  additiou  to  the  large  shijMnent  to  this  city,  a  cargo  of 
nearly  75o,chh)  has  arrived  at  Seattle,  most  of  them  being  to 
Castle  i:n»s.-\\olf  ^S:  Sons,  of  this  city.  The  greater  part  of 
this  .shipment  will  be  sent  directly  Juist  from  Seattle.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  cigars,  Kohlberg  vS:  Co.,  of  this  city,  have  received  a 
large  lot  of  Manila  leaf,  which  they  expect  to  make  up  locally 
by  union  labor.  Thyy  are  prepared  to  do  experimental  work  in 
this  line,  and  believe  that  by  blending  the  Manila  with  other 
leaf  they  can  produce  an  article  far  superior  to  the  cigars  im- 
ported from  the  Orient,  and  more  acceptable  to  the  American 
smoker. 

J^dward  Wolf,  of  the  ICdward  Wolf  Company,  returned  a 
few  days  ago  from  his  long  trip  in  the  East,  but  left  immc- 
<liately  for  the  intericn-  of  California  to  look  after  the  distri- 
bution of  his  Havana  lines.  1  le  is  well  satisfied  with  the  results 
of  his  visit  to  New  N'ork.  where  he  took  orders  for  about  2,500,- 
(KXJ  Manila  cigars  and  ma<le  C(»nnections  which  he  believes  will 
alTord  a  permanent  outlet.  The  company  is  now  carrying  a 
very  large  stock  of  Manila  goods,  and  is  in  a  position  to  fdl  all 
orders,  but  expects  to  dispose  of  everything  on  hand  before 
the  next  lot  comes  in. 

W.  II.  Wolf,  of  Castle  Ih-os.-Wolf  &  Sons,  has  also  re- 
tiUMied  from  the  I'^ast,  after  making  arrangements  for  large 
shipments  in  that  direction,  lie  is  already  getting  many  re- 
peat orders,  and  has  no  doubt  that  the  business  from  now  on 
will  be  on  a  staple  basis. 

The  cigar  factory  of  Charles  TTarhaugh,  at  Salinas,  Cal., 
was  «k'st roved  by  fire  early  this  month.  Loss,  $4,000,  with 
$2.(xx)  insurance. 

The  Lopez-Carcia  Cigar  Company  has  been  incorporated 
in  Sail  iM-ancisco,  with  a  cajMtal  stock  of  $10,000,  by  L.  W. 
Martin,  James  Roche  and  K.  Cartmel. 

John  \\.  Lovell  will  start  a  small  cigar  factory  at  San  Ra- 
fael, tal..  where  he  believes  there  is  a  good  opening. 


•    M.  .\.  Cunst,  of  M.  A.  Cunst  &  Co.,  is  now  in  New  York 
to  superintend  the  oi)eiiing  of  a  new  retail  establishment. 

J<.  .M.  Lllis,  representing  .Melachrino  &  Co.,  has  returned 
from  a  trip  around  the  world. 

The  shipping  season  for  Alaska  is  now  abDut  to  open,  and 
local  jobbers  are  looking  for  considerable  bu^^iness  from  that 
<|uarter.  During  the  height  of  the  mining  excitement  Alaska 
was  a  factor  of  great  importance  to  the  jobbers  here  and  at 
Seattle,  and  is  now  coming  to  the  front  again,  though  the  busi- 
ness is  on  a  more  conservative  basis  than  in  former  years. 

A.  AL  Beebe,  Coast  representative  of  F.  Garcia  &  Bros., 
has  returned  from  a  visit  to  the  trade  in  the  Northwest. 

Paul  Condax,  of  the  E.  A.  Condax  Cigarette  Company, 
visited  San  Francisco  early  this  month.  Charles  Rawak,  who 
has  been  representing  the  company  on  the  Coast,  has  resigned. 

A.  Strauss,  of  Celestino  Vega  &  Co.,  spent  a  few  days  in 
San  hrancisco  last  week,  accompanied  by  his  family.  H.  Ki- 
naldo  &  Co.  have  been  handling  his  line,  'l.a  Venga,"  here  for 
some  time  pa.st,  and  Mr.  Strauss  expresses  himself  as  well 
pleased  with  the  trade  that  has  developed.  T.  \:>.  Becker  has 
been  placed  here  as  Coast  traveling  representative,  and  is  mak- 
ing his  liead(iuarters  with  ii.  Rinaldo  &  Co. 

M.  Bla-skower,  of  M.  Blaskower  &  Co.,  has  been  ill  for 
some  time  pa.st,  but  is  now  well  on  the  way  to  recovery. 

The  hMward  Wolf  Company  is  expecting  a  visit  next  week 
from  11.  Anton  Bock,  who^e  line,  "Don  Antonio,"  has  been 
well  known  as  one  of  their  leaders. 

Tillman  &  Bendel  have  been  working  on  the  introduction 
of  the  "El  Jienedicto"  brand,  a  broad  leaf  wrapper  cigar  of 
T.  J.  Dunn  &  Co.,  and  report  that  this  line  has  been  placed 
with  many  retailers  throughout  the  State. 

Sol  Arkush,  representative  of  the  Martinez-1  lavana  Com- 
pany, is  expected  in  a  few  days  from  Salt  Lake,  where  he  has 
been  calling  on  the  trade. 

Max  Silverthau  is  now  in  the  city  representing  a   Torto 

Rico  line. 

Charles  If.  Knubel,  rei)resentative  of  the  Salvador  Rodri- 
guez and  Charles  the  Great  lines,  has  returned  from  a  trip  I'Last. 

A.  Czaniecki,  one  of  the  old-time  retailers,  reports  consid- 
erable improvement  at  his  stand  at  Montgomery  and  Wash- 
ington streets,  where  he  has  been  located  sinct  the  fire.  He  is 
now  getting  consideral)le  business  in  a  jobbing  way. 

I.  Danziger,  Coast  representative  of  W  ertheimer  Bros., 
has  returned  from  a  trii)  through  the  Northwest,  in  c(jmpany 
with  Sam  Wertheimer.  He  reports  a  large  business  all  along 
the  route,  and  is  now  getting  in  quite  a  numr)er  of  duplicate 
orders. 


The  food  qualities  of  tobacco  are  strikingly  illustrated  in 
the  case  of  R.  McCauley,  who,  according  to  a  press  dispatch, 
subsisted  on  tobacco  for  nearly  a  week.  McCauley  and  his 
family  were  left  in  a  destitute  condition  without  food  or  a 
home.  They  rigged  up  a  tent  near  La  Salle,  Conn.,  and  their 
only  stock  of  provisions  consisted  of  tobacco.  They  appeased 
their  hunger  on  this  by  chewing  and  smoking,  until  the  charity 
authorities  intervened  and  placed  the  three  children  in  a  State 
home. 


The  Golden  Cigar  Company,  at  Evansville,  Ind.,  has  in- 
creased its  capital  stock  from  $20,000  to  $30,000.  The  officers

Haas,  Max  Meyer  and  H.  F.  Barenberg,  secretary  and  treas- 
urer.' It  is  stated  that  the  company  expect  to  erect  a  large 
Iniilding  in  the  near  future  to  be  devoted  to  the  manufacture  of 
cigars.

NEW  YORK. 

Xkvv  ^'()RK  City. 

There  has  been  continued  sluggishness  in  the  leaf  tobacco  market 

(luring   the   past   two   weeks.     Late   advices   are  to  the   effect   that    in- 

(juiries  seem  to  be  getting  a  little  stronger,  but   up  to  this  time  there 

is  little  evidence  of  an  actual  buying  movement  by  cigar  manufacturers. 

Reports  from  the  growing  centers  are  not  much  more  encouraging 
than  they  were  earlier  in  the  Spring,  and  prices,  if  anything,  have  re- 
ceded Somewhat   for  such  crops  as  remain  unsold. 

.\  considerable  activity  has  prevailed  in  the  Sumatra  market, 
(otulitions  have,  no  doubt,  been  augmented  by  the  recent  reports  from 
Amsterdam  of  the  new  goods,  and  which  has  resulted  in  considerable 
activity  in  the  procurement  by  manufacturers  of  larger  supplies  of 
li^ht  wrappers,  and  it  is  now  stated  that  the  market  is  being  rapidly 
bared  of  this  class  of  old  goods.  It  was  quite  natural  to  expect  that 
prices  would  also  stiffen,  which  they  have. 

There  has  been  nothing  of  special  interest  transpire  in  the  Ha- 
vana market.  The  report  from  Cuba  that  the  crop  will  be  very  short 
and  withal  the  quality  will  not  be  of  the  very  best,  seems  no  to  have 
lia«i  unich  of  an  effect  on  market  conditions  thus  far.  Withdrawals 
I  roll!  Ixinded  warehouses  have  been  about  normal. 


PENNSYLVANIA. 

l*HiL.\ui:Li'm.\. 

Wry  little  improvement  is  quoted  in  the  Philadelphia  trade.  Of- 
ferings of  sufficient  supplies  have  been  made  to  meet  all  demands,  and 
if  anything  prices  have  shown  a  slightly  ui)war(l  tendency.  There 
have  been  sales  of  smaller  lots  of  leat  right  along,  but  in  its  aggregate 
it  can  hardly  be  considered  a  normal  amount  of  business.  Hut  for  lo- 
cal disturbances  the  cigar  induslr}  would  seetn  to  be  in  a  fair  condi- 
tion and,  in  consequence,  the  leaf  tobacco  men  continue  to,  at  least, 
feel  hopeful  of  an  improvement  in  the  near  future.  A  moderate  de- 
mand has  been  existing  for  Havana  leaf,  and  although  no  specially 
large  sales  have  been  made,  prices  are  being  lirndy  maintained. 

.\otwithstanding    that    the    recent    reports    from    Amsterdam    are 
anything  but  encouraging,  there  appears  to  have  been  no  special  activ- 
ity to  acquire  large  holdings  of  old  goods,  of  which  there  are  still  some 
.ipplies  in  this  market. 

Lancaster. 

Considerable  activity  developed  recently  in  buying  the  new  crop, 
and  it  seems  that  both  buyer  and  grower  were  anxious  to  conclude 
operations  with  the  result  that  during  the  past  two  weeks  there  was 
probably  more  tobacco  bought  than  during  any  corresponding  period 
of  the  present  season.  It  is  intimated  that  several  of  the  larger  factors 
r.t  buying  have  now  eliminated  themselves  completely.  In  consecjuenc* 
of  this  prices  seem  to  have  taken  a  still  further  drop.  There  will  be  a 
sale  for  all  the  tobacco  grown,  provided  farmers  will  accept  for  it  a 
price  which  will  enable  local  packers  to  handle  it.  More  than  50  per 
cent,  of  the  new  crop  is  believed  to  have  been  contracted  for. 

York. 

The  leaf  tobacco  men  report  that  cigar  manufacturers  are  still  buy- 
ing most  s|)aringly  of  old  goods.  Of  the  new  crops  the  buying  move- 
iiuiit  has  not  progressed  very  rapidly  and  fartners  in  the  vicinity  of 
the  Druck  Valley,  where  some  of  the  linest  leaf  of  the  county  is  grown, 
are  still  awaiting  an  acceptable  offer  for  their  crops. 


WISCONSIN. 

ElKiKRTON. 

With  a  great  improvement  in  the  condition  of  country  roads,  the 
farmers'  great  handicap  in  delivering  tobacoos,  has  been  relieved.  Re- 
ceiving is  being  hurried  along  now  as  rapidly  as  possible.  It  is  esti- 
mated that  probably  75  per  cent,  of  the  goods  bought  are  already  de- 
livered to  the  various  warehouses,  where  the  actual  work  of  handhng 
is  well  under  way.  The  market  has  shown  little  encouragement  in  the 
way  of  increased  demand  for  old  goods.  Complaints  continue  to  come 
from  Kastern  centers,  and  the  local  business  has  also  been  of  a  small 
nature. 

JANESVILL^:. 

Local  warehouses  are  fairly  active,  and  now  that  the  couritry  roads 
are  in  a  better  condition  tobaccos  are  coming  in  at  a  more  lively  rate. 
Several  of  the  Janesville  warehouses  are  in  active  ojjeratioii.  but  ship- 
ments of  old  goods  from  this  point  continue  small. 

A  lot  of  poor  tobacco  seed  was  harvested  last  fall,  and  the  already 


low  vitality  was  still  more  greatly  reduced  by  frosts,  which  makes  it 
particularly  desirable  for  t«d)acco  growers  to  put  their  seed  this  year  to 
a  special  lest,  and  carefully  s«.parating  tlu-  go. .d  from  the  inferior. 

STOCiillTON. 

.\fter  a  number  of  weeks  of  almost  impassable  ro.ids.  farmers  ;ire 
now  making  haste  in  delivering  their  crops,  but  much  tobacco  still  re- 
maius  to  be  sorted  which  was  already  contracted  for  durini-  the  Win 
ter.  and  even  earlier. 

Some  few  .sales  of  iQoy  goods  were  recently  consummated  at  S  and  J 
cents  per  pound  in  the  bundle,  and  it  was  fair  goods.  The  yieM  being 
fairly  heavy,  farmers  are  still  realizing  a  pretty  fair  price  per  acre  for 

their  crop. 


NEW  ENGLAND. 


llAKTKokn.  Conn. 


Tobacco  raisers  are  not  feeling  very  kindly  t<»ward  the  buyers, 
who  earlier  in  the  season  bought  crops  and  are  now  asking  farmers 
to  accept  a  reduction.  It  is  stated  that  in  some  instances  these  de- 
ductions amount  to  several  hundred  dollars  on  larger  crops.  I'ariiurs 
claim  that  they  are  powerless  to  do  anything  but  accept  the  otTers  now 
made,  because  they  must  move  their  crops  in  order  to  realize  the 
money  necessary  to  be  paid  for  fertilizers  and  other  expenses  which 
will  now   soon  be  incurred. 

The  suit  of  1.  Surkovice  &  Company,  of  Xew  York,  against  W'.  II. 
.Strong,  of  Simsbury,  was  on  trial  last  week  in  the  C  ourt  of  (  ••mmon 
Pleas  before  Judge  John  Coates.  The  plaintitTs  seek  to  recover  dam 
ages  of  $500,  because  of  the  alleged  f.iilnre  of  the  defeii<lant  to  de- 
liver certain  tobaccos  which  tiiey  had  bought  of  him.  The  defendant, 
however,  made  a  denial  of  the  allegations  of  the  complainant.  The 
plaintiff  was  awarded  $75  damages  and  costs.  The  case,  it  is  >aid.  will 
be  appealed  by  Mr.  Strong. 

SiFum.n,  Conn. 

In  spite  of  the  lateness  of  the  season,  tobacco  buyers  are  still  at 
work,  and  fre(iuently  sales  .ire  reported,  but  at  prices  at  much  below 
those  at  the  beginning  of  the  season.  This  is  due  to  the  fait  th.it  most 
of  the  warehouses  have  tobacco  enough  to  keep  them  f^oing  as  lonn  as 
the  men  can  be  kept  in  doors  and  goods  must  be  bouf^ht  low  enough 
to  pay  for  extra  help  which  will  be  reipiired  to  push  the  work  through 
later  on.  Farmers  do  not  api)ear  to  have  lost  courage  over  the  lower 
prices  they  have  received  and  are  preparing  to  raise  about  the  same 
amount  in  acreage  this  year. 

Last  Hartkoki*.  Conn. 

There  is  promised  this  year  a  large  increase  in  the  acreage  of 
shade-grown  tobacco;  one  tobacco  growing  coinp.iny  will  ad<l  forty 
acres  to  its  i)lantation  in  .Simsbury.  making  over  J50  acres  to  be  vjrowii 
under  shade.  Other  growers  have  also  made  arrangements  to  increase 
their   acreage.

Ili:i<l':  arc  very  tew  incnibcrs  of  the  cigar  trade  who 
have  ever  given  very  niiicli  thought  tu  the  intricacies, 
ingenuity  and  eare  which  it  is  necessary  for  tlie  suc- 
cessful cigar  l>o.\  manufacturer  to  possess  a  full 
knowledge  of,  and  in  the  sin(jking  world  there  is,  perhaps, 
much  less  known  of  the  many  interesting  branches  of  mdustry 
called  into  being  by  the  fascniating  weed. 

The  cigar  smoker  could  well  wonder  how  much  of  what 
lie  i)ays  for  his  smoke  goes  into  the  box  and  the  lithi^graplied 
label  and  the  gilt  bands  and  the  like.   The  cigar  box  containmg 
lifty  cigars  would  cost  anywhere  from  S'A  ^^  ^  ^^'"^^^  accord- 
mg  tM  what  it  is  made  of,  and  yet  that  would  be  without  cnmt- 
ing  the  labels  and  brands,  or  anything  but  the  plain  wood  and 
uads  and  labor  expended  in  the  making  of  the  box.    Jt  has  been 
variously  estimated  that  the  cost  of  the  cigar  boxes  used  m  the 
I  nited  States  is  placed  at  nearly  $0,ooo,cx)O— and  with  the  ex- 
eeplK.n  of  a  comparatively  few  boxes  which  are  sent  to  Cuba, 
this  production  is  used  entirely  in  the  United  States.   This  out- 
pnt.  ..f  course,  refers  to  wooden  boxes  exclusively,  and  does  not 
Mulude  pastelMKird  boxes  used  for  certain  kinds  of  cigar  prod- 
iKls    cigarettes  and  little  cigars.    Of  this  volume  of  busmess 
I'ennsylvania  is  credited   with  about  J?i,f)0(),ooo,— and   withm 
the  conhnes  of  her  border  are  employed  about  i,()00  people  m 
the  cigar  box  in<lustry.     It  will  be  observed  that  the  produc- 
tion <»f  cigar  boxes  in  the  Keystone  State  is  more  than  one- 
hfth  of  the  total,  and  nu  other  State  makes  so  many,  although 
New  York  State  is  a  close  second. 

liiK  Kind  ok  Wckjd  Uskd. 

The  am(»unt  of  lumber  consumed  annually  in  the  manu- 
facture «.f  cigar  boxes  reaches  an  inmiense  total  in  its  thou- 
sands of  s(|uare  feet  surface,  and  a  considerable  porti(jn  of  it, 
especially  ce<Iar,  is  imp.irted,  yet  the  American  forests  are  being 
rapiilly  deplete<l  in  the  (|uest  of  sutl^cicnt  supplies  of  poplar  and 
,,ther  suitable  lumber  f..r  the  cigar  b.)x  in.lustry.    Much  of  the 
p,,plar  lumber  is,  of  curse,  veneered  on  the  one  side,  while  still 
a  great  deal  m«»re  is  stained  to  imitate  cedar.    In  the  latter  case 
the  wood  is  i)rinted  in  imitation  of  cedar  by  the  use  of  ink  of 
•I  certain  col,.r.  and  an  especially  constructed  maclune  which 
carries  a  printing  roller  on  which  are  the  lines  to  resemble  the 
graining  of  ce<lar  w«M>d.     .\Ith..ugh  a   very  small  amount  of 
wood  is  needed  in  the  making  of  any  one  box,  it  is,  neverthe- 
less  a  little  cheaper  to  use  the  veneered  poplar  or  the  mutation 
cedar  than  it  is  t.»  use  the  genuine  article,  hence  the  sale  of  these 
boxes. 

Ma(  IIINKRY   SaVK.S   Wa.STK. 

These  prices,  reasonable  though  they  seem,  are  only  made 
|M)Ssible  by  the  use  of  intricate  machinery,  and  the  skillful  sub- 
division «.'f  labor;  and  it  is  als«)  impc.rtant  to  waste  as  little  of 
the  material  as  possible,  b'or  this  purpose  cig«r  box  lumber  is 
reduced  to  certain  tliicknesses,  and  is  not  sawed  from  the  log, 
but  sliced  or  split  bv  special  machinery.  The  immense  pressure 
used  in  the  veneeriiig  woo<l  for  the  manufacture  of  furniture 
is  not  used  in  the  manufacture  of  cigar  box  lumber,  and  the 
veneered  slabs,  which  are  pretty  well  warped  and  twisted  at 
first,  are  straightened  out  and  dried  simply  by  passing  through 


rollers.  Then  the  slabs  are  taken  to  the  sawmg  table,  where 
they  are  ripped  and  cross-sawed — from  five  to  ten  in  one  cut — 
into  pieces  of  proper  dimensions  for  the  single  boxes  which  are 
being  made.  In  fact,  the  preparation  of  such  prepared  di- 
mensioned lumber  is  being  specialized  by  several  large  estab- 
lishments, and  the  industry  has  become  even  juite  important 
in  i'hiladeli)hia.  'Ihence  the  pieces  are  sent  to  an  inspector 
wlu),  besides  examining  each  and  sorting  those  which  are  im- 
perfect, makes  separate  piles,  containing  the  same  number  in 
each,  of  ends,  sides,  bottoms  and  tcjps. 

How  IJoxKs  Akk  .Madi:. 

The  ends  and  sides  are  nailed  together  in  frames  by  one 
machine  and  the  bottoms  are  nailed  on  by  another.    These  ma- 
chines are  fed  with  nails  by  an  automatic  arrangement  which 
presents  a  number  of  them  at  one  stroke,  an<l  on  stroke  does 
the  business  of  nailing  at  each  corner  aiul  one  stroke  also  suf- 
fices for  the  bottom,  the  nails  being  pushed  in  rather  than  ham- 
mered.   One  of  these  modern  machines  will  turn  out  5,000  b()X 
frames  a  day,  and  two  machines,  when  worked  together,  will 
turn  out  10,000  boxes  so  far  as  the  framework  and  nailing  is 
concerned.     The  lid   of   the   cigar   box   is  held  in  place  by  the 
glueing  oi  a  narrow  strip  of  muslin,  after  which  the  edging, 
lining,  and  labels  are  affixed  by  pasting.   Tiny  metal  hinges  are 
sometimes  put  upon  cigar  boxes,  but  they  are  empU^yed  more 
generally  for  sample  or  ornamental  boxes.    Dove-tailed  boxes 
can,  of  course,  also  be  had,  but  they  are  necessarily  a  little 
more  expensive,  and  are  therefore  not  so  commonly  used. 


Manufacturers'  Rep>orts. 

Detroit. 

The  demand  for  cigar  boxes  has  shown  strong  during  the 
last  two  weeks  and  factories  in  different  parts  of  the  city  are 
running  full.  Local  railroads  rqx.rt  a  clearing  up  in  the  freight 
situation,  and  no  dimculty  is  experienced  in  getting  consign- 
ments away  on  time.     Lumber  is  plentiful  and  prices  are  stifTen- 

ing 

New  York  City. 

The  IL  W.  Ehrichs  Company  reported  (juiet  trade  condi- 
tions, with  but  a  moderate  demand  and  no  inquiries  beyond 
what' is  actually  required.  Trade  conditions  generally  are  at  a 
low  ebb,  but  consumers  are  continuing  to  operate  in  a  moderate 
way  thus  keeping  the  box  manufacturers  going  along  at  a  slow 
pace  The  outlook  as  regarded  by  them  is  rather  uncertain,  but 
they  seem  to  be  still  hopeful  that  business  will  increa.se  as  the 
season  advances. 

It  is  the  concensus  of  opinion  among  box  manufacturers 
in  New  Y'ork  that  the  demand  is  restricted  largely  to  the  local 
consumers  and  that  prices  are  not  (|uite  satisfactory  from  the 
box  makers'  standpoint.     They  seem  to  be  looking  forward  to 

Aoril  for  a  better  business  condition. 
•  Cincinnati. 

The  old  Roth,  P.ruener  &  I<eist  Cigar  Company  building, 
on  West  iMHirth  street,  is  now  being  occupied  by  Spector  P.roth- 
ers  who  have  opened  a  new  cigar  manufacturing  plant,  and 
this  has  given  an  additional  ray  of  hope  to  the  l)ox  makers,  since 
the  f^rm  is  expecting  to  employ  about  300  hands  as  soon  as  they 
can  be  secured.

in  addition  to  this,  it  is  stated  that  there  is  also  a  prospect 
of  having  another  cigar  manufacturing  establishment  located 
in  C  incinnati.  I'he  nimor  comes  from  Indianapolis  that  to- 
bacco men  are  incorporating  a  company  to  manufacture  cigar- 
and  that  they  are  considering  locating  in  Cincinnati. 

judging  from  rei>orts  given  out  by  local  box  makers  there 
would  seem  to  be  a  very  fair  business  just  now  in  Cinciniiati. 
and  all  box  factories  are  operating  with  a  fully  normal  force. 

Pinr.ADKi.rniA. 

liox  makers  of  the  Ouaker  City  report  that  during  the  past 
month  a  steady  imi)rovement  was  shown,  and  they  are  looking 
forward  to  a  steadily  increasing  business.  The  lumber  situa- 
tion is  also  said  to  be  in  a  fair  condition  and  that  not  mucli 
difficulty  is  being  ex|)erienced  in  securing  a  sut^cient.  if  :i->t 
j)lentiful,  supply  at  reasonable  prices.

Cigar  Box  Men  Meet. 


Till*'  (|uarterly  meeting  of  the  Western  Cigar  I'.ox  Man- 
ufacturers' Association,  which  was  hel<l  at  the  Audi- 
torium Hr)tel  in  Chicago  in  IVbruary,  was  well  at- 
tended and  was  pronounced  a  very  successful  gath- 
ering. The  elucidation  of  general  trade  conditions  proved 
highly  profitable  to  all  those  in  attendance,  and  it  was  fully 
evidenced  that  a  more  hopeful  feeling  was  beginning  to  pre- 
vail. Many  matters  of  a  technical  nature  were  also  fully  «lis- 
cussed,  and  all  were  convinced  that  the  matter  of  cost-account- 
ing was  of  paramount  importance.  The  interest  of  those  gath- 
ered was  most  attentively  held  during  all  <^f  the  several  discus- 
sions. A  disposition  was  shown  to  fully  divulge  all  the  infor- 
mation possible  to  make  the  consideration  of  the  important 
problems  concisive. 

SiiEip  Sent  His  Rfcrets. 

A  letter  received  from  H.  11.  Sheip,  the  well-known  man- 
ufacturer of  Philadelphia,  was  read,  as  follows: 

"To  The  Wc.'itoni  Cigar  liox  M.inufacturtTs'  Associatioti.  Chi- 
cago, 
"ficntlcnicn  :  I  regret  very  much,  ituleed.  that  I  shall  not 
Ik-  able  to  be  with  yon  (hiring  the  meeting.  1  remember  the  de- 
lightful time  I  had  with  you  last  sutnmer.  and  if  it  were  possi- 
ble I  should  greatly  enjoy  the  hospitality  which  you  so  lavishly 
bestow  upon  all.  1  hope  your  meeting  will  be  a  great  success 
in  every  way. 

"Business  is  beginning  to  pick  up  very  nicely,  and  I  believe 
if  we  have  contimied  good  weather,  we  shall  also  have  a  good 
spring  trade.  1  hereby  send  you  my  heartiest  congratuLitions, 
and  with  best  wishes.  I  remain. 

"Yours  sincerely.

The  Quality  of  Savarona  Cigars 

We  have  many  strong  and   convincing  points  that  we  could  bring  out  about  our 

SAVARONAS,  such  as 

Tropical  Climate  and  Soil  like  Cuba  Our  Own  Modern  Factories 

Plantations  in  the  Best  Districts  of  Porto  Rico  Highly  Skilled  Labor  and  Efficient  Management 

High  Grade  Tobacco  No  Duty  to  Pay  on  the  Cigars 

More  Profit  to  the  Dealer  and  Jobber 

in  all  these  points  we  have  marked  superiority.  The  point  we  want  to  emphasize  however  is 
the  Quality.  Pass  over  all  the  above  arguments,  but  try  the  smoking  quality  of  SAVARONAS  with  any 
other  cigar.  Smoke  them  together,  or  one  after  the  other,  compare  them  in  any  way  you  like  with  an  unbiased 
mind,  and  you  will  find  the  quality  is  there. 

The  smoking  test  is  the  only  one.     We  will  be  glad  to  send  samples  to  any  Jobber  to  test.

OU  may  think  all  Porto  Rican  Cigars  are 
alike;  as  if  they  grew  on  the  bushes  down 
there  and  that  the  only  difference  is  the 
nstme  of  the  concern  that  picks  them. 

^  I  tell  you  that  the  only  way  good  Cigars  can  be 
made  in  Porto  Rico  or  anywhere  else  is  by  using  good 
tobacco,  and  giving  close  and  intelligent  and  persistent 
attention  to  the  business. 

^  That*s  the  way  SAVARONAS  have  been  made. 

^  We  have  steadily  improved  all  our  facilities.  We 
own  emd  operate  our  plantations  and  factories  and  sell 
only  our  own  product.  Our  success  has  been  won  by 
hard  conscientious  work  and  by  the  application  of 
brains  to  that  work. 

^  Don't  you  want  to  see  the  result? 

^  Send  for  SAVARONAS  and  then  apply  our  meth- 
ods in  your  distribution  of  them,  and  see  what  a  busi- 
ness you  build  up.    We'll  help  you.

Argument  on  the  Frishmuth  Suit 

American  Tobacco  Co.,  Fail  to  Obtain  Postponement — Hearing  on 

Demurrer  April  22 

f  D  1  (>ST1X)\KMKXT  of  the  suit  brought  by  Frishmuth 
[j^  ''ros.  &  Company,  independent  tobacco  manufactur- 
feS^  <-'rs,  IMiiladelphia,  against  the  American  Tobacco  Com- 
pany, having  been  tlenied,  the  argument  on  the 
demurrer  will  be  heard  in  the  LJ.  S.  Court  for  the  Southern  Dis- 
trict of  Xew  York,  on  April  22nd.  The  American  Tobacco 
Company  desired  that  argument  be  delayed  until  after  the 
decree  in  the  case  of  the  Government  against  them  had  been 
handed  down,  but  this  motion  has  been  denied  and  the  case 
will  now  be  brought  to  a  focus. 

I'he  tobacco  trade  is  familiar  with  the  circumstances  lead- 
ing to  the  suit  of  the  Frishmuth  Company  for  triple  damages 
under  the  Sherman  anti-trust  law,  because  of  the  alleged  ma- 
nipulation of  the  licjuorice  market  to  the  injury  of  the  Frish- 
nuith  business.  'J1ie  Frishmuth  claim  resuUing  from  loss  by 
paying  a  too  exorbitant  price  for  liciuorice  amounts,  approxi- 
niately,  to  $2200,  and  the  triple  amount  asked  for  under  the 
law  would  be  $6600. 

This  suit  is  similar  to  the  one  brought  by  the  U.  S.  Tobacco 
Company,  Larus  &  Rros.  iS:  Company,  and  the  Weisert  Bros. 
Tobacco  Company,  which  suit  was  compromised.  The  Frish- 
muth litigation  is  the  only  one  remaining. 

Ex-Mayor  Weaver,  of  the  firm  of  Weaver  &  Drake,  who 
is  the  Philadelphia  attorney  for  the  plaintiff,  stated  to  the 
"Tobacco  World"  to-day  that  the  Frishmuth  suit  would  not 
be  cf)mpromised  under  any  circumstances  and  that  they  would 
push  the  case,  if  necessary,  to  the  highest  courts. 


Turkish  Tobacco  High  and  Scarce 

By  Special  Correspondent. 
^^  Cavalla,  Turkey,  March  i8th. 

HI  A\'I*^  just  returned  from  an  extended  trip  throughout 
the  villages  of  this  province  and  find  little  of  encour- 
agement to  report  concerning  the  crop  conditions.  The 
yield  of  Cavalla  tobacco  is  much  more  limited  than 
last  year,  and  although  the  (juality  is  uncertain,  the  prices  are 
up  in  the  sky.  (irowers  whom  I  visited  are  demanding  ad- 
vances in  price  averaging  from  50  per  cent,  to  over  100  per 
cent,  and  their  tobacco  is  being  taken  at  the  higher  figures,  too, 
so  they  seem  very  independent. 

The  buyer  for  the  Italian  Regie  is  getting  all  the  lots  he 
can  buy,  and  while  their  needs  are  estimated  at  100,000  kilos, 
or  over  220,000  pounds,  the  tobacco  is  not  in  sight. 

Personally,  I  have  bought  all  the  good  lots  which  I  could 
secure,  and  am  now  waiting  to  see  how  the  tobacco  will  turn 
out  after  treatment.  One  hundred  thousand  pounds  of  my  best 
has  been  purchased  for  the  account  of  E.  A.  Condax  &  Com- 
pany, of  New  York. 

The  buyer  for  Schinasi  Bros,  has  been  an  active  factor  in 
the  market  for  some  time,  and  he  is  securing  all  the  lots  he  can 
obtain  to  cover  the  needs  of  his  firm's  big  factory  in  the  States. 

The  American  Tobacco  Company's  resident  buyer  has  also 
been  busy  getting  all  he  could,  so  that  it  can  be  readily  seen 
that  with  the  short  crop  over  here,  the  stiff  prices  which  arc 
being  demanded,  any  cigarette  manufacturers  in  the  United 
.States  who  have  a  good  supply  of  Cavalla  tobacco  on  hand 
have  some  mighty  good  prospects  in  store  for  them,  and  higher 


prices  for  cigarettes  are  sure  to  come  soon.

New  Lease  of  Life  for  American  Tobacco  Company. 
Reargument  of  Government's  Anti -Trust  Suit  a  Temporary  Victory  for 

Defendant. 

VV.\suinl.to.\,  April  12. 

a  XEW  lease  of  hfe,  at  least  until  next  W  mier,  wa.s 
granted  yesterday  to  the  American  lobacco  Com- 
pany, the  Tobacco  Trust,  >o-called,  by  the  United 
States  Supreme  Court,  when  it  redockeled  lor  reargu- 
ment next  October,  the  suit  of  the  Government  to  put  the 
company  out  of  business  on  the  ground  thai  it  i>  a  c.-mbniation 
in  re^traint  of  trade  in  violation  of  the  Sherman  anti-tru.st 
law. 

The  company  was  convicted  in  the  lower  l-cileral  courts 
and  argument  on  the  appeal  recently  was  heard  by  the  highest 
tribunal  of  the  country.  It  was  the  general  belief  that  the  final 
decree  would  be  handed  down  before  the  eiul  of  the  Spring 
term  of  the  court  in  May,  aiul  the  simple  announcement  by 
Chief  Justice  Fuller,  without  explanation  of  the  course  taken, 
that  the  cases  would  be  opened  lor  argument,  came  as  a  great 
surprise  to  President  Talt  and  the  administration  forces  that 
have  been  lined  up  again.^t  the  company. 

The  action  taken  yesterday  by  the  court  is  generally  lieM, 
by  those  in  position  to  speak  authoritatively,  to  mean  that  the 
court  is  divided  four  to  three  on  this  important  case.  W  hether 
the  court  stood  for  or  against  the  Goveniment  i.^,  of  course, 
purely  a  matter  of  speculation,  but  the  report  current  about  the 
Capital  is  that  three  of  the  justices  .stand  for  the  Government's 
contentions  and  four  against  them.  W  ith  the  death  of  Ju.stice 
Brewer  and  the  inability  of  justice  Moody  to  [)arlicipate  be- 
cause of  illness  and  his  connection  with  ihe  case  while  Attorney 
Cieneral,  the  membership  of  the  c«>urt  wa>  reduced  to  seven. 

Lined  up  as  the  justices  are,  according  to  re|)ort,  the  court 
has  no  real  majority,  and  it  is  presumed  the  court  came  to  the 
c<jnclusion  that  at  least  a  majority  of  the  full  court  of  nine 
members  ought  to  be  behind  a  decision  of  so  great  importance 
to  the  business  world. 

According  to  the  report  given  mo.>t  credence  here,  the 
members  who  are  against  the  Government  in  the  case  are  Chief 
Justice  Fuller  and  .\ssociate  justices  White,  Ih.lmes  and  Lur- 
ton,  while  As.sociate  justices  Harlan.  Day  and  .McKenna  stand 
for  the  conviction  of  the  company. 

This  decision  of' the  court  t<j  delay  the  ruling  on  the  case 
left  the  field  of  speculation  and  conjecture  as  to  the  ultimate 
outcome,  of  the  case,  wide  open,  and  many  were  the  guesses 
as  to  the  efifect  it  will  have  on  the  final  ruling.  The  most  p«»i)- 
ular  guess  was  that  the  delay,  if  it  aids  any  side,  will  redound 
to  the  benefit  of  the  tobacco  coini>any.  Tlie  announcement  at 
least  had  the  effect  of  bringing  renewed  confidence  in  the  st(»ck 
markets,  as  shown  by  the  rise  in  securities,  and  it  was  freely 
predicted  that  the  business  interests  of  the  country  will  view 
the  next  few  months  as  holding  out  brighter  prospects. 

Another  effect  of  the  delay  in  the  case  is  the  placing  of  a 
tremendous  responsibility  on  the  shoulders  of  President  Taft 
in  the  selection  of  a  justice  to  take  the  place  made  vacant  by 
the  death  of  justice  T.rewer.  I'or  on  the  selection  that  Mr. 
Taft  will  make  ajjparently  will  depend  whether  the  ( jovern- 
ment's  suit  for  the  dissolution  of  tlfis  big  cor|)oration  is  sus- 
tained or  reversed.  With  the  new  menil)er  of  the  court  rests 
the  vote  that  may  give  to  the  tribunal  the  neces.sary  majority 
of  the  full  court  for  or  against  the  company.

Improvement  in  Crop,  Methods  of  Manufacture  and  Quality  of  Goods 

Achieved   in    Few  Years 


Caguas  Factory  and  Warehouse 

1  tlic  time  oi  the  Spanish-American  War,  a  hustling 
young  American,  Jlarrisun  Jolinson  by  name,  landed 
in  San  Juan  and  in  the  succeeding  five  or  six  years 
thortjughly  mastered  the  tobacco  and  cigar  making 
business.  Very  few  other  Americans  who  went  down  at  the 
time  <jf  the  war  remain  to-day  on  the  Island.  Mr.  Johnson, 
however,  is  possessed  of  that  quality  of  persistence  that  makes 
for  success. 

After  various  experiences  with  Porto  Kican  partners,  the 
(Jayey-Caguas  Tobacco  Company,  a  New  York  corporation  was 
formed,  bringing  in  some  American  business  men  and  capital 
to  combine  with  Mr.  Johnson's  ability  and  expert  knowledge  of 
the  tobacco  and  cigar  business. 

The  business  of  the  company  on  its  own  brands  started  in 
I9<.J5  when  Mr.  iloisington,  the  president,  took  charge  of  the 
New  York  end.  I'Or  the  very  first  the  company's  endeavor  has 
been  to  turn  out  a  strictly  high-grade  j)roposition,  honestly 
made,  and  their  raj)i(i  growth  and  success  proves  the  sound- 
ness of  their  belief  that  there  are  more  j)eople  who  want  hon- 
est goods  than  faked  ones. 

The  importance  of  growing  their  own  tobacco  was  early 
recognized  by  this  company ;  they  began  first  planting  on 
rented  ground,  and  a  little  later  making  purchases  of  land 
found  suitable  for  growing  the  best  grades  of  leaf.  Mr.  John- 
son, with  his  wide  acquaintance  and  long  experience  on  the 
Island,  was  able  to  locate  the  right  districts  for  the  com- 
pany's plantaticms.  I'^irst  one  piece  of  ground  and  then  an- 
other in  the  Cayey  and  Caguas  districts  was  bought  in  as  op- 
portunity offered. 

The  Advantage  of  Location. 

While  tobacco  has  been  grown  in  many  parts  of  Porto 
Rico,  the  siqK'rior  (juality  of  the  filler  raised  in  the  Cayey  dis- 
trict is  well  known  to  the  old  planters.  The  best  plantations  in 
this  district  are  in  the  fertile  valleys  between  the  hills  at  an 
altitude  of  not  less  than  2000  feet  above  sea  level.  The  trade 
wijids  blowing  steadily  from  the  northeast  to  reach  these  dis- 
tricts have  to  go  over  the  mountains,  reaching  in  places  an 
altitude  of  3700  feet.  This  brings  the  warm,  moist  air  into 
contact  with  the  cooler  uj)per  air  and  produces  precipitation  in 
the  shape  of  rain.  The  fleecy  clouds  floating  over  the  Cayey 
district  drop  down  shower  after  shower,  alternating  with  sun- 
shine. The  result  is  that  these  naturally  fertile  u])land  valleys 
produce  the  most  magniflcent  type  of  tobacc<\ 

The  Cavey-Caguas  Tobacco  Comi)any  have  found  that  the 
best  wrappers  are  produced  in  the  Caguas  district,  and  have 
there  located  in  the   Borinquen   Valley  their  extensive  shade 


Piling  and  Sweating  Tobacco  in  Cayey -Caguas  Warehouse 

plantations.  This  valley  is  surrounded  on  all  sides  by  hill>,  only 
reached  by  comparatively  narrow  passes,  and  is  well  watered 
by  several  streams  in  addition  to  having  frequent  showers  as  in 
the  case  of  the  Cayey  district. 

The  company  was  particularly  fortunate  in  securing  land 
in  these  districts,  as  the  sugar  industry  in  Porto  Kico  has  been 
making  very  rapid  strides  and  the  cane  planters  and  sugar  mills 
are  buying  up  nearly  all  the  available  lands  for  their  own  pur- 
poses, and  the  tobacco  acreage  is  being  gradually  cut  down. 

PECULIAKITIKS    OF   THE    ToiJAC  CO    SllL'ATlON'. 

Very  few  people  realize  the  tobacco  situation  in  Porto 
Rico.  In  Cuba  there  are  many  good  independent  planters  who 
raise  tobacco  for  the  market.  Jn  Porto  Rico  this  is  not  the 
case  to  any  great  extent,  and  the  manufacturers  have  to  very 
largely  raise  their  own  tobacco,  and  those  who  do  not  have 
plantations  of  their  own  often  have  to  depend  on  unsatisfac- 
tory lots  picked  up  from  the  native  planters,  and  in  consequence 
frequently  supplement  these  purchases  with  leaf  from  the 
United  States  in  order  to  secure  sufficient  tobacco  for  their  out- 
put. 

The  planting  department  is  in  charge  of  F.  II.  Bunker, 
another  young  American  of  marked  ability  and  experience.  On 
these  plantations  only  selected  seed  is  used,  which  is  secured 
by  marking  the  best  plants  each  season  and  allowing  them  to 
go  to  seed,  so  that  the  crops  each  year  show  an  improvement 
over  the  preceding  one.  In  this  way  the  company  is  steadily 
bettering  the  grade  of  tobacco  which  they  produce  and  are  es- 
pecially endeavoring  to  grow  high  quality  fillers  and  wrappers 
suitable  to  the  American  market.

.After  securing  their  plantations  the  company  next  turned 
their  attention  to  the  erection  of  suitable  buildings  where  the 
manufacturing  of  their  cigars  could  be  carried  on  under  clean, 
sanitary  conditions.  Their  first  large  concrete  factory  building 
was  erected  in  1906.  and  in  IQ07  their  concrete  tobacco  ware- 
house. These  two  buildngs  have  enabled  them  to  store  their 
tobacco  and  keep  it  throughout  the  year  in  good  condition  in 
spite  of  the  tropical  heat  during  the  dry  season,  and  the  fac- 
tory is  recognized  on  the  Island  as  a  model  one  as  regards 
dean,  sanitary  conditions,  and  elicits  the  admiration  of  tour- 
ists who  have  visited  both  Cuba  and  Porto  Rico. 

In  TO09  the  increased  business  of  the  company  required 
the  purchase  of  a  200-foot  concrete  building  in  San  Lorenzo  as 
a  branch  factory,  adding  greatly  to  the  capacity  of  the  com- 
panv  in  turning  out  cigars. 

During  the  entire  history  of  the  company,  Mr.  Johnson, 
the  vice-president  and  general  manager  in  Porto  Rico,  has 
given  much  of  his  time  and  attention  to  the  evolving  of  a  thor- 
ough and  careful  system  in  all  parts  of  the  factory,  as  well  as 
the*  plantations.  The  constant  aim  is  improvement  in  quality 
and  uniformitv  for  each  size  or  grade  of  cigar  turned  out.  The 
company  to-dav  produces  thirty-four  diflferent  sizes  and  shapes. 

One  of  the  most  important  processes  is  the  care  of  the  leaf 
after  it  leaves  the  plantations.  It  is  first,  of  course,  cured  and 
dried  in  the  tobacco  sheds  on  the  field.  After  this  it  is  taken 
to  the  warehouse  and  piled  for  the  fermenting  or  sweating 
process.  The  tobacco  is  piled  four  or  five  feet  high  with  tubes 
running  into  the  centre  of  the  pile  for  thermometers  and  the 
temperature  carefullv  watched.    After  the  heat  of  the  fermen-

Tobacco  in  Savarona  Plantation,  near  Cayey,  Porto  Rico 


Rothschild  Retires  from  Waldorf- Astona  Co. 

WE  sale  by  Harry  S.  Rothschild  a  few  days  since  of 
his  interests  in  the  Waldorf-Astoria  Segar  Company, 
l.td.   led  to  a  statement  to  the  effect  that  the  business 


liad  ])een  sold  in  its  entiretv  to  the  American  Cigar  Company. 

At  the  offices  of  the  Waldorf-Astoria  Company  this  report 
was  denied  absolutelv,  and  it  was  stated  that  Mr.  Rothschdd  s 
i,iterests  had  been  purchased  by  George  C.  Boldt,  and  that  the 
business  of  the  company  would  be  continued  precisely  along  the 
lines  that  it  had  been  in  the  past. 

Merwin  J.  Bulkley,  assistant  secretary  of  the  company, 
who  recently  underwent  an  operation  for  appendicitis,  is  re- 
ported as  convalescing  rapidly,  and  expects  to  be  at  his  desk 

in  about  a  week.  l         r  *u^ 

The  Waldorf-Astoria  Company  control  a  number  ot  the 
leading  popular  brands  of  Havana,  Key  West  and  domestic 
cigars,  including  the  Magnita  clear  Havanas  Armas  de  Oro 
and  Siegfried  Kev  West  cigars,  and  San  Moro  and  Boldt  s 
special  domestic  brands,  and  in  their  stores  they  also  carry,  in 
addition  to  these,  a  full  line  of  the  finest  grades  of  domestic 
and  imported  cigars,  as  well  as  cigarettes  and  smoking  tobacco. 


The  San  Lorenzo  Factory  of  the  Cayey-Caguas  Tobacco  Co. 

tation  gets  to  a  certain  point  the  piles  are  taken  down  and  re- 
piled,  and  the  process  started  over  again.  This  goes  on  for 
about  six  weeks  more  or  less,  according  to  the  grade  of  the  to- 
bacco, and  this  process  is  where  the  tobacco  can  be  ruined  un- 
less the  utmost  care  is  taken.  Ignorance  of  this  important  de- 
partment is  the  cause  of  the  inferiority  of  many  Porto  Rican 
cigars. 

Problems  of  Marketing. 

In  the  marketing  of  their  cigars  the  company  has  followed 
a  uniform  policy  of  putting  out  only  first-class  goods  under  all 
their  brands.  The  greatest  care  has  been  taken  in  getting  up 
the  labels  and  packages,  especially  the  "Savarona,"  the  high- 
grade  factory  label  of  the  company.  This  brand  met  with  suc- 
cess from  the  start,  although  no  extensive  advertising  campaign 
was  carried  out,  the  policy  of  the  company  being  to  put  the 
value  into  the  goods  rather  than  into  advertising. 

The  cigars  have  been  placed  with  first  one  good  account 
and  then  another,  and  the  business  has  grown  largely  on  the 
repeat  orders  and  on  the  spread  of  the  reputation  of  the  cigar. 

While  the  company  has  not  done  any  large  amount  of  ad- 
vertising, they  have  always  endeavored  to  assist  the  trade  in 
the  marketing  of  their  goods  by  furnishing  window  display  ma- 
terial, and  to-day  they  have  the  most  attractive  sets  of  window 
trimming  material  of  any  cigar  concern  in  the  business. 

President  Hoisington  believes  that  the  interests  of  the  man- 
ufacturer and  the  seller  are  mutual  and  has  workcfl  with  that 
idea  in  view.  He  has  fortunately  been  able  to  gather  around 
him  an  efficient  office  and  .selling  force  that  endeavor  to  carry 
out  the  ideas  and  policy  which  have  marked  the  company's  suc- 
cess. 


New  Seal  for  Cigar  Cases  Sent  West 

Tl  O  meet  the  new  requirements  of  the  western  railroads 
^^  which  stipulate  that  all  cigar  cases  shipped  to  points 
9^mi  west  of  the  Mississippi  River  shall  be  sealed  with  a 
'^^^  metal  seal  instead  of  the  old-fashioned  lead,  the  Inter- 
national Seal  and  Knot  Protector  Company  has  devised  a  new 
type  of  seal.  The  new  shipping  provisions  go  into  eflfect  May 
first,  and  the  I.  S.  &  K.  P.  Company  has  been  quick  to  bring 
out  a  seal  which  will  comply  with  the  new  regulations. 

Samples  and  full  particulars  can  be  obtained  by  cigar  man- 
ufacturers and  other  shippers  of  cigar  cases  by  addressing  the 
company  at  1830  West  Ontario  street,  Philadelphia. 

E.  S.  Matteson,  with  twenty-two  years  of  experience  in 
tobacco  rearing,  is  writing  the  Greater  Leavenworth  Club 
expressing  a  desire  to  come  eastward  to  grow  cigar  leaf  of 
the  finer  grade. 


The  American  SnuflF  Company  is  erecting  a  $20,000  to-

novel  kind. 

•At  Indianapolis  the  A.  Kiefer  Drug  Co.  are  exploiting  two 
Havana  brands  of  cigars,  known  as  the  "Villa  Reina"  and  the 
"Revoco,"  both  r»f  standard  makes. 

Bayuk  Rros.'  "Havana  Ribbon"  cigar  is  (piitc  popular  in 
the  ^\'est.  and  has  been  made  the  most  of  by  Donahue  &  Eaton, 
of  Tndianaj)olis. 

Esberg-Cmist.  Forty-second  street  and  Fifth  avenue.  New 
'N'ork  City,  are  making  some  vital  alterations  for  the  improved

At  Indianaj)olis  the  Compeer  Cigar  Co.  report  an  active 
call  for  their  nickel  "Compeer."  and  the  brand  moves  well 
through  a  ntuuber  of  able  distributors. 


The  (iessler-.McKinnon  Co.  are  justly  jjroud  of  their  new

field  r.ros.  Cigar  Co.,  of  Portland,  Ore.,  that  they  have  closed 
their  retail  dei)artment  and  will  figure  as  wholesale  hence- 
forth. While  this  will  be  learned  with  regret  by  their  numerous 
patrons,  it  means  much  to  the  wholesale  trade  of  Portland. 

The  "Euis  Martinez"  brand  in  Perfecto  B's  are  well  sold

To  Cut  Down  Tobacco  Insurance 

National  Cigar  Leaf  Association  Circulating  Petition— War  Threatened 

I'Dl'CTIOX  in  insurance  rates  on  leaf  tobacco  is 
asked  for  in  a  huge  petition  being  promulgated  by  the 
insurance  committee  of  the  National  Cigar  Leaf  To- 
bacco .Association.  The  petition  asks  that  rates  be 
restored  to  their  former  basis  which  was  one-half  of  those  now 
in  force,  and  adds  significantly : 

"We*  hereby  authorize  our  association's  representatives  \\^ 
secure  these  rates  through  amiable  negotiations,  if  possible; 
otherwise  to  proceed  to  secure  them  through  such  means  as 
may  be  justified." 

Copies  of  the  petition  will  be  sent  broadcast  to  the  officers 
•  )f  every  leaf  tobacco  association  in  the  country,  or  similar 
bodies  affiliated  with  the  National  .\ssociation.  and  an  effort 
will  be  made  to  line  up  every  member  of  the  trade,  whether  he 
be  a  leaf  dealer  or  cigar  manufacturer,  to  help  in  their  warfare 
for  more  reasonable  rates.

iiiscrihtd  tlu'  Icj^ind  "ICvcryhody  ^ninkcs  hut  the 
hahy."  It  stnick  mc  as  hcinj;  a  vory  simple  state- 
nienl  and  yit  <>ne  which  was  full  <»f  truth  as  the  ji;rc'at 
army  of  smokers  tends  to  increase  rather  than  diminish  as 
the  year>  j^f)  on,  and  tlie  youthful  aspirants  to  the  cigarette  cult 
have  to  hi-  shij)herded  hy  the  law  initil  they  reach  a  certain 
stamlard  of  lej^al  maturity.  Tohacco.  unlike  liahits  (jf  dress, 
f«K)d.  or  other  thinj^s,  retains  its  former  position  practically 
undisturhed.  It  is  only  in  the  manner  in  which  it  is  con- 
sume(|  that  nnich  variance  has  heen  shown  from  time  to  time. 
We  niij^ht  say  that  the  j)resent  j^eneration  has  seen  an  un- 
preiedeiited  increase  in  the  use  of  cigarettes,  notwithstan<l- 
ing  that  there  has  been  a  large  amount  of  legislation  with  a 
view  to  compulsorily  counteract  the  fast  growing  tendency. 
It  might  be  said  that  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  has  had  many  suc- 
cessors as  has  also  that  famous  servant  of  his,  and  there  are 
still  plenty  of  jjcople  ready  and  even  eager  to  administer  a 
douche  of  cold  water  figuratively  if  not  literally,  in  order 
to  extinguish  the  type  of  the  smoker.  A  curious  feature  of 
some  of  the  crusa<les  which  have  been  made  and  by  well  mean- 
ing people.  t»)o.  against  what  they  consider  are  abuses,  is  the 
fact  that  the  very  articles  tliey  comjjlaincd  of  are  imi)ortant 
contributors  to  the  revenues  of  our  government. 

It  is  all  very  well  to  talk  heroically,  but  talk  without 
action  in  consonance  therewith  is  not  so  easy,  and  while  some 
anti-tol)acco  cranks  may  be  satisfied  to  reason  that  if  all  the 
monev  now  sjient  for  tobacco  in  its  varied  forms  were  saved, 
there  would  be  no  difficulty  in  meeting  an  extra  taxation 
which  would  have  to  be  raised  to  make  uj)  a  deficiency  wdiich 
wotdd  surelv  be  caused  in  the  revenue  of  the  country  by  the 
disai)pearance  of  tobacco.  It  is  a  question  as  to  whether  the 
money  would  be  saved,  and  I  believe  there  might  be  some 
doubt  in  reganl  to  this.  It  seems  to  be  that  human  nature 
is  human  nature  about  all  the  world  over,  and  if  it  is  barred 
from  the  gratification  of  a  certain  case  it  is  very  likely  that 
doubtful  instead  of  straightforward  methods  would  be  tried 
in  order  to  obtain  what  human  nature  wants.  It  is  note- 
worthily  true  of  the  man  who  has  a  mind  of  his  own  and  a 
sufficient  power  of  conception  to  exercise  it  intelligently,  he 
dislikes  compulsion,  and  if  it  be  attemi)ted  to  be  applied  to 
him  he  will  register  a  vigorous  kick.  Obstinacy  suggests  not 
merelv  resistance,  but  it  also  brings  into  play  the  exercise  of 
ingemiity  for  the  devising  of  ways  and  means  by  which  to 
evade  tJie  dictum  of  authority.  Since  taxation  never  was 
and  never  will  become  popular,  it  would  not  be  very  likely  to 
appeal  to  the  average  man  to  be  taxed  for  something  which 
he  does  not  get.  On  the  other  hand,  it  becomes  esi)ecially 
distasteful  to  him.  Particularly  when  he  feels  that  no  good 
object  is  being  gained  by  enforced  abstinence  and  pecuniary 
penalizing.  The  difficulty  to  enforce  a  law  dealing  with  habits 
of  men  is  a  verv  real  one.  the  success  of  which  is  usually 
<loubtful.  It  will  yet  be  found  that  (|uite  a  numl)er  of  well 
disposed  persons  conscientiously  believing  in  certain  theories 
are  not  hapi)v  unless  they  are  badgering  legislatures  in  the 
vain  hope  of  transforming  their  ideals  into  realities.  l'.ut 
to-day  failure  of  comjnilsion  weighs  not  a  whit  with  them; 
thev  nuist  have  more  of  the  same  as  well  as  the  customary 
backing  of  the  bludgeon  of  the  law. 

Ketlective  people  regard  this  constant  striving  to  trans- 
late impracticable  theories  into  ojually  impracticable  action 
as  a  somewhat  inexplicable  phenomenon,  but  it  is  there  all  the 


same.  We  fail  to  see  what  salutary  effect  the  multiplicity  of 
laws  and  creations  of  new  offenses  under  them,  can  have 
upon  the  community.  Th.at  is  a  mystery.  To  enforce  har- 
assing cnactiuent>  means  the  calling  int  »  being  of  more  and 
more  olificialism.  and  that  natur.dly  involves  a  further  expen- 
diture of  the  people's  money.  It  would  scarcely  seem  like 
government  by  tlie  i)eop1e  in  \U  true  sense,  but  rather  the 
domination  of  the  whole  by  a  small  but  noisy  aggregation. 

Certainly  no  one  would  be  disposed  to  object  to  the  enact- 
ment of  laws  having  as  its  basic  object  the  preventing  of 
smoking  by  young  children.  Such  laws  are  now  on  the  statute 
books  of  many  countries,  but  grown  men  in  full  possession 
of  their  rational  minds  resent  attempts  which  are  so  fre- 
(|uently  made  to  dej)rive  them  of  the  solace  of  tobacco.  When 
the  whole  country  is  taken  into  consideration,  little  real  pro- 
gress has  been  made  by  the  anti-tobacco  crank,  and  drop  in 
the  revenue  from  tobacco  is  probably  due  more  largely  to  the 
pressure  of  other  circumstances  rather  than  the  futile  attacks 
of  those  who  regard  tobacco  as  an  enemy  of  mankind,  and 
which  must  be  slain  at  all  costs.

The  Cost  of  Doing  Business. 

K  deem  it  aprojxts  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  a 
very  serious  mistake  is  very  often  made  among  retail 
dealers,  when  they  do  not  know  what  their  real  earn- 
ings are  on   their  actual   investments.     Usually   it  is 


because  items  of  expense  have  not  been  so  carefully  lfM)ked 
into  as  they  should  be,  and  besides  no  ])ercentage  cost  of 
iloing  business  has  been  computed  with  the  degree  of  care 
which  this  all  important  matter  should  have  received. 

(jenerallv  speaking  items  that  should  be  considered  under 
this  expense  head  might  be  enumerated  as  follows:  rent,  clerk 
hire,  stationery,  heating,  delivery,  insurance,  depreciation  of 
stock,  bad  accounts,  lighting,  advertising,  taxes,  wages  of  pro- 
prietor, and  interest  on  investment.  Many  retailers  appear 
to  take  the  stand  that  some  of  the  items  enumerated  should 
hardlv  be  included  in  computing  the  cost  of  doing  business. 

A  little  sound  reasoning,  we  believe,  will  convince  them 
otherwise.  Heat,  light,  clerk  hire,  cost  of  delivery,  water 
rent,  insurance,  advertising,  and  stationery  are  all  items  which 
can  be  figured  out  with  very  little  trouble,  lint  only  too  many 
retailers  overlook  the  item  of  interest  on  investment.  If  the 
same  amount  of  money  or  any  portion  of  the  capital  which 
tlie  retailer  has  invested  in  stock  were  to  be  loaned  out  he 
would  naturally  enough  expect  his  interest,  and  so,  for  in- 
stance, the  dealer  who  carries  a  stock  of  say,  $5,000,  should 
charge  up  as  expense  $.^00  per  year,  wdiich  would  be  e(|uivalent 
to  the  interest  upon  that  amount  at  6  per  cent,  per  annum. 
Certainlv  uncollectible  accounts  are  a  feature  which  no  re- 
tailer can  afford  to  ignore,  h^u-ther  than  this,  there  is  always 
a  certain  amount  of  depreciation  in  stock  which  will 
show  a  percentage  of  l«)ss.  Such  depreciation  represents  loss 
of  interest  by  excessive  stock,  as  well  as  the  loss  of  profit  by 
the  difference  between  the  actual  cost  of  the  goods  when  pur- 
chased and  the  price  at  which  they  could  be  bought  at  the 
time  of  inventory.  Loss  of  interest  on  past  due  accounts  is 
also  often  an  item  which  will  bear  scrutiny. 

It  would  ])e  difficult  to  lay  oiit  a  plan  that  would  be  ade- 
fjuate  and  fitting  in  all  cases,  but  every  retailer  should  figure 
out  for  his  own  satisfaction  the  actual  cost  of  doing  busi- 
ness, and  where  this  has  been  done,  retailers  have  been  sur- 
prised at  the  small  ])ercentage  which  their  business  actually 
showed  after  a  correct  balance  sheet  has  been  computed.

Heart  to  Heart  Talk  With  Clerks. 

Till',  men  that  are  worth  while  back  of  retail  counters 
to-day  are  the  men  who  can  show  a  profit,     it  doesn't 
matter  so  much  about  the  list  of  articles  he  sells,  as  it 
<loes  the  kind  of  article  he  sells  that   will  enable  a 
profit   be   shown   by   his   sales,      (letting   a   profit   is   not   con- 
lined    to    selling   a    few    cigarettes,    a    plug    of    tobacco    or    a 
"Long  Shot"  cigar,  yet   they  often   head  the  list,  to  be  sure. 
There  are  other  things  around  a  cigar  and  tobacco  establish- 
ment which  are  salable  if  the  clerk  knows  how  to  sell  an  arti- 
cle, and   disi)lays  the   right   s])irit   in  doing  so.     Take   a  good 
line  of  clear  Havana  cigars,  a  line  wliich  you  know  is  bound 
to  give  satisfaction,  atid  let  the  clerk  make  it  his  specialty  to 
introduce  them  more  largely,  or  take  even  a  straight  nickel  prop- 
osition,  a    g(  (  (I   domestic   and    Havana   blend,   and    it   can   be 
made  as  profitable  an   article   as  the   store  i)ossesses,    for  the 
ri}.dit    kind    of    a    cijjar    will    bring   in    new    customers   by    the

Two- Minute  Chat  With  Retailers. 

T  is  admitted  that  money  is  a  very  important  factor 
in  business,  but  to  the  man  of  high  ideals  it  is  not 
the  only  factor  by  any  means.  There  are  many 
business  men  who  have  struggled  along  for  years  on 
a  small  cai)ital,  and  one  thing  is  certain  they  have  generally 
ac(|uired  a  full  realization  of  the  real  value  of  a  dollar,  and 
may  even  i)lace  a  greater  value  upon  it  than  should  be.  Of 
course,  they  see  so  many  places  in  their  own  business  where 
a  little  more  monev  would  increase  their  profits  that  they  nat- 
urally begin  to  think  that  it  is  cash  alone  which  is  responsible 
for  the  growth  of  their  business,  liut  is  that  really  the  fact? 
If  cash  meant  invariable  success,  then  the  old  proverb  that  "a 
fool  and  his  money  soon  part"  would  no  longer  stand. 

The  facts  as  we  see  them,  are  that  the  man  m  busi- 
ness who  depends  purelv  upon  his  cash  making  his  success 
for  him,  is  no  business  man  at  all.  He  must  learn  to  classify 
cash  along  with  his  stock  and  fixtures,  and  understand  that 
it  must  be  handled  with  the  same  degree  of  care  as  the  other 
assets  of  the  business  are  handled  to  cause  it  to  make  money. 
That  is  the  business  skill  which  ccjunts  for  most  in  the  long 
run  \  man  with  i)lenty  of  cash  can,  we  a.lmit,  cut  a  wide 
swath  in  the  business  world  for  a  time,  but  it  is  only  for  a 
time,  unless  he  also  has  good  business  ability.

nonchalantly  pullinj^  away  at  a  cij^arette.  I  j^ently  asked  the 
conductor  if  he  had  any  objection  to  my  holdinj^  my  cigar,  and 
he  said,  "I'Mrc  away."  it  was  this  same  crew,  I  understaiKJ, 
who,  after  making  three  runs  with  the  car,  arrived  at  the  barn 
and  turned  in  15  cents  for  fares  collected  on  the  entire  three 
trips.  The  superintendent  of  the  car  barn  remonstrated  and 
sai<l  to  the  conductor,  "W  bile  we  expect  you  to  take  s(»me  of 
the  fares,  we  want  at  least  50  per  cent.  You  are  discharged.

1m )r  many  years,  while  smoking  has  been  tabooed,  lovers 
of  tobacco  have  solaced  themselves  with  a  wee  nip  of  fine  cut, 
but  this  is  specially  aimed  against  in  the  recent  book  of  rules 
issued  by  the  Pennsylvania  for  the  guidance  of  their  men's 
conduct  and  from  now  on  neither  smoking  or  chewing  will  be 
permitted.  The  railroad  officials  will  hol(l  an  examination  of 
their  employes  on  May  23r(l  to  ascertain  whether  they  have 
familiarize  themselves  with  the  contents  of  the  little  booklet

The  blue  curl  of  cigar  smoke  faded  away  recently  on  Sun- 
days at  b:ikhart,  Ind..  by  the  enforcement  of  the  Sunday  lilue 
law.  The  Mayor  closed  the  drug  stores,  tobacco  and  refresh- 
ment stands  and  allowed  milk  and  ice  only  in  cases  of  dire 
necessity.  There  were  lots  of  protests,  and  the  Mayor  said  it 
was  all  on  account  of  the  preachers,  who  said  he  was  not  enforc- 
ing the  law. 


.\  leading  cigar  store,  having  dispensed  with  a  large  full- 
sized  mirror,  explained  its  action  as  follows: 

"We  just  had  to  get  rid  of  that  glass.  Men  are  so  broken 
nj)  on  their  shapes,  half  of  them,  that  they  would  come 
in  to  buy  pii)es,  would  inspect  our  stock,  decide  on  just  the 
wood  and  the  amber  they  wanted,  then  stick  them  into  their 
mouths  and  pose  before  our  big  mirror.  Vou  would  see  no 
great  harm  in  this,  said  the  cigar  man.  but  all  the  pipe  hunting 
wouM  have  to  be  done  over  again  to  hud  pii)es  which  they 
thouglit  suited  their  faces.  Not  a  few  would  be  content  until 
they  looked  in  the  mirror  and  then  they  would  want  some  other 
shape  of  pipe  and  tinally  go  without  buying  at  all."

EDITORIAL. 

The  announcement  by  the  Supreme  Court,  on  April  nth, 
of  the  decision  to  have  the  American  Tobacco  Co.  case   re- 
argued, must  come  as  a  distinct  disapp(>int- 
Disappointment.         "^^'ut  to  everybody  concerned. 

While  it  is  true  that  such  momentous 
(juestions  as  are  involved  in  the  c(»ntentions  before  the  court 
should  not  be  decided  with  unckie  haste,  still  it  would  appear 
to  us  that  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  should  be 
so  constituted  at  all  times  that  vital  (juestions  of  this  character 
could  be  disposed  of  decisively.  It  seems  to  us  that  the  opinion 
of  seven  members  of  the  Supreme  Cinirt  would  be  just  as 
valuable  as  that  of  nine  members,  and  the  apparent  responsi- 
bility which  will  rest  upon  the  President  in  the  appointing  of 
a  new  member  to  succeed  the  late  Justice  Brewer  is  a  burden 
which  should  not  be  entrusted  to  one  man,  even  though  he  l>e 
President,  just  at  this  time. 

What  the  tobacco  industry  at  large  and  the  citizens  of  the 
United  States  want  is  a  decision.  If  the  .American  Tobacco 
Co.  and  the  Standard  Oil  Co.  arc  defying  the  laws  of  the  United 
States,  they  should  be  stopped,  and  stopped  forthwith.  If 
they  are  ])rocee(ling  in  a  lawful  manner,  in  justice  to  all  con- 
cerned, the  highest  tribunal  in  the  land  should  so  decide.  Pro- 
crastination never  helped  any  case,  and  as  for  ourselves,  we 
are  thoroughly  disappointed  with  the  present  unsatisfactory 
status. 


The  unsatisfactory  reports  received  in  the  United  Slato 
ccMiceniing  the  tirst  inscriptions  of  Sumatra,  as  well  as  the  pre- 
liminary crop  reixMi>  ivoiu  Cuba,  all  imhcate 
Filching  from  the   utmost   negligence   un    the   part   t)f   our 

the  Soil.  tobacct)  land  owners   the   world   «>ver   in   the 

treatment  of  ilK-ir  goUkii  bearing  soil. 
Thought  lul  men  ..f  the  indu.stry,  wlielher  cigar  manufacturers, 
tobacco  growers  nv  handlers  of  leal,  have  for  .several  years 
been  prophesying  the  crop  contlitious,  which,  acct)rding  to 
authoritative  reports,  are  existent  to-day,  but  the  curious 
methods  of  leasing  land  to  individuals  for  the  sole  puriH>se  of 
raising  tobacco  crops  thereon,  which  e.xist  in  many  cases  both 
in  Cuba  and  Sumatra,  result  in  the  lessee  taking  everything 
he  possibly  can  from  the  soil  and  giving  little  or  nothing  in 
return. 

To  obtain  certain  crops  of  light  leaf,  patent  fertilizers  are 
used  in  some  sections,  which,  for  the  purpose  of  the  temixjrary 
lessee,  may  accomplish  what  he  wishes,  but  the  continueil  use 
of  them,  it  has  been  proven,  robs  the  ground  of  its  natural 
fertility. 

It  is  high  time  that  the  (Jovernment  of  Cuba  shmild  go 
directly  into  the  vitals  of  this  t|uestion  and.  avoiding  disputes 
or  needless  contentions,  at  least  make  some  elTort  toward  legis- 
lation which  would  enforce  irrigation  and  the  proper  fertiliza- 
tion of  the  lands  which  produce  so  nnich  of  Cuba's  wealth. 

The  commission  appointed  by  President  Gomez  some  time 
ago,  in  their  report  made  a  number  of  the  most  valuable  sug- 
gestions and  other  recommendations  which  were  not  considered 
of  particular  worth,  but  in  the  interests  of  the  great  industry 
in  which  Cuba  j)lays  so  important  a  part,  at  least  the  sugges- 
tions of  value  made  by  the  commission  should  be  given  a  fair 
trial. 


Every  leaf  association  in  the  country  and  leal  men  who 
are  not  members  of  any  association  should  look  forward  with 

keen  interest  to  the  annual  convention  of 
The  Age  of  the   National   Cigar   Leaf   Tobacco   Associa- 

Conference.  tion,   which  occurs   in   Hartford,   Conn.,  on 

May  9th  and  loth. 

These  gatherings  of  representative  members  of  an  industry 
are  always  fraught  with  nuich  that  redounds  to  the  go«Hl  of  all. 
.\t  no  other  period  of  our  commercial  history  has  so  much 
importance  been  attached  to  the  stated  gathering  of  tratle 
leaders  in  social  and  business  conventions  for  the  mutual  dis- 
cussion of  perplexing  problems  and  the  outlining  of  i)olicies 
to  which  individual  firms  could  adhere  without  in  any  way  re- 
stricting their  j)ers(»nal  enterprises. 

We  certainly  congratulate  the  National  Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco 
Association  on  the  healthy  growth  which  it  has  maintained 
during  its  twelve  years  of  existence  and  hoj)e  that  the  llartfor*! 
convention  will  prove  the  most  representative  an<l  inlluential 
function  which  the  asst)ciation  has  ever  held. 

Is  the  dream  too  Utopian  to  conjure  up  a  picture  of  a  con- 
vention, in  a  few  years  to  come,  which  w»>uld  include  not  only 
the  National  leaf  men.  but  the  cigar  manufacturers  as  well? 


A  New  Orleans  newspaper  correspondent,  writing  from 
New  N'<»rk  City,  attempts  to  tell  what  the  inner  man  cost^  in 
the  metropolis  per  annum  to  keep  it  in  comfortable  condition. 
He  figures  that  Si.J.So.rxKVXX")  is  eaten  and  drank  by  New 
Yorkers,  anrl  that  S75.ocki.()oo  goes  up  in  tobacco  smoke. 

The  Kentucky  nightri<lers'  latest  depredation  is  that  of 
removing  the  canvas  coverings  from  the  tobacco  plant  beds  at 
night  time.  This  kills  the  tender  plants,  which  arouses  the 
wish  that  these  night  marauders  could  receive  some  well  di- 
rected lots  of  buckshot  in  their  own  carcasses  and  thus  end  this 
stain  on  Kentuckv  manhood.

United  Cigar  Stores  Company  Will    Move  Stock  to 

Brooklyn. 

j^  I  IJ^ASI^  was  concluded  last  week  between  the  I'nited 
JT^  (  ij^ar  Stores  ("oin|)any  and  the  Hush  Terminal  Coni- 
|)any  wlierehy  the  I'nited  Coini)any  have  leaded 
5S,(XK)  M|uare  feet  in  the  model  loft  buildin^^  \o.  4.  lo- 
ealed  at  the  foot  of  riiirty-lifth  street.  South  IJrooklyn.  and 
about  May  1st  the  stock  of  the  L'nited  Company  will  be  trans- 
ferred from  their  i)resent  location  at  44  West  Mij^hteenth  street, 
Manhattan,  across  t(»  the  I'rooklyn  side. 

The  I'nited  C'omi)any  have  for  nn)nths  felt  the  need  of 
more  room  for  storajje  of  stock  and  other  purposes,  but  they 
could  not  secure  any  additional  room  in  the  building  now  occu- 
j)ied,  an<l  hence  the  present  change. 

The  new  location  will  afford  the  company  the  very  best 
facilities  possible  for  the  rapid  and  econt)mical  handling;  of 
supplies  for  the  various  stores  they  operate,  now  numberinj^ 
225  in  Manhattan  and  28  in  llnK)klyn  borou^di.  The  I'nion 
freij^ht  depot  and  the  various  steamship  i)iers  which  are  di- 
rectlv  adjacent  to  the  lUish  Terminal  buildinj^s  will  jjermit 
them  to  receive  shipments  directly  from  the  various  sU])ply 
factories  at  a  minimum  «)f  time  and  cost. 

It  is  announced  that  j^a-neral  offices  and  premium  show- 
re  mmus  will  remain  at  44  West  F.ij,diteenth  street.  The  removal 
of  the  stock  of  cij^ars  and  tobacco  will  provide  more  room  for 
the  display  of  premiums  and  the  show  rooms  will  be  enlarj^cd 
to  twice  their  present  capacity. 


A.  J.   Mace  Will  Sell  U  Union  Manilas. 

"pw^  111*^  l^astern  selling,'  aj^ency  for  the  La  Lnion  C'ij^ar  fac- 
1  torv  of  Manila  has  been  i)laced  in  the  hands  of  A.  J. 

gg^      Mace,  who  is  well  known  for  his  ten  years'  connection 
=^^    as  office  manager  with  Balbin  liros.,  the  clear  Havana 
house.    Mr.  Mace  will  also  take  care  of  the  Middle  West  terri- 
tory on  these  jjoods,  and  thinks  highly  of  their  future. 

"La  I'uions"  are  known  as  the  oldest  grade  "of  Manila 
cigars  on  the  market,  and  they  are  special  pets  of  the  officers 
and  men  of  the  Army  and  x\avy.  who  have  done  much  to  popu- 
larize them.  The  gcKnls  are  also  favorably  known  in  the  luiro- 
pean  and  .Australian  markets,  as  well  as  our  Pacific  Coast. 

They  are  ofTered  in  twenty  sizes,  and  shipments  are  such 
that  Mr. Mace  can  take  care  of  orders  for  500.000  cigars  im- 
niediatelv.    His  headtjuarters  are  at  43  John  St.,  Xew  York.

reception  room  and  offices,  the  second  for  shipping  and  the 
balance  f(.r  stock.  The  building  is  located  on  the  corner  of

Hartfdrd  BuiLOiNti,  New  York. 

New  Salesman  for  Ruy  Suarez  &   Co. 

1 11'^  cigar  manufacturing  firm  of  Kuy  Suarez  &  Co.  has 
secured  the  services  of  J.  C.  KruU,  an  old-time  sales- 
man in  the  clear  1  lavana  line. 

rTr.  Krull  has  had  many  years'  experience  in  selling  high- 
class  g«Jods,  and  with  *'L1  IManco"  will  no  doubt  score  a  brilliant 
success.  His  first  connection  in  the  trade  was  with  the  1^.  H. 
(iato  Cigar  C<»..  which  he  later  severed  to  place  the  product  of 
(ionzales,  Mora  &  Co.,  and  was  with  that  firm  until  they  were 
forced  to  close  down  on  account  of  the  Spanish-American  War. 
At  this  time  he  went  into  business  for  himself  in  lialtimore,  and 
four  years  later,  at  the  time  of  the  tire  in  that  city,  went  on 
the  road  for  F.  Garcia  &  liros. 

Having  been  out  of  the  held  for  fifteen  months,  his  many 
friends  in  the  trade  will  welcome  his  return. 

He  left  on  .\pril  9th  for  Xew  York  State  and  the  West. 


A  Sumatra  Tobacco  Student  in  New  York. 

Peter  Hansen,  manager  for  years  past  of  the  only  hjig- 
lisli  tobacco  planting  company  on  the  island  of  Sumatra, 
talked    interestingly   in    Xew    York    recently    on    the   industry 

there. 

Among  othr  things  he  said  that  over  production  there 
was  seldom  and  that  croi)s  were  kept  within  limits.  The 
favanese  and  Chinese  till  the  soil,  and  Hansen  thinks  them 
the  best  of  any  labor  to  be  had.  The  help  is  imported,  the 
Sumatrans  being  noted  for  their  laziness.  Sumatra  is  bigger 
than  Prussia,  yet  it  has  only  5,000.000  inhabitants  and  these 
get  fed  without  much  labor.  Java,  on  the  contrary,  has  30,- 
000,000  i)eople,  and  they  are  glad  to  go  to  Sumatra  to  work

The  Dutch  succeed  in  Java  and  Sumatra  because  they 
do  not  attempt  to  upset  local  conditions.  h:arth(|uakes  are 
fre(|uent  in  Sumatra  and  the  visits  of  Americans  increasing. 
Life  is  a  grind  there,  and  still  the  i)eople  indulge  in  tennis, 
horseback  riding  and   picnics. 

Sumatra  well  understands  that  she  imxluces  a  beautiful 
wrapping  leaf  i)eculiar  to  her  soil,  and  the  growers  of  it  see 
that  they  get  good  prices.

The  fir^t  cigar  store  of  M.  A.  (lunst  in  Xew  York  City 
was  opened  on  West  Forty-second  street  this  week.  It  is 
believed  that  this  will  be  the  first  of  a  chain  of  stores  that  the 
(lunst  interests,  of  San  hrancisco.  intend  to  establish  in  the 
metroi)olis.  Speaking  of  his  plans,  Mr.  (iunst  said:  "We 
have  not  come  here  to  set  the  town  on  fire,  Init  to  do  a  straight, 
legitimate  business.  We  do  not  intend  to  open  any  more  stores 
until  this  one  pays.  We  intend  to  creep  before  we  walk.  We 
do  not  wish  to  be  deemed  rivals  of  the  so-called  trusts,  for  we 
shall  not  be." 

I.  1).  Manton.  of  Manton-tiovern  Co.,  returned  to  New 
^'()rk  after  a  very  successful  tri])  through  the  West.  Mr.  Man- 
ton  is  well  pleased  with  results,  having  opened  up  several  new 
accounts  in  that  territory  and  booked  some  good-sized  orders 
on  the  "Lauriana"  and  "Myriana"  cigars,  as  well  as  their  new 
brand  "Mantora."  which  will  keep  their  factory  busy  for  some 
time  to  come. 

Ralph  Oppenheim,  of  bMatauer  &  ( )ppenheim,  who  re- 
turned to  New  York  on  April  ist,  after  an  extended  trip 
through  the  West,  remained  in  the  city  only  a  few  days.  ( )n 
the  lotli  inst.  he  started  out  again  to  virtually  recover  the  same 
territory,  and  expects  to  be  away  this  time  about  a  month. 

kicardo  Rodriguez,  of  H.  Diaz  &  Co.,  imporers  of  Havana 
tobacco,  144  Water  street,  sailed  on  April  2nd  for  a  short  trip 
of  a  couple  of  weeks  to  Havana,  where  he  will  confer  with 
his  iiartner,  B.  Diaz,  and  also  meet  his  son.  F.  Rodriguez,  of 
V.  Rodriguez  y  Ca.  The  latter  has  been  at  his  factory  in  Ha- 
vana for  some  time  and  both  will  return  to  their  Xew  York 
offices  about  Ai)ril  I4tli. 

Edward  Wodiska,  of  Corral,  Wodiska  y  Ca.  of  Tampa, 
Fla.,  spent  a  week  in  New  York  a  fortnight  ago,  where  he 
again  met  his  old  friends  in  the  city.  He  came  here  from  Chi- 
cago and  continued  his  trip  to  Boston,  returning  to  Cleveland. 
Chicago  and  the  i)rincipal  Western  and  Southwestern  cities, 
and  expects  to  reach  their  factory  at  Tampa  the  latter  part  of 
May.  Mr.  Wodiska  reports  business  conditions  with  his  house 
in  splendid  shape  and  is  very  much  i)lease(l  with  his  results  on 
the  "Julia  Marlowe"  and  "La  Duse"  cigars  during  the  present 
trip. 

B.  Feifer,  of  B.  Feifer  &  Co..  who  left  New  York  in  Feb- 
ruary, has  now  reached  San  Francisco.  Reports  from  his 
New  York  office  state  Mr.  Feifer  is  meeting  with  very  good 
success,  which  is  evidenced  by  the  handsome  orders  they  are 
receiving  from  him  on  the  "Holland  Society"  and  "Uni(Mi 
Fives."  Up  is  not  expected  back  in  New  York  much  before 
May  15th. 

J.  M.  Gans,  of  Cans  Bros.,  who  left  the  city  a  couple  of 
weeks  ago  on  an  extended  trip  covering  the  trade  through  the 
West  and  Northwest,  is  now  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  PTe  will  be 
on  the  go  for  another  month  before  retuming  to  his  New  York 
office. 

Charles  M.  Jacobs,  of  Carlos.  I'ernandez  &  Co.,  42  E. 
23r(l  street.  New  York,  reports  continued  activity  in  the  firm's 
big  importations  of  Manila  cigars,  and  says  that  the  popularity 
of  the  goods  seems  to  be  increasing  with  each  succeeding  week. 

Carlos,  Fernandez  &  Co.'s  arrangements  for  Manila  im- 
portations arc  unexcelled  by  any  other  concern  in  the  country 
and  the  most  satisfactory  part  of  their  business  is  that  such 
houses  as  have  bought  from  them  have  sent  in  repeat  orders 
with  satisfying  regularity. 

T.  B.  TIenney,  C.  F.  DeLorris  and  W.  J.  Masterson.  of 
Xew  York  Citv,  have  incorporated  as  R.  Morgan  &  Co.,  with 
a  capital  of  v$50,ooo,  to  make  and  deal  in  cigars,  tobacco, 
pipes,  etc.

Company  have  been  compelled  to  take  an  a«lilitional  tltntr  in 
their  building  at  70-Jl^  l''ult«>n  street.  .\.  N  ..  which  they  wUl 
occupy  shortly  after  .May  ist.  In  the  rearrangement,  the  offices, 
shijiping  and  packing  room  will  be  on  the  lower  tl<H)r,  leaving 
the  entire  present  t1(H)r  for  manufacturing  puriH>ses  only,  and 
which  will  then  have  a  cai)acity  for  Jtx)  cigar  makers.  With 
Kio  \  ista  in  the  lead,  their  other  all-Havana  brands  are  Rio- 
letta.  Coradijia  and  La  Calero.

tion of  the  tobacco  cn»p.  .Mr.  St)la  will  remain  there  for  a

Oscar  C.  llene.  manager  of  the  cigar  •le])artment  of 
Austin,  .\ichols  &  Co.,  of  New  York,  has  been  much  interested 
in  **E1  Planco"  cigar  of  the  Ruy  Suarez  Co.,  of  Xew  York, 
which  is  made  up  in  seventeen  sizes.  I'pon  recently  visiting 
the  factory  he  secured  the  distributing  agency  for  the  goods 
and  stHiie  special  advertising  is  to  be  done  to  exploit  it  among 
consumers.  Both  principals  are  to  be  congratulate<l  upon  the 
successful  consummation  of  this  arrangement. 

The  **  Spilman  "  Specialties. 

II'  success  which  has  met  the  tobacco  products,  man- 
ufactured by  the  V..  HotTman  Co.,  Chicago,  is  a  natu- 
ral result  of  the  policv  <>f  this  house,  which  aims  not 
onlv  to  sell  goods  to  the  dealers,  but  to  sell  them  for 
them. 

The  specialties  of  this  house  are  "Spilman's  Mixture." 
a  smokijig  tobacco  without  a  bite  or  a  regret,  and  the  "Spil- 
man Mixture"  cigarettes.  The  company  will  be  pleased  to  send

Robert  E.  Lane,  independent  dealer  in  cigars  and  tobacco. 
16  Wall  street,  Xew  York,  and  having  stands  in  a  number  of 
down-town  office  buildings,  was  filed  into  bankruptcy  April 
6th  by  Thomas  &  Oppenheimer,  attorneys  for  a  number  t)f  cred- 
itors. The  debts  are  estimated  at  some  i^40,o(x^  and  assets  about 
S20.000.  Mr.  Lane's  stands  were  at  <H  r.roadway,  two  at  in 
Broadwav  and  two  at  20-25  Broad  street,  his  total  rentals  paid 

being  $i6.0(X).

Attorney  N.  S.  Schector,  representative  of  Mr.  Lane,  states 
that  the  indications  arc  that  the  creditors  will  receive  about 
75  cents  on  the  dollar. 


Richmond  Factories  Busy. 

Shipments  of  cigars,  cigarettes  and  tobacco  from  Rich- 
mond, Va.,  during  the  first  two  weeks  of  April  have  been 
record  breakers.  There  has  been  considerable  activity  in  the 
Richmond  market  lately  not  only  to  supply  the  domestic  de- 
mand, but  to  provide  for  export  business,  which  has  been 
unusually  heavy.

Output  of  First  Internal  Revenue  District. 

I  A  1  <  <  <  )l\l)lX(i  to  the  rcpnrt  of  the  Internal  Revenue 
[./m  I  Collector  of  the  h'irst  District  of  Pennsylvania  of 
[HJ^I^  the  sale  of  revenue  stamps  for  tohacco  product  the 
cij^ar  husiness  was  not  so  had  as  might  have  hcen 
suppose(|.  Accordinj^  to  these  report^  the  production  of  cij^ars 
durinj^^  the  month  of  March  anioimted  to  55,346.000.  Durinj^ 
the  month  of  March  of  last  year  the  output  accordinji^  to  the 
sale  of  stamps  amounted  to  5^>.'i33/>5^>.  A  comparison  of  these 
fij^Mires  would  show  the  apparent  decline  in  the  cij^jar  trade  of 
8S7,o5o.o(xi  cigars. 

The  cigarette  industry  ahout  held  its  own,  and  at  this 
writing  cigarette  manufacturers  report  an  active  demand  for 
goods,  and  attrihute  it  to  an  anticipation  on  the  part  of  dealers 
that  the  change  in  the  internal  revenue  rates,  which  will  take 
efTect  on  July  1st.  will  prohahly  also  cause  a  change  in  the 
price  of  goods. 

In  manufactured  tobacco  the  month  of  March  has  shown 
a  substantial  gain  over  the  corresponding  period  of  last  year. 
In  reviewing  the  results,  however,  we  should  bear  in  minrl  that 
during  a  considerable  portion  of  the  month  of  March,  this 
entire  city  was  in  a  state  of  turmoil,  owing  to  the  strike  of  street 
railwav  company  employes.  It  is  candidly  believed  that  had 
it  not  i)een  for  local  disturbances  the  T-'irst  District  would  have 
shown  an  actual  gain,  rather  than  a  slight  loss  in  volume  of 
business  done. 


A  New  Philadelphia  Concern. 
f  ^^  \  \  May  1st  the  (lilbert  Cigar  .Manufacturing  Company. 
[  vJ  J  Limited,  will  commence  the  manufacture  of  cigars  in 
[RnnJl  I'hiladelphia  at  a  commodious  ])lant  which  they  have 
^^^^  secured  at  5145  De  T.ancey  street,  West  Philadelphia. 
I  lere  thev  have  a  plant  well  adapted  to  cigar  manufacture,  with 
a  floor  space  22  x  100  feet.  The  members  of  the  new  firm  in- 
clude Messrs.  A.  Otis,  president;  J.  Gilbert,  vice-president; 
lohu  P.akcr,  secretary  and  treasurer,  with  whom  is  associated 
1^.  A.  I  lofTmeister.  who  is  a  veteran  in  the  cigar  business. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  company  to  put  several  new 
brands  of  goods  on  the  market  within  a  short  time,  and  their 
plant  and  equipment  augur  well  for  the  success  of  the  venture. 

The  United  Cigar  Stores  Co..  of  this  city,  have  been  using 
liberally  of  newsi)aper  space  lately  in  exploiting  their  Manila 
j)ro(lucts,  and  at  various  prices  ranging  from  $1.25  per  box  of 
25  to  3-for-25  cents. 


Roig  &  Langsdorf  Increase  Sales  Force 

X  accordance  with  their  policy  of  reorganizing  their 
sales  force  by  putting  stronger  men  wherever  needed, 
Antonio  Roig  &  Langsdorf,  of  Piiiladelphia,  have 
recently  made  several  important  changes  in  their  or- 
ganization. This  week  Ernest  A.  Hallenbeck,  sales  manager, 
c<)mi)leted  arrangements  with  Warren  S.  Teague,  of  Indian- 
apolis, to  sell  the  Roig  lines  in  the  Middle  We.st.  Mr.  Teague 
will  make  his  headf|uarters  in  Indianapolis,  and  travel  from 
thence  to  Denver.  He  is  no  stranger  in  this  field,  having  re- 
cently been  a  general  representative  for  the  Compeer  Cigar  Co., 
of  his  home  city,  and  prior  to  that  he  was  salesman  for  the 
Deisel-Wommer  Co.,  of  Lima,  Ohio. 

Joe  Greene,  who  has  successfully  represented  the  Roig 
lines  in  Georgia,  recently  had  his  territory  extended  to  include 
North  and  South  Carolina.  In  a  short  time  he  has  shown  a 
big  increase  in  business,  and  the  reports  from  Dixie  land  to  the 
FMiiladelphia  firm  have  been  most  gratifying.  Speaking  of 
Philadelphia  trade,  Mr.  Hallenbeck  stated  that  the  l(x\'d  busi- 
ness in  the  last  month  or  so  has  been  record  breaking  on  their 
three  popular  grades — "Londres,"  "Habanero"  and  "Reina 
Marie." 

Delegates  to  National  Convention. 

Julius  Vetterlein,  president  of  the  Philadelphia  Leaf  To- 
bacco P)oard  of  Trade,  has  announced  the  following  delegates

The  delegates  will  leave  this  city  on  Sunday,  May  8th, 
and  may  join  other  delegates  from  Western  points  as  they  pass 
through  this  city. 

Still  Booming  44  Cigars. 

The  44  Cigar  Co.  advise  us  that  during  the  recent  trip  of 
( ).  L.  Myers  to  the  West  in  the  interest  of  the  house  he  suc- 
ceeded in  interesting  Martin  l*rothers,  of  Davenport  and 
Waterloo,  Iowa,  to  take  the  distributing  agency  of  the  44 
cigar  in  their  territory,  and  that  they  are  already  meeting  with 
much  success  with  the  goods.  The  house  covers  the  States  of 
Iowa,  Southern  Minnesota  and  a  portion  of  South  Dakota.

Philip  Frank  Estate  In  Trust. 

The  entire  estate  of  Philip  Frank,  who  died  on  March 
22nd  in  this  city,  and  who  left  a  fortune  of  $200,000,  is  de- 
vised in  trust,  by  his  will  and  which  was  admitted  to  probate 
a  few  days  ago.  The  net  income  is  directed  to  be  paid  to  the 
widow.  Maria  J.  Frank,  during  her  life.  Upon  her  decease 
the  principal  of  the  trust  fund  is  to  be  divided  equally  be- 
tween Agnes  P.  Frank,  a  daughter,  and  Philip  J.  Frank.  Jr., 
and  Louis  J.  Frank,  sons  of  the  testator. 

As  stated  in  cnir  last  issue.  Mr.  Frank  was  the  founder 
of  the  firm  of  Philip  and  John  Frank,  now  doing  business  in 
New  York. 


John  II.  l)oltz.  head  of  the  firm  of  Boltz,  Clvmer  &  Co., 
left  Philadelphia  April  9th  for  Tampa  to  supervise  the  work 
of  the  erection  of  the  new  factory  of  this  firm.  It  is  Mr.  Boltz's 
intention  to  remain  in  Tampa  about  three  or  four  weeks. 

Mahlon  A.  Funk  and  Max  Lipschutz,  the  last  named  of 
whom  is  the  advertising  manager  of  the  44  Cigar  Co.,  have 
lately  taken  Trenton  by  storm  and  literally  covered  that  good 
old  town  with  their  advertising  thunder.  Their  goods  are 
handled  in  Trenton  by  the  James  F.  Bruther  Estate. 

Geo.  M.  Weaver,  of  the  old  firm  of  Henry  M.  Weaver  & 
Son.  at  Sixth  and  Race  streets,  informs  us  that  although  they 
had  been  in  business  for  a  period  of  more  than  fifty  years,  they 
had  had  one  month's  business  this  si)ring  that  far  eclipsed  the 
largest  sales  record  ever  established  by  the  firm.  They  are 
feeling  a  slight  depression  at  present,  but  believe  it  will  be  only 
short  lived. 

Attention  has  been  called  to  the  fact  that  in  our  reference 
to  the  death  of  H.  Dolinsky.  published  in  our  last  issue  of  Tiik 
Tobacco  WoRr.D,  his  name  was  given  as  Henry  Dolinsky, 
whereas  his  real  name  was  Harris  Dolinsky.  Mr.  Dolinsky 
was,  however,  so  well  known  to  the  members  of  the  trade  in 
various  parts  of  the  country  that  it  could  not  have  caused  much 
confusion. 

T.  H.  Hart  &  Co.,  Philadeli)hia  distributors,  report  that 
business  has  been  quite  brisk  in  the  last  few  weeks,  showing  a 
notable  improvement  in  all  branches.  In  the  retail  department 
a  big  window  display  was  given  this  week  on  Manila  cigars, 
featuring  the  five-cent  goods  of  the  Dos  Hermanas  factory. 
These  goods  are  sold  in  100  lots  at  $4.80  and  the  entire  con- 
signment was  cleaned  up  in  a  few  days.  Business  on  "Leda" 
cigars,  for  which  this  firm  are  Eastern  distributors,  has  been 
well  maintained. 

Mitchell,  Fletcher  &  Co.,  recently  had  an  attractive  dis- 
play of  Nestor  cigarettes  in  the  show  windows  of  their  store 
at  Twelfth  and  Chestnut  streets.  In  the  center  of  the  display 
were  three  large  photographs  showing  views  of  the  factory 
of  the  Nestor  Company  in  Cairo,  Egypt.  One  view  showed 
the  outside  of  the  Cairo  factory,  another  showed  a  group  of 
Eg>^ptians  piling,  sorting  and  blending  the  cigarette  tobacco, 
while  the  third  photograph  showed  a  well  arranged  room  and 
the  operatives  rolling  cigarettes.  Grouped  about  this  photo- 
graph were  tiers  and  tiers  of  Nestor  cigarettes  in  various  sizes, 
and  upon  the  whole  the  display  was  very  eflfective. 


Treasurer  Edwin  D.  Axton.  of  the  Axton-Fisher  Tobacco

all  right  and  is  believed  to  be  out  of  danger.

Silas  C".  ICniK'iitroiit.  a  well-known  tobacconist  at  Keadinjjj. 
I 'a..  (lied  several  days  a^o  at  his  home  }^22  I'enn  street,  in  that 
city.  Althonj^h  he  had  heen  in  failing  health  since  last  Christ- 
mas, he  had  heen  confnied  to  his  bed  only  two  weeks.  Mr. 
i1u<»|-.>ji[  i;  u.vM|  i)iu|  pin;  \i^v.  jo  sjr.i.C  i\;  sv.a\  jn<uuioiLU%j 
resident  of  that  city,  and  for  more  than  thirty-tive  years  he 
ha<l  heen  enj^aged  in  the  tobacco  business.  His  store  was 
located  on  the  first  lloor  of  the  premises  at  ;^22  IVnn  street. 

Joseph  L.  I'.randenstein.  pioneer  cigar  dealer  of  San 
I'rancisco.  and  who  came  to  ("alifornia  in  1850,  died  recently 
in  that  city  at  the  advanced  age  of  H2  years. 

When  .Mr.  T.randenstein  first  reached  San  I^Vancisco,  the" 
present  city  was  little  more  than  a  cam))  for  miners,  lie 
M)«»n  embarked  in  the  cigar  business,  which  at  that  time  was 
a  more  or  less  precarious  venture,  and  nearly  all  the  cigars 
reached  there  via  (ape  I  lorn  in  sailing  vessels.  The  un- 
certaintv  of  the  arrival  of  these  ships  made  market  condi- 
tions very  uncertain  and  fre(|uently  caused  much  fluctuation 
in  prices,  but  it  presented  opportunities  to  the  shrewd  busi- 
ness man  for  the  rai)id  accumulation  of  a  competency.  It 
was  then  that  .Mr.  jirandenstein  laid  the  foundation  of  a 
fortune,  and  many  years  ago  he  retired  from  business,  devot- 
ing his  time  largely  to  charities,  lie  was  for  years  connected 
with  the  firm  of  .\.  S.  Rosenbaum  &  Co..  and  at  the  time 
of  his  death  was  a  prominent  figure  in  many  local  organiza- 
tions. 


Daniel  Dressner.  one  of  the  oldest  cigar  manufacturers 
of  llrooklyn.  and  for  many  years  of  the  firm  of  Dressner 
r.ros..  at  18^  hultoii  streets,  died  recently  at  his  home  107 
Hicks  streets.  .Mr.  Dressner  had  been  a  life-long  resident  of 
Tirooklyn  and  was  a  prominent  figure  in  Jewish  circles.  He 
is  survived   bv   a   widow   and   two  daughters. 


.Mbert  II.  Tlatts.  of  the  cigar  manufacturing  firm  of 
A.  II.  I'latts  cK'  Co..  at  Ithaca.  .\.  Y..  died  unexpectedly  some 
days  ago  at  his  home  in  that  city.  Mr.  IMatts  was  65  years 
ol(i  and  was  widely  known.  He  established  the  IMatts  cigar 
factory  on  luist  State  street  in  1871,  and  it  grew  steadily 
until  it  had  become  one  of  the  largest  in  that  part  of  the 
State.  In  iSS<>  the  cigar  manufacturing  firm  of  A.  H.  Platts 
&  Co.  was  formed,  with  Mr.  Platts,  Peter  Crise.  of  Klmira. 
and  .Albert  L.  \iver.  of  Ithaca,  as  the  i)artners.  In  1907  Mr. 
Niver  retired  and  the  firm  was  continued  under  the  old  name 
by  Messrs.  Platts  and  Crise.  He  served  the  town  of  Ithaca  as 
its  thirty-eighth  ])resi(lent  and  was  always  interested  in  public 
artairs.  He  was  a  genial  man  and  his  friends  were  without 
number. 

Thomas  E.  (^icrry,  one  of  the  best  known  tobacco  growers 
in  the  Connecticut  \alley.  was  killed  on  .\i)ril  nth.  when  his 
automobile,  in  which  he  and  his  wife  were  riding,  was  struck 
by  a  passenger  train  at  lladley.  .Mass.  .Mr.  and  Mrs.  Cerry 
were  on  their  way  to  Xorth  Hampton  from  North  lladley 
when  the  accident  occurred.  Hoth  were  killed  instantly.  Mr. 
(ierry  was  fifty-five  years  old  and  went  to  lladley.  Mass.,  about 
twenty-five  years  ago  from  Boston,  and  until  several  years  ago 
he  owned  about  thirty  acres  of  land  and  grew  leaf  to  great 
success.  He  was  a  prominent  figure  in  public  affairs  and  served 
several  terms  as  selectman. 


New  Line  of  Package  Goods. 

A  new  line  of  package  goods  manufactured  by  the  North 
American  Tobacco  to.  is  now  on  the  market.  This  house  began 
business  at  Newark,  N.  J.,  several  months  ago  and  after  weeks 
of  a  careful  study  of  the  general  conditions  of  the  trade  they 
seem  to  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  notwithstanding  the 
large  number  of  brands  already  on  the  market  there  was  room 
for  more,  especially  if  they  presented  an  attractive  appearance 
and  i)osses.se(l  (juality.  The  result  is  that  they  are  now  oflfering 
their  chercK)t  products  under  the  brands  of  "Lucky  Cress"  put 
up  in  packages  of  si.x  and  retail  at  ten  cents;  "Cuban  Sticks," 
and  "Teddy  Sticks."  jnit  up  in  i)ackages  of  ten  each  and  re- 
tailed at  fifteen  cents  per  package,  while  their  "Porto  Rico 
Sticks"  consists  of  packages  of  three  each  and  are  sold  at  retail 
for  five  cents.  The  |)ackages  of  each  of  these  brands  are  strik- 
ingly attractive  and  the  factory  reports  that  the  gcMxls  are  being 
favorablv  received  evervwhere  thev  have  been  offered. 


S.  L.  Johns  Loses  Suit. 

A  verdict  in  favor  of  the  plaintiff  has  been  rendered  by  the 
Common  Pleas  Court  of  York  County,  in  an  action  brought 
by  L.  \\  .  Pfaff,  cigar  manufacturer  of  Hanover,  against  S.  L. 
Johns,  leaf  tobacco  'dealer,  to  recover  $207.50  alleged  to  be 
owing  to  PfafT  for  cigars  delivered  to  the  defendant. 

Mr.  Johns  in  his  defense  averred  that  the  plaintiff  had  re- 
fuse<l  to  retain  certain  Plorida  tobacco  bought  from  the  de- 
fendant and  that  it  had  caused  him  a  loss  which  he  sought  to 
recover  in  this  way.  His  action  was  overruled  by  the  court 
and  judgment  rendered  for  the  amount  of  the  plaintiff's  claim. 


After  the  Burley  Pooled  Tobacco. 

Advices  from  Lexington,  Ky.,  state  that  it  looks  now  as  if 
the  i<)0(j  crop  of  tobacco  pooled  with  the  lUirley  Tobacco 
S(x:iety,  will  go  chiefly  to  the  .American  Tobacco  Company. 
The  price  at  which  the  tobacco  will  be  sold  is  to  be  $18.00 
per  hundred  pounds.  .Some  staticians  state  that  the  Americian 
Tobacco  Company  had  already  purchased  200.000.000  j)ounds 
this  sea.son  and  will  not  need  the  society's  crop,  but  other  in- 
formation is  to  the  effect  that  the  .American  Tobacco  Com- 
pany's largest  purchases  do  not  aggregate  more  than  150,- 
000,000  and  that  they  will  need  pooled  tobacco. 


Death  of  William  Cameron 

William  Cameron,  formerly  a  member  of  the  widely 
known  firm  of  Cameron  &  Cameron,  tobacco  manufacturers 
at  Richmond.  Va.,  died  suddenly  from  heart  failure  while 
breakfasting  at  the  Westmoreland  Club,  in  Richmond,  on 
April  5th.  Mr.  Cameron  was  associated  with  his  brother, 
Alexander  Cameron,  Sr..  and  who  founded  the  firm  of  Cam- 
eron &  Cameron  many  years  ago,  and  continued  in  business 
there  until  about  six  years  ago,  when  they  sold  out  to  the 
American  Tobacco  Company.  He  came  to  this  country  from 
Morayshire,  Scotland,  many  years  ago.  and  soon  after  en- 
tered the  tobacco  trade  at  Richmond,  founding  the  firm,  as 
alK)ve  .stated.  During  the  Civil  W^ar  he  entered  the  Con- 
federate .Anny  and  rose  to  the  rank  of  colonel..  His  wife  was 
a  relative  of  (ieneral  Robert  E.  Lee.  He  was  a  man  of  strong 
personality,  shrewd  in  business,  yet  liberal  at  heart.  He  was 
prominently  identified  with  financial  interests  at  Richmond. 
Init  has  not  been  actively  engaged  in  the  tobacco  business 
since  his  firm  .sold  out.  He  is  an  uncle  of  .Alexander  Cam- 
eron, Jr.,  now  a  member  of  the  Surburg  Company. 


The  Camden  Cigar  Co.,  of  Bangor,  Me.,  has  moved  to  a 
new  building  recently  purchased  by  this  company  on  Elm  street, 
that  city.

day  of  March,  show  an  increase  of.  say,  25  per  cent, 
over  the  same  periotl  last  year;  and,  with  internal 
revenue  receipts,  customs  receipts,  etc.,  all  in  about 
the  .same  boat,  the  outlook  for  1910,  as  far  as  this  city,  with 
its  great  cigar  industry,  is  concerned,  is  (|uite  bright.  Cigar 
manufacturers  are  a  unit  in  declaring  that  their  business  during 
.March  showed  a  healthy  and  substantial  increase  over  the  same 
month  in  n/yj.  They  are  (|uite  ()j)timistic  over  the  outlook 
for  the  summer.  The  tone  of  the  advance  business,  they  de- 
clare to  be  a  healthy  one.  along  normal  line^. 

To  come  to  figures,  the  customs  receipts  here  for  March 
totaled  $i()9. 727.7 1,  an  increase  over  the  same  month  last  year 
of  $5455.90.  The  increase  in  cigar  shij>mejits  (r/).o  15.000)  for 
the  quarter  ending  .March  31  over  the  same  period  last  year

Receipts  of  tobacco  from  1  lavana  from  March  26th  to  date 
(.April  iith)  totaled  2708  bales.  Apart  from  these  receipts  is

Sanchez  &  II.\v.\  Dkl.wed. 

Owing  to  the  fact  that  a  shipment  of  brick  for  the  new 
.Sanchez  &.  Haya  factory  did  not  correspond  with  the  brick 
being  used  in  finishing  otT  the  front  of  their  new  home,  the 
completion  of  the  factory,  and  its  occui)ancy  by  its  owners,  will 
be  about  the  last  of  this  month.  They  had  hoped  to  ukjvc  into 
the  building  this  week,  but  this  will  now  be  impossible. 

The  trouble  in  the  Celestino  \  ega  factory,  which  resulted 
in  a  coffee  shop  proprietor  firing  a  shot  at  the  foreman  of  the 
place,  came  near  working  itself  into  a  strike  last  week.  .A  num- 
ber of  the  cigarmakers,  not  liking  the  new  foreman,  were  dis- 
posed to  carry  grievances  against  him  to  the  heads  of  the  firm, 
and  the  matter  was  immediately  taken  in  hand  by  the  com- 
mittee from  the  Clear  Havana  Cigar  .Manufacturers'  Associa- 
tion and  the  union  committee.  The  matter  was  assuming  an 
ugly  look;  the  association  committee  supported  Manuel  Trullis, 
the  foreman,  and  the  firm  of  Celestino  \'cga  &  Co.  The  com- 
mittee from  the  union  begged  Mr  Trullis  to  resign  and  save  a 
-strike  that  might  become  general.  He  did  so,  although  he  was 
supported  by  his  firm  and  the  association  committee.  His  act 
called  forth  great  praise  from  all  interested  in  the  industry. 

Simon  (jonzales,  Sanchez  &  Maya's  well-known  buyer  in 
Cuba,  is  expected  here  from  the  island  this  week.  He  has 
made  .some  extensive  filler  purchases  for  his  firm,  and  incident- 
ally has  been  looking  over  the  crop  situation  in  the  island 
closely.  Mr.  (ionzales'  report  on  conditions  in  Cuba  will  be 
awaited  with  interest  by  the  heads  of  the  firm  here. 

New  F.actories  Growinc;  up  Rapidly. 
The  work  on  the  new  factory  building  of  Samuel  I.  Davis 
&    Co.    is   progressing   nicely,   the    second    story   having   been 
reached.     The  Boltz-Clymer  people  are  making  good  headway 


with  their  new  fact<iry  as  well.  In  this  connection.  Robert

Palbin  Brothers  have  been  making  xune  tremendous 
shipments  since  the  first  of  the  month.  Their  "'f.lisardo"  braiul 
is  proving  a  steadily  growing  favorite.  In  llii>  C(»nnection. 
it  might  not  be  amiss  to  remark  that  this  cigar  is  one  of  the 
most  p(.)i)ular  in  Tampa's  best  cafe>  and  restaurants  here,  where 
a  good  cigar  is  no  novelty  and  every  known  brand  tluit  is  worth

Cigar  Trade  at  Detroit  Booming. 
Some  Factories  Hard  Pressed  to  Make  Deliveries  —Retail  Notes. 

DiiTRoiT,  April  11,  1910. 

A  I  L  riK  )l'(Jll  twenty  counties  went  "dry"  in  the  recent 
^_^  >^\m\\^  elections,  Detroit  and  Michigan  tobacco  nianu- 
factmers  arc  not  discouraged  over  tlie  outlook.  Local 
factories  are  nuniing  full  and  the  oidy  difficulty  seems 
to  he  in  getting  sufticient  help  to  turn  out  the  goods  fast 
enough.  Instead  of  decreasing  with  Spring,  trade  has  in- 
creased and,  if  orders  «jn  file  are  an  indication,  will  continue 
to  increase  for  some  m<»nths.  Wholesalers  and  retailers  also 
<leclare  there  is  a  good  trade  and  the  outlook  is  for  a  banner 
year. 

luiough  nitroglycerine  to  blow  up  a  biittleship  was  used 
by  safe  crackers  in  an  attemi)t  to  n»b  the  safe  in  William 
Tegge's  cigar  factory,  937-9  Dubois  street,  recently.  The  charge, 
however,  made  such  a  noise  that  the  woidd-be  binglars  were 
frightened  away  and  J>1  i(X),  in  checks  and  currency,  remained 
in  the  safe.  The  factory  was  badly  wrecked  by  the  explosion, 
the  steel  door  of  the  safe  flying  through  a  window,  taking  cas- 
ing, sash  and  all.  (  )ther  doors  and  windows  were  blown  out, 
the  damage  amounting  to  aboiU  .S5(K").  Three  suspects,  George 
Stone,  Mickey  Welch  and  William  (lallagher.  were  arrested, 
charged  with  the  crime.  \\  hen  arrested,  a  business  billhead  be- 
longing to  Mr.  Tegge  was  found,  and  it  is  said  by  the  police 
Stone  was  never  employed  at  the  Tegge  factory. 

C\  J.  Holton.  Detroit,  t<ibacco  dealer,  recently  caught  a 
string  of  several  hmidred  perch  in  a  few  hours'  fishing. 


Thieves  recently  entered  Thomas  Dick's  store,  on  Cadillac 
S(|uare,  and  stole  a  (juantity  of  cigars  and  also  $24  in  cash.

C.  B.  Henschel  Maiuifacturing  Cotnpany,  cigarbox  mak- 
ers of  this  city,  filed  an  amendment  increasing  their  capital 
stock  from  $100,000  to  $2(X).ooo.  Robert  G.  liayssen,  vice- 
president  of  the  firm,  stated  that  they  expect  to  increase  their 
capacity.  Other  otYicers  of  the  firm  are:  Chas.  B.  Henschel, 
l)resident ;  Barney  E.  Henschel,  secretary,  and  .Miss  lunma 
Henschel,  treasurer. 

The  cigar  manufacturing  firm  of  H.  v^  \\.  Kerns,  has  been 
changed  to  Kerns,  Kimball  Conii)any.  Mr.  Kimball  was  for- 
merly associated  with  E.  M.  .Schwarz  Company.  The  firm 
report  a  good  business  on  their  Corazo  clear  Havana  g<>ods. 
This  cigar  is  being  placed  in  the  Northwest  with  good  success. 

Retail  trade  in  Milwaukee  has  been  very  good.  Collec- 
tions have  also  improved  considerably.  Country  trade  has  not 
been  so  good. 

Steve  Surman  &  Company  have  been  featuring  the  Blen- 
tius  Cigar.  They  have  met  with  good  success  in  placing  this 
cigar  about  town. 

The  Wells  Building  store  of  Fay  Lewis  &  liro.  Company 
have  a  novel  display  showing  a  Cuban  cigarmaker  manufactur- 
ing Harvester  cigars.  The  sale  on  this  brand  has  been  fairly 
gocxl  in  consequence  of  this  advertising.  Harry  Conley  has 
resigned  as  clerk  at  this  store.  The  Pabst  lUiilding  store  are 
displaying  Fay  Lewis's  Club  House  and  also  the  Tom  Moore 
and  Little  Tom. 

The  Abraham  stores  report  a  good  business.  Norman 
Epstein,  formerly  at  the  Caswell  lilock,  has  been  transferred  to 
83  Wisconsin  street,  while  J.  H.  Stace  has  moved  to  the  Cas- 
well Block  store.  The  latter,  however,  will  shortly  sever  his 
connection  with  the  firm  to  accept  a  road  position  traveling  in 
South  Dakota.  Floyd  Byron,  formerly  with  the  Fay  Lewis 
.stores,  is  now  connected  with  the  Majestic  lUiilding  store  of 
y\braham  &  Company.  Mr.  Leo  .Abraham,  who  has  been  so- 
journing at   Hot  Springs,   will   return   about   the   fifteenth  of 

the  month. 

The  Wright  Drug  Company  have  been  featuring  the  Lit- 
tle Bobby  cigar  and  rei)ort  a  good  business.  Dadds  Drug 
Store  are  displaying  the  .Masterpiece,  while  Spiegel  has  been 
devoting  the  cigar  window  to  Calabash  pipes. 

John  Highlan  reports  a  good  business,  while  Art  Meister 
is  also  doing  his  share.  The  E(|uity  cigar  has  been  given  the 
benefit  of  a  witidow  display  at  the  latter's  .store. 

Allanson,  who  is  enjoying  brisk  trades,  has  an  attractive 
window,  featuring  the  Aragona. 

Drexler  &  Jenneches  report  a  good  business.  The  High 
Sovereign  was  recently  added.  Their  187,  which  they  named 
their  own  brand,  is  proving  quite  po])ular,  and  beside  the  man 
in  the  window  they  have  added  several  cigarmakers. 

The  jobbing  trade  report  a  gradually  increasing  business. 
Tindall,  Colbe  &  McDowell  Company,  jobbers  of  the  Grace 
Kimball,  have  taken  on  the  Corazo  of  the  Kems-Kimball 
Company. 


•Among  the  trade  visitors  were  Lewis  Glen  and  Mr.  I  ripp, 
with  Berriman  Bros.,  and  Mr.  Daily,  of  the  .MerchaiUs  lobacco 
Company. 

Christ  Meyer  has  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  cigars  at 
Two  Rivers.  Wisconsin.

Tl  I  1 1*',    cigar    and    tobacco    business    continued    generally 
good  during  the  fir>t  half  of  .\pril.      The  leaf  tobacco 
dealer>   report   things   very    fair,  and   the   retailers   in 
all  part>  of  the  city  feel  a  general  increase  in  business. 
Chicago  has  had  an  unusually  early  Spring  this  year,  and 
conse(|uently  all  line>  of  bu^inos  seem  t(»  be  a  little  in  advance 
of  last  year. 

.\  rather  peculiar  couditiou  of  affairs  exists  here  as  re- 
gards the  clear  Havana  cigar  busiuos.  .Nearly  every  factory 
of  any  ctuisequence  in  the  United  States  expects  inul  aims  at 
getting  a  nice  business  out  of  Chicago.  They  ligure  that  its 
being  the  "Great  Central  .Market"  makes  it  a  good  poiut  to 
popularize  a  brand.  They  come  here  and  hunt  for  tin-  jobber 
for  their  line,  and  they  go  away  disappointed  in  a  great  many 
instances,  or  they  place  their  line  with  a  jol)l)er.  Ihe  average 
jobber  has  anywhere  from  'iwM  to  twenty  clear  Havana  lines. 
He  does  a  little  with  each  line,  and  does  n».l  set  the  world  on 
fire  with  any  of  them.  The  manufacturer  soon  becomes  dissat- 
isfied, and  finallv  places  a  .salesman  in  the  city,  wh«»  takes 
orders  for  factory  shipments  at  almost  as  low  a  price  as  the 
jobber  had  to  pay  for  the  good>.  The  ultimate  result  of  doing 
business  on  such  a  basis  i^  apparent.  The  jobber  cuts  his 
various  brands  to  meet  tlu'  fact(»ry  pric*.-.  and  then  complains 
about  small  profits. 

( )n  accctunt  (tf  thi--  condition  of  affairs  many  joblKr>^  are 
connecting  themselves  with  f.ictories. 

The  \\.  Ilori'man  Company  are  complaining  becau^^e  they 
cannot  get  encuigh  of  the  New  I'.achelors  to  supply  the  trade. 
T.  \.  Duim  &  Company,  makers  of  this  brand,  are  building  a 
new  factory,  which  will  be  ready  in  about  sixty  days. 

Mrs-.  C«tuthoui.  of  Auditorium  fame,  has  leased  the  cigar 
privileges  in  the  new  lV(^ples  Gas  Light  ^:  Coke  liuilding  for 
$5000  a  year. 

C.  Jevne  &  Company  added  the  famous  Charle>  the  Great

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Tlb^  Conlbam 


From  Our 

Exclusive   Bureau

Havana,  Cuba.

Havana,  April,  Sili,  1910. 
rSI\l''SS  f(»r  the  past  fortnight  has  been  very  (juiet, 
aii<l  niily  a  few  \<»rtheni  buyers  have  come  here. 
W  hile  stocks  in  first  hands  are  no  lonj^er  anii)le,  tliere 
ari',  ho\ve\  er.  en(»n|^h  accej)table  \  ej^as  to  be  found 
in  our  market,  whieli  should  tempt  manufacturers  and  dealers 
to  come  liere.  particularly  as  the  outlook  for  the  cominj;  crop 
is  by  no  means  favorable.  That  j)rices  for  choice  new  j;.M;ds 
will  be  Iii;4her,  seems  also  a  forej^one  conclusion,  and  if  our 
packers  and  dealers  were  speculators,  they  would  hold  on  t-> 
their  j^ood  old  Ntj^as  and  not  offer  them  for  sale;  but  fortu- 
nately f<»r  the  American  buyers,  they  operate  upon  a  different 
basis,  an<l  in  order  to  see  their  money  back  they  are  still  willinj^ 
to  close  them  out  at  the  current  market  rates. 

'J'his  is  a  j^jreat  advanta^'e  to  the  .\orthern  i)eople  and  che\ 
oUf,dit  not  to  let  this  oportunity  slij).  as  !)y  waiting  too  u>u[\  they 
mij^dit  miss  their  chances  to  still  come  in  on  the  j^round  Hoor. 
ICven  if  manufacturers  in  the  United  States  are  not  buyinj,'  very 
freely  just  now  and  have  adopted  a  policy  of  buyinj^  mostly 
from  "hand  to  mouth",  the  shrewd,  wide-awake  dealer  is 
usually  layinj^'  in  stoeks  when  prices  are  moderate  and  l.e  can 
|)ick  at  his  li*isure  without  being  followed  by  a  crowd  of  com- 
l>etitors. 

There  is  no  lonj.(er  any  heavy  shrinka}.,^'  in  weij^ht,  and 
the  tobacco  is  now  thorou}.,dily  cured,  and  he  can  afford  to  wait 
for  the  cominj^^  <lemand.  for  the  same  is  bound  to  come  this 
summer.  The  ban)meter  of  trade  (the  iron  and  steel  industry) 
marks  good  business  for  the  next  eight  months  to  come,  particu- 
larly if  the  cereal  crop  in  the  United  .States  should  turn  out  well 
again. 

Speaking  about  our  stocks  they  refer,  however,  to  **\'uel- 
tas"  and  "Kemedios",  as  *'I*arti(los".  Wrappers  have  all  been 
sold,  and  we  will  not  have  any  more  until  the  1910  crop  comes 
in.  As  fas  as  the  new  crop  is  concerned  reports  show  no  im- 
provement over  the  previous  ones,  although  there  is  no  doubt 
that  we  have  to  be  pre|)are<l  to  sec  a  smaller  volume.  1  low  the 
tobacco  may  finally  turn  out  after  it  has  been  i)iled  and  gone 
through  the  sweat,  it  is  impossible  to  tell  with  any  accuracy  at 
this  time.  'I'he  dry*  weather  continues,  and  the  tobacco  is  still 
hanging  upon  the  i)oles  and  cannot  be  touched  ujitil  the  rainy 
season  commences  in  earnest.  Some  gcxxl  judges  have  stated, 
that  in  their  opinion,  there  may  be  only  a  few  *'.Seco"  styles,  as^ 
in  the  majority  the  tyi)es  will  be  of  the  "Fino"  (|uality.  What 
this  means,  the  clear  1  lavana  cigar  manufacturers  know  best. 

Sales  during  the  past  fortnight  only  totaled  2,361  bales, 
which  according  to  divisions  comprise,  "X'uelta  Aba  jo"  and 
"Semi-\'uelta"  1,413,  and  "Remedios"  948  bales. 

lUiyers  were:  Americans.  1,627;  e\|)ortcrs  for  Europe, 
361.  and  our  local  cigar  and  cigarette  makers,  373  bales. 

Exports  of  leaf  tobacco  from  the  port  of  Havana  from 
March  21st  to  April  2nd,  inclusive,  were:

Slump  in  Orders  Noted. 

Havana  cigar  manufacturers,  with  very  few  exceptions, 
continue  to  suffer  from  lack  of  orders.  This  is  the  off  season 
of  the  year,  and  under  ordinary  normal  circumstances  there  is 
never  enough  work  for  all  of  our  cigarmakcrs.  The  expert 
good  workers  are  always  retained,  wdiile  the  less  skilfull  ones 
have  to  shift  for  themselves  as  best  they  can. 

Our  Congress,  which  is  in  session  since  the  4th  of  April, 
seems  at  last  to  be  awake  to  the  necessity  of  helping  our  cigar 
industry,  by  urging  the  making  of  special  treaties  in  its  favor. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  United  States  may  also  grant  a  reduction  of 
the  duties  on  cigars.  As  the  majority  of  the  Americans,  as  well 
as  the  Cubans,  do  not  wish  for  any  annexation  yet,  a  more 
liberal  treaty  than  the  present  reciprocity  one  is  thought  to  be 
in  order. 

The  following  figures,  taken  from  official  Custom  House 
returns,  show  the  exports  of  cigars  from  the  port  of  Havana 
from  January  1st  to  March  15th,  1910,  and  1909,  in  comparison, 
viz. : 

F>om  Jan.  ist  to  March  15th,  1909,  36,476,741  Cigars 

From  Jan.  ist  to  March  15th,  1910,  28,186,057 


Decrease  in    1910,  8,290,684       " 

"H.  Upmann  &  Co."  are  busy,  as  they  fortunately  have  a 
large  stock  of  leaf,  and  never  seem  to  lack  orders  from  one 
country  or  the  other,  besides  shipping  millions  of  cigars  yearly 
from  the  other  independent  factories  through  their  commission 
branch. 

"Sol"  manages  to  keep  its  present  force  of  cigamiakers 
busy.  Behrens  &  Co.  have  also  an  excellent  stock  of  leaf  to- 
bacco, they  are  making  good  cigars  that  please  the  smokers,  and 
Max  Schatz,  their  United  States  representati\e,  is  a  hustler. 

"La  Diligencia"  is  holding  its  own,  and  while  Don  Ber- 
nardo Moreda,  the  owner,  is  at  present  taking  the  baths  at  San

. 


Diego  de  los  Banos,  he  has  good  assistants  during  his  absence 
of  three  weeks  only,  so  the  factory  is  marching  along  in  its  even 
tenor. 

"For  Larranga"  is  also  one  of  the  factories  that  has  no 
reason  to  complain,  as  orders  are  coming  in  regularly  in  good 
quantities  and  high  priced  sizes  are  called  for  to  a  large  extent. 

"Henry  Clay,  and  Bock  &  Co."  report  a  very  fair  business, 
although  they,  like  the  independents,  are  not  shipping  as  many 
cigars  as  in  the  past. 

"El  Credito"  factory  is  turning  out  a  very  tine  article,  and 
while  its  reputation  is  yet  to  be  established,  still,  as  the  owners 
are  making  good  cigars,  it  will  not  be  long  before  they  are 
hustling  other  leaders  in  the  cigar  industry  for  fifth  or  si.xth 
place.  They  have  already  made  a  good  campaign  and  have 
gained  foothold  especially  in  such  places  as  Philadelphia,  lialti- 
more  and  New  York. 

Negotiations  with  the  heirs  of  Antonio  Caruncho,  of  the 
famous  "La  Intimidad"  factory,  carried  on  by  Don  Pepin  Rod- 
riguez, have  resulted  in  nothing  so  far.  The  rental  of  $19,000 
per  year  and  an  option  at  the  price  of  $250,000  offered  at  the 
end  of  the  contract  period  were  rejected.  It  is  said,  that  Don 
Fernando  Fueya  is  now  trying  to  rent  the  factory  on  his  own 
account. 

Other  busy  factories  are  "Romeo  v  fulicta",  "Redencio", 
"Flor  de  P.  A.  Estanillo",  "\Muda  de  fose  Gener",  "Parta- 
gas",  "Carlos  E.  Beck  &  Co.",  and  "Charies  Blasco",  of 
O'Reilly  6. 

Buying  and  Selling,  and  Otiikr  Notes  of  Interest. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzales  were  the  biggest  sellers  again,  as 
they  disposed  of  746  bales  of  "Vuelta  Abajo"  and  "Remedios" 
to  their  various  customers. 

F.  E.  Fonseca  during  his  stay  in  town  secured  close  on  to 
600  bales  of  the  choicest  Vegas  from  the  Vuelta  .Abajo  both 
for  his  local  factory  as  well  as  for  his  New  York  one. 

Cardenas  &  Co.  sold  424  bales  of  "Vuelta  .\bajo"  and 
"Remedios";  their  reconstructed  buihling  presents  a  fine,  solid 
front,  their  office  is  sumptuous  looking,  all  in  mahogany,  atid 
their  warehouse  capacity  is  increased  through  between  decks, 
.so  that  they  can  now  take  care  of  some  5.000  bales  on  a  pinch. 
Don  Fernando  and  Don  Nicolas  Cardenas  are  well  liked  by  the 
farmers  and  their  American  customers,  so  that  they  ought  to 
have  a  bright  future  before  them. 

Celestino  Corral  was  a  liberal  buyer  of  choice  factory 
Vegas  for  Corral,  Wodi.ska  &  Co..  of  Tampa,  just  previous  to 
his  leaving  for  Tampa  on  his  vacation. 

Perez  &  Obeso  closed  out  some  200  bales  of  "Vuelta 
Abajo".  Manuel  Suarez,  or  "El  Grillo",  as  he  is  called  by  his 
friends,  was  a  buyer  of  several  hundred  bales  for  "his  cu.stomers. 

Other  sellers  were:  Puento,  Granda  &  Co.,  A.  M.  Calzada 
&  Co.,  Fernando  Fernandez  y  Hno,  Miguel  V.  Perez,  Jose  F. 
Rocha,  Rz.  Bautista  Co.  and  H.  H.  Strater. 

Several  of  our  commission  merchants  who  bought  on  or- 
ders for  their  customers  were:  Leslie  Pantin,  Charies  Blasco 
and  Mark  A.  Pollack. 

George  Wyatt,  attorney  for  Sylvester  &  Stern,  returned 
from  his  vacation  in  Canada  in  the  best  of  health  and  spirits. 

The  principal  shippers  during  the  past  fortnight  were: 
Sylvester  &  Stern,  Leslie  Pantin,  I.  Bernheim  &  Sons,  H.  Up-

Continued  Demand  for  Tobacco  Extract. 

Con.sular  reports  oMitirm  tlu-  rapi«l  expansion  abma*!  of 
the  use  of  tobacco  extract  in  i)articular  ctiterpriM's  :  al>o  that 
the  Kentucky  weed  yields  an  extract  of  superior  <|uality. 
We  treate«l  of  tobacco  extract  in  a  few  issues  since,  but  it 
is  interesting  to  observe  how  wide  the  cnu^umpti«>n  t»f  the  ex- 
tract promises  to  extend.  It  really  means  another  imixtrtant 
outlet  for  certain  grades  <^\  the  weed.  The  use  of  the  extract 
relates,  as  stated,  to  the  de^tructiou  of  uioth->  and  vegetable 
pests  of  pretty  near  all  descrijitious.  eaterpillars  included.  (  )ur 
Consul's  report  i^  responsible  for  the  f«>llitwing: 

WTII'kE  THE  EXIU ACr  IS  OP.T AIXhT). 
Tobacco  extract  is  obtained  b\  the  treatment  of  >tn»ng 
varieties  of  leaf  tobacco,  sucli  a>  are  harveste<l  in  KeiUuckv 
and  X'irginia.  with  hot  water  and  <lye.  Kentucky  tohacco  is 
said  to  contain  a  higher  percetUage  of  uicotine  than  anv  other, 
fre(|uently  as  much  as  12  and  13  per  cent,  ajul  such  \arieties 
are.  therefore,  regarded  here  as  untit  for  direct  cousumptiou. 
and  fit  for  the  manufactnre  of  cigars  otdy  when  mixed  with 
a  proper  proportiou  <»f  very  light  tol>acct>.  Thus  tlu-  Austrian 
tobacco  monopoly  manufactures  what  are  called  X'irginia 
cigars,  in  which  tlu*  proportiou  of  nicotine  is  reducecl  to  8 
|)er  cent,  by  the  withdrawal  from  the  natural  leaf  of  froui 
J  to  4  per  cent.  All  grades  of  tobacco  with  a  high  content 
of  nicotine  are  valuable  for  the  m.unifacturers  of  the  ex- 
tract, which  is  obtaiiu'«l  by  ctioking  the  leaves  in  hot  water  an<l 
in  c<  nihination  with  lye.  The  extract  is  produced  with  dif- 
ficulty, as  pure  nicotine  volatilizes  easily  and  must  be  ac- 
cunndated  in  a  vacuum. 


Moss  Brands  Keeping  Factory  Busy. 

\otwithst;iiuling  the  reports  of  the  <lull  condition  of  the 
cigar  trade,  the  .S.  R.  Moss  Cigar  Co..  of  Lancaster.  Pa.,  has 
been  kept  exceedingly  busy  on  the  "[''lor  de  Moss",  Havana 
goods,  and  on  all  their  high-grade  nickel  g«M)ds;  in  fact,  their 
factory  has  been  working  to  the  fullest  capacity,  and  it  has  been 
necessarv  for  s<»me  time  to  do  night  work.  This  firm  has  l)een 
prei'aring  to  put  on  the  market  a  clear  Havana  filled  cigar  for 
five  cents,  called  "l-'d  Mosico",  which  will  be  the  best  ever 
offered,  and  already  several  large  orders  of  I(K).ooo  lots  for 
this  cigar  have  been  received,  even  before  the  label  was  com- 
l)leted.  hAerything  is  now  ready  for  lauiudiing  this  cigar,  and 
the  orders  on  file  will  be  si)eedily  rushed  to  completion. 


Mr.  Ryan  for  the  United  Stales  Senate. 

The  suggestiou  <»f  .Mr.  Thomas  Fortinu'  Ryan's  nanu'  to 
succeed  Senator  Daniels  as  Unitecl  States  Senator  from  Vir- 
ginia, should  nu'et  with  widespread  approval  throughout  busi- 
ness and  financial  circles  in  the  Lnited  States. 

Mr.  Rvan  is  a  man  of  such  commanding  intellect  and  of 
such  eminent  success  as  a  financier  and  captain  of  industry, 
that  his  presence  in  the  United  States  Senate  could  not  but 
re<iult  in  legislation  which  would  be  helpful  to  the  country, 
imparting  stability  to  business  and  soundness  in  fiscal  legis- 
lation. 


Richmond  Plans  a  Tobacco  Exhibit. 

.\  tobacco  exposition  is  being  talked  about  for  Rich- 
mond, \  a.,  at  which  will  be  shown  the  various  grades  of 
tobacco  indigenous  to  the  Southern  States.  Colonel  G.  E. 
Webb,  of  Winstou-Salem,  N.  C,  is  taking  the  matter  up  and 
the  project  is  well  worth  consummating.  In  fact,  an  exhibit  at 
Kichniond  of  all  Southern  tobaccos  would  prove  impressive 
an<l  highly  instructive.

Key  West  Business  Gaining. 

Contract  for  Fleitas  Factory  Awarded— Gato'to  Donate  Public  Park 

—  Ruy  Lopez  Factory  Progressing. 

Ki.v   Wist,   IHa..  April  (),   1910. 

I  IP  1  \(  I  I  wcrk  ^linws  a  <Kri<K-(l  increase  in  tlic  ci^ar  busi- 
I  ~^J  luss  in  this  rit\.  lUv  j^aiti  is  not  spjismodic  and  it 
M^SBll     iv  dm!  lariat'  hut  a  rcsunic  of  the  situation  shows  with- 


n\\\  a  <l'»nht  that  the  improvement  is  j^radnal  and  solid. 

I  In-  inditationv  are  that  i)raetieally  all  of  the  factories  will 
he  uorl<int(  with  marly  full  force  hy  the  end  of  the  month. 
.Some  have  taken  on  a  few  men  the  past  week  and  others  will 
increase  to  ;i  wreat  extent  in  the  next  two  weks. 

The  hM«»ri«la  F.ast  Coast  extension  work  is  heing;  pushed 
1..  coni|)letion.  The  building'  (tf  this  railroad  is  looked  for- 
ward t<»  h\  ever\hody.  particularly  the  manufacturers,  as  the 
(.peration  of  trains  to  Key  West  will  j:jreat  facilitate  the  ship- 
pin.L(  of  cij^ars  to  market.  The  work  of  concreting^  on  Tioca 
(hica  will  commence  in  a  short  time  and  a  construction  en- 
i^ifie  is  1>ein.<,'  fitted  out  for  shipment  to  Key  West.  These  are 
the  two  most  important  pieces  of  news  in  connection  with 
the  railroad,  as  it  hrintijs  the  scene  of  operati(Mis  to  this  end  of 
the  line  and  kills  all  ideas  and  rumors  that  the  final  terminus 
of  the  railn.ad  will  he  at  Kni«xhts  Key  instead  of  Key  West. 

There  has  been  some  talk  of  establishing^  a  box  factory 
here.  Heiirv  II.  Sheip.  of  TTenry  TT.  Sheip  Si  Co..  box  manu- 
facturers of  Philadelphia,  looked  the  situation  over  while 
here.  While  iiothini:;  definite  was  done  at  the  time,  the  mat- 
ter is  undor  consideration  and  may  possibly  develop  into  the 
establishment  of  that  kind  in  the  near  future. 

The  contract  for  the  new  S.  Si  F.  Fleitas  factory  was  let 
last  week  to  D.  P,.  \Valker.  a  local  contractor,  and  work  will 
be  commenced  in  a  few  days  on  the  construction  of  the  build- 
\u^.  The  actual  sipninp:  of  the  contract  was  jjood  news  to 
Kev  West,  as  it  assures  the  permanent  location  of  that  firm 
in  the  citv.  The  Fleita<;  TTomerica  brands  have  done  much 
to  establish  and  maintain  the  excellent  reputation  of  Key 
West  made  cip:ars.  "Nfr.  T'rancisco  Fleitas  left  Sunday  for 
Havana  to  purchase  tobacco. 

The  indications  are  that  the  citv  will  arrauije  to  pur- 
chase a  larj^c  tract  of  land  from  Mr.  E.  TT.  Gato  and  will  use 
the  tract  for  a  public  park.  A  meeting:  of  committees  from 
the  Citv  Council  and  Commercial  Club  was  held  last  week  and 
Dr.  T.  R.  Mal«^uey.  president  of  the  club,  was  appointed  a 
committee  of  one  to  j^o  to  TTavana  and  place  the  plan  before 
Mr.  r.ato.  If  the  deal  g:oes  throujjh.  ATr.  Gato  will  build  ?. 
lar^e  facti^rv.  which  will  cost  *??5V>,ooo  and  will  be  one  of  the 
largest  and  best  appointed  building^s  of  its  kind  in  the  count»-v. 

Tn  the  next  two  or  three  days  the  Gato  Company  will  in- 
crease the  force  bv  200  cip:armakers.  They  are  now  working:  a 
i^reat  manv  men.  but  the  increase  in  orders  compel  them  to 
take  on  more  men  in  order  to  keep  up. 

■Ross  C.  .Sawver,  r.f  the  office  force  of  the  F.  TT.  Gato 
Companv.  wa<;  married  on  Tuesday  to  Sallie  W.  Alvarez, 
dauirbter  of  Tudsje  T^amon  Alvarez,  of  the  Custom  TTouse. 
The  wedfUn?  was  quiet,  owing:  to  a  recent  bereavement  in  the 
.Mvarez  familv.  .After  the  wedding:  the  couple  left  for  TTa- 
vana. and  will  make  a  tour  throug:h  the  interior  of  Cuba. 

Tames  T^.  Curr>',  head  of  the  Gato  ofTice  force,  is  a  can- 
didate for  re-election  on  the  Board  of  County  Commissioners. 


Mr.  Curry  has  been  a  member  of  the  board  for  eighteen 
years,  twelve  of  which  he  has  been  chairman.  His  re-election 
to  this  important  office  is  practically  assured,  as  he  has  been 
a  most  efficient  otificer  and  has  an  enviable  record.  He  has 
presided  over  the  meetings  of  the  body  in  a  highly  intelligent 
manner. 

A.  .\ureli(^  Torres,  president  of  the  Principe  dc  Golfo 
factory,  left  last  Saturday  night  for  Savannah  and  other  jjoints 
through  the  South.  Mr.  Torres  leaves  on  business  and  will 
be  gone  about  ten   days. 

The  h^rdinand  llirsch  factory  is  gradually  increasing 
the  force.  Manager  Arnold  is  putting  out  a  very  fine  grado 
of  goods  this  year,  and  orders  are  coming  in  correspondingly. 

Work  on  the  handsome  new  Ruy  Lopez  factory  is  going 
on  apace.  The  foundations  have  been  laid  and  the  water 
tank  has  been  completed.  A  large  number  of  the  concrete 
blocks  have  been  comi)letcd  and  more  are  being  made  every 
day.  {'resident  Wardlow  is  anxious  to  get  into  the  new 
building,  and  as  evidence  of  the  necessity  of  the  move,  orders 
for  J5o.(x)o  cigars  were  received  by  this  firm  in  four  days 
last  week.  It  is  very  difficult  for  this  firm  to  handle  the 
orrlers.  working  as  they  are  at  present,  in  quarters  which  are 
not  large  enough.  They  are  delivering  the  goods,  but  it  keeps 
all  hands  hustling. 

Walter  J.  Lightbourn,  of  the  Cortez  factory,  will  leave 
for  Havana  in  a  few  days.  Mr.  Lightbourn  will  probably  be 
away  for  some  time.  Business  is  good  in  the  factory  where 
thev  make  the  cigars  for  ''Men  of  brains."  They  will  in- 
crease the  force  gradually. 

Ygnacio  Castaneda.  the  well-known  leaf  dealer  of  Ha- 
vana, stopped  in  Key  West  for  a  few  hours  last  week.  Mr. 
Castaneda  was  accompanied  by  his  family  and  was  en  route 
from  Tampa  to  TTavana. 

K.  hVrnaiKlez,  of  the  Fernandez  Havana  Cigar  Company, 
is  now  in  the  Middle  West  on  the  last  end  of  his  trip  to  the 
Pacific  Coast.  TTe  reports  good  business,  and  activity  at  the 
factory  warrants  this  statement. 

J.  W.  Gregory,  one  of  the  first  manufacturers  of  cigars 
in  Key  West,  left  for  his  home  in  New  Orleans  after  spending 
a   few  weeks  in  this  city. 

D.  G.  Reid,  re|)resenting  the  cigarette  department  of  the 
.American  Tobacco  Company,  was  in  the  city  last  week.  Mr. 
Reid  is  pushing  Old  Mill  cigarettes. 

Mrs.  Judith  Wardlow,  mother  of  President  Wardlow,  of 
the  Ruy  Lopez  Company,  left  last  week  for  her  home  in 
Columbus,  Ohio,  after  spending  several  weeks  visiting  Mr. 
W^ardlow. 

S.  R.  Baldwin,  of  the  Rosemead  Tobacco  Company, 
which  sells  Florida  Sumatra  wrappers,  made  a  flying  trip  to 
Kev  West  last  week. 

Orders  continue  to  come  in  in  increased  (piantities  at  the 
Martinez-Havana  Company.  This  firm  will  also  increase  the 
force  in  a  few  days.  They  have  taken  on  a  number  of 
makers  in  the  last  few  days,  but  have  not  enough  to  supply 
tlie  demand.  The  work  on  the  new  factory  is  progressing 
rapidlv  and  it  is  expected  that  they  will  be  able  to  occupy  it 
in  three  or  four  weeks.  The  building  will  be  a  handsome  one 
and  will  doubtless  withstand  the  elements  for  many  years.

Cincinnati  Scintillation. 

Trade  a  Little  Tardy — New  Goods  Being  Elxploited. 

Cincinnati,  April  12th. 

T  111*1  returns  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Department  of  the 
sale  of  stamps  during  the  munth  of  March  indicate 
that  there  was  a  considerable  falling  off  in  the  pro- 
duction of  goods.  The  output  of  cigars  in  this  dis- 
trict during  that  month  was  17,659,100.  During  the  corre- 
>p<)nding  period  of  last  year,  the  production  amounted  to 
!8.()8i.ooc).  a  decrease  of  over  one  million.  In  manufactured 
tobacco  the  production  for  March  of  this  year  amounted  to 
3,760.790  pounds,  while  during  March  of  1909  the  production 
was  3.<S25. 575  p«)un<ls.  It  is,  therefore,  shown  that  this  branch 
of  the  industry  also  suft'ered  a  loss  of  decrease  in  business  to 
the  extent  of  60,000  pounds  as  compared  with  the  correspond- 
ing month  of  last  year.  A  corresponding  decrease  is  also 
shown  in  the  output  of  little  cigars.  In  the  production  of 
cigarettes  there  is  very  little  done  in  this  district,  and  of  snuff' 
there  was  none  at  all  manufactured  during  March. 

All  branches  of  the  trade  have  sutlered  from  a  depression, 
and  jobbers  also  report  that  the  volume  of  their  business  has 
been  most  visibly  affected. 

It  has  been  learned  here  that  John  J.  Johnson,  formerly 
in  the  cigar  brokerage  business  in  this  city,  but  who  later  had 
removed  to  St.  Louis,  died  at  his  home  there  last  Wednesday 
week.  Mr.  Johnson  was  58  years  of  age.  He  was  born  in 
Kenton  County.  Ky.,  and  for  some  time  was  engaged  in  the 
cigar  brokerage  business  with  his  brother,  W.  A.  Johnson,  for- 
merlv  Mayor  of  Covington,  Ky. 

The  ''Moose  Bulletin"  is  the  name  of  a  house  organ  that 
is  being  issued  by  the  J.  B.  Moose  Co.,  and  is  probably  the  only 
such  iiLstance  in  this  city.  It  is,  however,  becoming  a  welctmie 
visitor  to  a  number  of  retailers  whom  it  is    intended    to    es- 

peciallv  interest. 

Stephen  Herz,  representing  P.ustillo  T.ros.  &  Diaz,  of  New 
^'ork  and  Tampa,  was  circulating  about  town  recently  and  it 
is  stated  that  he  picked  up  a  goodly  number  of  orders  among 
Cincinnati  houses,  several  of  whom  are  having  a  good  run  on 
the  ]\.  r..  &  D.  product. 

John  C.  Davis,  412  Vine  street,  has  been  featuring  Manila 
cigars  and  cheroots,  and  is  meeting  with  considerable  success 

in  his  products. 

Cigar  manufacturer,  TVter  Ibold.  has  secured  the  services 
of  (ais  Schuct.  who  was  formerly  a  salesman  with  Charles  N. 
Krolin  &  Co..  Mr.  Schuct  will  take  charge  of  the  sales  forces 
in  this  citv  and  his  large  acf|uaintance  about  town  will  no  doubt 
enable  him  to  show  a  very  satisfactory  increase  in  the  volume 
of  business  of  his  house. 

Sam  Smith,  representing  Pent  Bros.,  manufacturers  of 
the  "Tahoma"  brand  of  nickel  cigars  in  Philadelphia,  has  been 
recently  visiting  the  Cincinnati  trade  and  succeeded  in  mtro- 
ducing  the  goods  more  widely  in  the  Queen  city. 

W.  B.  McBurncy,  representing  Garcia,  Pando  &  Co.,  clear 
I  lavana  manufacturers  of  New  York  and  Tampa,  is  among  the 
latest  arrivals  in  town. 

TTenrv  IT.  Stadeke,  representing  the  ATanila  Tmport  Co., 
whose  United  States  headquarters  are  in  Chicago,  was  also  a 
recent  visitor  in  this  city. 

W.  D.  Manton,  of  the  Manton,  Govern  Co.,  of  New  York, 
stopi)ed  off  in  Cincinnati  last  week  to  further  exploit  their 
".Myranna"  brand  of  Porto  Rico  cigars. 

Dubu(|ue,  Towa.  has  a  new  cigar  factory,  of  which  Jack  J. 
Fisenman  is  the  proprietor.  He  will  employ  thirty  people  at 
once  and  expects  to  swell  his  business  rapidly.  There  are  twelve 
hundred  people  employed  at  Davenport.  Iowa,  in  cigar  making 
and  Dubuque  intends  to  have  a  bite  itself  of  this  trade.  Mr. 
Eisenman  will  make  the  Marathon  Club,  a  five  cent  cigar ;  also 
the  Lord  Kenmore,  an  all  Havana  ten  cent  cigar. 


Size  of  Packages  Prescribed. 

There  are  many  and  various  provi^ion^  in  the  .\ct  regu- 
lating the  imjxjrling  of  tobacco  into  Canada  and  these  rules 
are  vital  to  .\merican  exporters  if  they  would  avoid  trouble 
with  their  shii)menls.  We  cannot  quote  all  of  the  pamphlet, 
but  the  following  clause  a>  lt»  packages  had  best  be  cut  out 
and  pasted : 

"Manufactured  tobacc«>  can  be  imported  int«»  Canada,  as 
stated  in  above  named  act.  only  in  the  following  named  i)ack- 
ages,  viz: 

"(a)  All  caven<lish.  plug  and  twist  tobacco,  in  rectan- 
gular w(M)den  boxes,  except  as  liereafter  provide<l,  containing 
from  one  to  twenty-tive  pounds,  inclusive,  fnun  thirty-tive  to 
fortv-tive  pounds,  inclusive,  from  sixty  tt»  eighty  pound^^,  in- 
clusive, or  from   kx)  to  110  pounds,  inclusive. 

'•(/>)  All  tine-cut  chewing  tobacct),  and  all  itther  kinds 
of  tobacco  not  otiierwise  provided  for.  in  packages  containing 
one-twentieth,  one-sixteenth,  one-fifteenth,  one-fourteenth, 
one-thirteenth,  one-twelfth,  one-eleventh,  one-tenth,  one-

identical  with  a  sealed  sample  approved  by  dei)artmental  regu- 
lation in  that  behalf,  and  dep<»site(l  in  the  office  of  the  col- 
lector of  the  division  in  which  any  such  tobacco  is  imported, 
may,  at  the  oiUion  of  the  importer,  be  i»ut  in  wooden  i>ack- 
ages  containing  five  or  ten  pounds  each." 

Progress  of  Killheffer's  Eureka  Factory. 

W  ith  its  list  of  over  three  hundred  active  accounts  among 
wholesale  dealers  and  jobbers,  the  luireka  cigar  factory  of  A. 
1).  KillhelYer.  at  Millersville.  Pa.,  is  perhai)S  am..ng  the  busiest 
of  any  factory  in  that  section  of  the  county.  Mr.  Killheffer 
reports  that  collections  have  been  a  little  tardy,  but  aside 
from  that  business  is  i)rogressing  (|uite  steadily  and  the  fac- 
tory has  ha<l  no  shutdown  in  years.  It  ha^  been  fre«iuently 
remarked  by  manufacturers  that  the  Killheffer  fact.)ry  seemed 
to  have  such  a  thoroughly  uniform  business,  and  yet  it  is 
also  well  known  that  n<»  traveling  salesmen  are  employed. 
During  a  conversation  with  Mr.  Killheffer  recently  he  stated 
that  he  attributed  whatever  >uccess  he  had  attained  largely 
to  the  fact  that,  first,  he  exercises  his  very  best  judgment  in 
the  buying  of  tobacco  and,  secon<lly.  that  he  keeps  a  care- 
ful scrutinv  and  ])ersonal  supervision  over  all  factory  opera- 
tions, and  j)articularlv  the  actual  making  of  cigars,  even  g«Mng 
so  far  as  to  verv  carefully  and  critically  inspect  the  product 
of  each  cigarmaker.  and  condemning  all  work  not  fully  up 
to  the  standard  set  bv  him.  P.y  these  methods,  coupled  with 
the  further  fact  that  his  business  is  done  by  mail  direct  from 
the  factory,  he  is  in  a  position  to  offer  his  g«K)ds  at  more 
attractive  prices  for  the  highest  (piality  of  product  than  com- 
petitors who  permit  greater  expense  to  creep  int(.  their  fac- 
tory operations. 


Strike  in  Louisville  Stemmeries. 

Louisville  and  ..ther  Kentucky  papers  have  been  full  of 
late  of  strike  news  occurring  among  tobacco  stemmers  of 
Louisville  and  vicinitv.  There  has  been  a  go.Kl  deal  of  not- 
ing and  several  thousan<l  pe.)i)le  have  been  dq.nved  of  work-^ 
The  American  Tol)accr>  Company  have  dealt  summarily  with 
the  strikers  and  they  refused  to  go  on  unless  good  order  was 

restored.  , 

On   April   4th,   one  thousand   striking  stemmers   stormed 
the  Matthews  tobacco  factorv  and  force«l  an  entrance  through 
doors  and  windows,  compelling  500  stemmers  to  «iuit   work 
Other  ]>laces  visited  were  barricaded,  a  riot  call  was  sounded 
and  the  police  prevented  further  disorder.

Fair  Business  in  Reading. 

Potteiger  Placing  New  Line— Stewart  in  New  Building — Local  Notes. 

Reading,  Pa.,  April  14th. 

1 1  E  cigar  industry  of  this  vicinity  appears  to  be  hold- 
ing out  fairly  well,  considering  that  from  .so  many 
other  sections  of  the  State  an  extreme  dullness  has 
been  reported.  Cigar  box  manufacturers  are  kept 
moderately  busy,  which  is  but  a  verification  of  the  claims  of 
cigar  manufacturers  that  they  are  having  a  fair  trade. 

J.  C  I'ehr  &  Son,  wdio  are  among  the  most  extensive  leaf 
dealers  in  this  city,  are  putting  up  (juite  a  large  packing  of  1909 
rennsylvania  packing  and  much  activity  prevails  at  the  pres- 
ent time  at  their  several  warehouses.  Mr.  J.  U.  Fehr,  of  this 
firm,  has  made  several  visits  to  Connecticut,  but  he  did  not 
seem  to  be  very  strongly  impressed  with  this  year's  crops,  and 
the  firm  has,  so  far,  not  gone  into  the  packing  of  Connecticut 
tobacco. 

j.  G.  Spatz.  of  |ohn  (i.  Si)atz  &  Co.,  returned  on  Satur- 
day last,  having  practically  concluded  his  spring  campaign. 
This  factory  has  been  kept  fairly  busy  in  the  manufacture  of 
its  "Heidelberg"  Havana  and  "American  Empire"  five-cent 
brands  of  cigars,  which  are  two  of  their  leaders. 

C.  W.  I'otteiger  is  placing  ui)on  the  local  market  a  new 
brand  of  nickel  cigars  under  the  title  "Cacoosing."  He  began 
a  campaign  on  it  but  a  short  time  ago  and  already  the  goods 
have  been  successfully  placed  in  a  very  large  proportion  of 
the  retail  establishments  of  Reading  and  immediate  vicinity. 
Several  salesmen  are  employed  in  the  exploitation  of  this  brand 
and  with  each  day  there  are  many  new  accounts  opened.  It 
is  stated  that  this  brand  is  proving  one  of  the  most  successful 
that  has  recently  been  placed  in  this  city. 

The  Porto  Anna  Cigar  Co.,  which  was  organized  here  last 
fall,  is  now  waging  a  vigorous  campaign  locally  on  a  new 
nickel  proj)osition  under  the  title  of  "Sheik."  Some  very  at- 
tractive window  displays  have  been  made  and  men  dressed  in 
special  costumes  and  mounted  on  horses  have  been  parading 
the  principal  streets  carrying  advertising  banners  and  almost 
every  other  conceivable  means  of  procuring  publicity  is  being 
employed. 

Charles  Ream,  manufacturer  at  411  \\'ashington  street, 
has  sold  his  premises  and  is  now  looking  about  for  new  (|uar- 
ters.  During  the  past  few  weeks  Mr.  Ream  has  received  a 
goodly  number  of  orders  and  business  lately  has  been  encour- 
agingly good. 

If.  (i.  P>urky  has  also  gotten  out  a  new  brand  of  nickel 
cigars  under  the  name  of  "La  Reposa."  This  line  is  made  up 
in  several  sizes,  and  is  very  attractively  packed.  The  prelim- 
inary work  done  in  the  introduction  of  this  brand  has  proven 
(|uite  successful  and  Mr.  lUirky  is  very  hopeful  of  .securing  in 
the  cour.se  of  a  little  time  an  excellent  line  of  trade  on  this 

The  r'leck  Cigar  Co.  has  been  unremittingly  busy  since 
New  "S'ears.  Their  Western  and  Pennsylvania  trade  has  been 
developing  strong  demands  for  their  leading  lines  and  the  fac- 
tory is  being  operated  to  its  full  capacity. 

Inline  &  Kutz,  which  is  a  comparatively  young  firm,  have 
made  an  excellent  .showing  during  the  past  year  and  their  trade 
is  growing  steadily. 

W.  W.  Stewart  Sz  Sons  on  Thursday  last  took  possession 
of  their  new  factory  building  at  Green  and  Cedar  streets.  The 
building  had  been  thoroughly  remodelled  and  completly  reno- 
vated inside  and  out  before  they  moved  into  it.  A  very  com- 
I'ortable  office  and  commodious  shipping  department  occupy 
the  main  portion  of  the  first  fl(K)r,  while  the  upper  floors  are 
given  over  to  the  manufacturing  departments. 

During  the  past  two  weeks  the  E.  E.  Kahler  Cigar  Co.  has 
exi)erienced  an  encfmraging  increase  in  the  demands  for  its 
products  and  some  additional  cigarmakers  were  recently  em- 
ployed.

Decrease  Less  than  was  Expected. 

Revenue    Returns    Spring   Agreeable  Surprise   on    Manufacturers    in 

Lancaster  District. 

L.\N(A.sTKR.  P.\.,  .April  14th. 

X  agreeable  surprise  was  meted  out  to  the  cigar  in- 
dustry of  this  section  when  the  report  of  the  Collector 
of  Internal  Revenue  on  the  sale  of  cigar  stamps  was 
made  iniblic,  for  it  showed  that  contrary  to  all  ex- 
pectations the  decrease  in  the  outi)ut  of  cigars  in  the  Xinth  Dis- 
trict during  the  month  of  .March  was  little  over  one  million.  .\o 
one  would  have  been  suri)rised  if  it  had  shown  a  decrease  of 
five  or  even  more  millions.  The  production  during  the  month 
of  March  was  the  greatest  since  last  Xovember,  and  manu- 
facturers can  therefore  well  afford  to  take  new  courage  and 
strike  out  mt)re  vigorously  than  ever  before  for  new   business. 

The  new  factory  of  .Martin  Kinports  at  Rothsville  is  now- 
completed  and  is  indeed  a  model  structure.  The  i)remises  will 
l)e  used  as  a  branch  of  the  United  Cigars  Manufacturing  Co.. 
and  will  be  conducted  under  the  personal  supervision  of  .Martin 
Kinports,  of  Ephrata,  Pa. 

Walter  S.  Baird,  the  Lititz  cigar  manufacturer,  who  is  still 
confined  to  his  r(X)m  at  the  hospital  at  Lancaster,  is  said  to  be 
recovering  very  steadily  from  the  effects  of  the  surgical  opera- 
tion which  he  recently  underwent. 

L  Kegereis,  a  veteran  leaf  dealer  of  Richland  Station,  was 
last  week  visiting  the  leaf  market  at  Lancaster  and  made  several 
selections  of  light  wrapper  gtxjds. 

Lester  R.  Moss,  with  the  S.  R.  Moss  Cigar  Co.,  at  Lan- 
caster, is  now  on  a  trip  thruugh  the  West  and  will  go  as  far  as 
Denver.  He  has  made  the  rounds  .several  times  before,  and  we 
would  not  be  at  all  surprised  to  hear  of  an  avalanche  of  orders 
coming  to  the  Moss  factory  as  soon  as  he  gets  his  order  book 
into  proper  adjustment. 

Ben.  Derr,  the  genial  office  manager  of  the  Hoffman  Leaf 
Tobacco  Co.,  at  Marietta,  Pa.,  has  just  returned  from  a  busi- 
ness trip  to  several  western  leaf  packing  points. 

P)Usiness  has  improved  lately  with  Duff  Bros.  &  Co.,  and 
an  additional  force  of  cigarmakers  has  been  put  to  work. 

W.  Clyde  Shissler,  son  of  Simon  Shissler,  well  known 
Queen  .street  cigar  dealer,  has  joined  the  ranks  of  the  Benedicts. 
He  was  married  on  the  6th  inst.  to  Miss  Margaret  Gunzenhau- 
ser,  daughter  of  Christian  Gunzenhauser,  a  prominent  baker  of 
this  city. 

The  leaf  tobacco  firm  of  Lichty,  Warfel  &  Musser,  of 
Terre  Hill,  are  putting  up  a  considerable  (juantity  of  leaf  to- 
bacco this  year.  Recently  they  received  $50,000  pounds  of  leaf 
in  one  shipment. 

John  Rodman,  of  Brunnerville,  came  to  Lancaster  on 
Saturday  last  and  sold  his  tobacco.  In  the  evening  he  dis- 
covered that  he  had  been  robbed  of  a  portion  of  the  proceeds 
of  the  sale,  which  had  amounted  to  $130.00.  He  accused  Eva 
Jack.son,  colored,  of  the  theft,  and  a  warrant  for  her  arrest  was 
sworn  out.  The  accused  denied  any  guilt  and  no  money  was 
found  upon  her  when  she  was  arrested. 

Jacob  Mayer,  for  many  years  engaged  in  the  leaf  tobacco 
business  in  Lancaster,  but  who  returned  about  a  year  ago.  has 
removed  to  Philadelphia. 

Christian  Kindig,  of  the  A.  B.  Hess  Cigar  Co.,  of  this  city, 
and  who  was  taken  severely  ill  about  ten  days  ago,  has  now  re- 
covered sufficiently  to  again  visit  the  office  daily. 

An  interesting  meeting  of  the  Lancaster  Leaf  Tabacco 
Board  of  Trade  was  held  on  Thursday  evening  last  at  the 
Board  of  Trade  rooms  on  East  Orange  street.  Reports  from 
officers  showed  that  the  organization  was  in  a  very  healthy 
condition  and  in  a  position  to  do  some  very  effective  work.  It 
was  expected  that  at  this  meeting  delegates,  consisting  of  mem- 
bers of  the  leaf  tobacco  trade,  would  be  chosen  to  attend  the 
next  convention  of  the  National  Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco  Associa- 
tion in  Hartford,  Conn.,  May  9th  and  loth.     The  action  was.

ance to  the  trade  were  discussed  at  some  length  and  all  who 
attended  were  undoubtedly  edilied. 

.After  the  meeting  of  the  Leaf  Tobacco  Bt»ard  of  Trade  a 
meeting  of  the  Lancaster  Leaf  Tobacco  P»oard  of  Trade  In- 
spection Company  was  also  held  in  the  same  rooms.  The  In- 
spection Company,  it  was  shown,  had  had  (|uite  a  satisfactory 
year's  business  and  was  well  prepared  financially  to  extend  its 
operations  during  the  coming  season.  The  concern  is  conipo.sed 
entirely  of  members  of  the  leaf  tobacco  trade,  but  its  operations 
are  by  no  means  limited  to  a  purely  local  territory.

".\  number  of  the  farmers  have  already  prepared  their 
tobacco  beds  while  many  more  have  their  .see<l  sprouting  ready 
to  put  into  the  ground  when  the  linu-  arrives.  There  is  a  dif- 
ference of  o])inion  among  the  t<»bacco  growers  regarding  the 
time  and  methods  of  making  tobacco  be<ls.  !>«»nie  maintain 
that  the  seed  should  be  sown  as  early  as  possible,  while  others 
claim  that  the  i)lants  should  be  in  the  beds  only  six  weeks, 
and  that,  as  it  is  unwise  to  transplant  before  .May  15.  there  is 
no  need  to  hurry  about  the  beds. 

Several  growers  use  the  cheese  cloth  in  place  of  glass 
frames  over  their  beds  while  several  have  gone  to  the  ex- 
pense of  running  steam  ])ipes  to  the  tobacco  be<ls  to  warm 
the  ground  and  keep  the  |)lants  growing.  The  latter  plan  has

hope  that  the  si.  .t  machines  will  he  allowed  a^ain.  The  trouhle. 
aecnrdinj^  to  some  of  the  j«thl)er>.  is  that  there  are  too  many 
dealers  content  with  a  hare  existence.  Wherever  possible  own-

<|uite  a  number  who  serve  few  customers  here,  confminj,'  their 
work  niDstlv  to  the  smaller  towns.  (  )utside  business  has  im- 
pn.ved  rapidly  and  is  now  at  its  height  for  the  spring  season. 
The  volume  is  expected  to  continue  larj^'e  until  the  hot  summer 
weather  bej^ins.  when  outside  dealers  begin  to  cut  (k)wn  their 

orders. 

(nseph  I'.randenstein.  a  resident  of  San  TVancisco  since 
1X50.  and  one  of  the  jnoneers  of  the  local  tobacco  trade,  died  at 
his  home  (.n  Jackson  street,  March  23.  at  the  age  of  82.  lie  was 
for  many  years  senior  partner  in  the  house  of  A.  S.  Rosenbaum 
&  Co.,  one  of  the  large  local  cigar  houses  before  the  fire,  though 
he  has  not  been  connected  with  this  trade  for  the  last  few  years, 
lie  was  well  known  in  philanthropic  work  of  various  kinds.  He 
is  survived  by  .six  sons,  all  prominent  in  local  business  activi- 
ties, and  four  (laughters. 

Local  retailers  state  that  the  demand  f(jr  Manila  cigars  is 
comi)arativHy  light,  but  the  jobbers,  for  the  most  part,  are  still 
getting  a  considerable  volume  of  business  on  the  Coast,  while 
the  iuistern  market  is  developing  on  a  larger  scale  all  the  time. 
It  is  ai)j)arent,  however,  that  some  of  the  dealers  who  went  into 
the  Manila  business  on  a  large  scale  at  the  start  are  getting 
scared  out,  and  it  is  practically  certain  that  a  number  of  them 
will  abandon  the  field  in  the  near  future.  This  is  .shown  by  the 
price  cutting  that  is  going  on  in  some  (|uarters,  causing  more  or 
less  demoralization  in  the  local  market.  Some  dealers  were  un- 
able to  secure  shipments  of  established  brands  and  took  what- 
ever they  could  get.  including  a  great  deal  that  is  un.salable  in 
this  market.  The  results  have  been  discouraging,  and  they  are 
now  endeavoring  to  clean  up  the  stock  on  hand.  Several  .suits 
have  been  .started  against  a  large  Manila  manufacturing  com- 
pany for  breach  of  contract,  a  further  indication  of  dissatis- 
faction. At  least  two  of  the  larger  importers,  however,  are  in 
the  business  to  stay,  and  from  now  on  will  probably  be  the 
largest  factors  in  the  trade  at  the  San  Francisco  end— namely, 
Castle  liros.-Wolf  &  Sons  and  the  Edward  Wolf  Company. 

IMward  Wolf,  of  the  Edward  Wolf  Company,  is  again  in 
the  city.  He  says,  "We  now  have  4,000,000  Manila  cigars  in 
stcK'k,  with  1,500,000  which  have  just  arrived  on  the  "Siberia". 
Some  of  the  others  are  getting  scared  out,  but  we  are  going  to 
stay  in  the  Manila  business,  and  are  making  it  a  stronger  feature 
air  the  time.  We  are  making  heavy  shiiniients  h:ast  all  the 
time  on  orders,  and  are  handling  goods  which  can  be  relied 
upon,  r.usiness  is  keeping  up  finely  on  our  clear  Havana  lines, 
nf  which  we  are  at  present  unable  to  get  enough  to  satisfy  our 
trade.  We  are  compelled  to  cut  down  orders  on  both  Arguel- 
les,  Lopez  &  Bros,  and  Bock  goods". 


11.  Anton  Bock,  manufacturer  of  the  "Don  Antonio"  cigar, 
has  been  visiting  the  Edward  Wolf  Company  in  San  b>ancisco, 
but  is  now  on  his  way  l^ast,  stopping  ofi*  to  visit  the  trade  at 
all  important  points  through  the  West. 

M.  A.  Gunst  &  Co.  now  have  their  regular  line  of  Manila 
cigars  on  di.si)lay  at  all  their  retail  stores,  with  cards  calling  at- 
tention to  the  Manila  cagars.  The  line  is  that  of  the  Com- 
pana  (jeneral  de  Tabacos  Eilipinas.  Another  prominent  fea- 
ture in  the  display  this  week  is  an  importation  of  clay  pipes,  in- 
cluding an  imitation  calabash  pipe  wliich  is  attracting  con- 
siderable attention.  They  received  250,000  Manilas  April  i, 
and  report  a  heavy  retail  trade,  as  they  otTer  a  large  number  of 
popular  sizes.  They  expect  to  get  into  the  jobbing  business  with 
this  line  shortly,  and  will  handle  it  as  one  of  their  regular 
"staple"  lines. 

11.  L.  Judell  &  Co.  are  now  in  a  position  to  fill  orders  for 
.Manila  cigars,  of  which  they  were  decidedly  short  for  a  time, 
having  just  received  a  large  consignment  from  the  La  I  iiion 
factory.  E.  Juddel  is  now  taking  orders  for  "Elisard(j"  cigars 
in  Nevada. 

L.  A.  Sawyer,  rejjresenting  Las  Dos  Xaciones  Cigar  Com- 
l)any  and  \\  San  Martin  cS:  Co.,  is  acting  very  cautiously  in  re- 
gard to  the  city  trade,  but  is  well  satisfied  with  the  development 
of  business  in  general  this  spring.  I  le  reports  increasing  orders 
from  all  parts  of  the  interior,  with  collections  fully  up  to  nor- 
mal, and  looks  for  a  better  run  than  usual  for  the  rest  of  the 
year.

Alfred  Esberg,  of  M.  A.  Gunst  &  Co.,  is  in  the  East  with

taking  a  place  on  the  road  at  present. 

Harry  Welsh,  representing  Boltz,  Clymer  &  Co.,  is  visiting 
the  trade  in  Oregon.  He  returned  from  Southern  California 
last  week  and  says  things  look  better  in  that  district  than  for  a 
long  time.

What  Canadian  Customs  Require  from  Tobacco    Shippers. 

Exi)orters  of  tobacco  into  Canada  had  best  ac(|uaint 
themselves  with  what  Our  Lady  of  the  Snows  stipulates  in 
regard  to  tobacco  packing.  Consul  M.  J.  Hendrick,  of  Monc- 
ton,  in  a  report  recently  calls  attenticju  to  the  failure  on  the 
part  of  S(jme  American  exporters  to  regard  the  Canadian 
regulations. 

One  of  the  chief  things  to  be  complied  with  is  the  regu- 
lation as  to  the  weight  of  packages  prescribed  by  the  Inland 
Revenue  Laws  of  the  Domini(^n.  Neglect  of  these  re(|uire- 
nients  has  resulted  in  confusion,  loss  and  a  return  of  the 
goods  to  the  shipper. 

One  thing  that  American  shippers  can  do  and  should  do 
is  to  write  a  rec|uest  to  the  deputy  minister  of  Inland  Rev- 
enue, Ottawa.  Canada,  requesting  a  copy  of  the  Inland  Rev- 
enue Act,  R.  S.  43  §  I.  This  pamphlet  gives  full  infomia- 
tion  as  to  Government  recjuircmcnts  respecting  the  importa- 
tion of  tobacco  in  all  forms,  beers,  licjuors,  etc.  The  pam- 
phlet is  issued  for  the  guidance  of  collectors  of  Inland  Rev- 
enue and  Custom.s,  but  can  be  had  by  individuals  on  re(|uest.

Signs  of  Revival  in  York  Factories. 
Increased  Orders  Cause  More  Activity  Among  Manufacturers — New 

Brands  on  the  Market. 

York.  L.\..  .\i)ril  14th. 
T  is  encouraging  to  learn  that  after  a  period  of  dullness 
of  more  than  usual  length,  there  are  now  some  indica- 
tions t)f  a  revival  in  the  cigar  industry.  Scores  of 
factories  had  been  closed  down,  some  of  them  tem- 
porarily and  others  iov  an  indefinite  period,  owing  to  a  lack  of 
orders.  Within  the  past  few  days,  however,  (|uite  a  number  of 
factories  have  been  reopened  and  operations  are  now  being  re- 
sumed by  a  still  larger  number.  This  revival  does  not  appear 
to  have  yet  reached  the  leaf  tobacco  dealers,  who  are  still  com- 
plaining rather  bitterly  of  the  exceptional  (|uietness. 

Warren  lieck  &  l>ro.  have  lately  received  a  number  of 
duplicate  orders  for  the  "I'illy  Possum"  and  "Adiuiral  (iher- 
ardy",  five  and  ten  cent  brands,  respectively.  This  house  is 
doing  principally  a  mail-order  business  and  has  no  special 
traveling  representative  employed.  Like  other  manufacturers 
of  high-grade  goods,  the  recent  slump  in  the  cigar  trade  has  af- 
fected them  much  less  severely  than  it  did  the  manufacturers 
of  cheaper  grades  of  goods. 

Ouite  a  sensation  was  sprung  in  the  local  cigar  trade  sev- 
eral days  ago  when  Herman  Warner  &  Co.  came  out  with  full 
page  announcements  in  local  dailies  advertising  their  "Harry 
I'ullian"  five  cent  cigar.  Arrangements  had  been  previously 
made  with  Messrs.  C.  H.  Stahlman  cS:  Sons  and  ^'oung  tS:  lUis- 
ser  for  the  distribution  of  this  brand  in  ^'ork,  and  all  retailers 
were  promptly  supplied  by  them.  The  advertisements  were 
strikingly  attractive  and  the  brand  sprang  into  favor  in  this 
city  almost  as  if  by  magic.  Dealers  who  at  first  placed  only 
small  cpiantities  in  their  stock,  have  been  already  forced  t«j  send 
duplicate  orders  to  the  distributors.  The  brand  has  been  pro- 
nounced by  connoisseurs  as  a  most  excellent  cigar  for  a  nickel 
and  Herman  Warner  &  Co.  have  good  reason  to  feel  elated 
with  the  success  which  the  "Harry  I'ullian"  is  meeting  with  in 
this  city.  As  soon  as  the  local  trade  can  be  fully  supplied 
operations  in  the  exploitation  of  these  cigars  will  be  extended 
to  additional  territory. 

C.  H.  Stahlman  &  Sons  were  last  week  featuring  the 
"Luxcllo"  nickel  cigar  of  Luckett,  Luchs  it  Lipsccmb,  of  IMiila- 
delphia.  This  brand  also  seems  to  be  making  many  new  friends 
in  York  and  vicinity. 

The  Challenge  Cigar  Co.  has  removed  its  offices  and  fac- 
tory from  Clark  avenue  and  Duke  street  to  I^ast  Xewton 
avenue,  where  a  good  size  and  well  adapted  building  was  pro- 
cured ami  has  been  remodelled  for  their  special  purpose. 

W.  H.  b'alkner  &  Sons  early  this  month  took  possession  of 
the  former  Budding  cigar  factory  building,  which  was  until  re- 
cently occui)ied  by  the  H.  ¥.  Martin  Cigar  Co.,  the  latter  having 
moved  into  the  Flinchbaugh  Ihiilding,  which  was  formerly  oc- 
cupied by  Falkner  &  Sons.  The  Martin  factory  has  lately 
booked  a  numl>er  of  good  sized  orders,  and  at  this  writing  they 
are  bending  every  energy  to  make  i)r()mpt  shipment. 

|ohn  F.  Reichard,  leaf  tobacco  dealer,  has  moved  his  ware- 
house and  office  from  Clark  avenue  and  Heaver  street  to  East 
Xewton  avenue,  just  opposite  the  Merchants'  cigar  factory. 

H.  G.  Blasser,  of  H.  G.  Blasser  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  is  starting  this 
week  on  an  extended  Western  trip,  covering  his  usual  territory. 

R.  M.  Granat,  of  R.  M.  Granat  &  Co.,  recently  returned 
from  the  West,  and  reports  that  trade  conditions  have  lately 
been  rather  (|uiet  in  the  West  as  well  as  in  the  East. 

W.  S.  Wanner,  leaf  dealer  on  Clarke  avenue.  York,  who 
makes  a  specialty  of  Ohio  tobaccos,  informs  us  that  while 
trade  conditions  generally  have  been  f|uiet,  he  considers  himself 
rather  fortunate  in  having  secured  a  fair  volume  of  business 
during  the  past  month.

factory  several  weeks  ago.  they  were  •»bliged  to  have  made  up 
by  contract  with  other  box  manufacturers. 

The  report  of  the  sale  of  cigar  stamps,  made  public  tlu- 
early  part  of  the  month  at  the  local  revenue  office  hen-.  sIh.wn 
that  during  the  month  of  March  the  sale  of  cigar  stamps 
amounted  to  ^^83.881. 42.  which  is  an  increase  of  S  10.50(^.00  over 
those  of  the  corresiuMiding  month  of  la-^t  year.  l)uring  l-t-b- 
ruary  of  this  year  the  sale  of  stamps  amounted  to  .^7S.( xjt >.()o.  or 
nearly  S^).ooo.oo  less  than  during  the  month  of  March.  Tlu- 
members  of  the  cigar  trade  are  somewhat  puzzKd  1>n  tlu-r 
figures  in  view  of  the  fact  that  so  many  of  the  factorie-  wen- 
apparently  closed  during  a  considerable  portion  of  the  moutli  <*i 
.March,  and  during  the  first  week  of  .\pril  the  cttnditi<>n>  wore 
even  worse. 

Comparatively  few  new  licenses  were  taken  out  for  cigar 
manufacturing  during  the  month  of  .March,  indicating  that  the 
cigar  manufacturing  business  was  not  very  attractive  at  this 
time. 

The  cigar  industry  at  Dallastown  has  revived  «|uite  ina-

Germany  and   Great  Britain. 

Ti  Hl[  r>ritish-.\rabian  coaling  point.  .\den,  is  getting  busy 
I  on  cigarettes,  according  to  Consul  .Moser.  (.  igarettes 
were  first  made  there  in  i88h.  The  factories  are  con- 
trolled chiefly  by  .\rabian  Jews,  who  buy  waste 
tobacco  from  the  big  houses  and  make  it  into  cigarettes,  for 
which  the  natives  pay  at  the  rate  of  one  centjor  ten  to  fifteen 
cigarettes.  Probably  one  hundred  firms  are  making  cigarettes 
at  Aden  now.  In  ujotj  I5.ooo,(xx)  cigarettes  were  exjxirted. 
valued  at  $i09.4(/>. 

Labor  is  cheaj)  in  Aden,  rent  is  l<»w  an<l  the  freight  rate-  to 
Indian  i)orts  are  as  low  as  from  liombay  and  no  iiigher  to  Lon- 
don than  those  from  Cairo.  .\dde<l  to  these  features,  the  cli- 
mate is  of  a  dry,  preservative  character. 

There  are  really  only  six  very  important  factories  at  .\den. 
and  even  the.se  do  not  em|)loy.  all  told,  more  than  ^(n)  men. 
Turkish  tobacco  is  chiefly  used  and  (ireek  tobacco  in  the  cheap 

grades. 

.\sked  why  they  do  not  use  some  of  the  cheaper  .\merican 
tobaccos,  the  niakers  stated  that  they  had  trie«l  them  and  foun<l 
them  too  sweet  and  too  mild.  .\  coarse,  powerful  r.ulgarian 
tobacco  is  much  liked  by  certain  consumer-. 

The  .\den  product  is  shii>ped  in  paper  boxes  made  in  <  ier- 
manv,  and  contain  100  cigarettes  each.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


NEW   YORK. 

New  York  City. 

WllilJ-:  if  is  true  that  there  has  been  no  speculative  investment  in 
liaf  t<.hacco,  the  concensus  of  the  reports  from  the  leading 
houses  in  this  city  is  that  the  market  has  shown  more  activity  of  late 
in  seed  leaf  tobacco,  and  it  seems  that  nearly  all  types  were  traded 
in  to  some  extent.  Transactions  were  probably  a  little  more  active 
in  old  iViuisylvania  leaf  and  prices  even  showed  some  slight  increase, 
an  actual  advance  of  a  few  cents  a  pound  more  than  what  was  asked 
for  this  kind  of  goods  last  year.  The  market  can,  however,  still  stand 
con>idiral)le  booming  and  the  fact  that  the  output  of  cigars  throughout 
the  c<»untry  was  not  so  large  as  the  previous  year,  shows  perhaps 
the  reason  why  cf^ndilions  have  not  improved  more  rapidly  in  the  leaf 
market.  Handlers  of  Connecticut  leaf  tobacco  have  concluded  a  four- 
weeks'  period  <»f  active  trading,  and  it  is  stated  that  the  market  is  now 
jiretty  well  cleaned  up.  Havana  seed-leaf  was  pretty  well  in  packers' 
bands  and  the  remainder  of  the  broad  leaf  crops  have  been  now  also 
taken  over. 

The  Sumatra  market  has  shown  more  activity  than  any  other 
branch  of  the  leaf  trade,  and  some  6,000  bales  have  been  already 
purchased  in  Amsterdam  for  the  American  markets.  More  than  half 
of  this  amount  was  purchased  at  the  inscrij)tion  of  April  2d,  and  the 
remainder  of  the  sprmg  inscriptions  are  still  being  looked  forward  to 
in  eagerness,  for  there  still  remains  to  be  purchased  about  24,000 
bales  to  reach  average  purchases  of  recent  years  at  the  spring  inscrip- 
tions, and  as  high  as  10,000  bales  have  already  been  purchased  during 
tlie  fall  inscriptions.  Some  of  the  best  posted  men  in  the  trade  do  not 
believe  that  the  purchases  this  year  will  come  up  to  the  average. 
Trading  in  old  Sumatra  seems  to  have  been  rather  active  ever  since 
the   first   reports  of  the  new  goods  became  public. 

Conditions  in  the  Havana  market  have  been  about  normal,  with  a 
fair  volume  of  transactions  consunnnated.  Inquiries  are  reported  to 
be  rather  strong  for  certain  grades  of  leaf,  and  withdrawals  from 
bonded  warehouses  have  lately  been  running  slightly  above  the  average. 
There  is  some  anxiety  concerning  the  tobacco  that  is  now  passing 
through  the  curing  process  before  being  finally  packed,  and  sales  in 
Havana  are  reported  to  have  shown  a  slight  increase. 

Syracuse,  N.  Y. 
Farmers  in  the  vicinity  of  Baldwinsville,  Syracuse  and  other  points 
last  fall  refused  seven  and  one-half  cents  a  pound  for  their  tobacco 
crops.  It  i^  said  to  be  now  bringing  nine  cents  per  pound.  A  number 
of  crops  have  been  loaded  on  cars  at  Baldwinsville  during  the  past 
week  or  more  and  shipped  to  points  east  and  south,  the  crops  having 
been  bought  largely  at  nine  cents  with  an  exceptional  purchase  at  ten 
cents.  It  is  estimated  that  nine-tenths  of  the  1909  crop  purchased  in 
the  Onondaga  district  is  now  in  the  hands  of  packers.  Baldwinsville 
packers  have  about  Tmished  sorting  their  purchase. 

PENNSYLVANIA. 

Philadelphia. 

TR.\DE  conditions  in  the  Philadelphia  market  have  been  quiet 
during  the  last  fortnight.  Local  houses  reported  a  goodly  num- 
ber of  transactions,  but  sales  were  of  a  small  volume.  Manufacturers 
still  seem  reluctant  to  make  extensive  purchases,  notwithstanding  the 
fact  that  prices,  if  anything,  are  a  little  stiffer  for  certain  types  of 
leaf  than  they  had  been ;  consequently  they  are  laying  in  new  stock 
of  goods  in  such  ayunnits  only  as  can  be  put  to  early  use.  Business 
of  late  has  been  more  readily  obtainable  in  New  York  and  New 
England  than  in  the  Southern  States,  while  Philadelphia  and  Pennsyl- 
vania and  the  West  have  seemingly  suffered  more  severely  from  the 
slump  in  the  cigar  trade. 

In  Sumatra  tobacco  there  has  been  some  business  reported,  but 
the  selections  have  been  running  largely  in  old  goods,  and  the  prices 
have  been   well   maintained. 

A  fair  volume  of  business  in  Havana  leaf  is  reported.  Manufac- 
turers have  taken  reasonable  quantities  of  desirable  offerings,  and 
prices  have  shown  little  or  no  change. 

Lancaster,  Pa. 

Trade  conditions  are  still  in  a  lethargic  condition  at  Lancaster, 
and  sales  of  old  goods  have  been  few  and  far  betAveen.  Leaf  nien, 
however,  seem  content  to  wait  for  improved  conditions  in  the  cigar 
trade,  expecting  that  not  only  will  goods  be  more  readily  taken,  but 
that  i)etter  prices  will  be  conimanded.  Buying  of  the  new  crop  con- 
tinues, and  nearly  all  of  the  local  warehouses  are  now  actively  engaged 
in  putting  \\\)  packings  of  the  1900  gocxls.  A  considerable  portion 
of  the  new  goods  have  now  been  taken  by  packers,  and  a  number  of 
purchases  were  recently  made  at  from  seven  and  one-half  to  eight 
cents.  'The  i)resent  condition  of  the  cigar  trade  does  not  lend  much 
cncourau'cment   to   leaf   packers. 


York,  Pa. 


There  is  much  complaint  from  among  the  York  leaf  dealers,  and 
trade  conditions  there  merely  reflect  that  the  cigar  trade  has  been  in  a 
really  deplorable  state  for  several  weeks  past.  Tobacco  could  be  hardly 
sold  at  bargain  sale  prices,  but  York  leaf  men  have  not  found  it 
necessary  to  sacrifice  any  goods,  and  consequently  the  volume  of  busi- 
ness transacted  has  been  exceedingly  small. 

WISCONSIN. 

Eik;krton. 

THERE   has   been    little   change    in    the    leaf    market    in    Wisconsin 
since  our  last  report.    .Xbout  the  only  activity  that  exists  is  con- 
fined  to   packers    in    the   handling   of   the   new   crop.     Purchases 
made  have  l)een  around  the  seven  cent  mark,  and  there  is  now  being 
gathered  in  the  remnants  of  the  1909  production.     It  is  estimated  that 
at  seven  cents  packers  will  be  enabled  to  indulge  in  some  export  trade. 
Little  has  transpired  in  the  marketing  of  old  goods  that  would  fur- 
nish much  encouragement  to  the  holders,  with  the  exception  that  about 
700  cases   of   '06   tobacco    formerly   held   by   La    Crosse   packers   have 
changed  hands. 

There  appears  to  be  still  some  tobacco  hanging  in  the  sheds  await- 
ing casing  weather,  and  in  some  instances  where  packers  lacked  storage 
facilities,  arrangements  have  been  made  to  allow  the  crops  to  remain 
on  the  farm.  A  shortage  of  help  has  also  been  a  serious  handicap  to 
some  of  the  warehouses. 

Stolgiiton. 

I^cal  warehouses  are  in  full  operation,  and  the  packing  of  1909 
goods  is  proceeding  as  rapidly  as  possible.  Tobaccos  are  now  coming 
in  more  rapidly,  owing  to  good  roads.  The  yield  being  fairly  heavy, 
farmers  are  still  realizing  a  pretty  fair  price  per  acre  for  their  crops. 

VlROQUA. 

It  appears  that  there  is  still  considerable  tobacco  hanging  in  the 
sheds  in  Vernon  County,  because  growers  failed  to  take  their  crops 
down  during  the  several  days  of  recent  favorable  weather,  and  in 
consequence  some  of  the  packing  houses  are  being  much  delayed  in 
their  work.  It  is  now  stated  that  unless  larger  deliveries  soon  arrive, 
a  temporary  cessation  will  become  necessary.  There  is  also  a  consid- 
erable of  this  tobacco  being  shipped  to  outside  points  for  packing. 

OHIO. 

MlAMISBURC. 

TOBACCO  farmers  are  highly  elated  with  the  favorable  weather 
conditions  which  this  spring  has  thus  far  shown.  It  has  not  only 
been  very  helpful  in  enabling  a  more  rapid  delivery  of  the  old  goods, 
but  the  quantity  remaining  in  farmers'  hands  has  been  reduced  to  a 
minimum.  In  fact,  there  is  now  but  little  left  except  Zimnier  Spanish. 
It  is  generally  believed  that  the  production  of  Zimmcr  Spanish  will 
amount  to  125,000  cases,  and  that  is  far  in  excess  of  previous  years, 
and  nearly  one-half  of  the  crop  is  already  taken   from  first  hands. 

Lebanon. 

Tobacco  growers  in  Warren  County  arc  said  to  have  unearthed 
a  plot  to  undermine  their  interests  and  practically  destroy  their  crops, 
and  which  is  believed  to  have  been  the  work  of  parties  favoring  the 
raising  of  Burley  tobacco.  It  is  intimated  that  agents  of  a  large  manu- 
facturing corporation  who,  failing  to  induce  growers  to  plant  Burley, 
have  toured  the  country  handing  out  seeds  gratis,  claiming  that  they 
were  endeavoring  to  introduce  a  new  species,  and  that  this  species 
has  turned  out  to  be  nothing  but  Burley  in  a  disguised  form.  Growers 
have  become  more  enraged  than  ever,  and  the  fight  against  Burley  in 
this  district  will  be  waged  more  vigorously  than  ever. 

Eaton. 

Buyers  have  lately  been  in  the  field  in  this  territory  for  1909 
crops  of  tobacco,  offering  eight  cents  per  pound,  but  it  is  stated  that 
no  great  amount  was  procured,  because  the  price  offered  was  lower 
than  farmers  had  received  for  several  years  and  they  were,  therefore, 
reluctant  to  let  their  crops  go.  Among  tobacco  men,  however,  it  is 
currently  stated  that  it  is  possible  that  the  price  may  go  even  lower. 

NEW  ENGLAND. 

Hartford,  Conn. 

SOME  activity  has  recently  taken  place  in  the  tobacco  market  in 
various  parts  of  the  valley ;  more  buyers  have  appeared  in  the  field 
and  a  considerable  number  of  purchases  are  reported.  Prices  are  said 
to  be  now  fairly  staple,  but  the  scale  is  lower  than  it  was  at  the  outset. 
Earmers  who  held  their  crops  for  higher  prices  are  now  convinced 
that  they  made  a  mistake.  The  percentage  of  the  new  crops  now  out 
of  growers'  hands  includes  practically  all  of  the  Havana  seed.  Broad 
leaf  still  unsold  is  offered  around  the  twenty-two  cent  mark.

East  Hartford,  Conn. 
In  the  past  few  days  there  appears  to  have  been  a  revival  in  the 
tobacco  market  and  several  growers  are  reported  to  have  sold  their 
crops.  Edmund  Simth,  of  Hinsdale,  Smith  &  Co.,  of  Springfield, 
Mass.,  have  been  driving  in  this  section  in  company  with  Andrew  S. 
Bidwell,  their  local  representative.  It  is  also  reported  that  a  number 
of  purchases  have  been  made. 

SuFFiELD,  Conn. 

In  this  vicinity  many  farmers  have  toi)acco  seed  sprouting  ready 
to  put  into  the  ground  when  the  right  time  comes,  although  there  is 
a  great  difference  of  opinion  among  growers  regarding  the  time  and 
method  of  making  their  beds;  some  claim  the  seed  should  be  sown 
as  early  as  possible,  while  others  say  the  plants  should  be  in  the  bed 
only  six  weeks. 

In  spite  of  the  lateness  of  the  season,  tobacco  buyers  are  still  at 
work  and  sales  are  more  or  less  frequently  rcptirted,  but  at  prices 
much  below  those  at  the  beginning  of  the  season.  This  is  reported 
to  be  due  largely  to  the  fact  that  many  of  the  warehouses  have 
tobacco  enough  to  keep  them  going  as  long  as  men  can  l)e  kept 
indoors,  and  that  they  must  buy  their  gofuls  low  enough  to  enable 
them  to  pay  for  the  extra  help  which  would  be  re(|uire(l  to  push  the 
work  through  to  completion  later  on.  T'armers  are  preparing  to 
raise  about   the   same   acreage  of   tobacco  this  year. 


Cigars  Come  High  in  Russia. 

U.  S.  Consul  (ietieral  juhii  II.  Snodj^rass,  of  Moscow, 
transmits  the  following  particulars  regarding  tt)bacco  produc- 
tion, trade,  and  consumption  in  Russia: 

"The  average  cigar,  costing  10  cents  in  the  United  States, 
sells  for  50  cents  in  Russia,  and  the  more  expensive  brands 
come  higher  in  comi)arison,  the  imported  pro<lucts  ranging  in 
price  from  10  cents  to  $1.  Domestic  cigars  rini  from  i  to  15 
cents,  but  being  of  inferior  quality  they  are  unacceptable  ex- 
cept to  the  poorer  classes.  Tobacco  sells  from  12  cents  to  $5.50 
per  pound,  according  to  its  origin,  the  llabana  and  Sumatra 
brands  used  for  wrappers  in  the  manufacture  of  cigars  being 
especially  expensive.  Domestic  tobacco  is  utilized  principally 
for  fillers,  but  is  not  called  for  by  connoisseurs. 

"The  use  of  cigarettes  is  general,  each  class  indulging  in  its 
favorite  brand  with  e(|ual  satisfaction,  whether  the  tobacco  is 
incased  in  the  most  expensive  perfumed  rice  paper  or  rolled 
roughly  in  brown  paper,  a  method  employed  by  the  poor. 

"In  a  recent  speech  in  Moscow  the  Minister  of  Finance 
comi)are(l  Russia's  budget  with  the  huge  deficits  of  other  lead- 
ing countries  in  Europe,  remarking  that  the  increased  tax  on 
the  wrappers  for  cigarettes  had  guaranteed  the  Governinent 
against  any  lack  of  funds  to  meet  the  necessary  expenses.  This 
shows  the  immense  profits  obtained  from  the  use  of  tobacco 
through  State  taxation. 

"Russia's  tobacco  crop  in  1908  was  nine  per  cent,  below 
1907,  the  yield  being  200.818,584  pounds  in  comparison  with 
225.531,052  pounds  in  1907.  a  decrease  of  18,252.468  pounds. 
Froin  this  production  56,068,452  pounds  were  of  Turkish  seed, 
16,285,176  pounds  Anierican  seed,  and  the  lower  grades,  such 
as  Baku  tobacco  and  Makhorka,  etc.,  gave  124.944.956  pounds. 
The  number  of  tobacco  plantations  was  341.966,  against  377,- 
419  in  1907,  and  the  area  170,162  acres  against  164,414.  The 
average  yield  per  desiatin  C2.7  acres)  was  3,276  pounds,  in 
comparison  with  3,708  pounds." 


Go  'Way  Mr.  Frenchman. 

At  Upper  Marlborough,  Md.,  recently,  before  100  rnem- 
bers  of  the  Maryland  Tobacco  Growers'  Association,  President 
Hill  made  the  statement  that  the  French  Government  had  for 
a  long  time  a  monopoly  on  the  Maryland  crop,  a  condition  of 
things  not  perhaps  fully  known  throughout  the  industry.  This 
tnonopoly  has  been  lifted,  said  President  Hill,  and  he  expected 

better  prices. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  at  the  meeting  March 
17th:  F.  Snowden  Hill,  of  Prince  George  County,  president: 
John  H.  Drury,  of  Calvert  County,  treasurer,  and  Franklin 
Weems,  of  Anne  Arundel  County,  secretary. 


Portland,  Co.w. 
The  packing  season  has  about  closed  with  J.    Lichtenstcin  &   Co. 
at  this  place.     About   150  hands  were  kept  at  work  at  this  warehouse 
all  during  the   winter. 

Tariffvili.e,  Conn. 

In  the  vicinity  of  TarifTvilU'  some  tobacco  growers  are  busy 
sterilizing  their  seed  beds,  and  for  the  past  week  weatlier  conditions 
have  been  favorable  to  actual  field  work.  It  is  believed  by  growers 
that  the  acreage  of  Havana  seeil  will  be  alR>ut  the  same  as  last  year, 
and  a  larger  acreage  of  broad  leaf. 

The  Ketchen  &  Hayes  Tobacco  Corpor.ition  are  now  making 
active  preparations  to  grow  ten  acres  of  tobacco  under  shade  tlie 
coming  season,  and  twenty-tive  acres  in  the  open  air.  It  is  estimated 
that  there  will  be  400  acres  in  this  valley  grown  utuler  cloth  the  com- 
ing  year. 

Wkstfiki.d,  Mass. 
There  remain  very  few  crops  unsold  in  the  Little  River  District, 
and  the  average  prices  paid  this  year  were  ten  to  twelve  cents,  (irowers 
in  this  section  state  they  will  not  try  to  start  seed  be«ls  until  the 
middle  of  .\pril.  Several  farmers  in  the  vicinity  of  W'esttield  who 
were  unwilling  to  accept  the  prices  otYered  them  f«»r  their  u^j  slock 
are  now  assorting  and  sizing  it  and  will  hold  it. 


Turkish  Exports  of  Tobacco. 

Concerning  the    rurki>li  (•utput.  of  which  wc  have  said 
considerable  of  late,  the  lutal  exports   from  Smyrna   for  the 

fi.>^cal  year  of  KjoS-njoc)  is  (juite  indicative  of  the  growth  of  the

Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 
tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ?

SAVARONA 


Is  An  Unusual  Ci^ar 


BECAUSE 


The  Tobacco  comes  from  our  UNUSUALLY  good 
plantations  in  tlie  Cayey  and  Caguas  districts  of 
Porto  Rico ; 

UNUSUAL  care  is  given  to  the  growing  of  this 
tobacco ; 

UNUSUAL  attention  is  given  to  the  delicate  pro- 
cess of  curing,  sweating  and  conditioning  our  high- 
grade  leaf ; 

UNUSUAL  care  is  exercised  in  every  process  of 
the  manufacture  in  our  own  up-to-date  factories. 
We  do  not  have  to  depend  on  others  for  our  tobacco, 
and  no  one  else  gets  the  high-grade  product  of  our 
plantations. 

The  UNUSUAL  smoking  and  repeating  qualities 
of  SAVARONA  back  up  these  statements. 

These  are  SOME  of  the  reasons  why  SAVA- 
RONA has  made  such  an  UNUSUAL  hit.

To  Raise  Standard  of   Manila  Cigar  Exports. 

Tobacco  Association  Resolves  to  Cut  Down  Shipment  of  Low  Grade 

Goods — Prices  Advanced. 

Special  Cable  to  "The  Tobacco  ll'orUI." 

Manila,  April  281I1. 

TiO  overcome  tlie  prejudice  that  has  risen  in  the  Anieri- 
I  can  trade  against  the  IMiihppine  cigars  because  of 
the  recent  intlux  into  that  market  of  milHons  of  low 
grade  stock,  the  Manila  Tobacco  Association  at  a 
meeting  here  to-day  passed  a  resolution  to  confine  exiH)rts  to 
the  United  States  liereafter  to  a  larger  percentage  of  high 
grade  goods. 

This  association,  composed  of  all  the  leading  manufac- 
turers and  exporters,  agreed  that  hereafter  shipments  should 
comprise  at  least  35%  high  grade  stock,  30%  medium  and 
only  15%.  lowest  grade.  The  Manila  manufacturers  believe 
that  if  the  shipments  to  the  United  States  can  be  confined 
largely  to  the  best  grade,  that  a  more  permanent  market  will 
be  established  and  the  returns  prove  more  satisfactory  to  all 
concerned. 

The  association  has  appealed  to  the  ( iovernment  tt)  en- 
force a  compliance  with  this  resolution  ui)on  manufacturers 
who  attempt  to  exiK)rt  grades  inferior  to  the  standard  now 
fixed.  This  action,  it  is  predicted,  will  reduce  the  (|uantity  of 
exix)rts,  but  will  raise  the  (juality  and  thereby  add  substan- 
tially to  the  cigar  industry  here. 

The  revised  guarantee  stamp  is  being  prepared  by  the 
local  goverimient  and  will  shortly  be  placed  upon  all  cigars 
exported  to  the  United  States. 

During  the  last  six  months  the  exports  to  the  United 
States  have  grown  tremendously.  .As  a  result,  prices  have 
advanced  more  than  20%.  At  present  more  than  25%  o(  the 
Manila  cigar  output  is  shipped  to  the  United  States.

Manila  Cigar  Imports'  Tremendous  Increase. 

Washington,  D.  C,  April  29th. 
S  indicating  the  tremendous  stimulus  which  the  Philip- 
pine cigar  trade  has  received  through  the  enactment 
of  the  Payne-Aldrich  tariff  law,  admitting  150,- 
000,000  cigars  yearly  duty  free  to  the  I'liited  States, 
the  figures  just  issued  by  the  Bureau  of  Statistics  are  worth 
careful  study. 

The  tariff  act  became  effective  August  6th  of  last  year  and 
since  that  time  up  to  March  ist  the  value  of  cigars  imported 
from  the  Philippines  duty  free  amounted  to  $840,644.  For 
the  same  period  during  the  i)revious  year,  when  Manila  cigars 
were  assessed  full  duty,  only  $2,540  worth  of  cigars  were 
imported.

Sol  *'  Cigars  at  the  South  Pole. 


Havana,  Cuba,  April  30th. — Recognition  of  the  high 
merits  of  the  "Sol"  factory  cigars,  manufactured  by  P>ehrens 
&  Co.,  of  this  city,  has  been  made  by  the  Imperial  liritish  Navy. 
A  shipment  of  cigars  has  just  been  made  to  Captain  Scott,  of 
the  British  Navy,  and  are  meant  to  go  with  the  expedition 
which  is  being  prepared  to  find  the  South  Pole.  The  cigars 
will  be  used  by  the  officers  and  the  men  of  this  history-making 
voyage,  and  should  prove  a  solace  to  them  during  the  long 
winter  nights. 


Greater  New  York  Independent  Dealers  Organize. 

Permanent  Officers  Elected  and  Plans  for  Great  Body  Perfected. 

WE  organizing  of  an  association  of  the  retail  cigar 
dealers  of  Greater  New  York,  whicii  has  been  under 
way  since  April  nth,  was  further  advanced  on  Wed- 
nesday evening,  April  27th,  when  they  assemi)led  at 
Stuyvesant  Casino.  There  was  a  large  and  enthusiastic  at- 
tendance, and  the  session  was  continued  until  long  after  mid- 
night. 

The  temporary  committee  on  organization,  which  wa>  ap- 
pointed at  the  first  meeting  of  April  nth,  have  met  several 
times  since  then  in  an  eff<jrt  to  work  out  a  plan  of  operation. 
They  have  succeeded  in  arousing  great  enthusiasm  among  the 
local  dealers,  which  at  the  last  meeting  resulted  in  tlu-  f«)rma- 
tion  of  an  organization  which  in  all  probability  will  be  kn«>wn 
as  "The  Retail  Cigar  Merchants'  .Association  of  ( ireater  New 
\'ork." 

Permanent  officers  were  electe<l  an«l  a  number  of  original 
ideas  antl  various  methods  for  the  future  welfare  «)f  the  tra«le 
were  discussed,  among  which  was  the  matter  of  coupoius.  In 
an  article  that  appeared  in  a  recent  i^sue  of  The  Tohaiho 
World,  a  plan  was  outlined  for  a  National  C'oujxmi  Associa- 
tion, to  be  comjxjsed  of  independent  manufacturers  an<l  <lealers 
of  all  the  cities  of  the  United  States. 

Many  of  the  local  dealers  have  given  this  much  thought, 
and  it  may  be  said  indirectly  that  the  present  movement  is  the 
outcome  of  this  proposition.  y\lthough  not  all  are  in  favor  of 
the  coupon,  it  has  at  least  brought  them  together  for  mutual 
protection  and  co-operation. 

The  new  organization  will  have  the  >upport  and  co-ojKTa- 
tion  of  the  independent  manufacturers,  and  at  the  next  meet- 
ing, the  date  of  which  will  be  announced  later,  they  will  be 
invited  to  attend  and  take  an  active  part. 

The  project  has  now  advanced  to  such  a  substantial  stage, 
and  with  the  assurances  of  such  a  large  number  as  have 
promised  to  become  active  members,  the  asscKiation  has  a  very 
promising  future. 

The  niembershii)  initiation  is  one  dollar,  and  while  the 
yearly  dues  have  not  been  decide<l  ujx)!!,  they  will  be  very 
nominal. 


Frishmuth  Wins  Another  Point. 
Demurrer  is  Refused  the  American  Tobacco  Company  in  Famous  Suit. 

Tl  1 1 1'',  demurrer  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company  to 
I  the  conii)laint  filed  by  I'Vishmuth  P»ro.  &  Co.,  of 
Philadelphia,  charging  the  defendant  with  conspiracy 
in  restraint  of  trade,  and  demanding  treble  damages 
under  the  Sherman  Anti-trust  Law,  was  denied  by  Judge  La- 
combe  in  the  United  States  Court  for  the  Southern  District  of 
New  York,  April  25th. 

The  Court  ruled  that  he  was  obliged  to  overrule  the  de- 
murrer, basing  his  opinion  uiK)n  the  precedent  of  the  Circuit 
Court  of  Appeals,  when  it  passed  upon  the  suit  brought  by  the 
United  States  Government  against  the  American  Tobacco 
Company. 

It  is  underst(M)d  that  the  plaintiff  will  now  push  the  case 
with  renewed  vigor  and  will  seek  to  recover  the  full  damages 
resulting  from  the  alleged  acts  of  the  American  Tobacco  Com- 
pany in  restraining  them  from  obtaining  licorice  at  a  reasonable 
price.

ing of  the  twelfth  annual  convention  of  the  National 
Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco  Association  in  this  city  May  9th 
and  10th.  Delegates  from  the  various  local  associa- 
tions affiliated  with  the  national  body  will  be  in  attendance  from 
all  i)arts  of  the  country,  and  the  indications  are  that  the  Hart- 
ford convention  will  be  one  of  the  most  successful  from  a 
business  and  social  standpoint  held  in  many  years. 

The  convention  will  open  in  the  Putnam  Phalanx  Hall  at 
10  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  May  9th  and  continue  in  session 
until  12.30.  After  a  recess,  the  delegates  will  reconvene  at  2.00 
in  the  afternoon  and  adjourn  about  three  in  order  to  give  the 
delegates  an  opportunity  to  enjoy  a  ride  in  automobiles  in  this 
city  and  the  neighboring  country,  winding  up  at  the  Hartford 
Golf  Club,  where  they  will  be  entertained  for  the  evening. 
The  plans  of  procedure  for  the  second  day  have  not  yet  been 
entirely  completed.  It  is  planned  to  elect  officers  on  this  day 
and  pass  important  legislation.  On  that  evening,  an  elaborate 
bancjuet  will  be  served  at  the  Allyn  House  to  all  visiting  dele- 
gates and  members  of  the  local  association.  A  stage  will  be 
arranged  at  the  end  of  the  dining  room  and  a  vaudeville  enter- 
tainment will  be  provided. 

Arrangements  for  the  convention  are  in  the  hands  of  an 
Executive  Committee  appointed  by  the  Connecticut  Leaf  To- 
bacco Association.  Benjamin  L.  Haas,  of  L.  B.  Haas  &  Co., 
packers  and  dealers  in  Connecticut  leaf  tobacco,  is  president  of 
the  Connecticut  Association  and  has  appointed  the  following 
committees : 


THE  TOBACCO  WORLD

Treasurer. 

Entertainment— Fred  B.  Griffin,  chairman;  G.  H.  Gabb,

Israel  and  W.  P.  Haas.

A.  N.  Shepard,  Charles  Soby  and  W.  R.  Israel. 

Printing  and  Press— Joseph  C.  Mitchel.son,  chairman;  L.

Finance— Fred  B.  Griffin,  chairman;  S.  Hartman,  George 
Mitchelson,  W.  R.  Israel  and  W.  P.  Haas. 

In  regard  to  the  new  officers  to  be  elected  there  is  consid- 
erable speculation.  It  is  learned  from  New  York  that  Presi- 
dent J.  T.  Cullman,  Jr.,  has  announced  that  he  would  not 
accept  re-election.  It  is  also  stated  that  Secretary  Charles  Fox 
does  not  desire  another  term.  Among  the  names  suggested  as 
successors  are  A.  W^  Gieske,  of  Gieske  &  Neiman,  Baltimore, 
and  president  of  the  Baltimore  Cigar  Leaf  Association,  who  is 
spoken  of  for  president,  and  W.  J.  Sneeringer,  also  of  Balti- 
more, and  secretary  of  the  local  association,  is  mentioned  as  a 
possible  candidate  for  secretary. 

Many  friends  of  Benjamin  L.  Haas  are  urging  him  to 
stand  for  the  presidency,  but  so  far  Mr.  Haas  has  not  given  his 
consent  to  have  his  name  placed  for  nomination. 


Governor  Colton  Favors  Porto  Rican  Stamps. 

Will  Veto    Present    Measure   But  Advocate*    the    Passage  of    Less 

Drawtic  Law. 

0\'ERNOR  COLTON,  of  Porto  Rico,  accompanied 
by  Harrison  Johnson,  vice-president  of  tiio  Cayey- 
Caguas  Tobacco  Co..  arrived  in  New  York  last  week 
for  a  short  visit  to  the  Tnitcd  States. 
Governor  Colton  was  also  accomi)anicd  by  a  party  of 
Porto  Rico's  most  prominent  public  and  business  men.  who 
formed  a  delegation  to  visit  Washington  to  confer  with  the 
Congressional  Committee  regarding  the  Olmstead  bill.  This 
measure,  among  other  features,  proiK)ses  to  grant  limited  citi- 
zenship to  the  Porto  Ricans,  and  if  passed,  it  will  mark  an 
important  eiK)ch  in  the  advancement  and  development  of  that 
new  colony. 

It  is  learned  that  Governor  Colton.  although  favoring  the 
idea  of  having  gurantee  stamps  for  the  various  grades  of  Porto 
Rican  cigars,  coincides  with  the  cigar  manufacturing  interests 
that  the  measure,  recently  passed  by  the  Porto  Rican  Execu- 
tive Council  or  Assembly,  is  a  little  in  advance  of  the  times  and 
too  drastic.  He  has  been  appealed  tf)  by  enormous  manufac- 
turing interests  to  veto  the  present  measure  and  will,  no  doubt, 
accede  to  their  desires.  However,  the  guarantee  matter  will 
not  stop  there,  as  another  measure  will  be  prepared  covering 
the  subject  in  a  manner  satisfactory  to  all  interested,  and  giv- 
ing the  manufacturers  ample  notice  as  to  its  provisions. 

Mr.  Johnson  is  heartily  in  favor  of  the  Porto  Rican  guar- 
antee stamps  and  agrees  with  Governor  Colton  that  the  mat- 
ter should  not  be  ignored. 


The  Jobbing  Trade  in  Richmond. 

Good  accounts  in  the  main  have  reached  us  from  Rich- 
mond during  the  past  month  concerning  the  wholesale  tobacco, 
cigar  and  cigarette  trade.  Richmond-made  goods  of  all  kinds, 
it  is  claimed,  have  gone  during  the  past  month  to  every  State 
in  the  Union  and  to  nearly  every  civilized  country  on  the  globe. 
The  export  business  on  these  lines  was  unusually  active,  ac- 
cording to  the  Richmond  papers.

Bradley  to  Sell  Roig  Cigars. 
Joseph  H.  Bradley,  who  has  been  in  business  for  himself 
at  Atlantic  City,  has  just  been  engaged  by  the  firm  of  .Antonio 
Roig  &  Langsdorf  in  Philadelphia  to  represent  their  lines  in 
Atlantic  City  and  South  Jersey.  Backed  by  his  progressive 
firm,  Mr.  Bradley  expects  to  make  a  vigorous  campaign  by  in- 
troducing Roig  cigars  at  all  the  seashore  resorts.  He  has  a

Will  English  Tobacco  Duly  be  Reduced? 

As  a  straw  showing  which  way  tlie  wind  is  blowing,  one 
of  the  largest  tobacco  houses  in  London  has  just  sent  out  cir- 
culars to  the  trade  announcing  a  reduction  in  prices  in  antici- 
pation of  an  early  reduction  on  tobacco  duty.  When  inter- 
viewed, a  director  of  the  company  declined  to  divulge  upon 
what  facts  the  action  of  the  firm  was  based. 


Among  the  visitors  in  the  trade,  in  Philadelphia,  this  week, 
was  B.  M.  Kratz,  of  George  S.  Miller  &  Co.,  Pottstown,  I\i. 
Mr.  Kratz  stated  that  he  was  just  completing  preparations  for 
a  two  weeks'  trip  to  the  coal  region  of  Pennsylvania,  where  the 
firm  already  has  considerable  business,  but  which  Mr.  Kratz 
feels  confident  can  be  materially  increased.

TWO  CIGAR  MEN  UP  IN  THE  AIR 

WIho  salesmen  nfver  go  up  in  the  air,  but  tlicif  are  times  wlien  It  is  a  plea.sant  and  excusable

C.  A.  Barnes,  representative  of  the  Klauber-Wangeniieim  Co..  of  IjOs  Angeles,  Cal.,  sailing  among 
the  clouds  at  Ocean  Park.  Cal.  They  had  just  completed  a  splendid  campaign  on  the  "Chancellor" 
cigar,  during  which  they  placed  this  brand  with  one  thousand  dealers  in  Southern  California  for 
the  Klauber-Wangenheim  Co..  and  were  naturally  in  high  spirits.  They  prudently  waited  to  go  up 
in  the  air  until  they  had  clo.«?ed  all  their  business  deals,  tlien  went  sailing  away  looking  for  new 
worlds  to  conquer.  Such  good  work  certainly  entitled  them  to  a  ride  In  the  best  wagon  on  the 
earth,  or  for  that  matter,  In  the  air !

Buenos  Ayres  Elxposition. 

A  similar  case  is  also  being  now  exhibited  at  Brussels. 


New  York  Office  for  Castaneda  Factory. 

A  New  York  office  has  been  opened  at  No.  3  l*ark  Row, 
New  York,  by  Dave  Echemendia,  who  is  the  general  repre- 
sentative in  the  United  States  for  the  widely  known  Castaneda 
factories  of  Havana,  Cuba. 

Recently  Mr.  Echemendia  entertained  Mr.  C.  P.  Claxton, 
of  r.ondon,  England,  who  represents  the  principal  stockholders 
of  the  Castaneda  factories  in  Great  Britain.  This  line  is 
already  well  known  in  the  States,  and  under  the  able  direction 
of  Mr.  Echemendia,  their  further  exploitation  will  no  doubt 
progress  rapidly  and  the  account  will  doubtless  prove  a  valu- 
able acquisition. 

The  Tobacco  World  will  be  pleased  in  its  next  issue  to 
publish  a  likeness  of  this  well-known  cigar  man,  who  has  had 
a  valuable  experience  with  Cuban  cigar  factories.

Death  of  Francis  Shields 

This  well-known  tobacco  manufacturer  died  at  his  home 
in  Albany,  N.  Y.,  April  17th,  aged  eighty-eight  years.  He  was 
the  head  of  Francis  Shield  &'  Son,  a  tobacco  house  founded 
sixty  years  ago  by  Adam  Shields,  father  of  the  deceased. 

The  Albany  papers  speak  in  the  highest  terms  of  Mr. 
Shields'  career  and  of  his  character  as  a  citizen  and  business 
man.  He  was  regarded,  indeed,  as  a  public  benefactor  and 
one  of  his  foremost  thoughts  was  to  relieve  the  sufTering  and 
to  aid  and  encourage  those  about  him. 

The  venerable  manufacturer  is  survived  by  his  wi<low  and 
two  children,  Francis  .\.  Shields,  his  partner,  and  a  daughter, 
Mrs.  Thomas  F.  Woods,  both  of  .Mbany. 


James  Ertheilcr,  one  of  the  lK*st  known  leaf  tnbacco 
dealers  of  New  York  City  and  a  member  of  the  firm  of  M. 
Ertheiler  &  Son.  died  recently  at  his  home  in  N'ew  York,  after 
an  illness  of  only  a  few  months,  Mr.  Ertheiler  was  a  son  of 
the  late  Moritz  Ertheiler,  who  was  a  distinguished  character  in 
the  trade  until  his  death  in  18(^5.  Mr.  h>theiler  was  a  brother 
of  the  late  Philip  Ertheiier.  who  was  fr>rmerly  in  the  cigar 
business  in  Philadelphia.  He  was  5^  years  of  age  and  is  sur- 
vived by  a  widow  and  a  daughter. 

Henr\'  H.  Miller,  a  leaf  tobacco  jobber  at  Lancaster,  l*a.. 
died  last  week  at  his  home  in  that  city  at  the  age  of  (\}^  years. 
His  death  was  due  to  I'right's  disease  and  from  which  ailment 
he  had  suffered  a  number  of  years.  He  had  for  a  long  time 
been  identified  with  the  Lancaster  tobacco  tra<le  and  was  for- 
merly in  partnershij)  with  J.  W.  DuttenlinfYer,  also  a  leaf  to- 
bacco dealer  at  Lancaster,  but  which  partnership  was  dis- 
solved nearly  ten  years  ago.  During  the  past  two  years,  and 
owing  to  Mr.  Miller's  severe  illness,  the  business  was  prac- 
tically conducted  by  his  son,  Haldy  Miller,  and  who  it  is  ex- 
pected will  continue.

Heart  to  Heart  Talk  With  Clerks. 

I   klXC  iiu   twenty  yvnr>'  cxjR'rinicc  and  sonu'  pn.ir.- 
mcnt  o.iinirtic.iis  in  the  trade,  it  was  my  priviK-e  to 
o.inc-    into   pretty    elnse    personal    contact    witli    cigar 
store  clerks,  and   tlie    t'.. Mowing  dissertati..n   is  given 
as  a  result  of  my  renn'niscences  : 

'I'lie  one  thing  which  I   found  a  Httle  more  interesting  tlian 
some  other  tilings   was  a   study  ..f  the  habits  ..f  tlie  average 
cigar  stMie  clerk.     1  have  observed  that  some  men  are  o.nfining 
their  business   habits  and    I    was   able  to  discern   a   dilTerence 
between  their  business  habits  and  their  purelv  pers<mal  habits 
—to  Imsiness  hours.     An  effort  to  ac(|uire  ideal  business  habits 
IN  most  commendable  and  the  clerk  who  has  an  oi)portunity  of 
nnproving  in  that  direction  may  well  congratulate  himself.     The 
well  regulate<l  store  is  necessarily  conducted  along  the  lines  of 
a   |)ractical   basis,  and.   therefore,   it   «.fteii   become   virtually   a 
busiiiess  cllege  to  the  clerks  employed  therein,   for  thev   will 
ac()uire  business  habits  and  will  also  be  watched  in  their  efforts 
to  carry  them  out.     The  only  real  difference  is  that  in  college 
we  get  the  theory,  in  business   we  get  the  necessarv  practice 
of  the  real  thing.    As  the  professor  in  the  college  corrects  one's 
faults,  so  will  the  proj)rietor  of  the  correct  store  correct  one's 
business  methods.     Hut  there  is  another  advantage  if  the  clerk 
is  sufficiently  comj)rehensive  and   will   carry  the  good   habits 
thus  formed  outside  of  the  customary  business  hours.     If  he 
chooses  to  apply  it,  he  will  find  that  his  business  training  can 
be  carried  cfTectually  to  his  home  life  and  his  social  life— in 
short,  it  can  be  made  a  character  builder.     There  is  no  telling 
but   what   some  day  he  may  gain   prominence  in   a  social   or 
business  way  in  other  connections,  and  that  is  where  his  earlier 
training  will  tell  and  where  he  will  have  to  put  it  to  use.

The  Repulsive,  Dingy  Store. 

up:  following  narrative,  which  apj)eared  in  I  [ouse 
Organ  of  a  well  known  Xew  York  mercantile  estab- 
lishment, and  which  is  published  periodically  but  reg- 
ularly, is  .so  striking  that  we  believe  the  average  retail 

dealer  will  read  it  with  nuich  enjoyment  and  benefit.     It  was 

as  follows: 

"My  friend  and  I  turned  off  the  avenue  and  walked  down 
a  side  street.  About  halfway  down  the  block  my  friend  stopped 
and  began  to  fumble  in  his  pocket. 

*'  'Well.'  he  said.  'I've  got  to  go  back  to  the  avenue  again. 
T  thought  I  had  some  cigars,  but  I'm  all  out— and  1  want  a 
smoke.' 

"'Why  don't  you  go  in  there.'  I  .said,  pointing  to  a  little 
cigar  store  opposite  us  on  the  other  side  of  the  street. 

"  'Go  in  there!'  said  he.  *Do  you  suppose  I'd  buy  a  cigar 
in  that  place?' 

"  'Well,  it  does  look  a  little  dingy,'  .said  T. 

"'Dingy!'  he  exclaimed.  'Why,  I  wouldn't  buy  a  pair  of 
socks  in  that  place  let  alone  a  cigar — something  1  have  to  jnit 
in  my  mouth.' 

"I  wonder  how  many  times  a  conversation  like  this  hap- 
pens? Why  is  it  that  cigar  store  proprietors  will  let  dust 
settle  and  cobwebs  grow  in  a  show  window?  Why  do  they 
allow  dirt  to  collect  .so  thickly  on  the  window  panes  that  you 
can  hardly  see  through  them,  and  fill  their  windows  with  ugly 
circus  posters  and  handbills  that  have  nothing  to  do  with 
cigars  ? 

"Of  all  the  retail  shops  in  existence,  a  cigar  store  should  be 


the  neatest,  cleanest,  and  most  attractive.  The  sh..w  windows 
should  be  especially  inviting,  as  they  are  really  the  drawing 
cards  of  business.  Nou  wouldn't  pay  much  attention  to  a  real 
brilliant  business  man  should  he  approach  you  dressed  in  rags 
with  his  face  unclean,  covered  with  a  six  or  seven  days'  growth 
of  beard,  with  hair  unciMubed  and  his  feet  sticking  through  his 
shoes.  And  yet.  twenty-five  per  cent,  of  the  small  cigar  .stores 
you  see  on  the  avenues  and  side  streets  are  dressed  in  as  un- 
promising a  fashion.  Xo  matter  how  good  the  cigars  they  sell 
or  how  careful  they  are  in  buying  tobacco,  proprietors  of  .such 
shops  will  never 'get  anywhere. 

"Therefore,  we  urge  the  cigar  dealer  to  pay  more  atten- 
tion to  the  appearance  of  his  place.  (Jet  a  fresh  sign  over  the 
door;  |)aint  up  the  old  Indian;  clean  the  windows  until  they 
shine  like  a  negro's  heel;  tear  out  the  handbills  and  posters  and 
build  up  a  tastily  arranged  and  inviting  pyramid  of  cigar  boxes 
and  tobacco.  Don't  allow  any  dust  or  cobwebs  to  (Irai)e  them- 
selves over  the  disi)lay.  Make  things  look  neat  and  you  will  do 
more  business.  A  g(K)(l  front  is  as  necessary  to  a  cigar  store 
as  it  is  to  an  individual." 


Two-Minute  Chat  With   Retailers. 


AIT]  ^'  '^vould  be  highly  gratifying  to  me  if  I  could  impress 
?i*       '"'»i"^'  forcibly  upon  the  retailer  the  value  of  self-re- 
^SBK      ^V^'^'^'      l'»t  it  seems  to  me  that  only  too  many  are 
forgetful  when  they  indulge  in  gossip  and  talk  about 
their  competitors.    There  is  an  old  axiom  which  cays:   "A  wise 
man  talks  about  the  virtues  of  that  which  he  has  to  sell;  a  vain 
man  talks  about  himself,  and  a   fool  talks  about  his  compet- 
itors." 

No  one  has  really  ever  benefited  a  farthing  by  indulging 
in  any  adverse  criticism  of  the  competitor.  There  is  some- 
thing good  alxnit  almost  any  man,  and  although  your  compet- 
itor may  pursue  tactics  which,  while  they  may  not  be  agreeable 
to  you,  if  not  actually  harmful  at  times  apparently,  yet  you 
cannot  remedy  his  methods  by  talking  ill  of  him.  If  anyone 
insists  upon  telling  you  what  he  is  donig,  it  is  a  good  policy  to 
listen  to  it  all  and  then  when  it  comes  time  for  you  to  express 
an  opinion,  better  pass  the  matter  over  as  of  little  conse(juence 
and  endeavor  to  interest  your  visitors  in  what  you  may  have  to 
sell. 

So  long  as  you  have  the  attention  of  your  customer,  you 
have  a  decided  advantage  over  all  competitors,  and  it  would 
seem  to  be  a  plain  duty  which  the  retailer  owes  to  himself  to 
fill  his  customer's  ears  with  that  kind  of  information  which 
will  convince  him  that  he  must  buy  the  identical  thing  which 
he  is  being  ofTered,  not  only  because  it  will  exactly  fill  his  needs, 
but  because  he  wants  to  buy  it  of  you,  and  in  that  way  you  get 
the  benefit  of  his  trading.  Such  a  feeling  as  this,  everyone  who 
sells  goods  should  really  strive  to  create.  It  matters  not  what 
your  competitor  may  say,  but  when  once  you  create  that  feel- 
ing you  can  more  readily  succeed  in  accomplishing  your  object. 
It  will  be  far  more  j^rofitable  to  forget  all  about  your  com- 
petitor and  let  himself  take  care  of  himself  while  you  are  land- 
ing the  orders. 


Burglars  entered  Charles  IVTarshall's  tobacco  and  candy 
store  on  Washington  street,  Waterloo,  N.  Y.,  recently  and  stole 
a  small  lot  of  plug  tobacco  and  cigarettes ;  also  eight  cents  from 
the  cash  register.  One  thousand  lo-cent  cigars  were  left  un- 
touched.

TIIK  Siiiukiiig  Marathon  recently  held  at  Cornell  Uni- 
versity under  the  auspices  of  the  Town  and  Gown 
C  lul).  developed  a  new  champion  of  the  cigar.  It  was 
a  strange  endurance  test,  in  which  there  were  twenty- 
live  entries.  Juicii  entrant  was  provided  with  a  cluh  size  five- 
cent  cigar  and  the  prize  was  to  g(j  to  the  one  who  could  smoke 
the  longest  without  relighting.  At  the  end  of  fifty  minutes 
most  of  them  had  retired,  hut  a  professor  of  law  lasted  for 
seventy  minutes,  with  two  other  professors  closely  at  his  heels. 
It  was  then  that  Professor  T.  Munroe  took  the  lead  and  kept 
on  puffing  his  cigar  until  it  was  so  small  that  it  had  to  he 
held  with  a  toothjMck.  It  was  eighty-five  minutes  before  he 
had  consumed  his  cigar. 

Why  not  establish  a  chair  of  ".Smokology"  in  every  coU

I  guess  there  is  no  other  place  in  the  world  wherein  more 
valuable  or  curious  articles  are  offered  for  sale  under  the  ham- 
mer than  the  famous  Chrystie  auction  rooms  in  London,  and 
it  makes  little  difference  whether  they  are  selling  a  Peachblow 
vase,  one  of  Corot's  masterpieces,  or  an  old  sofa,  there  is 
always  a  crowd  present,  which  includes  not  only  the  regulars 
but  visitors  from  all  (juarters  of  the  globe. 

They  held  a  sale  at  Chrystie's  last  week,  which  included 
among  other  lots,  the  effects  of  the  late  English  comedian, 
Lionel  1 '.rough,  who  was  regarded  in  London  much  like  we  do 
Willie  Collier  over  here.  One  of  the  most  interesting  articles 
of  Mr.  P> rough  which  was  sold  was  a  Sheffield  plate  cigar  box, 
decorated  with  bacchanal  subjects.  It  was  knocked  down  for 
$125. 

The  value  of  this  box  was  due  to  the  inscription  on  the  lid, 
which  read : 

"Presented  by  Abraham  Linc(iln,  President  of  the  United 
States,  to  Professor  An<lerson  as  a  mark  of  appreciation  of 
his  talent,  rlisplayed  at  the  White  House  in  1863." 

I  should  like  to  have  known  Professor  Anderson.  Was  it 
not  a  great  privilege  to  have  entertained  the  mighty  and  benefi- 
cent Lincoln  during  those  heart-breaking  days  of  '63,  and  to 
have  received  this  gift  from  his  own  hands? 

What  a  story  must  lie  back  of  this  article,  and  how  1  wish 
P.rough  had  left  some  facts  concerning  it. 

^      Jt     ji 

It  frecjuently  re(|uires  a  vast  amount  of  tact  on  the  part  of 
the  retail  cigar  dealer  to  handle  customers.  A  case  where  diplo- 
macy corrected  an  evil  which  was  proving  a  serious  menace  to 
business,  recently  came  under  my  observation. 

In  one  of  the  swell  cigar  stores  in  a  suburb  of  Philadel- 
phia recently,  it  was  the  custom  of  a  near-by  resident,  who 
spent  much  of  his  time  in  an  automobile,  to  drop  into  the 
store  with  his  fingers  all  smudged  with  grease  and  oil,  pick 
up  a  box  of  cigars,  walk  over  to  the  door,  fondle  several  of  the 
cigars  and  eventually  pick  out  the  one  he  desired.  The  result 
was  that  the  greasy  fingers  tainted  the  remaining  cigars  and 
made  them  unsalable. 

The  cigar  merchant  stoo<l  for  this  just  as  long  as  he  could, 
and  eventually  several  of  his  patrons  called  his  attention  to  the 


fact  that  the  automobilist  was  spoiling  more  cigars  than  he 
bought. 

The  retailer  bided  his  time,  and  one  day  Mr.  Automobile- 
man  apjK'ared,  smudged  as  usual,  and  was  alM)ut  to  handle  the 
cigars.  The  retailer  .stepped  up  and  said.  "1  beg  your  pardon, 
sir,  but  1  wish  you  would  not  pick  up  those  cigars  with  those 
dirty  hands.  It  may  be  thoughtlessness  on  your  part,  but  1 
know  you  have  spoiled  many  a  cigar." 

Mr.  Automobile-man  was  taken  abashed,  apologized  and 
ofiered  this  explanation:  "I  know  it  may  seem  strange  to  you, 
but  the  reason  I  have  always  taken  the  box  to  the  light  and 
picked  them  over,  was  that  I  was  in  search  of  a  wrapper  that 
was  shaded." 

Thereafter,  the  retailer  himself  went  over  his  stock  and 
selected  a  box  of  shaded  wrappers  which  he  kei)t  exclusively 
for  Mr.  .Xutomobile. 

And  he  kept  the  trade!

A  funny  little  story  comes  from  'Frisco  of  how  Dillon  and 
Snowdon  fell  into  distress  for  sbme  cigarette  tobacco  at  mid- 
night after  donning  their  pajamas.  Dillon  produced  the  cigar- 
ette papers,  but  he  found,  alas,  that  he  had  but  enough  of  the 
weed  for  one  "pill."  This  he  did  not  reveal  to  Snowdon  and  he 
conceived  the  idea  of  locking  himself  into  a  closet  while  rolling 
his  precious  little  dope.  Snowdon  saw  tliat  he  was  put  to  the 
bad,  but  when  Dillon  sought  release  from  the  closet  things 
were  different  and  a  cry  of  horror  issued  from  his  cell.  He 
had  broken  the  key  for  the  lock  and  the  combined  efforts  of  the 
two  contortionists  (they  were  vaudeville  actors)  was  of  no 
avail  in  opening  the  door.  As  the  closet  was  a  3  x  3  affair,  there 
was  danger  of  Dillon  smothering,  so  the  hotel  clerk  and  a  news- 
paper reporter,  who  was  in  the  office  when  Snowdon  cried  for 
help,  rushed  up  to  the  room  fearing  that  a  tragedy  was  in 
progress.  "Finale" — When  the  closet  was  opened,  Dillon  was 
found  with  his  cigarette  intact ;  Snowdon  took  possession  of 
the  precious  smoke,  lit  it  and  calmly  blew  rings  about  Dillon's 
head  as  he  adjusted  his  pajamas.

We  notice  that  the  Cigarmakers'  Union  of  St.  Louis  are 
pale  around  the  gills  lest  the  State  should  go  for  prohibition  at 
the  November  election.  E.  J.  Nagel,  president  of  the  union,  at 
a  recent  big  meeting  urged  quick  action  against  saloon  closing. 
The  president  said  that  cigarmakers  generally  should  be  united 
against  prohibition.  He  also  disclosed  the  fact  that  it  had  been 
hard  work  to  get  them  interested. 

This  leads  us  to  remark  that  we  are  of  those  who  are 
unable  to  discern  any  close  alliance  between  the  tobacco  and 
whiskey  trades.  We  are  quite  aware  that  liquor  saloons  are 
big  distributors  of  tobacco,  but  we  are  by  no  means  sure  that 
less  tobacco  would  be  consumed  if  the  saloons  were  shut  tight. 
The  craving  for  liquor  and  tobacco  by  no  means  go  together, 
nor  is  one  dependent  on  the  other.  H  the  people  were  to  vote 
on  the  question  as  to  whether  there  should  be  prohibition  of 
li(|uor  or  tobacco,  they  would  say  "Let  the  liquor  go."  This 
would  result,  in  our  opinion,  in  a  greatly  increased  consump- 
tion of  tobacco  and  a  bigger  business  for  the  stores  doing  a 
strictly  tobacco  trade.  The  Onlooker.

EDITORIAL. 

The  Congressional  Committee  of  Investigation  as  to  the 
increase  of  living  expenses  received  something  to  make  them 

think  and  smoke  awhile  from  Joseph  Cury, 
Tremendous  president  of  the  Peoples  Tobacco  Company, 

Burden  of  ^f   jv^^vv  Orleans,   when  he  called   their  at- 

Tobacco  Tax.  tention  to  the  increased  tax  on  tobacco  and 

the  cheaper  class  of  cigarettes. 

President  Cury  in  his  memorial  to  the  committee 
cited  the  fact  that  the  advance  on  the  class  of  cigar- 
ettes used  by  the  people  at  large  would  be  more  than  ioo% 
after  July  first,  and  that  tobacco  most  used  by  workingmen 
would  be  advanced  30^  in  cost  with  the  new  tax  effective. 
The  memorial  contends  that  tobacco  and  cigarettes  of  the  kinds 
on  which  the  tax  raises  July  first  are  an  absolute  necessity  to 
the  working  classes  and  they  should  not  be  discriminated 
against  any  more  than  should  food  stuffs.  'Tt  is  wholly  a  poor 
man's  tax,  this  of  next  July  first,"  says  Mr.  Cury,  "and  fine 
cigars  and  fancy  cigarettes  which  are  luxuries  strictly  are  not 
disturbed." 

The  memoral  prays  that  no  tax  at  all  should  be  levied 
July  ist,  1910,  and  if  further  tax  must  be  levied  on  tobaccos,  it 
be  done  after  the  prosperity  of  the  country  will  allow  of  an 
increase. 


It  is  gratifying  to  realize  that  when  a  State  of  these  United 
States  fails  to  protect  its  citizens  and  permits  mob  violence  to 
take  the  place  of  law,  that  the  hand  of  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment can  be  stretched  out  in  behalf  of  peace. 
Uncle  Sam  and  This  is  stnuigly  illustrated  in  the  case  oi  the 
His  Big  Stick!         eij^dit    Hurley    tobacco    ruftians    in  Kentucky 

who  have  been  indicted  and  found  guilty  of 
night-riding,  and  sentenced  to  various  lines  ranging  from 
^100.00  to  ii?i,ooo.oo  They  were  charged  really  with  violating 
the  Interstate-commerce  Law  by  conspiring  in  restraint  of 
trade.  This  found  expression  in  night  violence  and  in  arson, 
which  terrorized  the  tobacco  region. 


Concerted  effort  is  being  made  at  imix>rtant  point >  \\'e>t 
to  deter  boys  at  school  and  boys  at  home  from  using  tobacco  in 
cigarette  form. 

The  Agricultural  College  of  Kansas  has  been  lecturing 
Tobacco  ^"<^1  experimenting  on  these  lines,  and  their  ver- 

and  the  diet  is  that  a  boy  is  badly  han<licai)ped  who  be- 

Boy.  comes  a  victim  of  the  we<l  in  his  youthful  days. 

TiiK  Tobacco  World  has  decitleil  views  on  this  subject 
ami  they  are  in  accord  with  the  Kansas  college.  I  Joys  of  tentler 
years  slu)uld  be  kept  from  tobacco  in  any  f<»nn.  just  as  they 
should  from  whiskey  or  lying  or  stealing  or  any  habit  which 
tends  to  lower  the  human  standanl.  DitYerent  s<»n};>  are  sung 
to  children  from  those  sung  to  men.  Cigar  stan«ls  slmultl  not 
sell  cigarettes  to  boys  or  to  girls.  They  should  nnt  be  tolerated 
around  cigar  stores,  and  with  reasonable  i)recauti«>ns  there  need 
be  no  wide  prevalence  of  the  cigar  andcigarette  liabit  among  the 
youth  of  the  country. 


Death  of  Mark 
Twain,  the 
Smoker. 


The  American  newspai)ers  gave  much  ot  tiieir  space  on 
the  22n(l  day  of  April  to  the  lite  atid  deeds  of  Samuel  l.ang- 

horne  Clemens,  known  all  the  world  over  as 
Mark  Twain,  the  humorist,  satirist,  philos- 
opher, and — cigar  smoker. 

P'or  twenty-live  years  Mark  Twain  has 
been  a  picturesque  tigure,  his  hair  and  beard 
whitened  by  age,  his  figure  unbent  an<l  un- 
bowed, though  bulfetted  by  all  sorts  of  storms,  especially  those 
uf  a  financial  kind. 

It  is  Mark  Twain,  the  smoker,  that  we  are  most  intereste«l 
in.  Though  he  died  at  the  tender  age  ni  75  years,  he  was  one 
of  the  most  "horrible  examples  "  that  has  thrust  itself  across 
the  pages  of  history  as  a  nicotine  victim,  which  is  to  say  that 
nobody  knew  that  Mark  Twain  was  a  nicotine  victim,  though 
he  did  not  hesitate  to  say  .so  himself. 

To  the  end  he  was  interesting.  pictures(|ne.  fascinating. 
P>oys  could  read  him  and  laugh.  mai«iens  be  tlirille<l  with  love 
stories,  old  age  would  sigh  and  weep  as  they  read  of  the  light 
of  other  days.  As  a  humorist  he  was  uni(|ue.  infectious,  orig- 
inal, vet  engaging  because  easily  interpreted,  lie  was  thor- 
oughly matdy  in  his  instinct^  atid  nnhle  in  his  attributes. 

Jt  is  certain  to  be  recalled  that  .Mark  Twain  was  for  more 
than  50  years  an  inveterate  smoker,  and  the  first  conjecture  of 
the  lavman  wouM  be  that  he  had  weakened  his  heart  by  over- 
indulgence in  tobacc«».  Doctor  Halsey,  his  physician,  says  that 
he  was  unable  to  predicate  tliat  the  angina  pectoris  from  which 
Mark  Twain  died  was  in  any  way  a  se(|uel  of  nicotine  iK)is- 
(»ning.  Some  constitutions,  he  said,  seem  immune  from  the 
eflfects  of  tobacco.  Twain  was  one  of  them.  \\i  it  is  true  since 
his  illness  began  the  doctors  had  cut  down  Mark  Twain's 
daily  allowance  of  20  cigars  and  c(»untless  pipes  to  four  cigars 

a  day. 

No  deprivation  was  a  greater  sorrow  to  him.  He  tried  to 
smoke  on  the  steanisliip  while  returning  from  Bermuda,  and 
only  gave  it  up  because  he  was  too  feeble  to  draw  on  his  |)ipe. 
Even  on  his  deathbed,  when  he  had  passed  the  point  of  speech 
and  it  was  no  longer  certain  that  his  ideas  were  lucid,  he  would 
make  the  motion  of  waving  a  cigar,  and.  smiling,  expel  empty 
air  from  under  his  moustache  still  stained  whh  smoke.

First  Dividend  for  Hillman  Creditors. 

-  ^  ,\\\\\  Creditor's  Committee  of  the  A.  H.  Hillman  Co., 
the  New  York  jobbers,  now  in  licjuidation,  have  de- 
clared a  rtrst  dividend  of  25%.  Checks  for  his 
amount  were  mailed  during  the  past  week  to  the 
various  creditors  whose  claims  have  been  proved.  There  are 
some  outstanding  accounts  still  uncollected,  which  are  slowly 
coming  in  and  which  will  eventually  provide  for  another  divi- 
dend. 


Mendel  &  Co.  in  New  Factory. 

Joseph  W.  Mendel,  of  Mendel  &  Co.,  returned  to  New 
York  recently  from  his  trip  through  the  West  and  Pacific 
Coast.  He  had  been  away  about  three  months,  and  during 
that  time  he  had  an  opportunity  to  come  in  close  touch  with  his 
trade  in  that  territory,  and  many  large  orders  on  the  "Flor  de 
Mendel"  and  other  brands  have  been  the  result. 

JJe  remained  in  the  city  only  a  short  time  and  on  April 
25th  went  to  IJoston,  where  he  met  his  New  England  salesman. 
Their  new  brand,  "iCdna  Wallace  Hopper",  has  met  with  im- 
mediate favor,  which  is  evidenced  by  the  re-orders  now  com- 
ing in. 

May  1st  will  mark  a  new  era  with  this  house,  as  at  that 
time  they  will  occupy  their  new  factory  at  202-204  East  looth 
street.  The  building  has  five  stories  with  basement  and  sub- 
basement  and  modernly  equipped  to  date. 


M.  F.  Robinson  Retires. 

Maurice  1\  Robinson,  "IJobby,"  of  the  firm  of  Storm, 
Robinson  &  Co.,  61  Warren  street.  New  York,  is  retiring  from 
the  firm.  He  has  not  as  yet  made  any  definite  plans  for  the 
future.  In  the  meantime  he  will  make  an  automobile  trip  for 
a  couple  of  weeks,  touring  the  Adirondacks  and  New  York 
State. 

Mr.  Robin.son  has  been  associated  with  the  firm  of  Storm, 
Robinson  &  Co.  since  its  formation  in  Decen'iber,  1908.  His 
retirement  will  in  no  way  affect  the  policy  of  the  company, 
which  will  be  continued  as  heretofore  under  the  same  firm 
name.     Their  leading  brand  is  "La  Sonida." 


Mr.  Schinasi's  Extensive  Tour. 

After  a  pleasant  four  months'  trip  to  Europe,  in  which  he 
visited  all  the  important  jxnnts  of  interest,  accompanied  by  his 
wife,  S.  Sch'ina.si,  of  Schinasi  Bros.,  cigarette  manufacturers, 
has  returned  to  New  York.  Mr.  Schinasi  was  much  bene- 
fited by  his  trip  abroad  and  returns  to  business  with  renewed 
vigor. 


Dunn  to  Build  New  1 00,000-a-Day  Factory. 

I  IP  iRECTlON  of  a  new  factory,  having  a  capacity  of 
l^jfl  100,000  cigars  a  day,  has  been  started  by  T.  J.  Dunn 
tUPtl  &  Co.,  at  Coplay,  Pa.  The  new  factory,  which  is  to 
be  of  brick,  will  be  four  stories  in  heigiit  and  have  a 
basement  50  x  100  feet.  The  present  factory  has  35,000  a  day 
capacity,  and  when  the  new  structure  is  completed  it  will  be 
converted  into  a  stripping  department.  'J'he  avalanche  of 
orders  for  the  "New  Bachelors",  which  has  been  overtaxing 
the  Dunn  facilities,  necessitated  the  erection  of  this  immense 
new  plant. 


The  H.  N.  Gitt  Company  Formed. 

An  application  has  been  filed  at  Albany  for  a  charter  for 
the  H.  N.  Gitt  Company.  The  caj^ital  stock  of  the  company 
is  named  at  $10,000,  which,  by  the  way,  is  merely  nominal,  and 
the  value  of  the  assets  and  businesses  to  be  atken  over  by  the 
new  company  will,  it  is  believed,  exceed  $i,(XK3,ooo. 

This  action  is  the  outcome  of  the  recent  litigation  in  the 
affairs  of  Loeb  &  Co.,  and  the  new  comj)any,  which  is  vir- 
tually a  holding  company,  is  to  take  over  the  afifairs  and  busi-

an  arrangement  said  to  have  been  practically  consummated  be- 
tween the  firm  of  Loeb  &  Co.  and  its  creditors.  Jn  the  papers 
tiled  the  following  officers'  are  named:  President,  George 
Shaw ;  treasurer,  Aaron  J.  Bach ;  secretary,  Joseph  Byrne.

**  United  "   Protests  Tax  on  Manilas. 
Strong    Fight    Being    Made     to     Have     Duty     Rescinded    on  Cigars 

Trans-shipped  at  Hong-Kong. 

DECLSION  is  expected  shortly  in  the  appeal  made 
by  the  Cnited  Cigar  Stores  Company  from  Collector 
Loeb's  now  famous  decision  that  cigars  from  Manila, 
which  were  trans-shipped  at  I  fong  Kong,  are  not  to 
be  admitted  free  because  they  were  not  shipped  direct. 

The  final  hearing  in  the  case  was  held  last  week  bef»>re 
General  Appraisers  Waite  and  Hay.  of  New  York.  Att(»rney 
Max  E.  Kohler  represented  the  Tnited  and  Charles  D.  liaker 
the  Government. 

The  facts  on  which  this  suit  is  based  are  familiar  to  the 
cigar  trade  of  this  country.  The  law  admitting  Philippine 
cigars  free  i)rovi(les  that  the  goods  nnist  come  by  direct  ship- 
ment, which  clause  was  construed  to  mean  "a  continuous  voy- 
age and  in  one  bottom."  The  United's  first  shi])ment  was  sent 
from  Manila  to  Hong-Kong  and  there  transferred  to  another 
ship,  which  landed  the  goods  at  San  hVancisco.  This  consign- 
ment was  admitted  free  by  the  Customs  officials,  before  the 
Government  realized  that  the  new  law  l^ad  been  violated.  Suit 
was  then  instituted  against  the  United  to  recover  the  duties. 
Meantime,  a  similar  consigmnent.  which  was  also  trans- 
shipped, arrived  in  New  York  and  (^)llector  Loeb  assessed 
them  at  the  full  duty  of  $4.50  and  25%  ad  valorum. 

The  New  York  shijnnent  comprised  250,000  cigars,  valued 
at  $3,300.  from  which  a  duty  was  collected  of  $17,000. 

The  principal  witness  at  the  hearing  in  New  ^'ork  was 
Vice-president  William  T.  I'osey,  who  declared  that  a  great  in- 
justice had  been  done  the  company  by  the  imposition  of  a  duty. 
He  averred  that  the  transferring  of  cigars  from  one  vessel  to 
another  in  Hong-Kong  did  not  violate  the  interpretation  of  the 
law  since  these  goods  were  not  landed,  and  t(j  all  intents  and 
purposes  were  shipped  direct. 


Sig.  Sichel,  of  Sig.  Sichel  t!^'  Co..  of  Portland.  ( )regon.  who 
recently  spent  a  week  in  New  York,  returned  to  his  I'ortland 
office  in  time  to  meet  E.  P.  Cc^rdero  and  Col.  Levine.  who  were 
covering  tlie  Pacific  Coast,  and  reached  INirtland  on  \])ril  24th. 
Mr.  Sichel's  finn  is  the  largest  distributing  house  in  Portland, 
in  addition  to  which  they  control  several  high  class  retail  stores. 
They  are  also  distributors  for  the  E.  P.  Cordero  brands.  "Mi 
Hogar"  and  "La  Superior." 

Mr.  Cordero  and  Col.  Levine  are  making  excellent  head- 
way on  their  journey  and  will  probably  return  to  New  York 
ahead  of  their  scheduled  time. 


Jacob  Rosenstadt,  of  Rosenstadt  &  Jacobs,  returned  from 
his  Havana  trip  in  time  to  shake  hands  and  say  good-bye  to 
his  partner,  Louis  Jacobs,  who  left  New  York  on  .April  15th 
for  a  two  months'  trip  through  Canada  and  British  Columbia, 
and  out  as  far  as  Victoria.  This  enterprising  firm,  wdiich.  by 
the  way,  only  started  in  business  last  July,  have  built  up  a  very 
prosperous  trade  on  TLavana  and  Sumatra  as  well  as  foreign 
tobaccos,  including  Domingo.  St.  Eelix  and  Carmen.  South 
American,  tobaccos,  making  a  specialty  of  Canada  and  I'ritish 
Columbia.  They  have  outgrown  their  old  quarters  at  3  Burl- 
ing Slip,  and  on  May  ist  took  the  first  floor  at  148  Water 
street. 


A.  W.  Lennox,  of  Manrara  Bros..  89  W^ater  street,  left 
New  York  on  April  20th  for  New  York  State  and  the  Middle 
West,  going  out  as  far  as  Denver.  He  will  call  on  the  trade 
generally  and  meet  his  salesmen  on  this  territor\'.  The  "Mi 
Election"  and  "Infallible"  brands  are  their  leaders,  while  the 
"Rivoli"  is  increasing  its  popuarity.  The  latter  brand,  how- 
ever, is  placed  in  special  .sections  only  and  does  not  have  the 
general  distribution  as  the  former.  Mr.  Lennox  expects  to  be 
away  from  four  to  six  weeks. 


The  A.  T.  Company  Will  Stand  Increases. 

HE  American  Tobacco  Company's  announcement 
that  it  will  stand  the  increased  taxes  efl^ective  July 
1st  next  and  will  add  nothing  to  the  prices  now  pre- 
vailing has  caused  considerable  comment. 
\\\  able  force  of  auditors  are  already  ai  work  to  figure 
out  the  effect  of  increased  taxation  in  all  branches  of  the 
American  Tobacco  Company's  business,  and  assurance  is  given 
that  there  will  be  no  change  in  the  weight,  size  or  price  of  their 
brands  of  plug  and  twist  tobacco  following  the  new  law.  nor 
would  there  be  on  any  of  their  tobaccos  affected  by  this  tax. 

The  statement  is  made  that  the  American  Tobacco  Com- 
pany will  suflfer  themselves  by  increased  taxation  not  less  than 
frvun  $2,000,000  to  $3,000,000  a  year  and  that  in  no  instances 
will  consumers  pay  any  more  ft)r  the  company's  brands  than 
they  are  paying  now. 


Ruth  &  Driscoll,  brokers  and  special  representatives  of  R. 
G.  Sullivan,  manufacturer  of  "7-20-4"  cigars,  have  removed 
their  offices  from  136  Water  street  to  larger  and  more  com- 
modious (|uarters  at  168  Water  street.  They  are  at  present 
very  much  interested  in  the  new  Sumatra,  and  as  usual  watch- 
ing out  for  Mr.  Sullivan's  interests. 

E.  Kleiner  &  Co.  have  added  a  new  brand,  "La  Eamosa", 
to  their  list  of  popular  sellers.  It  is  a  seed  and  Havana  of 
excellent  (juality,  and  altlnMigh  oidy  locally  distributed  at  pres- 
ent, it  promises  to  become  one  of  the  leading  factors  with  this 
house. 


Herz  Brothers  have  issued  a  notice  to  the  trade  this  week, 
that  after  ALay  ist  they  will  be  located  in  new  and  commodious 
offices  at  139  Front  street.  This  house,  which  is  an  old  one, 
does  both  an  importing  and  jobbing  business  in  leaf  tobacco. 

J.  B.  Henny,  46  Cedar  street.  New  York ;  C.  F.  De  Lords 
and  Walter  J.  Masterson,  of  80  Wall  street.  New  York,  have

of  the  Philadelj)hia  branch  factory  of  the  American  Cij^ar 
Comj>any  for  a  number  of  years  and  is  familiar  with  every 
detail  of  the  cipjar  business,  has  become  treasurer  of  the  com- 
pany. 

Amonjj  the  first  moves  made  since  the  reorfranization,  has 
been  the  enjj^aj^'omont  of  E.  R.  Dempsey  to  act  as  sales  man- 
af^er.  Mr.  Dempsey  is  in  close  tcnich  with  the  trade  and  was 
formerly  in  business  for  himself  under  the  name  of  Dempsey 
&'  Koch.  It  is  his  intention  to  travel  considerably  and  he  will 
have  associated  with  him  a  corps  of  efficient  salesmen. 

Res|X)ndin}:;^  to  the  demands  of  the  trade,  the  Cores-Mar- 
tinez Company  has  just  put  on  the  market  a  brand  which  has 
been  well  named  "Dignifico."  The  "Dij^nifico"  is  made  in  the 
Invincible  size  and  is  a  high-class  smoke.  Tt  can  be  sold  with 
profit  by  retailor  at  six  cents  during  the  week  and  oflfered  on 
Fridays  and  Saturdays  at  five  for  twenty-five  cents. 

In  addition- to  the  "Dignifico"  brand,  the  Cores-Martinez 
Company  will  maintain  the  standard  quality  of  their  other  well 
known  brands,  the  "V.  Ps,"  "John  W'cavcr"  and  "Convinci- 
dad,"  which  are  having  a  tremendous  sale  nowadays  in  all 
parts  of  the  country. 

With  the  changes  above  outlined  and  an  ambition  tf)  make 
a  new  record,  the  Cores-Martinez  Company  is  likely  to  be 
hoard  from  in  no  uncertain  wav  wMthin  the  next  vear. 


A.   Ebbling  to  Act  as  Distributor. 

A.  l^l)bli!ig.  formerly  manager  of  the  Waldorf-Astoria 
branch  cigar  shop  in  Philadelphia,  has  launched  into  business 
for  himself  an«l  has  opened  offices  at  toii  Chestnut  street. 
Mr.  Ebbling  will  act  as  distributor  for  several  well-known 
brands  of  cigars,  including  the  "El  Gallego",  wdiich  was  one  of 
the  E.  G.  Stean  &  Company's  best  sellers. 


United  Cigar  Stores  Company  Selling  Plant. 

Wf*!  notice  in  the  show  windows  of  the  United  Cigar 
.Stores  Company  at  several  of  its  branches  in  West 
Philadelphia  and  at  Third  and  Market  streets,  of- 
fering a  five-cent  package  of  "Woodcock"  tobacco 
free  with  a  tent-cent  purchase,  in  addition  to  which  they  are 
also  issuing  a  25-cent  certificate  with  each  ten-cent  purchase. 
In  West  Philadelphia,  in  particular,  they  are  offering  the  usual 
five-cent  packages  of  tobacco  with  extra  rebates,  which  reduce 
the  goods  in  actual  cost  to  42  cents  a  dozen.  While  the  regular 
price  to  dealers  from  jobbers  of  these  same  goods  is  48  cents 
per  dozen,  conse(|uently  retail  dealers  can  afford  to  stop  at 
ITnited  Stores  and  procure  a  rlozen  packages  of  tobacco  and  get 
it  at  a  lower  cost  than  they  can  supply  themselves  with  it 
by  going  to  jobbers.  The  25-ccnt  purchase  certificate  repre- 
sents a  trading  value  of  2^  cents,  or  a  cash  redeeming  value 
of  i^  cents.  Two  hundred  and  fifty  of  these  certificates  will 
procure  a  Gillette  safety  razor,  which  is  universally  sold 
at  $s.oo. 


Vetterlein*s  Opinion  of  Wisconsin  Leaf. 

Mr.  Julius  Vetterlein,  of  the  leaf  packing  firm  of  J.  Vet- 
terlein  &  Co.,  returned  recently  from  a  tour  of  inspection 
through  Wisconsin.  Mr.  Vetterlein  announces  that  he  is  very 
much  pleased  with  their  packing  of  1909  Wisconsin  tobaccos, 
and  that  it  is,  in  his  opinion,  the  thinnest  and  most  serviceable 
leaf  of  any  packng  in  recent  years.  The  Vetterlein  packing 
this  year  consists  of  a  considerable  quantity  and  is  believed  will 
be  sufficient  to  meet  fully  the  growing  trade  of  this  house. 

In  referring  to  this  firm,  we  might  mention  that  their 
several  salesmen  have  recently  showed  considerable  activity 
and  that  the  house  now  has  four  men  on  the  road.  G.  W. 
Kreider  continues  to  represent  the  house  in  Eastern  Pennsyl- 
vania, making  his  headtjuarters  at  Reading.  C.  P.  Bratton, 
with  headquarters  at  Harrisburg,  is  also  a  Vetterlein  repre- 
sentative, who  has  a  good  list  of  patrons  in  the  territory  cov- 
ered by  him.  M.  Brock,  one  of  the  oldest  salesmen  with  this 
house,  and  whose  head(|uarters  are  at  the  main  office  in  this 
city,  covers  not  only  Philadelphia,  but  also  Baltimore  and  other 
points.  R.  B.  Gibson,  who  more  recently  joined  the  Vetter- 
lein sales  force,  is  traveling  through  New  York  State.  Mr. 
Gibson  was  formerly  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Gibson  & 
Aubrey,  of  Baltimore.

Distributing  **  Peermont  *'  Cigars. 

Of  the  numerous  brands  of  clear  Havana  cigars  ofTered 
in  this  city,  none  has,  perhaps,  made  more  substantial  progress 
during  the  past  six  months  than  the  "Peermont"  Key  West- 
made  cigar,  distributed  by  Joseph  Way,  the  well-known  Mar- 
ket street  purveyor  of  "good  smokes."  The  cigars  are  not 
only  being  strongly  featured  at  the  several  retail  establishments 
conducted  by  him,  but  are  finding,  according  to  all  reports, 
favor  among  patrons  of  well-known  local  hotels,  prominent 
clubs,  cafes,  etc.,  while  the  better  class  of  retail  dealers  also 
find  an  increase  in  demand  for  these  goods. 

Mr.  Way  carries  in  stock  large  quantities  and  supplies  the 
trade  direct  in  any  of  the  numerous  sizes  in  which  the  goods 
are  made  up.  Tlie  label  adorning  the  package  containing 
"Peermont"  cigars  are  probably  not  quite  so  pretentious  as  are 
being  used  by  some  matuifacturers,  but  Mr.  Way  says  the 
(|uality  is  all  there. 


Hagen's  New  Stogie  Line. 

Arthur  Hagen  &  Co.,  manufacturers'  distributing  agents, 
have  relinquished  the  account  of  Marcus  Eeeder  Cigar  Com- 
pany, of  Cleveland,  and  have  taken  the  sellitig  agency  of  the 
Independent  Tobacco  Company,  of  Pittsburgh,  who  make  a 
large  line  of  stogies.  Local  salesmen  are  now  earnestly  at 
work  on  this  new  line,  and  the  results  obtained  during  the  first 
week  of  their  operation  are,  we  are  informed,  quite  gratifying. 
The  Hagen  people  claim  that  this  line  represents  all  that  could 
be  desired  in  quality,  style  of  package  and  liberality  of  adver- 
tising matter. 

The  "Monolite"  self-lighting  cigarettes  are  continuing  to 
be  a  good  seller  with  this  firm.  A  very  elaborate  electric  dis- 
play sign  is  being  erected  in  the  display  window  of  the  I  loch 
Cigar  store  at  24  North  Tenth  street,  to  advertise  the  "Mono- 
lite"  products. 


New  Package  of  United  States  Tobacco  Co. 

"Jack"  Fowler,  general  representative  of  the  United 
States  Tobacco  Company,  of  Richmond,  Va.,  but  whose  head- 
(juarters  are  in  Philadelphia,  announces  some  new  sizes  In 
packages.  Their  "Alumni"  is  now  being  put  up  in  addition  to 
the  former  one  and  two-thirds  ounce  in  eight  and  sixteen- 
ounce  boxes.  The  "Alumni"  brand  is  one  of  the  most  at- 
tractive packages  now  on  the  market.  Their  "Saratoga  Chips" 
brand,  which  is  also  a  sliced  plug  tobacco,  but  which  has  here- 
tofore been  oflfered  in  nothing  smaller  than  a  four-ounce  tin 
box,  is  now  being  packed  in  an  exact  duplicate  in  a  two- 
ounce  form.  Both  of  these  new  sizes  of  packages  are  taking 
very  well  in  this  city  and  elsewhere,  and  Mr.  Fowler  feels 
fully  confident  of  a  largely  increased  sale  of  the  goods. 


Leaf  Men  Preparing  for  Hartford. 

In  addition  to  the  delegates  and  alternates  mentioned  in 
our  last  issue,  we  learn  that  they  will  be  joined  by  a  goodly 
number  of  additional  members  of  the  trade,  among  whom  will 
be  Mr.  Julius  Vetterlein,  of  J.  X'etterlein  &  Co.,  accompanied 
by  his  son,  Theodore  Herman  Vetterlein.  It  is  now  planned 
that  the  Philadelphia  delegates  will  join  the  Lancaster  delega- 
tion at  Philadelphia  and  are  scheduled  to  leave  Broad  Street 
Station  at  12.20  noon  on  Sunday,  May  8th,  which  will  enable 
them  to  reach  Hartford  shortly  after  6  o'clock  of  the  same 
day.  The  Philadelphia  delegates  will  be  located  at  the  Allyn 
House  during  their  stay  at  Hartford. 


The  El  Draco  Cigar  Manufacturing  Company,  at  Second 
and  Arch  streets,  are  much  pleased  with  the  way  in  which  their 
goods  are  taking,  and  announce  that  recently  they  succeeded  in 
having  them  placed  on  sale  at  such  prominent  places  as  the 
Union  League,  Bellevue-Stratford  and  Walton  Hotels. 


Leaf  Trade  Shows  Improvement. 

A  tone  of  considerable  imprnvoment  was  prevalent  in  tho 
leaf  tobacco  trade  during  the  last  few  days.  \ot  only  were 
inquiries  coming  in  more  fre(|Uontly.  but  buyers  were  als«i  ap- 
parently looking  more  eagerly  over  the  market,  with  a  view  t«» 
procuring  some  additional  suj)plies.  Prices,  however,  were  !H)t 
materially  aflfected,  yet  it  is  enc«niraging  that  a  nuich  bettor 
feeling  has  begun  to  prevail. 

Among  the  visitors  in  the  market  recently  we  observed  tho 
following:  H.  Reineman.  representing  Otto  Malchow  \'  C«»., 
at  New  York;  S.  L.  Johns,  leaf  tobacco  packer  at  Ilannvor, 
Pa.;  Julius  Lichtenstein,  of  I.  Lichtenstoin  &•  Co.,  of  Xow 
York,  and  J.  H.  Hoober.  packer,  (tf  Lancaster,  Pa. 


Change  in  Cigar  Manager. 
Owing  to  the  resignation  of  Jose[)h  .Anderson,  of  tho  cigar 
department  of  E.  Bradford  Clark  iK-  Co..  Mr.  K.  R.  P.arrott  has 
been  chosen  to  fill  his  place,  and  has  entered  ui>on  his 
duties  this  week.  Although  a  comparative  stranger  in  Phila- 
delphia, Mr.  Barrett  is  by  no  means  now  in  the  cigar  business, 
and  will  no  doubt  make  many  new  friends  here.  Mr.  Ander- 
son relinquished  the  position,  which  he  so  ably  filled,  to  join 
the  sales  forces  of  tho  Xestor  Cianaclis  Company,  of  Boston. 
Mass.,  makers  of  the  well-known  "  Nestor"  b'gyptian 
cigarettes. 


Record  Sale  of  Havana  Leaf. 

A  new  record  was  established  during  tho  past  week  in  the 
sale  of  Havana  tobacco  by  one  of  Philadelphia's  largest  im- 
porting houses  to  a  manufacturing  firm.  The  sale  is  reported 
to  be  the  largest  single  transaction  in  Havana  tobacco  of  the 
year,  and  consisted  of  a  large  quantity  of  high-class  leaf,  rep- 
resenting the  most  careful  selection  of  the  house  which  ha<l 
imiKirted  this  stock,  but  which  was  prompted  by  its  own 
modesty  to  request  that  its  name  be  withheld. 


After  spending  a  short  time  in  Amsterdam  attending 
Sumatra  inscriptions,  Mr.  Samuel  Bayuk,  of  Bayuk  Bros.,  of 
"Havana  Ribbon"  fame,  has  returned  to  the  United  States. 
Mr.  Bayuk  has  found  the  trip  highly  beneficial  to  his  health 
arid  the  temporary  relief  from  the  daily  routine  of  the  tre- 
mendous business  which  this  house  is  doing  has  done  him  a 
great  amount  of  good.  To  a  Tob.\cco  World  reporter  Mr. 
Piayuk  stated  that  he  had  the  trip  of  his  life.  During  the  short 
time  he  was  away  he  visited  many  cities  in  Europe,  including 
in  addition  to  Amsterdam,  Paris,  Berlin,  Brussels  and  Lon- 
don.    He  certainly  l(K)ks  as  well  as  he  says  he  feels. 

Duff  Bros.  &  Co.  recently  removed  their  main  distribut- 
ing depot  from  615  Market  street  to  435  .Market  street.  The 
building  formerly  (Kcupied  by  them  was  recently  sold  by  the 
owner,  Mr.  John  B.  Oblinger,  of  the  f<^riner  cigar  manufac- 
turing firm  of  Oblinger  Bros.  &  Co.,  of  Lancaster.  Pa.,  and 
he  in  turn  purchased  at  435  Market  street,  now  occupied  by 
Duff  P.ros.  &  Co.,  who  are  the  successors  to  tho  cigar  manu- 
facturing business  of  Oblinger  P>ros.  &  Co. 


W.  S.  Luckett,  of  Luckett,  Lucks  &-  Lipscomb,  recently 
returned  from  a  flying  trip  through  the  West,  but  during 
which  he  opetied  several  desirable  new  accounts.  The  sale  of 
the  firm's  "Luxollo"  cigar  in  this  city  continues  to  show  a 
steady  increase,  and  .April  records  promise  to  eclii)sc  all  pre- 
vious months. 


Cigar  flepartment  manager,  Charles  I.  Reis,  with  the 
Iwans's  drug  store.  1010-12  Market  street,  now  has  a  new  as-

merly engaged  in  the  retail  business  at  I*'ifth  street  and  (iirar«l

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


'iv.**.?*- 


Tampa,  Fla.,  April  25th. 

(  yy  even  the  throes  of  an  excitinj:^  nuinicipal  election 

cotild   (listiirh  the   even  tenor  of  the  excellent  bnsi- 

ness  which  the  clear  Havana  factories  in  this  city  are 

enjoying,  the  season    of  the    year    taken    into    con- 


sideration. 

The  report  is  universally  optimistic  from  the  various 
manufacturers  that  19 fo.  spring  business,  and  summer,  fall 
and  winter  outlook  is  the  hrij^ditest  ever  experienced  in  this 
city.  The  receipts  of  tobacco  from  Havana,  since  April  11, 
totalled  1.732  bales— a  grand  total  for  the  month  (to  date)  of 
4.440  bales. 

Samuel  I.  Davis,  of  "El  Sidelo"  fame,  has  been  in  the 
city  for  the  j)ast  week  inspecting  the  fact<jry  and  going  over 
<letails  of  the  c« instruction  of  the  new  home  with  his  staff  here. 
'J'he  new  factory  is  now  completed  uj)  as  high  as  its  third  story, 
and  should  be  rea<ly  for  occupancy  about  July  ist.  Several 
manufacturers,  ncjw  occupying  wooden  factory  buildings,  are 
after  the  present  quarters  of  the  "El  Sidelo",  but  nothing 
definite  as  to  the  future  of  the  place  has  been  announced.  Mr. 
Davis  left  last  night  for  Cuba,  where  he  will  be  interested  in 
thejeaf  market  and  the  tobacco  crop. 

AnKjng  the  local  manufacturers  who  are  in  Havana  at 
present  are  John  Holtz,  of  Boltz,  Clynier  &  Co.,  whose  new  fac- 
tory building  is  progressing  nicely;  Jose  Pando,  of  Garcia, 
I'ando  \'  Co.  M.  Fernandez  arrives  this  evening  from  New 
York  on  the  steamer  "Commal."  I^rnest  ElMnger,  the  well- 
nown  maiHifacturer,  is  in  the  city  from  New  York  to  look  over 
his  local  holdings. 

licrriman  Brothers  are  the  latest  announcers  as  being 
eligible  to  the  "new  home"  tobacco  families.  Their  business 
has  been  growing  steadily,  and  now  their  i)resent  f|uarters — al- 
though they  have  one  of  the  best  three-story  brick  factories 
in  West  Tampa — is  t(X)  small  for  their  business.  They  are 
announcing  their  intentions,  therefore,  of  building  in  the  near 
future  a  mammoth  new  factory  and  modern  in  all  respects. 
The  site  has  not  been  selected  as  yet,  but  as  soon  as  it  is  bids 
will  be  asked  for  and  the  contract  let  at  an  early  date. 

San  ford,  Ma.,  famous  for  its  celery  fields,  has  a  cigar  fac- 
tory now.  John  J.  Mauser  is  the  owner  of  the  business  and 
promises  to  be  (juite  a  live  wire  in  this  thriving  little  city.  Mr. 
.Mauser  was  formerly  in  the  business  in  Tampa. 

n.  J.  Apte,  of  1^1  Trovedo  Cigar  Company,  has  just  re- 
turned from  a  trip  over  the  territory  made  by  his  salesman. 
He  re|)orts  an  excellent  business  for  their  brands  and  business 
conditions  very  good  generally.  He  is  (|uite  optimistic  over 
the  outl(K)k  for  this  summer  and  fall. 

M.  W'dle  y  Ca  are  now  occupying  the  I'lallard- Fernandez 
factory  building;  they  were  formerly  in  the  building  of  Fer- 
nandez &  Co. 

M.  Stachelberg  &  Sons  are  doing  a  splendid  business. 
.\inety-three  thousand  cigars  per  day  has  been  their  roll  call 
lately,  a  business  e<|ualling  their  last  winter's  rush. 

Mr.  Schuler,  who  travels  the  Middle  West  for  Cuesta, 
Rey  &  Co.,  will  leave  this  week  for  his  territory.

To  Grow  Sumatra  in  Texas. 

IX  thousand  persons,  delegates  and  visitors,  were  at 
Nacogdoches,  Texas,  April  15th,  at  the  invitation  of 
the  East  Texas  Press  Association,  who  met  there  in 
ctmjunction  with  the  East  Texas  Agricultural  Con- 
gress. In  this  big  gathering  tobacco  was  a  radiant  factor. 
There  is  a  Government  tobacco  growing  station  there,  an  ex- 
periment farm,  on  which  the  different  varieties  of  tobacco  arv 
just  beginning  to  peep  above  the  ground.  It  was  started  there 
five  years  ago  at  a  cost  of  $4,000.  The  United  States  of 
America  provided  $2,000  and  the  Nacogdoches  merchants  the 
balance. 

I'hey  mean  to  rear  tobacco  down  there.  They  are  study 
nig  it  scientifically,  and  when  Texas  begins  to  grow  the  weed 
in  earnest  there  will  be  something  to  think  about.  They  sav 
the  soil  is  all  right,  the  sunshine  all  right  and  they  have  thei4- 
minds  on  the  Sumatra  leaf,  of  which  Texas  papers  write  and 
talk  about  as  though  each  of  the  editors  had  been  Sumatra 
l>orn.  The  Texans  are  hearing  of  big  money  made  out  of  to- 
bacco j)lanting  and  they  intend  to  have  some  of  it.  They  have 
heard  of  Sumatra  wrapping  leaf  fetching  from  40  cents  to 
$2.50  per  iKjund,  and  the  statement  is  made  that  Chicago  and 
luistern  wholesale  agents  are  now  in  Texas  contracting  to  take, 
her  product  at  prices  between  the  figures  named. 

It  goes  without  saying  that  the  Yankee  is  in  evidence  in 
these  Texas  tobacco  regions.  He  is  down  there  from  Penn- 
sylvania and  even  from  Connecticut  and  he  wants  to  grow 
some  of  that  tbacoco  at  $2.50  per  pound.  The  Texans  say  he 
can  come  down  and  make  all  he  chooses.

Robert  Eester.  who  is  mentioned  as  one  of  the  bright  young 
men  of  Ouincy,  Illinois,  has  taken  the  road  for  R.  K.  Shaw's 
tobacco  factory. 


The  United  States  Supreme  Bench. 

HE  great  cases  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company 
and  the  Standard  Oil  Company  before  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the  United  States  will  be  heard  the  next 
time  they  are  argued  by  a  bench  augmented  in  the 
person  of  Governor  diaries  E.  Hughes,  of  the  State  of  New 
York.  This  eminent  lawyer  was  appointed  April  25th  by 
President  Taft  to  succeed  the  late  Justice  Brewer.  It  is  a  great 
tribute  when  we  say  that  Mr.  Hughes  was  one  of  the  few 
men  who  could  fill  Justice  Brewer's  shoes. 

Just  what  Justice  Brewer's  belief  or  decision  was  in  re- 
gard to  the  tobacco  case  there  seems  to  be  no  means  of  know- 
ing. It  was  reported  that  he  favored  imposing  certain  re- 
strictions which  would  allow  the  American  Tobacco  Company 
to  carry  on  its  various  businesses,  but  this  is  only  surmised. 
Justice  Moody,  of  Massachusetts,  has  been  so  low  in  health  of 
late  that  he  did  not  hear  any  of  the  argument  on  the  Standard 
( )il  and  American  Tobacco  issues. 

At  present  there  are  three  Democrats  on  the  Bench,  Chief 
Justice  Iniller.  Justices  White  and  Lurton,  though  what  class  of 
Democrats  they  are  is  not  known  by  the  public;  the  Republi- 
cans are  Justices  Harian,  McKenna,  Holmes,  Day  and  Moody, 
they  are  supposed  to  l^e  of  the  "stand-pat  class",  not  "insur- 
gents." White  and  McKenna  are  Roman  Catholics;  the 
others  arc  Protestants  of  various  denominations. 

The  cigar  factory  of  William  Tegg,  937  Dubois  street, 
Detroit,  Mich.,  was  visited  by  safe  burglars  last  month  with 
strange  results.  Enough  nitro-glycerine  was  used  to  huri  the 
safe  out  of  its  place  through  a  window  and  across  the  street. 
Doors  were  blown  open,  windows  were  shattered  and  adja- 
cent buildings  shaken.  The  safe  door,  en  route  across  the 
street,  stnick  an  office  typewriter  and  smashed  it  good.  The 
safe  contained  cash  and  checks  to  the  value  of  $1,100,  but  so 
great  was  the  explosion  that  the  thieves  hurried  out  without 
opening  the  inner  door  and  did  not  even  take  time  to  remove 
their  tools. 


A.  A.  Selsby,  late  of  Idaho,  is  opening  a  cigar  factory  in

The  Temperament  of  Different  Buyers. 

Advice  to  Tobacco  Salesmen  on  How  to  Handle 

the  Various  Types, 

RAVELERS  for  cigar  manufacturers  and  jobbers, 
like  all  other  knights  of  the  road,  are  confronted 
ever>'  day  with  all  types  of  retail  buyers.  The  suc- 
cessful salesman  knows  that  the  first  essentials  to 
obtaining  big  orders  are  that  he  should  kiu)w  his  line  and  be 
able  to  size  up  his  man.  It  is  taken  for  granted  that  the  sales- 
man knows  his  line,  and  starting  from  this  premise,  the  next 
job  is  to  size  up  his  man.    This  is  easier  said  than  done. 

James  F.  Tobin,  who  has  given  the  (juestion  of  salesman- 
ship considerable  study,  vouchsafes  the  following  observa- 
tions: 

"Talk  to  the  average  buyer  you  meet  on  the  road  about 
psychology,  physiognomy  or  temperament,  and  his  answer  will 
depend  on  his  breeding  and  your  apparent  phvsical  ability  to 
resent  impertinent  remarks.  The  ordinary  analvsis  of  a  pros- 
pect is  either  that  he  is  a  fine  fellow  or  a  'damgrouch,'  meaning 
that  he  has  been  accorded  an  agreeable  reception  or  the  reverse. 

"Without  entering  deeply  into  the  (luestion  as  to  whether 
or  not  physiognomy  and  phrenology  funiish  such  infallible  in- 
dications of  character  as  their  followers  assert,  yet  it  must  be 
admitted  that  a  man's  exterior  is  in  some  directions  an  almost 
infallible  criterion  by  which  to  judge  whether  or  not  he  pos- 
sesses certain  qualities.  The  'highbrows'  have  divided  the  tem- 
peraments into  three  classes:  The  Phlegmatic,  the  Nervous 
and  the  Sanguine,  each  of  which  has  certain  marked  physical 
characteristics. 

THE    PHLEGMATIC    BUYER. 

"The  phlegmatic  man  is  generally  full-blooded,  heavy- 
featured  and  slow  of  speech.  Like  every  rule,  this  one  has  its 
exceptions,  but,  generally  speaking,  such  a  man  thinks  slowly. 
This  trait  has  its  advantages  and  disadvantages.  Among  the 
latter  is  the  tendency  to  confine  his  conversations  to  such  scin- 
tillating linguistic  gems  as  'Eh  huh,'  'Um-m-m,'  'Yes?'  *No!' 
Ordinarily  this  type  of  verbal  constipation  is  looked  upon  as 
being  baffling,  giving  no  clue  as  to  whether  an  impression  is 
being  made  or  not.  This  manner  of  receiving  a  salesman's  ar- 
guments generally  indicates  a  lack  of  mental  alertness,  which 
to  the  salesman  is  the  advantage  referred  to  above.  The  phleg- 
matic man  thinks  slowly;  it  may  be  his  conclusions  are  sound 
when  reached,  but  his  mental  processes  are  such  that  a  chance 
word  in  the  presenting  of  an  argument  is  not  likely  to  suggest 
ideas  of  an  entirely  different  nature  and  distract  his  attention 
from  what  is  being  said. 

"This  affords  the  opportunity  for  a  careful  presentation 
of  the  salesman's  arguments,  and  permits  of  considerable  elab- 
oration of  detail.  Begin  at  the  l^eginning,  and  let  each  argu- 
ment support  the  other,  gauging  their  rapidity  of  utterance  to 
just  about  the  utmost  receptivity  of  the  prospect,  and  their 
cumulative  effect,  coupled  with  a  few  strong  'reasons  why'  at 
the  finish,  will  generally  gain  the  desired  order. 

"The  fact  that  the  phlegmatic  man  is.  not  likely  to  receive 
radically  new  ideas  (|uickly  or  with  enthusiasm,  points  out  at 
once  the  path  of  least  resistance  for  the  .salesman.  The  pros- 
pect is  in  business  to  make  money.  That  will  be  always  his 
dominant  idea.  Appeal  to  his  desire  for  gain — what  you  are 
selling  will  make  money  for  him.  Stick  to  that,  and  if  what 
you  are  selling  is  a  good  business  proposition  the  rest  is  easy. 

HOW    TO   REACH    TPIE    NERVOUS    BUYER. 

"The  nervous  type  of  man  must  be  approached  altogether 
differently.  He  is  generally  of  slender  physi(|ue.  thin  and  white- 
faced.  He  thinks  rapidly,  generally  in  jerks'.  One  chance  word 
will  bring  to  his  mind  with  lightning  speed  a  dozen  ideas  all 
extraneous  to  the  subject  at  hand.  To  get  his  attention  and 
hold  it,  your  arguments  must  be  presented  tersely  but  sugges- 
tively.    That  is  to  say,  be  brief,  but  let  every  sentence  be  so 


I'lll.KiiMAI  K 


NERVOI  K. 


SANl.l  IKK, 


framed  as  to  contain  the  germ  of  an  argument  which  will  de- 
velop ni  his  fertile  mind  and  keep  it  busy.  Your  apparent  con- 
fidence in  his  ability  to  see  without  having  every  detail  pointed 
out  to  him  causes  him  unconsciously  to  regard  you  as  a  person 
of  superior  judgment,  which  is  a  very  go<xl  frame  of  mind  to 
develop  in  a  prospect. 

"P.eing  a  (|uick  thinker  himself,  he  will  apjireciate  ami  ad- 
mire the  same  (juality  in  others.  \  ery  often  he  will  be  Immght 
to  time  by  a  clever  rejoinder  or  a  bit  of  (luick-wittedness  when 
arguments  prove  unavailing.  As  a  case  in  i)oint,  a  salesman  had 
been  endeavoring  to  secure  an  order  fnmi  a  man  (»f  this  type, 
but  without  results.  The  prices  wH.'re  t.K»  high.  The  salesman 
talked  (juality,  while  the  obdurate  buyer  piitfed  on  a  Caro- 
lina perfecto  and  answered:  '\ow,  t)ld  man,  there's  no  use 
wasting  your  time.  You  can  talk  till  you're  blue  in  the  face, 
but  you  can't  convince  me  that  (jualityis  worth  such  a  differ- 
ence in  the  price.' 

"'No?'  came  like  a  flash  in  answer,  'then  why  are  von 
smoking  a  fifteen-cent  f)erfecto  instead  of  a  "two- for"  stogie?' 

"He  got  the  order. 

"The  salesman's  v<»ice  and  manner  are  also  most  imi)ortant 
factors  in  dealing  with  the  nervous  type.  A  raucous  voice, 
stammering  talk,  or  a  hesitating.  un<lec'ided  manner  are  irritat- 
ing to  such  a  man  and  spell  disaster.  Smooth,  low-toned  talk 
and  repose  are  abs(»lutely  essential  in  accomplishing  the  task 
of  getting  'pa.st  his  guard.' 

HOW  TO   HA.NDI.K  THE  SANr.UI.N'E. 

"The  third  j)ronounced  temperament  is  the  sanguine the 

cheerful,  genial  man.  full  of  good  red  blood,  with  a  vitality 
that  is  almost  exuberant.  .Make  your  arguments  the  same  way 
—good,  straight- from-the-shoulder  talk— full  of  strength,  snap 
and  vigor.  In  the  writer's  opinion  he  is  to  be  won  more  by 
the  candor,  frankness  and  straightforwardness  with  which  the 
merits  of  the  article  are  presented  than  by  any  attempt  to  be 
'clever.'  The  apparent  absolute  confidence  of  the  salesman  in 
the  merit  of  what  he  is  selling  carries  conviction  to  a  man  of 
this  type.  The  salesman  is  not  hampered  by  the  slf)wness  of 
the  phlegmatic  or  the  irritating  vagaries  of  the  nervous  man. 

"In  addition  to  'sizing  up'  the  teinj)eranunt  of  the  buyer, 
it  is  the  part  of  wisdom  for  the  >alesman  to  indulge  in  a  little 
introspective  analysis  of  his  own.  A  careful  mental  review  of 
the  past  successes  and  failures,  especially  the  failures,  will 
probaby  show  him  the  part  played  by  his  own  temperament. 
Conflict  of  temperament,  and  the  failure  on  the  salesman's 
part  to  modify  the  expression  of  his,  is  the  exj)lanation  of  many 
of  the  failures  to  .sell,  for  which  there  was  apparently  no 
reason. 

"The  experienced  buyer,  trained  to  the  wiles  of  the  sales- 
man, and  ever  ready  to  resist  his  blandishments,  can  hide  his 
feelings  of  the  moment  under  the  mask  of  conventi(mal  polite- 
ness, but  his  temperament,  the  basic  element  of  his  nature,  is 
visible  above  and  beyond  his  best  eflforts  and  therefore  indi- 
cates the  avenue  t(i  be  traveled  to  reach  the  desired  goal- 
orders." 


The  capital  stock  of  the  Pcregoy-Moon  Cigar  Comnanx . 
of  St.  Joseph.  Mo.,  has  been  increased  from  $30,000  to 
$60,000.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Important  Changes  in  Milwaukee. 

Business  Continues   Fair -Special    Displays  Featured — Local   Trade 

Notes. 
Milwaukee,  Wis.,  April  26th,  1910. 

SI  I'A'I^KAL  important  changes  have  taken  place  during 
the  past  week.     The  Wells    Building    store,    which 

ggg'  J'ay  Lewis  &  Hro.  Cu.  purchased  from  the  creditors 
of  Isidore  Lederer  about  a  year  ago,  has  been  sold 
to  .Sieve  .Surman  &  Co.  This  is  one  of  the  largest  stores  in 
this  city,  and  under  the  management  of  Mr.  Surman  should 
prove  to  be  one  (jf  the  best. 

Alfred  Reinfield,  who  has  been  connected  with  the  store 
for  some  months,  will  remain,  having  accepted  a  position  with 
the  new  owners.  Mr.  Ralph  Weltstein,  who  has  been  man- 
ager of  the  store  since  it  was  purchased,  will  be  transferred  to 
the  wholesale  department  of  h'ay  Lewis  &  Hro.,  being  as- 
signed to  a  part  of  the  city  district.  His  many  friends  regret 
iiis  departure  from  the  retail  end  of  the  business. 

hred  L.  Jlerwig  celebrated  his  fifth  anniversary  as  owner 
of  the  iMuuitain  Jnn  by  closing  a  lease  on  the  DavidsoTi  H(jtel, 
one  of  the  leading  hotels  in  the  city.  JLxtensive  improvements 
are  contemplated. 

The  College  Inn,  which  has  been  conducted  with  good 
success  by  Schneider  &  Stark,  has  been  sold  to  Harlan  Zea, 
one  of  the  most  popular  men  about  town.  Under  his  man- 
agement the  inn  has  a  l)right  future. 

( )wing  to  inclement  weather,  business  among  the  local 
dealers  has  been  rather  quiet.  Surman  &  Co.  have  been  doing 
a  fair  business.  The  tirm,  who  are  already  enjoying  a  good 
jobbing  business,  will  shortly  begin  extensive  advertising  of 
the  "1  Jingo"  five-cent  cigar. 

I  business  at  the  Wells  lUiilding  store  of  hay,  Lewis  & 
l'>ro.  Co.  has  been  slow,  the  masterpiece  has  been  on  display  in 
the  windijw.  The  I'abst  liuilding  store  of  this  tirm  continues 
to  enjoy  a  good  business,  the  "Rio  Vista"  and  "The  Limit" 
are  being  featured  this  week.  The  Fifth  street  store  is  enjoy- 
ing a  fair  trade.  Harry  Coulee,  formerly  at  the  Wells  Build- 
ing store,  is  now  greeting  old  friends  here. 

The  Abraham  stores  all  report  fairly  go<jd  business.  The 
Wiscon  street  store,  familiarly  known  as  "83",  are  featuring 
the  "Rosa  de  Mayo."  The  Caswell  Block  store  are  displaying 
pipes  and  the  ".\braham  Special."  James  Chapman  has  been 
transferred  to  this  store,  and  William  II.  Klein,  formerly  with 
the  rfister  Hotel,  has  accepted  a  position  with  the  firm  and 
is  learning  the  business  at  this  store.  The  Third  street  store 
continues  to  do  a  good  business. 

Allanson  is  featuring  the  "Rio  Vista"  with  an  attractive 
window  display.     Sales  at  this  store  continue  brisk. 

The  Wright  Drug  Company  are  making  a  .six^cial  display 
of  the  "Benedicto."  An  added  attraction  is  an  old  rifle  which 
belonged  to  Solomon  Juneau,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  city. 
This  relic  attracts  no  little  attention. 

Drexler  &  Jenniches  make  no  complaint.  The  "Kleon" 
has  made  its  appearance  at  this  store.  Their  "187"  is  gaining 
rapidly  in  public  favor. 

Dadd's  Drug  Store  is  making  a  special  display  of  the 
"Semiten"  cigar  and  rei)ort  a  very  good  business. 

The  jobbing  business  continues  fairly  good.  Tindall, 
Kolbe  &  McDowell  are  putting  in  window  displays  about  town 
boosting  the  "C.race  Kimball"  cigar. 

The  Beerbaum  Company  intend  to  push  the  "Julia  Mar- 
lowe" and  will  have  several  men  on  the  road. 

Louis  Kindling  Company  have  removed  to  their  new  quar- 
ters at  348-350  Broadway.  This  location  will  give  them  con- 
siderable more  space. 

A  change  of  considerable  importance  in  the  leaf  trade 
took  place  at  LaCrosse  when  the  Northern  Wisconsin  Leaf 
Tobacco  Company  disposed  of  its  large  warehouse  on  the  Mor- 
mon Coulee  road  to  M.  H.  Bekkedahl.  of  Westby,  Wis.,  one 
of  the  largest  independent  tobacco  dealers  in  the  State.     Mr. 


Bekkedahl  now  operates  plants  at  Westby,  Boscobel  and 
Viroqua.  It  is  his  intention  to  keep  the  plant  in  operation  the 
year  round. 

At  Madison,  Wis.,  Paul  Renter  has  purchased  the  cigar 
store  at  no  East  Main  street  from  Robert  W.  Daggett, 
(leorge  W.  Drager  will  open  a  cigar  store  at  Horicon,  Wis., 
about  May  ist. 

Mr.  Fritz  Lederer,  with  Heinrich  .Xeuberger,  of  New 
York,  has  been  in  the  State.  Mr.  C.  W.  Wobbe,  of  Rose  & 
Wobbe,  New  York,  was  also  a  visitor.  L.  Weil  has  returned 
to  New  York. 

The  market  for  cured  leaf  continues  the  same  as  for  some 
months  past.  The  seed  beds,  however,  are  reported  to  have 
been  badly  damaged  by  the  snow  and  freezing  weather  of 
Friday. 

O.  A.  Krompas. 


A  New  Brand  By  an  Old  House. 

HE  old  established  firm  of  Herman  Warner  &  Co.,  of 
York,  Pa.,  which  has  been  identified  with  the  cigar 
trade  for  fifty  years,  is  beginning  an  extensive  adver- 
tising campaign  on  their  'TIarry  Pulliam",  cigar, 
which,  although  a  new  nickel  proposition,  has  every  ear-mark 
of  old  hands  in  the  business. 

In  a  recent  issued  of  The  Tob.\cco  World  the  York  cor- 
respondent referred  briefly  to  the  success  which  the  brand  was 
meeting  with  in  its  home  town.  It  is  singular  that  so  many 
standard  brands  have  heretofore  met  with  so  little  success  in 
their  home  markets,  yet  it  is  recognized  that  among  the  home 
trade  are  usually  found  the  most  critical  of  all  consumers.  The 
logical  deduction  can  therefore  be  made — that  if  a  cigar  is  truly 
a  success  at  home  it  will  meet  with  favor  almost  anywhere. 

Herman  Warner  &  Co.  are  not  depending  on  what  has 
been  done  in  the  past  by  others,  but  they  are  going  to  blaze  a 
new  path  of  their  own.  They  have  been  careful  to  procure 
an  adequate  supply  of  old  tobaccos  to  enable  them  to  maintain 
the  high  standard  and  quality  of  the  goods.  The  goods  are 
made  up  in  a  well  selected  combination  of  Havana  and  seed 
tobaccos  as  to  commend  them  to  the  real  connoisseurs — the 
smoking  public. 

The  "Harry  Pulliam"  cigar  affords  a  good  opportunity  for 
cigar  houses  who  are  open  for  a  line  of  goods  that  is  backed 
up  by  quality,  reputation  and  ample  facilities. 


Change  in  Kingsbaker-Klingenstein  Co. 

Si  KLINGENSTEIN,  vice-president  and  manager  of 
the  Kingsbaker-Klingenstein  Company,  cigar  whole- 
salers, Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  has  purchased  a  controlling 
interest  in  the  company  and  has  reorganized  it  as  fol- 
President  and  general  manager,  Isi  Klingenstein ;  vice- 
presidents,  Joe  Sunderland  and  W.  H.  Conner;  secretary  and 
treasurer,  M.  Fellheimer.  The  Kingsbaker  Brothers  have  re- 
tired from  the  firm,  and  the  business  will  hereafter  be  con- 
ducted under  the  management  of  Mr.  Klingenstein.

Mr.  Alton  Now  Convalescent. 

Edwin  D.  Axton,  treasurer  of  the  Axton-Fisher  Tobacco 
Company,  Louisville,  Ky.,  who  was  recently  operated  on  for  ap- 
pendicitis at  St.  Joseph's  Infimiary  of  that  city,  is  convalescing 
ra])idly.  He  left  the  hospital  about  the  middle  of  April  and  is 
fast  regaining  his  strength. 


Otto  Eisenlohr  &  Bros,  have  had  an  unusual  run  of  de- 
mand for  their  "Cinco",  "Henrietta"  and  other  brands  of  their 
manufacture.  They  are  now  nearing  the  completion  of  their 
new  factory  at  York,  Pa.,  the  additional  facilities  which  this 
will  afford  them  beng  much  needed.

Breezy  Boston  Bits. 

Retailers  Alarmed  at  Change  in  Packages —Traiser  Exploiting    New 
Brand — Retailer  Ceases  Fine  Store — Current  Coniment. 

Boston,  April  25. 
HE  retail  cigar  trade  here  has  been  improving  nicely 
for  the  past  two  weeks.  Jobbing  houses  report  hav- 
ing done  a  very  satisfactory  business.  Our  large 
local  cigar  factories  are  not  profiting  very  much  by 
the  improvement  in  business,  for  during  the  past  two  years 
there  has  been  a  number  of  out-of-town  brands  of  cigars 
placed  in  this  market,  which  took  hold  and  are  reported  as 
selling  well  in  various  parts  of  the  city  and  suburbs. 

The  "Cuban  Smoker"  a  new  5c.  cigarmaker  smoker 
from  the  H.  Traiser  Co.  factory,  has  just  made  its  local  ap- 
pearance. The  cigar  goes  to  the  retailers  at  $3.20  per  hundred, 
less  2  per  cent. 

There  is  much  gossip  in  cigar  circles  since  an  article  was 
printed  in  one  of  our  Boston  dailies  the  past  week,  stating  that 
owing  to  the  increase  in  revenue  tax  on  July  ist,  certain  manu- 
facturers would  place  in  each  package  of  cigarettes  8  instead 
of  10,  thereby  making  the  consumer  pay  for  the  additional 
increase  of  ta.xes,  and  likewise  that  plug  tobaccos  are  to  be 
reduced  in  weight.  Should  such  be  the  case  it  will  for  awhile 
make  things  very  uncontrollable  here  for  the  small  retailer,  who 
will  not  be  in  a  position  to  lay  in  a  supply  of  the  reguar  goods 
to  compete  with  his  fellow  retailer,  who  might  decide  to 
invest  a  lot  of  money  in  doing  so,  as  consumers  will  certainly 
buy  cigarettes  and  tobaccos  in  the  old  style  packages  as  long  as 
they  are  able  to  purchase  same. 

George  Bruns,  representing  A.  S.  Ilulburt,  a  grower  and 
packer  of  Connecticut  tobaccos,  of  Somers,  Conn.,  was  calling 
on  our  local  trade  this  week. 

The  cigar  factory  of  R.  G.  Sullivan,  in  Manchester,  N.  H., 
is  reported  to  be  very  busy  at  present.  Three  hundred  and 
twenty-five  hands  are  being  employed,  working  exclusively  on 
the  7-20-4  cigar. 

Dennis  J.  Quinn,  formerly  foreman  of  R.  G.  Sullivan's 
cigar  factory  for  many  years,  is  now  operating  a  factory  of 
his  own  at  552  Elm  street,  Manchester,  N.  H.  Mr.  Ouinn  is 
employing  ten  cigarmakers.  His  leading  brand,  the  "Red 
Top"  cigar,  is  catching  on  nicely  in  that  town. 

Mr.  Mendel,  of  Mendel  &  Co.,  New  York  cigar  manu- 
facturers, was  in  Boston  Friday  introducing  a  new  nickel  prop- 
osition called  "Mendello." 

A  representative  of  Alonzo  B.  Pandoz  Co.,  New  York,  was 
also  here  this  week  taking  orders  for  "Josado,"  a  clear  Havana 
cigar. 

A.  O.  Berenson,  cigar  manufacturer  and  wholesale  tobac- 
conist of  Fitchburg,  Mass.,  was  here  on  Tuesday  replenishing 
his  stock. 

A.  J.  Frye,  of  Frye  Bros.,  cigar  manufacturers,  Salem, 
Mass.,  was  in  town  yesterday. 

The  United  Cigar  Stores  Co.  are  giving  to  each  purchaser 
a  sample  i-oz.  package  of  "Woodcock"  granulated  smoking 
tobacco. 

The  Boston  headquarters  of  the  Jno.  J.  Bagley  Co.,  have 
closed  up  temporarily.  F.  H.  Roseboom,  who  was  in  charge,  is 
now  in  his  old  stamping  grounds  in  Seattle,  Wash.  A.  L.  Levy 
is  now  looking  after  this  territory  under  orders  from  the  New 
York  office. 

Julius  Annis  (E.  G.  Perez  &  Co.)  was  a  recent  caller  on 
the  jobbing  trade,  showing  a  nice  line  of  Porto  Rican  cigars. 

I.  B.  Krinsky,  New  York,  manufacturer  of  the  well- 
known  "Fifth  Avenue"  cigarettes,  is  now  putting  on  the 
market  a  new  cork  and  plain  tip  cigarette  called  "Lotus."  The 
package  retails  at  15  cents.  B.  Silverstein,  the  Boston  repre- 
sentative of  the  concern,  has  taken  a  number  of  good-sized 
orders,  from  some  of  our  jobbers  and  large  retailers. 

Henry  Weiss  (Salomon  Bros.  &  Stem)  was  in  town  sev- 
eral days  last  week,  and  did  a  very  satisfactory  business  with 


his  firm's  "Aplomo"  brand  that  looks  in  every  way  to  becoming 
a  winner  in  this  market,  which  l)y  the  way  is  saying  a  wh«»le 
lot,  as  Boston  is  a  tough  proposition  in  the  clear  Havana  line. 
Rosenthal  Bros.,  the  jobbing  house  hero,  who  only  a  niontii  or 
so  ago  took  on  this  brand,  report  it  to  l)e  a  great  duplical«>r  with 
the  stores  in  which  they  have  already  placeil  same. 

Baker  Bros,  are  placing  on  this  market  "El  \'erso."a  10- 
cent  cigar,  from  the  Diesel- Wemmer  to.,  makers  i^i  the  "San 
I'Vlice"  cigar. 

Motter  &  Guernsey,  the  cigarists  at  2(>j  W  ashingloii  street, 
who  embarked  in  this  line  about  two  montJis  agt).  have  decided 
to  retire  from  business,  as  the  venture  prove<l  an  unprofitable 
one.  The  rental  of  the  store  was  $500  a  month,  and  altht)ugli 
the  place  was  fitted  up  in  lavish  style  and  the  location  beinj* 
a  grand  one,  still  the  profits  did  not  meet  the  expenses,  so 
both  tlie  members  of  the  finn  decided  to  close  up  the  establish- 
ment. 

Since  the  first  of  the  year  the  sale  of  high-grade  brands  i" 
cigarettes  has  improved  wonderfully  in  this  market.  The 
"Nestor,"  "Phillip  Morris"  and  "Melachrino"'  brands  are  the 
most  in  public  favor.  The  baseball  season  has  o|)ened  up  here 
and  storekeepers  in  the  south  end  district  will  soon  find  a 
speedy  improvement  in  the  business. 

The  engagement  of  George  Yavner,  a  prominent  cigarist 
here,  with  headquarters  in  the  Penn.  Mutual  Life  Building,  to 
a  Miss  Goldberg,  of  Baltimore,  Md.,  has  been  ainiounced. 

An  announcement  of  the  engagement  of  Samuel  S. 
Rosenthal  to  Miss  Gertrude  1.  Porter,  of  South  hVamingham. 
Mass.,  has  just  been  made.  -Mr.  Rosenthal  is  the  senior  mem- 
ber of  the  firm  of  Rosenthal  l^ros.,  wholesale  tobacconists,  is 
very  popular  in  the  trade,  and  his  many  friends  were  pleased 
to  hear  of  the  good  news.

Denby's  Tobacco  Bill. 
What  Detroit  Finecut  Men  Want  at  Washington. 

TiHROUGH  the  Hon.  Edwin  Denby,  M.  C,  of  Detroit, 
I      a  bill  of  decided  interest  to  Detroit  finecut  men  was 
reported  favorably  April   i6th,    having    been    intro- 
duced by  Mr.  Denby  at  the  instance  of  manufacturers. 
The  bill  provides  that  finecut,  chewing  tobacco,  may  at 
the  option  of  manufacturers,  be  cut  up  and  prepared  by  matni- 
facturers   for  sale  or  removal    for    sale    or    consumption    in 
wooden  packages  containing  10,  20,  40  and  60  pounds  each. 

Commenting  on  the  bill  Congressman  Denby  said  to  a 
reporter:  "This  bill  will  rectify  provision  in  the  present  tiritT 
law  regarding  the  packing  of  finecut  chewing  tobacco.  The 
framers  of  the  tariff  law  admit  that  they  made  a  mistake  vviien 
they  placed  too  many  restrictions  on  the  manufacturers  of  this 
kind  of  tobacco.  The  tobacco  manufacturers  of  Detroit  will 
welcome  the  bill  and  its  having  been  reported  unanimously  will 
insure  its  passage  through  the  house." 


How  to  Spell  Lord  Stirling. 

It  is  hardly  necessary  to  call  attenti(»n  to  the  fact  that  the 
"Lord  Stirling"  brand  of  ten-cent  cigars  manufactured  by  the 
Enterprise  Cigar  Company,  Trenton,  N.  J.,  is  sijelled  with  an 
"i"  instead  of  an  "e".  Blundering  printers  in  the  last  issue  of 
this  paper  insisted  on  spelling  Lord  Stirling  with  an  "e"  and 
also  locating  the  factory  at  Trenton,  N.  Y. 

The  trade  who  have  done  business  with  the  Enterprise 
Cigar  Company  know  the  correct  way  of  spelling  their  leading 
quality  brand  and  also  the  location  of  their  factory. 

We  call  attention  to  this  mistake  in  justice  to  the  firm. 


Slatington,  Pa.,  has  a  new  cigar  factory  of  which  Charles 
W.  Hummel  is  foreman.

Havana,  Cuba. 


Havana,  April  23rd,  1910. 


I  y^  I  S  far  a.s  busiiicbs  in  our  leaf  market  is  concerned,  there 
|^\|  is  very  little  change  to  note,  and  while  the  total  sales 
hjMM  are  sonievviiat  larger,  owing  to  increased  exports  to 
luirope  and  heavier  investments  by  some  of  our  local 
cigar  and  cigarette  manufacturers,  the  demand  from  the  Amer- 
ican buyers  luib  not  improved.  Evidently  there  will  be  no 
betterment  until  the  new  crop  comes  to  market.  Prices  are 
nominal  to  a  great  extent.  Some  of  our  dealers  would  be 
anxious  enough  to  close  out  their  holdings  of  old  stocks,  while 
others,  again,  are  very  lirm  in  their  demands  and  prefer  to 
await  uiuil  they  kn<jw  what  the  buying  figures  will  be  for  the 
new  crop.  W  hen  this  becomes  public,  they  will  be  able  to  make 
approximate  calculations  of  the  cost  of  the  new  leaf  and  then 
act  accordingly.  That  good  Vegas  will  fetch  high  figures  is 
the  universal  opinion,  as  it  is  feared  the  quantity  will  not  be 
sufficient  to  satisfy  the  demand  for  same. 

Some  bales  of  new  I'artido  have  been  received  by  Bruno 
Diaz  from  Cajxite's  packing  of  Alquizar,  but  as  one  swallow 
docs  not  make  summer,  so  it  cannot  be  said  that  the  season  for 
the  19 10  crop  of  tobacco  has  opened.  Apparently,  this  first  lot 
api>ears  g<><)d  looking,  but  as  the  packing  was  started  under 
unfavorable  circumstances  by  wetting  the  roof  and  sides  of  the 
drying  house  and  lUK)r  and  thus  creating  an  artificial  moisture 
within,  which  allowed  the  tobacco  to  be  handled,  bundled  and 
then  thrown  int<»  piles,  the  tlry  weather  outside  was  against  a 
good,  healthy  fermentation,  as  well  as  a  drawback  in  the  pack- 
ing operation.  W  hile  force  sweating  in  the  United  States  has 
given  g(H)d  results,  the  same  does  not  hold  true  in  this  island, 
and  former  experiments  made  have  proven  disastrous  after- 
wards. Vor  this  reason  competent  judges  claim  that  tobacco 
handled  under  such  contlitions  is  apt  to  go  back  and  may  remain 
raw  in  the  bales. 

The  dry  weather  was  finally  broken  in  the  country  by  some 
g(M)d  showers  on  the  i8th  and  19th  insts.,  but  as  the  atmosphere 
turned  dry  again  on  the  20th  of  this  month,  the  wideawake 
farmer  will  wait  until  we  have  had  good  heavy  rainfalls  for  a 
week,  or  three  days  at  least,  before  taking  the  leaves  down 
and  l)un<lling  them.  Haste  in  this  matter  may  mean  "repent  at 
leisure."  Nothing  new  is  known  definitely  as  far  as  the  new 
crop  is  concerned,  although  the  long  continued  drought  has  not 
improved  the  question  ;  but,  on  the  contrary,  may  have  done 
further  harm,  which  cainiot  be  told  until  the  "escojidas"  com- 
mence. 

Sales  during  the  past  fortnight  amounted  to  3322  bales,  of 
which,  divided  according  to  origin,  were:  "Vuclta  Abajo," 
1935;  "l^artido,"  50,  and  "Remedios,"  1337  bales.  Of  the 
above  quantity  American  buyers  participated  with  1746,  ex- 
porters for  Europe,  686  and  local  cigar  and  cigarette  manu- 
facturers, 890  bales.

Manufacturers  Have  Their  Troubles. 
Havana  cigar  manufacturers  as  a  rule  are  to  be  envied  for 
their  pluck  and  perseverance  in  enduring  the  adverse  circum- 
stances under  which  they  are  compelled  to  do  business.  Ex- 
cepting only,  perhai)s.  half  a  dozen  of  the  larger  factories,  which 
may  be  said  to  be  making  some  money,  the  remainder  of  them 
are  working  for  "Glory,"  so  to  speak,  and  hoping  for  better 
times  to  come.  France  has  joined  now  the  phalanx  of  countries 
which  have  raise<l  the  duties,  commencing  May  ist,  which  may 
also  decrease  our  exports  to  this  country.  The  following  fig- 
ures taken  from  official  custom  house  returns  show  the  exports 
of  cigars  from  the  port  of  Havana  from  January  ist  to  March 
31st.  1909.  and  1910,  for  comparison's  sake,  viz.: 

From  Jan.  ist  to  March  31st,  1909,     48.133,226  cigars 
"   .  "    "      "  "    1910,     38,8u>353      "

Decrease  in  1910,       9,313,873 


The  Centennial  Exposition  to  be  held  in  the  South  Amer- 
ican Republics  of  Argentina,  Uruguay  and  Chili,  may  stimulate 
exports  of  cigars  to  these  countries,  as  it  is  expected  that  a 
large  crowd  of  visitors  will  find  time  enough  to  enjoy  our 
fragrant  Havana  cigars,  thus  recompense  the  falling  oft'  to 
other  countries  to  some  extent. 

H.  Upmann  &  Company  continue  to  receive  fair  o.-dcrs 
from  all  the  j)rincipal  consuming  countries  and  report  tliat  the 
factory  is  quite  busy.  Charles  Landau,  tlieir  L'nited  .States  and 
Canadian  representative,  is  showing  his  "mettle"  by  sending 
repeat  calls  of  the  last  shipments. 

La  Dili(/riiiiti  reports  the  same  good  news  as  far  as  steady 
calls  are  concerned  from  the  I'nited  States,  ICurope,  Canary 
Islands  and  .^outh  Africa,  as  well  as  Australia  and  South  Amer- 
ica. Don  lUirnardo  Moreda  is  expected  to  return  to-ilay  from 
his  trip  to  San  Diego  de  Los  Ranos. 

Por  Larranaga  is  contemplating  to  move  into  larger  (|uar- 
ters,  as  its  present  factory  is  evidently  not  large  enough  for 
its  growing  business.  The  cigarettes  "Nouvelles,"  all-tobacco, 
five  inches  long,  packed  in  a  "catchy"  package  of  25,  have  met 
with  good  success  here,  and  the  managers  hope  that  their  active 
representative,  D.  Jacobs,  will  also  introduce  them  successfully 
in  the  United  States. 

Henr}'  Clay  and  I'ock  &  Company  report  satisfactory  con- 
ditions in  all  of  their  factories,  as  the  demand  is  fully  e<|ual  to 
their  expectations. 

While  the  business  of  El  Credito  is  normal,  this  factt)ry 
is  in  receipt  of  some  fair  orders,  and  seem  to  please  their  cus- 
tomers, both  old  and  new.  The  cigar  is  a  g(X)d  one,  and  should 
enjoy  extensive  popularity  when  it  is  better  known. 

Other  factories  which  are  working  steadily  are:  Romeo 
y  Julieta,  Flor  de  P.  A.  Estanillo.  La  Esception,  Partagas,  Cas- 
taneda,  Redencion,  Carlos  E.  Beck  &  Co.  and  Figaro. 

Buying,  Selling,  and  Other  Notes  of  Interest. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzales  sold  397  bales,  "Vuelta  Abajo" 
and  "Remedios". 

B.  Spector  was  a  buyer  of  500  bales  of  "Vuelta  Abajo". 
Femando,  Fernandez  &  I  Ins,  were  sellers  of  3a)  bales  of 
"Vuelta  Abajo".  Alec  Goldsclimidt  purciia.^ed  close  (»n  to  500 
bales  of  leaf  tobacco.  A.  M.  Calzada  &  Co.  sold  300  bales  of 
"Vuelta  Abajo"  to  local  manufacturers. 

Jacob  Rosenstadt,  having  come  on  a  pleasure  trip  with  his 
bride,  did  not  devote  any  time  to  business  to  speak  of. 

Puente  Granda  &  Co.  closed  out  300  bales  of  "Vuelta 
Abajo".  According  to  a  circular  dated  April  i8th.  the  firm 
has  been  dissolved,  as  the  contract  of  its  limitation  had  expired. 
Don  Jose  C.  Puente  will  contimie  under  his  own  name  at  the 
old  stand,  at  Principe  Alfonse,  166-170. 

Robert  Middlemas,  of  Walters  &  Co.,  London,  left  after 
a  month's  stay  for  his  home  in  England.  He  had  placed  some 
very  good  orders  for  cigars  with  many  of  our  manufacturers. 
Perez  &  Obeso  sold  200  bales  of  "X'uelta  Abaja".  M.  Herzog 
executed  several  orders  for  leaf  tobacco  for  his  customers. 
Rodriguez,  liaustista  &  Co.  turned  over  200  bales  of  "Reme- 
dios". Leslie  Pantin,  after  a  very  busy  season,  leaves  to-day 
per  S/S  "Havana"  for  a  very  well  earned  vacation,  with  his 
family  for  Europe,  via  New  York. 

Other  sellers  of  leaf  tobacco  were:  Herrera,  Calmet  & 
Co.,  Jose  Menendez,  Antonio  Suarez,  Planas  &  Co.,  Gonzalez 
Benitez  &  Co.,  Perez  y  Hnos,  and  Aixala  &  Co. 

The  most  important  shippers  of  leaf  tobacco  were:  Leslie 
Pantin,  Sylvester  &  Stern,  H.  Upmann  &  Co.,  Boning  &  Co., 
Charies  Blasco,  J.  F.  Bemdes  &  Co.,  Heinrich  Neuberger,  and 
Michaelson  and  Prasse. 

Jose  Menendez  has  moved  his  office  and  leaf  tobacco  ware- 
house from  26  Principe  Alfonse  to  102  Galiano  street,  where 
he  will  give  his  usual  close  attention  to  orders  confided  to  him.

Who  Would  Have  Thought  This  of    Duke  ? 

CCORDING  to  an  exchange.  James  \\.  Duke,  a  North 
Carolinian,  who  came  up  North  and  taught  men  how 
to  organize  a  trust  **what  is  a  trust",  has  pledged 
himself  to  (|uit  tobacco.  He  is  charged  with  having 
smoked  up  25  strong  cigars  a  day.  and  also  with  chewing  a 
large  amount  of  the  delicious  weed.  Now,  however,  there  is 
nothing  doing!  No  longer  does  the  romantic  cigar  smoke  curl 
about  Mr.  Duke's  head,  and  from  his  lips  there  emanates  no 
dark  licjuid. 

The  same  authority  says  that  Percival  S.  Hill,  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  American  Tobacco  Company,  has  trimmed  himself 
down  to  three  cigars  a  day. 

Just  think  of  it  I  The  nuick  rakers  are  now  intimating 
that  the  "Tobacco  Trust"  are  woidd-be  grafters  of  the  lands 
formerly  owned  by  the  h^iars  of  the  Philippines!  The  total 
amount  of  land  bought  from  the  hViars  of  the  IMiilippines  was 
nearly  400,000  acres.  If  it  is  true  that  the  tobacco  interests 
and  the  Hawaiian  sugar  interests,  together  with  the  55,000 
acres  sold  to  the  American  .Sugar  Company,  are  as  large  as  sur- 
mised, then  one- fourth  of  all  the  Friars'  land  bought  by  the 
United  States  after  the  sale  of  the  Philippines  to  us  has  been 
disposed  of.  Apparently  all  of  the  Friars'  lands  will  drift  into 
American  hands.  This  will  be  good  for  the  Philip|)ines  and 
will  hasten  the  development  of  the  vast  area  of  fertile  lands 
which  lay  dormant  for  years  under  the  inertia  of  the  priest- 
hood. 


Hans  J.  Schwartz,  a  twenty-two-year-old  cigar  salesman, 
formerly  employed  by  the  Ryan  &  Raphael  Cigar  Company, 
Chicago,  committed  suicide  in  that  city  by  seinling  a  bullet 
through  his  brain  in  a  ro<<m  at  the  Palmer  i  louse.  Despon- 
dency and  financial  embarrassment,  it  is  said,  led  to  the  act.

Base   Ball  in  Porto  Rico. 

Young  Porto  Rico  is  taking  a  great  interest  in  baseball  and 
this  spirit  is  being  fostered  by  Harrison  Johnson,  of  the  Cayey- 
Caguas  Tobacco  Company.  He  has  organized  a  team  from  the 
w^orkmen  of  the  Savarona  factory  and  they  have  already  estab- 
lished a  great  record,  beating  nearly  everything  in  sight.  There 
are  now  three  teams  in  Caguas,  one  made  up  from  the  soldiers 
of  the  regiment  at  Cayey,  and  the  others  from  various  parts  of 
the  island.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD

Kky  \Vi:st,  I'^la.,  April  23.  1910. 
UTilOKIZATION,  by  a  special  election,  of  the  issue 
of  ^i<)2,(xx)  in  bonds  for  the  jnirpose  of  street  im- 
provenients  in  this  city  last  week,  is  the  first  start  to- 
ward the  new  Key  West.  The  money  realized  from 
the  sale  of  these  bonds  will  pave  several  miles  of  streets  when 
added  to  the  portion  that  must  be  paid  for  by  the  abutting  prop- 
erty owners  and  the  street  railway  company. 

This  action  is  of  almost  inestimable  value  to  the  cigar  in- 
dustry here.  Paved  streets  will  i)lace  us  upon  a  modern  basis 
in  more  ways  than  one.  It  will  be  but  a  short  time  before  the 
old  shacks  will  be  replaced  by  modern  buildings,  work  having 
been  actually  started  upon  one  since  the  election,  and  several 
more  arc  in  contemplation. 

Prospective  investors  will  not  be  assailed  by  a  view  of 
tumble-down  hovels  when  they  leave  the  steamers,  as  they  have 
been  in  the  past. 

A  number  of  the  manufacturers  state  that  the  scarcity  of 
rain  in  Cuba,  which  has  caused  the  tobacco  to  become  so  dry 
that  it  cannot  be  handled  there,  has  caused  some  of  them  to  run 
short  on  some  classes.  Tobacco  which  was  to  have  been  de- 
livered in  the  middle  of  April  and  for  the  receipt  of  which  they 
have  made  their  plans,  is  still  on  the  poles  and  will  not  be 
available  for  several  weeks. 

The  increase  in  orders,  which  has  been  going  on  all  the 
year,  is  still  continuing.  A  majority  of  the  factories  are  ahead 
in  production  of  a  corresponding  period  last  year,  and  those 
that  are  not  ahead  are  producing  an  equal  amount. 

The  E.  H.  Gato  factory  seated  250  cigarmakers  last  week. 
This  is  evidence  of  the  demand  for  the  excellent  goods  of  this 
manufacturer. 

E.  H:  Gato,  Jr.,  accompanied  by  Mrs.  Gato  and  their 
children,  returned  to  Key  West  this  week,  after  spending  some 
months  in  Havana. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Ross  C.  Sawyer,  of  the  Gato  Company,  re- 
turned from  their  honeymoon  in  Cuba  last  week. 

At  the  Cortez  factory  they  are  having  difificulty  in  supply- 
ing the  demand  for  their  Boston  Grand  brand.  They  are  mak- 
ing about  I4,<X)0  of  this  size  every  day.  Jas.  H.  Fort,  foreman 
of  the  pickers  and  packers  of  the  Cortez  Company,  contemplates 
building  a  handsome  stone  residence  in  a  few  weeks. 

^^r.  and  Mrs.  J-  H.  Cayro  were  visitors  in  Key  West  this 
week.  They  are  on  their  way  from  Havana  to  New  York. 
Mr.  Cayro  is  a  prominent  leaf  dealer  in  Havana. 

Francisco  Fleitas,  of  the  S.  &  F.  Fleitas  Company,  re- 
turned from  Cuba  last  week.  Mr.  Fleitas  purchased  a  quantity 
of  excellent  tobacco  on  this  trip. 

The  Alonso  Rejas  Ca.  is  ahead  of  last  year  in  orders,  and 
President  Clem.  I..  Knowles  states  that  they  will  increase  the 
force  next  week. 

S.  Wolf's  Sons  have  added  to  their  force  during  the  week. 

Last  week  the  Ruy  Lopez  Ca.  made  the  largest  shipment  of 
dgars  that  they  have  made  in  two  years.  President  Wardlow 
is  very  anxious  to  get  into  the  new  factory,  as  they  are  very 
much  cramped  in  their  present  quarters.  The  work  on  the  new 
building  is  progressing  satisfactorily. 

Sr.  Louis  Martinez,  president  of  the  Martinez-Havana 
Company,  and  his  son.  Fladio  Martinez,  were  visitors  in  Key 
West  on  Saturday,  they  were  accompanied  by  A.  D.  Silviera, 
foreman  of  the  packing  department.    They  inspected  the  new 


building,  which  is  rapidly  nearing  completion,  and  they  ex- 
pressed themselves  as  very  well  pleased  with  the  work.  A 
shipment  of  cedar  boards  has  been  received  from  Cuba,  which 
will  be  used  in  making  the  furniture  for  the  new  factory. 

A.  .\urelio  Torres,  president  of  the  Principe  de  Golfo 
("(.mi)any,  returned  on  Friday  from  an  extended  trip  through 
(icorgia  and  Florida.  Mr.  Torres  reports  very  good  business. 
Manager  Arnold  reports  good  business  in  the  Ferdinand 
Hirsch  factory.  The  (juality  of  the  cigars  made  by  this  com-

Pushing  Kinports*  Product. 

Evidence  of  the  fact  that  the  manufacture  of  cigars  is 
to-day  conducted  along  more  scientific  lines  than  ever  is  to  be 
found  in  the  factory  of  the  M.  Kinports  Cigar  Mfg.  Co.,  at 
Manheim,  Pa.  In  a  recent  interview  Mr.  II.  R.  Kinports,  the 
general  manager,  stated  that  they  are  now  marketing  on  an  ex- 
tensive scale  several  brands  of  high  grade  goods,  which  were 
prepared  after  a  long  period  spent  in  experimenting. 

Special  reference  was  made  to  the  "Flor  de  Kinports," 
which  has  been  declared  a  very  successful  $35.00  cigar.  "This 
cigar,"  said  Mr.  Kinports,  "was  the  result  of  our  efforts  to  meet 
the  demands  of  smokers  who  have  ac(|uired  a  cultivated  taste 
for  a  really  fine  piece  of  goods  at  a  moderate  price.  The  "Flor 
de  Kinports"  cigar  is  a  little  out  of  the  ordinary  in  that  it  con- 
tains a  fine  grade  of  Havana  filler  which  has  been  most  care- 
fully selected  by  an  acknowledged  expert.  Besides,  it  has  a 
good  Sumatra  wrapper  and  is  very  tastefully  packed  under  a 
high-colored  label  fully  in  keeping  with  the  general  good  quali- 
ties of  the  cigar  which  goes  to  the  trade  at  strictly  $35.00  per 
thousand." 

The  "Louis  Mercedo"  said  Mr.  Kinports,  "I  believe  is  the 
best  ten-cent  cigar  that  it  is  possible  to  produce.  This  cigar  con- 
tains a  fine  Vuelta  filler  together  with  a  high-class  binder  and 
wrapper;  as  a  result  there  is  a  big  demand  for  the  goods  and 
our  greatest  difficulty  is  in  securing  a  sufficient  force  of  pro- 
ficient workmen  to  keep  us  supplied  with  the  goods  to  make 
prompt  shipment.  We  are  increasing  our  force  as  rapidly  as 
it  is  possible  and  hope  to  soon  be  in  a  position  to  meet  all  de- 
mand that  may  be  made  upon  us  for  our  goods."

Reading  Factories  Show  New  Activity. 
Retailers,  Too,  Report  Long-Expected  Increase  in  Business. 

Re.\ding,  Pa.,  April  25th. 

V^"^  ISITING  leaf  tobacco  salesmen  complain  of  having 
^^^^  found  dull  trade  in  their  line  in  this  city,  but  a  visit 
J^ggfl  among  cigar  manufacturers  reveals  the  fact  that  bus- 
iness is  greatly  improving.  Local  retailers  also  report 
that  business  has  improved  correspondingly. 

E.  G.  Readinger,  who  had  for  a  number  of  years  con- 
ducted a  cigar  factory  and  store  at  418  North  Sixth  street,  but 
which  he  sold  some  months  ago  to  Yocum  &  Bring,  has  again 
purchased  the  stand  and  business,  and  has  resumed  cigar  manu- 
facturing. 

At  the  factory  of  Yocum  Bros,  a  tone  of  activity  prevails. 
VV.  H.  Yocum,  of  this  firm,  recently  returned  from  a  visit  to 
the  West  well  pleased  with  the  prospects  of  a  revival  in  bus- 
iness. George  L.  Yocum,  a  son  of  the  head  of  the  house,  is 
now  working  his  way  East,  being  at  the  present  time  in  Ohio. 
George  J.  Yocum,  a  brother  of  W.  H.  Yocum,  continues  to 
devote  his  energy  to  the  development  of  business  in  the  North- 
west, while  Howard  Yocum^  another  son  of  W.  H.,  is  at  pres- 
ent looking  after  the  firm's  interest  in  the  leaf  tobacco  packing 
centers  of  Connecticut. 

John  G.  Spatz  &  Company  have  had  a  very  active  spring, 
which  was  in  a  large  measure  due  to  the  extraordinary  work 
done  by  Mr.  Spatz  during  the  several  trips  this  year.  Mr. 
Spatz  left  on  last  Saturday  upon  a  flying  trip  of  four  weeks, 
during  which  he  expects  to  cover  a  number  of  important  points 
west  of  the  Mississippi  River.  The  itinerary  includes  St. 
Louis,  Kansas  City,  Denver,  and  other  places.  Ed.  D.  Schaeflfer, 
a  traveling  salesman  with  this  house,  also  left  at  the  end  of 
last  week  upon  an  extended  tour  through  Ohio,  Indiana  and 
other  Middle  Western  States.  Mr.  Schaeflfer  will  probably  re- 
turn about  the  middle  of  June,  while  Mr.  Spatz  is  expecting 
to  conclude  his  campaign  about  June  first. 

W.  W.  Stewart  &  Sons,  since  removing  to  their  new  fac- 
tory, have  been  making  good  progress  and  are  just  beginning 
to  realize  the  many  advantages  which  the  present  facilities  are 
affording  them.  Charles  Stewart,  of  this  firm,  recently  visited 
the  trade  in  Philadelphia  and  vicinity. 

Theodore  Bixby,  now  representing  the  American  Sumatra 
Company,  was  in  Reading  last  week  upon  his  maiden  trip  for 
this  house.  Mr.  Bixby  is  an  old-school  salesman  and  for  some 
years  was  the  principal  traveling  representative  of  the  Florida 
Tobacco  Company,  which  was  recently  merged  into  the  Amer- 
ican Sumatra  Company. 

Charles  Ream,  who  recently  sold  his  cigar  factory  at  411 
Washington  street,  last  week  removed  to  a  new  building,  also 
on  Washington  street  near  Front. 

The  Union  Cigar  Factory  of  Charles  M.  Yetter  &  Com- 
pany have  recently  booked  a  goodly  number  of  duplicate  orders 
from  the  West.  Business  is  progressing  quite  well  and  a  normal 
force  of  employees  is  being  steadily  maintained. 

That  the  cigar  industry  is  reviving  is  proved  by  the  fact 
cigar  box  manufacturers  are  finding  a  much  stronger  demand 
for  boxes,  and  the  A.  Thalheimer  Mfg.  Company,  of  this  city, 
is  participating  quite  fully  in  this  movement. 

Julous  G.  Hansen  is  making  preparations  for  the  launching 
of  several  new  brands  of  cigars. 

Some  strenuous  advertising  is  being  done  in  this  city  on 
the  "Sheik"  cigar  put  out  by  the  Porto  Anna  Cigar  Company. 
Mounted  street  men,  window  displays,  the  presenting  of  carna- 
tions with  each  purchase  of  a  cheap  cigar  on  Saturdays,  and 
every  conceivable  form  of  advertising  is  being  used  with  a  view 
to  getting  these  goods  placed  on  the  local  market. 

John  U.  Fehr  &  Son  recently  received  several  carloads  of 
tobacco  which  were  shipped  from  Stevens,  Lancaster  County. 
This  firm  is  putting  up  a  considerable  packing  of  Pennsylvania 
tobacco  this  year  and  their  warehouse  is  in  full  operation.

Off  to  Kill  Tobacco  Bugs  in  Cuba. 

RANKLIN  S.  S^^TH.  the  Philadelphia  inventor  and 

patentee  of    the    electric-sterilizing    machine,    which 

was  explained  fully  in  a  recent  article  in  this  journal. 

will  sail  for  Cuba  this  week,  taking  with  him  an  im- 


j)rove(l  model  of  his  invention. 

Mr.  Smith  has  mounted  his  machine  on  an  aut()Pinl)ile 
truck  .so  that  it  can  be  moved  readily  from  warehouse  t«»  ware- 
house, sterilizing  the  bales  of  tobacco  which  have  become  in- 
fected with  that  pest  of  all  tobacco  handlers— the  tobacco  bug. 

I'our  years  of  experiments  have  devel«>j)ed  this  machine 
U)  a  well-nigh  perfect  condition,  and  Mr.  Smith  says  he  is  pre- 
pared to  prove  his  claims  that  his  machine  will  not  only  kill 
the  live  bug,  but  will  also  de>troy  all  eggs. 

While  in  Havana.  Mr.  Smith  will  stay  at  Hotel  Sevilla. 
and  will  be  in  constant  touch  with  the  toi)acco  men  of  th.1t 
city. 

L.  L.  Howard,  chief  entomologist  of  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture,  recently  became  interested  in  Mr. 
Smith's  invention,  and  after  a  series  of  experiments  pronouncetl 
it  one  of  the  most  useful  devices  that  has  ever  been  offered 
for  the  destroying  of  the  tobacco  pest. 


New  Factory  for  Columbus,  Ohio. 
John  Foerster,  of  Columbus,  O.,  formerly  in  charge  of  the 
Sprague  cigar  factory  in  the  penitentiary,  has  organized  the 
I''oerster  Cigar  Company,  of  Marysville.  ( )..  and  is  pre|)aring  to 
open  a  large  plant  in  that  town  ft)r  the  maiuifacture  of  stogies 
and  cheap  cigars.  Carl  L.  Jeflferson.  of  Columbus,  is  associated 
with  Mr.  F(H'rster.  The  comf)any  will  employ  about  200  hands 
and  has  already  leased  a  building  in  Marysville  for  a  factory, 
and  will  soon  have  its  products  f>n  the  market. 


Vaughan-Ware  Co.  in  Richmond. 
Frank  D.  Ware  intends  moving  the  plant  of  the  old  Ware- 
Kramer  Tobacco  Company  to  Richmond,  \^i.,  early  this 
month.  The  new  Vaughan-Ware  Company  have  taken  a  lease 
of  the  old  Isaac  Vaughan  factory  at  South  Tenth  street,  Rich- 
mond, and  intend  doing  a  large  independent  cigarette  making 
business.  They  will  make  the  "White  Roll"  cigarette  and  ex- 
pect to  put  out  forty  salesmen  on  the  road.  I.  N.  Vaughan,  of 
Richmond,  is  president. 


Big  Cigar  Shipments  from  Denver. 

What  is  declared  to  l)e  the  largest  shipment  of  cigars  ever 
made  from  a  Western  State  went  out  of  Denver  last  month  for 
Northwestern  points  from  the  Solis  cigar  factory.  The  ship- 
ment comprised  10,700  boxes  of  cigars  of  25  to  the  box;  total 
257,000  cigars.  The  wise  guy  who  sent  out  the  press  dispatch 
figured  that  if  laid  end  to  end  the  cigars  wouM  make  a  string 
857,500  feet  long,  or  over  143  miles. 

To  Raise  Broad  Leaf  at  Suffield. 

At  SuflField,  Conn.,  it  is  stated  that  a  number  of  growers 
up  there  have  arranged  to  raise  broad  leaf  this  year  instead  of 
Havana  seed,  owing  to  the  demand  for  the  broad  tyi)e  of  to- 
bacco. A  large  section  of  the  farmers,  however,  will  stick  to 
Havana,  believing  the  soil  better  adapted  to  that  type  of  weed. 

The  Cigar  Makers'  International  Union  is  one  labor  or- 
ganization which  delivers  the  goods,  so  to  speak,  and  really 
helps  those  who  pay  into  its  treasury.  It  seems  to  be  not  so 
busy  instituting  strikes  as  it  does  in  filling  its  treasury  for  the 
benefit  of  its  members,  both  in  life  and  in  death.  This  is  ajv 
parent  when  it  is  shown  that  up  to  the  last  accounting  it  ha<l 
disbursed  in  sick  benefits  $2,722,433.61  and  death  benefits  to 
the  amount  of  $2,128,578.74.  These  are  large  and  splen<lid 
expenditures,  collected  an<l  expended  for  objects  which  bring 
the  money  back  to  those  who  paid  into  it  four- fold.

Trade  Not  Yet  Normal  in  York. 
Improvement    Noted    in    Some    Factories  — Doings   of    Retailers    and 

Manufacturers. 

York,  Pa.,  April  25th. 

T  is  stated  here  that  the  lower  prices  prevailing  in  this 

county  for  leaf  tobacco  is  bringing  into  the  county  a 

considerable  number  of  Lancaster  tobacco  men,  and 

that  some  of  them  have  operated  (|uite  extensively. 

(irovc  &  Hoffman,  of  Marietta,  are  said  to  have  purchased 

several  hundred  cases  at  prices  ranging  from  five  to  seven  and 

one-half  cents  for  the  wrapper  grades,  and  two  cents  for  the 

tillers. 

The  cigar  industry  from  all  accounts  is  now  showing  im- 
provement, and  some  of  the  factories  are  getting  orders  i»:ore 
plentifully.  The  con<liti(»ns  can,  however,  hardly  be  said  to 
be  normal,  and  it  seems  to  be  running  in  sections  with  a  few 
factories  here  and  there  (|uite  busy,  but  a  still  larger  number 
which  are  experiencing  continued  dullness. 

Fred  Ilirschhorn,  of  the  United  Cigar  Manufacturers' 
Company,  last  week  visited  the  firm's  branch  factories  in  this 
county. 

The  1  farry  Pulliam  cigar,  upon  which  a  very  extensive 
campaign  is  being  conducted  in  this  city,  has  drawn  widespread 
attention,  and  is  gaining  (|uite  ra|)idly  as  a  leading  nickel  propo- 
siton  with  nearly  every  progressive  dealer,  hotel,  club,  and  drug 
and  grocery  stores  in  the  city.  Indeed,  it  would  be  difficult  to 
find  a  retail  establishment  alxnit  town  where  the  Pulliam  cigar 
could  not  be  found.  Mr.  Scth  Warner,  of  this  firm,  contem- 
plates a  short  trip  West  during  this  week,  unless  the  glowing 
demands  for  this  firm's  pnjduct  should  become  so  pressing  as 
to  detain  him. 

After  the  most  extraordinary  three  months'  business  that 
they  have  ever  experienced,  the  cigar  box  manufacturing  firm 
of  Wallick  &  Gohn  are  now  finding  a  little  relief.  They  had 
been  compelled  to  resort  to  overtime  work  in  order  to  meet 
the  demand  of  several  of  their  larger  customers,  and  for  a 
time  it  looked  as  though  it  would  become  urgently  necessary 
for  the  finn  to  procure  better  facilities. 

E.  S.  Sechrist,  at  Dallastovvn,  during  the  past  week  re- 
ceived orders  for  a  half  million  cigars.  The  demands  ui)on  this 
factory  have  been  so  great  during  this  spring  that  he  has  had 
no  op[)ortimity  of  accumulating  any  goods  on  hand.  In  fact, 
his  facilities  have  been  overtaxed  during  the  entire  season, 
and  pre|)arations  are  now  being  made  to  open  a  new  branch 
factory  in  a  nearby  town,  in  the  hope  of  being  able  to  meet  the 
demands  more  promptly. 

Edward  Noll,  of  Dallastovvn,  has  opened  a  new  factory 
on  East  Main  street  fr)r  the  exclusive  manufacture  of  a  five- 
cent  cigar.  He  is  now  placing  cigarmakers  at  work  and  ex- 
pects to  have  his  new  line  on  the  market  at  an  early  date. 

Members  of  the  cigar  trade  at  Dallastovvn  make  up  a  large 
coterie  of  baseball  enthnsiasts.  with  the  result  that  the  Red 
Lion  Athletic  Association  was  recently  formed,  prominent 
among  the  members  of  which  are  T.  E.  Brooks,  of  the  T.  E. 
Brooks  Cigar  Company ;  D.  P^rank  Kaltreider,  importer  of  cigar 
bands;  H.  L.  Haines,  cigar  salesman  with  the  Brooks  Cigar 
Company ;  W.  J.  Neflf,  of  the  cigar  firm  of  W.  J.  Neff  &  Com- 
pany, and  W.  A.  Lehr,  a  well  known  local  cigar  manufacturer. 
These  "fans"  want  baseball  standards  to  be  raised  and  will 
spare  no  expense  to  accomplish  their  object. 

The  "Judge  Shepard"  cigar  from  the  H.  F.  Kohler  factory 
at  Nashville,  was  recently  given  a  considerable  boost  by  a 
half-page  announcement  in  a  local  paper.  The  brand  is  being 
distributed  in  York  by  well  known  local  jobbers  and  has  for 
.some  time  been  a  good  seller.  The  Kohler  factory  is  reported 
to  be  more  than  ordinarily  busy  at  the  present  time,  with  the 
demand  running  almost  exclusively  for  the  product  of  five  and 
ten-cent  goods.

More  Hands  Employed  in  Lancaster  Factories. 

New  Orders  Cause  Stimulating  of  Industry— Personal  Notes  of  Interest 

Lancaster,  Pa.,  April  25th. 

HERE  is  some  evidence  of  a  revival  in  the  cigar  trade 
in  this  county;  not  only  have  city  factories  noted  this 
improvement,  but  those  operating  in  the  outlying  dis- 
tricts have  recently  been  favored  with  sufficient  new 
orders  to  enable  them  in  several  instances  to  increase  their 
working  forces.  With  it  all,  however,  orders  seem  to  be  com- 
ing intermittently,  and  consecjuently  it  does  not  have  the  whole- 
some effect  on  the  leaf  trade  which  that  branch  of  the  industry 
is  anxiously  looking  for.  Visitors  seem  to  be  undaunted,  and 
amoi]g  the  mnnber  who  have  recently  visited  this  city  we  note 
the  following:  J.  L.  Aubrey  &  Company,  Baltimore,  Md. ; 
Theodore  T.ixby,  of  the  American  Sumatra  Tobacco  Company, 
New  V<>rk;  John  Swisher,  of  Swisher  Bros.,  of  Newark,  Ohio, 
and  .Samuel  P.rudno,  of  Cleveland. 

Philip  Pretzfeld,  of  Pretzfeld  &  Company,  New  York,  re- 
turned to  his  home  on  Saturday  last  quite  ill,  although  he  kept 
up  his  customary  routine  of  work  each  day  until  the  end  of  the 
week. 

John  Slater,  of  John  Slater  &  Company,  recently  visited 
factory  headcjuarters  here,  but  returned  some  days  ago  to  his 
home  at  Washington,  Pa. 

The  S.  R.  Moss  Cigar  Company  has  good  reason  to  feel 
elated  with  the  hearty  reception  that  is  being  accorded  the 
introduction  of  their  latest  creation,  the  "El  Mosico"  brand  of 
nickel  cigars.  This  product  has  been  favorably  received  wher- 
ever it  has  ben  offered,  and  some  very  substantial  orders  have 
been  taken. 

Quite  a  social  affair  took  place  in  Lancaster  last  week, 
when  Miss  Mary  R.  Bard,  niece  of  R.  S.  Brubaker,  president 
of  the  Conestoga  National  Bank  and  a  prominent  leaf  tobacco 
packer,  was  married  to  Charles  S.  Brennenan,  of  New  York 
City.  The  wedding  took  place  at  Mr.  Brubaker's  home,  and 
among  the  guests  was  Mr.  G.  W.  Spitzner,  a  member  of  the 
firm  of  C.  H.  Spitzner  &  Son,  extensive  packers  and  dealers 
in  leaf  tobacco  in  New  York. 

A  donation  of  $2000  was  recently  made  the  St.  James 
Episcopal  Church  of  this  city  by  the  widow  of  the  late  J.  Gust 
Zook  in  the  form  of  a  robing  room  for  the  choir,  as  a  memorial 
to  her  late  husband. 

A  writ  of  replevin  for  forty- four  cases  of  leaf  tobacco  was 
recently  issued  against  John  H.  Greenley,  trading  as  the  lona 
Tobacco  Company,  by  S.  J.  Kohler,  trading  as  the  University 
Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco  Company.  The  tobacco  is  valued  at 
$1350.19,  and  the  complainant  alleges  that  he  purchased  the 
tobacco  but  was  refused  possession  of  it. 


Factories  All  Clean  at  Louisville. 

The  tobacco  factory  inspections  made  by  Dr.  Ed.  Grant, 
I  lealth  OflFicer  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  discloses  conditions  that  are 
highly  pleasing  to  the  authorities. 

Of  the  American  Tobacco  Company's  factories  Dr.  Grant 
said  that  the  conditions  under  which  the  stemmers  work  are  as 
favorable  as  those  in  the  best  factories  in  the  city.  Ample 
toilet  facilities  for  males  and  females,  dressing-rooms  well  en- 
closed and  excellent  ventilation  were  found  in  all  the  plants. 
The  factories  are  as  healthy  as  The  Seelbach. 

A  sample  of  the  artesian  well  water  supplied  the  workers 
was  taken  by  the  inspectors  and  will  be  analyzed  by  City 
Cheipist  Dr.  Vernon  Robins. 


Two  hundred  thousand  pounds  of  tobacco  owned  by  the 
Burley  Tobacco  Company  and  the  Lawrenceburg  Supply  Com- 
pany were  destroyed  by  fire  at  Lawrenceburg,  Ky.,  early  in 
April.    The  loss  is  estimated  at,  approximately,  $75,000.

Pacific  Coast  Trade  Taking  Many  Cigars. 

San    Francisco    Dealers  Waiting,    but    Others    are    Buying  —  More 

Manillas  on  Way. 

San  Francisco,  April  25th,  1910. 

Tl  HE  retailers  of  San  Francisco  are  playing  a  waiting 
I  game.  It  was  confidently  believed  at  the  first  of  the 
year  that  the  slot  machines  would  soon  be  back  on 
the  counters,  and  more  new  stands  have  been  open- 
ing all  the  time  with  this  exi>ectation.  There  are  too  many  jn 
the  business  to  permit  more  than  a  few  to  prosper  without  the 
macnines,  but  they  are  still  barred  out,  causing  a  conditit»n 
which  is  unsatisfactory  all  around.  The  wise  ones  say  that 
the  machines  will  soon  be  allowed  to  return,  and  when  they  do 
there  is  little  doubt  that  the  local  trade  will  at  once  get  on  its 
feet  again. 

Country  business  has  been  uniformly  good,  and  is  still  so 
in  most  localities,  though  buying  has  been  interrupted  in  some 
places  by  anti-saloon  agitation.  In  the  communities  which  have 
gone  dry,  however,  it  is  found  that  the  cigar  business  quickly 
readjusts  itself,  and  there  is  little  to  fear  as  to  the  ultimate  out- 
come. Travelers  returning  from  more  distant  points  in  the 
coast  territory  report  conditions  unusually  prosperous,  and 
feel  assured  thai  this  market  will  consume  more  cigars  of 
Eastern  and  Cuban  make  this  year  than  ever  before,  notwith- 
standing the  importations  from  the  Orient. 

The  San  Francisco  trade  is  taking  great  interest  in  the 
plans  for  the  Panama-Pacific  Exposition,  which  it  is  believed 
will  be  held  in  San  Francisco  on  the  completion  of  the  Panama 
Canal  in  191 5.  The  Retail  Cigar  Dealers'  Association  has  is- 
sued a  circular  to  its  members,  urging  them  to  use  their  efforts 
in  promoting  the  exposition  and  to  attend  a  meeting  and  ban- 
quet this  week,  when  addresses  will  be  given  by  prominent 
business  men  on  the  benefits  to  be  gained  from  having  such  a 
fair  in  this  city. 

Frank  H.  Ray,  vice-president  of  the  American  Tobacco 
Company,  is  stopping  in  San  Francisco  this  week. 

The  local  market  is  still  largely  overstocked  with  Manila 
goods,  and  much  of  the  stock  on  hand  is  found  very  hard  to 
move.  The  standard  lines,  however,  still  find  a  fair  outlet  in 
the  local  trade,  and  are  in  good  demand  in  the  East,  shipments 
continuing  on  a  large  scale. 

H.  L.  Judell  &  Co.  expect  a  large  shipment  of  Manila 
cigars  on  the  next  steamer  from  the  Orient,  and  report  a  strong 
and  increasing  demand  for  the  La  Union  goods  all  over  the 
Coast.  They  have  so  far  sold  the  bulk  of  their  goods  in  this 
territory,  and  while  they  have  sent  some  to  Eastern  houses  they 
are  not  prepared  to  go  after  that  business  very  strongly.  They 
have  the  general  agency  for  La  Lucabana  Manila  cigarettes  in 
this  country,  and  expect  (|uite  a  lot  of  them  within  the  next 
week  or  two.  It  is  expected  that  Manila  cigarettes  will  be  im- 
ported on  a  fairly  large  scale  from  now  on,  as  the  misunder- 
standing in  regard  to  the  revenue  has  been  straightened  out, 
and  the  factories  are  making  goods  which  can  be  profitably 
imported.  The  first  shipments  will  be  used  to  fill  orders,  and 
it  is  believed  that  a  sufficient  market  can  be  built  up  for  the 
goods  to  absorb  all  that  are  likely  to  be  brought  in. 

Emil  Judell,  of  II.  L.  Judell  &  Co.,  has  just  returned  from 
a  trip  up  the  California  coast,  where  he  found  conditions  very 
encouraging.  J.  L.  Hopkins,  outside  man  for  this  company, 
has  been  confined  t(3  his  bed  for  some  time  by  a  severe  illness, 
but  expects  to  be  back  in  the  harness  in  a  few  days. 

E.  C.  Bondy,  of  Bondy  &  Lederer,  of  New  York,  accom- 
panied by  Mr.  Dalton,  the  Western  representative,  is  visiting 
the  trade  on  the  Coast.  Mr.  Bondy  reports  prosperous  con- 
ditions all  over  the  territory,  and  believes  the  outlook  for  the 
year  is  very  bright. 

The  Edw.  Wolf  Company  is  still  short  of  its  Havana 
lines,  "El  Tnfinito"  and  "Don  .\ntonio,"  and  is  getting  in  goods 
by  express  to  fill  the  current  orders.

The  I  b)tTman-.Mo<>re  l\>mpany  lias  ju^t  received  a  large 
shipment  of  goods  from  h'ritz  Bros.,  of  Cincinnti,  the  greater 
part  of  which  are  needed  to  fill  orders  already  btniked.  The 
company  was  visited  last  week  by  Mr.  Friedman,  of  the  Charles 
Morris  Comi)any.  who  placed  with  them  tlie  agency  for  "La 
Integridad"  braiul.  The  1  lofYman-Moore  Company  is  making 
good  progress,  and  is  adding  to  its  sales  organization.  Joe

S«>1.  Arkush.  re|)reseiuing  the  Martinez-Havana  Com-

Burns  up  Tobacco  Stock;  Quits  Business. 

Conscience-Stricken  Groccr>man   Decides  It's  Evil  to 
Sell  the  Weed  in  Any  Form. 

Danville,  111..  .April  25. 
rDI)F''\LY  smitten  by  his  conscience  with  the  belief 
that  it  is  evil  to  .sell  cigars  and  tol)acco,  Edward 
lUiy,  proprietor  of  the  East  ICnd  grocery  store,  gath- 
ered all  his  stock  of  cigars,  cigarettes  and  to- 
bacco, piled  them  in  an  immense  pyre  in  the  middle  of  the 
street  and  set  fire  to  them.  The  bonfire  attracted  hundreds  of 
people,  and  it  was  with  difficulty  that  the  |)olice  kept  mischiev- 
ous boys  from  purloining  packets  of  cigarettes  and  plugs  of 
tobacco  from  the  burning  mass.  Incidentally,  the  bonfire  acted 
as  a  very  clever  advertisement  for  the  store. 

When  asked  why  he  had  decided  to  discontinue  selling 
tobacco  in  any  form.  Mr.  Buy  explained  that  he  believed  the 
use  of  tobacco  a  filthy  habit  and  injurious,  especially  to  boys 
and  young  men.  He  placed  tobacco  in  the  class  of  alcohol, 
cocaine  and  opium,  and  stated  that  his  example  as  a  Sunday 
School  superintendent,  in  selling  tobacco,  was  a  bad  one  and, 
that  after  some  years  of  profit  taking,  he  felt  guilty  of  wrong- 
doing. So  he  decided  to  (|uit  the  business  entirely  and  confine 
his  sales  alone  to  groceries. 

It  is  denied  that  sand  is  ever  found  in  any  sugar  sold  in 
the  Buy  store.

T 


Effect  of  Caution  Label  Ruling. 

III'!  new  ruliiij;  t>\  the  Conimissioner  of  Internal  Rev- 
enue perniitlinj;  the  printinj^  of  caution  notices  di- 
rectly ui)on  cij^ar  boxe^  instead  of  bein^^  printed  first 
upon  paper  and  then  hein^^  pasted  ui)on  the  boxes, 
does  not  seem  to  have  met  witii  the  hearty  response  by  box 
manufacturers  as  its  i)roj;enitor  had  evidently  expected  and 
h<»i)ed  for.  According  to  a  Western  contemporary  some  cigar- 
box  maiuifacturers  are  really  almost  up  in  armss  over  the  recent 
action  of  the  commissioner. 

it  is  contended  by  those  dissatisfied,  it  will  entail  extra 
labor  and  expense  upon  the  boxmaker  and  probablv  \vith(jut 
additional  or  at  least  commensurate  compensation,  who  argue 
that  this  j)rinting  feature  will  be  a  considerable  cost  to  the  box- 
makers,  as  all  boxes  are  made  to  order,  and  every  lot,  whether 
large  or  small,  will  necessitate  a  sj)ecial  composition,  due  to 
the  different  factory  number,  besides  which  the  actual  feed- 
ing through  the  press  must  be  met.  1  leretofore  caution  notices 
were  printed  in  large  (juantities  an<l  by  this  means  the  cost  of 
comi)osition  was  di.stril)uted,  but  with  the  direct  branding  on 
the  wooci,  a  different  proposition  is  created.  It  is  probably 
truly  enough  maintained  that  feeding  boards  through  a  press 
is  necessarily  slow  work  as  compared  to  the  running  of  paper 
sheets  which  probably  contain  from  four  to  six  caution  notices 
each. 

In  the  West  in  particular  the  hoxmakers  seem  to  have 
brought  mto  vogue  the  branding  of  the  factory  number  on  the 
cover  of  the  boxes,  instead  of  printing  it  on  the  bottom  of  the 
Ik)x,  .so  that  the  work  could  be  done  in  conjunction  with  the  top 
brand  printing  ])rocess,  which  cfTected  a  saving  of  separate 
printing  of  .the  bottom  piece.  P>ut  the  new  ruling  would  do 
away  with  this  process  and  necessitate  a  return  to  the  older 
methods  of  printing  the  brand  on  the  top  of  the  lid  and  the 
caution  notices  on  the  bottom.  Two  operations  are  necessarily 
more  expensive  than  one. 

r>oxmakers  are  already  talking  about  fixing  a  certain  ad- 
ditional charge  to  cover  this  additional  expense,  and  it  seems 
that  cigar  manufacturers  are  listening  agreeablv  to  their  propo 
sition.  It  will  save  the  cigar  manufacturer  time  and  labor  in 
eliminating  the  work  of  pasting  caution  notices  on  his  boxes, 
and  the  new  process,  also,  has  other  advantages  which  are  no 
doubt  agreeable  to  the  cigar  man  ;  one  of  these  is  that  the  dan- 
ger of  an  oversight  when  pieces  of  wood  are  fed  through  a 
press  as  boxes  are  made  up  are  much  less  than  when  paper  cau- 
tion notices  are  applied  singly  on  l>oxes  when  they  arc  in  the 
process  of  being  stamped  up. 

It  will  be  remembered  that  not  so  very  long  ago  a  ruling 
was  issued  by  the  Commissioner  of  Internal  Revenue  that  cau- 
tion notices  must  be  affixed  to  cigar  boxes  by  the  cigar  manufac- 
turers and  could  not  be  thus  affixed  by  cigar  box  manufac- 
turers, which  practice  was  at  that  time  becoming  (|uite  com- 
mon. Under  the  new  ruling  the  Internal  Revenue  Depart- 
ment has  necessarily  had  to  practically  reverse  its  own  posi- 
tion, for  the  printed  caution  notices  will,  of  course,  be  done  by 
the  box  manufacturer. 

Space  will  not  permit  of  any  greater  elaboration  upon  this 
subject  at  this  time,  and  the  final  outcome  of  the  action  of  the 
department  will  be  watched  with  keen  interest. 


Supply   of  Cedar  Logs. 

"Importations  of  cedar  logs  into  this  country  are  way 
down  to  the  minimum,"  said  Mr.  Sheip,  of  the  Henry  M.  Sheip 
Mfg.  Co.  "There  arc  scarcely  any  arrivals  on  incoming  steam- 
ers and  it  looks  as  though  there  would  be  a  cedar  famine  in 
the  next  few  months  as  the  stocks  on  hand  diminish.  I  per- 
sonally know  of  one  man  who  went  to  Cuba  on  the  first  of 
March  to  contract  for  his  year's  supply  of  cedar,  expecting  to 
return  in  three  weeks.  He  is  still  down  there  and  is  still  look- 
ing for  logs  and  willing  to  take  amost  anything  good  or  bad. 

*i>ecause  of  these  conditions,  I  do  not  see  how  cedar  can 
hold  to  its  present  price  very  long.-  After  July  ist  I  look  for 
advances,  not  only  in  woods,  but  also  in  all  its  manufactured 
products.  Hoxes  can  certainly  not  be  made  at  a  profit  at  the 
present  low  level  which  is  still  about  the  same  as  during  the 
panic  of  1907.  A  lot  of  cigar  box  manufacturers  are  liable 
to  lose  money  unless  they  make  a  move  to  cover  themselves.  I 
can  only  explain  that  they  either  do  not  know  how  to  figure  the 
cost  of  their  boxes,  or  they  are  willing  to  work  without  a  profit. 

"James  J.  Hill,  the  railroad  man,  has  predicted  a  big  boom 
in  the  fall  and  I  rather  believe  that  he  is  going  to  prove  a  good 
prophet  this  time.  There  is  every  indication  that  by  summer 
a  good  trade  revival  will  be  on.  Outside  of  cigar  boxes  we  are 
doing  an  excellent  business.  The  cigarmakers  have  been  out 
on  a  strike  here,  and,  of  course,  that  made  things  dull  for  us 
in  the  cigar  Ix)x  line  temporarily.  The  strike  is  over  now  and 
we  expect  better  things  all  around." 


Manufacturers*  Reports. 

Cincinnati. 
Cincinnati  cigar  box  manufacturers  are  of  accord  in  de- 
claring that  during  the  month  of  April  a  satisfactory  progress 
has  been  shown  in  the  box  industry,  and  the  business  outlook 
at  the  present  time  seems  quite  encouraging  to  them.  Supplies 
of  material  are  reasonably  abundant,  and  no  noteworthy  change 
in  prices  has  occurred.  A  number  of  lumber  salesmen  have 
visited  the  city  recently,  but  they  found  manufacturers  pretty 
well  supplied. 

The  Geise  Cigar  Box  Co.  announce  that  their  business  this 
spring  has  been  very  satisfactory  with  March  an  exceptionally 
good  month,  and  that  April  was  also  holding  out  very  well. 
They  have  experienced  lately  a  large  increase  of  demand  from 
the  smaller  members  of  the  cigar  trade  from  various  parts  of 
the  country,  indicating  that  upon  the  whole,  the  cigar  trade  is 
not  so  bad  in  this  section. 

The  old  established  house  of  Samuel  W.  Trost  Cigar  Box 
Co.  report  a  fairly  good  business  during  the  past  month,  and 
that  a  decided  improvement  is  shown  in  the  past  two  weeks. 
They  are  now  more  than  hopeful  of  a  good  year's  business  and 
declare  that  there  are  no  discouraging  elements  at  the  present 
time.  The  lumber  situation  is  quiet  with  an  abundant  supply 
available  at  continued  reasonable  prices. 

Aman  &  Sandman  recently  booked  some  large  orders  for 
packing  boxes,  which  they  are  specializing  in,  and  this  in  con- 
nection with  an  active  box  market    is    keeping    their    factory 
running  with  full  forces. 


THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


^:y 


Indianapolis. 
It  is  the  report  of  cigar  box  manufacturers  here  that  dur- 
ing the  past  month  there  has  been  a  slight  decrease  in  the  vol- 
ume of  business,  although  it  was  not  enough  to  cause  any  alanii, 
nor  to  cause  any  reduction  in  their  working  forces.  Factories 
have  been  continued  on  regular  time,  and  are  looking  forward  to 
an  improvement. 

Brinker  &  Habeny,  who  are  the  largest  box  manufacturers 
in  Indianapolis,  declare  their  belief  that  the  noted  decrease  in 
business  is  due  largely  to  a  strict  enforcement  of  Sunday  laws, 
intimating  that  the  consumption  of  cigars  has  been  affected  to 
such  an  extent  that  the  boxmaker  also  feels  it.  Their  factory, 
however,  is  working  on  full  time. 

Philadelphia. 

With  local  labor  disturbances  now  at  an  end,  the  Phila- 
delphia box  manufacturers  feel  more  encouraged  and  have  re- 
newed their  confidence  of  a  more  active  period  during  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year. 

The  box  firm  of  F.  Brecht's  Sons,  which  is  the  oldest  in 
the  city,  inform  us  that  orders  have  been  coming  to  them  at  a 
rather  lively  rate,  considering  the  general  conditions  of  the 
cigar  trade,  and  that  a  full  working  force  has  been  steadily 
maintained  since  New  Years.  They  believe,  also,  that  now  that 
the  initial  months  of  the  year  are  successfully  concluded  there 
will  be  an  improvement  noticeable  in  their  business. 

At  the  office  of  Sheip  &  Vandegrift,  Inc.,  the  writer  was 
informed  that  the  cigar  box  industry  has  not  been  entirely  sat- 
isfactory to  them,  ownig  to  low  and  unsteady  prices  which  have 
prevailed.  Their  operations  were  somewhat  interfered  with 
during  the  strike  period,  and  which  now  being  happily  termin- 
ated, they  are  looking  forward  to  a  period  of  improved  condi- 
tions. 

Chicago. 

Conditions  among  cigar  box  manufacturers  seem  to  be 
improving  somewhat.  A  short  week  had  been  the  rule  for 
some  time  past,  but  with  continued  good  weather  the  box  people 
are  liable  to  reap  the  benefit  of  improved  conditions  among 
cigar  manufacturers,  which  nothing  will  help  so  much  as  favor- 
able weather. 

A.  C.  Henschel  &  Co.  have  experienced  a  gradual  increase 
in  their  business,  which  has  been  steadily  swelling  and  shows 
results  that  are  fully  in  keeping  with  those  of  the  previous 
year.  They  feel  more  than  confident  that  there  will  be  an  even 
greater  improvement  from  now  on. 

G.  Merz  &  Son  announce  that  they  can  find  little  difference 
between  the  business  conditions  of  this  year  and  those  of  last. 
They  put  little  stock  in  the  theory  that  local  option  has  affected 
business  adversely.  They  announce  themselves  as  contented  to 
let  good  enough  alone,  and  in  fact  they  see  good  reasons  for 
believing  that  conditions  will  not  only  continue  to  grow  and 
soon  be  at  least  normal,  but  that  they  are  expecting  an  active 
trade  during  the  year  of  1910. 

New  York. 

The  box  manufacturers  of  New  York  continue  to  com- 
plain of  the  desultory  trade  conditions.  They  do  not  blame 
competition  wholly,  but  admit  that  business  is  dull.  By  the  use 
of  a  little  diplomacy  it  was  ascertained  that  cigar  box  manu- 
facturers from  other  points  seem  to  be  in  a  position  to  offer 
boxes  at  prices  more  advantageous  to  the  cigar  trade  than  what 
they  can  be  produced  for  in  New  York.  It  is  claimed  that 
factories  in  Pennsylvania,  Virginia  and  Maryland  have  certain 
advantages  in  better  facilities  for  production.  This  includes, 
usually,  lower  rents,  cheaper  labor  and  lumber  plants  in  closer 
proximity  effecting  a  saving  in  freight  expenses.

Proprietor  Keystone  Cigar  Box  Factory,  Sellertville.   Pa. 


Use  Locomotive  to  Circumvent  Strikers. 

The  strike  of  the  operatives  in  the  stemmery  t»f  the  plug 
tobacco  factory  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company  at  Louis- 
ville, Ky.,  has  caused  considerable  disturbance  in  that  city. 
After  the  strikers  had  prevented  the  hauling  of  tobacco  to  the 
factory  in  wagons,  the  American  Tobacco  Company  loaded 
eight  cars  with  tobacco  and  had  them  hauled  by  locomotive  tn 
the  doors  of  the  factory.  This  action  so  aroused  the  strikers 
that  they  at  once  apiK-aled  to  the  union  men  working  on  the 
railroad  to  refuse  to  haul  the  products  of  the  company,  aiul  are 
making  every  effort  tu  enforce  this. 


No  Receiver  for  Ohio  Company. 

Application  by  Joseph  Badaracco  and  others  for  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  receiver  for  the  Ghio  Cigar  Company,  St.  Louis. 
Mo.,  has  been  denied  by  the  Circuit  Court.  In  the  petition  it 
was  alleged  that  George  J.  Ghio,  the  president  of  the  company, 
was  extravagant,  and  that  his  "entertainment"  ex|)enses  in- 
creased from  $60  in  June  to  $625  in  December.  It  was  also 
alleged  that  he  paid  too  high  salaries  to  salesmen.  In  defense, 
Mr.  Ghio  denied  extravagance,  and  showed  that  his  expendi- 
tures in  December  included  Christmas  presents  to  employees. 


The  C.  B.  Henschel  Mfg.  Co.,  of  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  cigar 
box  manufacturers,   have  increased   their  capital   stock   from 
$100,000  to  $200,000  and   will   increase  their  manufacturing 
capacity. 


Fine  for  Misuse  of  Union  Labels. 

A  fine  of  $25  was  imposed  last  month  by  the  Court  in 
Galveston,  Texas,  on  a  cigar  manufacturer  who  used  the 
official  label  of  the  Cigar  Makers'  Union  on  boxes  of  cigars, 
the  contents  of  which  were  not  manufactured  by  union  lalxjr. 
The  pro.secution  was  brought  by  the  local  union,  and  the  suit 
established  a  unique  precedent.

NEW  YORK. 

New  York  City. 

WITH  an  apparent  increase  in  the  production  of  cigars  throughout 
the  country,  the  continued  lack  of  interest  in  the  leaf  market 
is  becoming  severely  puzzling.  One  would  naturally  expect 
thai  with  an  increase  in  the  production  of  cigars  there  must  follow 
an  increased  demand  for  the  raw  material,  and  so  there  will  if  the 
increase  in  production  continues.  Hut  it  seems  that  the  time  has  not 
yet  come  when  maiuifacturers  are  compelled  to  replenish  their  stocks, 
an<l  in  view  of  the  fact  that  conditions  are  not  stable  at  present,  manu- 
facturers are  not  inclined  to  purchase  leaf  on  a  speculative  basis,  conse- 
(juently  sales  of  small  proportions.  Various  reasons  have  been  advanced 
for  the  desuetu<le  in  the  cigar  trade,  prominent  among  which  was  that 
the  high  cost  of  living  was  proving  a  tremendous  barrier  against  the. 
consumption  of  cigars.  This  attribution,  however,  is  not  borne  out 
by  facts,  and  the  recent  increase  in  the  production  of  cigars  clearly 
shows  that  the  reputed  cost  of  high  living  is  not  the  chief  cause  of  the 
sluggishness  in  the  cigar  trade. 

i)u  the  other  hand,  there  is  a  pronounced  contrast  between  the 
rapid  advance  in  the  price  of  almost  everv  commodity  under  the  sun, 
and  the  very  slight,  if  any,  material  ativance  in  the  price  of  leaf 
tobacco.  In  fact,  in  many  varieties  or  types  market  prices  arc  to-day 
lower  than  they  were  some  months  ago.  There  has  been  reported  con- 
siderable moderation  of  prices  in  Wisconsin  tobacco,  while  in  Penn- 
sylvania the  buying  of  lyoQ  tobacco  remaining  in  farmers'  hands  pro- 
ceeded at  sligiitly  higher  figures. 

The  Smnatra  market  does  not  show  any  material  change,  but  im- 
porters seem  to  be  urging  the  sale  of  old  goods.  This  can,  no  doubt, 
be  accounted  f(jr  by  the  fact  that  some  of  the  importtTS  have  not 
made  any  purchases  this  year,  and  others  only  small  quantities,  and  but 
very  few  of  them  in  noteworthy  amounts.  We  have  it  from  a  few 
of  the  purchasers  at  early  inscriptions  that  considerable  of  their  earlier 
selections  have  already  been  placed  with  manufacturers  Prices  for 
the  new  goods  are  necessarily  high,  because  of  the  high  prices  pre- 
vailing at  Amsterdam  this  year. 

The  Havana  market  developed  some  activity  during  the  past  fort- 
night, especially  for  remedios.  In  other  types,  however,  there  was 
merely  a  routine  business  done.  The  news  from  Havana  of  recent 
rains  in  the  Vuelta  Abajo  and  the  i'artedio  districts  has  been  most 
welcome,  and  tobaccos  will  now  be  taken  from  the  poles  and  proceed 
to  bale. 

PENNSYLVANIA. 

Philadelphia. 

U.VLIKl'.  the  reports  which  have  come  from  several  of  the  leaf 
markets,  it  is  stated  in  Philadelphia  that  prices  have  stiffened 
considerably.  This  would  seem  almost  unbelievable  in  view  of 
the  fact  that  in  New  York  and  other  cities  the  market,  if  anything, 
has  shown  a  decline,  yet  it  may  be  that  local  houses  were  in  a  position 
to  offer  certain  very  desirable  tobaccos  and  were,  therefore,  able  to 
obtain  a  price  that  was  probably  slightly  above  the  average  obtained 
in  other  markets.  Generally  speaking,  the  market  was  quiet  and  a 
small  but  clearly  steady  trade  was  done  in  domestic  leaf  tobacco. 

In  Sumatra  tobacco  there  have  been  some  offerings  of  new  goods, 
but  selections  thus  far  made  have  been  largely  from  old  stock,  the 
prices  of  which  have  been  not  only  firm,  but  showed  a  slightly  advanc- 
ing tendency,  owing  to  the  higher  prices  which  must  be  obtained  for 
new  tobacco. 

The  Havana  market  has  been  about  normal  and  moderate  sized  pur- 
chases are  being  made.  Importers  are  somewhat  cheered  up  over  the 
fact  that  there  have  recently  been  rains  in  Cuba,  and  which  were  much 
needed  for  the  efficient  handling  of  new  packings. 

Lancaster. 

THE  leaf  market  is  still  in  a  comatose  state;  purchases  have  not 
only  been  few,  but  small  in  quantity.  In  view  of  the  general 
dullness  in  market  conditions  for  old  goods  packers  are  still 
directing  their  attention  largely  to  the  buying  and  handling  of  new 
goods.  The  buying  activity,  however,  has  decreased  very  materially 
recently.  It  would  appear  that  local  packers  are  experiencing  a  short- 
age in  help,  with  the  result  that  operations  of  several  of  the  larger 
warehouses  are  falling  behind.  In  the  first  place,  the  packing  season 
was  late  in  beginning  and  many  men  who  find  employment  in  ware- 
houses during  the  winter  period  were  this  year  compelled  to  seek  work 
elsewhere,  with  the  result  that  packers  now  find  themselves  greatly 
handicapped.  It  is  this  fact  that  is  advanced  as  one  of  the  principal 
reasons  why  the  buying  movement  is  not  progressing  more  actively  at 

the  present  time. 

The  tactics  pursued  by  the  buyers  this  year  have  been  very  different 
from  former  seasons.  They  have  done  a  great  deal  more  driving  and 
made  their  selections  with  much  greater  care,  and  perhaps   fewer  of 


them  per  day  than  ever  before.  It  was  not  an  uncommon  thing  in 
former  years  to  lind  a  buyer  entering  a  certain  section  and  practically 
clean  it  up,  whereas  this  year  they  are  picking  out  crops  here  and 
there  and  covering  a  much  wider  range  of  territory.  It  also  seems 
that  during  the  past  week  there  were  some  purchases  made  at  as  low 
as  seven  cents  per  pound.  Crops  which  now  command  a  higher  figure 
must  be  very  good.  It  is  estimated  that  about  three-fourths  of  the 
J 909  crops  have  now  been  contracted  for. 

William  SPORT. 
It  is  reported  here  that  the  tobacco  crops  in  Lycoming  County  arc 
now  virtually  all  purchased.  It  seems  that  the  tobacco  raising  industry 
in  this  .section  has  been  increasing  some  during  the  recent  years,  not- 
withstaruling  that  their  crops  were  also  affected,  a  fair  sized  crop 
from  Lycoming  County  at  prices  ranging  from  eight  and  one-half  cents 
upward.  It  is  estimated  that  practically  the  entire  crops  of  both  Clin- 
ton and  Lycoming  Counties  have  been  purchased  by  packing  interests. 

WISCONSIN. 

E1X.ERT0N. 

LIKP'  reports  that  are  being  received  from  otficr  centers,  the  condi- 
tions of  the  leaf  trade  are  also  lethargic.  The  volume  of  busi- 
ness in  old  goods  has  been  comparatively  small,  and  prices,  if 
anything,  seem  to  have  receded  from  former  figures.  The  only  activity 
that  the  market  has  seen  is  in  the  buying  of  last  season's  crop  and  which 
has  been  going  steadily  on.  Prices,  however,  have  been  mostly  around 
the  seven-cent  mark,  with  perhaps  an  occasional  slight  advance  for 
exceptionally  fine  crops.  Recently  a  sale  of  a  carload  of  '07  tobacco 
was  consummated  and  the  goods  shipped  to  an  Eastern  jobber. 

Work  at  the  local  warehouses  is  progressing  very  nicely  consid- 
ering that  there  are(>nly  limited  forces  of  help  obtainable,  and  in 
consequence  the  packing  season  will  necessarily  have  to  continue  for 
a  much  longer  period  than  usual.  The  new  plant  beds  which  have  been 
set  out  have  not  progressed  very  well  lately  because  of  cold  rains 
and  occasional  frosts.  It  is  thought,  however,  that  no  large  amount 
of  real  damage  has  been  done. 

ViROQUA. 

The  unseasonably  cool  weather  has  retarded  the  progress  of  han- 
dling tobacco.  Local  packers  are  growing  somewhat  impetuous  over  the 
delay  in  receiving  and  delivery,  and  some  have  even  threatened  the 
closing  of  their  warehouses.  As  a  result,  some  farmers  have  felt  har- 
assed and  resorted  to  all  manner  of  means  to  bring  their  crops  into  case 
and  for  that  purpose  they  have  used  exhaust  steam,  which  in  several 
instances  worked  admirably.  There  is  also  a  scarcity  of  help  com- 
plained of.  Plant  beds  have  been  laid  in  some  sections  of  the  county, 
while  a  number  of  other  growers  have  been  waiting  and  hoping  for 
warmer  and  more  favorable  weather. 

OHIO. 

MlAMISBURG. 

WEATHER  conditions  are  gradually  becoming  more  favorable, 
although  the  cool  spell  was  quite  protracted.  The  recent  warm 
spell  has  been  helpful  in  enabling  a  more  rapid  delivery  of 
old  goods  to  warehouses,  and  crops  now  remaining  in  farmers'  hands 
have  been  very  materially  reduced.  Of  Zimmer  Spanish  it  is  said  very 
little  remains  in  first  hands. 

Arcanum. 

The  remnants  of  Zimmer  Spanish  tobacco  remaining  in  farmers' 
hands  are  being  cleaned  up  at  from  six  to  eight  cents.  It  is  stated  that 
there  are  still  some  farmers  who  are  still  obdurate  and  will  not  accept 
these  prices.  In  most  instances  they  are  being  left  to  hold  their 
tobacco. 

Eaton. 

Eight  cents  a  pound  seems  to  be  the  prevailing  price  that  is  being 
offered  for  1909  crops  of  tobacco  grown  in  this  territory.  It  seems, 
however,  that  in  view  of  the  fact  that  these  prices  are  not  quite  as 
much  as  farmers  had  realized  during  recent  years,  growers  are  a  little 
reluctant  to  let  their  crops  go.  Tobacco  men,  however,  are  confident 
that  they  will  not  be  able  to  pay  a  higher  figure  even  later  on,  and 
unless  they  get  the  goods  at  these  figures  they  are  simply  allowing 
them  to  remain  in  the  farmers'  hands. 

NEW  ENGLAND. 

Hartford,  Conn. 

A  LITTLE  more  activity  has  been  displayed  in  the  tobacco  market 
recently.  Not  only  have  more  buyers  put  in  an  appearance,  but 
a  considerably  greater  number  of  purchases  are  reported.  Prices 
arc  more  stable,  but  the  scale  is  lower  than  it  was  at  the  outset.  The 
concensus  of  opinion  is  that  farmers  who  were  holding  their  tobacco

for  higher  prices  have  made  an  irretrievable  mistake.  There  is  some 
broad  leaf  unsold,  for  some  of  which  as  high  as  22  cents  is  being 
offered,  and  the  Havana  seed  variety  is  practically  out  of  growers' 
hands. 

Tariffville,  Conn. 

Tobacco  growers  are  no  longer  concerning  themeslves  so  much 
over  their  1909  crops  as  they  are  of  the  early  or  preliminary  prepara- 
tion for  the  planting  season.  .Xt  the  present  time  seed  beds  are  being 
sterilized,  and  they  have  been  much  favored  with  better  weather  during 
the  past  week  or  so.  There  are  indications  that  of  the  Havana  seed 
there  will  be  about  the  same  acreage  this  year  as  last,  and  that  larger 
acreage  of  broad  leaf  may  be  planted  this  year.  Eully  400  acres  of 
tobacco  will  be  grown  under  shade  this  year  in  this  valley. 


Connecticut  Valley  Trade  Notes. 

Minsdale,  Smith  &  Co.  arc  this  year  going  more  extensively 
into  the  priming  method,  and  II.  J.  Judson,  a  local  buyer  for 
this  house,  is  having  his  sheds  fitted  for  the  priming  of  his 
crops  this  year.  It  is  stated  that  some  growers  last  year  had 
an  adverse  experience  by  this  metluMl. 

It  is  stated  that  more  tobacco  sheds  are  to  go  up  in  Cilas- 
tonbury  this  season  than  for  .some  seasons  pa.st.  some  of  these 
buildings  to  cost  in  the  neighborhood  of  a  thousand  dollars. 

Several  tobacco  growers  of  the  Wapping  district  had  pe- 
culiar and  disastrous  experiences  recently  in  tobacco  trans- 
actions. One  grower  sold  his  tobacco,  receiving  a  de^x^sit  of 
$500;  at  the  same  time  he  gave  his  note  for  a  like  amount. 
Some  time  later  on  the  buyer  declared  that  he  did  not  want 
the  tobacco,  and  subsecpiently  the  grower  was  obliged  to  hand 
over  the  $500  to  redeem  his  tiote  and  the  deal  was  off.  An- 
other grower  has  involved  himself  in  a  heap  of  trouble  by  sell- 
ing his  tobacco,  receiving  money  and  contract.  Later  the  gocxls 
were  turned  down  by  the  buyer,  who  received  back  his  money, 
and  the  contract  was  void.  On  the  same  day  this  same  grower 
sold  his  tobacco  to  another  party  at  a  still  lower  figure  than 


Boom  Lexington  as  Tobacco  Centre. 

E.  T.  Robards,  Supervisor  of  Sales  of  the  Lexington 
LfK>se  r.eaf  Tobacco  Market,  in  a  recent  interview  spoke  en- 
thusiastically over  Lexington's  future  as  a  tobacco  centre.  lie 
said  that  Lexington  has  grown  to  such  an  extent  that  it  is  the 
most  important  distributing  point  in  Kentucky.  Lexington  is 
the  centre  of  the  entire  Burley  growing  section  of  the  State 
and  nearby  there  are  grown  75,000,000  pounds  of  tobacco.  So 
far  this  year  nearly  21,000,000  pounds  of  this  amount  have 
been  sold,  the  proceeds  of  which,  distributed  among  the  farm- 
ers, warehousemen  and  redryers,  amount  to  $3,000,000. 

Continuing,  Mr.  Robards  said: 

"There  has  Ijeen  expended  in  permanent  improvements, 
and  equipments  for  the  handling  of  tobacco  more  than  $750,000 
and  there  is  a  pay  roll  of  1,000  employees,  whose  weekly  wages 
average  from  $10,000  to  $15,000.  This  market  has  already  es- 
tablished a  stability  that  places  it  far  beyond  the  experimental 
period." 

"The  steady  uniformity  of  prices,"  Mr.  Robards  added, 
"has  done  much  to  establish  the  Lexington  market.  From  the 
beginning  to  the  close  of  the  market,  the  weekly  and  monthly 
averages  would  show  that  there  has  scarcely  been  a  variation 
of  fifty  cents  per  100  each  week  in  the  market  price,  and  that, 
too,  in  the  face  of  the  high  prices  at  which  this  market  opened. 

"Another  evidence  that  this  market  has  attained  a  magni- 
tude of  importance  in  the  estimation  of  the  trade  is  the  fact 
that  it  is  visited  by  such  representative  men  as  Hugh  Camp- 
bell, president  of  the  United  States  Tobacco  Company,  of 
Richmond,  Va. ;  Mr.  Reynolds,  of  the  R.  J.  Reynolds  Tobacco 
Company.  Winston-Salem,  N.  C. ;  Mr.  Patterson,  of  R.  A.  Pat- 
terson Tobacco  Company,  Richmond,  Va. ;  and  R.  K.  Smith, 
manager  leaf  department  of  the  .American  Tobacco  Company, 
New  York,  all  of  whom  have  paid  it  this  compliment."

A  monthly  meeting  of  the  Hartford  County  Tobacco 
(irowers'  Association  was  attempted  to  be  held  recently  on  a 
Monday  tlight,  but  was  adjourned  sine  die.  It  apjH'ars  that 
general  interest  in  the  association  was  extinct.  Notices  for 
the  meeting  were  sent  out  a  month  before  it  was  to  take  place, 
but  Ujxui  that  instance  an  adjournment  was  necessary,  as  there 
was  no  ((uorum.  Ironclad  resolutions  do  not  seem  to  be  favor- 
ably regarded  by  many  of  the  tobacco  growers  of  Coiniecticut 
and  they  would  seem  to  have  feared  the  promulgation  of  such 
actitni  if  thev  had  attended  the  pn^posed  meeting. 


Badger  State  Items. 

Carl  W.  Wobbe.  of  Rose  ^Wobbe.  New  York  leaf  tobacco 
dealers,  recently  spent  several  «lays  in  various  leaf  centers  t)f 
Wisconsin. 

M.  H.  P»ekkedal.  of  Westby,  Wis.,  has  purchased  the  large 
tobacco  warehouse  built  by  the  Northern  Wisconsin  Leaf  To- 
bacco Company,  at  La  Crosse.  The  company  will  retire  from 
business.  This  makes  the  seventh  warehouse  which  this  packer 
will  operate  in  the  \  ernon  and  Crawford  Comity  districts. 

The  Edgerton  warehouse  of  the  LTnited  Cigar  Manufac- 
turers Company  has  been  closed  after  a  continuous  run  of  fif- 
teen weeks,  during  which  time  a  large  force  of  help  was  em- 
ployed and  about  $20,000  paid  out  in  wages. 

The  American  Cigar  Company  has  closed  the  sorting  room 
of  its  warehouse  at  Edgerton. 

After  spending  some  time  in  Wisconsin.  Fritz  f.ederer. 
connected  with  the  exporting  firm  of  Heinrich  Neuberger.  has 
returned  to  New  York  recently. 


Sow  Grass  to  Kill  Tobacco. 

A  new  phase  of  total  depravity,  in  addition  to  that  of  night 
riding,  barn  burning  and  such  crimes,  has  evinced  itself  in  the 
Kentucky  tobacco  regions  in  the  sowing  of  gras>  see«l  in  the 
tobacco  plant  beds  to  their  niin.  So  detrimetital  is  such  a  mix- 
ture of  grass  seed  and  tobacco  that  the  State  is  otTering  a  re- 
ward of  $200  each  for  the  arrest  of  the  miscreants  engaged  in 
this  dastardly  business. 


New  Orleans  has  been  visited  lately  by  A.  .Andrews,  pres- 
ident of  the  Tobacco  Workers'  International  I'nion.  Several 
other  labor  leaders  happened  in  New  Orleans  about  the  same 
time.  There  is  no  complaint,  so  far  as  known,  of  anything 
wrong  in  labor  circles,  but  McAndrews  and  others  were  travel- 
ing around  generally  to  keep  things  stimulated.  They  seem  to 
have  gone  thoroughly  through  the  vari(nis  branches  at  New 
Orleans. 


E.  V.  D.  Paul,  one  time  president  of  the  Universal  Tobacco 
Company,  of  New  York  City,  and  who  ([uit  the  weed  in  order 
to  begin  ranch  life  in  the  West,  has  been  in  New  York  the  past 
month  meeting  his  old  friends.  Mr.  Paul  says  he  would  not  ex- 
change his  400  acres  in  Mendocino  County,  Cal.,  f<>r  the  biggest 
skyscraper  in  New  York  unless,  forsooth,  he  could  sell  the  sky- 
scraper right  away  and  buy  a  bigger  ranch  with  it. 


The  Ditmars  Anti-Tobacco  bill  as  finally  passed  by  the 
Ohio  Senate,  forbids  the  sale  of  tobacco  in  any  form  to  minors 
under  the  age  of  eighteen  years.  As  originally  i)asscd  in  tin- 
House,  the  age  limit  was  fixed  at  twenty-one.  h'ines  ranging 
from  $50  to  $200  are  provided.  As  the  bill  is  very  hx.selv 
drawn  and  has  many  loopholes,  the  tobacco  dealers  do  not 
think  it  will  stand  a  test  in  the  courts.

Suit  Over  Shrinkage  of  Burley. 

Suit  to  recover  $cXk>.35  for  the  alleged  loss  from  shrink- 
age on  tobacco  has  been  brought  in  the  Circuit  Court  of 
Louisville,  Ky.,  by  the  People's  Tobacco  Company,  of  New 
Orleans,  La.,  against  the  Hurley  Tobacco  Society.  The  plain- 
tiff avers  that  the  losses  were  on  shipments  made  in  December, 
i<X>8.  and  January  and  la'bruary,  1909.  According  to  the  peti- 
tion, incorrect  weights  were  recorded  on  the  bills  of  lading,  so 
that  when  the  tobacco  was  received  the  weight  was  less  than 
the  weight  of  the  tobacco  which  was  purchased  by  the  Louis- 
iana company. 


Maryland  growers  are  chagrined  on  account  of  the  refusal 
of  Governor  Crothers  to  approve  the  $2,500  appropriation  for 
the  State  Tol)acco  Growers'  Association.  The  bill  was  de- 
signed especially  to  advertise  tobacco  growing,  and,  it  is  con- 
tended, would  have  tended  to  bring  in  considerable  revenue  to 
the  State  treasury.

Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  cunrent  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD*S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 

The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 

tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach  them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 

Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ?  Send  for  advertising  rates.

Q  The  bidding  system  on  a  product  like  printing,  which  is  yet  to  be  made  and

achieved  by  dealing  with  a  reliable  firm,  well  known  for  its  fair  prices,  and

Mr.  Dealer :  Whittle  Cut  Tobacco  is  being  advertised 
all  over  the  United  States.  Will  you  not  supply  the  de- 
mand we  thus  create.  Write  us  today  and  we  will  put 
you  in  touch  with  the  distributor  in  your  district. 

FRISMUTH  BRO.  &  CO.,  Inc.

THE  QUALITY 
OF  SAVARONA  CIGARS 


We  have  many  strong  and  convincing 
points  that  we  could  bring  out  about 
our  SAVARON AS,  such  as  : 


Tropical  Climate  and  Soil  like 

Cuba 
Plantations  in  the  Best  Districts 

of  Porto  Rico 
High  Grade  Tobacco 


Our  Own  Modern  Factories 
Highly    Skilled    Labor    and 

Efficient  Management 
No  Duty  to  Pay  on  the  Cigars 
More  Profit  to  the  Dealer  and 
Jobber 


In  all  these  points  we  have  marked  superiority. 
The  point  we  want  to  emphasize  how- 
ever is  the  Quality.  Pass  over  all  the 
above  arguments,  but  try  the  smoking  quality  of 
SAVARON  AS  with  any  other  cigar.  Smoke 
them  together,  or  one  after  the  other,  compare 
them  in  any  way  you  like  with  an  unbiased  mind, 
and  you  will  find  the  quality  is  there. 

The  Smoking  Test  is  the  Only  One.       We  will  be  glad  to 
send  samples  to  any  Jobber  to  test.

THE  QUALITY 
OF  SAVARONA  CIGARS 


We  have  many  strong  and  convincing 
points  that  we  could  bring  out  about 
our  SAVARON AS,  such  as : 


Tropical  Climate  and  Soil  like 

Cuba 
Plantations  in  the  Best  Districts 

of  Porto  Rico 
High  Grade  Tobacco 


Our  Own  Modem  Factories 
Hu^ly    Skilled    Labor   and 

Efficient  Management 
No  Duty  to  Pay  on  the  Cigars 
More  Profit  to  the  Dealer  and 
Jobber 

In  all  these  points  we  have  marked  superiority. 
The  point  we  want  to  emphasize  how- 
ever is  the  Quality.  Pass  over  all  the 
above  arguments,  but  try  the  smoking  quality  of 
SAVARONAS  with  any  other  cigar.  Smoke 
them  together,  or  one  after  the  other,  compare 
them  in  any  way  you  like  with  an  unbiased  mind, 
and  you  will  find  the  quality  is  there. 

The  Smoking  Test  is  the  Only  One.       We  will  be  glad  to 
send  samples  to  any  Jobber  to  test.

PHILADELPHIA  AND  NEW  YORK,  MAY  15,   1910. 


No.  10. 


New  Manila  Regulations  now  in  Force. 
Internal  Revenue  Bureau  Co-operates  with  Exporters  to  Raise 

Standard  of  Goods. 

Special  Cable  to   Ihk   Tohaico  Woki.n. 

Manila.  May  13th. 

STTI  X  ACCC)Rr)AXCK  with  the  plans  agreed  upon  by  the 
S^*^  tobacco  interests,  the  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue 
^ij^ffy  for  the  IMiilippine  Islands  has  put  into  force  rej^ula- 
tions  atfectinjij  the  shipments  of  Philippine  cigars  to 
the  I'nitcd  States.  These  regulations,  as  forecasted  in  recent 
dispatches  to  Tni-.  T(»ha((o  Worid,  are  meant  to  raise  the 
standanl  of  (juality  on  all  grades  expitrted  to  the  States  and 
thereby  overcome  the  prejudice  tliat  has  arisen  in  some  (|uar- 
ters  against  .Manila  products. 

The  Internal  Revenue  Department  has  ac(|uiesced  with 
the.  demands  of  the  Manila  Tobacco  Association  that  all  ship- 
ments must  contain  the  following  ratios:  Not  less  than  35/o 
high  grade;  mediums  from  50  to  (yo[( ,  and  low  grades  15%. 


Lane's  Schedules  Filed. 

X  Monday  last  Robert  K.  Lane's  schedules  in  bank- 
ruptcy were  completed  and  tiled  with  the  courts,  and 
the  results  of  the  inventory  show  debts  amounting  to 
$38,(/)2.24.  exclusive  of  a  claim  of  $2,760  owing  the 
Metropolitan  l»ank  and  a  claim  of  $3,200  due  15.  Wasserman 
&  Co.,  both  of  which  are  fully  secured.  The  assets  are  figured 
at  $31,850,  but  the  amount  they  will  really  net  is  problemati- 
cal, as  stocks,  fixtures  and  bad  debts  are  the  principal  com- 
l>onents.  There  are  twenty-five  creditors  with  accounts  over 
S50.  among  the  largest  of  which  are  the  Cifuentes,  Ferdinan- 
dez  y  Ca.,  $8,012.42;  (larcia  Panda  &  Co.,  $5,106.80;  Park  & 
Tilford,  $5,029,29;  M.  S.  Arms  y  Ca.,  $3,184.85;  .Metroi)olitan 
Tobacco  Company.  S3.008.71  ;  I>road  I'^xchange  Comj)any, 
$2,375;  Clarence  H.  Kelsey.  $2,333.32;  I'nited  States  Realty 
Company,  $1,000,  and  tlie  Montauk  Cigar  Company,  $1,011.42. 
It  is  lioi)e(l  that  bv  careful  management   the  estate   will   pay 

25%. 

Mr.  Lane  is  anxious  to  resume  business  and  his  attorney, 

M,  S.  Schector,  34  Pine  street,  .\ew  York,  has  been  busy  dur- 
ing the  past  week  visiting  his  creditors  with  a  composition 
offer  of  settlement,  and  he  has  met  with  such  success  that  Mr. 
Lane  hopes  to  be  able  to  resume  shortly  and  continue  business 
at  the  stores  at  in   Broadway,  20  Ilroad  street  and  25  liroad 

street. 

The  offer  proposed  by  .Mr.  Lane  is  to  pay  75^^  eventually  ; 
15%  in  cash  forthwith  and  ()0'/o  in  notes  running  six,  nine  and 
twelve  months  after  the  date  of  settlement. 

The  Lane  store  at  16  Wall  street  has  been  entirely  closed 
out,  and  the  building  in  which  it  was  so  long  located  is  now 
being  torn  down. 

Straw  Hat  Free  with  Box  of  Cigars. 

MiLWAiKKK.  Wi.sc-..  .May  12th.— A  timely  stroke  of  adver- 
tising was  made  by  the  Abraham  Cigar  Stores  last  Saturday, 
when  a  straw  hat  was  given  away  with  every  purchase  of  a  box 
of  "X'ictor  Herbert"  cigars,  of  jeitles  &  P>lumenthal.  Philadel- 
phia. Cnfortunately.  the  weather  was  a  bit  cool  and  few  of 
the  purchasers  wore  their  gifts. 


Prices  of  Cigarettes  Advance. 

Scarcity  and  High  Cost  of  Turkish  Tobacco  Forces  a  Rise 
in  American  Made  Goods. 


Gh'XFRAL  advances  in  the  prices  of  cigarettes  are  pre- 
dicted as  the  result  of  the  rising  cost  of  Turkish  to- 
bacco, as  well  as  other  trade  condition^.  In  tact, 
some  of  the  manufacturers  have  alreatly  sent  i>ut 
new  lists,  which  show  a  reduction  in  discounts  over  the  a«l- 
vances  in  the  last  prices. 

'The  latest  reports  from  Turkey,  as  eml)o<lie<l  in  a  letter 
from  TiiK  ToisAi  ro  WOki.d's  corres|)ondent  at  Cavalla,  state 
that  Turkish  tobacco  is  high  and  scarce  and  that  growers  are 
demanding  advances  averaging  in  jirice  from  50  to  itx)''r,  and 
even  at  those  figure>  they  are  holding  out  for  higher  prices. 

Taking  effect  .May  jnd.  the  American  Tobacco  Com|)any 
advanced  the  list  prices  on  '*Pall  .Mali"  cigarettes,  regular 
size,  cork-tipped,  any  style  packing,  to  $I9.(X)  a  thousand,  less 
the  usual  discount.  The  new  price  is  50  cents  higlur  tlian  the 
last  (|Uotation.  Other  grades  of  cigarettes  are  advanced  pro- 
I)ortionateIy. 

The  rumor  current  in  Xew  York  thi->  week  that  Stei)hano 
I'rothers,  Philadelphia  cigarette  manufacturers,  had  reducetl 
their  discount,  was  denied  by  Constantine  Stej)hano.  of  the 
firm.  Mr.  Stei)hano,  admitted,  however,  that  a<lvance>  were 
contemplated  and  would  be  necessary  if  there  were  no  breaks 
in  the  present  high  prices  in  'Turkey. 

Other  manufacturers,  including  I*'.  .\.  Condax  tS:  Co.,  of 
.Xew  York,  it  is  reported,  will  s(»on  announce  a<lvances. 


New  Tobacco  Stemming  Machine  Co.  Incorporates. 
IIT^  Xational  Tobacco  Steniuiing  C  .»..  with  head«|uar- 
ters  at  Baltimore,  .Md.,  have  incorporated  with  a  Dela- 
ware charter  at  \\ilmingt«)n  on  .May  ()lh.  'The  new 
concern  has  an  authorized  cai)ital  stock  of  $5(X),ooo, 
and  is  organized  to  make  and  <leal  in  tobacco  stemming  ma- 
chines. 

The  limited  outjnit  of  stemming  machines  in  the  Cniteil 
States  could  well  be  augmented  with  i)rofil  in  consideration  of 
the  difficulties  which  tobacco  manufacturers  have  exjjerienced 
in  recent  weeks  with  arbitrary  demands  from  help  for  higher 
wages  when  trade  conditions  utterly  faile<l  to  justify  them. 


Burlington,  Vt,  Jobbers  Incorporate. 

The  vvlu)lesale  cigar  and  tobacco  house  of  C.  L.  Soule  <S: 
Co.,  who  have  been  in  business  for  some  years  at  Burlington. 
\'t.,  have  transferred  their  business  to  a  close  corporation  and 
will  continue  business  under  tlie  old  firm  title.  The  corpora- 
tion has  an  authorized  cai)ital  stock  of  $4(),(xx).  and  those  inter- 
ested are  Tlorence  M.  Soule.  Raymond  .Soule  and  Stanley  F. 
Brownell.  The  Soule  Co.  do  an  extensive  business  in  Ver- 
mont and  the  adjacent  States. 


Hanover  Manufacturer  Bankrupt. 
A  petition  in  bankruptcy  has  beiii  filed  by  I",  j.  .Smeringer. 
of  Hanover.  Pa.  'The  scheflule  of  liabilities  places  the  amount 
of  indebtedness  at  $41,143.25  an<l  the  assets  at  ^2<}.nj-,.jH.  It 
is  believed  that  a  settlement  will  be  efi'ecte<l  an<l  that  .Siiccringer 
will  resume  business.

Although  rain-laden  clouds  overhung  the  skies,  large  num- 
bers of  leaf  tohacc«)  men  from  all  over  the  country  gathered 
on  the  first  day  in  Lutnam  I'lialanx  llall. 

This  building,  which  is  among  the  most  historic  landmarks 
in  Hartford,  was  gayly  decorate<l  in  National  and  city  colors. 
(  )nce  the  scene  of  active  j)reparation  for  warfare,  this  structure 
to-day  was  the  abode  of  peace  and  good-will. 

True,  New  l-'ngland  hospitality  was  dominant  everywhere 
and  that  spirit  prevaile«l  throughout  the  proceedings. 

.\  steady  influx  of  delegates  from  early  on  Sunday  morn- 
ing continued  throughout  the  day.  the  vanguard  being  headed 
by  Julius  \  etterlein,  of  riiiladelphia.  Some  delegates  made  no 
etTort  to  reach  the  convention  city  before  Monday.  They  were 
the  exce|)tions.  Ihit  among  these  were  some  of  the  New  York 
delegates  and  also  .\.  II.  Kee<ler.  of  Dayton,  who  arrived 
shortly  after  the  opening  of  the  tlrst  business  session  and 
(|uietly  joined  the  happy  throng  already  gathered. 

MoNP.w's  Sk.ssion. 

The  opening  session  was  called  to  order  at  lo.^o  on  Mon- 
day morning  with  |«)se|)h  V.  Cullman,  Jr.,  in  the  chair.  After 
formally  declaring  the  meeting  to  be  open  to  business,  he  intro- 
duce<l  r.cnjamin  L.  llaas.  president  of  the  Connecticut  Leaf 
Tobacco  ,\ss(K"iation,  who  said:

"On  behalf  of  myself  and  all  my  colleagues  I  extend  to 
you  our  Jieartiest  welcome.  'J'his  is  the  first  time  since  the 
formation  of  tliis  organization  that  Hartford  has  had  the  plea- 
sure of  entertaining  the  representatives  of  an  industry  which 
means  .so  much  to  us  all.  1  sincerely  hope  that  the  results  of 
this  meeting  will  go  down  into  tobacc(.  history  as  the  highest 
achievement  that  has  ever  been  attained  at  any  meeting. 

"Without  digressing.  I  want  to  say  that  we  are  already 
beginning  to  feel  the  beneficent  effect  of  having  a  convention 
in  our  city.  It  has  been  a  veritable  stimulator  of  membership." 
iVesident  Cullman  accepted  with  thanks  the  invitation  to 
participate  in  llartfonl's  ho.spitality.  after  which  the  regular 
business  was  taken  up. 

In  order  to  establish  the  rights  and  j)rivileges  of  all  dele-

PRESIDENT'S   ANNUAL   REPORT. 

The  Xational  Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco  Association  is  gathered  in 
its  Twelfth  .Annual  Convention.  I  doidit  whether  in  all  our  years 
of  growth  and  activity  so  many  vital  i^>ues  have  been  determined 
a<?  in  the  past  year.  To  go  into  details  of  our  activities,  in  connec- 
tion with  the  legislative  problems  that  we  were  forced  to  meet, 
would  necessitate  so  lengthy  a  report  to  you  that,  despite  their 
vital  interest,  I  feel  it  \V(^ul(l  be  both  tedious  and  unnecessary.  I 
know  that  you  have  all  shown  unusual  interest  in  these  matters, 
and  have  been  kept  vvt?|l  advised  of  the  work  of  our  ofTficcrs;  he- 
sides'  quite  a  few  of  you  have  taken  an  unusually  active  part  in 
the  work  of  our  -\ssociati(»ii.  and  have  maintaiiuMl  our  best  tradi- 
tion of  hearty  co-operation  and  absolute- dei)endcncc  on  our  mem- 
bership of  giving  us  unseirish  devotion.  This  is  the  spirit  that  h.is 
made  our  Association  stand  for  what  it  docs,  and  this  i>-  the  spirit 
that  must  continue. 

In  my  report  1  wish  to  point  out  to  you  the  bold  outlines  of 
the  situations  that  confronted  us  and  the  issues  we  were  forced  to 
take,  and  T  hope  you  will  ]»rirdon  me  if  at  times  I  seem  a  little 
didactic.  My  heart  and  soul  has  been  in  the  work,  and  I  tru<t  the 
suggestions  I  have  to  offer  may  be  received  in  the  same  sincere 
spirit  as  T  exercised  after  careful  thought  and  minute  attention 
in  arriving  at  them.

PHILIPPIXF  BILL. 

In  my  last  Annual  Report  I  gave  you  the  assurance  that  the 
efforts  of  yoiir  otficers  would  be  unremitting  to  obtain  every  pos- 
sible concession,  and  it  woidd  be  our  most  earnest  ende.ivor  to 
arrive  at  as  satisfactory  as  po^^ible  a  settlement  of  the  IMiilippine 
(piestion,  which  had  been  disturbing  us  for  the  past  si.\  years. 

\o  doubt  the  Philippine  I'ill  as  pa>sed  seems  unsatisfactory 
and  unnecessary  to  a  great  many  of  you.  However,  when  you  con- 
sider that  we  were  able  to  place  det'inite  limits  on  the  free  importa- 
tions of  leaf  and  cigars,  and  thus  were  placed  in  a  position  where, 
at  least  as  long  as  the  tenure  of  the  present  administration,  the 
uncertainty  of  a  greater  po>sibIe  injury  to  our  industry  was  re- 
moved, the  bill  as  passed  is  not  an  unmitigated  evil.  We  have 
guarded  against  further  <lemor.iIi/ation  than  that  which  cert.iin 
ti.xed  (|uantities  of  leaf  ;ind  cigars  will  subject  us  to.  Wc  have 
placed  delinite  limits  on  the  possible  free  entries,  and  thus  eradi- 
cated the  menace  of  abnormally  stimualting  pro<luction  in  the 
Islands  at  our  e-\pen>e.  .\lmo?>t  as  unnecessary  as  our  concessions 
to  the  Philippines  arc  from  the  viewpoint  of  encouraging  an  already 
well  establi>he<l  .'ind  lie.ilthy  growing  industry  in  the  Isl.ind.  so 
needless  are  our  Don  Oiiixotic  ft-ars  of  the  injuries  we  can  sustain 
from  tJiis  source.  Ridiculous  as  the  argument  is  that  free  admission 
of  150.000,000  cigars  is  a  healthy  stimulus  to  an  industry  with  a 
production  approximating  only  220.000,000.  just  so  ridiculous  is  the 
argument  that  these  150,000,000  cigars  admitted  free  can  demoralize 
our  industry  with  an  approximate  eight  billion  production. 

The  simultaneous  passage  of  a  taritT  bill  for  the  Philippine 
Islands  with  identical  schedules  of  import  duties  f>n  tobacco  as 
provided  in  the  Payne  P.ill  is  an  earnest  of  the  care  and  forethought 
of  your  ofl'ieers  in  a  most  delicate  situation. 

We  must  look  \\\nm  the  Philippine  Bill  as  a  contribution  frc»m 
our  industry  to  the  pet  charity  of  our  executive.  As  long  as  wc 
had  to  give,  why  not  give  gracefully  and  comfort  ourselves  with 
the  kiu>wledge  that  our  annu.il  contribution  cannot  be  increased. 

Making  mountains  out  of  nn»le  hills  has  done  more  to  adver- 
tise and  introduce  the  Philippine  ])ro(luct  than  anything  else.  The 
origin  of  the  so-calleil  Ciovernment  (iuarantee  Stamp  can  be  directly 
tr.iced  to  an  entirely  unnecessary  and  undiplomatic  attack  on  man- 
ufacturing conditions  in  the  Philippines  by  a  member  of  Congress. 
A'our  otlicers  carefully  investigated  the  possible  courses  of  acti'Ui 
regarding  this  Stamp,  and  ascertained  that  the  only  legal  objection 
th.jt  coiild  possibly  he  sustainerl  against  it  was  that  it  conveyed 
an  erroneous  impression  rather  in  the  lettering  than  in  the  text 
itself.  I  am  gla<l  to  report  that  the  Cigar  Manufacturers'  .Associa- 
tion has  taken  this  up  with  the  proper  authorities  and  ol)tained  the 
necessary  modifications.  It  is  pos-sible  for  our  cigar  manufacturers 
to  obtain  a  similar  stamp  by  appeal  to  the  proper  authorities,  but

On  July  4,   19(H>.  at  7.40  i>.   .\I..  hy   telephone,  our  Washington

M.  t'.  $.V(.0.  ami  that  the  only  possihle  opportunity  for  a  hearing 
would  he  the  next  morning  at  11  ..Vhuk.  It  was  indeed  a  critical 
situation;  hut  as  ever  in  the  past,  among  our  niemhership  were 
men  ready  ami  willing  to  give  you  their  l.est  service,  men  with 
ahih  y  ami  acumen  who  at  a  nionunt's  notice,  in  the  mi.lst  of  a

when  I  say  that  no  greater  service  has  ever  heen  given  our  Associa

mgt«m  on  July  Mh  and  with  unanswerable  argument  defeated  the 
proposed  increase. 

It  was  characteristic  of  the  constant   vigilance  and  devoted  in- 
trist  of  our    Washingtcm    representative   that   we   were   ahle   to  he 
.resent.     No  small  anu.unt   ot  credit  is  due  him.  for  ha.l  we  ha<l  a

certain  that,  if  the  mcrea.sc  had  been  fav.rably  reported  from  Com- 
mittee. It  w<.uhl  have  sto.ul:  for  th-.se  were  days  when  ..ur  govern- 
ment  seemed   m    sore   need   indeed   of  additional   revenue      The   in- 
crease <.f  two  cents  a  pound  on  tobacco  products  sustains  my  i.oint

We  are  gathereil  in  our  Twelfth  Annual  Convention  here  at 
larttr.rd.  and  it  I)eh..oves  us  to  carefully  analvze  the  situati<.n  that 
has  arisen,  determine  by  retrospect  where  our  action  and  procedure 
has  been  wrong,  and,  with  the  utnioM  caution  and  wisdom,  evolve 
a  determined  plan  ot  pr.Kedure  which  will  enable  Us  when  an..ther 
taritf  revision  c<mfronts  Us  to  have  such  a  law  enacted  as  will  be 
lor  the  r.est  interesi  of  ,,nr  entire  industry.  1  (i<.  not  helieve  the 
day  IS  far  distant  when  the  I'ayne-Aldrich  I'.ill  will  be  superseiled 
by  a  law  which  is  in  greater  harmony  with  the  general  tariff  de- 
mands oi  our  country,  .\gainst  that  day  I  pray  vou  to  give  your 
earnest  thought.  ' 

To  my  mind,  the  National  Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco  Association 
should  vigorously  enter  a  campaign  of  education.  Actual  conditions 
and  undisputed  statistics  must  be  linked  together  in  an  adamant 
chain  of  irrefutable  evidence  and  widespread  publicity  given  the 
results,  so  that  our  entire  tobacco  family  marks  where  it  stands  and 
knows  which  road  leads  to  success. 

Make  the  tobacco  farmer  as  conversant  with  actual  conditions 
as  the  dealers  and  manufacturers  are.  I  believe  that,  by  untiring 
education,  we  can  gather  in  Washington  a  united  tobacco  industry 
with  a  determined  policy.  Let  us  not  let  a  moment  escape  us  Let 
our  action  be  present,  and  let  us  enter  our  publicity  campaign  with 
such  enthusiasm  as  will  make  a  radical  out  of  our  most  conserva- 
tive growers. 

it  is  essential  that  means  he  devised  to  increase  the  revenue  of 
our  .Association,  so  that  your  officers  will  not  be  embarrassed  as 
they  have  been  in  the  p.ist  by  lack  of  fumls.  A  substantial  surplus 
should  be  aciuu-ed  so  that  every  resource  for  the  welfare  of  our 
industry  can  be  utilized  in  the  event  of  future  legislative  action 
•Now  Is  the  time  to  accumulate  this  surplus.  We  cannot  wait  until' 
our  needs  are  pressing. 

I  wish  to  thank  you  for  your  kindly  advices  and  encouragement

ALLYN   HOUSE,  Hartford. 
Tobacco  Men's  Headquarters  During  Convention. 

ing  session  arose,  and  a  general  discussion  ensued  when  the 
ft)llovving  report,  as  printed  in  part,  was  rendered : 

We  have  considered  the  matter  of  re-rating  risks  throughout  the 
States  where  cigar  leaf  is  carried.  This  could  have  been  done  if  we  had 
heen  properly  supplied  with  funds  or  if  individuals  were  sufficiently 
intereste(l  to  have  their  buildings  inspected,  to  install  improvements 
and  appliances,  to  improve  the  risks,  wliich  cost  would  have  been  more 
than  rei)aid  out  of  the  saving  in  premiums. 

You  understand  that  it  takes  time  and  costs  money  to  properly 
prosecute  such  work.  Your  chairman  has  cheerfully  given  as  much 
time  from  liis  business  as  he  possibly  could  and  has  paid  all  the  ex- 
penses of  the  committee  for  the  past  two  years. 

We  have  continued  our  efforts  to  establish  a  better  feeling  and 
have  succeeded  in  impressing  many  insurance  officials  that  our  proposed 
methods  were  feasible  and  acceptable,  and  engaged  their  influence  to 
establish  them  and  to  secure  better  rates.  We  have  persistently  forced 
interviews  and  committee  meetings.  Several  times  we  have  been  san- 
guine of  success,  only  to  he  overruled  by  stubborn  opposition. 

The  work  of  our  committee  has  resulted  in  creating  a  better  feeling 
and  understanding  on  the  part  of  the  companies;  also  between  them  and 
the  assured,  resulting  in  the  lowering  of  rates,  of  more  satisfactory 
adjustment  of  losses,  and  a  greater  respect  for  the  trade,  but  the  cam- 
paign of  education  must  be  carried  on;  it  has  outgrown  the  possibilities 
of  your  committee  and  has,  to  a  great  extent,  interfered  with  the 
prosecution  of  their  personal  business. 

The  schedule  hereto  annexed  (by  no  means  complete)  shows  exist- 
ing rates  to  be  from  50  cents  to  $2.30  per  annum  for  $100.  Basic  rates 
from  5  cents  to  30  cents.  Specific  rates  on  imported  tobacco  frf)m  20 
cents  to  $1.  and  on  domestic  tobacco  from  30  cents  to  80  cents.  In 
one  city  the  specific  rate  on  imported  tobacco  is  lO  cents  less  than  on 
domestic  leaf,  and  in  another  city  it  is  20  cents  more. 

Recent  revelations  and  proposed  investigations  afford  an  oppor- 
tunity to  place  before  the  commission  all  the  evidence  we  have  col- 
lected of  existing  cojiditions  and  methods,  which  we  feel  justified  in 
doing,  if  our  final  position  docs  not  receive  proper  consideration  by 
insurance  representatives. 

We  arc  impressed  that  this  association  should  be  prepared  to  take 
advantage  of  present  opportunities.  Your  committee  cannot  possibly 
give  all  the  time  necessary  to  properly  attend  to  this  important  matter. 

One  publication  says  that:  "Twenty  years  ago  in  1875.  Judge  Van 
Rrunt,  of  the  Supreme  Court,  decided  that  the  existing  combination  (the 
New  York  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters)  was  conducted  without  war- 
rant of  law."  and  that 

"The  present  combination  (the  New  York  Fire  Insurance  Ex- 
change) IS  doing  more  in  an  aggravated  form." 

Someone  will  ask:  "What  has  this  to  do  with  conditions  outside 
of  New  York?" 

It  has  this  to  do  with  your  interests:  The  same  companies  insure 
your  goods  elsewhere,  the  same  combination  has  been  and  will  continue 
to  he  extended,  many  of  the  same  methods  prevail  throughout  all  dis- 
tricts, location,  construction,  area,  exposure,  fire  extinguishing  facilities 
and  all  other  conditions  are  similarly  considered,  as  well  as  rates. 

It  is  a  mistaken  idea  that  if  we  insist  upon  fair,  proportional 
lower  rates,  that  the  companies  will  discriminate  against  us  in  loss  ad- 
justment. 

It  is  imperative  that  every  local  organization  and  individual  grow- 
ing, handling  and  manufacturing  cigar  leaf  shall  use  his  constant  and 
best  endeavor  to  co-operate  with  the  committee,  voluntarily  furnishing 
information  and  suggestions,  courteously  and  diplomatically  talking  to 
insurance  brokers,  managers  and  officers  of  the  companies,  creating  a 
spirit  of  mutual  confidence,  co-operation  and  good  feeling,  impressing 
them  of  our  good  will  and  intentions  to  give  and  exact  a  sfjuare  deal 
both  in  rates  and  adjustments. 

With  your  approval  and  proper  provision  we  will  recommend  that 
an  attorney,  or  cxncrienccd  person,  be  engaged  to  properly  present 
our  cause  before  the  Commission  in  New  York  State,  which  will  bring 


the  whole  matter  and  interests  of  every  location  to  the  attention  (tf  all 
the  insurance  companies  tloing  business  throught^ut  the   States. 

It  shall  l»e  the  privilege  of  all  indiviiluals  or  associations  atfiliate<I 
with  the  national  org.nu/ation.  or  iion  uunihers.  who  will  contribute 
towards  a  fund,  to  present  existing  facts  relative  to  their  specific 
locality  to  the  insurance  committee,  or  such  representative  who  shall  im- 
partially exercise  their  best  endeavors  for  tlie  benetit  of  all  concerned. 

William  Taussig,  of  C'hicago.  thought  the  action  slunild  be 
extended  throughout  the  I'nited  ."states. 

Julius  Lichteiistein.  of  New  \'«trk.  favoreil  giving  power 
to  the  chairman  of  the  committee  to  ,ict  and  provide  wavs  and 
means  to  carry  out  the  jiolicics  formulatetl.  but  Mr.  Taussig 
objected,  saying  he  did  not  deem  such  action  a<lvisable  at  this 
time.     The  motitni   failed  to  carry. 

The  formation  of  a  mutiKil  insurance  company  for  the 
members  of  the  association  was  proposed,  and  it  was  argued 
that  mutual  companies  were  probably  a  little  less  pert. 

L.  A.  Wheeler,  of  Troy.  ()..  favored  a  plan  to  establish 
a  nuitual  insurance  company,  but  the  proposition  was  referred 
to  the  Insurance  Committee. 

The  (luestion  was  finally  laid  on  the  table  for  later  dis- 
cussion. 

W.  J.  Lucaswitz,  of  Dayton,  moved  that  the  Insurance 
Committee  to  secure  members  of  local  l>oards  to  rejiort  to  the 
Committee  on  Insurance  Matters,  and  the  motion  was  adoj)ted. 

On  motion  of  John  R.  Young,  of  Philadelphia,  a  com- 
inittee  of  five  was  appointed  to  prepare  and  consider  resolu- 
tions to  be  presented,  and  the  following  committee  was  ap- 
pointed: John  R.  Young,  of  Philadelphia;  A.  P..  Hess.  Lan- 
caster, Pa.;  M.  C.  Miller,  Hartford;  Frank  Inksater,  Klmira, 
N.  Y.,  and  A.  W.  Gieske.  P*altimore. 

After  some  further  discussions  on  various  minor  inatters 
the  meeting  was  adjourned  at  noon. 

Tuesday's  Session. 

The  second  and  final  session  was  called  to  order  Tuesday 
morning.  At  this  time  the  Res(dution  Conunittee  announced 
that  it  was  prepared  to  report. 

On  behalf  of  Samuel  Grundy,  a  delegate  from  Janesville, 
Wis.,  a  resolution  was  presented  urging  the  association  to  take 
more  drastic  action  to  curb  the  efiect  of  encroaching  monop- 
olistic movements,  and  it  was  referred  to  the  Legislative  Com- 
mittee. 

A  communication  received  from  a  member  of  the  New 
York  Leaf  Tobacco  Board  of  Trade  was  read  which  supplied 
considerable  data. 

The  communication  was  begun  by  saying  that: 

"The  following  argument  is  a<lvisable  and  necessary  to  clearly  un- 
tlerstand  the  motion  and  object  of  the  motion  which  will  be  herewith 
submitted  for  consideration. 

"Attention  is  directed  to  differences  in   totals  of  cigars   manufac- 
tured and  numbers  of  licensed  cigar  manufacturers  at   beginning  and 
end  of  decade.  1898-1907.  and  is  compiled  irom  offici.il  statistics. 
7,302.02Q.Si  I  cigars  manufactured  in    uxij. 
4,458,836.f/'/)  cigars  manufacturecl  in   1898. 

2,843,102.845  cigars,  or  64%  increase. 

30.517  licensed  factories  in  1898. 
2,^,i^2  licensed  factories  in  1907. 

6.635  factories,  or  22%  decrease. 

"Were  number  of  licenses  issued  <luring  above  period  added  to 
existing  number  in  ifx>8  and  miml)er  in  uyoy  deducted  from  this  sum. 
both  total  and  percentage  f)f  decrease  would  be  even  greater. 

"1908  shows  a  further  decrease  of  1063  licensed  cigar  factories,  a 
decrease  of  near  5%  from  1907. 

"These  statistics  establish  the  fact  that,  though  no  other  manufac- 
tured article  in  the  world  has  more  numerous  or  diversified  places  for 
sale,  and  though  a  very  limited  capital  is  required  to  become  a  manu- 
facturer thereof,  still  the  number  of  cigar  manufacturers  is  rapidly 
decreasing  desjjite  a  constant  and  considerable  increase  in  cigar  pro- 
duction. 

"As  sui)i)liers  of  the  raw  materi.il  to  cigar  manufacturers,  we  are 
materially  concerned  and  affected  by  this  condition,  and  should  ascer- 
tain the  reasons:  then,  if  possible,  remedy  them. 

"It  is  not  inability  to  obtain  quantity  or  quality  of  raw  material, 
because  competitive  leaf  men  always  offer  such. 

"It  is  not  because  of  difference  in  costs  of  such  to  small  and  large 
manufacturers,   because    such    differences   have   ever   existed    and    the

Recognizing  the  necessity  for  the  accumulation  of  a  treasury

SIX  t«ir  a  term  ot   two  years. 

Part  II.  Xo  direct«»r  shall  be  eligible  to  serve  more  than  two

Part  111.  Directors  shall  be  appointed  fr..m  the  different  cities

the  ratio  of  ix.t  more  than  one  direct. .r  to  every  fifteen  members 
t»t   the  local  bo.ard. 

\\  .  L.  C  i-oitiise.  the  W  asiiin^ton  representative  of  the 
as.sociation.  was  retained  and  a  special  donation  of  ^^500  was 
granted  him  in  ai)preciation  of  his  .services. 

Resolutions  thanking  the  officers  of  the  association  atid 
the  lioard  of  Directors  for  their  fidelity  were  also  passed  and 
by  a  rising  vote,  thanks  were  extended' to  the  Hartford  Asso- 
ciation for  their  hospitality  during  the  convention. 

At  this  juncture  the  president  declared  that  the  nomination 
and  election  of  officers  was  in  order  and  called  for  nominations 
for  president. 

in  the  following  highly  eulogistic  speech  Mr.  Benjamin  L. 
Haas,  of  Hartford,  nominated  Joseph  F.  Cullman.  Jr.,  of  \ew 
York,  to  succeed  himself: 

"Tiiere  have  been  many  times  in  my  life  when  I  have  felt 
and  wished  that  I  was  in  a  position  to  express  my  thoughts 
clearly,  and  this  is  one  of  them.  I  have  had  a  great  deal  of 
honor  thrust  upon  me  within  the  last  year,  but  1  deem  this  one 
of  the  greatest  honors  to  be  able  to  ot^er  you  in  nominating  a 
man  to  act  as  president  for  the  ensuing  year. 

"He  is  a  man  tliat  we  all  know;  he  has  been  tried  and  not 
foun<!  wanting;  a  man  who  commands  the  respect  of  every- 
b(Mly  in  the  tobacco  business  throughout  the  world  a  man  who 
has  shown  himself  to  be  impartial  and  cai)able;  and  whilst  it 
seems  almost  a  folly  for  nie  to  .stand  here  before  you  and  sing 
the  praises  of  a  man  whom  we  all  hold  in  such  high  esteem, 
yet  1  can't  help  but  do  a  certain  amount  of  it  on  account  of 
the  great  personal  regard  which  I  hold  for  Joseph  F.  Cullman, 
Jr.,  of  New  York  City  (applause)  and  I  offer  you  his  name  as 
a  candidate  for  the  presidency  of  the  Xational  Cigar  I.eaf  To- 
bacco Association."  (I'rolonged  applause  and  calls  for 
s|)eech.) 

Mr.  Cullman  was  visibly  filled  with  emotioiL  btit  in  an  in- 
stant regained  his  composure,  and  in  accepting  the  nomination 
said : 

"As  president  of  this  association  I  apjjrcciate  this  honor 
a  great  deal  more  than  you  ajipreciate  giving  it  to  me.  Jt  means 
an  aw  ful  lot  to  a  young  man  like  me,  but  it  is  with  the  deepest 
regret  that  I  accej)t  it,  for  I  feel  that  it  is  for  the  best  interests 
that  men  should  develop  and  rise  up  to  love  the  association,  and 
we  can  only  get  universal  interest  in  the  association  by  a  change 
of  administration.  It  is  not  the  time  that  I  begrudge,  nor  do- 
ing the  work  that  I  begrudge,  but  it  seems  to  be  your  wish 
that  I  should  be  president.  I  have  never  shysted  a  job  yet 
and  I  hope  I  never  do.     Cientleman,  1  thank  you." 

W.  J.  Lucaswitz,  of  Dayton,  O.,  in  presenting  the  name  of 
.\.  W.  Fless,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  in  nomination  for  vice-president, 
said : 

"T  take  great  pleasure  in  presenting  to  you  for  the  office 
of  vice-])residcnt  a  gentleman  who  certaiidy  has  the  ability  to 
take  care  of  the  office;  a  man  who  comes  from  a  large  grow- 
ing section — Mr.  A.  Vk  1  Fess,  of  Lancaster,  Pa." 

In  accepting  the  election  to  the  vice-presidency  Mr.  Hess 
said : 

"Tt  has  been  my  privilege  to  be  identified  with  the  tnem- 
bership  of  the  organization  for  the  past  three  years,  and  dur- 
ing that  time  T  have  had  the  pleasure  of  attending  three  ses- 
sions of  the  association.     1  assure  you  it  has  been  my  plea- 


sure to  form  nmnerous  aojuaintances  which  I  highlv  appre- 
ciate, and  who  will  not  be  readily  forgotten.  1  thank' von  for 
the  confidence  you  have  evidenced  in  me.  and  I  trust  I  will 
be  of  assistance  in  furthering  the  interests  of  the  organization 
so  as  to  acomplish  the  greatest  good  for  the  greatest  mnn- 
ber. 

Joseph  Mendelsohn,  of  Xcw  York,  placed  in  nomination 
and  for  re-election  as  treasurer  of  the  ass«KMation  the  name  of 
Fehx  F.ckerson.  of  Philadelphia. 

Mr.  F:ckerson  upon  his  election  gracefullv  accepted  the 
honors,  and  thanked  the  association  for  the '  confidence  re- 
imposed  by  their  manifestations. 

IVesident  Cullman  re(|uested  the  privilege  of  naming  his 
own  secretary,  which  was  cheerfully  assented  to.  and  he  named 
Charles  I'ox,  of  Xew  York,  to  succeed  him.self. 

President  Cullman  announced  that  bv  reason  of  the 
change  in  the  constitution,  he  would  make  tlie  appoititment  of 
directors  at  a  later  time. 

CONVKNTION    IN   L.ANCA.STKR   XkXT   Yk.\R. 

Although  urgent  invitation  was  received  from  St.  Louis 
to  hold  the  next  annual  convention  there,  the  invitation  from 
Captam  Joseph  Goldberg,  on  behalf  of  the  Lancaster  Leaf  To- 
obacc  Hoard  of  Trade,  was  so  attractive  that  it  could  not  be 
reftised  and  it  was  decided  that  the  next  animal  meeting  should 
be  held  at  Lancaster  on  May  8th  and  (;th  of  next  year. 

The  meeting  was  then  adjourned. 


Elaborate  Entertainment  at  Hartford, 
^utomobile  Trip.  Dinner  at  Golf  Club,  and  Brilliant  Banquet. 

r  seems  that  each  year  the  entertainment  of  delegates 
and  visitors  by  the  local  boards  of  the  various  places 
where  the  conventions  have  been  held,  becomes  more 
elaborate.  This  year  the  arrangements  were  made 
by  the  ICxecutive  Committee  apiK)inte(l  by  the  Connecticut 
Leaf  Tobacco  As.sociation,  Benjamin  L.  Haas,  president,  con- 
sisting of: 

h:ntertainment.— Fred  B.  Griffin,  chairman;  G.  H.  Gabb, 
M.  L.   Floyd,  E.  M.   Hartman.  William  S.   Huntting    W    R

iMiiance.— Fred  B.  (Griffin,  chairman;  S.  Hartman, 
George  Mitchelson,  W^  R.  Israel  and  W.  P.  Haas. 

The  spirit  of  hospitality  and  good-fellowship  began  to 
flow  early  on  Sunday  afternoon,  ujx^n  the  arrival  of  the  ad- 
vance guards  of  delegates,  and  its  constant  rippling  didn't 
cease  a  minute. 

Monday's    Entertainment. 

A  most  enjoyable  outing  was  given  the  delegates  in  an 
automobile  trip  which  fomied  a  veritable  parade  of  a  half  a 
hundred  luxurious  cars.  The  procession  left  the  Putnam 
Phalanx  Hall  at  3  P.  M.  The  itinerary  included  the  Capitol 
grounds,  Goodwin  Park.  West  Hartford,  West  Hartford 
Centre  to  I^'armington,  an<l  returning  from  there  a  stop  was 
made  at  Elm  Tree  Inn.  Resuming  their  journey  the  party  was 
driven  through  beautiful  Elizabeth  Park  and  on  to  the  Hart- 
ford Golf  Club,  where  a  dinner  was  served.  The  party  was 
returned  to  Hartford  at  9  P.  M.  During  the  evening  scores  of 
delegates  visited  Tiik  Toh.vcco  Worij)  heacUpiarters  in  suite, 
9^-93  Allyn  House,  where  more  than  an  hour  was  pleasantly 
spent.

I.  M.  Strasser.  of  Albany.  X.  V.,  claims  the  distinction  of 
being  the  baby  member  of  the  National  Cigar  Leaf  Tobacco 
Association,  judging  from  liis  ap|)earance  we  would  regard 
him  as  a  pretty  vigorous  youngster.  It  was,  however,  the  first 
visit  he  has  made  to  the  associati(»n  meetings  and  was  well 
pleased  that  he  had  done  so. 

L.  Schmid.  the  well-known  Xew^  York  Sumatra  importer, 
brought  several  heavyweights  to  Hartford  with  him  from  New 
\'ork  in  his  automobile,  which  is  a  new  Packard  machine.  His 
guests  were  Cullman,  Cohen  and  Cranz. 

Bert  Wolf,  of  Dayton,  ( )hio.  is  the  only  man  we  have  ever 
hear  of  who  has  really  seen  "Kelly".  P»ut  he  declared  he  found 
him  the  other  night,  comfortably  tucked  away  in  his  bed. 
Ask  P.ert. 

When  uj>on  arriving  in  Hartford  last  Sunday  one  of  the 
newspaper  men  found  the  town  closed  up  tight  he  was  com- 
pelled to  appeal  to  the  local  druggist  for  a  "high  ball". 

T.  H.  Weaver,  of  Lancaster,  made  more  than  the  old- 
fashioned  "century  runs"  on  .Sunday  last  in  his  new  touring 
car.  and  although  it  was  a  little  late  he  reached  Hartford  in  good 
shape.  He  was  accompanied  on  his  trip  from  Lancaster  by  L. 
.\.  Wheeler,  of  Troy,  (). ;  A.  W.  Cieske,  of  Baltimore;  W.  J. 
Lucaswitz  and  Ik-rt  Wolf,  of  Dayton.  O. 

It  is  much  regretted  by  all  that  Messrs.  John  H.  Duys, 
John  W.  Merriam  and  others  were  unable  to  attend  the  con- 
vention this  year. 

Press  I'lldridge.  the  black-face  comedian,  sprung  a  new 
joke  on  the  boys  the  other  night  when  he  related  his  experience 
with  a  new  brand  of  cigars  called  "Adam  and  Eve".  Soon 
after  smoking  one  he  began  to  'eave,  he  said. 

These  conventions  would  be  dry  affairs  without  Colonal 
Taussig,  of  Chicago,  and  Maaklaar  Cranz,  of  New  York. 

P»enjamin  \..  Haas,  of  Hartford,  deserves  credit  for  having 
the  courage  of  his  own  convictions,  for  he  declared  if  an  at- 
tempt was  made  to  cfTect  a  reduction  of  tariff  on  Sumatra  to- 
bacco to  a  dollar  a  pound  he  could  be  dependend  upon  to  fight 
against  it  with  all  the  vigor  he  possessed,  and  that  is  more  than 
a  little,  too. 

Moritz  Neuberger,  of  New  York,  fuUy  established  the  fact 
that  he  is  not  alone  a  good  tobacco  man,  but  also  a  thoroughly 
good  musician  as  well.  His  rendition  of  a  violin  solo  during 
the  ban(|uet  at  Hartford  was  highly  appreciated. 

P.ert  Newfield.  of  Hartford,  is  richly  deserving  of  a  prize 
for  his  delightful  entertainments  as  a  vocalist.  And  we  don't 
w\int  to  overlook  Jerome  Waller,  cither. 

.All  kinds  of  "hands"  were  drawn  at  Hartford,  of  which 
some  were  accepted,  some  rejected,  as  good,  bad  or  indifferent, 
but  none  burned  badly. 

It  is  all  over  now  until  next  year  at  Lancaster,  and  then — 
well,  we'll  be  there.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


TME  €II€^E  MISECMAMT^S  STAMPS 

Should  be  on  an  Elqual  with  Merchants  of  Other  Commercial  Branches. 

Despite  Public  Opinion  to  Contrary. 

BY  AIJUiKT  n.  MILlJiR,  riiiUidclplmi. 


H 


l-KI*'.  is  a  (jiu'stion  \vc  liavc  often 
l)ffM  iiuliiK-d  to  discuss:  The 
I)oj»iilar  impression  as  to  the 
staiKJinj^  of  the  cij^ar  dealer  or  to- 
haceonist  compared  to  merchants  in  other 
branches  of  the  commercial  held. 

It  is  an  undeniable  fact,  althouj^di  ex- 
ceedingly rej,'retful.  that  in  the  majority  of 
cases,  rej,'ardless  of  the  size  of  the  invest- 
UR-nt.  the  character  of  the  shop,  or  the  abil- 
ity of  the  man.  whenever  a  cigar  dealer  is 
mentioned  there  is  an  almost  invariable  dis- 
position on  the  j)art  of  ni;)st  minds  to  class 
him  l)e>ieath  the  averaj^e  merchant  in  other 
lines  of  business.     .Xnd  some  jjood  peoj)le,  ALBtRr  D. 

women  especially,  seem  to  have  the  opinion  that  the  atmos- 
phere surroimdinj^  most  cij^ar  shops  is  not  only  tainted  with 
smoke  from  cheap  cij^ars.  but  also  with  an  influence  abso- 
lutely immoral.  Why  is  this  true?  One  mij^dit  dismiss  it 
with  the  answer,  "downrij^ht  ij^Miorance."  but  we  have  always 
recoj^nized  it  as  a  too-j;o<Kl  subject  to  treat  so  lij^htly.  and 
by  word  of  mouth  and  by  j)en  regard  a  puri)ose  towards 
assisting  t»)  dis|)el  such  an  erroneous  and  undeserving  im- 
pression as  worthy  of  one's  most  enthusiastic  efforts. 

Perhaps  forty  or  fifty  years  ago,  due  to  the  undeveloped 
state  of  the  tobacco  world  and  the  extreme  disfavor  attaclied 
to  it.  there  were  few  men  of  good  moral  character  and  strong 
business  (pialities  attracted  to  it,  but  there  were  some  such 
sufficiently  foresighted  to  recognize  its  possibilities  and  w<»rth. 
Since  then  we  have  seen  it  develoj)  into  gigantic  proportions, 
involving  millions  ujxm  millions  of  dollars  in  investments,  em- 
ploying hundreds  of  thousands  of  men  and  women  in  the  cul- 
tivation, mamifacture  and  (lis|H)sition  of  the  products,  and 
commanding  a  force  of  brain  iK)wer  and  character  sectjnd  to 
n«)ne.  .And  with  all  this  has  come  a  gradual  and  substantial 
uplift  in  the  moral  standard  of  the  business  in  all  branches. 
'J'he  keenly  observant  public  has  noticed  this,  and  it  is  only  a 
matter  of  time  when  the  people  generally  will  come  to  accord 
the  business  the  high  |K>sition  it  demands  and  is  entitled  to. 

I'nscrupulous  i)ersons  creep  into  and  are  to  be  found  in 
all  the  various  commercial  and  professional  fields,  and  while 
the  percentage  of  such  in  the  tobacco  business  may  have  ex- 
ceeded the  average  some  years  back,  we  doubt  if  a  greater 
progress  of  a  thoroughly  substantial  and  commendatorv  char- 
acter during  the  past  twenty  years  can  be  cited  than  that  with 
which  this  article  deals.  This  is  due:  hirst,  because  the  keen 
competition,  coupled  with  the  vast  investments,  has  made  i)os- 
sible  a  wonderful  advance  in  the  cultivation  of  the  tobacco  leaf 
and  the  pro|)er  marketing  of  same;  second,  the  widesj)read 
use  of  tobacco,  combined  with  the  first  reason,  has  brought 
about  a  mo.st  discriminating  and  exacting  trade.  The  average 
smoker  of  to-day  is  as  particular  in  the  choice  of  his  cigar 
as  he  is  in  the  cut  of  his  clothes,  h'urther.  a  cigar  mav  con- 
fain  in  tobacco  and  workmanship  the  highest  elements  of 
merit,  yet  .so  varied  are  the  combinations  and  shapes,  and  the 
tastes  of  the  smokers,  that  in  the  selection  and  arrangement  of 
stock  and  the  selling  of  the  goods,  intelligence,  personality, 
tact,  judgment  and  other  essential  (jualifications  are  as  abso- 
lutely necessary  to  insure  success  as  in  the  handling  of  anv 
other  high-grade  conimcxlity.  and  in  just  as  great  degree. 
Years  ago  a  salesman  behind  the  cigar  counter  earning  ten  or 
twelve  dollars  a  week  was  an  exception  and  his  reputation  as 


MILLLK 


a  salesman  was  about  <n  a  par  with  his 
salar\.  l)Ut  to-day  liie  weekly  wage  »»f  a 
salesman  in  a  first-class  cigar  sliop  runs 
from  fifteen  dollars  to  iwenty-five  dollars 
and  even  higher,  awd  cnrrespoudingly  he 
mu-t  sustain  a  first-cla>s  reputatit.n. 

We  will  take  it  f  t  granted  that  the 
e<htor  of  Till-;  lOitxcto  WoKiu  and  its 
large  number  of  intLllij^ent  readers  will 
here  pardon  a  |»ers«!ual  inciiient  to  demon- 
strate the  unfavnrai)le  <.pinion  regarding 
this  business  which  still  prevails  among  a 
large  number  of  oiu'  good  i)eople.  About 
a  year  ago  a  refined  and  cultured  lady,  who 
resided  m  the  neigliburhood  and  who,  we 
subse<juently  learned,  was  the  (laughter  <-f  a  well-known  doctor 
of  divinity  (now  deceased),  began  to  call  at  our  shop  to  make 
purchases  of  cigars  as  gifts  for  persons  who  had  been  extend- 
ing courtesies  to  her.  After  a  few  visil>  >he  j.aid  u>  many 
compliments  on  the  general  conduct  of  and  taste  disjilayed  in 
the  shop  and  the  courteous  and  resjiectful  treatment  accorded 
the  customers;  also  stated  that  she  lia<l  n  t  detected  any  dis- 
agreeable atmos()here.  eitl.er  in  the  odor  nr  UKtrals.  and  that 
j)revious  to  her  calling  on  us  she  had  never  been  in  a  cigar 
shoj).  She  further  exi)laine<l  that  she  had  been  accustomed 
U>  think  of  a  tobacco  shop  as  a  rendezvous  for  gossip, 
impr<<i)er  talk,  more  or  less  gambling.  j)r(tfajiity.  foul  odors. 
etc.,  etc..  and  laugliingly  concluded  by  informing  us  that 
it  was  some  little  time  before  she  had  had  the  courage 
to  tell  her  mother  of  her  new  and  pleasant  experience.  a"n<l 
that  the  elderly  lady  had  been  (|uite  shocked  and  mortified 
over  the  daughter's  conduct.  All  this,  of  course,  was  accom- 
panied by  apologies.  We  took  no  ofYense,  and  expressed  our 
pleasure  over  the  satisfaction  of  auotlier  convert.  Some  time 
later,  this  same  lady,  evidently  still  somewhat  doubtful  of  her 
conversion,  rather  confidentially  asked  us  whether  our  shop 
was  not  an  exception,  as  she  had  not  yet  found  sufficient  cour- 
age to  feel  safe  in  entering  another  cigar  shop.  We  replied: 
*'Xo;  you  will  find  all  first-class  shops  conducted  along  similar 
lines  and  behind  the  counters  of  such  an  accommodating  and 
gentlemanly  class  of  salesmen."  Probably  some  of  the  readers 
of  this  comnumication  may  be  as  shocked  over  the  recital  of 
these  incidents  as  the  daughter  and  her  aged  mother  were  over 
the  sudden  and  late  realization  of  mistaken  impression,  yet  the 
case  is  not  extraordinary,  as  can  be  readily  ascertained  by  a 
little  observation.  I  low  ever,  education  is  working  wonders,  and 
the  i)rediction  is  made  that  it  will  not  be  many  years  more 
before  the  general  and  intelligent  public  will  accord  to  the  busi- 
ness that  respect  its  most  exactijig  re(|uirements  justifv. 

While  this  article  relates  chiefly  to  the  conduct  of  the  ex- 
clusive tobacco  business,  there  is  also  a  noticeable  reform,  so 
far  as  advancing  the  n^oral  standard  is  concerned,  among  the 
smaller  dealers,  who  generally  combine  the  business  with  sta- 
tionery, periodicals,  groceries,  or  other  goods.  I>ut  to  the  ex- 
clusive shops  alone  nuist  be  given  the  greatest  credit  of  ad- 
vanced exanij)les.  not  only  in  regard  to  morals,  but  also  in 
ability,  goods  and  taste  disi)layed.  as  well  as  in  the  imj)roved 
science  exercised  in  keei)ing  the  goods  in  a  clean  and  proper 
condition.  The  up-to-date  cigar  shop  is  a  wholesome,  artistic. 
I)ainstaking.  reliable  and  thoroughly  respectful  place  to  enter, 
and  no  man.  woman  or  child  need  have  any  fear  of  having 
their  morals  shocked  should  thev  have  occasion  to  visit  such.

partment merely  to  discuss  certain    features 
of  the  proceedings. 

The  determination  of  the  conventicni  to  con<luct  a  cam- 
paign of  publicity  an<l  educati<;n  is  a  step  in  the  right  direction. 
I  low  far  this  campaign  will  reach  it  is  impossible  to  predict,  but 
certain  it  is  that  it  should  extend  int(j  every  phase  of  the  intlus- 
try,  from  the  planter  to  the  consumer. 

First  among  the  duties  of  the  Publicity  Committee  should 
be  the  enlistment  of  every  cigar  leaf  man  in  this  country  under 
the  standard  of  the  National  Association.  With  the  united  in- 
dustry behind  them,  this  committee  can  then  set  out  to  do  its 
work.  Not  only  will  it  be  necessary  for  this  committee  to  keep 
a  wachful  eye  on  Washington  and  other  centres  of  legislation 
to  prevent  encroachments  on  the  rights  of  its  members,  but  it 
should  extend  its  scope  by  calling  into  play  every  possible 
vveap(jn  of  publicity. 

Thk  Tohacco  World  hereby  extends  the  reasonable  use 
of  its  columns  for  a  camapign  of  education,  whether  it  embrace

In  view  of  the  mometitous  tlecisitnis  which  tlevolve  upon

Justice  M(K)dy,  though  only  fifty-seven  years  of  age,  is 
unable  to  do  judiciary  w«)rk  because  of  chronic  rheumatism  or 
similar  trouble.  He  has  heard  none  of  the  big  arguments  af- 
fecting the  Trusts,  and  Justice  Holmes,  of  Massachusetts,  is 
considered  prt)bably  the  most  alert  meml)er  of  the  I»ench.  The 
ai)pointment  of  Judge  Lurton,  of  Tennessee,  has  given  great 
satisfacton,  and  the  one  just  announced  of  (jovernor  Hughes, 
of  New  York,  is  esteemed  one  of  the  best  that  has  ever  been 
made.  In  fact,  Governor  Hughes  will  bring  to  the  Supreme 
Hench  a  degree  of  legal  learning  and  devotion  to  high  ideals 
which  have  never  been  excelled  among  the  Cnited  States

matter. 


After  a  long  period  of  rel)ort'^   which   were  calculated  to 
try  men's  souls,  there  are  glimmerings  to-day  of  better  ^igns 

all  around   f(»r  the  manufacturers  of  cigars 

Business  Health  '"'''  ^"'^^•'''^'"  throughout  the  country,  and 
^  ,  -  -  ,  several  straw>  have  been  cast  out  to  the 
Un  the  Mend.       winds,    which    would    show    that   at    least   a 

portion  of  the  i)rosi)erity  about  which  our 
leading  statesmen  are  so  busy  discussing,  is  drifting  toward 
our  industry. 

.\  report  a  few  days  since  from  HcKighton,  Mich.,  detailed 
the  placing  of  an  order  in  that  little  town  f(»r  75(),(xx)  cigars  of 
one  leading  brand  to  be  delivered  within  the  next  twelve 
months,  and  this  would  indicate  that  in  that  j)articular  section 
of  the  cop|)er  country  the  dealers  are  not  a  bit  fearful  about 
placing  orders,  and  for  large  amounts. 

The  official  revenue  statistics  from  the  b'irst  Ohio  District 
also  disclose  that  the  manufacturers  out  there  are  making 
more  goods  to-day.  by  a  slight  margin,  than  they  were  twelve 
months  ago.  When  it  is  con>idrred  that  cigar  manufacturers 
have  been  very  wary  about  making  up  go«Mls  for  stock,  it  can 
be  judged  that  their  business  is  at  least  improving  to  a  degree. 

The  reports  from  Cuba  are  also  of  an  encouraging  nature, 
an«l  while  the  fine  little  island  is  not  yet  getting  all  the  business 
she  wants,  still  the  makers  of  clear  Havana  cigars  feel  that 
the  tide  has  turned  and  the  dawn  of  a  more  prosperous  day  i.s 
beginning  to  break.

Heart  to  Heart  Talk  With  Clerks. 
"P^^  ^ '*'  "•  I'j^"  ^'1>H>"  <»l)jt'cts  of  the  successful  salesmen  in 
V/  I  the  handling'  of  customers  is  the  making;  of  the  right 
inijtression.  If  he  fails  in  this  he  is  not  a  success  as 
a  salesman.  liis  real  success  depends  upon  his  ahility 
to  sell  go«Mls  upon  one  day  that  will  hring  more  sales  upon  the 
niorn.w.  and  this  is  certainly  the  modern  idea  of  salesmanship. 
I  le  must  know  the  goods  th<>roughly  and  reproent  them  strictly 
.as  they  are.  or  rather  as  he  kn(»ws  them  to  he.  and  then  if  he  is 
ahle  t(.  say  that  with  assurance  and  can  l(H)k  his  customer 
straight  in  the  face  his  chances  of  elTecting  a  sale  have  heen 
more  than  won.  lie  will  never  misuse  his  talking  ahility.  f«)r 
it  would  n«.t  do  for  a  cust«.mer  to  get  anything  hack  on  him, 
even  though  morally  he  may  he  the  sufferer.  iMuancially  the 
boss  may  he.  If  the  salesman  in  eagerness  to  elTect  sales  has 
overstepped  himself,  he  may  have  cut  out  a  business  of  a  great 
many  <|ollars  a  year  because  that  is  just  how  touchy  some  cus- 
tomers are.  lie  can't  he  too  careful,  therefore,  in  his  general 
demeanor  as  a  salesman. 

Psychological  Salesmanship. 

HAT  certain  go..ds  must  be  displayed  in  a  window  to 
l)roduce  the  best  effect  and  attract  the  most  atten- 
tion, is  not  a  vague  and  mysterious  problem  of  taste 
and  opinion.  Imt  a  fact  ascertainable  through  experi- 
ence. The  reasj.n  why  «»ne  a<lvertisement  catches  the  eye  and 
an(»ther  does  not  and  why  one  kind  of  a  wrapped  cigar  sells 
g«M.d  while  an(.ther  cigar  with  a  different  wrai)per  is  appar- 
ently neglected  on  the  shelves,  can  better  be  determined  before 
than  after  large  e\i)enditures.  Newsb(»ys  on  the  streets  can  make 
Use  of  a  new  |)sychology.  for  it  will  tell  him  to  a|)proach  a  pos- 
sible customer  not  with  "Paper  sir?",  but  with  "'W  hat  paper?*' 

And  so  it  is  in  the  cigar  trade.  The  assumption  of  one's 
intention  to  purchase  acts  as  a  strong  suggestion  by  ignoring 
the  possibility  that  n(.  cigar  at  all  is  wante<l.  'J'his  particular 
example  is  not  as  significant  as  it  seems  and  the  more  one  thinks 
about  it  and  about  the  variations  and  extensions  of  which  it  is 
capable,  the  more  iM)ssible  and  the  importance  of  it  seems.

Gel  the  Booster  Spirit. 

P^J^  R(  )BABLY  the  best  man  in  the  store  is  the  man  who 
I  *  I  displays  the  right  spirit.  We  mean  by  that  that  he 
should  have  a  spirit  for  boosting,  b'or  boosting,  if 
discreetly  done,  is  a  very  valuable  thing,  and  the  man 
who  has  the  right  kind  of  booster  spirit  is  pretty  nearly  the 
right  thing.  A  man  who  can  build  and  work  and  enthuse  is 
undoubtedly  a  man  who  believes  in  himself  and  in  his  store. 
Can  we  all  do  that,  even  if  .some  of  us  be  only  just  plain  clerks? 
It  is  largely  a  matter  of  getting  into  the  right  spirit.  And  the 
booster  always  sees  the  best  right  around  him.  He  can  see  no 
better  goods  anywhere,  no  boss  is  more  on  the  level  than  his 
boss.  FA'erything  around  the  establishment  seems  to  him  to 
be  just  the  Ix'st  that  can  be,  and  so  on. 

It  isn't  so  much  the  good  that  he  does  to  the  store  as  the 
down-right  good  that  he  docs  to  himself  in  actually  doing  some- 
thing, doing  something  for  himself  and  for  his  store  and  not 
to  merely  follow  the  other  fellow,  for  in  that  he  would  merely 
have  done  what  ten  thousands  of  others  did.  Doesn't  it  seem 
that  it  is  up  to  us  all  to  make  one  grand  break  and  be  boosters?

The  Salesman's  Talents. 

AXI'lW  YORK  magazine  recently  published  the  follow- 
ing dissertation  in  one  of  its  house  organs  called  The 
Ihillrtin,  which  is  issued  in  the  interest  of  the  But- 
terick  rublishing  Company,  which  for  the  benefit  of 
<»ur  readers  among  the  salesmen  we  clip  the  following  extracts 
from. 

Indeed  this  little  dissertation  could  be  read  with  equal 
l)rofit  by  every  member  of  the  trade,  and  it  is,  in  part,  as 
follows : 

You  must,  of  course,  know  your  stock  of  goods — but  your- 
self— how  about  that  factor  in  the  problem? 

You  will  never  do  yourself  justice  as  a  salesman  until  in 
cold  blood  you  have  taken  stock  of  yourself.  Take  pencil  and 
paper  to-day  and  write  down  in  the  —  and  +  columns  your 
good  and  bad  points  as  a  salesman. 

Why?  Ik'cause  you  ought  to  use  your  goml  points  to  the 
limit,  and  begin  a  systematic  campaign  on  overcoming  your 
faults. 

Let's  get  down  to  cases.  Are  you  industrious,  optimistic, 
thorough,  (juick,  observant,  patient,  always  courteous,  tactful, 
clear  in  expressing  your  thoughts,  able  to  concentrate? 

Do  you  always  keep  your  temper,  talk  too  much  or  too 
little? 

Do  you  gossip,  exaggerate,  or  bluff? 

Are  you  loyal  to  the  house? 

Now  about  your  health.  Can  you  improve  it?  Are  you 
sleeping  enough?  Do  you  eat  sensibly?  Do  you  exercise 
regularly  ? 

Now,  let's  be  brutally  frank  and  talk  about  personal  ap- 
pearance. Are  you  as  immaculately  clean  as  your  job  will 
allow  your  hands  and  nails,  clothes  and  shoes  to  be? 

I'm  not  preaching.  This  is  a  chat  alx)ut  an  inventory 
which  I  take  myself  periodically,  and  I  never  do  it  without 
fmding  that  I  must  keep  building  up  where  my  defenses  have 
fallen  away. 

P.  II.  Rozelle  has  open  a  new  cigar  store  in  the  Family 
Theatre  Block  at  Pittston,  Pa.  The  premises  have  been  thor-

show  cases,  making  a  very  attractive  appearance.

The  Man  Who  Can  Talk  Well. 

TIlb'RE  is  no  other  one  thing,  says  .Mr.  Mardeii.  a 
New  York  magazine  e<litor.  which  enables  us  to  make 
so  good  an  impression,  especially  upon  those  wlio  do 
not  know  us  thoroughly,  as  the  ability  to  converse 
well.  .\  man  who  can  talk  well,  who  has  the  art  of  | fitting 
things  in  an  attractive  way.  who  can  interest  others  immediately 
by  his  power  of  speech,  has  a  very  great  advantage  over  «tne 
who  may  know  more  than  he.  but  who  cannot  express  himself 
with  ease  or  elo(|uence. 

^'ou  may  be  a  good  singer,  a  fine  artist,  you  may  have  a 
great  many  accomplishments  which  |>eople  occasionally  see  or 
enjoy;  you  may  have  a  very  beautiful  home  an«l  a  lot  of  prop- 
erty which  comparatively  few  people  ever  know  about;  but  if 
you  are  a  giKxl  converser,  every  (»ne  you  meet  recognizes  and 
aj)i)reciates  your  art.  Everybo<ly  you  conver.-.e  with  feels  the 
infiuence  of  your  skill  and  charm. 

In  other  words,  there  is  no  accomplishment.  U"  attainment 
which  you  can  use  so  constantly  an<l  effectively,  which  will  give 
so  much  pleasure  to  your  friends,  as  fine  conversation.  Tlure 
is  no  doubt  that  the  gift  of  language  was  intended  to  be  a  nnicb 
greater  accomplishment  than  the  majority  of  us  have  ever  made 
of  it. 

The  cjuaHty  of  the  conversation  is  everything.  We  all 
know  peof)le  wlio  use  the  choicest  language  and  express  their 
thoughts  in  fluent,  li(|uid  diction,  who  imi)ress  Us  by  the  wonder- 
ful fiow  of 'their  conversation:  but  that  is  all  there  is  to  it. 
Thev  <lo  not  impress  us  with  their  thoughts;  they  do  not  stinui- 
late  us  to  action.  We  do  not  feel  any  more  determine*!  to  do 
something  in  the  world,  to  Ik-  somelxtdv  aftti  we  have  heard 
them  talk  than  we  felt  before. 

We  know  other  people  who  talk  very  little,  but  wliosi- 
words  are  so  full  of  meat  an<l  stimulating  brain  force  that  we 
feel  ourselves  multiplied  many  times  by  the  power  the\  have 
injected  into  us." 

H.  W.  Olson,  C.  .M.  (lark  and  ( i.  P..  P.«»swell,  «»f  .Mon-

HffPJI  West.  Many  of  ilie  factories  liavc  heen  forced  to 
close  for  several  weeks,  and  sonic  of  them  have  heen 
ohli^ed  to  lay  <>((  their  men  for  months.  This  year  is  an  ex- 
ception t(.  the  nile.  While  the  orders  have  not  heen  comin<( 
in  with  the  ^neat  vohnne  exj)erienced  for  the  past  two  or  three 
months,  the  rlemaiKJ  has  heen  steady  and  the  (Uitpnt  is  far  in 
excess  of  1909. 

The  lonjj  drought  has  caused  some  inconvenience  in  the 
smaller  factories,  as  their  cisterns  ran  drv  and  thev  were  ohlit'e*!

Manager  Arnold  atid  President  P.atterton  will  leave  for  Cuba 
to  buy  tobacco  as  .«;oon  as  it  can  be  handled.     .\t  present  the

Detroit.  Mich.,  May  utli. — Detroit  and  .Michigan  to- 
bacco mamifacturers  rep«»rt  a  normal  demand  and  factories  in 
different  parts  of  the  .State  are  running  full.  There  is  consid- 
erable complaint  on  the  part  of  manufacturers  because  of  an 
inability  to  get  sufficient  helj).  The  .Scot  ten -Dillon  Co.,  and 
other  large  concerns  are  a<lvertising  extensively  for  female 
lal)orers,  while  cigar  manufacturers  are  advertising  for  strip- 
pers, etc.  The  claim  is  set  up  by  cigar  mamifacturers  that  the 
automobile  industry  is  attracting  the  best  mechanics  in  different 
lines  in  the  city.  Autijmobile  manufacturers  sent  out  attract- 
ively worded  advertisments  for  labor,  and  because  of  the  g<K)d 
wages  offered  they  succeed  in  getting  jjractically  all  the  help 
they  need.  Not  only  the  tobacco  business,  but  all  lines  of  busi- 
ness suffer. 

.Six  thousand  cigars  were  recently  found  near  the  .Ann 
Arbor  depot  in  Milan  by  officers.  It  is  thought  they  were 
stolen  from  a  freight  car. 

There  have  been  complaints  from  dilTerent  shipi)ers  that 
freight  is  congested  at  various  distributing  points  in  the  State, 
because  of  a  strike  of  freight  handlers. 

The  American  Cigar  Co.,  now  located  in  Brown  Bros.' 
block  at  State  and  Cass  streets,  is  soon  to  have  one  of  the  most 
modern  cigar  manufacturing  plants  in  the  city  or  State.  Nego- 
tiations for  the  structure  have  been  completed,  w'hile  the  plans 
are  practically  ready.  The  company  will  take  the  new  structure 
under  a  long  term  lease,  and  it  is  their  aim  to  have  the  new 
building  ready  when  the  present  lease  expires,  which  will  be  in 
about  one  year. 

F..  L  Stachelberg,  of  M.  Stachelbcrg  I't  Co.,  arrived  in  New

built  by  Mr.  John  Walters  and  cost  about  $250,000. 

A  cigar  store  has  been  opened  in  the  Kayser  Building  by 
E.  T.  Matthews,  who  for  many  years  was  connected  with  the 
Curtis  chain  of  stores.  Mr.  Matthews  was  fortunate  in  obtain- 
ing such  a  good  location,  and  he  has  stocked  up  with  a  high- 
grade  line  of  imported  and  domestic  gooils. 

O.  R.  Middlekauft*.  who  conducted  a  tobacco  store  on

King  George  V.  as  Cigar  Label. 

N  interesting  feature  in  connection  with  the  lamented 
death  of  King  Edward  last  week  was  the  immediate 
and  insistent  application  of  a  number  of  cigar  manu- 
facturers and  lithographers  for  the  registration  of 
the  title  King  George  V,  as  applied  to  cigars,  cigarettes,  smok- 
ing tobacco,  etc. 

Immediately  upon  the  announcement  of  the  death  of  the 
British  King,  the  offices  of  The  Tobacco  World  Registr.vtion 
Bureau  received  three  telegrams,  one  telephone  message — on 
the  morning  following  the  death — and  one  personal  call  at  8.30 
A.  M.,  all  in  reference  to  the  registration  of  the  title  King 
George  V.  The  energetic  efforts,  however,  of  the  alert  manu- 
facturers proved  futile,  as  the  title  had  been  registered  ten 
years  ago  and  is  to-day  the  property  of  the  Moehle  Litho- 
graphic Co., .of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 

At  the  present  rate  api)lications  for  "King  George  V" 
promise  to  exceed  those  for  "Chantecleer",  which  are  still  com- 
ing in. 


The  Burley  Tobacco  Society  on  May  2nd  closed  a  contract 
with  a  Frankfort  firm  to  deliver  6,000  tobacco  hogsheads  at 
points  along  the  Kentucky  River  in  Owen,  Henry  and  Carroll 
Counties,  for  the  reception  of  tobacco  from  farmers  there. 


The  IIudson-Russell  cigar  store  will  shortly  occupy  new 
(juartcrs  in  the  Dreamland  Theatre,  Eugene,  Ore.

one  hundred  years  ago  by  .Minister  White,  then  United  States 
representative  at  the  Court  of  Spain,  and  which  was  destroyed 
by  lightning  last  June.  Nestled  among  beautiful  shade  trees  in 
the  centre  of  one  of  the  garden  spots  of  Florida,  this  winter

near  his  residence  he  has  built  a  cement  swimming  pool  in  the 
open.

Dave  Echemendia. 

HK  above  is  an  excellent  portrait  of  Dave  Fxhemendia. 
who  has  the  general  representation  in  the  L^iited 
States  for  the  Castaneda  factories.  Mr.  hlchemendia 
has  an  experience  in  the  cigar  business  extending 
over  a  period  of  a  quarter  of  a  century,  his  first  connection 
dating  back  to  the  El  Modelo  cigar  factory  over  twenty-five 
years  ago.  For  a  number  of  years  he  was  associated  with  the 
Plant  system  of  steamships,  and  in  1898  he  opened  the  famous 
United  States  Club  in  Havana,  which  became  the  headcjuarters 
for  the  Army  and  Navy  officers  and  which  club  is  now  per- 
petuated as  an  American  club. 

Another  valuable  connection  of  Afr.  Echemendia's  was 
with  the  Henry  Clay  and  ]3ock  &  Co.  factory,  and  for  a  time 
he  managed  the  splendid  show  rooms  on  the  Prado  which  this 
company  operated  there.  For  a  year  past  Mr.  Echemendia 
has  been  doing  valiant  work  for  the  Castaneda  factories  and, 
as  stated  in  our  last  issue,  he  has  just  accjuired  beautiful 
offices  at  3  Park  Row,  New  York,  where  he  will  have  the  very 
best  facilities  possible  to  further  the  interests  of  his  goods. 
Associated  with  him  is  E.  P.  Cakes,  who  is  favorably  known 
to  the  trade  by  his  connection  with  Godfrey  S.  Mahn. 

Mr.  Echemendia  refers  to  his  Havana  cigars  as  "Havana- 
Cuba",  which  designates  that  they  are  clear  Havana  cigars 
made  in  Cub!  and  not  in  Tampa,  Key  West  or  the  States. 


Cigars  on  Immigrant  Seized. 

"Uncle  Sam"  is  getting  busy  about  the  number  of  cigars 
immigrants  bring  in  with  them  from  Italy,  and  as  a  result  of 
the  rigid  enforcement  of  the  tariff  law,  1,500  cigars  were  seized 
on  May  6th  on  the  arrival  of  the  Italian  liner  "Sannio."  Michele 
Raffiirio  was  the  victim.  One  big  bag  was  filled  with  the 
smokes,  and  Customs  Inspector  Sleep  discovered  them.  The 
alien  could  not  under.s-tand  why  he  was  allowed  only  fifty 
cigars.  He  refused  to  pay  any  duty  and  the  cigars  were  con- 
fiscated and  will  later  be  sold  by  the  Government.

the  L'nited  States  as  the  i)lace  for  holding  their  annual  conven-

semble here,  board  the  steamer  and  the  business  sessions  will 
be  held  as  the  ship  sails  for  .\ew  \'ork.  Subse(|iieiil  meetings 
will  be  held  in  the  metropolis  when  the  delegates  arrive  there 
and  all  delegates,  who  ch(H)se,  can  return  to  Richmond  on  the 
same  steamer.  The  officers  of  the  as>ociati«)n  are:  Pre^i.lent.

president,  T.  E.  Roberts;  third  vice-presi«lent.  R.  P.  Watson. 


"44"  Sales  Force  on  the  Alert. 

The  sales  force  of  P..  Lipschutz,  Philadelphia,  has  been 
extremely  active  during  the  past  fortnight.  O.  L.  .Mvers  has 
ju.st  comi)lete(l  an  extended  tour  through  New  N'ork  .State  and 
the  Middle  W'e.st,  where  he  placed  the  famous  •'44"  cigars  with 
a  number  of  prominent  jobbing  houses,  who  are  reix.rting  in- 
creased sales  on  this  brand.  C.  P..  Ogdeii,  wli(»  handles  the 
"44"  cigars  in  Rochester  and  Ohio,  si)eaks  enthusiastically 
over  the  cigars  and  has  placed  a  large  standing  order  to  be 
filled  this  summer.  Malilon  A.  Funk,  .sales  manager,  and  .Max 
Lipschutz,  advertising  manager  of  the  44  Cigar  Company,  have 
been  in  Scranton,  Pa.,  spreading  the  signs  and  other  advertis-

$1,000.  The  decision  of  the  Court  of  .Appeal-,  upholding  the 
riot  clause  upon  which  the  companies  relied,  made  it  unneces- 
sary to  carry  the  case  further. 


Perfect  Cigar  Box  Lid  Holder. 

The  Perfect  Cigar  Box  Lid  Holder,  introduced  by  the 
Milwaukee  Novelty  Co..  .Milwaukee.  Wis.,  is  a  holder  "that 
serves  you  right."     One  of  the  .strong  features  that  a|)|)eals  to 

the  cigar  trade  is  the  firm 
manner  in  which  it  holds 
the  cover  at  any  angle. 
That  the  cigar  trade  ap- 
preciates a  good  article 
is  evidenced  by  the  large 
trade  thev  have  enjoved 
and  further  emphasized 
by  the  many  unsolicited 
testimonial  letters  that 
have  followed  sales. 

The  Perfect  Cigar 
Pox  Lid  Holder  not  only

f  /^  1  \  I'riday.  May  stli.  a  charter  was  j^rantcd  at  W'ilniiiij;- 
Ij^hj^  t"i),  Di-l..  to  the  Liberty  Coupon  Company,  who  arc 
^jj^^^  autliorize<l  to  do  a  t^eiicral  cou|M)n  and  premium  rc- 
deiinin^'  business.  Tlie  caj)ital  stock  was  placed  at 
the  nominal  li^^ure  of  $io,()(X).  but  which  amount  will  be  in- 
creased as  occasion  may  re(|uire.  Allhouj^h  a  Delaware  cor- 
poration the  j)rincipal  otVue  of  the  company  will  be  at  152  N. 
Third  street.  rhiladelj)hia,  the  otHicers  and  j)rincipal  stock- 
holders bein^'  rhiladelj»hians.  The  main  business  of  the  new 
enterprise  is  the  promotion  (»f  the  coupon  idea  in  the  cij^ar  and 
tobacco  trade,  while  other  branches  <»f  industry  will  also  be 
Iooke<l  after. 

The  officers  »>f  this  company  are  as  follows:  J.  K.  Tuck, 
president:  H.  ('.  l-.llis.  secretary,  and  |.  Harvey  McHenry, 
treasurer  an«l  ^'eneral  manaj^er.  Mr.  Tuck,  the  president  of 
the  new  company,  is  a  prominent  ciJ,^•lrist  in  IMiialdelj)hia,  and 
who  some  time  a^o  commenced  ojjerations  as  the  Tuck  Coupon 
Company,  which  was  (|uite  successful,  but  he  found  in  the 
new  enterprise  possibilities  of  greater  exj)ansion  and  has 
ttirned  his  former  coupon  business  over  to  the  new  company, 
which  will  redeem  the  Tuck  Company's  coupons,  Mr.  Ellis, 
the  secretary,  certainly  needs  no  introduction  to  the  members 
of  the  cigar  and  t(»bacco  trade,  since  his  many  years'  connection 
with  it  and  as  the  present  head  of  .Arthur  llagen  &  Co.  J. 
Harvey  .McHenry,  the  treasurer  an<l  general  manager  of  the 
newly  organized  company,  is  among  the  poj)ular  of  the  young- 
est members  of  the  trade,  and  has  also  for  a  number  of  years 
been  identified  with  Arthur  Hagen  ^:  Co.  and  has  an  extensive 
and  valuable  act|uaintance.  It  will  be  seen  from  the  personnel 
of  the  com|)any  that  it  is  starting  out  under  very  favorable 
auspices  and  is  officered  by  thoroughly  caj)al)le  and  experienced 
men. 

Since  the  advent  of  the  United  Cigar  Stores  Company  in 
this  city,  the  need  of  the  use  of  coupons  has  become  more 
plainy  apparent,  and  the  plans  of  the  Liberty  Coupon  Company 
are  calculated  to  sujiply  the  tra<le  with  a  system  that  will  be  so 
extensive  in  its  lists  of  premiums  as  to  fully  meet  all  com|)cti- 
tion  of  other  coupon  companies.  It  will  be  of  special  advan- 
tage to  other  dealers,  for  there  will  be  carried  in  stock  at  their 
offices  in  this  city  a  full  line  of  goods  which  may  be  in- 
spected at  any  time.  An  open  invitation  is  extended  U)  the 
trade  to  visit  the  comi)aiiy's  office  at  any  convenient  time  and 
personally  inspect  the  olYerings.

which  occurred  at  a  hotel  in  Atlantic  City  on  Thurs- 
day, May  5th.  was  a  great  shock  to  his  friends  in  the  trade  in 
this  city.  His  death,  it  has  been  ascertained,  was  purely  acci- 
dental by  asphyxiation.  It  is  believed  by  police  authorities  that 
in  turning  ofT  a  gas  jet  another  was  unconsciously  turned 
partly  on,  and  when  his  body  was  discovered  gas  was  found  to 
be  still  flowing. 

Mr.  Steigerwald  was  for  a  number  of  years  engaged  in 
the  cigar  business,  and  had  won  considerable  prominence  as 
the  manufacturer  of  the  'AVahnetah",  a  five-cent  cigar,  which 
had  enjoyed  a  liberal  trade  in  this  city  and  elsewhere.  On  the 
Saturday  previous  to  his  death,  Mr.  Steigerwald  was  elected 
vice-commodore  of  the  Wildwood  Yacht  Club.  He  was  him- 
self the  owner  of  two  yachts  and  quite  a  leader  in  nautical 
sports.  He  was  45  years  of  age  and  is  survived  by  a  widow 
and  two  daughters. 

**  Masterpiece  **  Cigars  in  Philadelphia. 

The  latest  campaign  entered  upon  for  the  development  of 
local  trade  that  has  taken  place  in  this  city  was  taken  up  on 
May  1st  by  Messrs.  Jeitels  &  Blumenthal,  Ltd.  The  brand 
which  will  be  especially  exploited  in  this  city  is  their  "Master- 
piece" five-cent  cigar.  It  is  probably  pretty  well  known  that 
this  house  has  not  heretofore  made  any  special  eflfort  for  home 
trade.  The  success  with  which  the  "Masterpiece"  has  met  in 
other  sections  of  the  country  has  no  doubt  prompted  them  to 
this  move.  Needless  to  say  that  the  "Masterpiece"  is  a  very 
strong  seller  in  the  West  and  it  will,  undoubtedly,  also  make 
its  way  into  favor  in  this  city.  They  are  putting  out  some 
unusually  attractive  advertising  matter  in  the  way  of  window 
signs,  etc.,  and  will  also  see  to  it  that  window  display  featur- 
ing will  not  be  overlooked. 

The  Everybody's  Cigar  Store,  which  was  in  operation  for 
several  months  at  24  N.  Tenth  street,  has  been  discontinued, 
and  the  stock  and  fixtures  removed  to  the  southwest  corner  of 
Ninth  and  Filbert  streets,  thus  consolidating  the  two  establish- 
ments into  one  store.  The  Ninth  street  store,  we  are  in- 
formed, has  developed  into  a  very  desirable  stand,  while  the 
trade  on  Tenth  street  did  not  come  up  to  what  was  expected, 
hence  its  discontinuance.

Muck'O  a  Social  Cigar. 

r  has  been  the  custom  for  several  years  of  the  pa- 
trons of  W.  A.  Ilaug,  well-known  cigarist,  at  19  N. 
Ninth  street,  to  present  some  gift  to  hiin  each 
year  about  Christmas  time.  This  practice  has  been 
in  vogue  for  so  long  a  time  that  his  patrons  have  almost  ex- 
hausted themselves  in  trying  to  decide  what  the  article  shall 
be  as  the  time  again  approached. 

It  occurred  in  December  last  that  some  brilliant  mind 
thought  of  a  parrot  as  a  very  suitable  gift  for  the  occasion  that 
year,  and  as  a  result  there  was  procured  a  fine  specimen  of 
Mexican  parrot,  which  has  since  been  adorning  the  store  and 
also  amusing  the  patrons  while  spending  a  few  lesiure  moments 
at  the  store. 

It  then  became  a  puzzling  matter  to  find  a  suitable  naine 
for  the  new  pet,  until  one  of  the  more  versatile  of  the  cus- 
tomers suggested  "Muck'O",  and  that  was  promptly  adopted. 
Inirthermore,  it  has  proven  a  happy  event  and  one  in  which 
Mr.  Haug  himself  is  fully  particpating.  He  has  introduced 
a  new  brand  of  cigars  under  the  name  of  "Muck'O",  and  made 
a  hit  with  it.  The  name  grew  so  rapidly  in  popularity  that  a 
number  of  the  patrons  organized  a  new  social  club,  which  has 
now  become  known  as  the  "Muck'O  Social  Club",  and  which 
we  are  informed  has  a  membership  of  125  and  that  regular 
monthly  meetings  are  held. 

Recently  a  benefit  was  given  at  Dumont's  Opera  House, 
which  was  well  attended  and  the  club  made  out  finely,  and 
with  the  proceeds  of  that  affair  a  banquet  was  held  at  Mose- 
bach's  Casino  on  Thursday  evening,  April  27th,  which  was 
even  more  largely  attended  than  the  previous  functions  and  was 
pronounced  a  brilliant  success.  Toasts  were  responded  to  and 
many  witty  sayings  were  expressed. 

The  club  has  a  regular  set  of  officers  and  various  conunit- 
tees,  with  F.  B.  Robertson,  the  well-known  representative  of 
the  Manchester  Cigar  Manufacturing  Company,  of  Baltimore, 


as  chairman  of  the  l>an(|uet  C»»mtuittee.  which  so  successfully 
carried  out  that  affair. 

The  "Muck'O"  cigars,  which  Mr.  Haug  has  launched  as  a 
residt  ..f  the  fun  wliich  •the  lu.y«>"  have  had  with  him.  are 
made  at  the  factory  of  Juhn  C,.  Spat/  vS:  Co.,  of  Reading.  Pa. 

Dohan  vS:  Taitt  anuoimce  the  apj>ointment  oi  a  new 
reprcNontative  for  that  house  in  the  State  of  IVnnsvlvauia. 
having  secured  the  services  of  Howanl  (  ).  I'alck.  of  Lancaster, 
who  has  been  for  some  time  engaged  in  the  same  line  of  busi- 
ness and  has  a  large  ac(|uainlance  in  the  trade.  Aside  fn^m 
his  ac(|uaintance  in  the  trade  he  is  also  thonuighly  familiar 
with  the  leaf  tobacco  business.

in  additi<  n  to  \\w  ^'ork  and  New  England.  .Maryland.  Dela- 
ware. Wa-hington,  D.  C,  and  \  irginia.  .Mr.  Karl  Straus,  of 
this  house,  contemplates  a  visit  to  l'.un>|)e  this  vear.  which 
will  be  the  first  time  in  ten  years  that  he  has  visited  his  old 
home  in  (iermany. 

Cnder  the  direction  of  brings  Ihos.  Company,  the  goods 
of  the  I''.  H.  (iato  Cigar  Company  have  made  rapi<l  strides  for- 
wanl  in  the  local  trade.  The  line  is  being  stnmgly  specialized 
and  the  returns  are  highly  j)leasing. 

The  Empire  Leaf  Tobacco  Company,  of  this  city,  figured 
(|uite  consjMcuously  in  the  leaf  trade  recently,  and  in  a  tran.s- 
action  of  nearly  ^ckj  cases  08  Pennsylvania  leaf  they  were  the 
f>rincij)als. 


(ieorge  Dennerlein  of  P.  Deimerlein  i*t  Sons;  William 
L'isher,  representing  V.  &  E.  Cranz;  Julius  .Mar(|uesee,  of  New 
York,  and  11.  J.  Rindskopf,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  were  among 
tile  visitors  during  the  past   week. 

(ieorge  W.  Spitzner.  of  C.  H.  Spitzner  v't  Son,  widely 
known  leaf  tobacco  packers  of  New  Nork.  was  a  visitor  in  this 
city  lately  au<l  |)ersonally  consummated  sales  of  considerable 
(|uantity  of  Coiuiecticut  leaf. 

J.  11.  Hoober.  of  Lancaster,  was  a  well  pleased  man  last 
week.  when,  while  visiting  the  trade  in  this  city,  he  succee<led 
in  etfecting  a  sale  of  nearly  scx)  cases  of  1908  Penn.sylvania 
tobacco  to  a  jobbing  house  through  a  local  broker. 

Charles  and  Fred  Hippie,  of  llij)ple  Bros.  &  Co.,  have 
lately  spent  considerable  time  at  Lancaster,  where  they  are* 
juitting  u|)  a  j>acking  of  1909  tobacco.  Business  was,  how- 
ever, very  ably  looked  after  during  their  absence  by  Warren 
P.  Gotwals,  the  jtuiior  member  of  the  firm.  This  house,  by 
the  way,  is  prospecting  for  larger  (juarter^. 

D.  Kalberman.  representing  Joseph  llirsch  &  Son,  New 
York  .Sinuatra  importers,  was  a  visitor  in  this  city  last  week. 

Barnes-Smith  Co.   Increasing  Forces. 

The  Barnes-.Smith  Company,  of  Binghamton,  N.  Y.,  is 
evidently  anictng  the  very  busy  ones  in  the  I'.mpire  .State,  for 
they  recently  announced  that  they  are  in  need  of  100  girls  to 
strip  tobacco  at  their  factory.  No.  178  Water  street,  Bing- 
hamton. This  is  quite  a  favorable  contrast  with  the  general 
conditions  of  the  cigar  trade,  as  it  is  rejiorted  not  only  from 
Binghamton,  but  from  many  other  sections  of  the  country.  It 
seems,  however,  that  their  "Oj)ia"  brand  has  a  very  strong 
hold  upon  the  market,  an<l  that  it  is  increasing  steadily  in  de- 
man<l  among  consumers. 

\\helj)ley  &  C  lark  on  .May  first  celebrated  their  eighteenth 
business  amiiversary  as  tobacconists  at  their  present  premises 
at  Washington  and  South  Main  streets,  South  Norwalk,  Conn.

I  l.w.WA.  C'ruA.  May  71  li. 

I  l\l.\<i  iIr-  laNt  two  woi'ks  oiR-  large  johhcr  fmin  New 
\'i>rl<  and  several  Tampa  niamifactiircrs,  a>  well  as 
'^<nlH•  nf  our  local  exporters  and  eij^ar  niannfacturers. 
have  given  this  market  a  little  more  life,  and  this  has 
helped  to  swell  the  >ale>.  Trices  evidently  show  a  sign  of 
stiffening,  and  (piite  a  nnmher  of  S|)anish  leaf  dealers  Uel 
more  encouraged  to  hold  on,  as  the  outlo(>k  f«)r  the  coming 
crop  has  not  improved. 

In  reality,  as  the  dry  weather  has  continued  in  all  «)f  the 
tobacco  growing  districts,  except  in  the  (  )riente  Province,  no 
progress  has  been  made  in  taking  the  leaf  down  from  the  poles, 
and,  therefore,  we  arc  all  as  ignorant  about  the  coming  (|ualitv 
as  can  be.  ( )ne  fact,  which  cannot  be  disputed  is.  that  the 
<|uantity  will  be  smaller.  The  crop  was  princii)ally  planted  and 
grown  under  very  unfavorable  weather  conditions,  and  it  is  not 
likely  that  the  good  part  of  the  crop  will  be  abundant,  and  on 
the  contrary,  the  j)rol)al)ilities  point  to  small  leaves  and  too 
heavy  a  (|uality  of  *'\uelta  Abajo",  "Remedios".  and  even 
*•  I'artido".  The  ".Semi-X'uelta"  croj)  this  year  is  described  as 
almost  a  total  failure.  "Remedios"  shall  have  so  much  sap 
or  gnm,  that  perhaps  the  manufacturers  will  be  unable  to  use 
this  style  «»f  leaf  until  the  year  H)i2. 

The  only  ho|>e  is,  that  i)erha|>s  through  a  heavy  sweating 
I)rocess  in  the  piles,  the  extra  heavy  (|uality  will  be  toned  down 
considerably,  but  this  cannot  be  foretold,  and  it  remains  to  be 
seen,  how  the  tobacco  will  act  after  the  fermentation.  Natur- 
ally, our  farmers  are  anxious  to  hurry  their  crops  to  market, 
but  if  they  are  not  careful  they  may  find  later  on.  that  we  will 
have  a  rejietition  of  the  execrable  1907  leaf.  That  the  latter 
crop  was  so  defective  is  now  universally  ascribed  to  the  |)oor 
fermentation  in  the  piles,  therefore,  it  is  hardly  possible  that 
packers  and  farmers  commit  the  same  error  in  the  coming 
mani|)ulation  of  this  year's  tobacco. 

Extraordinary  cool  weather  toward  the  end  of  .\j)ril.  has 
been  followed  by  dry.  hot  weather  this  month.  We  have  had 
no  rain  in  I  favana.  but  it  sprinkled  in  a  few  places  of  our 
province  and  Titiar  del  Kio.  not  enough  to  do  anv  good  to  the 
\egueros.  The  misery  in  "X'nelta  Abajo"  shall  be  terrible,  as 
owing  to  the  drought,  the  farmers  cannot  even  raise  any 
vegetables  to  sii!)sist  ui)on. 

.Sales  during  the  i)ast  fortmght  aggregated  5.725  bales,

Cigar  Eactories  Show  Improvkmkxt. 

Havana  cigar  manufacturers  report  a  slightly  better  in- 
quiry and  that  orders  are  coming  in  more  regularly,  although 
they  are  mostly  for  small  (juantities  of  different  sizes,  and  this 
also  applies  more  to  the  larger  factories  than  the  smaller  ones. 
The  I'nited  States.  Canada  and  South  America  appear  to  be 
the  best  customers  just  now,  while  Great  Britain  seems  at  the 
moment  less  anxious  to  increase  its  calls. 

Germany,  at  this  period  of  the  year,  is  usually  -a  slack 
market,  as  it  is  waiting  to  see  how  the  new  crop  may  turn  out. 
The  following  figures  taken  from  official  custom  house  returns, 
show  that  the  exiK)rts  of  cigars  from  the  Port  of  Havana  from 
January  1st  to  April  15th.  inclusive,  and  for  comparison's  .sake, 
the  figures  are  given  for  the  years  1909  and  1910,  viz.:

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


H.  Upmann  &  Co.  are  working  well  in  their  renowned  "H. 
Upmann"  factory.  Don  Alberto  I'pmann  was  in  charge, 
while  Don  Teodoro  Garbade  was  away  on  his  Hying  trip  to 
New  York,  but  as  the  latter  returned  this  week,  he  is  now  in 
command  again.  Eortunately,  this  factory  has  plenty  of  old, 
light  wrappers  in  stock. 

"Sol"  does  not  complain,  in  fact.  Don  Carlos  I'ehrens 
says,  when  business  is  slack  all  over,  they  generally  experience 
a  good  demand  for  their  excellent  "Sol"  and  "Luis  Marx" 
brands,  from  all  out  of  the  way  countries,  so  this  helps  out 
to  bridge  over  the  dullness  in  the  chief  countries.  Max  .Schatz. 
their  New  York  representative,  however,  never  fails  to  for- 
ward orders  from  the  Cnited  States  and  England,  al.so  in 
ordering  fair  (|uantities. 

"La  Diligencia"  is  doing  (|uite  well,  and  Don  lierna<lo 
Moreda,  after  hi>  return  from  the  famous  bathing  resort  «»f 
San  Diego  de  los  IJanos.  was  very  much  pleased  to  see  how 
his  friends  and  cnstomers  had  ordered  cigars  during  his  ab- 
sence, and  he  begs  to  exten«l  his  thanks  throtigh  the  columns 
of  The  TonA((()  Wokld  to  the  patronage  bestowed  upon  "La 
Diligencia."  Having  a  large  stock  of  choice,  old  tobacco  on 
hand,  he  gurantees  his  customers  the  same  uniform,  g(K)d 
(|uality  of  his  cigars  during  the  remainder  of  the  year  i<>i(>, 
no  matter  what  the  final  outcome  of  the  i(;io  crop  may  be. 

Henry  Clay  and  l»ock  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  is  fully  occupied,  hav- 
ing plenty  of  orders  to  fill  yet  from  all  directions.  Mr.  Per- 
cival S.  Hill  only  stayed  three  days  in  Havana.  b>om  .\ew 
York  he  will  visit  luirope  on  a  hasty  trip.  bVank  .\rango, 
the  manager  of  the  different  factories,  is  well  spoken  of.  as  he 
understands  his  arduous  duties  thoroughly. 

Other  factories  which  are  at  work  are  "Romeo  y  Julieta", 
"Viuda  de  Jose  (iener".  "Partagas",  Castaneda",  "h'lor  de  P. 
A.  Estanillo",  "Por  Larranaga",  "Redencion",  "Carlos  E. 
Beck  &  Co.",  and  "Eigaro". 

Buying,  Sklmnc.  and  Othkr  Notks  of  Intkrkst. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzalez  sold  seven  hundred  bales  of 
"\'uelta  Abajo"  and  "Remedios". 

"El  Gran  Oton"  has  registered  2.000  bales  of  "Remedios" 
leaf  during  his  stay  here,  but  the  larger  part  of  his  purchases 
were,  however,  previous  contracts  made  already  last  year. 
Jose  C.  Puente  was  a  seller  of  600  bales  of  "X'uelta  .Xbajo". 
I*>ed  J.  Davis  has  made  (juite  some  purchases  for  their  well- 
known  "P'l  Sidelo"  factory  in  Tampa.  Jose  V.  Rocha  disi)osed 
of  555  bales  of  "\Hielta  Abajo".  The  Castaneda  factory  sent 
a  large  oil  painting  of  "Lady  Nicotine"  to  the  Buenos  Ayres 
Exposition,  and  which  original  water  color  production  has  been 
seen  here  all  over  town,  advertising  the  cigars  of  this  factory 
most  effectively. 

A.  Pazos  &  Co.  closed  out  432  bales  of  "Vuelta  Abajo" 
and  "Partido".  Menendez  &  Co.  purchased  for  their  cus- 
tomers 400  bales  of  "Remedios." 

Erne.st  Ellinger  &  Co.  sold  282  bales  of  all  kinds  of  leaf 
to  their  customers.  A.  Af.  Calzada  ik  Co.  made  some  good- 
.sized  shipments  per  steamers  "Havana"  and  "Saratoga".  Don 
Antonio  Calzado  was  all  over  the  "X'uelta  .Abajo"  region,  and 
is  said  to  have  made  some  large  ccMitracts  for  the  coming  crop 
to  be  delivered  as  soon  as  the  rainy  season  commences.  B. 
Diaz  &  Co.  were  sellers  of  300  bales  of  "X'uelta  Abajo"  and 
"Partido".  "Romeo  y  Julieta"  purchased  several  hundred 
bales  of  "Vuelta  Abajo".  Cardenas  &  Co.  sold  200  bales  of 
"X'uelta  Abajo". 

The  Erench  "Regie"  buyer  is  reported  to  have  closed 
.several  deals  of  fine  "\'uelta  Abajo"  vegas,  so  it  seems  the 
"Regie"  may  go  into  the  manufacture  of  Cuban  tobacco 
heavier  than  heretofore.  This  may  not  help  our  cigar  manu- 
facturers eventually,  as  the  duty  has  been  raised  507^?  on  the 
importation  of  cigars. 

Jorge  &  P.  Castaneda  sold  200  bales  of  "\'uelta  Abajo". 
They  intend  to  start  their    renowned  "San    Antonio    de    los 


Banos"  packing  about  the  middle  ni  this  month.  a>  tluv  have 
enough  tt)bacco  in  "pilon"  already.

Profitable  Experiments  of  Tobacco  Raising  in  Texas. 

The  visit  to  the  Government  I'.xperiment  b'arm  near 
.Nacogdoches.  Texas,  was  particularly  interesting  to  tho>e  dele- 
gates who  had  not  visited  the  tobacci.  fields  before.  The  farm 
consists  of  about  five  acres  and  the  land  is  leased  by  the  IV«I- 
eral  Government  for  experimental  purposes,  ami  in  this  work 
the  State  assists  financially. 

The  experiment  was  started  in  i(/)S  under  the  direction 
of  Otto  Olson,  of  the  United  States  Department  «»f  Agricul- 
ture. Mr.  Olson  has  cotitinued  conducting  experiments  in 
Texas  since  that  time  and  it  is  largely,  if  not  altogether,  the 
result  of  this  work  that  Nacogdoches  County  has  <leveloiK<l 
as  a  tobacco  producing  territorv. 

At  present  there  are  about  J(K)  acres  of  land  in  this  county 
under  tobacco  cultivation,  and  the  demand  greatly  exceeds  the 
supply.  There  is  an  immediate  market  for  all  the  tobacco  that 
can  be  produced,  and  those  who  have  raised  it  in  Texas  .say 
that  the  profits  are  large. 

Foreign  Tobacco  Experts  Arrive  in  Louisville. 

I\DL\ARIL\'  at  this  seaMUi  of  the  year  the  Louis- 
ville tobacco  market  produces  but  few  unusual  ha|)- 
penings  .  The  leading  authctrities  there  might  com- 
plain <»f  monotony  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  the 
approach  of  summer  always  brings  to  Louisville  experts  from 
all  <>ver  the  world,  representing  f()reign  governments,  who  |)ay 
annual  visits  to  Kentucky  with  a  view  to  familiarizing  them- 
selves with  the  tobacco  situation.  When  conditions  there  pre- 
sent a  favorable  asj)ect  some  large  tobacco  contracts  are  ma<le 
with  the  visitors. 

The  vanguard  of  the  f(»reign  representatives  aj)peared  in 
Louisville  about  the  middle  of  .\pril  in  the  [ktsou  of  Wallace 
X'anderloo.  who  journeyed  from  Belgium  to  visit  the  largest 
tobacco  market  in  the  world.  .Mr.  X'anderloo  studied  the  situ- 
ation carefully  for  some  time  and  renewe<l  many  old  ac<|uaint- 
ances  among  the  leading  tobacco  men.  lie  afterwards  de- 
parted for  Tennessee,  but  is  ex|)ected  to  return  to  Louisville 
before  he  sails  for  Lurope. 

.M.  Leheup  arrived  <luring  the  first  week  of  May.  repre-

Hartford  Cigar  Notes. 
A  City  of  Old  Brands  and  Long-Established  Houses. 

Hartford,  Conn.,  May  12th. 
ARTh'ORD,  the  capital  city  of  Connecticut,  is  notable 
for  its  many  old  established  business  houses.  Ihw 
cities  of  her  size  in  the  country  can  antedate  Hart- 
ford in  this  re.spect.  And  it  applies  to  the  cigar  trade 
«|uite  as  much  as  to  any  other  of  the  many  industries  of  this 
city. 

For  instance,  there  is  a  large  sale  to-day  for  the  "Original 
Crown  Jewel"  cigars,  ncnv  made  by  F.  H.  Crygier,  256  Asylum 
street,  and  which  was  originally  established  by  Benjamin  w'ood. 
His  picture  adoms  the  label.  Mr.  Wood  up  to  the  time  of  his 
death,  some  years  ago,  was  a  very  i)opular  man  in  Hartford, 
and  in  his  earlier  years  was  engaged  in  the  tobacco  business, 
having  entered  the  trade  as  an  employee  of  the  Lorrilard  to- 
bacco factory  at  Jersey  City,  N.  J.  Later  he  took  up  cigar 
manufacturing,  and  was  highly  successful. 

.Mr.  Crygier.  after  succeeding  to  the  business  very  wisely 
continued  the  brand  and  more  extensively  exploited  the  goods. 
There  is  now  a  more  extensive  call  for  the  brand  than  ever. 
It  is  a  Connecticut  broad  leaf  wra|)j)e(l  cigar,  .selling  at  10  cents. 
In  smoking  tobaccos  Mr.  Crygier  has  fcjllowed  up  the  same 
idea  r)f  perpetuation,  and  his  "Crown  Jewel"  cube  cut  is  a 
.standard.  The  goods  are  made  .specially  by  the  h\ilk  Tobacco 
Co.  of  New  York  and  Richmond,  and  an  idea  of  its  longevity 
may  be  obtained  from  the  following  story,  related  to  the  writer 
by  Mr.  Crygier: 

One  of  the  regular  patrons  of  the  establishment  was  house- 
cleaning,  and  since  he  had  been  saving  up  all  empty  tobacco 
cans,  and  had  accumulated  many  of  them,  which  were  offered 
to  Mr.  Crygier.  W  hen  they  were  brought  to  the  store  and 
counted  it  was  found  that  there  were  280. 

A  special  display  is  now  contemplated,  and  upon  which 
will  be  placed  suitable  placards,  which  will  no  doubt  prove  an 
effective  advertisement. 

The  old  manufacturing  firm  of  Leshke  &  Pletcher  con- 
tinue to  feature  their  "Roscdale"  10  cent  cigar  throughout  the 
city.  This  is  one  of  the  oldest  firms  in  the  Xew  England 
States. 

The  "Tirador",  Havana  cigars  made  by  .\.  S.  Valentine  & 
Son,  of  Philadelphia,  are  on  sale  here  among  dnig  stores,  etc. 

Nickel  cigars  are  not  popular  in  Hartford,  and  manu- 
facturers do  not  cater  very  strongly  to  nickel  trade,  because 
they  do  not  care  to  make  large  cjuantities  of  that  class  of 
goods,  owing  to  high  wages  of  labor  here. 

J.  J.  Doyle  &  Son,  cigar  manufacturers,  now  at  50  Union 
Place,  contemplate  soon  taking  larger  factory  (juarters.  They 
operate  a  union  factory. 

Charles  Soby.  than  whom  there  is  not  a  better  known 
manufacturer  in  Connecticut,  having  rid  his  stock  of  all  goods 
which  were  in  the  slightest  degree  affected  by  smoke,  caused 
by  a  fire  recently  in  the  building  adjoining  his  factory,  is  again 
prepared  to  supply  the  trade  with  fresh  stock.  The  Soby 
l)ro(luct  was  a  favorite  during  the  convention  of  leaf  men  held 
here  this  week. 

Among  the  oldest  exclusive  retail  dealers  in  Hartford  is 
the  firm  of  Solomon  &  De  Leeuw,  on  Asylum  street  near  Main, 
where  they  have  patrons  who  have  been  coming  to  this  store 
as  long  as  it  has  been  established. 

E.  A.  Bollinger,  representing  the  cigar  manufacturing  firm 
jf  F.  X.  Smith,  Son  &  Co.,  of  McSherrystown,  Pa.,  was  re- 
cently a  visitor  in  the  cigar  trade  here.

Cigar  Men  Booming  'Frisco  Exposition. 

Prominent  Merchants  Subscribe  to  Panama- Pacific  Show — The  Manila 

Trade. 

San  Francisco,  May  5,  1910. 
HE  attention  of  most  San  Franciscans  was  largely 
occupied  last  week  by  the  preliminary  steps  toward 
.securing  the  Panama-l'acific  Exposition,  to  be  held 
in  191 5,  for  this  city.  This  excitement  has  had  no 
noticeable  effect  either  way  on  the  cigar  business,  but  the  ex- 
position, if  held  here,  will  without  doubt  be  of  great  benefit  to 
the  trade,  and  the  cigar  men  have  been  liberal  contrilnitors. 
Most  of  the  $5,000,000  stock  of  the  exposition  has  alreadv 
been  subscribed,  and  many  important  interests  are  still  to  be 
heard  from.  H.  L.  Judell,  of  H.  L.  Judell  &  Co..  is  chairman 
of  the  committee  to  secure  subscriptions  from  the  cigar  trade 
and  tlie  commercal  travelers'  organization.  The  largest  indi- 
vidual contribution  was  that  of  M.  A.  Gunst  &  Co..  $25,000. 
but  the  Retail  Cigar  Dealers*  As.sociation  subscribed  a  similar 
amount. 

Local  retail  business  is  going  along  in  the  same  old  way, 
and  the  replacement  of  the  slot  machines  seems  as  far  away 
as  ever.  Some  of  the  larger  and  better  established  stores  are 
getting  a  fair  run  of  business,  and  tho.se  who  make  a  specialty 
of  the  box  trade  are  pretty  well  satisfied,  but  on  the  whole 
business  is  cjuiet.  Jobbers  are  still  getting  in  liberal  orders 
from  the  country,  but  some  easing  off  is  expected  before  long, 
as  the  warm  weather  is  beginning,  and  few  country  dealers  arc 
e(|uipped  to  keej)  a  large  stock  of  cigars  in  goo<l  condition  dur- 
ing the  summer  months.  From  all  indications,  however,  the 
consuming  demand  in  the  country  will  Ik'  well  sustained  all 
summer,  as  money  is  plentiful  and  i^ople  are  smoking  more 
and  better  cigars  than  in  former  years. 

L  Danziger,  the  San  hVancisco  cigar  broker,  was  one  of 
the  pioneers  in  the  Manila  business,  having  the  exclusive  repre- 
sentation of  the  La  Crania  Cigar  Factory,  Ltd.  He  states  that 
he  is  in  position  to  protect  jobbers  handling  any  of  his  brands 
in  any  territory,  and  accordingly  is  getting  some  large  orders 
from  dealers  on  the  Coast.  A  good  many  orders  are  so  far 
unfilled,  but  the  factory  is  now  making  large  shipments,  and 
expects  to  take  care  of  all  the  business  that  comes  in.  Mr.  Dan- 
ziger states  that  the  Manila  cigar  has  about  found  its  level  in 
this  market,  and  is  confident  that  it  will  find  a  much  greater 
demand  in  the  East  than  can  be  supplied,  though  it  will  be 
some  time  before  the  market  there  is  regularly  established. 

Herman  Moss,  of  the  S.  R.  Moss  Cigar  Company,  will 
make  a  trip  to  Los  Angeles  this  week  in  the  interest  of  his 
factory. 

S.  S.  Hirsch,  a  cigar  broker  representing  several  Eastern 
factories,  has  started  on  a  trip  through  the  Middle  West.  He 
has  added  to  his  samples  a  new  line  of  Manila  cigars,  on  which 
he  expects  good  returns. 

E.  C.  Bondy,  of  Bondy  &  Lederer,  after  a  week  in  this 
city,  made  a  short  visit  to  Los  Angeles,  accompanied  by  Mr. 
Dalton,  his  Western  representative.  He  is  now  in  this  city 
again,  and  will  leave  for  the  East  in  a  few  days.  He  expresses 
himself  as  well  pleased  with  his  trip  to  the  Coast,  and  con- 
siders the  outlook  in  the  general  cigar  business  very  bright. 
He  hopes  to  make  a  visit  to  this  territory  every  year  hereafter. 

H.  L.  Judell  &  Co.  are  greatly  encouraged  in  regard  to 
the  Manila  business.  They  will  get  a  large  shipment  May  I5tli, 
and  will  then  be  able  to  take  care  of  a  lot  of  back  orders. 

E.  M.  Elain,  Coast  representative  of  L  Lewis  &  Co.,  has 
just  returned  from  a  trip  East. 

Arnold  Pollak,  representative  of  the  El  Arte  Cigar  Com- 
pany, is  now  in  the  Kern  County  oil  fields,  where  he  has  an 
interest  in  a  new  well. 

M.  A.  Gunst  &  Co.  have  bought  out  the  cigar  stand  at  the 
St.  Francis  Hotel,  where  a  complete  stock  of  the  "staple"  lines 
has  been  installed. 


Herman  Kieser  has  added  the  adjoining  store  to  his  job- 
bing and  retail  place  nn  (  iohk-n  Gate  avenue,  near  hillniore 
street.     He  reports  a  lively  business  all  al»»ng  the  line. 

Sigmuiid  C  alien.  wli».  ha«^  been  prominent  in  retail  cigar 
circles  since  the  times  before  the  fire,  has  i.pened  a  haiulsome

"Owls"  also  continue  to  be  large  seller-.  The  c<.m|)anv  is  well 
satisfied  with  its  Manila  business.  It  has  been  doing  some  w«»rk 
on  these  goods  in  a  joi»bing  way,  and  the  demand  f(»r  the  Jive- 
cent  .Manilas  has  been  extremely  stntng.  lioth  in  the  wholesale 
and  retail  dej)artments. 

Joe  iiou(|uet,  formerly  of  the  l'.ou(|uet-Colin  Cigar  Com- 
|)any.  which  for  several  years  conducte<l  a  local  jobbing  \u*\\^c 
and  a  chain  of  retail  stores,  is  opening  a  new  store  at  the  corner 
of  liattery  and  .Market  streets.  The  chain  of  stores  is  now  in 
charge  of  .Mr.  Colin. 

The  last  l(>t  ni  .Manila  cigars  arrived  .May  1st.  The  last 
few  shipments  have  been  s(. mewl. at  lighter  than  those  received 
earlier  in  the  year,  and  there  are  some  indications  that  the  rush 
of  gotids  to  this  country  will  be  less  active  from  now  ••n.  as 
imi)orters  are  getting  more  particular.  The  last  lot  consisle<i 
largely  of  clieaj)  goods,  mostly  for  the  Western  trade.  Castle 
Bros.-Wolf  tS:  Sons  are  sliii)ping  a  good  many  cigars  to  New

month  of  .April  during  last  year  show  an  increase  of  5.7<»7.47o 
cigars.  In  little  cigars  there  was  also  an  increase  in  the  pro- 
duction of  more  than  two  and  a  half  million,  while  in  cigarettes 
it  is  shown  that  there  was  a  gain  of  6,500,000,  and  in  manu- 
factured tobacco  a  gain  of  24,0(X)  |)ounds.  In  the  production 
of  snuff,  however,  there  was  a  decline  of  some  57.(xx)  pounds, 
as  compared  with  the  corresponding  period  of  last  year.  The 
rather  remarkable  increase  in  the  cigarette  production  is  at- 
tributed by  cigarette  manufacturers  to  the  change  in  the  In- 
ternal Revenue  tax  which  goes  into  effect  on  July  first,  and 
it  appears  that  dealers  are  stocking  up  more  heavily.  .At 
any  rate,  the  .April  figures  make  a  most  satisfactory  showing 
and  are  encouraging  to  all  branches  of  the  industry.

Additional  Machinery  for   Block  Brothers. 

.\t  the  very  extensive  tobacco  manufacturing  establishment 
of  the  \\\(Kk  I'.rotliers  Tobacco  Company,  at  Wheeling,  W.  Va., 
experiments  have  been  in  progress  for  the  past  year  on  several 
filling,  packing  and  stamping  machines,  and  have  now  been 
proven  successful.  It  is  understood  that  the  firm  has  given  an 
order  for  forty  of  these  machines,  which  will  l)e  installed  as 
soon  as  they  can  be  made  by  the  factory  in  Xew  York  State, 
'i'his  may  mean  a  reduction  in  the  number  of  employees  re- 
quired to  properly  conduct  the  factory,  but  it  will  lii^-ely  also 
increase  the  production  or  output  of  the  factory,  and  enable  the 
firm  to  meet  the  growing  demand  for  their  popular  "Mail 
Pouch*'  and  other  brands  of  manufactured  tobacco. 

They  also  announce  that  following  their  established  cus- 
tom they  commenced  on  the  first  of  May  to  give  their  em- 
ployees a  half  holiday  on  .Saturday,  and  that  this  will  be  con- 
tinued until  late  in  September. 

A  New  York  Slate  Chain. 

.\  new  concern  to  o|)erate  a  chain  of  stores  in  Xew  York

"Optimo"  dear  Havana  cigar,  made  by  A.  Santaella  y  Ca.,  of 
'laini)a  and  Xew  York,  for  ( Jreater  Chicago.  The  Santaella 
product  is  a  very  important  factor  in  Chicago,  and  both  the 
makers  and  the  distributors  are  to  be  congratulated  upon  the 
new  arrangement.  An  aggressive  advertising  campaign  lias 
been  launched  which  will  still  further  helj)  to  give  the  brand  a 
lively  run. 

Noted  Visitor  in  Colorado  Springs. 

R.  C.  Christy,  of  the  American  Tobacco  Company,  of  New 
^ork.  accompanied  by  his  secretary,  passed  through  Colorado 
Springs,  (olo.,  on  a  Western  sightseeing  and  business  tour 
During  their  visit  to  Colorado  Springs  they  called  on  the 
Shields-Morley  (irocery  Omipany,  who  are  extensive  handlers 
of  "American"  products,  and  were  entertained  during  their 
visit  by  I  Resident  Metzler,  of  the  companv,  and  (leorge  H. 
.Shields.  They  were  taken  on  an  auto  ridJ  through  .some  of 
the  Pike's  I'eak  country.  Dame  rumor  has  liad  it  that  the  real 
mission  of  the  Xew  Yorkers  was  the  possible  establishment  of 
local  branches  of  the  Cnite.l  Cigar  Stores  Company,  but  Mr. 
Metzler  announces  that  such  rumors  are  without  any  basis  of 
fact. 

Mr.  jol.n  I.  Mau.ser  is  planning  the  erection  of  a  cigar 
factory  at  Sabford.  I'la.  Mr.  Mauser  has  been  in  the  cigar 
business  in  1  ampa  for  the  pa.st  ten  years,  under.stands  it  thor- 
oughly and  promises  to  give  the  trade  the  best  cigar  on  the 
market. 

It  is  understood  the  new  factory  will  be  located  in  the 
C  lark  Piuilding. 

The  Tobacco  Protective  Association,  of  Clarksville,  Tenn 
seems  to  be  a  live  body,  full  of  .schemes  for  the  benefit  of  the 
industry,  and  fond  of  rousing  meetings  at  which  much  is  done 
and  said.

Revenue  Reports  Show  Progress. 

Larger    Factories    Busiest— Manufacturer's  Alleged    Embezzlement- 
Former  Leaf  Man  Visits  Local  Traders. 

L.wcA.STKK.  IV\..  Afay  12th. 

II  L  report  of  the  internal  Revenue  Collector  has  been 
(|uite  satisfactory  to  local  manufacturers,  but  the 
industry  is  not  yet  showing  the  progress  which  it 
should.  riie  larger  factories  seem  to  l)c  liaving  a 
fairly  good  business,  and  this  may  be  attributed  to  their  own 
energy  more  than  to  any  natural  increase  in  the  demand  for 
goods.  There  are.  however,  iudicatit. us  that  as  the  year  pro- 
gresses still  further  along  better  gains  will  be  shown.  The 
general  conditions  of  the  business  of  the  country  would  seem 
to  indicate  the  likelihood  of  a  greater  participation  in  the  busi- 
ness revival  by  the  cigar  manufacturers. 

S.  .M.  (  )ttinger.  <»f  the  tirm  of  Mitchell  cS:  ( )ttiiiger.  has 
been  making  a  tour  through  .Xew  NOrk  and  the  Xew  i'Jiglaud 
.States  with  considerable  success  in  placing  their  I'Morida  to- 
baccos. 

Several  local  leaf  tobacco  men  are  somewhat  incensed  at 
current  rumors  that  they  were  largely  interested  this  vear  in 
^'ork  County  tobacco,  when  the  statements  cauiKtt  be  substan- 
tiated b\  facts.  There  is  a  sale  for  all  the  ^'ork  C'ountv  to- 
bacco that  was  grown,  but  some  of  our  local  packers  are  simply 
not  interested  in  that  type  of  leaf  and  are  neither  buyers  nor 
handlers  of  it  in  any  way. 

The  cigar  box  industry  in  this  ctiy  at  the  i)resent  time 
seems  t  >  be  fairly  good  and  tlir  several  box  factories  here  are 
linding  enough  work  to  keep  their  usual  t'orces  jjretty  steadily 
employed. 

TliC  .S.  1\.  .Moss  Cigar  Company  were  recently  the  re- 
cipients of  some  good-sized  orders  for  the  "\'A  .Mosico"  cigars,

Moss,  of  this  liouse,  is  now  on  an  extended  trip  through  the 
S<»ulh. 

As  was  stated  in  our  previous  corresi)ondence,  the  leaf  to-

the  management  of  his  son.  ilaldy  .Miller,  who  has  virtually 
l)een  conducting  the  same  for  the  past  two  years  of  his  father's 
illness. 

An  action  was  recentlv  brought  in  the  Quarter  Sessions 
Court  by  .\.  1*..  Levenite,  a  cigar  manufacturer,  against  Charles 
Katz,  charging  (.mbezzlement  of  several  sums  of  money  aggre- 
gating .S52S.  Mr.  Katz.  who  was  formerly  a  salesman  (or 
Levenite.  it  was  alleged  by  the  plaintiff,  had  collected  various 
sums  from  customers  and  api)ropriate(l  same  to  his  own  use. 
'i'he  defendant,  however,  claimed  that  when  he  left  the  employ 
of  the  plaintilt'  a  balance  was  (\i\i:  him  for  salary  and  commis- 
sions. Jle  was  exonerated  by  the  jury  and  the  co.sts  of  the 
suit  were  divided  between  the  two  litigants.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


NEW  YORK. 

Nkw  York  City. 

Till",  iiioiiili  {)(  May  lias  thus  far  shown  a  favorable  contrast  as  com- 
|Mrt<l  with  the  volume  of  husiness  during  April,  which  is  pro- 
verhially  a  dtill  month  in  the  leaf  trade,  and  its  former  records 
of  dullness  were  this  year  fully  maintained  to  the  very  end  of  the 
month.  At  the  close  of  April,  however,  there  were  some  indications 
of  a  possible  improvement  and  this  has  since  come  to  pass.  During 
the  past  two  weeks  the  market  has  livened  up  very  considerably. 
Transactions  have  been  more  frequetit,  and  of  larger  volume  than  had 
been  the  rule  for  some  months  i)revious,  and  as  a  result  hundreds  of 
cases  of  domestic  leaf  tobacco,  representing^  both  fdlcr  and  binder  stock, 
liave  changed  hands.  It  would  stem  that  manufacturers  have  taken 
warning  from  recent  nports  from  growing  sections  amiouncing  dam- 
ag«s  t<t  pl.int  beds,  which  will  at  least  have  the  effect  of  producing  a 
I.ite  crop  .'ind  j)rob.dily  a  short  one.  too.  Coupled  with  the  facts  that 
tlir  i<;o<;  crops  were  so  short  in  several  of  the  leaf  growing  St.ites  ;i 
rising  market  has  been  createfl,  and  its  coiuinuance  w«»uld  necess.irily 
bring  .m  .idvance  in  prices.  'I'he  leaf  dealer  has  very  effectively  argued 
tli.it  then-  will  yet  conu-  a  rush  for  goods  .and  th.it  those  who  do  not 
buy  ;i!  present  m;iy  lind  ni.irkit  conditi<ins  very  different  and  will 
prolMl)ly  li.ive  to  p.iy  ;i  coimnensurate  advance  if  their  re<|uirements  can 
be  supplied  at  all. 

I  In-  binder  and  lilKr  slock  is  not  over  .ibund.mt  and  was  again 
considerably  depleted  during  the  past  fortnight.  There  never  yet  was 
;i  time  when  ;in  .idv.ince  in  prices  did  not  follow  a  very  pr<Jtracted 
piriod  of  dnlhuss  in  the  domestic  market. 

I  he  .Snm.itra  market  was  one  of  the  most  active  branches  of  the 
leaf  tr.ide,  and  transactions  were  divided  among  both  old  and  new 
goods,  despite  the  re|>orts  circulated  .md  which  were  not  favorable  to 
the  offirings  of  i«/x>  tob.icco,  good  progress  is  still  being  made  in  its 
sale,  an<l  it  will  be  remembered  that  the  purchases  of  new  goods  have 
thus  f.ir  been  comp.ir.itively  small.  (  )ld  goods  have  als«)  come  in  for  a 
goo<||y  share  of  attention,  .md  purchases  have  been  again  made  in  Larger 
•  lu.inlities.  .As  a  result  the  present  sui)j)Iy  (»f  both  old  .and  new  goods 
has  been  very  heavily  reduced,  and  with  a  continue<l  good  output  <»f 
cigars  m.muf.iclurers  will  necess.irily  soon  ag.iin  riml  themselves  in 
need  of  .idditiitn.il  supplies.  Present  indications  certainly  do  not  point 
to  any  likelihood  of  a  recession  in  prices. 

In  ll.iv.in.i  tobacco  a  moder.ate  .imoimt  of  business  only  is  reported 
to  have  bien  <|one.  Manuf.icturers  h.ive  bien  buying  in  .i  small  way. 
but  no  transactions  of  spici.il  noteworthiness  h.ive  been  .imioimced. 
Operations  in  Cuba  are  delayed,  owing  to  unf.ivor.ible  weatlier,  an<l 
while  .1  few  rains  have  f.illen  recently  they  were  insufficient  for  the 
urgent  nei-ds  of  the  tobacco  men  and  t<»  put  the  leaf  in  condition  to 
be  taken  from  the  pole.

BrSl.\h..SS  in  the  le.if  tobacco  trade  continues  to  improve  encourag- 
ingly and  considerable  <|u.intities  of  le.if  h.ive  changed  hands  here 
within  the  past  two  weeks,  hupiiries  also  continue  to  come  in 
more  strongly  with  a  greater  willingness  being  shown  by  manufacturers 
t(»  look  c.irefiilly  «»ver  the  offerings  now  being  m.ide.  A  visitor  from 
a  marby  p.icking  center  s|>oke  most  sanguinely  of  the  prospect  of  some

Both  Connecticut  and  Ohio  t»»I);icc(»s,  as  well  as  IVnnsylv.inia  and  Wis- 
consin, were  important  factors  in  the  domestic  leaf  m.irket.  The 
.supply  of  both  binder  ;ind  filler  goods  is  being  visibly  depleted,  and 
this  fact  is  causing  the  leaf  men  some  little  anxiety  to  be  able  to  meet 
the  tlemands  which  may  uliim.itely  be  m.ide  for  this  type  of  goods 
before  the  new  crops  are  market.iblc. 

The  Smn.itr.i  market  in  this  city  has  been  normal  and  stocks  of 
both  old  and  new  goods  have  found  some  sale.  A  com|)aratively  small 
amount  of  new  tobaccos  have  been  purchased  by  IMiiladeluhia  houses, 
.md  who  h.ive  confined  their  «)piT;itions  more  jj.irticul.irly  to  old  goods. 
Recently  some  offerings  of  some  new  imj)ort;itions  h.ive  attr.icted  atten- 
tion auKMig  leaf  jobbers  here  and  it  is  not  impossible  that  in  the  near 
future  some  interesting  amiouncements  may  be  made. 

The  ll.ivan.i  m.irket  is  re|)orted  r.ither  dull  so  far  as  immediate 
s.iK  s  are  concenu*!.  There  is  every  indication  that  m.imif.icturers  are 
using  consider.ible  (ju.mtities  of  gttods,  but  they  appe.ir  to  be  simply 
ordering  out  from  the  warehouses  purch.ises  that  they  had  made  pre- 
viously. They  are  not  lodging  any  particul.ir  compl.iint  against  present 
prices,  but  they  simiily  .ippe.ir  to  be  not  in  the  market  ifor  additional 
supplies  .If  the  present  time.  To  be  sure  there  are  sales  being  made 
constantly,  but  they  are  not  of  stich  a  nature  .is  to  char.icteri/e  .m  active 
market. 


Lancaster. 

No  i)articular  activity  has  developed  in  this  market  for  old  goods, 
although  it  is  reported  from  jobbing  centers  that  a  somewhat  larger 
volume  of  business  has  receinly  been  done,  l^jcal  manufacturers  have 
been  making  some  i)urchases  in  this  m.irket  for  early  needs  but  even 
these  transactions  have  been  tempered  with  great  moileration,  and  only 
such  amounts  were  taken  as  could  be  utilized  at  an  early  date.  The 
opinion  seems  prevalent  amonj^r  m.mufacturers  that  market  conditions 
will  become  in  the  course  of  tune  more  favorable  to  them.  While  on 
the  other  hand  packers  are  fully  sanguine  and  expect  further  advances 
m  prices. 

Much  attention  is  being  directed  to  the  ](^x)  crops,  of  which  only 
.ibout  j-^'/o  or  less  still  remain  in  farmers'  hands,  and  as  a  matter  of 
fact  an  .actual  scramble  has  been  (tn  for  the  past  two  weeks  among 
several  p.ickers  to  procure  th.it  2^%.  There  was  considerable  antipathy 
against  the  i(/x;  goods,  but  lately  it  seems  that  a  number  of  packers 
have  changed  their  opinions,  and  have  not  only  become  more  favorably 
disposed  towards  that  crop,  but  have  actually  entered  into  the  race  for 
a  supply  of  it.  During  the  sweating  |)rocess  it  was  developed  that 
there  w.is  .imple  heat  in  the  new  crop,  in  fact  some  of  the  earlier  de- 
liveries which  were  sweated  in  bulk  showed  r.ither  too  much  heat,  a 
condition  that  was  not  expected  when  the  tobacco  was  purchased.  The 
belief  is  growing  very  r.ipidly  here  th.it  the  u/cnj  tobacco  will  be  in 
good  dem.mtl,  with  a  return  of  more  prosperous  times  in  the  cigar 
industry. 

Til  York. 

l.ocal  tobacco  men  have  noted  .some  improvement  in  trade  condi- 
tions during  this  month,  the  manufacturing  industry  has  improved 
somewhat  and  consequently  the  leaf  man  is  linding  a  more  ready  sale 
for  his  offerings  of  leaf.  No  material  change  in  prices  has  been  noted, 
but  a  l.irger  V(dumc  of  business  would  at  least  bring  about  a  greater 
degree  of  contentment.  Our  local  hou.ses  are.  however,  not  confined  to 
local  terriKjry,  and  not  a  few  of  them  are  finding  a  major  portion  of 
their  business  a  considerable  distance  away  from  home.  York  seems 
to  have  adv.mtages  in  the  handling  of  tobacco  which  enables  local 
p.ickers  to  successfully  meet  the  competition  of  larger  packing  centers, 
consequently  our  houses  are  constantly  branching  out  into  newer  terri- 
tory.

llie  le.if  tobacco  men  of  this  city  recently  participated  in  greater 
business  activity,  .'md  one  of  the  largest  packing  houses  here  will  this 
year  have  one  of  the  largest  packings  of  IVnnsylvania  leaf  that  it  has 
\  ever  put  up.  In  the  tobaccos  of  other  Stales,  however,  this  house  will 
not  play  so  important  a  f).irt  this  year,  preferring  to  concentrate  its 
attintion  more  fully  to  the  1909  crops  of  IVnnsylvania  broad  leaf  and 
Havana  seed.  A  moderate  volume  of  business  has  been  done  with 
local  m.muf.iclurers. 


NEW  ENGLAND. 

AAf/^niUA'l-l'  .        r    1        •  .  H.\RTFORD,    CoNN. 

AlODl'.KA  I  b,  amount  of  business  is  reported  in  the  leaf  trade. 
Soine  buying  is  still  being  done,  but  it  is  not  proceeding  as 
r.ipidly  as  one  might  have  expected  that  it  would  at  this  late 
date.  Sorting  of  deliveries  thus  far  made  to  warehouses  is  now  pretty 
well  cleaned  up,  and  it  is  probably  fortunate  for  the  packers  that  this 
IS  so,  because  farmers  are  much  in  need  of  all  the  help  they  can  get  in 
their  preparations  for  a  new  crop.  Tobacco  beds  are  looking  fairly 
well,  but  they  have  needed  water,  and  not  all  tobacco  growers  have  been 
pr(.i)erly  e(|uipped  to  supply  it.  b'or  this  purpose  stand  pipes  and  hose 
are  being  extensively  used  and  the  system  has  reduced  the  labor  very 
greatly. 

c,  ....  North  IlATFiELn,  Mass. 

Some  buying  is  still  going  on,  but  low  grade  lots  have  been  left 
at  prices  as  low  as  6  and  7  cents.  One  New  Yf)rk  house  is  having  a 
l(.t  of  I5()  cases  assorted  and  packed  at  this  point.  The  only  difficulty 
standing  in  the  way  is  the  help  proposition. 

e  ,  ,      ,  Montague,  Mass. 

Several  tons  of  tobacco  have  been  bought  in  this  section  at  from 
8  to  10',^  cents  in  the  bundle,  and  we  learn  of  several  other  crops  having 
been  purchased  at  as  low  as  7I/2  cents.  The  latter  crops,  however,  were 
rather  heavy,  dark  goods,  and  about  the  l.ist  to  be  left  in  the  towns 
from  which  they  were  procured. 

Litchfield  County.  Conn. 
Tobacco  crops  of  this   section   have  been   sold  at   low  prices,  and 
which  ranged   fropi  6  to   10  cents  per  pound.     Most    of    the    tobaccos 
raised  in  this  section,  have,  however,  been  purchased.

OHIO. 

T...  ,       .        ,  ,  MlAMISBURG. 

Ih  leaf  tobaccr)  market  here  has  been  r.ither  dull,  and  comparativelv 
few  s.iles  have  been  reported  during  the  past  two  weeks,  althtnigh 
prices  have  not  been  materially  .ilTected.  Reports  continue  to  come 
in  of  damage  to  seed-beds,  which  was  occasioned  by  the  recent  ex- 
tremely cool  weather,  but  farmers  .ire  m.iking  .ictive  preparations  for 
setting  out  crops  of  at  least  normal  acreage  this  vear  again.  Ware- 
house work  for  this  season  has  been  pr.ictically  coinpleted. 

WISCONSIN. 

LOCAL  tradesmen  say  that  more  normal  conditions  are  again  pre- 
vailing, and  the  trade  is  gradually  reg.iining  itself  from  the 
chaotic  conditions  produced  by  recent  and  severe  frosts.  In  fact, 
the  storms  were  of  blizzard-like  proportions  when  snows  were  followed 
by  heavy  freezing  weather,  during  which  the  tobacco  beds  in  the 
northern  tier  of  counties  were  severely  damage<l,  and  even  those  in  the 
southern  section  of  the  State  suffered  to  some  extent,  but  not  so  irre- 
parably. 

There  a|)pears  to  be  less  activity  in  field  operations  and  the  buying 
movement  in  procuring  last  season's  crop  h.is  slacke<l  .iw.iy  somewhat. 
Prices  have  not  been  very  greatly  affected.  One  important  sale  of  500 
cases  of  '07  tobacco  was  reported  here  recently. 

A  .shortage  in  help  still  seriously  cripples  w.irelunise  operations, 
and  is  likely  to  prolong  the  packing  period  until  well  in  the  summer. 


Tobacco  Monopoly  in  France. 

Late  Import  and  Export  Figures. 

T  is  pretty  well  kti<nv!i  that  r>ance  obtains  a  vast 
aniount  of  its  revenue  from  its  nioiioix)ly  on  tobacco. 
Like  the  people  of  every  other  country.  I'Venchnien 
love  tobacco  and  they  use  it   freely.     Discerning  this 

the  ( iovernnient  puts  its  mailed  hand  on  the  weed  and  every 

tiser  becomes  a  taxpayer. 

The  recent  official  figures  show  the  United  States 
to  be  the  chief  .source  of  sui>ply  for  the  tobacco  of  France; 
in  fact  we  export  to  France  nearly  as  much  as  to  all  other 
countries  put  together. 

In  1909  the  special  imports  of  cigarettes  in  France 
amounted  to  85  metric  tons,  showing  a  decrease  somewhat  as 
compared  with  the  two  years  previous.  As  to  the  (|uantity  of 
cigarettes  comprised  in  a  metric  ton,  we  have  no  means  at 
hand  of  ascertaining. 

Cigars  are  easier  tabulated  and  the  (|uantity  entered  for 
consumption  in  1909  was  i2.()OC)/yoo.  That  cigar  smoking  has 
diminished  enormously  within  the  four  years  past  is  evident 
from  the  fact  that  in  1907  the  (|uantity  entered  for  consumj)- 
tion  was  17.^)75.300  aiul  in  nyoH  k), 2(^)7, ocxy.  The  decrease  for 
i()OC)  as  compared  with  1908,  6,357,400.  A  shrinkage  so  ex- 
traordinary woidd  indicate  greatly  decreased  purchasing  power, 
if  not  a  partial  conclusion  among  the  people  to  almost  cease 
the  use  of  cigars. 

The  Director  General  responsible  for  tobacco  statistics  has 
lately  stated  the  total  purchase  of  tobacco  for  n)o^  to  have 
been  ^}C),2(k),^^o:  profits  of  the  ("lovernment  monopoly  for 
K>o8,  .^75,218,855,  the  profits  being  $661,604  more  for  1909 
than  for  1908. 

The  sale  of  manufactured  tobacco  in  France  during  1907 
was  39.900  metric  tons  and  in  i(>o8,  40,289  n^etric  tons.  1  he 
show'ing  is  that  the  Government  has  increased  its  profits  in  the 
pa.st  two  or  three  years,  (lesj)ite  the  big  drop  in  the  sales  of 
cigars.  What  are  known  as  Scaferlatis  and  cigarettes  selling 
at  from  $4.80  to  $6.00  per  thousand,  foreign  made  cigarettes 
and  ninas.  have  been  responsible  for  the  increase  in  tobacco 
consumption.  The  average  consumj)tion  per  capita  in  France 
is  36.11  ounces,  viz.  31.84  ounces  for  smoking  and  chewing 
tobacco,  and  4.27  ounces  of  tobacco  in  powder. 

In  Brittany  tobacco  chewing  is  popular;  in  Normandy 
and  Anjou  .snuff  is  affected,  while  the  departments  of  Seine 
and  Rouches-du-Rhone  get  away  with  most  of  the  cigars  and 
cigarettes. 

The  number  of  tobacco  stores  in  France  iti  1908  was 
47.447  and  the  average  profits  of  the  retailers  for  the  entire 
year  amounted  per  capita  to  $164.43.

The  good  people  opixisite  Fvansville.  Iiul.,  have  been  ex-

up  ten  acres  or  luore  of  ground  clirectly  across  the  ( )iiio  from 
Evansville.  Ten  acres  were  recently  soM  and  an  option  taken 
on  90  acres  more  by  J.  A.  Brown,  who  is  stated  to  be  an  agent 
for  an  independent  tobacco  manufacturing  companv.  He 
plans  to  dyke  up  the  lands,  which  are  subject  to  overflow,  to 
build  a  tobacco  factory  and  houses  for  his  hands.  There  are 
other  rumors  which  are  causing  much  talk  at  Fvansville  and 
about. 


"Tobaclcts,  Inc."  is  the  rather  fanciful  name  of  a  new

$22,000.00.  He  secured,  he  says,  $2o8,(xx)  in  subscriptions  for 
the  cafe  and  spent  .$5,000  of  his  own  cash  in  promoting.  lie,

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
^^  ^Q  pgf  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 
tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach  them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 

Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ?  Send  for  advertising  rates.

TI  IF.  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Are  You  a  Live  Wire  ? 


No  matter  how  strong  an  electric  wire  may  be,  it  is  dead  and  useless  until 
charged  with  that  powerful  and  mysterious  fluid  which  gives  it  life  and 
vitality. 

Mr.  Manufacturer,  you  will  also  find  that  it  takes  such  a  current  to  vitalize 
your  business,  spread  your  name  before  thousands  of  prosperous 
customers,  advertise  your  products  and  open  new  accounts. 

The  new  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  supply  this  galvanic  force  for  you. 

Since  the  new  management  has  taken  hold  of  this  magazine,  you  have  seen 
the  physical  changes  in  its  make-up,  editorial  treatment  and  general 
tone.     The  new  WORLD  speaks  for  itself  in  that  respect. 

But  do  you  know  how  fast  the  WORLD'S  circulation  has  been  growing  ? 
We  have  compiled  statistics  from  our  books  which  show  a  net  gain 
of  20  per  cent,  in  circulation  for  the  first  five  weeks  in  the  new  year. 
The  new  subscribers  are  scattered  over  every  state  in  the  Union,  with  New 
York,  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  Illinois,  Michigan  and  California  in  the  lead. 

Every  one  of  these  new  subscribers  is  either  a  big  retailer,  jobber,  or  manu- 
facturer— every  one  a  possible  customer  for  some  live  house  in  the 
tobacco  trade. 

Do  you  want  to  reach   them  ? 

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD  will  bring  you  before  them,  help  your 
salesmen  reach  them  and  supply  that  electric  spark  which  starts 
business  a  humming. 


Shall  we  turn  on  the  current  ?

Is  Porto  Rican  Tobacco 
Suitable  for  High  Grade 
Cigars } 

Who  is  (|u;)lified  to  ansver  this  (iiiestiori?  .Surely  the 
niamifacturers  of  cigars  in  the  United  State.s  are  as  well  (juaii- 
fied  as  any  one  to  judjje.  According  to  U.  S.  Government 
reports,  there  was  importe''  last  year  :{,0<'):{,7«;i  lbs.  of  Porto 
Kican  tobacco  at  an  average  price  of  %  .;>»)«)7  per  lb.  To  this 
must  be  added  freight  and  profit,  bringing  the  cost  per  lb. 
up  to  very  near  the  average  cpst  of  Havana  tobacco  in  Cuba 
If  Porto  Kican  tobacco  goes  into  "2  for  '.oc",  "I'jc"  and  "20c" 
goods  and  improves  the  cigar,  why  not  come  to  head<|uarlers 
and  use  it  straight  ?

The  whole  country  is  again  base  ball  wild.     They  enjoy  the  world  and  the  best  of  what  it  affords. 

That  includes  PULLIAM  Cigars,  selling  at  five  cents. 

PULLIAM   Cigars  are  made  in   full    Reina   Victoria    shape,    and   contain    just  enough  HAVANA  to  give  thtm 
pronounced  aroma,  and  just  enough  domestic  leaf  to  make  them  very  mild. 

An  impartial  trial  will  convince  you  that  the  PULLIAM  Cigars  are  just  what  you  want  in   your  stock.    ^Through 
our  advertising  campaign  they  have  been  placed  in  eleven  cities  in  the  Central  West. 

For  the  benefit  of  our  distributors  we  supply  them  plentifully  with  advertising  matter,  appropriate  to  the  brand  of  Cigars 
and  the  season,  for  distribution  among  retailers  for  dressing  display  windows,  to  create  larger  sales  of  PUi-^L[AM  Cigars.

the  ordinary  smoking  tobacco  i)f  the  people,  is  to  be  sold  in 
future  at  one  franc  the  packet,  instead  of  80  centimes.  This 
is  exactly  $2  a  pound.  Twenty  centime  (4-cent)  cigars  are 
raised  to  25  centimes  (5  cents);  5c)-centime  ( lo-cent )  cigars 
to  fe  centimes  (  12  cents),  Russian  cigarettes  that  have  s«)ld 
at  I  franc  50  centimes  (30  cents)  the  box  will  hereafter  cost 
2  francs  25  centimes,  or  45  cents.  And  so  on  through  the  line, 
with  some  trilling  exceptions. 

The  cause  for  tliis  advance  in  the  price  is  attributed  to 
the  deficit  in  the  I*>ench  national  finance,  and  as  the  income 
from  the  tax  levied  on  tobacco  forms  one  of  the  most  impor- 
tant sources  of  revenue,  naturally  it  i^  this  commodity  which 
is  expected  to  bear  the  additional  burden  of  increasing  the 
income. 

In  further  connection  with  the  advance  in  the  prices  of 
tobacco,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  tlie  h'rench  custom  author- 
ities have  instigatetl  most  rigorous  examination  for  tobacco, 
cigars,  cigar^es,  etc.,  brought  into  I'rance,  and  whereas  trav- 
elers were  formerly  allowed  to  enter  the  country  with  as  high 
as  30  cigars,  or  75  to  100  cigarettes,  so  long  as  they  were 
declared  for  personal  consumi)tion,  the  system  now  in  vogue 
permits  only  10  cigars,  20  cigarettes  and  i  1-3  ounce  tobacco 
for  male  ])assengers  oidy.  Women  and  children  are  positively 
|)rohibited  from  bringing  in  any  tobacco  at  all  and  heavy  fines 
are  inflicted  for  any  attempt  or  supix)sc(l  attempt  at  smuggling. 

The  writer  recalls  vividly  his  own  unpleasant  experience 
at  the  French  lx>rder  two  years  since,  when  a  few  hundred 
Turkish  cigarettes  were  seized  and  a  fine  of  600  francs  levied, 
even  after  the  declaration  had  been  made. 

A  recent  rei)ort  from  Faris  states  that  the  I'Venchmen  are 
very  bitter  against  the  Chancellor  of  the  hLxcheciuer  for  this 
added  tax  on  t(jbacco  and  cigars,  and  that  they  are  now  forming 
a  "National  Smoker's  Defense  League."  which  will  aim  directly 
at  the  consumption  of  higher  grades  of  tobacco  and  agitate  for 
a  reduction  in  the  prices.  Members  of  the  league  have 
pledged  themselves  to  smoke  only  the  cheapest  cai)oral  cigar- 
ettes, which  were  not  afifected  by  the  recent  advance  in  cost, 
and  the  outcome  will  be  watched  with  interest. 

Joseph  Robinson,  manager  of  the  cigar  department  of 
Thomas  Martindale  &  Co.,  Market  and  Tenth  streets,  Phila- 
delphia, made  a  fortunate  move  when  he  secured  for  his  firm 
the  sole  right  to  distribute  the  "Lord  Montan"  cigar,  hereto- 
fore sold  by  E.  G.  Steane  &  Co.,  who  recently  retired  from 
business.  The  cigar  is  an  ambassador  sha[)e  and  sells  for  five 
cents.  The  Steane  Company  sold  thousands  of  them  every 
month  and  built  up  a  steady  demand  for  them.  Martin<lale's 
being  situated  close  by,  has  naturally  gathered  in  much  of  the 
trade  on  this  cigar.  The  Martindale  store  also  handles  ex- 
tensively all  the  Regensburg  goods  and  Cuesta,  Rey  &  Co.'s  full 
line. 


To  Curtail  Production  of  Manila  Cigars. 

Factories  Agree  to  Shut  Down  for  Two  Months  to  Effect  Reajustment 

of  Stocks. 
I  w      lA  IT',  advices  received  from  Manila  in  San  l-'rancisco 
I  \^  1     and  New  York  L  ity,  stale  tlial  it  has  been  virtually 
QSjQ     agreed  l)y  the  members  of  the  Manila   Tobacco  As- 
"""  sociation  to  shut  down  all  the  leading  cigar  manu- 

factories for  a  period  of  two  months. 

The  oi)ject  of  this  extraordinary  move  is  U^  curtail  the 
production  and  prevent  a  glut  of  Manila  goods  in  the  L'nited 
.States  markets,  as  well  as  to  bring  about  a  readjustment  of 
all  the  stcKks  now  on  hand.  Although  there  is  a  vast  ami>unt 
of  manufactured  cigars  in  Manila  to-day  ready  for  ship- 
ment, it  is  d«>ublful  it  tile  sup[)ly  on  hand  will  meet  the  con- 
sumpticjn  in  the  United  States  markets  during  the  period  of 
idleness.  The  result  will  be  that  tlie  goods  in  stock  in  the 
l'nited  States  will  be  cleaned  out  pretty  well  by  the  time 
shipments  are  resumed  from  the  Philippines. 

When  the  new  goods  begin  to  go  out,  it  is  hoped  by  the 
exporters  to  cnnTme  them  strictly  ti»  the  percentage  basis 
fixed  by  the  Manila  Tobacco  .\ssociation,  viz.:  15%  low- 
grade,  50%  medium  and  359©  high  grade.  Curtailment  of 
the  cheaper  grades,  it  is  hoped,  w  ill  raise  the  standard  of  the 
goods  imported  an<l  thereby  give  liie  Manila  pr»»ducts  a  bet- 
ter standing  in  the  trade. 


Max  Steppacher  Dies  Suddenly. 

Traveling  Through    Europe,  He  was  Visiting  St.  Peter's  at   Rome 

A    ICAP.LF  from  Rome,  Italy,  (»n  May  29  announces  the 

/\,       sudden  death  of  Max  Steppacher,  owner  of  a  cigar 

factory  at  Reading,  i*a.    lie  was  visiting  St.  Peter's 

at   Rome,  and   when   the  body   was  found   it   was 


l^J!^ 


taken  to  a  hospital,  where  it  was  identified  by  papers  found 
in  the  pockets  of  his  clothes. 

M.  Steppacher  had  for  twelve  years  been  engaged  in 
the  cigar  manufacturing  business  in  Reading.  IJefore  re- 
moving to  Reading  he  was  a  member  of  the  lirm  of  Kosh- 
land  &  Stei)pacher,  in  Philadelphia.  ^ 

lie  had  been  much  grieved  since  the  death  of  a  daugh- 
ter several  years  since,  Mrs.  .Xdler.  and  was  acc<tmpanied  on 
his  present  trip  by  his  granddaughter,     lie  was  about  60 

years  of  age. 

When  he  left  his  home  in  Reading  his  business  was 
taken  charge  of  by  his  son,  Walter  Steppacher,  who  has 
been  associated  with  his  father  several  years. 

Test  Case  on  Tobacco  Insurance. 

X  interesting  test  case  has  just  been  decided  by  Judge 
Buri)ee,  oi  the  .Superior  Court  of  Connecticut,  in  the 
suit  brought  by  Mrs.  .Mary  V..  Cummings  against  the 
Caledonia  Insurance  Company  of  Scotland.  The 
court  nded  that  Mrs.  Cummings  cannot  collect  any  insurance 
on  the  tobacco  crop  which  she  raised  in  i«>()<).  an«l  which  was 
subse(|uently  <lestroyed  by  the  burning  of  the  buiMing  in  which 
her  leaf  tobacco  was  stored.  During  the  life  of  her  policy  .Mrs. 
Cummings  mortgaged  the  insured  t(»bacco  without  the  consent 
of  the  company.  She  alleged  that  the  company's  agent  repre- 
sented to  her  that  the  restriction  was  merely  re<l  tai)e,  and  in 
her  complaint  asked  to  have  the  ])olicy  reformed  so  as  to  have 
the  restrictive  clause  stricken  out.  and  she  also  sought  $1,200 
damages.      The  Caledonia's  demurrer  was  sustained.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD

By  JOHN  S.  HORD 

Former  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue  for  the  Philippine    Islands 


The  following  article  by  John  S.  I  lord,  former  Internal  Reiemic  Collector  for  the  Philippine  Islands,  but  now  manaqinq 
director  m  Manila  for  the  Oriental  Products  Company,  is  a  comprehensive  but  brief  rcznew  of  the  cigar  and  tobacco  industry  of 
that  country:  -^     ■' 


LAF  tobacco  is  grown  in  several  of 
the    provinces    of    the    l'hiiii>pine 
Islands,    the    more    important    ol 
which    are    Cagayan,    Isabela,    Fa 
Union,    Cebu,    J'anga.>inan,    and    Jloilo,    in 
the  order  of  their  imiKirtance.     Ontside  of 
a  limited  (juanlity  of  good   tobacco  grown 
in  the  Province  of  La  Union,  no  really  lirst- 
class  leaf  has  so  far  been  produced  in  any 
part  of  the  islands  uut.>ide  of  the  valley  of 
the    Cagayan    Kiver,    which    includes    the 
i'rovinces  of  Cagayan  and  isabela.     The  to- 
bacco land  in  this  valley  includes  an   area 
approximately   eighty   nules   lung  by   thirty 
miles  wide,  commencing  at  Fchague  in  Isa- 
bela Province,  and  thence  north  as  the  river 
runs    to   the    town    of    Alcala    in    Cagayan 
J'rovince.     IJut  the  cultivated   land  of  im- 
portance—that is,  that  land   which  is  sub- 
ject to  fertilization  from  the  silt  deposited 
by     the    annual     overflow — extends     back 
from  the  river  on  either  side  to  a  distance 
of  from  one-half  of  a  mile  to  three  miles. 
Along  the  course  of  two  or  three  of  the  tributaries  to  the  Ca- 
gayan River  are  also  to  be  found  good  tobacco  lands. 

The  sole  means  for  transi)orting  the  leaf  tobacco  to  the 
port  of  Ai>arri  at  the  mouth  of  the  river  is  by  cascoes— flat- 
bottomed  scows— drawing  from  one  to  three  feet  of  water.  \n 
the  dry  season  these  boats  get  through  with  great  difficulty  on 
account  of  the  numerous  sand  bars.  Jn  the  wet  season,  steam 
launches  of  from  three  to  four  feet  draft  ply  between  jllagan 
and  Aparri ;  the  only  launches  on  the  river  able  to  tow  loaded 
casc(>es,  are  owned  by  the  Compania  General  de  Tabacos  de 
I^lipinas,  which  company  also  owns  its  own  cascoes.  The  re- 
maining planters  in  order  to  get  their  crops  through  have  to 
rely  principally  on  poling  their  cascoes,  although  currents  and 
sails  assist.  The  cost  of  transi)ortation  is  a  big  item,  which, 
including  the  steamship  charges  to  Manila  and  cartage  from 
the  fields  to  the  river  banks,  often  adds  50  i)er  cent,  to  the 
value  of  the  tobacco  laid  down  in  the  field.  Added  to  this  is 
the  uncertainty  of  the  river,  due  to  the  continuous  shifting  and 
forming  of  said  bars,  and  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  river. 

( )n  a  hectare  of  tobacco  laiul  there  may  be  planted,  accord- 
iug  to  the  nature  of  the  soil,  from  10,000  to  16,000  plants; 
each  plant  is  allowed  to  bear  from  fifteen  to  twenty  leaves^ 
usually  the  latter,  making  the  possible  yield  per  hectare  from 
150,000  to  320,000  leaves.  h:ighteen  hundred  pounds  of  to- 
bacco leaf  to  the  hectare  is  considered  a  very  good  crop. 

There  are  about  21,000  agriculturists  growing  tobacco  in 
the  Cagayan  valley,  about  95  per  cent,  of  this  number  being 
indeiKMident  growers,  that  is  to  say,  persons  owning  small 
parcels  of^  land  or  working  on  shares  with  other  small  land 
owners.  The  remaining  5  per  cent,  of  the  tobacco  growers 
constitute  the  workmen  on  the  larger  plantations. 

Four  Ci.assk.s  of  Tor.xcco. 
It  is  the  custom  in  the  Cagayan  valley  to  grade  tobacco 
into  four  classes.    First  class  tobacco  means  an  almost  perfect 


less  than  two  hand  spans  in  length,  of  a 
fine  texture  and  veins,  and  not  broken  or 
punctured  in  any  manner.  Second  class  to- 
bacco is  that  of  which  the  leaves  are  some- 
what smaller  than  the  first,  or  large  leaves 
which  have  been  jiunctured,  or  have  some 
other  slight  defect.  The  third  and  fourth 
classes  are  composed  of  yet  smaller  leaves 
and  are  classified  on  somewhat  the  same 
principle.  It  is  only  the  tobacco  of  the 
first  or  second  class  that  commands  a  fair 
price,  and  during  the  few  months  that  have 
elapsed  since  the  passage  of  the  late  tariff 
in  Washington,  the  price  of  this  leaf  has 
increased  aljout  70  per  cent. 

Something  over  two  years  ago  I  spent 
several  weeks  in  the  Cagayan  valley,  visit- 
ing all  of  the  larger  haciendas  and  many 
of  the  smaller  ones  through  the  entire 
stretch  of  the  tobacco  lands.  I  found  that 
the  statements  which  1  had  read  in  late 
years  to  the  effect  that  the  tobacco  crop  of 
the  Cagayan  valley  had  greatly  deterio- 
rated due  to  the  negligence  and  ignorance  of  the  tobacco  grow- 
ers, were  only  too  true.  Upon  my  return  to  Manila  I  recom- 
mended to  the  Philippines  Commission  the  giving  of  bounties, 
three  in  each  tobacco  Province,  to  those  who  would  best  care 
for  the  planting,  the  cultivation  and  the  curing  of  their  crops. 
My  recommendations  were  favorably  considered  and  Act  No. 
1767  of  the  Philippines  Commission,  as  amended  by  Act  No. 
1917  of  the  Philippines  Assembly,  carries  a  continuing  ap- 
l)ropriation  from  which  these  prizes  or  bounties  are  paid  an- 
nually. But  the  experience  of  the  last  two  years  has  demon- 
strated that,  although  these  measures  have  assisted,  the  larger 
part  of  the  evil  remains  to  be  cured  by  further  radical  action. 

Many  men  in  and  out  of  Government  service  have  taken 
a  keen  interest  in  the  improvement  of  the  tobacco  leaf  of  these 
Islands  and  have  endeavored  by  advice  and  encouragement  to 
get  the  ignorant  planters  to  see  wherein  their  best  interests  lie. 
One  of  these,  Mr.  George  P.  Banner,  Provincial  Treasurer  at 
Tuguegarao,  says  in  a  late  report:— "We  have  become  cog- 
nizant of  their  illiteracy,  their  poverty  and  their  almost  com- 
plete ignorance  of  modem  agricultural  methods;  we  have 
observed  their  simple  methods  of  living,  their  few  necessities, 
and  their  consequent  indifference  to  a  betterment  of  their 
financial  condition.  We  have  gained  a  great  deal  of  valuable 
infomiation,  experience  and  insight  into  conditions;  and  have 
been  instrumental  in  bringing  about  legislation  which  should 
prove  of  great  advantage  and  benefit  to  the  Philippines  tobacco 
interest.  We  have  shouldered  the  responsibility  of  placing  on 
the  market  a  standard  product  greatly  increased  in  quantity. 
We  have  attempted  to  regulate  the  curing  of  tobacco  by  re- 
quiring the  planter  to  smoothe  his  crop  and  pack  it  in  the  pre- 
scribed manner  before  selling  it;  and  we  have  attempted  to 
prohibit  buyers  from  purchasing  the  tobacco  unless  smoothed 
and  packed  in  this  prescribed  manner.  In  this  attempt  we 
have  been  only  partly  successful.     The  planter  now  harvests 


well-flavored  leaf;  it  must  be  wide  and  light  in  color  and  not  his  crop  in  his  o^n  way;  cures  it  in  the  sun  ;  in  u  n  suited  budd-

ings  or  under  his  dwelling  house;  sells  it  to  probably  the  first 
buyer  who  comes  along.  He  later  smoothes  the  tobacco  in 
order  to  comply  with  the  Internal  Revenue  regulations,  but  he 
does  not  exercise  due  care  and  diligence  in  this  work.  More 
times  than  not  he  wets  the  leaves  with  water  and  slightly 
presses  out  the  wrinkles.  His  only  object  is  to  finish  quickly. 
He  has  sold  his  tobacco  at  a  sacrifice  and  he  considers  this 
extra  work  as  thrown  away,  because  he  does  not  receive  any 
compensation  worthy  of  mention  for  the  labor  involved." 

How  TO  Improve  Conditions. 

Mr.  Banner  also  makes  valuable  recommendations  for  the 
improvement  of  this  undesirable  condition.  He  suggests  that 
the  tobacco  regions  could  be  divided  into  districts  with  an 
expert  who  would  also  be  a  practical  tobacco  man  in  charge  of 
each  district  and  that  text-books  dealing  with  tobacco  should 
be  introduced  in  the  schools. 

There  has  been  great  divergence  of  opinion  as  to  whether 
or  not  the  Philippines  Government  should  resort  to  methods 
similar  to  those  of  the  Spanish  Government  thirty  years  ago, 
when  labor  in  the  Cagayan  valley  was  enforced,  when  bad  to- 
bacco was  burned  on  the  fields,  and  when  good  tobacco  in  the 
Manila  markets  was  the  rule  and  not  the  exception  as  it  is 
now.  All  agree,  however,  that  something  should  be  done,  and 
no  doubt  something  soon  will  be  done. 


Filipino  Eapeils  Auorting  Tobacco  on  Straw  Mats 


f  .   , 


One  Third  Section  of  Germinal  Factory,  where  230,000  Ggarettea  are  made  daily 

Something  over  a  year  ago,  while  in  Washington,  I  was 
requested  by  the  Secretary  of  War  to  return  to  the  Philippine 
Islands  and  obtain  certain  sugar  and  tobacco  data  for  the  use 
of  Congress  at  its  coming  session.  In  accordance  with  cables 
which  I  sent  from  Washington,  this  work  was  begun  before 
my  arrival  here.  It  took  five  months  of  very  assidious  labor 
on  the  part  of  provincial  treasurers  and  other  officials,  and  in- 
ternal revenue  agents,  and  involved  an  inspection  of  each  tract 
of  tobacco  land  in  the  Cagayan  valley,  and  the  compilation 
of  maps  showing  the  various  tracts,  their  production,  and  all 
other  data  relating  to  manufacture,  imports,  exports,  etc.  I 
shall  quote  a  few  of  the  total  figures  for  the  Islands  for  the 
year  1908: 

There  were  actually  planted  in  tobacco  61,605  acres;  the 
municipal  councils  further  reported  1 10,727  acres  as  adapted 
to  tobacco  culture,  but  not  actually  planted,  which  together 
with  that  actually  planterl  makes  a  grand  total  of  172,332  acres. 

The  actual  production  of  tobacco  leaf  was  38,725.441 
pounds,  which  would  have  been  increased  to  108,328,832 
pounds  had  all  of  the  land  adapted  to  tobacco  culture  been 
actually  planted. 

The  official  statistics  show  that  there  were  23.264.901 
pounds  of  leaf  tobacco  exported,  115,768,000  cigars  exported, 
of  an  average  weiglit  of  twelve  and  one-fifth  pounds,  per  thou- 


12 


THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


sainl  of  a  total  weight  of  1,412, },(xj  ixninds,  and  about  325,000 
pounds  of  tobacco  in  othtr  forms,  mostly  cij^arcttes  and  smok- 
\u^  and  cJKwinj,'.  making  a  total  of  over  25,(XX),ooo  jxjunds  of 
I'liiiipjiinc  tobacco  exported  in  all  forms. 

(  )nl\  about  35  j)er  cent,  of  tlie  IMiiiippiiic  leaf  was  retained 
in  the  lslan<ls  for  local  manufacture  and  consum|)tion.  This 
was  used  to  make  some  83,(XX),ooo  cigars  and  nearly  4,(xx),- 
(xx>,(xx)  cigarettes. 

'rm:  Wkai'I'i.r  Proiuj-m. 
The  immediate  problem  to  be  solved  by  the  tobacco  in- 
du>try  of  the  I'hilipjMne  l>land>.  or  by  the  (iovernment  for  it. 
is  how  to  increase  the  present  production  of  good  wrapper  for 
cigar^.  There  i>^  a  wide>i>rea<l,  but  nevertheless  erroneous 
impressi<»n  that  in  order  to  supply  the  1 50,0(X).ocx)  cigars  al- 
lowe<l  free  entry  into  the  rnite<l  .States,  extensive  tracts  of 
tobacco  land,  now  lying  fallow,  will  have  to  be  juit  in  cidtiva- 
tion.  'I'he  fact  is  that  a  slight  increase,  not  over  eight  to  ten 
per  cent.,  in  the  present  |)roduction  of  tobacco  leaf,  will  sup|)ly 
all  of  the  raw  material  needed  in  the  manufacture  of  these 
1 5o.(K¥).ofx)  cigars. 

Therefore,  an  increase  of  3.rxK).ooo  i)oun<ls  for  the  cigars 
ami  i.(K)o.ooo 'pmni<ls  of  leaf  which  the  I'ayne  I'ill  allows  free 
entry  into  the  Tinited  .States,  is  all  that  the  lMiilipj)ine  tobacco 
lands  will  need  to  produce  in  addition  to  what  they  have  pro- 
duce(l  in  the  past.  I^.ut  inasmuch  as  Austria  has  just  decide<l 
to  no  longer  u^e  in  her  Government  monop<)ly  the  4.r)oo.fx^x) 
pounrls  or  .so  of  l'hili|)pine  tobacco,  which  she  has  used  in  the 
past,  it  is  qm'tc  clear  that  there  is  no  call  whatever  at  proent 
to  increase  tobacco  leaf  production  in  th'"<e  Island'^  until  addi- 
tional markets  are  provided. 

The  wrapper  on  the  i5o.fxx).(xx)  lMiilij)pine  cigars  to  be 
sent  to  the  I'nited  States  will  represent  about  10  per  cent,  of 
their  total  weight.  an<l  an  improvement  in  the  (|uality  of  this 
wraj)|)er  is  urgently  needed.  The  American  smoking  public 
susjK'cts  cigars  l)len<le«l  with  tobacco  from  different  l<H:alities. 
The  Cuban  cigar  has  maintained  its  ])osition  in  the  American 
market  largely  ])ecause  it  is  all  Cuban,  the  use  of  Sumatra,  or 
Connecticut,  or  Florida,  r»r  any  other  kind  of  wrapper,  except 
Cuban,  being  unknr»wn  in  that  Island.  The  use  of  foreign 
wrappers  on  Philipj)ine  cigars  will  detract  from  their  value  in 
the  .\nierican  market. 

Only  about  300.000  i)ounds  of  good  wrapj^cr  are  recpiired 
for  the  150.000,000  cigars,  and  the  leaf  of  suitable  f|uality  is 
even  now  being  grown,  but  is  largely  being  spoile<l  through 
carelesness,  indolence,  and  ignorance  in  the  curing  and  packing 
of  it  after  it  has  been  taken  from  the  field.  The  "Manila  To- 
bacco Association",  organized  about  a  month  ago  in  Matiila, 
has  taken  this  matter  up  seriously  and  the  Insular  Ciovernment 
has  been  ref|uested  to  assist  in  this  vital  work.  If  a  few  ware- 
houses were  located  at  different  points  in  the  Cagayan  vallev, 
where  the  green  tobacco  leaf  of  the  proper  size  and  texture 
could  be  brought  and  held  mitil  properly  fermented  and  pressed, 
and  if  these  warehouses  were  under  Government  supervision, 
so  that  such  wrapper  leaf  could  not  be  withdrawn  in  an  im- 
perfect or  immature  condition  for  sale  in  the  Manila  market 
to  the  local  cigar  manufacturers,  it  would  mean  that  a  long 
step  would  be  taken  toward  restoring  the  former  fair  fame  of 
the  Manila  cigar. 


Shooting  Tampa  Cigars  from  a  Cannon. 

Colonel  Thos.  M.  W'ier.  harbor  master  of  Tampa,  prom- 
inent in  the  P.oard  of  Trade  in  that  city  and  an  all-round 
booster  for  his  section,  made  lots  of  friends  in  New  York 
when  he  came  on  with  Governor  Gilchrist  and  partv  to 
launch  the  'T'lorida."  Mr.  Wier  brought  with  him  a  gilded 
cigar  cannon,  which  attracted  much  notice  in  the  .Savoy 
Ibttel.  When  the  lanyard  of  this  dandy  dreadnought  was 
]>ulled,  the  resulting  explosion  scattered  hundreds  of  the 
hnest  cigars  that  could  be  produced  from  Mr.  Wicr's  exten- 
sive tobacco  plantation.

Java  Wrappers  Being  Pushed  to  the  Front. 


RiX'f^.X  r  j)rice  lists  from  Amsterdam,  Holland,  indicate 
a  scarcity  and  high  prices  of  certain  wrappers,  the 
result  being  that  Java  wrappers  are  being  specially 
pushe<l  on  account,  as  one  firm  states  it,  of  "the 
beautiful,  well  set  clear  colors,  superior  quality  and  perfect 
bum"  of  the  Java  wrappers.  It  is  said  also  that  ij/^  to  2  lbs. 
of  Java  wrappers  will  wrap  1,000  cigars. 

Java   wrappers    were   (juoted    in    Amsterdam    recently   at 

.S3. 25  to  $3.60  per  i)ound,  and  Sumatra  wrappers,  first  lengths, 

$3  to  S4.25  per  pound,  second  lengths,  $3  to  $3.75  per  pound. 

The  duty  on  Sumatra  and  Java  wrappers  imported  into 

the  United  States  is  $1.85  per  pound.

Insurance  Petition  is  Turned  Down. 


aM.  DOLPib^h'R,  chairman  of  the  Insurance  Commit-

tion, has  just  received  a  reply  to  the  petition 
signed  by  three  hundred  and  nine  leaf  tobacco 
dealers  of  the  United  States  asking  for  better  insurance 
rates.  The  petition,  as  presented  to  the  Fire  Insurance  Ex- 
change of  New  York,  requests  the  abolition  of  the  addi- 
tional 10%  exacted  on  account  of  the  San  Francisco  fire,  and 
has  been  denied.  However,  the  request  that  the  specific 
warehouse  rate  to  be  reduced  is  still  under  consideration 
by  the  Warehouse  Committee.  .Should  this  committee  act 
unfavorably,  it  is  Mr.  Dolbeer's  intention  to  secure  an  attor- 
ney to  represent  the  Association  before  the  Insurance  Com- 
mission in  an  effort  to  force  favorable  action.

X  view  of  the  radical  changes  and  vast  improvnnents 
which  have  been  brought  about  by  national  legisla- 
tion, and  the  work  of  the  Xational  Pure  Food  Com- 
■^  mission,  the  agitation  of  a  number  of  prominent 
manufacturers,  especially  by  1^.  Regensburg  &  Sons,  to  place 
the  manufacture  and  sale  of  cigars  under  the  supervision  of 
the  Xational  Pure  Food  Commission,  opens  a  field  of  wide 
thought,  and  one  which  could  be  .studied  with  profit  to  the  in- 
dustry at  large.  Cigars,  perhaps,  more  than  any  other  class  of 
mercluindise,  are  st)ld  on  honor,  and  owing  to  this  conditi<»n 
manv  unscrupulous  dealers  take  advantage  of  their  customers. 

Ilai'tiiui  grown  tobacco  is  the  undoubted  standard  of 
value  in  the  industry,  and  as  there  is  no  law  to-day  against 
misrepresentation,  many  varieties  of  tobacco  which  were  never 
within  hundreds  of  miles  of  the  Island  of  Cuba,  are  sold  to 
smokers  as  Havana  products.  I'orto  Rico  tobacct).  straight 
or  blended  with  domestic  tobaccos — while  of  excellent  worth 
in  its  class — and  many  domestic  tobacc(^s,  are  sold  as  Ilaiana. 
Tobacco  grown  from  the  seed  and  cultivated  in  the  United 
States,  commonly  known  as  "Seed  Havana",  is  frecpiently 
offered  without  the  prefix  *\Seed",  and  who  is  there  to  deny? 

It  can  be  readily  seen  by  these  examples  that  a  dealer, 
desirious  of  so  <loing.  can  easily  deceive  a  smoker  and  prevent 
him  from  knowing  where  the  tobacco  in  the  cigars  he  smokes 
comes  from.  bVw  men  are  reliably  posted  on  tobacco  or  cigars, 
and  unprincipled  dealers  have  many  opi)ortunities  to  switch  a 
customer  from  a  proved  brand  of  worth  to  one  in  wiiich  there 
is  a  larger  profit  for  him.  Xaturally.  the  best  brands  sutTer  at 
the  hands  of  the  un.scrupultms,  for  obvious  reasons,  'fhe  lead- 
ing brands  of  Havana  cigars  are  in  all  cases  made  from  the 
best  Cuban  tobacco  obtainable,  and  as  the  crops  vary  ma- 
terially from  year  to  year,  the  finished  goods  have  to  follow 
the  crops  and  flavor,  while  always  made  of  the  very  best  Cuban 
tobacco.  This  is  the  opening  which  the  little  dealer  is  con- 
.stantly  looking  for,  and  if  a  smoker  complains  of  a  leading 
brand,  for  which  complaint  the  manufacturer  is  in  nowise 
responsible,  the  dealer  invariably  suggests  a  trial  of  cheaper 
g(KKls,  and  in  many  cases  gets  away  with  the  trick. 

Result  of  an  Infkrior  Crop. 

As  is  well  known,  the  Havana  tobacco  crops  of  1906-7 
were  much  inferior  to  those  of  the  year  previinis.  and  manu- 
facturers who  bought  only  the  choicest  leaf  were  comi)elled  to 
take  the  best  obtainable.  While  this  best  was  not  as  good  as 
the  year's  before,  the  pre-eminence  of  the  fine  cigars  remained, 
but  the  difference  in  the  finished  goods  offered  the  opportunity 
which  many  dealers  were  looking  for — to  Substitute.  It  is 
said  that  M.  Regensburg  &  Sons  sold  out  their  entire  stock  of 
1907  leaf  at  a  l)ig  loss  when  they  discovered  that  the  if)o8 
crop  was  proving  of  much  better  c|uality,  so  determined  were 
they  to  kee])  up  the  standard  of  their  goods,  and  yet  this  fine 
old  house  suffered,  perhaps,  as  much  as  any  other  concern  by 
the  unscrupulous  attacks  on  their  cigars  for  an  apparent  di- 
minution in  (|uality  over  which  they  had  no  control. 

It  is  a  question  quite  worthy  of  consideration,  if  it  would 


Golden  Wedding  of  Canada's  Oldes*  Cigar  Manufacturer. 

Fifty  years  of  wedded  life  w^ere  completed  on  the  loth  ult. 
by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Z.  Davis.  Mr.  Davis  is  one  of  the  oldest  and 
most  prominent  cigar  manufacturers  in  Canada  and  has  resided 
for  fortv-five  years  in  Montreal.  He  is  a  native  of  London, 
Fngland ;  came  to  New  York  in  1858,  and  afterwards  took  up 
his  residence  in  Boston. 


not  be  a  wise  move  on  the  part  of  the  cigar  manufacturers  to 
obtain,  if  jxissible.  from  Congress,  legislation  which  wttuld  pro- 
vide for  the  labelling  of  cigars  under  the  sui)ervision  of  the 
Pure  h'ood  Commission,  or  an  auxilliarv  bo<lv.  such  labels  to 
state  clearly  of  what  character  of  tobacco  each  cigar  is  ma«le, 
and  what  proportions  are  utilized. 

Xecessarily,  such  labelling  would  re(|uire  a  certain  aniount 
i^i  change  in  the  law,  which,  as  it  stands  to-day  in  so  far  as 
cigars  are  concerne(l,  is  exceedingly  curi«»s,  /'.  c,  it  is  impossible 
to  secure  proof  of  fraudulent  misrei)resentation  as  to  the  t|ual- 
ity  of  tobacco  used  in  the  manufacture  oi  cigars,  because  the 
courts  have  held  that  the  only  proof  of  the  kind  of  t<>bacc(»  a 
cigar  contains  is  in  the  smoking  thereof,  and  that  when  a 
dealer  claims  his  goods  to  be  only  partially  Havana,  it  is  (|uile 
|K)ssible  that  if  an  analysis  is  called  for,  a  jxirtion  t>f  the  cigar 
already  smoke<l  would  c»)ntain  a  sutficient  (|uantity  of  Havana 
tobacco  to  preclude  prosecution.  .\nd  as  ashes  are  not  subject 
for  analysis,  such  cases  (»t' prosecution  as  have  been  attempted 
have  always  fallen. 

SrC.CKSTIOX    FOR    A   LAIM.r.. 

It  would  seem  that  a  carefully  framed  law.  ])roviding  for 
a  simple  label  stating  whether  the  g(K»ds  were  of  llavan.i.  .See<l 
Havana,  Porto  Rico,  or  otherwise,  could  be  enacted  and  that  it 
would  work  out  with  great  ecpiity  to  both  our  i|ome>.lic  and 
Cuban  manufacturers.  (  )r  if  it  were  necessary,  a  commi->sion 
could  be  organize»l  which  wouhl  take  uj)  the  matter  from  the 
leaf  standj)oint  and  comj)el  both  tlie  leaf  dealer,  as  well  as  the 
mamifacturer.  to  guarantee  the  <|uality  of  his  good>. 

In  discussing  this  theme  recentlv.  one  of  the  Pure  hot  id 
Commissioners,  who  has  studied  this  subject,  expressed  the 
«!pinion  that  if  a  law  could  be  enacted  which  would  apj>ly  <li- 
rectly  to  the  tobacco  sources  of  supply,  that  a  big  step  forward 
would  be  made.  .Many  small  manufacturers  of  cigars,  lu- 
claims.  cann(»t  tell  the  <litTerence  between  Havana  tobacco  and 
other  varieties,  and  the  makers  fre(|uently  buy  tob.icco  le.af. 
which  they  think  is  Havana,  and  which  in  some  cases  has  been 
verbally  represented  to  them  as  Havana  tobacco,  when  it  is  not. 
An  inspection  of  their  invoices  would  show,  h(»wever.  that  they 
had  purchased  only  .so  many  poiuids  of  tobacco,  but  no  speci- 
fication that  it  was  Havana.  Nevertheless,  the  mamifacturer 
goes  ahead  and  makes  up  cigars  which  he  sells  as  all  Havana 
cigars,  and  he  does  this  in  good  faith.  The  public  sutTers 
thereby.  It  would  appear  a  very  simple  proposition  to  compel 
leaf  dealers  to  invoice  tobacco  exactly  as  it  was  sold,  and  make 
them  perforce  stand  back  of  the  invoices  as  to  quality.  This 
would  be  the  first  move  in  putting  the  matter  of  misrej)resenta- 
tion  s(|uarely  up  tr>  the  manufacturers. 

Surely  no  one  will  gainsay  the  inestimable  a<lvant.iges 
which  the  country  at  large  has  enjoyed  owing  to  the  conscien- 
tious and  intelligent  lal)ors  of  the  Pure  F<^od  Commission  in  the 
stami)ing  out  of  patent  medicines  which  contained  poisonotis 
ingredients,  as  well  as  their  work  in  connection  with  edibles  of 
all  sorts.  The  scope  of  the  Commission's  work  could  be  easily 
enlarged  to  cover  the  cigar  industry,  with  all  its  cnorm<nis  in- 
vestments and  ramifications. 

"  Dry  Climate'*   Havana  Cigars. 

Ramon  Solis,  a  cigarmaker  of  Denver,  C«)lo.,  claims  a 
new  blend  of  Havana  and  /Xmerican  tobacco  which  makes 
bad  men  good  and  good  men  smoke  the  more.  He  brings 
his  Havana  weed  over  in  s<di(l  zinc  lined  boxes  and  has 
branded  his  goods  as  "Dry  Climate"  cigars.  He  employs 
250  hands  in  Denver.

Paying  for  All  You  Get.

The  Habit  of    Keeping  Still.

B@B@       it  is  not  always  good  t«»  keep  still.

Could  point  our  finger  to  a  certain  j)roi)rielor  of  an  active 
cigar  store  who  instructs  his  employees  to  kick,  but  not 
without  good  reason.  It  shows  that  you  are  awake  and  see 
things.  IJesides,  it  often  keei)s  the  head  of  the  concern 
posted. 

We  should  not  forget,  bcjwever,  that  kicking  is  not 
grumbling.  Remember  that  there  is  a  wide  difference.  No 
knocking  or  tale-bearing.  It  is  the  good,  strong  protest 
against  anything  that  hurts  the  business  that  will  be  helped 
if  y(»u  kick  and  kick  hard.  Often  we  hear  a  clerk  say,  "It 
isn't  any  of  my  business  to  kick,"  and  those  clerks  are  not 
sizing  up  properly  to  the  job.  It  is  their  business;  nobody

They  air  their  grievances    to    others    until    they

They  are  not  thorough  and  conscientious  about   their

They   keep  their  eyes  on   the  clock,   fearful  that   ihev

They  are  never  on  time. 

They  depend  on  favoritism  to  advance  them  instead  of

They  feel  themselves  above  their  position  and  do  not

They  cannot  be  honest  with  themselves  and  expect  a

they  never  get  right  down  to  doing  anything  at  all. 

They  fear  that  they  will  do  more  than  their  salary

Another  Move  to  Organize  Retailers. 

Another  eflfort  was  recently  made  to  form  an  association 
of  the  retail  dealers  of  Philadelphia.  It  has  been  tried  several 
times  during  the  past  six  months,  but,  unfortunately,  the  pro- 
ject is  not  much  further  advanced  to-day  that  it  was  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  agitation.  In  the  notices  sent  out  only  a  selected 
list  of  names  was  used,  and  only  a  very  small  proportion  of 
them  responded,  so  that  while  it  was  representative  enough  so 
far  as  it  goes,  it  is  numbers  that  count  and  that  was  lacking.  It 
does  seem  unfortunate  that  the  retail  dealers  of  this  city  can- 
not be  brought  together  in  a  spirit  of  good-fellowship.

Big  Eiojgh  to  Take    Advice. 

THE  head  of  a  mercantile  house  in  New  York  who  is 
noted  for  his  alertness  in  a(li>i)ting  new  and  better 
systems  in  his  offices,  gives  credit  for  his  numen-us 
changes  to  his  new  employes. 

"Whenever  I  hire  a  new  man."  he  stales,  "1  M-nd  him 
through  our  building  on  a  tour  of  observation.  At  the  end 
of  a  week  or  so,  I  ask  his  suggestions  for  im|)roving  any 
part  of  our  methods  which  he  believes  is  deficient.  As  an 
outsider  unused  to  our  ways  of  work,  he  is  quicker  to  notice 
opportunities  for  improvements  in  our  methods  of  work 
than  we  on  the  inside  who  have  our  noses  too  close  to  the 
grindstone  and  get  no  perspective  on  ourselves. 

"Some  of  our  most  elYective  labor-saving  svstems  have 
been  proposed  by  men  who  have  been  with  us'  only  a  few 
days.  A  system  that  an  old  emi)loye  has  accej)ted  as  a 
matter  of  course  may  appear  wasteful  and  old-fashioned  in 
the  eyes  of  a  newcomer  who  has  been  accustomed  to  an- 
other and  perhaps  more  efficient  wav  of  doing  the  same 
work." 

But  to  apply  the  same  principles  to  other  firms,  one 
must  observe  the  old  adage  in  niodorni/ed  form — "just  catch 
a  manager  who  is  big  enough  to  take  advice  from  those 
under  him." — Success. 

To  Push  the   Marathon  Cigarettes. 

Boston,  M.ass.,  May  31.— M.  Met/.ler  and  F.  O'Keefe,  the 
former  a  cigar  salesman  and  the  latter  as  head  salesman  with 
the  American  Tobacco  Company,  have  resigned  their  pt)sitions 
and  started  the  Marathon  Sales  Co.  They  will  manufacture 
and  sell  the  "Marathon,"  a  15-cent  cigarette,  aiul  •ReditY.  '  a 
lo-cent  package,  made  in  Boston  by  the  Marathon  Cigarette  Co. 


Tampa  to  Denver  on  Cigar   Prairie  Schooner. 

Tampa,  May  30.— The  Pride  Cigar  Company  has  adopted 
a  unique  plan  to  advertise  its  brands  in  "a  twi>-year  camj)aigu 
from  Tampa  to  Denver."  Frank  Russell,  one  of  the  com- 
pany's energetic  business  getters,  left  here  last  week  en  route 
to  Denver,  traveling  in  a  "prairie  schooner",  ablaze  w  ith  adver- 
tising placards  and  drawn  by  two  horses,  lie  has  alrea<ly  been 
reported  from  several  b'lorida  towns,  traveling  towards  the 
Georgia  State  line,  distributing  samples  of  "Pride"  cigars  and 
taking  orders  as  he  goes.  He  is  taking  his  time,  intending  to 
make  every  important  town  on  his  route  to  Denver. 

Opening  for  American  Cigars  in  Siam. 
The  customs  report  for  the  fiscal  year  1908-9  shows  an 
importation  into  Siam  of  $112,422  worth  of  cigars.  Consul- 
General  G.  Cornell  Tarler,  of  Bangkok,  says  that  I'.urma  leads 
with  $48,870  of  cheroots,  followed  by  Denmark  with  $9,052, 
the  Philippines  with  $6,915,  and  Germany  with  $5,240  of 
cigars.  The  United  States  is  not  mentioned  at  all,  and  no  Key 
West,  Tampa,  or  other  American  cigars  arc  procurable  in  the 
local  markets.  These  are  far  preferable  to  the  Danish  or 
German  cigars,  and  Siam  ofTers  a  lucrative  field  for  them. 
Cigars  pay  a  duty  of  3  per  cent,  ad  valorem. 

A  new  store  has  been  opened  at  Syracuse,  X.  V.,  by  F.  11. 
&  F.  L.  Tiffany,  at  the  corner  of  Fast  Genesee  street  and 
Irving  avenue.  F.  L.  TifTany  has  had  considerable  experience 
in  the  cigar  business,  having  formerly  been  associated  with  his 
brother  in  this  line.  F.  B.  TifTany,  a  capitalist,  is  interested  in 
the  real  estate  business.  Among  the  brands  shown  during  the 
opening  week  were  the  "Royal  Nancy."  ten  cents,  and  ".Sweet 
Briar,"  five  cents,  manufactured  by  the  TheobaKl  &  Oppen- 
heimer  Co.,  Philadelphia. 


John  Flias  Tuckett,  tobacco  manufacturer  of  Rock  ford, 
111.,  died  at  his  home  in  that  city  last  month,  at  the  age  of 
fi  f  ty-two.

The  cnstom  regnlat'ion  of  50  cigars  or  .vx>  cigarettes  is  rigidly

As  1  came  ont  of  a  cigar  shop  last  week,  a  hright  yonngster 
hailed  me  and  sai<l,  ''Mister,  please  give  me  the  c«)llege  out  of 
the  ])ackage  of  cigarettes  yon  have."  1  tished  the  <lesircd  card 
ont  lor  him  and  he  expressed  his  delight  at  ohtaining  a  new 
one  f<»r  his  collection.  When  1  was  a  kid  of  ahont  his  age, 
maimfactnrers  packed  dilTerent  kinds  of  cards  hi  their  cigar- 
ettes. The  principal  ones  were  pictures  of  variety  actresses, 
usually  verv  stout,  and  aluKJSt  invariahly  i)h<.tographe(l  m 
tights;  if  not  this,  then  the  suhjects  were  prize-fighters,  or  in 
one  or  two  cases  very  had  pictures  of  hasehall  i)layers. 

Times  have  changetl  a  hit  in  twenty-hve  years,  and  I  think 
nmch  for  the  hetter.  Our  cigarette  manufacturers  arc  packing 
not  only  the  reproductions  of  college  seals  to-day.  hut  also 
reproductions  of  the  leading  makes  of  aut(.mohiles,  specimens 
of  tlowers.  and  when  they  utilize  photographs  of  athletes  the 
pictures  are  lir.st-class  likenesses  of  the  various  favorites — as, 
for  instance,  those  in  Kamleh  packages. 

The  result  is  that  our  youngsters,  who  inherit  the  Ameri- 
can craze  for  collecting,  are  ohtaining  a  knowledge  of  commer- 
cial life  and  (»ur  educational  institutions,  which  is  a  good  thing. 
Pictures  of  Verona  Jarheati  ((|ueen  of  l)urles(|ue)  are  gone 
forever.  an(i  in  their  stead  they  are  ac(|uiring  a  knowledge  of 
I'ackard  cars  and  where  Tufts  College  is  located.

r.ellette  Uegenshurg  had  a  g(Mid  time  at  the  Actors'  Inuid 
l-air.  held  in  New  York  last  week,  and  incidentlly  he  now  has 
a  soiivenir  down  at  his  home  in  Far  Kockaway  which  many 

nnght  envv. 

He  landed  at  the  71st  Regiment  Armory  one  night  with  a 
pocketful  of  money,  and  the  way  the  pretty  girls  of  the  pro- 
fession se]»arated  him  from  it  for  chances  on  everything  from  a 
Caruso  pillow  to  an  automohile  was  a  caution. 


One  clever  little  miss  went  after  Mr.  Kegcnsburg  hard 
for  the  auto  chances ;  he  told  her  he  had  one  machine,  and  she 
could  have  a  ride  in  that  if  she  would  let  him  alone.  This 
haflled  her  temporarily,  but  she  put  a  pretty  girl  after  him  who 
had  the  chances  on  a  tine  motor  boat.  Mr.  R.  succumbed 
gracefully  and  handed  over  another  dollar.  When  he  gave  his 
address  at  164  Canal  strt^et,  some  one  said  it  was  a  sure  hunch 
that  a  man  from  Canal  street  would  win  the  boat.  He  said  if 
he  did,  he  would  take  them  all  for  a  ride. 

And  that  is  just  the  way  it  happened.  If  sofiie  fine  day 
you  sht)uld  see  him  on  Jamaica  Bay  with  a  boatload  of  pretty 
girls,  you  will  know  he  is  making  gcxxl.

Ancnt  the  ever-recurring  agitation  against  smoking  in 
public,  1  observe  that  the  topic  is  one  that  has  been  discussed 
for  over  a  half-century.  They  used  to  punish  people  for  public 
smoking  in  Prussia  in  railway  cars  and  in  other  public  places. 
In  1840  it  was  decreed  that  a  man  might  smoke  in  the  street, 
but  he  had  to  have  his  cigar  in  a  kind  of  wire  cage.  This  was 
to  prevent  the  sparks  from  Hying  about  too  freely.  Jt  took  sev- 
eral petitions  to  induce  the  (jovenunent  to  allow  the  smoking  of 
naked  cigars  in  public.  Cp  to  i«^48,  any  smoker  who  passed  a 
sentry  or  an  army  oflRcer  in  uniform  without  removing  his  pipe 
or  cigar  was  liable  to  be  jailed. 

Charleston,  S.  C,  which  has  always  boasted  of  its  chivalry 
towards  ladies,  once  passed  an  ordinance  prohibiting  smoking, 
on  King  street,  which  was  the  shopping  boulevard  of  the  town. 
Strangers  visiting  Charleston  in  ante-bellum  times  were  (juite 
non])luse(l  when  the  police  would  touch  them  on  the  ami  on 
King  street  and  request  them  to  throw  away  their  stumps. 
1  his  was  always  done  neatly,  with  an  explanation  from  the 
"cop"  that  it  was  merely  to  save  the  ladies  from  unpleasant 
odors.  This  was  soon  found,  however,  to  be  an  impracticable 
law,  and  for  years  people  have  smoked  as  freely  in  the  Charles- 
ton streets  as  in  those  of  any  other  city.

My  friend,  J.  Durban  Acker,  in  addition  to  having  one  of 
the  best  arranged  cigar  stands  in  Philadelphia,  located  in  the 
Acker  Ouality  Shop,  at  Twelfth  and  Chestnut  streets,  makes  it 
a  ])oint  to  keep  his  clerks  always  on  their  tiptoes  by  showing 
them  the  infallible  winning  (juality  of  being  on  the  alert  in 
business. 

1  dropped  in  the  day  following  the  aimouncement  that 
Halley's  comet  was  to  appear  (which  failed  to  make  good),  and 
Mr.  Acker  had  displayed  conspicuously  on  his  counter  an  artis- 
tically lettered  show  card  with  a  picture  of  the  elusive  terres- 
trial body  thereon,  and  underneath  this  sign  : 
"The  Comet  did  not  strike  you. 
lint  our  Wissahickons  at  5c.  each  or  $5  per  hundred  will." 

The  Wissahickons,  by  the  way,  are  the  leading  five-cent 
brand  on  which  the  Acker  Shops  have  made  such  a  reputation 
in  Philadelphia. 

I  consider  that  show-card  an  up-to-the-minute  indication 
of  why  J.  D.  Acker  has  proven  himself  a  big  success  in  the 
retail  cigar  business.  The  Onlooker.

EDITORIAL. 

A  coinniunicaticm  well  worth  the  reading  appears  in 
this  issue  on  the  proposition  to  include  cigars  among  tiie 

products  proper  to  be  scrutinized  by  the 
United  States  Pure  Food  Commission. 

Tobacco  is  not  a  food,  per  sc,  but  as  a 
trailer  to  a  good  dinner,  the  cigar  and 
cigarette  are  in  the  saddle  to  stay.  If  the 
cigar  is  of  cork,  or  if  it  is  of  tobacco  laden  with  creosote  or 
dopes  of  any  kind,  the  after  dinner  smoke  is  a  failure,  the 
palate  is  baffled  of  a  pleasant  sensation  and  life  is  hardly 
worth  the  living. 

Therefore,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  cigar  and  cigar- 
ette are  adjuncts  to  a  good  meal,  that  they  taste  the  better 
after  pure  food  has  been  eaten  and  that  a  good  dinner  is 
spoiled  unless  the  cigar  or  cigarette  is  as  pure  as  what  pre- 
ceded it,  we  discern  many  reasons  why  Pure  Food's  author- 
ity to  the  government  should  have  power  to  smite  the  maker 
of  impure  cigars,  cigarettes  or  smoking  tobacco. 

However,  read  Bos  worth's  article  and  tell  The  World 
what  is  thought  of  the  scheme. 


Tobacco  and  the 
Pure  Food 
Commission. 


Some    weeks   ago    The   World   dwelt    with    emphasis 
on  the  importance  of  a  great  tobacco  exposition;  one  of  the 

educational  type  and  which  would  stinui- 
A  Show  that  lii^<-'  ^li^'  trade  as  well.     We  are  pleased  to 

Would  Appeal-  note  that  the  Virginia  and  i\\»rth  Caro- 
lina newspapers  are  keeping  this  subject 
warm.  I'he  time  is  ripe  for  such  an  exhibit,  for  the  pro- 
gress in  tobacco  and  cigar  making  has  l)een  w*»ndertul. 
WTiy  not  tell  the  W(.>rld  to  come  and  see  what  we  are  doing 
in  tobacco?  We  need  not  go  further  tiian  the  United  Slates 
to  get  an  audience.  A  great  exhil)ition  of  tobacco  iii  all  its 
forms  at  Riclimond  or  Winston-Salem,  coupled  with  low 
rates  of  fare,  would  attract  millions  of  people  and  riclily 
repay  its  promoters. 


Senator  Bevcridge 
and  Tobacco 
Coupons. 


An  attempt  to  resurrect  the  anti-tobacco  coupon  bill, 
which  passed  the  Senate  last  year  as  a  part  of  the  tariff  bill 

and  which  was  thrown  out  in  conference, 
is  being  made  by  Senator  Heveridge,  oi 
Indiana.  The  senator  was  quite  enthused 
on  this  sul)ject  last  year  and  desires  to 
prevent  the  use  of  coupons  entitling  hold- 
ers to  gifts  and  pictures,  such  coupons  being  found  in  pack- 
ages of  tobacco.  The  senator  argues  that  these  gift  coupons 
are  meretricious  in  their  effects  on  trade  and  that  they  tend 
to  create  false  standards,  and  to  delude  the  unwary  into 
buying  certain  makes  of  tobacco  to  the  general  detriment  of 
the  industry. 


The  Attorney  General  of  the  United  States  endeavored 
to  have  the  hearing  of  the  Tobacco  and  Standard  Oil  cases 

by  the  Supreme  Court  on  October  31st. 
"The  Ides  of  Attorneys    for    the    ct)mpanies    suggested 

November."  tliat  it  would  be  better  to  ti.x  the  date  after 

the  Congressional  elections  and  the  court 
concurred,  naming  November  14th. 

There  will  be  a  heap  doing  when  the  ne.xt  Congressmen 
are  voted  for.  It  is  a  time  of  agitation  and  deep  portent,  and 
men  are  wondering  where  the  comet  will  show  its  tail.  Al- 
together, the  arguments  on  Tobacco  and  Standard  ( )il  will 
he  the  most  momentous  that  were  ever  heard  in  the  Su- 
preme Court  Chambers.  Seemingly  they  will  go  to  the  bot- 
tom of  the  question  as  to  whether  wealth  can  operate  in  an 
aggregate  way  and  whether  the  alliance  of  industries  en- 
gaged in  one  commodity  can  unite  for  common  ends. 

The  personality  of  Governor  Hughes,  of  New  York, 
will  be  injected  into  the  bench  of  judges  at  that  time,  and  it 
is  complimentary  to  that  great  lawyer  that  both  sides  are 
confident  of  fair  treatment  at  his  hands. 

The  article  published  in  our  last  issue  on  the  "Cigar  Mer- 
chants' Standing,"  from  the  able  pen  of  Albert  I).  Miller,  the 

Philadelphia  tobacconist,  has  struck  a  re- 
sponsive chord  among  cigar  merchants 
generally.  Mr.  .Miller  contended,  and 
rightfully,  too,  that  the  personnel  of  the 
men  behind  the  counter,  as  well  as  the  pro- 
prietors in  cigar  stores  to-day,  can  com|)are  in  character  and 
ability  with  the  merchants  in  any  other  legitimate  line. 

The  day  has  long  passed,  we  believe,  when  the  cigar  mer- 
chant can  be  looked  down  upon.  More  men  of  probity  and 
keen  business  judgment  are  being  attracted  every  day  to  the 
cigar  and  tobacco  business,  and  as  the  number  of  this  class 
increases,  the  weaklings  and  the  unscrupulous  are  being  elun- 
inated.  It  is  a  truism  that  all  men  will  eventually  fnid  their 
level,  and  this  applies  to  the  tobacco  trade  as  well  as  to  any 
other  branch  of  business. 

In  these  keen  days  of  competition,  when  business  is  a  duel 
of  wits  as  well  as  prices,  the  cigar  merchant  to  succeed  nuist  be 
a  man  of  no  ordinary  ability.  Mr.  Miller's  article  emphasizes 
all  these  points  emphatically,  and,  coming  as  they  do  from  a 
dealer,  are  particularly  appropriate.

Mr.  Mernam*s  Trip  Through  West. 

John  W.  Merriam  is  again  at  his  desk,  at  the  sign  of  the 
Bulldog,  having  returned  to  the  city  on  May  13th.  iMr.  Mer- 
riam put  in  three  weeks  through  Illinois,  Ohio,  Michigan  and 
Kentucky,  with  very  good  results,  and  found  his  line  of  cigars 
selling  well. 

Val.  G.  Smith  is  now  on  the  Missouri  River  doing  good 
work. 

F.  VV.  Klein  is  spending  a  few  days  in  New  York  before 
returning  to  Cleveland  and  other  points  in  Ohio  and  Michigan. 
Mr.  Klein  makes  his  beach juarters  in  Cleveland,  but  likes  to 
.see  New  York  once  in  a  while. 


Charles  Frankenthal,  of  Win.  Dumuth  &  Co.,  started  from 
New  York  on  May  12th  on  a  special  tri|)  to  the  Pacific  Coast. 
He  will  visit  the  principal  cities  and  be  away  about  a  month. 
Mr.  Frankenthal  has  full  charge  of  the  lH>reigii  Pipe  depart- 
ment of  this  firm,  which  includes  the  I'eterson,  Barling  and 
Loewe  brands  recently  ac(|uired  by  him  for  this  house,  and  to 
which  have  been  added  several  new  European  novelties,  for  all 
of  which  they  are  sole  V.  S.  agents. 


Sutter  Returns  From  Amsterdam. 

|OL'lS  P.  SUTTER,  of  Louis  P.  Sutter  &  Co.,  who  has 
been  in  Amsterdam  for  the  past  three  months  at- 
tending all  the  Inscriptions  up  to  the  sixth,  arrived  in 
New  York  on  the  "Ryndam"  May  24th,  and  two  days 
later  left  for  Chicago.  Mr.  Sutter  makes  his  head(|uarters  in 
Chicago,  but  spends  a  greater  part  of  his  time  at  his  stock 
farm  in  Delaware  Lake,  Wisconsin,  where  he  will  now  go  and 
enjoy  a  well-earned  rest. 

Milton  V.  Sutter,  in  speaking  for  his  house,  said  the 
Sumatra  situation  at  the  present  time  is  simply  one  of  supply 
and  demand,  the  demand  being  the  greater.  W  hile  there  is 
plenty  of  good  gooih  to  be  had  the  light  tobacco  which  most  of 
the  buyers  want  is  very  scarce  and  conse(|uently  very  high 
priced,  and  in  order  to  get  the  light,  large  assorted  (juantities 
must  be  purchased  and  afterwards  graded.  The  foreign  gov- 
ernments are  buying  in  large  (luantities  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  the  cigar  industry  over  there  is  not  in  a  prosperous  con- 
(htion.  Jt  is  estimated  that  in  Germany  alone  there  are  80,000 
cigarmakers  either  on  part  time  or  out  of  employment. 

Of  course,  on  the  whole  the  Sumatra  sui)ply  is  short  and 
this  country  will  sulTer  this  season  to  an  extent  of  about  11,000 
bales.  Jle  stated  they  had  purchased  about  1,000  bales  and 
hoped  to  get  considerably  more  through  their  Amsterdam 
brokers  during  the  coming  sales.  One  hundred  and  eighty-one 
bales  of  their  recent  purchases  came  over  on  the  "Rvndam". 
Mr.  Sutter  leaves  New  York,  June  ist,  on  a  special  trip  to 
Philadelphia  with  the  new  line  of  samples. 

Death  of  Harry  Hayv^ard. 

Harry  Hayward,  a  noted  authority  on  pipes  and  for  many 
years  pipe  expert  of  the  United  Cigar  Stores  Co.,  died  in  New 
York  on  May  i8th.  Mr.  Hayward  was  an  intimate  friend  of 
Mark  Twain's,  and  sold  to  the  noted  humorist  most  of  his 
tobacco  supplies  and  calabash  pipes.  The  deceased  was  born 
in  Colchester,  England,  on  March  21,  1866.  He  studied  the 
pipe  business  at  the  factory  bench  and  soon  became  an  expert. 
When  the  United  Cigar  Stores  Co.  was  formed  he  joined  that 
corporation  and  for  some  years  past  has  been  associated  with 
the  Flatiron  store  in  New  York. 


Tom  Allen  Incorporates  Cigar  Company. 

With  headquarters  at  Newark,  N.  J.,  the  Tom  Allen 
Cigar  Mfg.  Co.  has  been  incorporated  with  a  capital  of  125,-

Fredk.  M.  Pearse.  Under  the  charter  the  company  is  au- 
thorized to  manufacture  cigars,  cigarettes  and  cheroots. 

G.  W.  Spitzner,  the  well-known  seed  leaf  packer,  left  New 
York  on  May  i8th  for  Wisconsin.  He  expects  to  return  to  the 
city  about  June  ist.

JOHN    WARDLOW 
Prnident 

|ACK  of  every  business  wdiich  has  achieved  success  is  a 
brain  and  personality,  or  organization  of  brains  and 
j)ersonalities  which  is  deserving  of  study  by  all  keen 
merchants.  In  l(X)king  for  the  secret  of  the  rapid 
development  of  the  Ruy  Lopez  Ca.  in  the  last  five  years,  one 
finds  a  dual  combination  of  brains  and  personalities. 

The  men  behind  the  guns  in  the  Ruy  Lopez  business  are 
two  interesting  figures — John  Wardlow,  president,  and  Thomas 
G.  Thompson,  vice-president  and  treasurer. 

There  are  few  men  in  the  cigar  business  in  this  country 
who  are  better  known  and  more  popular  than  John  Wardlow. 
Born  in  the  Middle  W'est,  he  first  dipped  into  business  as  a 
traveling  salesman  for  a  tobacco  manufacturing  concern.  Later 
he  became  identified  with  Sanchez  &  Haya,  for  whom  he  trav- 
eled until  he  joined  the  Havana  Commercial  Co.,  making  his 
headquarters  in  Cuba's  capital.  About  seven  years  ago  Mr. 
Wardlow  went  to  New  York  to  join  the  Ruy  Lopez  Co.  Real- 
izing at  once  the  superior  facilities  of  Key  West  as  a  manu- 
facturing centre,  he  (juickly  arranged  to  move  the  factory  to 
Florida  and  laid  plans  for  its  development.  There  a  modern 
factory  Iniilding  was  erected,  which  was  a  model  of  modern 
facilities.     This    factory   was   destroyed   by   a   hurricane  last 


THOMAS  G.  THOMPSON 
Vice  Preaidenl  and  Tre«Mirer 

October,  since  which  time  the  company  has  l)een  operating  in 
temporary  (juarters,  pending  the  re-erection  of  the  building.  A 
new  building  is  now  one-third  completed  and  it  is  expected  to 
be  ready  for  occupancy  by  September  ist. 

It  was  a  most  fortunate  move  when  Mr.  Wardlow,  about 
four  years  ago,  secured  the  services  of  Thomas  (].  Thompson, 
who  has  just  recently  become  vice-president  and  treasurer  of 
the  company.  Mr.  Thompson  is  a  man  of  forceful  executive 
ability,  an  organizer  who  got  results,  and  a  director  of  sales- 
manship with  few  peers.  Mr.  Thompson  at  once  took  charge 
of  the  New  York  oflfice  and  Mr.  Wardlow  remained  at  Key 
West  to  direct  the  factory  end.  This  combination  has  prove<l 
its  worth  in  the  wonderful  development  of  the  Ruy  I^)pez  busi- 
ness. Mr.  Thompson  is  a  business  man  of  wide  experience, 
having  for  many  years  been  an  expert  auditor  connected  with 
some  of  the  largest  audit  companies  in  New  York.  He  was 
born  in  Newcastle,  luigland,  in  1870,  and  came  to  New  York 
about  thirty  years  ago.  Upon  the  death  of  Mr.  Le  Roy  Barrett 
last  July,  an  opportunity  was  offered  Mr.  Thompson  to  acquire 
an  interest  in  the  firm,  and  since  his  advent  as  a  partner  he  has 
taken  a  deeper  interest  than  ever  in  the  company's  affairs.  His 
New  York  oftices  are  at  88  Fulton  street. 


Charles  Abraham  Succeeds  H.  C.  Hayward. 

Charles  Abraham  has  been  engaged  by  the  United  Cigar 
Stores  Co.  to  succeed  the  late  Harry  C.  Hayward  as  the  pipe 
expert  of  that  company.  Mr.  Abraham  is  an  experienced  pipe 
man,  having  for  many  years  been  associated  with  Erlich  & 
Kopf,  Boston  pipe  manufacturers. 

James  C.  Glaccum,  of  William  Glaccum  &  Sons,  is  ex- 
pected home  on  June  ist.  Mr.  Glaccum,  who  left  New  York 
about  a  month  ago,  has  been  out  as  far  west  as  Butte,  Montana, 
and,  judging  from  reports  at  the  New  York  office,  the  factory 
will  have  plenty  to  do  for  some  time  to  come. 

John  H.  Goetze.  of  John  H.  Goetze  &  Co.,  sailed  on  May 
17th  for  Amsterdam  to  participate  in  the  June  inscriptions,  and 
will  have  a  good  line  of  Sumatra  upon  his  return  in  July. 


New  Revenue  Collector  Appointed. 

Dr.  Frederick  L.  Marshall  has  been  appointed  Collector  of 
Internal  Revenue  for  the  Third  District  of  New  York,  succeed- 
ing r>rdinand  Frdman.  He  is  a  graduate  of  the  New  York 
College  of  Dentistry  and  has  served  as  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Alderman.     He  will  probably  assume  his  duties  this  week. 

The  A.  P.  Parascouly  Co.,  of  New  York,  has  !)een  incor- 
porated with  a  capital  of  $50,000  to  manufacture  and  deal  in 
cigars,  cigarettes,  snuff,  pipes,  etc.  The  incorporators  are 
Thomas  Adam,  Thomas  J.  Bannon  and  Charles  Marks,  all  of 
New  York  City. 

James  G.  Driscoll.  of  Ruth  &  Driscoll,  the  well-known 
brokers  and  representatives  of  R,  G.  Sullivan  7-20-4  cigars,  is 
to  be  married  on  June  8th,

An  English  Tobacco  Prospectus. 

Interesting  Details  Concerning  the  Progress  of  Tobacco  Culture 

in  British  South  Africa. 

]\E  T(»bacco  Company  ui  Rhodesia  an<l  South  Africa. 
Ltd..  ra|)italized  at  Xj5(),cxk).  is  now  offering  shares 
of  /i  each.  The  direct(>rs'  names  include  men  most 
eminent  in  South  African  affairs  and  show  how  eager 
the  foremost  men  of  the  day  are  to  invest  their  shekels  and  their 
energies  in  tobacco  raising. 

The  facts  of  most  interest  found  in  the  prospectus,  briefly 
state<I.  arc  these: 

T«>bacco  culture  <lates  back  in  Rhodesia  to  a  remote  perio<l. 
It  is  the  fine  cjtiality  possible  to  be  grown  there,  also,  which  has 
stimulated  the  liriti.sh  South  .African  Company  to  promote  the 
production  of  the  best  varieties  of  leaf.  It  is  the  assets  and 
information  of  this  company  which  the  new  Rhodesia  Company 
will  take  over. 

Rhodesia  is  now  making  both  Turkish  and  Virginia  types 
of  tobacco,  and  the  finished  product  is  ])ronounced  excellent. 

Warehouses  are  at  Salisbury  and  Rulawayo,  where  the 
leaf  is  deposited  for  treatment  and  sale.  Here  the  new  com- 
pany will  deal  direct  with  the  growers  and  extend  needed  assist- 
ance, including  cash  advances.  Labor  at  reasonable  wages  is 
said  to  be  plentiful. 

Virginian  types  of  Rhodesia  grown  tobacco  sell  quickly, 
the  crop  for  tqoq  having  fetched  under  the  hammer  in  Januar\' 
an  average  of  js.  2d.  (20  cents.  American  money).  The 
Turkish  types  are  in  an  experimental  stage. 

The  application  of  modern  machinery,  coupled  with  the 
best  known  methods  of  cultivation,  promise  to  make  the  indus- 
try one  of  importance. 

Local  grown  tobacco  pays  no  taxes  in  Rhodesia,  but  im- 
ported goods  are  taxed  3.^.  ftd.  per  pound.

Gitt  Co.  Paying  Loeb  Creditors. 
^^^  Formally  Takes  Charge  of  Affairs. 

ir\]  ^  Tlinrsday.  .May  2611],  the  If.  N.  Gitt  Company  for- 
\j^J  '"'^^'y  ^'^''^'  t'harge  of  the  alTairs  of  Loeb  &  Co.,  of 
[WBHB  '^^'^^'  ^^^''J^'  ^1'^'  personal  assets  of  H.  N.  Gitt  and 
also  the  capital  stock  of  a  string  of  cigar  concerns 
which  were  formerly  financed  thn.ugh  Loeb  &  Co.,  and  are  as 
follows : 

American  &  West  Indies  Sales  Co.,  New  York;  American 
\\est  Indies  Trading  Company,  \ew  York;  Centennial  Cigar 
Company.  Centenmal,  I'a. ;  K.  M.  P.rash  Cigar  Company,  Lan- 
caster, I'a. ;  Gettier  Cigar  Comi)any.  Manchester,  Md. ;  Key-

Aside  from  the  fact  that  the  Hoard  of  Directors  of  the 
H.  .\.  Gitt  Com|)any  will  C(.nstitute  the  Uoard  of  Directors  of 
the  subsi(hary  concerns,  they  will  all  conduct  their  business 
under  their  own  respective  (Jirection. 

This  arrangement  was  made  possible  by  securing  the  as- 
sent of  nearly  all  the  creditors  of  the  concerns  involved,  and 
which  was  done,  and  although  the  affairs  were  much  compli- 
cated they  have  been  adjusted  to  the  point  where  it  was  pos- 
sible t«»  bring  about  this  solution,  which  in  eftect  is  virtually 
the  taking  (.ver  of  the  afTairs  by  a  holding  company,  and  the 
officers  and  directors  of  which  are  as  follows:

"Pulliam"  Cigars  in  the  West. 

The  merits  of  the  "Pulliam"  cigars  from  the  factory  of 
Herman  Warner  &  Co..  at  York,  Pa.,  are  now  being  exploited 
throughout  the  Mi(Mle  West.  Mr.  Seth  Warner,  of  the  firm, 
has  just  returned  to  factory  hea(l<juarters,  after  a  few  weeks 
spent  in  the  more  important  trade  centres  of  that  section,  and 
tlie  result  is  that  the  brand  has  been  placed  with  the  principal 
ilistributors  in  eleven  of  the  most  advantageous  points. 

I-'actory  f(jrces  have  been  increased,  and  the  demand  is 
daily  becoming  greater  for  "Pulliams."  Their  announcement 
says  that  it  is  a  cigar  for  the  fans  and  other  connoisseurs,  and 
so  it  seems. 

Every  city  visited  by  Mr.  Warner  had  heard  of  the  "Pul- 
liam"  brand,  becau.se  of  the  publicity  given  it,  and  the  line 
was  placed  with  i)rogressive  houses  with  little  difficulty. 

The  princii)al  reasons  were  that,  first,  the  goods  possessed 
the  (juality  which  is  so  essential  to  a  good  smoke,  and  secondly, 
the  firm's  method  of  aiding  distributors  in  placing  the  goods 
with  live  retailers  by  means  of  ample  supplies.  Appropriate 
advertising  matter  was  also  a|)preciated,  and  consequently  both 
the  manufacturers  and  dealers  have  gocxl  reason  to  feel  pleased. 

There  is  still  very  desirable  territory  open  to  progressive 
houses,  who  are  invited  to  send  in  a  trial  order  and  receive  with 
the  goods  a  supply  of  advertising  matter. 


Partners  Disagree — Equity  Suit  Follows. 

Charles  J.  Lederman,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  has  filed  a  bill 
in  e(|uity  against  Louis  Sondheimer,  also  of  that  city.  The 
plaintiff  in  the  bill  filed  alleges  that  a  partnership  was  formed 
on  March  28,  1910,  for  the  purchase  of  leaf  tobacco;  that 
under  the  agreement  entered  into  the  plaintiff  was  to  get  one- 
third  of  the  profits  made  on  all  tobacco  purchased.  He  alleges 
that  the  defendant  has  refused  to  divulge  to  him  any  of  the 
transactions  made  in  which  he  is  interested.  He  prayed  for  a 
receiver  for  the  partnership,  and  that  the  defendant  be  re- 
strained from  disposing  of  the  assets  or  collecting  aiiv  out- 
standing accounts.  The  court  granted  a  |)reliminarv  injunc-

New  Tobacco  Buildings  in  South. 

I.  G.  Lawrence,  of  Durham,  N.  C,  was  recently  awarded

to  be  located  on  the  lot  recently  purchased  by  the  company, 
fronting  on  Main  and  Church  streets,  Winston-Salem,  N.  C. 
The  new  building  will  cost  about  $45,000,  and  will  be  of  mill

Winston-Salem,  N.  C,  will  be  situated  immediately  south  of  the 
Imperial  Tobacco  Co.'s  building. 


At  Wellsburg,  W.  Va.,  a  large  b.t  on  College  street 
between  Fourth  and  Fifth  streets,  has  been  br.ught  for  a 
loose  tobacco  warelutu.se  and  a  contract  let  for  a  concrete 
building.  lUisiness  will  be  done  after  the  r.ouisvilli,'

Oversold  on  Little  Wm.  Penn. 


I    A    1 1    llic    I  lunhald  \-  ( )i)j)cnheimer  Co.  factories,  there 
lj««^  I     is  i^rtat  aiti\ity  at  j)reseiU.     Sales  have  been  piliiij^ 

tWKR]     '"   •"    •'    ''ip'''    J*'*^*-'   f'"'  their  "Little   Win.    Penn," 
wilii   the  result    that   they  are  now  oversold  more 
than  j,()tx),(XKj. 

riiis  size  of  the  popular  "Wm.  I'enn"  cij^ar  was  just 
recently  hrouj^ht  (tut,  an<l  made  an  instantaneous  hit.  A 
catch  phrase  used  in  the  introduction — Half  the  price,  half 
the  size — has.  it  appears,  been  iniitate<l  by  certain  unscru- 
pulitus  tradesmen,  who  have  virtually  apj)ropriated  it  with- 
out re-ard.  We  learn,  however,  that  the  T.  i't  O.  Co.  do 
not  propose  t»t  let  such  plaj^iarism  ^o  unchallenged. 

We  venture  the  oi)inion  that  if  the  firm  is  forced  into  it, 
their  action  will  be  sharp  and  decisive. 

Havana   Ribbon  Breaks  Record. 

Last  Monday  a  week  the  banner  shipments  of  "Havana 
l\il»bon"  cit^ars.  made  by  P.ayuk  Ilros.,  of  this  city,  was

mornini;*s,  mail  of  that  day.  orders  were  received  for  350,00(J. 
and  that  inllux  continued  throuj^hout  the  day. 

Kcmittances  aj^j^rej^atiiii;  over  ^.ooo  were  also  con- 
tained in  the  early  mail,  and  the  receipts  i)i  the  day  were  the 
larj4;est  on  record. 

This  was  shortly  after  the  return  from  Kurojie  of  Mr. 
Samuel  L.ayuk.  who  was  hij^hly  elated  with  the  way  in 
whiih  the  business  had  been  handled  durinjj^  his  absence. 
•And  it  was  also  pleasiiij;  to  note  that  these  orders  came  from 
a  diversilied  territory,  showing  that  the  "Havana  Ribbon" 
cigars  are  becoming  favorites  at  many  points.

progress  on  their  "Counsellor"  brand  during  the  past  two  or 
three  months.  From  all  points  outside  of  Philadelphia,  busi- 
ness .seems  to  keep  fully  up  to  the  standard.  The  sales  force 
has  again  been  increased  by  securing  the  services  of  James  A. 
McKenna,  who  was  formerly  a  salesman  with  Duncan  &

liethlehcni.  where  the  house  has  an  old  established  trade.  Si)e- 
cial  mention  was  also  made  of  the  good  results  obtained  by  F. 
IC.  and  S.  J.  JJrown.  both  of  whom  have  been  for  several  years 
with  this  firm  and  have  constantly  increased  their  volume  of 
business.  J.  W'.  Levy,  who  also  has  a  wide  reputation  in  the 
city  as  a  salesman  of  meritorious  cigars,  has  landed  big  busi- 
ness on  the  "Counsellor."

The  consensus  of  opinion  among  the  retailers  in  the  city 
is  that  there  has  been  a  uniform  improvement  in  the  trade  dur- 
ing the  past  fortnight.  This  statement  would  seem  to  be  veri- 
fied by  the  cigar  manufacturers,  who  also  state  that  tiiere  has 
been  a  gain  in  the  volume  of  business  they  are  doing  locally. 

Logan  Succeeds  Boch. 

After  succeeding  to  the  retail  business  of  the  Iloch  Cigar 
Company,  at  1347  Walnut  street,  and  from  which  R.  W.  lU>ch 
retired  a  short  time  ago,  the  store  has  beeiv  completely  re- 
arranged and  transformed  by  C.  D.  Logan,  the  new  proprietor. 
Mr.  l>och  is  still  in  impaired  health  and  this  is  said  to  have  been 
the  real  cause  of  his  retirement  at  this  time.  Mr.  Logan  has 
retained  the  services  of  Jolui  liowers  as  clerk,  but  will  give  the 
business  his  close  personal  attention. 


Another  advertising  campaign  is  soon  to  be  opened  in  this 
city  on  the  "Tom  Keene"  brand  of  Hondy  &  Lederer,  of  New 
York,  and  which  are  distributed  here  by  Cioldsmith  &  .\nidt. 
Cardboard  signs  have  been  prepared,  which  depict  Tom  Keene, 
the  former  noted  actor,  handing  out  a  box  of  "Tom  Keene" 
cigars  to  a  clul)man  who  is  reclining  in  an  arm  chair.  It  is  an 
artistic  piece  of  work  and  can  be  very  advantageously  used  in 
window  displays. 

Yahn  &  McDonnell  are  celebrating  their  seventh  business 
anniversary.  b>om  the  inception  of  this  business,  their  every 
effort  has  been  crowned  with  success,  and  they  steadily  worked 
their  way  into  the  front  ranks  of  the  retail  trade  in  this  city. 
Catering  especially  to  a  high  class  of  patrons  they  naturally 
carried  such  a  line  of  the  best  goods,  and  to  this  fact  they 
attribute  their  success. 

.  A  local  Havana  importing  firm  reiK)rts  the  sale  of  300  bales 
of  Havana  tobacco  to  a  manufacturing  establishment.  This  is 
the  sales  .sale  of  more  than  average  (juantity  which  local  liou>es 
have  participated  in  lately  and  it  has  given  this  city  consider- 
able additional  prestige  as  an  Havana  market. 

Harry  Strater,  of  the  Strater  Tobacco  Co.,  Louisville, 
Ky.,  was  in  town  last  week.  There  was  recently  placed  in 
this  market  the  "Hindoo"  granulated  plug  cut,  retailing  at 
ten  cents,  and  met  with  a  good  reception  here. 

The  Griffin-Keegan  Company  are  still  directing  their 
efforts  to  a  wider  distribution  of  the  "Aplomo"  clear  Havana 
cigars  from  the  factory  of  Solomon  I»ros.  &  Stern,  of  Xevv 
York.    The  goods  are  being  shown  in  fifteen  sizes. 

A  new  retail  cigar  store  and  pool  room  has  been  opened 
at  1030  Filbert  street  by  Joseph  McCarthy,  it  is  being  e(|uip- 
ped  in  a  mission  style  of  furniture  and  will  no  doubt  present 
an  attractive  appearance.  The  store  will  be  opened  as  soon  as 
the  fixtures  can  be  installed. 

A.  S.  Valentine  &  Sons'  Phila(lelj)hia  factories  have  been 
rushed  the  past  two  months  to  supi)ly  the  trade.  They  have 
not  only  done  a  big  business  on  their  regular  brands,  but  have 
developed  a  tremendous  trade  in  their  special  grades. 

Representatives  of  the  Makaroflf  Company  of  America, 
makers  of  the  "MakarofF"  cigarettes  in  IJoston,  have  been  in 
this  city  lately  and  installed  a  large  number  of  very  attractive 
window  displays. 


Benjamin  N.  Duke,  of  the  American  Tobacco  Co.  and  a 
brother  of  James  B.  Duke,  president  of  that  cori)oration,  is 
seriously  ill  at  his  home  in  Durham,  N.  C,  with  typhoid  fever. 
His  physicians  look  for  his  early  recovery. 


Standards  for  Thirty  Years. 

In  the  advertising  columns  of  thi>  issue  will  be  found  an 
announcement  of  Ceorge  S.  Miller  ^H:  Co.,  P»>ttsiown.  Pa., 
makers  of  the  "(ienl.  Schuyler"'  and  "Ambrosia"  brands  of 
cigars,  selling  at  ten  and  five  cents,  ropectively. 

This  firm  is  one  of  the  ol«le>t  in  tliat  section  of  the  Slate.

under  the  firm  name  of  Shively.  Miller  ^:  Co..  which  firm  Mib- 
se(|uently  renuwed  to  Pottstown.  and  later  it  was  disst)lved,  and 
succeeded  by  (ieorge  .^.   Miller  ^:  Co. 

l>oth  of  the  alcove  brands  were  fir>t  placed  on  the  market 
many  years  ago  and  each  gained  a  wide  rei)utation  an<l  an 
extensive  trade  followed.  .More  recently,  after  the  death  of  Mr. 
George  S.  Miller,  younger  bliMul  entered  the  Imsinos.  and  they 
are  striking  out  more  vigorously  than  wa>  ever  done  before. 

Their  product  the  firm  declares  has  been  much  impr. »ved 
and  is  now  packed  in  a  most  attractive  package,  making  it  more 
inviting  to  dealers  to  handle.  The  "(ieneral  Schnvler"  cij^ar  i><

That  cigarettes  are  immensely  popular  with  many  smokers, 
to  the  exclusion  of  the  cigar  and  pipe,  is  shown  by  stati>tics  (»b- 
tained  for  the  first  three  months  of  the  current  vear.  The 
figures  at  hand  indicate  that  during  that  j)eri(Ml  tlie  output  of

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


How  Manufacturers  Can  Comply  With  New  Law. 
Commissioner  Cabel  Prepares  Instructions  for  Guidance  of  Makers. 

\\'asiiin(/k>n,  D.  C,  May  3iNt. 

I  w-s  Y  >\\  the  guidance  of  manufacturers  of  tobacco,  cigars, 

I  M      \     cigartttcs  and   snuff,  ConiniissioiRT  of   Internal  Kcv- 

r^BBj     (ihu-.   Royal    I'..  ('al)C'l,  is  prcparin}^'  a  list  of  instruc- 

tioiiv   relative  to  the  i»r<»vision.s  of  the  Tariff  .Act  of 


.\n;4n>t  5.  I'/x^  which  j(o  into  effect  on  July  ist  next.  These 
in>trnctioiis,  wliich  so<»n  will  he  <li.stril)Ute(l  to  the  niannfac- 
turers  by  the  collectors,  j)oint  out  the  chanj^es  in  the  rate  of 
taxation  and  the  new  methods  to  be  employed  by  the  manu- 
facturers V>  cnmj)l\    with  the  new  law. 

<  >n  account  of  the  chanj^e  in  the  tax  rates  every  manu- 
facturer of  tobacco  and  its  products  will  be  re(juired  on  July 
1st.  before  opening;  for  business,  to  take  an  actual  inventory  of 
his  stock  of  toh,iec(»  materials,  stamped  and  unstami)ed  pro- 
ducts, attached  and  unattached  internal  revenue  stamps  on 
hand  in  his  factory  on  that  date.  Manufacturers  who  pro- 
duce larj^'e  cigars  exclusively,  and  they  alone,  will  not  be  re- 
<|uireil  to  take  an  inventory,  as  the  tax  rate  of  ."s^  per  thousand 
on  their  product  remains  unchanged. 

The  necessary  blanks,  b'orm  70a  (revised  September, 
vt<^)),  and  b'orm  job  (new  blank),  for  the  taking  of  the  re- 
<|nired  invent<»ries,  will  be  distributed  by  collectors  not  later 
than  June  joth.  next.  The  new  blank  (Form  /ob),  which  will 
be  used  on  and  after  July  i,  1910,  by  all  manufacturers  (►f 
cigars  and  cigarettes,  provides  for  inventorying  stami)ed  manu- 
factures and  attached  stamps  in  addition  to  nnstamj)ed  cigars 
an<l  cigarettes  and  unattached  stamps  on  hand.  luich  in- 
ventory will  have  to  be  verified  by  a  deputy  collector. 

Commissioner  Cabel  in  his  instructions  will  caution  manu- 
facturers to  exercise  the  utmost  care  to  see  that  their  in- 
ventories on  both  the  ol<l  and  the  new  forms  are  absolutely 
correct  in  every  particular,  and  include  all  t(>bacco  material 
for  the  outside  storage  of  which  special  permission  has  been 
obtained,  for  the  reason  that  their  accoiuits  are  determined 
thereby.  Xo  amended  inventory,  which  is  iWt'i]  after  the  manu- 
facturer receives  notice  of  a  deficiency  in  his  accounts,  will  be 
considered. 

The  Commissioner  will  further  serve  notice  in  his  in- 
structions that  <Mi  and  after  July  i,  1910,  cigars  and  cigarettes 
will  be  reganled  as  "removed  tax  paid",  when  the  same  (prop- 
erly packed  and  stamj)ed,  etc.),  leave  the  bonded  factory  prem- 
ises, and  will  be  s<>  reported  by  manufacturers  at  the  close  of 
the  day  on  which  the  stamped  packages  arc  removed  from  the 
factory  instead  of  when  stamps  are  affixed  to  packages,  as  at 
present.  .Stamps  will  be  reported  used  also  at  the  close  of  the 
<lay  <»f  the  removal  from  the  factory  of  the  packages  to  which 
the  stamps  are  affixed. 

In  this  cinmection  the  Commissioner  says,  care  must  be 
taken  by  manufacturers  of  large  cigars,  exclusively,  not  to  re- 
port as  removed  tax  paid  on  or  after  July  ist,  cigars  which  have 
been  reported  removed  tax  paid  at  the  time  the  stamps  were 
affixe«l  to  the  packages,  before  that  date,  and  which  stamped 
l)ackages  may  be  on  hand  when  the  change  in  the  method  of 
reporting  is  made.  This  caution  is  regarded  by  the  Commis- 
sioner as  necessary  to  prevent  the  same  cigars  being  reported 
twice  as  removed  tax  paid. 

( )ther  changes  have  been  made  in  cigar  and  cigarette 
manufacturers'  b(K>ks,  l-'onn  73;  monthly  returns.  Form  ^2; 
and  inventory,  lM)rm  70b,  which  make  it  necessary  for  cigar 
and  cigarette  manufacturers  to  provide  themselves  with  new 
books  (73)  for  use  on  and  after  Jidy  Tst,  and  to  use  the  re- 
vised T'Orm  y2  of  monthly  return,  begimiing  with  the  return 
for  the  month  of  Julv  next. 


The  cigar  factory  of  Newton  S.  Orsland.  138  LcKust  street, 
I)etn>it.  Mich.,  was  damaged  by  fire  to  the  extent  of  $2,000  on 
the  12th  ult. 


Cigar  Price  Tag  Holders. 


\1- 


{m^ 


over  street 


of   the  most   useful    articles     for    the    ])rogressive 

ealer  is  a  neat  price  tag  holder,  for  use  on  boxes  on 

isj)lay  in  show  cases  or  on  counters. 

The   Milwaukee   Novelty   Company,   of  390  11  an- 

.  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  is  the  manufacturer  of  such  an 

article  and  which  is  alreadv 
in  use  in  a  large  number 
of  establishments  through- 
out the  country. 

This  cigar  price  tag 
holder  can  be  attached  from 
either  end  or  top  of  the 
cover,  and  it  holds  the  tag 
l)erfectly.  The  i)rice  tags 
are  printed  in  two  colors 
and  are  furnished  in  thirty 
different  designs  at  prices 
that  are  reasonable. 


Selling  Direct  From  Factory. 

There  are  probably  not  many  successful  cigar  manufac- 
turers who  sell  all  their  product  direct  from  the  factory,  and, 
therefore,  A.  1).  Killheffer,  of  Millersville,  Pa.,  is  an  exception. 
And  yet  his  goods  have  found  their  way  intt)  many  sections  of 
the  country,  where  many  friends  have  been  made. 

\\y  doing  a  mail  order  business  exclusively,  Mr.  Killheffer, 
wIkj  bears  the  reinitation  of  being  an  expert  judge  of  tobacco 
<|uality,  is  enabled  to  devote  his  time  to  the  manufacture  of  his 
go<»ds,  and  besides  he  declares  that  by  eliminating  the  middle- 
man he  is  in  a  position  to  successfully  meet  competition  and 
give  dealers  the  advantage  of  better  prices  than  could  be  done 
if  an  expensive  selling  plan  were  being  conducted. 

It  has  been  fre(|Uently  observed  that  really  «lull  periods 
are  almost  unknown  at  this  factory,  and  by  maintaining  a  uni- 
form force  of  cigarmakers  prompt  shijHiients  can  be  assured. 

Particular  stress  is  laid  upon  the  "Patrick  Gordon"  brand 
from  this  factory,  and  which  is  |K)rtrayed  in  an  announcement 
in  the  advertising  columns  of  this  issue.  In  addition  to  this  the 
factory  also  produces  the  following:  "King  High,"  "Cuban 
l>rownies,"  "Mandolay,"  "Forecaster,"  "Lord  Kroyden"  and 
others. 


J.  J.  Planco,  of  Ruy  Suarez  &  Co.,  will  be  back  about  June 
loth  from  his  western  trip.  "Jack"  consummated  one  hand- 
some deal  in  Chicago  that  proves  the  popularity  of  these  high- 
grade  goods,  and  which  means  an  additional  number  of  cigar- 
makers  to  the  factory.  Hall,  Lyons  &  Co.,  of  Providence, 
K.  L,  with  their  several  stores,  and  B.  Lett,  of  Boston,  have 
also  fallen  into  line  since  he  left  New  York. 

(ionzalez,  Fisher  &  Co.,  of  Tampa,  F1a.,  have  incorporated 
under  New  \'ork  laws  with  ^^50,000  capital  to  deal  in  tobacco 
in  all  forms.  Incorporators  as  given  in  the  application:  C.  A. 
Davidson,  M.  Ash  and  ¥.  Wiesbader,  all  of  New  York  City. 

The  Louis  Kindling  Co.  opened  its  new  building  at  350 
Broadway,  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  to  the  public  on  May  14th,  where 
150  men  and  girls  are  now  employed  making  cigars  at  the  rate 
of  20,000  daily. 

R.  G.  Sullivan,  of  Manchester,  N.  IL,  visited  New  York 
on  the  20th  ult.  During  a  short  stay  of  two  days  he  purchased 
a  Peerless  Touring  Car  and,  accompanied  by  his  two  daughters, 
motored  back  to  his  home. 

Charles  &  Oscar  Lehman,  cigar  manufacturers,  at  Dolger- 
ville,  N.  Y.,  have  made  an  assignment  to  F.  R.  Stone  for  the 
benefit  of  their  creditors.

during  the  past  few  years.  The  s.mI  of  Cabell  and  the  sur-

latter  lirni  will  be  in  possession  of  the  factory  building  the 
early  part  of  June,  the  terms  of  the  sale  giving  them  official 
possession  (unr  ist.  (lonzales.  h'isher  \-  Co.  h.ave  leased  the 
oM  Sanchez  \-  I  lava  factory  here  and  will  move  their  forces 
into  it  immediately.  The  terms  of  the  sale  to  the  Herrimans 
were  |)rivate. 

'I  he  purchase  of  the  ( ioiizales.    h'isher   factorv   by    P>erri- 
man  llrothers.  represented  by  M.  \V.   Ilerriman.  came  as  cjuite 
a  sur|)rise.     True,  the  resignation  r)f  A.    Xistal.  general  man- 
ager ..f  the   (ionzales.    hisher  ^'   Co.   business   here,   who   will 
retire  fmm  the  tirm  shortly  and  travel  for  his  health,  was  con- 
sidered but  a  f<»rerunner  of  changes  in  the  modus  operandi  <.f 
that   tirm.  but   it   was  generally    thought    that    the     I'.errimans 
W(.uld  build  a  new  home  when  the  announced  the  sale  of  their 
present   factory  to  the  Morgan  Cigar  Comj)any.     However,  in 
tlie  (;onzales.  I''isher  &  Co.  building  they  have  secured  a  splen- 
<lid  home,  and  one  which  will  allow  them  to  double  their  pres- 
ent  out|)ut.      The    factory   was  erected   immediatelv   after  the 
great  tire  .)f  March   i.   |<><),S.    and  it  is    a    model    of    practical 
arrangement,  architectural  beauty  of  design  and  is  splendidly 
c.nstructed.     All  modern   features  are  embodied   in    its    con- 
struction. 

As  noted,  the  purchase  of  the  (ionzales,  lusher  factory 
brings  about  several  changes.  .Sanchez  an<l  Haya  have  been 
busy  all  this  week  moving  into  their  new  factory,  the  furniture 
and  fittings  and  tobacco  stocks,  shoving  the  workmen  who  are 
fmishing  uj)  the  building  (|uite  hard.  Vice-President  Torre 
•  ledares,  however,  that  he  will  be  entirely  out  of  the  old  fac- 
tory by  the  1st  and  at  work  in  the  new  one.  This  will  allow 
(ionzales,  l-'isher  iS:  Co.  imme<liate  possession  of  the  old  San- 
chez and  Ilaya  building. 

It  is  ainiounced  here  that  the  Janasa  and  CofTe  Steam- 
shij)  and  importing  Comi)any  would  shortly  establish  a  line 
of  steamers  between  this  port  and  Central  American  and  West 
Indian  jx.rts.  and  Baltimore,  giving  this  city  direct  water 
communication  with  the  latter  port.  The  Mallory  line,  oper- 
ating out  of  here  to  Xew  York,  enjoys  an  excellent'  cigar 
freight  from  here  now.  and  this  Baltimore  line  will  give  manu- 
facturers ad<litional  shipi)ing  facilities  by  water  t..  P.altimore 
and  1  Joints  in  the  .Middle  States  via  P.altimore. 

With  the  «.utj>ut  of  clear  Havana  cigars  over  the  millinn- 
a-day  mark,  the  factories  here  are  running  in  excellent  time 
with  full  forces  at  work,  and  the  orders  are  coming  in  in  a  verv 
satisfactory  manner.  Imports  of  leaf  from  Cuba  for  the 
month  ending  to-day  totals  3.107  bales.  Considering  the  sea- 
son, the  orders  that  are  being  received,  and  their  size,  all  tends 
to  confirm  the  feeling  and  belief  that  1910  is  going  to  prove 
the  banner  year  in  the  manufacturer  of  high  grade  cigars  at 
this  place. 

M.  W.  P.erriman  and  Manuel  Sanchez,  resident  manager 
of  the  P.erriman  factory  here,  have  gone  to  Havana  to  look 
over  the  leaf  market. 


b.dward  Sachs,  who  represents  ilalbin  Prothers  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  ( mi<l(lle  territ(jry).  has  been  si)ending  several 
days  here  visiting  friends  and  looking  over  the  manufacturing 
industry  closely,  ile  left  for  Xew  \'ork  during  the  week  and 
will  go  back  to  his  territory  from  that  point. 

\ice-J 'resident  Torre,  of  the  Sanchez  and  Ilaya  tirm.  is 
glad  that  tlie  business  of  looking  after  a  new  factory  in  the 
course  of  its  constructi«»n  is  about  over,  and  is  doui)ly  gla«l 
that  they  will  now  have  room  enough  l<.  handle  their  business 
which  capable  and  energetic  management  has  been  steadilv 
increasing. 

A.  P.  Cuesta.  (jf  the  great  linn  of  Cuesta,  Key  &  Co.,  is 
spen<ling  some  time  at  the  factory  at  present,  and  is  a  welcome 
addition  to  the  social  life  of  the  cigarmaking  C(»lony.  Mr. 
Cuesta  is  most  oj)timistic  over  conditions  about  the  country 
generally,  and  is  well  j)leased  with  the  growth  of  the  demand 
for  their  excellent  product.  (iKokc.i-:  P.i.akdom:. 

To  Rebuild  El  Sidelo  Factory  Destroyed  by  Fire.

I  IP  ]l  SII)1':P()'S  new  home,  which  Samuel  I.  Davis  &  Co. 
iX^  hoped  to  occuj)y  July  i,  was  practically  destroyed  by

tion (»f  the  massive  tower  an<l  the  tower  base,  in  which 
were

being  built  the  offices  ior  the  firm,  the  factory  is  a  total 
Contractor  John  11.  Drew  had  $25,000  builders'  insur- 
ance on  the  structure,  the  ccmtract  price  of  which  was  .S5.000. 
and  it  was  estimated  that  work  between  $35.()(X)  and  840,000 
Iwid  been  done.  The  net  loss,  therefore,  is  estimated  at  between 
Si2.<Kx)  and  Sr4.(XK). 

It  is  the  consensus  (»f  oj)inion  that  the  fire  originated  from 
a  tinner's  furnace  which  ha<l  been  left  on  the  roof  and  in  which 
some  fire  still  burned.  The  fire  started  about  4.15  o'clock  in  the 
aftenuMMi.  shortly  after  the  men  had  (|uit  work.  The  West 
Fampa  hire  1  )ei)artnient.  sup|)lemente(l  by  a  comi)any  from  the 
ram|)a  establishment,  after  a  hard  fight  saved  the  tower  and 
its  base.  Two  firemen  narrowly  escaped  death.  W  ith  charac- 
teristic energy,  it  was  announced  that  the  work  of  rebuilding 
the  factory  would  commence  at  once.  bVed  Davis,  of  the  fimi, 
was  in  the  city  when  the  fire  occurred  and  he  and  the  firm's 
local  representative.  Mr.  Levy,  were  in  conference  with  Con- 
tractor Drew  with  this  end  in  view  before  the  fire  engines  had 
ceased  pmnping  on  the  ruins. 

The  factory  was  an  imj)osing  structure  some  2(X)  feet  long, 
three  stories  and  a  basement.  The  tower  was  y^  feet  high. 
The  tower  and  its  base  will  not  have  to  be  rebuilt.  Actual  work 
of  rebuilding  will  commence  in  the  next  few  davs.  ^^eantime 
the  Samuel  I.  Davis  iS:  Co.  will  continue  business  at  their  old

Ruins  of  the  El  Sidelo  Factory 


Steady  Increase  Reported  at  Key  West. 
More  Cigarmakers  Engaged  to  Meet  the  Demand. 

Key  W'k.st,  Fla..  May  24th. 
CSIXESS  has  taken  a  decided  spurt  in  the  last  two 
weeks  and  most  of  the  factories  have  been  obliged  to 
take  i>n  more  cigarmakers.  I'.ach  week's  business 
more  firmly  convinces  the  manufacturers  that  1910 
will  be  the  best  year  in  the  history  of  the  cigar  manufacturing 
business  in  this  city. 

Every  manufacturer  in  Key  West  is  very  much  interested 
in  the  DenKxrratic  primary  which  will  be  held  on  June  jlh.  The 
office  which  attracts  the  greatest  amount  of  attention  is  that  of 
United  States  Senator.  James  V.  Taliaferro,  one  of  the  can- 
didates. siw)ke  to  a  large  audience  last  night.  He  has  been  a 
great  friend  of  the  clear  Havana  manufacturer,  having,  dur- 
ing his  eleven  years  of  service  in  the  Cnite<l  States  Senate. 
opix)sed  every  measure  that  was  detrimetal  to  their  interests. 

Some  of  the  manufacturers  had  a  novel  experience  last 
week.  They  were  obliged  to  close  their  shops  for  the  reason 
that  many  of  the  strippers  would  not  work  for  fear  of  Halley's 
comet.  They  worked  only  indifTercntly  during  the  first  j)art 
of  the  week,  but  on  Wednesday,  the  day  the  earth  was  sched- 
uled to  pass  through  the  tail,  they  remained  at  home  and  kept 
their  doors  closed.  Some  of  the  cigarmakers  told  their  fore- 
men good-bye  early  in  the  week  and  left  f»)r  Cuba,  saying  that 
they  were  going  home  to  die  with  their  people  and  in  their 
native  land.  Most  of  them  returned  to  work  on  Thursday 
looking  very  sheepish. 

R.  Fernandez,  of  the  K.  l*'ernandez  Havana  ("igar  Com- 
pany, returned  from  his  Western  trip  last  week.  I  Fe  expects 
to  go  to  Cuba  next  week  for  the  i)Uirpose  of  looking  over  the 
new  crop. 

The  Cortez  factory  is  enjoying  its  usual  good  business  and 
orders  are  coming  in  satisfactory  ainounts. 

Sr.  Luis  Martinez,  of  the  Martinez-Havana  Ccunpany. 
arrived  in  Key  West  to-day  and  is  looking  after  the  interests 
of  the  factory.  He  was  accompanied  Ijy  his  daughter.  Miss 
Estrella.  Sr.  Martinez  brought  some  very  fine  samples  of  the 
new  crop  from  his  plantation  in  Vuelta  Abajo. 

A  party  of  Tampa  manufacturers  stopped  <»ver  a  few 
hours  while  on  their  way  to  Havana  last  week.  They  called  on 
JVesident  Wardlow,  of  the  Ruy  Lopez  Ca.,  during  their  stay. 
The  members  of  the  party  were  Mr.  F'isher,  of  (ionzales. 
Fisher  &  Co.;  Mr.  Sanchez  and  M.  l>errim'ui.  of  I'.erriman 
P>ros.  The  work  on  the  new  Lopez  factory  is  progressing  very 
satisfactorily. 

The  S.  &  F.  Fleitas  Company  expects  to  move  into  the 
new  factory  in  about  three  weeks.  The  work  on  this  structure 
is  being  rushed  and  it  will  be  completed  in  about  that  time. 
After  the  firm  moves,  Mr.  Francisco  Fleitas  expects  to  make  a 
trip  to  New  York  and  FLavana.  Orders  for  the  "Homeric" 
brands  of  this  company  are  far  in  excess  of  last  year. 

The  E.  H.  Gato  Cigar  Company  made  a  fairly  large  shij*- 
ment  last  week.  There  were  235.000  cigars  in  the  lot  and  they 
all  went  to  S.  Bachman  &  Co.,  San  l^^rancisco.  A  shijiment  of 
this  size  is  made  to  this  firm  about  four  times  a  month.  James 
R.  Curry,  of  the  Gato  Company,  was  re-elected  County  Com- 
missioner at  the  last  primary. 


Manager  A.  W.  ArnoKl,  of  the  Ferdinand  Hirsch  Com-

Increase  in  Imported  Cigars  and  Tobacco. 
Exports  of  This  Country  Show  a  Slight  Falling-otf. 

Washington,  D.  C.  May  31st. 
V.W  t<»l)acco.  cigars  and  cigarettes  have  taken  a  p.>sition 
among  the  leading  articles  of  export  and  import  that 
characterize  the  foreign  trade  of  the  Ciiited  States, 
according  l(»  the  monthly  statement  of  the  I'.ureau  of 
.statistics  of  the  l)ei)artment  of  Commerce  and  Lab«»r  just 
issued. 

The  statement  covers  the  exj)orts  and  imj)orts  in  March, 
as  well  as  for  the  nine  months  en<ling  with  .March  of  this  year, 
and  compares  the  figures  with  the  corresi>onding  periixls  of 
last  year. 

lm|)orts  of  leaf  tobacco  in  March.  i<)io.  totaled  two  and 
five-tenths  million  dollars  in  value,  as  compared  with  two  and 
one-tenth  millions  in  n/^;.  h'or  the  nine  months  ending  with 
March,  in  njio.  the  total  value  of  the  imi)orts  of  leaf  tobacco 
was  twenty-two  and  nine-tenths  millions,  while  for  the  same 
period  in  i<^^;  the  total  was  twenty-one  ami  six-tenths  mil- 
lions. 

Cigars  and  cigarettes  to  the  value  of  four-tcntlis  of  a  mil- 
lion dollars  were  imi)orted  during  March,  1910,  while  the  ag- 
gregate for  the  same  month  in  i«>(x;  was  three-tenths  of  a  mil- 
li.». 

While  the  incoming  ships  were  laden  with  these  commodi- 
ties, those  departing  from  the  Cnited  States  carried  exports  of 
leaf  tobacco  in  .March  of  this  year  to  the  extent  of  twt»  ami 
three-tenths  milli(»ns.  a•^  compared  with  two  and  fiuir-tenths 
millions  in  March.  i<;o<j.  a  slight  decrease,  h'or  the  nine-niMHth 
peri«)d  in  i<>i()  the  exports  of  leaf  tobacco  totaled  thirtv  and 
eight-tenths  millions,  and  for  the  same  time  in  K/^x)  twentv- 
four  and  six-tenths  milli<nis. 

In  another  bulletin  the  lUireau  <»f  .Statistics  re|)orts  that 
('ana<la  i^  raj)idly  becoming  the  chief  user  (A  .American  pro- 
duct«>.  and  the  exports  to  that  country  during  the  ten  months 
of  the  fiscal  year  einling  with  April  show  a  larger  growth  than 
those  to  any  other  itf  the  important  countries  of  the  world. 

Among  these  exfxtrts  unmanufactured  tobacco  holds  a 
commanding  position,  the  total  for  the  ten  months  ending  with 
April  30th.  of  this  year,  being  ii.4(>5.S42  i)ounds.  This  is  a 
slight  increase  over  the  amount  for  the  same  period  in  Mycn), 
the  total  for  the  latter  having  been  1 1.348.020  poimds. 

Greenly  Relieves  Replevin. 

The  writ  of  replevin  against  J.  H.  ( ireeidy.  proprietor  of

man.  manager  of  the  Universal  Tobacco  Company,  of  Lancas- 
ter, and  referred  to  in  our  last  issue,  has  been  released. 

The  action  against  Mr.  Greenly  was  prompted  by  the  fact 
that  he  had  refused  to  let  some  tobacco  be  removed  until  an  old 
account  had  been  settled,  but  that  all  ditTerences  have  since 
been  adjusted  and  the  goods  released.

Tk(B  Conlbiiisi 


From  Our

36  Zulueta 

Havana,  Cuba. 


Havana,  May  2t^. 

f  j^  ll/llIOUCj]  I  showers  were  universal  in  Cuba  for  three 
[y^  I  <lavs,  penuittinj^^  many  fanners  to  take  down  a  fair 
IMM^I  portion  of  their  dried  tobacco  from  the  i)oles,  dry  and 
windy  wcatlier  quickly  folh^wed  and  st(»pi)e(l  the 
\  e^'ueros  from  continuing  their  work.  Here  in  llavana  no 
rains  have  falkn,  but  the  Weather  liureau  is  reporting  daily 
rains  in  some  portions  of  the  tol)acco  growing  districts,  so  the 
rainy  season  in  the  interior  of  the  island  seems  to  be  i)rogress- 
ing  upon  its  natural  round,  an<l  there  ought  to  be  no  further 
delay,  excei)ting  the  time  which  is  re(|uired  to  give  the  green 
tobacco  its  re<|uire<l  fermentation  in  the  piles. 

Tartido  leaf  is  the  most  advanced  of  all  styles  anrl  some 
packings  are  under  way  already  on  "temprano"  kinds,  while  the 
bulk  will  be  in  full  working  order  by  about  the  middle  of  June. 
\  uelta  Abajo  may  be  ready  for  the  Escojidas  next  month,  but 
kemedios,  which  requires  the  longest  j)eriod  in  sweating  in 
piles,  very  likely  cannot  be  started  before  July. 

It  is  still  imi>ossible  to  say  anything  authoritatively  about 
the  merits  of  the  1910  crop  in  general,  but  while  the  judgment 
may  be  suspended  until  after  the  fennentation  process  in  the 
bales,  it  is  but  rea.sonable  to  say  that  we  shall  have  some  good 
t«tl)acco  this  year. 

The  leaf  market  has  ruled  rather  cjuiet  during  the  past 
f(»rtnight,  as  the  number  of  buyers  from  the  I'nited  States  has 
been  very  small,  and  some  of  the  Tampa  and  Key  West  manu- 
facturers came  here  more  for  the  purpose  of  posting  themselves 
alKHit  the  coming  crop  than  for  buying.  Some  people  claim 
that  stocks  held  by  mamifacturers  and  dealers  in  the  United 
States  arc  i)lentiful,  and  for  this  reason  the  former  are  not 
anxious  about  the  future,  showing  a  waiting  disposition  before 
investing  more  in  tobacco.  H  this  be  true,  then  it  ought  to 
reflect  upon  our  market  and  make  our  packers  and  leaf  dealers 
cautious  in  i)aying  the  exorbitant  demands  of  our  farmers.  So 
far,  this  has  been  the  case,  and  excej)ting  some  transactions  of 
Partido  tobacco,  nothing  of  any  amount  has  been  done  in 
X'uelta  Abajo  or  Remedios,  even  if  most  of  the  buyers  are  out 
in  the  country  taking  notes  and  looking  at  the  principal  \'egas 
which  they  would  like  to  acquire  later. 

Heretofore,  the  practice  has  been  for  one  or  two  leaders  to 
open  the  campaign,  fixing  the  prices  to  be  paid,  and  then  the 
rest  of  the  buyers  would  follow  suit  for  fear  that  they  would 
be  left  without  any  tobacco.  The  trouble  comes  in,  however, 
where  the  farmer  of  a  poor  crop  insists  upon  obtaining  the  same 
figures  as  his  neighbor  has  received  for  a  good  Vega,  and  at 
this  stage  of  the  game  the  expert  buyer  has  to  use  his  judg- 
ment in  not  conceding  too  high  a  price  for  inferior  tobacco. 
These  same  tactics,  however,  hold  good  in  the  United  States 
as  well  as  in  Cuba,  and  a  waiting  policy  has  to  be  adopted  to  tire 
out  the  Veguero,  before  the  latter  will  sell  his  crop. 


Sales  during  the  fortnight  total  3,229  bales,  or  divided  into

Among  the  Cigar  Factories. 
There  is  very  little  change  to  report  in  the  cigar  manufac- 
turing line,  as  conditions  have  not  materially  improved;  the 
larger  factories  are  kept  busy  and  the  smaller  ones  have  few 
orders.  There  will  be  no  betterment  until  the  new  crop  shall 
be  ready  for  working  purposes,  about  August  at  the  earliest. 
For  France,  the  French  liner  "La  Champagne"  carried  a  large 
shipment  of  219  cases  of  10,000  each,  amounting  to  2,190,000 
cigars.  The  next  boat,  on  June  15,  may  also  show  a  good-sized 
export  again,  but  after  that  date  it  will  be  October  or  Novem- 
ber before  the  heavy  orders  will  be  executed  again  by  the 
French  Regie.  The  raise  in  the  duties  may  not  curtail  the  ship- 
ments to  the  Regie  materially,  but  it  may  kill  oflf  the  private 
orders.  It  seems  the  craze  for  light  colors  will  not  go  down, 
like  l>anc|uo's  ghost,  as  the  importers  of  the  United  States  still 
call  for  light  colors,  when  they  ought  to  know  better,  that  such 
colors  at  this  time  of  the  year  are  almost  gone,  except  perhaps

in  the  hands  of  two  or  three  of  our  largest  factories.  Whether 
the  new  crop  may  have  a  sufficiency  of  light  colors  remains  yet 
to  be  seen. 

Falling  Off  in  Cigar  Exports. 

The  following  figures,  taken  from  official  Custom  House 
returns,  show  the  exports  of  cigars  from  the  port  of  Havana 
during  the  years  1909  and  19 10,  from  January  i  to  April  30, 
viz.: 

From  Jan.  i  to  April  30,  1909 61,578,249  cigars 

"     "  "       "      "      1910 53.299.219      " 

Decrease  in   1910 8,279,030  cigars 

and  which  shows  a  betterment  of  almost  half  a  million  cigars  in 
the  decrease  against  the  previous  fortnight. 

IL  l^pmann  &  Co.  report  a  satisfactory  trade  for  this  time 
of  the  year.  Charles  Landau,  their  energetic  United  States 
and  Canadian  representative,  is  supplying  steady  orders  from 
his  extensive  territory.  Business  with  other  countries  is  also 
fair,  as  the  old  established  brand  of  H.  Upmann  is  too  well 
known  all  over  the  globe  for  its  uniform  fine  quality  ever  to 
lack  orders. 

Sol  is  working  along  steadily  under  a  good  headway. 

La  Diligencia  continues  the  even  tenor  of  its  firmly  estab- 
lished business. 

Henry  Clay  &  Bock  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  state  that  conditions  are 
very  satisfactory,  as  orders  are  as  plentiful  as  they  could  expect 
at  the  end  of  the  season.  Mr.  Frank  Arango  returned  this 
week  from  a  short  trip  to  Tampa. 

La  Escepcion  factory  was  in  mourning,  owing  to  the  death 
of  the  widow  of  the  late  Jose  Gener,  but  as  the  only  daughter 
is  her  sole  heiress  and  will  continue  the  business  as  heretofore, 
the  only  change  which  might  occur  is  to  change  the  title  from 
"Viuda  de  Jose  Gener"  to  "Hija  de  Jose  Gener,"  in  accordance 
with  Spanish  laws  and  which  still  hold  good  for  Cuba. 

For  Larranaga  regretted  the  untimely  death  of  their  buyer, 
Joaquin  Quintanal,  last  week. 

Busy  factories  are :  Romeo  y  Julieta,  Partagas,  Castaneda, 
Flor  de  P.  A.  Estanillo,  Redencion  and  Carlos  E.  Beck  &  Co. 

El  Credito  is  holding  its  own  and  business  from  the  United 
States  is  showing  a  steady  increase  for  Rodriguez  y  Hnos.,  as 
their  cigars  compare  very  favorably  with  other  imported  Ha- 
vana cigars. 

Buying,  Selling  and  Other  Notes  of  Interest. 

Sobrinos  de  A.  Gonzalez  sold  325  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo 
and  Remedios.  They  have  not  started  their  escojidas  yet,  but 
expect  to  do  so  next  month. 

Fred  J.  Davis  purchased  nearly  800  bales  while  he  was 
here. 

Rodriguez  Bautista  &  Co.  were  sellers  of  449  bales  of 
Vuelta  Abajo  and  Remedios.  They  have  one  escojida  working 
at  Artemisa  already  on  Temprano  tobacco  and  which  promises 
to  yield  as  fine  tobacco  as  it  has  always  done. 

Marcelino  Perez  has  started  in  to  buy  already,  and  is  said 
to  have  closed  deals  for  300  bales  so  far. 

Bruno  Diaz  &  Co.  disposed  of  300  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo 
and  Partido. 

Jose  Lozano  purchased  250  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo  for  his 
Tampa  factory. 

Fernando  Fernandez  y  Hno  closed  out  200  bales  of  Vuelta 
Abajo. 

Avelino  Pazos  &  Co.  sold  250  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo  to 
their  customers.  Don  Avelino  returned  from  his  flying  trip  to 
New  York,  in  order  to  give  his  partner,  Don  Juan  Pino,  a 
chance  to  visit  his  native  country  (Spain)  this  summer. 

A.  M.  Calzada  &  Co.  sold  200  bales  of  Vuelta  Abajo  and 
Partido  to  local  manufacturers.  Other  sellers  were:  Muniz 
Hnos  &  Co.,  150  bales;  Cardenas  &  Co.,  140  bales;  Jose  F. 
Rocha,  250  bales.

Big  Chicago  Deal  on  The  San  Felice. 

Steele,  Wedeles  &    Co.  Arrange    to    Distribute    Popular    Five-Cent 

Cigars — Other  Trade  Notes. 

"Cmc.M.o,  May  31. 

^'Y^il  IIXGS  have  been  very  (]uiet  in  Chicago  during  the  last 
1.  I  two  weeks.  The  great  amusement  parks  have  had 
small  crowds,  but  the  general  outl(»(>k  for  June  is 
very  good. 

No  big  deals  have  been  consummated  with  perhaps  «>ne 
exception — that  of  Steele,  Wedeles  &  Co.  taking  over  the  San 
Felice,"  made  by  Deisel-W'emmer  Co..  Lima.  Ohio.  Their  con- 
tract calls  for  a  case  a  day,  and  this,  with  the  **Tom  Keene,"  is 
keeping  them  busy. 

J.  &  B.  Moos  are  billboarding  the  city  on  the  "Sydney 
Dillon"  five-cent  cigar. 

There  has  only  been  one  five-cent  cigar  that  has  made  what 
could  be  called  a  real  successs  in  the  last  two  years  in  Chicago, 
and  that  cigar  is  the  "Xew  I'achelor."  distributed  by  !•'.  Hoff- 
man Co.    They  are  away  behind  on  their  t)rders. 

Alexander  Herbert,  of  Philip  M(»rris  &  Co.,  passed  through 
Chicago  last  week.  His  famous  "Cambridge"  cigarette  has 
been  raised  to  $18.75  P^^  thousand  beginning  June  ist.  This 
is  a  raise  of  25  cents  per  thousand.  The  trade  discotmts  will 
remain  the  same. 

R.  C.  Koutzer,  of  Jacob  Stahl.  Jr.,  &  Co.,  spent  last  week 
in  Chicago;  he  has  made  a  very  nice  connection  with  Ryan  iS: 
Raphael  Cigar  Co.  on  his  brand  "bVesli  Rolls'.  Ryan  vK- 
Raphael  have  moved  into  their  new  cpiarters  in  the  integer 
Building.  Their  new  humidor,  with  a  capacity  of  a  million 
cigars,  is  one  of  the  finest  in  the  city.  Some  of  the  brands 
they  are  featuring  are  the  "Lucius",  made  by  Corral  W'odiska  & 
Co. ;  Flor  de  Mendel,  Partagas,  Romeo  y  Julieta,  etc..  etc. 

The  new  Chicago  &  Northwestern  R.  R.  Co.  de|x)t  termi- 
nal is  rapidly  nearing  completion.  This  will  open  up  a  district 
which  heretofore  has  been  limited  to  the  wholesale  business, 
and  ought  to  give  opportunity  for  a  live  cigar  business. 

The  new  Sherman  House  is  progressing  very  rapi<lly.  The 
steel  work  and  stone  work  has  been  comi)lete(l  and  it  presents 
already  a  ver\'  beautiful  appearance. 

The  new  Blackstone  Hotel  is  doing  a  ver\'  good  business 
and  has  attracted  considerable  commeiU  among  the  idtra 
fashionable.  Its  principal  cigar  featured  is  the  P.lackstone 
Hotel  Co. 

Collections  among  the  trade  are  reported  very  slow,  and 
several  banks  have  mentioned  the  fact  that  money  is  cnu'te 
scarce. 


Has  Manufactured  Famous  Brand  for  Thirty-six  Years. 

Roger  G.  Sullivan,  of  Manchester,  N.  H.,  has  completed 
thirty-six  years  of  manufacturing  the  7-20-4  cigar,  and  his 
figures  for  the  last  year  reach  the  total  of  24,ocx).ooo.  This  is 
the  first  time  he  has  gone  over  the  20,000.000  mark. 


J.  A.  Dart,  tobacco  manufacturer  of  Richmond,  Va.,  has 
purchased  the  A.  H.  Schwartz  factory  building  in  that  city, 
and  will  use  the  same  for  the  manufacture  of  tobacco.

out April  and  so  far  in  May.  making  the  growing  of  plants  a 
precarious  business.  While  the  damage  from  the  fre(|uent 
frosts  has  not  been  much  of  a  disaster  to  properly  protected 


beds,  the  growth  of  young  plants  has  been  slow  and  unsatis-

the  middle  of  June.  Badger. 


Cincinnati  Trade  is  Reported  Good. 

Regal    Cigar   Company  Accused    of    Fraud    in    Using    the    Mails — 

Changes  Among  Salesmen. 

Cincinnati,  O.,  May  28th. 
J  w  lOCAL  trade  is  watching  with  interest  the  efforts  of 
I  <^  I  the  National  Confectioners'  Association  to  stop  the 
UmiJ  sale  of  candy  prizes  in  the  smaller  cigar  stores,  on 
the  plea  that  it  "fosters  the  gambling  habit".  Cin- 
cinnati candy  men  attended  a  State  meeting  of  manufacturers 
in  that  trade  Thursday  to  formulate  some  mode  of  procedure 
in  the  matter.  It  is  .said  that  the  "nigger  in  the  woodpile"  is 
the  fact  that  several  cigar  manufacturers  are  manufacturing 
as  a  side  line  cheap  candies  for  that  cla.ss  of  trade,  and  are 
cutting  in  on  the  confectioners'  business. 

Wholesalers  here  report  that  business  is  good,  with  every 
indication  of  a  continuance.  'J'he  retail  trade  has  been  (juiet 
for  several  weeks.  The  annual  convention  of  the  National 
Wholesale  Li(juor  Dealers*  Association,  which  was  in  session 
here  last  week,  helped  the  retail  trade  of  the  high  class  stores. 
The  several  hundred  delegates  were  all  liberal  spenders. 

ICarl  llemingseii,  doing  business  as  the  Regal  Cigar  Co., 
is  having  a  serious  controver.sy  with  Uncle  Sam.  The  local 
post  office  received  word  Friday  to  stop  all  mail  addressed  to 
that  concern,  on  a  fraud  order  issued  by  the  Postmaster  Gen- 
eral. It  is  alleged  that  the  concern  is  advertising  to  sell  1000 
cigars  for  $31.50  and  throw  in  a  typewriter  for  good  measure. 
The  Postmaster  General  alleges  that  the  typewriter  is  an  old 
one  with  a  new  coat  of  paint,  and  of  such  doubtful  value  as  to 
open  the  concern  to  the  charge  of  fraud. 

The  town  was  all  lit  uj)  last  week  with  "Turkey  Red",  the 
new  brand  of  cigarettes  being  introduced  by  S.  Anargyros. 

Walter  S.  Forno,  formerly  with  Oscar  Gassman  &  Co., 
is  now  with  Charles  Krohn,  Walnut  street. 

(K'orge  Houser,  representing  the  American  Tobacco  Co., 
was  in  town  last  week  pushing  "Scrap  Iron". 

A.  P.  Hooker,  inventor-salesman,  interested  some  of  the 
trade  in  a  new  sanitary  pii)e,  his  own  invention,  known  as  the 
"Hooker  Pipe".  It  is  manufactured  by  Newman  Ellis,  Buf- 
falo, to  retail  at  50  cents. 

O.scar  (iassman  &  Co.  are  again  showing  new  ideas  in 
show-window  decoration.  The  special  Decoration  Day  trim- 
ming was  succeeded  Tuesday  by  a  special  "Racing  Window*'. 
.Mr.  (Jassman  emj)loys  the  show-window  trimmer  of  a  large 
department  .store  in  the  city  by  the  year.  He  declares  it  pav-', 
too. 

Henry  Straus'  retail  st<jre  at  I'ifth  and  Walnut  is  making 
a  special  display  of  IU*)n  pipes  of  calabash.  \.  Dolby,  repre- 
senting Adolph  iM-ankau  Co.,  of  London,  England,  put  in  the 
line. 

P.  S.  b'rieder.  of  S.  Frieder  i^l-  Son,  5  ICast  Fifth  street,  iji 
in  .St.  Louis  on  business. 

It  was  aiuiounced  here  Friday  that  George  L.  Storm  has 
withdrawn  from  the  State  of  Ohio.  Henry  Straus  has  taken 
on  the  line  for  Ohio  and  Kentucky.  Straus  closes  the  Owl 
Special  June  ist.  and  at  the  same  time  announces  a  new  one 
on  Robert  Burns,  Little  Bobbies  and  Capaduras. 

Charles  Straus  was  in  Columbus  last  week  assisting  H.  R. 
Hamer,  Straus'  new  man  in  that  territory. 

.\mong  the  salesmen  in  town  were  "Doc"  Eaton,  Falk  To-

Exploiting  Florida  and  Georgia  Tobacco 

HLN  the  Florida  Tobacco  Commission  Company  was 
organized  al^out  one  year  ago  to  develop  the  growth 
and  .sale  of  tobacco  grown  on  Florida  and  Georgia 
soil,  the  men  back  of  it  foresaw  big  opportunities.     It 


was  known  that  the  high  quality  of  tobacco  grown  in  that  region 
commended  it  to  the  most  discriminating  manufacturers,  and 
that  much  of  b^orida-grown  tobacco  was  being  used  by  some 
manufacturers,  who  were  wont  to  pass  oft'  this  product  as 
imported.  It  was  realized  that  once  the  tobacco  grown  in  that 
territory  was  bought  and  used  solely  on  its  merits,  that  the 
consuming  public  would  recognize  its  superiority  and  a  more 
general  usage  result. 

To  properly  exploit  b'lorida  and  Georgia  tobacco  before 
the  cigar  manufacturers,  then,  was  one  of  the  rtrst  problems 
which  the  newly  organized  company  took  up.  In  the  short  time 
that  it  has  been  in  the  tiebl.  this  company  has  extended  the 
scope  of  its  operations  until  to-da\-  it  is  operating  tive  large 
warehouses  in  ( Jadsden  county,  b'lorida.  and  Decatur  county, 
Ga.,  in  which  they  have  stored  550,0(X)  jxmnds  of  tobacco  of 
the  Mjcxj  crop.  This  tobacco  is  now  being  sorted  and  packed, 
and  it  is  predicted  that  the  entire  packing  will  be  completed 
early  this  month. 

One  of  the  prime  movers  in  the  Florida  company  is  Wil- 
liam M.  Corr>',  the  president.  Mr.  Corry  is  no  stranger  to  the 
tobacco  business,  having  l)een  associated  with  Straiton  &  Storm 
and  their  successors,  the  Owl  Commercial  Co.,  for  more  than 
thirty  years.  In  1887  Mr.  Corry  went  to  Ouincy,  Fla.,  where 
he  established  the  extensive  plantation  interests  of  Straiton  & 
Storm,  including  nearly  15,000  acres  of  land.  Mr.  Corry  acted 
as  general  manager  of  this  business  up  to  last  May,  when  he 
resigned  to  embark  for  himself.  Mr.  Corry  is  thoroughly 
familiar  with  all  the  branches  of  the  business,  from  the  seed 


T 


beds  tu  the  hnal  packing  of  the  tobaco*  in  warehouses.  iMir 
tifteen  years  he  was  engaged  in  the  cigar  manufacturing  busi- 
ness. 

The  company  which  he  organized  is  an  independent  con- 
cern and  is  not  in  any  way  affiliated  with  the  merger  of  the 
large  Florida  tobacco  interests  which  has  recently  been  con- 
summated. The  tobaccos  packed  by  this  companv  are  now 
being  ofTered  to  the  trade  and  some  of  the  largest  jobbers  in 
the  country  are  already  enrolled  as  customers. 

Change  in  Size  of  Revenue  Stamps. 
New  Series  Being  Prepared  for  Use  After  July    I. 

Wasiii.\(;to.\,  D.  G..  .May  31st. 
Ill-:  new  series  of  revenue  stamps  which  will  be  readv 
for  use  when  the  new  law  goes  into  effect.  |uly  ist. 
will  be  somewhat  smaller  than  those  now  in  use,  and 
come  in  a  greater  variety  of  «lenomitiations.  Commis- 
sioner  Cabell  has  notitied  the  revenue  authorities  to  exhaust  all 
the  old  stamps  on  haiul  before  sending  in  re<|uests  fornewones. 
The  new  stamp  will  come  in  sheets  of  twelves  instead  of  tens 
up  to  the  hundreds,  and  the  hundreds  will  contain  six  instead 
of  tive.  Stamps  f«)r  cigars  weighing  m<»re  that  ,^  potmds  to  the

have  n(;t  yet  been  issued,  and  will  be  somewhat  more  involved

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


Lancaster  Shows  Improvement. 

Packing  Season  Closing— Farmers  Busy  on  Large  Acreage — Conclave 
Beneliled   Retailers     Cigar  Trade  Reviving. 

Lancastkr,  J 'a..  May  28tli. 
^1 II-.  tobacco  packinj^  seascjii  is  now  rai)i(lly  <lravving  to  a 
cloNC,  f«>r  ii(»l  only  has  about  all  the  tol^acco  been 
l)onj4lit  and  received  from  the  farmer,  but  in  the  ina- 
jorit\  oi  cases  it  ha>  al)out  all  been  packed  into  cases, 
riiere  are  a  few  exceptions,  of  ccjurse,  and  there  arc  also  a 
tew  I  I•op«^  nniaininj;  in  farmers'  hand^,  but  they  are  so  scat- 
lere<l  alx.iit  the  country  that  buyers  are  no  longer  driving,  and 
vampio  will  no  d(.ubt  have  t«j  be  brought  int<j  town,  if  farmers 
wi^h  to  m<)Vi-  their  crops  yet. 

After  a  pntty  carefully  made  survey  about  the  ccjunty.  I 
do  not  hoitate  to  state  that  if  conditions  continue  favorable 
there  will  j)robably  be  a  large  increase  in  acreage  this  year.  In 
fact,  transplanting  is  now  in  progress,  and  the  work  will  be 
vigorously  ptished  forward, 

riant  beds  ginerally  are  l( Making  g(»o<l,  and  present  indi- 
catious  are  favorable  t<j  a  goo<l  crop.  There  is  some  fear  of 
an  inuisual  amount  of  attack  l)y  cut  worms,  but  with  a  little 
preliminary  w<Mk  that  danger  can  be  at  least  minimized,  if  not 
almost  entirely  eliminated. 

it  \\As  been  a  gala  week  in  Lancaster,  and  for  several  days 
the  town  was  well  tilled  with  visitors,  h'irst  the  throngs  came 
li(  re  on  Tuesday  last  to  witness  the  parade  of  the  Knights 
Templar,  and  on  Thursday  many  (jf  them  returned  to  see  the 
circus  parade  and  performance,  and  as  a  result  of  these  jubilees 
the  ntaiKrs  had  an  unusually  brisk  trade. 

'Traveling  salesmen  had.  however,  been  warned  that  hotel 
accommodations  would  be  ta.xed  heavily,  and  they  seemed  to 
avoid  this  city  j>retty  well  during  the  early  i)art  of  the  week, 
and  among  those  who  came  in  later  were  I.  .\.  Jacoby,  with 
.Meyer  \-  .\lendels<»hn.  New  York,  and  .Sam  Kaufman,  with 
Win.  ."^teiner.  .Sons  &  Co. 

L.  .\.  W  heeler,  of  Allen  &  Wheeler,  Troy,  O.,  after  s])end- 
ing  several  days  here,  has  just  returned  to  his  home. 

I).  J.  .Simson,  of  the  newly  organized  cigar  manufacturing 
firm  of  Dana-Cates,  Simson  Co.,  at  Ironton,  O..  was  visiting 
friends  in  this  city  this  week.  Mr.  Simson  informs  us  that 
operations  will  be  commenced  on  Monday  next  with  a  force  of 
ai)out  y^  hands,  and  that  the  tirm  has  gcMxl  i)rospects  ahead 
for  a  tine  volume  of  business. 

[.  Bowman  ik  P.ro.,  of  this  city,  have  ju.st  completed  their 
packing  of  Pennsylvania  tobacco,  and  l)egan  on  1909  Zimmer 
.Si)anish,  which  was  purchased  some  weeks  ago  by  the  head  of 
the  linn,  who  was  then  driving  in  Ohio,  and  they  are  well 
pleased  with  the  selections. 

Present  indications  look  like  a  walk-over  for  A.  B.  Mess, 
a  well-known  local  packer  of  leaf  tobacco,  who  is  a  candidate 
for  the  State  Legislature.  Mr.  Hess  not  only  has  the  endorse- 
ment of  the  republican  organization,  but  of  a  large  number  of 
inllueiicial  business  men  as  well. 

( i.  Miiiry  .Sachs,  well-known  manufacturer  and  retailer  at 
]^(\  Last  King  street,  has  secured  the  services  of  Roy  llacken- 
berger.  who  is  a  well-known  young  man  about  town,  as  a  cit> 
salesman  and  clerk  in  the  store. 

Simon  .Shissler,  local  distributor  of  Regensburg's  "Amer- 
ican" cigars,  made  a  special  feature  of  that  line  of  goods  in  a 
wind«)W  dis})lav  this  week,  and  which  no  doubt  will  ])rove  of 
value  to  the  goods  ill  this  city. 

L.  L.  Straus,  at  1^)7  Queen  street,  whose  establishment 
was  closed  by  financial  difficulties,  has  not  yet  succeeded  in 
elTecting  an  adjustment  of  his  aflfairs. 

The  cigar  industry  now  shows  some  signs  of  improvement, 
and  several  local  manufacturers  are  advertising  for  more  cigar- 
makers.  This  is.  indeed,  an  encouraging  sign,  and  it  is  to  be 
hoped  that  it  will  be  of  some  permanency. 


Changes  in  the  Reading  Factories. 
Removals  and  Enlargements  Necessitated  by  Growing  Business. 

Reading,  Pa.,  May  28th. 

HIIL   cigar   industry   here   has   shown   considerable   im- 
provenient  during  the  |)ast  two  weeks,  and  by  some 
factories   atlditional   cigannakers  are   needed.      Good 
hands  would  have  no  difficulty  in  obtaining  employ- 
ment in   Reading  at  satisfactory   wages  and   steady  work. 

Orders  have  lately  come  in  at  an  increasing  rate  to  Yocum 
Bros.,  for  their  "V-B"  and  "Spana  Cuba"  brands.  A  full 
force  of  cigannakers  is  at  work. 

11.  (i.  Burky  was  recently  among  the  more  fortunate 
manufacturers  in  booking  good  sized  orders,  having  scheduled 
one  for  250,000  cigars  from  one  large  Western  distributing 
house.  Mr.  Burky's  goods  have  also  attracted  attention  on  the 
Coast  and  recently  some  attractive  business  has  come  in  from 
.San  Francisco.  The  present  factory  facilities  are  taxed.  Lo- 
cally this  line  of  union  made  cigars  is  also  growing  in  public 
favor,  and  a  large  numl^er  of  stores  now  carry  them  in  stock. 

Lline  &  Kutz  have  again  outgrown  their  (|uarters  on 
North  TLleventh  street,  and  will  shortly  remove  to  133-135 
.\orth  Third  street,  where  they  have  purchased  a  building 
which  is  now  being  renovated.  This  firm  was  established  about 
five  years  ago,  and  since  that  time  they  have  made  three  moves, 
each  time  into  larger  (piarters,  but  they  believe  they  now  have 
a  building  which  will  meet  all  re(|uirements  for  many  years 
to  come. 

Charles  Ream,  since  his  removal  from  411  Washington 
street,  which  premises  he  sold  recently,  has  located  at  329 
Washington  street. 

Joseph  1.  Levy,  of  the  Ashland  Cigar  and  Tobacco  Co.? 
recently  visited  the  trade  in  Reading,  and  placed  several  nice 
sized  orders  for  goods  for  later  shipment. 

The  retail  store  of  Charles  W'.  Potteiger,  at  Sixth  and 
Washington  streets,  is  undergoing  extensive  interi(jr  renova- 
tions, which  will  greatly  add  to  its  present  attractiveness. 

George  W.  Lehr,  at  912  Penn  street,  is  planning  an  ex- 
tensive campaign  of  exploitation  on  his  "Potentate"  cigar. 
This  cigar  is  not  a  new  product,  but  already  has  many  follow- 
ers in  various  parts  of  the  country,  and  Mr.  Lehr  feels  that 
the  cigar  deserves  more  ])ublicity  than  he  has  heretofore 
given  it. 

\V.  W'.  Stewart  &  Son  are  now  putting  the  tinishing 
touches  on  their  new  factory,  at  Greene  and  Cedar  streets,  by 
giving  it  a  coat  of  paint  on  the  exterior  in  vermilion  red.  It 
is  a  strong  contrast  with  the  buildings  around  it,  and  is  very 
noticeable  from  a  considerable  distance. 

W.  W.  Reigel,  leaf  dealer,  at  Third  and  Greenwich,  is 
devoting  much  of  his  time  to  the  erection  of  a  new  building 
immediately  adjoining  his  warehouse,  and  which  when  com- 
pleted is  to  be  used  for  an  automobile  garage. 

Theodore  Bixby,  with  the  American  .Sumatra  Tobacco 
Co.,  was  a  recent  visitor  in  Reading. 

Mr.  King,  representing  IL  A.  Tyler  &  Co.,  manufacturers 
of  cigar  box  lumber,  at  Cincinnati,  O.,  has  recently  called  on 
the  box  manufacturers  in  this  vicinity. 

Clarence  Levy,  of  the  International  Seal  and  Knot  Pro- 
tector Co.,  Philadelphia,  who  was  a  late  visitor  here,  has  placed 
a  new  seal  for  use  in  shipping  cigar  cases  among  cigar  manu- 
facturers. Berks. 


William  T.  Taylor,  U.  S.  representative  of  Rodriguez, 
Arguelles  &  Cia,  left  on  May  13th  for  a  two  weeks'  trip  to 
Chicago  and  the  Middle  West  in  the  interest  of  the  Romeo  y 
Julieta. 


At  the  new  cigar  store  of  Edward  Mayer,  34  John  street. 
New  York,  the  leading  brands  shown  include  the  "Webster," 
"William  IV"  and  "Belinda"  cigars.

York  Factories  Rushed  With  Orders. 
Manufacturers  Handicapped  By  Scarcity  of  Skilled  Workmen. 

York,  P.\.,  May  2S. 

I^IGAR  MANUFACTURERS  here  seem  to  think  they 
V^  I     have  all  the  troubles  in  the  world.     And  judging  from 

their  constant   complaint,   they   have   many   troubles. 

Only  a  short  time  ago  they  complauied  bitterly  of  a 


m 


lack  of  orders,  and  now  the  cry  among  not  a  few  is  that  they 
cannot  get  cigannakers  enough  to  get  goods  out  fast  enough  lo 
fill  orders  promptly.  And  so  it  goes  on  from  one  thing  to 
another. 

One  of  the  oldest  and  largest  manufacturers  in  this  city 
explained  to  the  writer  the  other  day  that  the  city  was  becoming 
overrun  with  industrial  establishments,  employing  both  male 
and  female  help,  and  that  higher  wages  were  being  paid  in 
other  lines  than  cigarmaking  would  atford.  During  the  pro- 
tracted dull  spell  in  the  cigar  trade  many  workmen  found 
employment  in  other  lines  and  are  now  reluctant  to  return  to 
the  cigarmaker's  bench. 

Besides  this,  very  few  apprentices  have  been  taken  on 
during  the  past  few  years,  and  yet  some  new  factories  have 
located  in  York  drawing  from  former  factories. 

The  makers  of  higher  grades  of  goods  are  feeling  it  most, 
because  they  cannot  so  readily  secure  an  additional  supply  of 
goods  from  factories  around  in  the  county. 

A  general  improvement,  however,  is  noticeable  in  the  cigar 
trade,  and,  in  fact,  a  few  factories  have  done  some  night  work 
in  the  hope  of  getting  some  stixrk  ahead. 

Celestino  Costello  ^  Co.  are  at  present  among  the  verv 
busy  ones,  and  have  been  advertising  extensively  ior  adilitional 
cigarmakers,  at  a  good  rate  of  wages.  They  have  need  for  an 
increased  production  of  their  "Barrister,"  a  ten-cent  cigar,  and 
"The  Roundup,"  a  nickel  product. 

Seth  Warner,  of  Herman  Warner  ik  Co.,  returned  recently 
from  a  business  trip  through  the  Middle  West,  where  he  met 
with  good  success  in  the  introduction  of  their  "Pulliam"  brand, 
and  their  force  of  cigarmakers  is  being  increased  as  rapidly  as 
possible. 

John  F.  Reichard,  leaf  dealer,  made  a  flying  visit  to  Pitts- 
bugh  this  week.  He  closed  an  important  sale  of  leaf  and  re- 
turned to  York,  all  within  thirty-six  hours. 

H.  G.  Blasser,  of  H.  G.  Blasser  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  leaf  dealers, 
returned  this  week  from  a  several  weeks'  trip  through  Western 
Pennsylvania  and  Ohio. 

Jos.  Wedeles,  of  Wedeles  Bros.,  Chicago,  accompanied  by 
Mr.  Miller,  their  traveling  representative,  called  on  the  trade 
here  this  week. 

J.  K.  PfaltzgrafT  &  Co.  have  secured  the  services  of  E.  C. 
Williams  as  traveling  representative,  and  who  is  taking  up  the 
territory  heretofore  covered  by  the  late  Robert  Mortland,  of 
Pittsburgh.  During  his  initial  trip  over  a  part  of  the  territory 
he  succeeded  in  opening  several  desirable  new  accounts  on  their 
"College  Widow"  cigar,  which  is  a  nickel  leader  with  this  firm. 
W'hen  C.  S.  Gable  returned  to  his  office  at  factory  head- 
(juarters  here  this  week,  he  found  that  orders  had  come  in  from 
all  sides  by  mail,  and,  adding  to  it  the  list  brought  in  by  him. 
his  factories  will  be  kept  busy  for  .some  time  to  come. 

The  "Robert  Burns"  cigar  arc  being  featured  in  a  special 
window  display  at  Kline  Bros.'  cigar  emporium,  on  East  Mar- 
ket street. 

"Sabarosa"  cigars  are  now  being  introduced  in  this  sec- 
tion through  the  efforts  of  H.  E.  Hain,  local  distributor.  Mr. 
Hain  also  handles  quite  extensively  the  "Thos.  Shadwell"  five- 
cent  cigars  from  the  factory  of  H.  F.  Martin  here. 

Charles  Stallman  &  Son  are  this  week  devoting  their  bulk

cigars  of  the  Forty-four  Cigar  Co.  of  Philadelphia. 

Theo.  Bixby,  representing  the  American  Sumatra  Tobacco

B.M.n.NHtRi:.  .\la\  jSth. 

HRADE  in  this  city  shows  a  gain  in  the  volume  ai  busi- 
ness lately,  anil  most  manufacturers  are  operating 
with  full  forces. 

Leaf  men  also  enjoyed  a  more  extensive  trade 
during  the  past  two  weeks,  with  collections  nuich  improve»l. 
showing  conclusively  that  fact(»rie^  are  feeling  a  return  of  bet- 
ter times. 

On  Monthly  last  the  well-known  leaf  firm  i»f  W.  Kemi)er 
&  Sons  had  one  of  the  heaviest  day's  business  that  they  had 
experienced  in  some  time.  Every  letter  received  contained  an 
order  for  some  goods.  The  .salesmen  started  out  oi\  .Momlay 
and  almost  immediately  some  business  was  reported  bv  them. 

Mr.  Brockman,  with  (i.  Liebman  tS:  Dellevie.  leaf  packers 
and  dealers,  returned  to  (»ftice  head(|uarters  on  Mondav  last, 
after  a  short,  but  very  satisfactory  business  trip  through  Penn- 
.sylvania. 

Some  notable  changes  have  taken  place  to  the  cigar  store 
at  German  and  Calvert  streets,  since  Lewis  C'.  .^chetfey  cV  Co. 
succeeded  the  Brink  von  Hartz  Co.,  some  weeks  ago.  The 
store,  with  its  solid  cherry  fixtures,  is  one  of  the  most  attract- 
ive in  the  central  part  of  the  «;ity.  and  has  been  thoroughly  re- 
stocked with  a  complete  line  of  high-grade  good>  and  smokers' 
articles. 

In  addition  to  several  leading  brands  of  imported  Ha- 
vana cigars,  a  prominent  |)lace  is  given  to  products  of  E.  Re- 
gensburg  &  .Sons.  *"American"  ;  C(»rtez  Cigar  Go's.  "Cortez", 
Duncan  &  Moorehead's  "Marcello",  and  the  Sanchez  &  Haya 
line. 

•Mthough  Colonel  Schefley  is  giving  careful  attention  to 
the  .store,  he  finds  time  to  lfx>k  after  his  .several  commission 
accounts,  prominent  among  which  are  the  line  of  nickel  and 
teji  cent  gcnxls  made  by  F.  H.  P.eltz.  of  .*>chwenksville.  Pa., 
and  the  stogie  line  of  John  Slater  i\:  Co..  L.ancaster,  Pa.  .\ 
full  line  of  the  goods  of  each  of  these  manufacturers  is  car- 
ried in  st(>ck,  and  l<K*al  dealers  are  supplied  direct  by  Mr. 
.Scheflfey. 

Colonel  .Scheffey  gained  distinction  many  years  ag«)  as 
one  of  the  men  who  introduced  the  "( )ld  Virginia  Cheroots" 
in  the  market,  and  he  has  been  engaged  in  the  business  ever 
since. 

Lilly.  Duncan  &  Co.,  continue  to  cater  efi'ectively  to  the 
higher  class  trade  on  their  lines  of  fine  Havana  cigars,  an<l  are 
easily  amrtug  the  largest  handlers  of  g(MHls  of  this  class  in 
Baltimore.

THE  TOBACCO  WORLD 


gapi 


Business  Quiet  on  Pacific  Coast. 
Retail  Trade  Well  Maintained  in  Cities — The  Manila  Situation. 

S.w  I  "ran CISCO.  May  20. 

Tl  1 1''  local  situation  shows  no  niarkccl  ciiangf.  most  of 
tin-  unsatisfactory  features  hcinj;  as  pronounced  as 
ever,  tliou^'li  tiiere  is  less  conii)laint  than  for  the  last 
tew  months.  'I'lu-  volume  of  retail  trade  is  well  main- 
taiiRMJ.  an<l  some  dialers  rejjort  a  little  imi>rovement  in  the 
last  few  weeks.  It  is  l>elieve<l  that  the  prospect  of  tile  heavy- 
weij,'ht  championship  prize-li^dit  bein^^  held  in  San  Francisco  is 
resi)onsihle  for  a  part  of  the  imjjrovement,  and  (|uite  lively 
times  are  exi)ected  for  a  few  weeks  before  the  tight  comes  off. 
i'Vom  that  time  until  fall  the  city  trade  is  apt  to  be  (|uiet,  but 
the  fall  season  is  exi)ected  to  be  considerably  better  than  last 
year.  Country  orders  are  becoming  a  little  smaller,  as  summer 
weather  is  already  commencing,  but  while  outside  dealers  are 
disposed  to  carry  lighter  stocks,  they  are  moving  about  as  many 
cig.'irs  as  ever,  and  look  for  a  satisfactory  season. 

The  largest  shipment  of  Manila  goinls  to  arrive  for  some 
time  came  in  al>out  the  first  of  the  week  on  the  steamer  "Mon- 
golia," mostly  Consigned  to  local  brokers  and  jobbers,  and  is 
now  being  delivered.  Xo  great  interest  is  now  taken  in  the 
Manila  goods  here,  though  the  goods  have  become  pretty  well 
established.  The  si)ecial  advertising  they  first  received  has  for 
the  most  part  been  abandone<l.  There  is  still  a  good  in(|uiry 
from  the  interior  of  the  Coast  States,  and  large  lots  are  moving 
JCa.st.  The  selling  of  the  same  brands  to  all  jobbers  indiscrim- 
inately has  led  to  considerable  i)rice-cutting,  and  some  gfwxls 
have  been  ofTered  at  retail  at  such  low  prices  as  to  take  the 
profit  out  of  the  business.  A  good  many  local  interests  have 
accordingly  (juit  jnishing  the  goo<ls.  and  are  simply  getting  in 
stock  to  fill  such  orders  as  come  in. 

1 1.  L.  Judell,  of  11.  L.  judell  cK:  Co..  is  a  leader  in  the  Com- 
mercial Travelers'  organization  on  the  Coast,  and  is  spending  a 
few  (lays  in  San  Diego,  Cal.,  to  attend  the  State  Convention. 
He  is  expected  back  early  next  week.  li.  judell  is  spending  a 
coui)le  (jf  weeks  in  Nevada,  calling  on  the  trade  in  all  parts  of 
the  State,  business  in  the  agricultural  district  of  Nevada  has 
l>een  improving  steadily  for  some  time,  and  has  now  attained 
.some  imi)ortance,  though  not  as  large  as  that  of  the  mining 
regit)ns  a  few  years  ago. 

L.  A.  Sawyer,  agent  for  W  San  Martin  ^'  Co.,  returned 
from  Nevada  early  this  week,  after  spending  some  three  weeks 
with  the  trade  there.  lie  states  that  business  in  the  mining 
camps  is  picking  up  again,  after  a  long  peri(Ml  of  depression,

stores  has  been  relieved  by  the  arrival  of  about  400,000.  mostlv 
five-cent  gcKxIs,  on  the  "Mongolia."  They  are  still  prett\ 
closely  cleaned  up  on  their  "\'an  Dyck"  cigar,  and  "(General 
Arthurs"  and  other  "staple"  lines  are  getting  their  usual  strong 
demand.  Julius  Cnger,  the  company's  manager  in  the  Hawa- 
iian Islands,  is  sending  in  very  favorable  reports  regarding  his 
territory.  Henry  hVey,  the  hx-al  traveling  man,  has  just  re-

Master"  and  "l>ingo"  brands,  and  Tillman  &  Hendel,  agents 
for  "La  Turina."  He  is  about  to  leave  for  Portland,  Tacoma 
and  Seattle. 

Local  detectives  last  week  arrested  three  members  of  a 
skillful  gang  of  cigar  store  burglars  who  had  caused  a  lot  of 
trouble.  They  have  been  connected  with  the  recent  robbery  of 
Herman  Kieser's  place,  at  1338  Golden  date  avenue,  and  have 
been  charged  with  burglar)'.

C)MF  Atlanta  business  men  recently  visited  Win- 
ston-Salein,  N.  C,  and  sent  back  the  following  to 
the  "Atlanta  Journal"  as  an  impression  of  what 
they  saw : 

"\\  .  R.  Reynolds,  vice-president  and  general  manager 
of  the  R.  J.  Reynolds  C»»mpany,  at  Winston-Salem,  person- 
ally conducted  the  pathfinders  through  the  tremendous 
building  of  several  stories  that  constitute  the  main  one  of 
the  company's  sixteen  tobacc»)  factories  in  Winston-Salem. 
Here  the  visitors  saw  the  tobacco  manufacturing  process 
from  the  UK.ment  the  raw  leaf  is  received  till  it  is  nailed  in 
boxes  ready  f<»r  shipment. 

"They  watched  the  hundreds  of  negroes  on  the  floor 
deftly  stripping  the  stem  from  the  leaf  and  piling  the  stems 
aside  to  be  weighed  in  pounds  at  the  end  of  their  working 
day. 

"They  saw  the  packing  machines  that  form  the  plug 
and  witnessed  the  wrapping  process  and  all  the  other  inter- 
esting details  of  preparing  tobacco  for  the  world's  market. 

"They  listened  to  the  negroes  catch  up  a  chorus  of 
song  to  greet  their  visitors.  They  watched  the  deft  and 
expert  women  employees  in  another  department  grade  and 
separate  the  leaf.  From  top  to  bottom  of  the  big  manu- 
factory they  were  led  by  Mr.  Reynolds,  winding  up  in  the 
department  where  the  tin  boxes  for  smoking  tobacco  are 
cut  and  clamped  and  perfected,  and  passing  last  of  all  to 
the  freight  department  with  its  air  of  a  big  railroad  head- 
quarters. 

**As  they  were  departing  Mr.  Reynolds  presented  the 
visitors  with  an  ample  supply  of  Prince  .Albert  smoking 
tobacco  and  other  products  of  the  factory."

THE  TOBACCO  WORLX)

A  Growing  Pennsylvania  Enterprise. 

BJl.  LLLTZ,  cigar  manufacturer,  Schwenksville,  La., 
has  just  returned  from  a  successful  trip  through 
New  Vork  State  pushing  a  new  brand  of  cigars. 
Mr.  Reltz  did  considerable  business  and  opened 
some  new  accounts.  His  factory  at  Schwenksville  was 
founded  some  twenty  years  ago,  when,  with  meagre  capital, 
he  started  in  business  for  him.self.  He  would  make  cigars 
by  day  and  in  the  evenings  go  out  and  sell  to  the  trade.  He 
had  the  right  idea,  however,  of  giving  the  best  quality  for 
the  least  money,  and  on  these  principles  his  business  has  ex- 
panded rapidly.  To-day  he  employs  sixty  hands  and  his  out- 
put exceeds  10,000  cigars  daily,  and  the  scope  of  his  trade 
reaches  from  coast  to  coast. 

His  rule  has  been  to  understand  and  master  every 
problem  of  cigar  making  and,  if  necessary,  he  could  go  to 
the  bench  now  and  make  cigars.  Mr.  lieltz  personally  looks 
after  the  F^astern  trade ;  his  son,  R.  T.  Heltz,  acts  as  office 
manager,  and  the  various  salesmen  in  different  localities  see 
that  the  Leltz  output  is  well  distributed. 

To  Push  the  Morris  Tobacco  Stemmer. 

HF  National  Tobacco  Stemming  Machine  Co.,  a  notice 
of  whose  incorporation  was  published  in  the  last  issue 
of  The  Ton.Acco  Wori^d,  has  secured  control  of  the 
Morris  patent  tobacco  stemming  machine  and  intends 
to  manufacture  and  push  it  extensively  in  the  tobacco  market. 
The  Morris  machine  is  acknowledged  by  experts  and  manufac- 
turers who  have  seen  it  to  be  a  wonderful  piece  of  mechanism, 
which  will  successfully  and  economically  stem  tobacco. 

The  company  is  getting  out  a  prospectus  exi)loiting  the 
machine  and  expects  to  conduct  an  active  campaign.  The 
officers  of  the  company  at  present  are  V.  I.  Hillings,  president, 
and  Jos.  \\  McKellip,  secretary  and  treasurer.  These  two, 
with  Ralph  C.  Lupt(^n.  of  Wilmington.  Del.,  compose  the  IJoard 
of  Directors,  but  it  is  intended  to  add  several  prominent  lialti- 
more  men  to  the  L>oar(l  of  Directors  in  the  near  future.

Missouri's  Corncob   Pipe    Industry. 

[ISSOCRI'S  uni(|ue  industry,  the  converting  ut  crude 
and  practically  worthless  conic<)b>  into  a  valuable 
commodity  known  the  world  over  as  "Missouri  meer- 
.schaum  pipes."  broke  all  records  for  (pumtity.  (|uality 
and  value  of  prc^xluction  during  the  year  just  closed.  acct>rdiug 
to  advance  infomiation  by  C  ouimissioiur  J.  C.  A.  lliller.  oT 
the  State  Bureau  of  L^I>or  Statistics. 

Missouri's  production  of  corncob  pipes,  the  UKwlern  pipes 
of  peace  which  make  tobacco  taste  its  sweetest,  amounted  in 
1909  to  27,733,260  pipes,  as  compared  with  24.4S  1.845  jnpes 
for  the  year  1908.  This  was  the  outi)Ut  of  seven  factories,  and 
in  addition  to  which  they  manufactured  454. 23()  wooden  piiK's. 
152,784  pipe  cleaners  and  1.881,484  e.xtra  stems. 

In  all,  according  to  the  Lalx^r  lUireau.  the  seven  factoric; 
which  reported  for  H)0()  employed  301  men  workers  and  52 
women  or  girls,  who  drew  in  the  course  of  that  year  $137,327 
in  salaries  and  wages.  The  raw  material  re(|uired  to  produce 
the  pipes  cost  $i(^.(^i,  most  of  which  went  to  farmers  f«»r 
cobs,  which  formerly  were  considered  useless  and  either  burned 
as  fuel  or  used  to  fill  swampy  lands. 

"Missouri  meerschaum"  pipes  are  used  the  world  «>ver.

Better  Goods  in  Demand  at  Pottstown. 

PoTTSTOWN,  Ta..  May  28th. — Retail  cigar  dealers  here 
have  (luring  the  last  few  weeks  experienced  a  noticeable  in- 
crease in  the  volume  of  business. 

The  local  industries  are  largely  in  the  iron  line,  and  in 
which  work  is  cjuite  plentiful  at  present.  .\s  a  result  the  sale 
of  finer  grades  of  g(KHls  is  again  increasing,  but  with  a  cor- 
responding decrease  in  the  sale  of  cheaper  lines.  That  fact  is 
really  encouraging  to  local  tradesmen. 

The  cigar  manufacturers  are  beginning  to  benefit  by  the 
improved  business  conditions,  and  more  hands  are  l)eing  put 
to  work. 

George  S.  Miller  &  Co.  have  lately  b(H>ked  some  nice  or- 
ders, as  a  result  of  a  visit  among  the  trade  by  Mr.  Kratz 
through  the  coal  region  territor)'.  A  number  of  repeat  orders 
have  also  come  in  lately  from  the  West,  where  their  "Ambro- 
sio"  brand  has  long  enjoyed  a  giKxl  sale. 

Roesch  Bros,  are  making  a  vigorous  drive  on  their  "In 
dian  .\x"  brand,  and  a  steadily  increasing  sale  has  been  tin 
result.     Within  a  radius  of  i)robablv  twentv-five  miles  there 

I  fT  r 

is  said  to  be  iKjt  a  single  retail  establishment  where  this  cigar 
is  not  on  sale.  So  well  is  this  brand  being  received  locally 
that  the  firm  now  contemi)late  a  more  extensive  campaign. 

C.  I>.  Lessig  &  l»ro.,  jobbers  and  retailers,  are  carrying 
a  general  line  of  popular  brands  of  cigars,  tobaccos,  etc.  They 
report  a  moderate  trade  at  this  time,  but  that  there  is  still 
room  for  a  little  more  improvement. 

A  new  retail  establishment  was  recently  opened  by  .\llen 
If.  Smith  at  313  High  street,  where  a  high  class  of  trade  is 
being  catered  to  by  a  choice  line  of  all  the  more  po|)ular  brands 
of  goods. 

His  line  includes  such  well-known  brands  of  clear  Havana 
cigars  as  the  "Marcello".  of  Duncan  &  M(K)rehead.  Thiladel- 
phia ;  "Leda",  of  T.  H.  Hart  &  Co..  Philadelphia,  and  "Jules 
X'erne",  of  A.  Ramirez  &  Co.,  of  Tampa.  In  the  10  cent  va- 
rietv  his  specialty  is  the  "(ieneral  Schuyler",  made  by  (leorge 
S.  Miller  &  Co..' Pottstown,  Pa. 

(irant  M.  K(K>ns,  a  manufacturing  retailer,  claims  the  dis- 
tinction of  being  the  oldest  cigar  manufacturer  in  the  town. 
but  until  a  few  years  ago  was  engaged  as  manager  of  other 
factories.  Xow  he  is  making  a  special  drive  on  the  "Litth 
C(M)n",  a  five  cent  pnxluct  of  his  own  make.

I.\  A  K«  neral  way  the  Imal  leaf  tobacco  market  has  not  shown  any 
partuular  activity  during  the  past  three  weeks,  and  yet  some  few 
^  small  lots  <.f  \)H  Pennsylvania  changed  hands.  Several  sales  of 
Connecticut  leaf  base  been  reported  ami  some  active  trading  was 
gomg  on  recently  in  Zinuner  Spanish  tobaccos.  Local  buyers  who 
receiuly  visUid  Connecticut  seeme«l  to  have  all  come  back  with  some 
purchases  ma<le. 

i  he  Sumatra  market  is  going  along  at  a  moderate  pace,  but  manu- 
facturers seem  to  be  buying  rather  sparingly.  It  is  rather  difficult  to 
«lett  rnmie  whether  there  is  really  any  favoritism  between  the  old  and 
new  goods.  OfTerings  of  new  goods  recentlv  made  in  this  market 
seemed  to  have  attracted  some  attention  among  local  dealers. 

In  Havana  tobacco  the  market  C(»nditions  seem  practically  un- 
changerl.  Mf.<|erate  purchases  are  being  reported  by  our  importing 
houses. 

Lanc.nstkr. 
Leaf  tobacco  men  report  that  there  is  no  improvement  in  the  sale 
•  •f  obi  goods,  ami  on  the  other  hand  it  has  been  pretty  delinitely  ascer- 
tained that  tlur«-  are  really  no  l.irge  (piaiuities  of  old  goods  remaining 
in  lir.st  hands.  Lancaster  warehouses  are  still  hlled  with  an  abimdance 
of  KjoS  leaf,  but  nmch  of  it  has  beiti  sold  by  packers  to  other  dealers, 
cig.ir  manufacturers,  etc.  Ihere  is  still  some  intermittent  buying  of 
i«xx^  crop.  I  bey  are  bec»»ming  so  widely  scattered,  however,  that 
progress  js  necessarily  slow.  Recent  prices  appe.ir  t.)  be  maintained  at 
this  time. 

The  recent  co(»l  weather  has  greatly  retarded  the  progress  (»f 
transpl.inting.  although  plant  beds  are  in  prettv  good  shai)e.  and  indica- 
ti«.ns  are  that  a  large  acreage  will  be  set  oiit  this  year.  During  the 
jMst  week  a  gnat  «leal  of  tobacco  was  planted,  although  the  work  was 
interrupted  fre(|uently  by  local  showers.  Damp  weather  is  an  admirable 
turn-  for  transpl.inting  tobacco,  but  actual  rains,  of  course,  result  in  a 
temporary  suspension  of  work. 

Of  the  K)<)0  crops  which  b.ive  been  delivered  to  local  warehouses, 
the  major  portion  has  been  packed  into  cases  and  is  now  ready  for  the 
fermentation  pnuess.  Bulb  sweating  has  been  considerably  in  vogue 
this  ye.ir.  and  just  this  past  week  the  writer  was  privileged  to  inspect 
several  large  piles  which  had  come  through  the  heat  in  fine  shape.  We 
believe  it  is  not  an  exaggeration  when  we  .sav  that  there  is  much  of  the 
1909  tobacco  that  shows  excellent  quality 

RK.MtFNG. 

Local  packers  are  about  completing  their  work  in  handling  the  iyo(> 
crops.  Their  purchases  are  perhaps  larger  than  during  the  average  year 
and  represent  .selecti«»ns  made  mostly  in  the  northern  section  of  Lan- 
caster county  and  in  Lebanon  county. 

Allfc.hfnvviij.k. 
Xe\y  tobacco  sheds  are  being  erected  in  this  section  and  extensive 
prep.arations   are    in    progress    for    the    raising   of   a    largely    increased 
acreage  of  tobacco  this  year. 


NEW  ENGLAND. 

SUFFIF.LD,  CONX. 

TOBACCO  GROWERS  of  this  section  are  still  complaining  of  the 
unsatisfactory  results  obtained  by  them  for  their  tobacco  crops 
of  the  past  two  years.  They  attribute  it  to  be  due  partly  to  the 
methods  of  buyers,  and  partly  to  the  fact  that  a  large  number  of  crops 
were  not  up  to  the  standard.  This  section  of  the  State  has  enjoyed  a 
reiMitatit.n  for  producing  a  high  quality  (»f  leaf  and  has  been  regarded 
as  the  b.-inner  district  of  the  Connecticut  valley.  Havana  seed  has  been 
raised  by  the  use  of  cottonseed  meal  and  cotton  hull  ashes  (cottonseed 
meal  to  furnish  the  nitrogen  and  vegetable  matter  and  cotton-hull-ashes 
to  supply  the  required  i)ercentage  of  potash),  l-armers,  however,  are 
complaining  that  it  is  impossible  to  get  cotfon-hull-ashes.  and  therefore 
they  find  it  necessary  to  endeavor  to  obtain  some  other  form  of  potash 
fertilizer.  It  may  be  that  this  can  be  procured  in  some  form  of  mineral 
.salts,  but  a  large  part  of  it  w»»uld  be  soluble  and  might  ui)set  the 
chemual  balance  of  the  land. 

Fnuh  is  also  being  found  with  the  continued  raising  of  crop  after 
crop  on  the  same,  and  it  is  stated  that  there  are  strips  of  land  in  this 
section  which  have  been  devoted  to  tobacco  raising  for  from  twenty- 
five  to  thirty  years  without  interruption.  Some  of  the  nally  successful 
farmers  are  staunch  advocates  of  crop  rotation  and  there  seems  to  be  no 
good  reason  why  this  theory  should  not  he  applied  to  tobacco  culture. 

Windsor. 
Transplanting  of  tobacco  has  progressed  very  steadily  in  this 
section.  A  majority  of  the  farmers  commenced  transplanting  as  early 
as  possible  this  year,  and  in  some  instances  they  have  about  completed 
the  work.  The  acreage  promises  to  be  fully  up' to  last  year,  if  in  fact, 
it  may  not  actually  exceed  it. 

Tariffvii.le. 
Ariel  Mitchelson  has  begun  setting  his  tobacco  and  was  one  of  the 
first  in  that  section.     He  is  again  devoting  his  energies  to  tent  grown 
leaf  and  this  year  will  grow  quite  a  number  of  acres. 

Barkhamstkap. 
.\s  kite  as  the  i6th  tobacco  plants  were  reported  to  have  been  nipi)ed 
by  frost.     Some  of  the  more  enterprising  farmers  sprinkled  water  on 
their  plants  before  sunrise  and  thus  saved  them. 

Poor  I  NOCK. 
.     Considerable  tobacco  has  already  been  set  out  in  this  town,  but  they 
have  been  deterred  somewhat  by  the  cold  weather.     Young  plants  seeiii 
to  be  in  abundance  this  year  in  this  vicinity. 

WISCONSIN. 

Kdgerton. 

Tl  lb'  tobacco  buying  movement  is  gradually  drawing  to  a  point 
where  only  occasional  transactions  are  taking  place,  for  the 
remaining  fractions  of  last  season's  crops  are  reduced  to  a  small 
figure.  During  the  rains  of  the  past  few  weeks  growers  were  enabled 
to  remove  the  last  hangings  of  tobacco  in  the  northern  sections  of  the 
State.  It  is  rather  an  unusual  occurrence  to  have  crops  remaining  in  the 
sheds  until  after  the  middle  of  May. 

Warmer  weather  has  followed  the  rains  of  the  past  few  weeks  and 
the  plant  beds  are  now  in  condition  to  come  forward  rapidly.  There  is 
every  prospect  that  the  plants  will  be  ready  for  the  fields  by  the  usual 
transplanting  time. 

Stouchton. 
According  to  reports  from  the  growing  districts,  seed  beds  are 
<loing  well,  with  some  plants  having  as  many  as  six  leaves.  It  was 
thought  for  a  time  that  transplanting  would  be  badly  delayed  because  of 
injury  to  jjlants,  but  warm  weather  from  now  on  will  advance  the 
season  a  couple  of  weeks.  The  snow  and  cold  weather  did  not  ruin  all 
the  beds,  nor  all  the  plants  in  any  bed.  and  growers  say  they  are  really 
satisfied  with  the  present  outlook. 


ALABAMA. 

Bay  Minf.ttf.. 

THl"!  residents  of  Robertsdale  and  Somerdale  are  very  busy  at  pres- 
ent setting  out  their  tobacco  j)lants.  Many  of  them  held  back, 
hoping  that  it  woubl  rain,  but  tlie  failure  to  receive  the  downpour 
in  time  has  forced  them  to  use  artificial  methods  to  furnish  the  tender 
plants  with  water.  The  famous  Sumatra  tobacco  is  the  variety  being 
planted  by  most  of  the  farmers,  and  many  acres  of  land  in  this  section 
arc  shaded  for  the  especial  purpose  of  producing  a  thinner  leaf.

AN  OPEN  LETTER  TO  THE  TRADE ; 

Some  of  you  ci>?ar  johhers  and  dealers  ought  t<»  wake  up! 
Some  of  you  are  Rip  Van  Winkles  livinj?  in  the  pa>t.  V».u  don't 
know  anything  hut  that  ciKar>  always  are  called  Havana  if  they 
are  good.      Porto  Rico?     \ot   for  you! 

Why  do  you  suppose  there  were  eleven  million  cijjars  bn)UKhl 
in  from  Porto  Rico  in  1*^)1  an<l  one  hundred  and  forty-five  million 
in  1909?  What  is  the  cause  of  this  tremendous  and  steaiiy  jijrowth 
that  is  still  going  on?  Is  it  possible  that  there  is  merit  in  Porto 
Rican  tobacco?  .\re  some  of  these  cigars  good?  Or  can  you  fool 
the  people  of  the  country  for  nearly  ten  years?  A  lot  of  wise  ones 
have  taken  on  SAVARONAS  and  have  made  good  with  them.  Xo 
<»ne  gets  fooled  that  takes  SAVARONAS. 

Tommy  table,  over  on  .Staien  Island,  shows  what  you  can 
do  if  you  try.  He  has  plastered  SAVARONAS  all  over  the  place 
and  his  business  is  growing  fast  and  he  hasn't  been  long  in  the 
cigar  business  either. 

I-'ay   Lewis,  in   Milwaukee,  and   Louis   Deschler.  in   Indiana,  are 
doing  tilings   with   SAVARONA  on   a  larger   scale.     We   have   lots 
(»f   others    who    are    turning    the    trick    all    the    way    from 
California,    where    Charlie    .Mattheas   puts    it   all   over   the 
our  SAVARONAS. 

Why  don't  some  more  of  you  wake  up?     Get  bufy! 
do  it,  too!     SAVARONA  is  a  new  deal  for  most  smokers  _ 

goods  from  Porto  Rico,  which  lots  of  goo<l  people  prefer  over 
Havana  and  they  dont  cost  as  much  even  as  the  fake  clear  Havana, 
let  ahine  the  genuine. 

I  (I  like  to  get  out  and  see  you  all  and  give  you  a  lot  of  these 
facts,  but  you  can  just  as  well  hand  your  orders  to  our  boys.  Jim 
Logan,  and  .Vaundnirg.  and  Kd.  Marshall  and  Kd.  White,  when 
they  call.  If  you  can't  wait  for  them,  write  to  me.  I'll  fix  you  up 
with  s.imples  and  the  goods.  We  own  the  plantations,  clevelop 
the  seed,  grow  dry  and  cure  the  tobacco,  manufacture  the  cigars 
in    our   t»wn    factories — and    my    side    partner.     Harry     Johnson,     in 

then   we   import 
the  whole  show  from  seed  to 
business — no    duty — and    the 
benefit  goes  to  you  and  your  customer.     That  means  A-1  cigars.

The  whole  country  is  again  base  ball  wild.     They  enjoy  the  world  and  the  best  of  what  it  affords 

That  includes  PULLIAM  Cigars,  selling  at  five  cents. 

PULLIAM   Cigars  are  made  in   full    Reina   Victoria    shape,    and   contain    just  enough  HAVANA  to  give  them* 
pronounced  aroma,  and  just  enough  domestic  leaf  to  make  them  very  mild. 

An  impartial  trial  will  convince  you  that  the  PULLIAM  Cigars  are   just   what   you   want   in   your  stock.     Through 
our  advertising  campaign  they  have  been  placed  in  eleven  cities  in  the  Central  West. 

For  the  benefit  of  our  distributors  we  supply  them  plentifully  with  advertising  matter,  appropriate  to  the  brand  of  Cigars 
and  the  season,  for  distribution  among  retailers  for  dressing  display  windows,  to  create  larger  sales  of  PULLIAM  Cigars.

It  was  not  within  the  power  of  the  Storage  Warehouse  Com- 
mittee to  remove  .same. 

.SjKakmg  of  the  reductions  ohlained  in  .\ew  \'(.rk,  Mr. 
Dolheer,  chairman  of  the  insurance  Committee  of  the  Xational 
(  igar  Leaf  'l\)hacco  Association,  said: 

"These  conces.sions   have  heen   brought   about   j)rincii)ally 

by  the  mutual  co-operation  between  tlie  assured  and  the  com'- 

panies  and  is  an  indication  of  what  can  be  acconii)lishe(l  by  the 

assured  throughout  ihe  country  following  similar  methods.'  W'e 

realize  that   the  regulations,  methods  and  rates  are  controlled 

I«)cally  in  each  .State  and  the  reductions  obtained  in  Xew  N'ork 

can  be  (lui)licate(l  elsewhere  if  the  same  methods  are  followed. 

**It   is  extremely   important   that  every   local  organization 

should  send  in  the  names  of  tl.e  rejjresentatives  chosen  by  them, 

who  shall  co-operate  with  the  .National   insurance  Committee. 

who  will,  when  the  committee  is  complete,  take  up  and  supi)ly 

information   and   suggestions    tor  their  guidance.      Cp   to  the 

j)resent  time  the   Xational  Committee  have  received  notice  of 

the  appointment   from  only  three  of  the  organizations  out.side 

(if  Xew  York  City  and  they  urge  upon  others  to  get  busy  at 

once  in  order  to  facilitate  the  work. 

"This  committee  needs  the  information  which  the  ap- 
pointee is  to  .secure  in  order  to  formulate  a  national  communica- 
tion which  it  is  proposed  to  mail  to  twenty  thousand  tobacco 
men  throughout  all  the  leaf  tobacco  producing  States.  The 
committee  must  be  in  po.ssession  of  this  information  not  later 
than  July   I5tli. 

"We  are  much  encouraged  by  the  concessions  obtained  and 
letters  of  appreciation  have  been  pouring  in  u|)on  this  commit- 
tee from  leaf  dealers  everywhere.  We  have  received  letters 
from  K.  Rosenwald  i\:  llrother  and  the  presidents  of  the  Xa- 
tional Cigar  Peaf  .\ssociation  and  the  .New  N'ork  Leaf  Tobacco 
Poard  of   Trade. 

"What  this  25%  reduction  means  can  be  ajjjjreciated  when 
it  is  stated  that  many  dealers  in  this  city  will  save  at  least 
.Si, 000  a  year  a.s  the  result  of  the  reduction."

and  the  .selling  of  plug  and  scrap  tobacco  worth  ,^0  cents  at  a 
straight  price  of  >-^  cents.  .Many  of  the  dealers  argued  that 
the  business  was  being  conducted  on  a  too  narrow  margin  and 
that  prices  shouM  be  augmented.  However,  there  were  just

and  ii->e  <»f'  tlie  pi|ie  wiiich  are  alniosi  nniver^ally  accej)ted. 

I  he  other  day  I  liad  the  j»Iea»nre  of  interviewin}^  a  sales- 
man in  a  retail  >tore  who  Ii.id  made  the  art  of  pipe  smokinjj 
a  ^tndy  and  I  ^^ive  herewith  hi->  view>  for  what  they  are  worth: 
"\\v  sell  pipes.  "  he  said,  "so  mayhe  it's  poor  hnsiness  for 
me  to  tell  men  Imw  to  take  care  i>\  them;  hnt  every  man  that 
loves  a  pi|)e  likis  to  sii-  (»ther  fellows  j^et  the  same  comfort 
ont  of  (die. 

"I  don't  know  either  as  it's  such  darned  poor  hnsines>  any- 
way to  tell  a  man  li-w  to  suitteii  a  briar  pipe.  The  more 
interest  he  takes  in  it  tlu-  mort-  he  likes  to  do  it.  .\o  two 
pipes  are  jiist  the  same  and  there's  always  a  fascination  about 
selecting,'  and  exj)erimentiiij4  with  a  new  one. 

"I  have  a  customer  whi»  has  bouj^ht  a  dozen  pipes  of  me 
in  the  past  three  year>  and  \\l.<t  thouj^ht  at  one  time  that  I  was 
a  pretty  |)oor  salesman  because  I  told  him  that  one  of  these  25 
cent  briars."  picking,'  <»iie  out  of  a  basket  of  pipes,  "would 
sweeten  just  as  well  as  a  $J  pi|>e. 

"  *lf  that's  so  younj;  man.'  he  chuckled.  'I'm  oblij^'cd  to  you 
btr  the  tij).  N«»ur  eiii]»loyer  i)robably  wouldn't  burst  with  joy 
if  he  found  you  pa>sinj^'  around  that  kind  of  information,  but 
I  won't  tell  him.  I'll  stake  myself  to  a  J5  cent  pipe,  thouj^h. 
if  y<»u  have  the  nerve  to  re|)eat  what  you  said.* 

"I  said  aj^ain  that  one  of  tlie  cheap  fellows  would  sweeten 
as  well  as  a  Sj  pipe  and  let  him  j^o  (»fT  thinking  he  had  the 
juke  on  me  and  my  em|)loyer.      lie  knows  better  now. 

",\ot  long  before  I  had  the  talk  with  the  customer  he  had 
wandered  in  one  day.  dawdled  over  the  pi|)e  display  ami  owned 
up  to  a  <lesire  which  strikes  every  man  at  .some  time  in  his 
sinokinj;  career,  the  desire  to  suioke  a  pipe. 

"I  le  bouj^ht  a  very  dark  brown  pipe,  paid  Sj  for  it.  listened 
carelessly  to  a  few  pointers  I  threw  nut  in  rej^ard  to  the  rij^ht 
wav  of  sweetening  a  pipe  and  went  away.  I  suggested  thai 
he,  buN  a  pi|»e  cleaner,  but  he  rigarde<l  the  cleaner  and  me.  too, 
with  suspicion,  l^aid  he  never  saw  an  old  smoker  fooling  with 
patent  conlraj)tions. 

"lie  came  back  pretty  soon  with  a  cracked  bowl  and  it  w-as 
then  that  I  told  him  the  solemn  truth  about  a  25  cent  briar 
sweetening  just  as  well  as  a  82  pipe.  Why  did  1  <lo  it?  Well, 
partK  because  I  love  a  pipe  and  I  wanted  to  convert  him  to 
the  faith.  Partly  because  I  knew  that  lie  wasn't  goo<l  for  an 
unlimited  number  of  sp<»iled  $2  purchases. 

"I  let  him  take  his  twenty-five  center  away  and  when 
he  c;uue  back  with  a  rank  Imwl  that  was  caked  at  the  top  and 
wet  at  the  bottom  and  smelK'<l  to  heaven  I  let  him  say  his  say 
about  the  lovely  sweetening  (|ualitie>  of  that  particular  pipe. 
Then  I  kiuw  that  the  time  had  come  when  he  would  really 
listen  to  advice  from  someboily  who  knew  how  to  Miioke. 

'*!  persuade<l  him  to  take  another  25-cenl  |)ij)e.  1  picked 
it  nut,  showed  him  all  its  detailed  markings,  made  him  see  its 
individuality,  as  if  it  were  a  setter  pup  or  a  girl.  Then  I  made 
him  take  a  pipe  cleaner.  al>o  an  oath  that  never  again  would  he 
use  a  knife  on  the  b(»wl  of  his  briar. 

"  riien  I  imparted  a  few  simple  rules  which  I  made  him 
learn  bv  heart  and  promise  to  observe.  Well,  he  has  bought 
a  good  manv  pipes  since  then,  lie  told  me  that  some  of  them 
he  has  named.  I  <lon't  remember  what  he  calls  them  all.  I 
know  there's  one  he  calls  *r.illikin'  and  another  he  calls  'Hester 
."^^treet.'  because,  as  he  say>.    it   takes  a  husky  puller  in  to  do 


l)Usines>  with  it.'  .Sometimes  he  buys  a  cheap  pij)e,  .s»»metimes 
an  expensive  one,  and  he  has  as  much  fun  sweetening  them  as 
another  man  would  have  breaking  a  colt." 

How    TO    r.ki;.\K    IN    .\    .\l.W     PiPK. 

"What  were  the  few  simple  rules  you  gave  himr"  1  in- 
(|uire<l. 

"Well,  to  begin  with,  before  you  put  tobacco  int<)  a  new 
pij>e  till  the  bowl  with  cold  water.  Let  it  stay  a  few  minutes, 
then  j)our  it  out.  Tut  about  half  a  pipeful  of  tobacco  in  next. 
.\'ot  more  becuise  you  want  the  charring  of  the  inside  of  the 
bowl  to  begin  at  the  bottom,  not  at  the  top. 

"Smoke  that  slowly.  That  means  that  you  must  smoke  it 
indoors,  out  of  draughts,  rain  or  excessive  cold.  When  you 
have  smoke<l  that  small  <|uantity  of  tobacco  empty  your  pipe 
ami  put  in  a  little  more.     .Smoke  that  an<l  then  i)Ut  in  a  ])ipeful. 

"In  this  way  you  char  tl.e  bowl  fnjui  the  bottom  upwanl; 
but  you  must  be  careful  to  smoke  all  the  tobacco  you  put  in, 
otherwise  the  cake  won't  form  at  the  bottom.  Let  the  bowl 
cool  between  fillings. 

"Clean  your  pipe  with  a  cleaner,  not  with  a  knife.  If  you 
Use  a  knife  you  are  likely  to  scrape  the  cake  off  unevenly.  i)er- 
haj)s  ex|)osing  the  wood  itself  in  sp<>ts.  If  that  happens  these 
spots  burn  out  in  little  chimneys,  and  before  y«>u  know  it  your 
pijjc  is  ruined. 

"If  you  do  not  clean  the  pipe  at  all  you  are  likely  to  have 
a  cracked  bowl,  for  the  heat  expands  the  cake  more  than  it 
does  the  wood  outside.  s<»  that  the  latter  has  to  crack. 

I'lKST  Lk.s.sons   in  C'm:.\nin(;. 

"Clean  the  bowl  often  with  alcohol  or  whiskey.  They  say 
that  cleaning  with  anything  hot  opens  the  pores  of  the  pipe 
so  that  it  fouls  again  right  away. 

"It's  bad  for  a  pipe  to  keep  it  in  the  mouth  when  it  isn't 
being  smoked.  The  moisture  from  the  nn>uth  collects  at  the 
bottom  of  the  bowl  and  that's  bad   for  j)ipe  and  tobacco  both. 

"A  man  who  smokes  pretty  steadily  ought  to  have  a  col- 
lection of  pipes  an<l  change  off  after  a  smoke,  ^'ou  can't  keep 
a  j)ii)e  going  all  the  time  without  burning  it  up." 

"Was  it  really  true  that  the  25-cent  pii)e  would  sweeten 
as  well  as  a  more  expensive  one?"  1  asked. 

"Sure!  They're  made  of  the  same  woo<l,  but  the  clieap 
pipes  are  seconds.  The  bowls  when  they  are  turned  out  are 
.sent  to  a  .sorting  r<M)m  where  ex|)erience(l  men  look  them  over 
for  defects. 

".Suppose  there  is  a  little  chip  or  nick  out  <d'  the  side.  That 
makes  it  a  second,  but  it  doesn't  interfere  with  the  smoking 
(|ualitty  of  the  pijK'  and  if  you  didn't  know  how  to  find  the 
traces  of  the  defect  you'd  never  know  it  was  there.  The  nick 
is  filled  before  the  ])\]K'  is  colored,  so  that  you  have  to  hunt 
for  the  spot.  It  doesn't  take  (juite  so  deep  a  tone  as  the  wood 
does,  so  you  can  find  it. 

TiiK  Diri'KkKN  r  Kinds  or  I'iimcs. 

".\11  briarwood  pipes  are  colored,  the  natural  wood  being 
a  light  brownish  yellow.  Tastes  difi'er  as  to  the  exact  shade 
desired.  1  rather  think  the  discriminating  smoker  takes  a 
lighter  shade  than  the  inexperienced,  lie  can  judge  better  the 
grain  of  the  wood  and  he  can  have  his  own  fun  doing  the 
coloring. 

"liird.seyes  are  very  much  liked  in  the  wood.  W  hen  the 
sorter  comes  across  a  bowl  with  these  markings  he  always  puts 
it  aside.     It  brings  a  better  price.

"  riien  there  are  men  who  like  long  fine  lines  in  the  grain, 
needles  tf.ey  are  called  ;  but  things  like  that  don't  make  any  dif- 
ference in  the  smoking  (|uality  of  a  pipe.  excei)t  in  cases  where 
a  natural  chimney  exists  in  the  grain.  These  chimneys  are  some- 
tunes  not  discovered  until  they  burn  out  almost  the  first  time 
the  pij)e  is  smoked.  When  that  liapi)ens  we  take  back  the 
pipe  and  give  another  in  its  place. 

"  The  extreme  shapes  of  the  stem,  hangovers  and  s(iuare 
angled,  seem  to  catch  the  young  fellows.  (  )lder  men.  as  a  rule, 
smoke  the  straight  stemmecl  pipe. 

"Patent  pipes  don't  catch  on  as  a  rule.  Here's  one  that 
has  a  special  advantage  for  certain  occasions  because  after  you 
till  the  bowl  you  fasten  the  cap  cover  down  and  then  turn  the 
bowl  upside  down  and  smoke  it  in  that  way,  the  air  coming  in 
through  the  fine  holes.  It's  a  good  thing  for  fishermen  souie- 
timcs.  If  a  man  gets  a  fish  on  the  hook  and  wants  to  put  his 
pipe  in  his  pocket  while  he  lands  his  prize  he  can  do  it  without 
em|)tying  the  bowl  or  letting  it  go  out." 

Effect  of  New  Tax  After  July    1  st 

How  the    New  Revenue  Act  will    Affect  Tobacco,  Cigarettes  and 

Little  Cigars. 

TH ''-  cigar,  cigarette  and  tobacco  interests  are  awaiting 
with  much  interest  the  effects  of  the  new  revenue 
law  which  goes  into  force  July  ist.  There  have  been 
many  iiKjuiries  lately  at  the  P.ureau  of  Internal 
Revenue  as  to  the  exact  import  of  the  changes.  An  examina- 
tion of  the  new  regulations  shows  that  the  princii)al  changes 
afTect  tobacco,  snufY  and  cigarettes.  On  cigars  the  tax  is  in- 
creased on  only  those  weighing  not  more  than  three  pounds  jkt 
thousand.  This  affects  only  the  little  cigars  and  not  the  .stand- 
ard sizes. 

For  the  information  of  the  trade  we  reprint  herewith  a 
summary  of  the  changes  which  will  become  effective  luly  ist. 
and  al.so  information  sent  out  by  Commissioner  Cabell: 

"In  lieu  of  the  i)ackages  now  authorized,  manufactured  to- 
bacco and  snuti'  shall  be  jnit  up  in  packages  of  j/^,  .)4,  i,  i"4, 

ij/'.  I}--!.  2,  2'4.  2y2,  2y^,  3,  3'4,  y/,,  t^Ya^  4.  ^>.  7.  «.  i". 

12,  14  and  if)  ounces;  also  snuff  in  bla<l(lers  and  in  jars  con- 
taining not  exceeding  twenty  pounds,  and  cavendish,  plug.  an<l 
twist  tobacco  in  vvtxxlen  packages  not  exceeding  200  pounds 
net  weight. 

"The  tax  on  manufactured  tobacco  and  snuff  increased 
from  6  to  8  cents  per  pound. 

*'Cigars  weighing  more  than  3  ixmnds  per  thousand  shall 
be  put  up  in  packages  containing  5,  10,  12,  13,  25,  50,  100.  200, 
250,  and  500  cigars;  tax.  $3  |)er  thousand. 

"Cigars  weighing  not  more  than  3  pounds  |)er  thousand, 
in  packages  containing  5.  8.  10,  15,  20,  50,  and  100  little  cigars; 
tax  increased  from  54  cents  to  75  cents  per  thousand. 

"Cigarettes  weighing  not  more  than  3  pounds  per  thousand, 
in  packages  containing  5,  8,  10.  15,  20,  50,  and  100  little  cigar- 
ettes; tax  increased  from  54  cents  and  $1.08  to  one  rate  of 
$1.25  per  thousand. 

"Cigarettes  weighing  more  than  3  pounds  per  thousand, 
in  packages  containing  5,  10,  15.  20.50.  and  100  large  cigarettes; 
tax  increased  from  83  to  $3.f)0  per  thou.sand. 

"The  changes  in  rates  of  tax  above  enumerated  apply  to 
packages  removed  from  the  limits  of  InHided  premises  of  fac- 
tories or  custom  house  after  midnight  of  June  30.  i<;io.  but 
not  to  tobacco,  snuff,  cigars,  and  cigarettes  in  the  han<ls  of 
jobbers  and  dealers,  which  were  removed  from  factories  prior 
to  the  first  moment  of  July  i,  1910, 

"Notice  is  hereby  given  that  on  and  after  July  i,  n;io. 
every  stamped  statutory  package  of  cigars  and  cigarettes  of 
domestic  manufacture  must  have  affixed  to  or  printed  uihmi 
it  the  caution  notice  re(|uired  by  section  3393  of  the  Revised 
Statutes  and  the  factory  brand  required  by  section  ^T^i)"/  of  the 
Revised  Statutes. 


"  1  he  i)rinting  of  ihc  caution  notice  and  brand  on  cart*  us 
in  lieu  of  the  stamped  packages  contained  therein,  being  con- 
trary to  law.  will  not  be  allowed  after  the  above-mentioned 
dale." 

Cigarettes  in  Russia. 

The  use  of  cigarettes  is  general  in  Russia,  each  class  in- 
«lulging  in  its  favorite  brand  with  e.|ual  satisfaction,  whether 
the  tobacco  is  encased  in  the  most  expensive  «)r  perfumed  rice 
paper,  or  rolled  roughly  in  brown  paper,  a  methi.d  used  bv  the 
l)oor. 

In  a  recent  speech  in  .Moscow  the  .Minister  of  l-inance 
compared  Russia's  budget  with  the  huge  deficit  of  other  lead- 
ing countries  of  b:uroi)e.  remarking  that  the  increase«l  tax  on 
\vrapi)ers  for  cigarettes  had  guarantee«l  the  (;«»vernment  against 
any  lack  of  funds  to  meet  the  necessary  expenses.  This  shows 
the  immense  profits  obtained  from  the  use  <»f  tobacco  thr(»ugh 
State  taxation.

Know  Your  Field  Thoroughly. 

#y^lHI.S  thou^^ht  comes  prominently  to  the  front  in  <.fferin«; 
I  I  "sellinj,'  ideas"  to  the  retail  ci^'arist.  .Stndv  the  field

the  various  meiuhers  of  your  o.mmunity— kni.w  that  to  sell

hrinj.;s  success." 

Harry  (Proves  has  purchased  the  ci^'ar  husiness  of  ( ".eorge 
K.   hield.  at  San   r.ernardo.  Cal. 


Get  Acquainted  With  Your  Business. 

ill*,  cij^'ar  husiness  ot  t<»-<iay  has  hecome  a  complex  in- 
dustry, particularly  f(.r  the  man  whose  husiness  is  in 
the  medium  class  as  to  volume  and  ^'eneral  scopt'. 
Me  uHist  face  ahout  and  j,'et  husy.  There  are  several 
extremes  in  the  retail  ci^'ar  husiness  as  in  nearly  all  other  lines 
of  trade,  '{'he  lar;,'er  and  well-known  estahlishment.  which  has 
for  a  numher  of  years  had  a  host  of  patrons,  is  well  rooted, 
while  the  newer  and  perhaps  >maller  >tore,  prohahlv  in  a  less 
pn.minent  thorouj:;hfare.  needs  less  husiness  to  maintain  it.  yet 
it  has  needs  for  exj)ansion  and  there  he^dns  the  ruh. 

If  a  certain  specific  plan  were  laid  and  doselv  followed 
the  results  would  j)erhaps  he  astonishinj^ly  {.jood.  And  after 
a  lew  months  experimenting,'  one  would  he  surprised  to  note 
how  closely  a  husiness  cati  he  plamied.  and  it  will  also  he  found 
a  fascinatin",'  and  j)rofital)le  study.  The  secret  usuallv  lies  in 
tlie  systematic  mana^'ement.  The  manaj^er  must  alwavs  know 
his  limits  in  purchasiu}.,'  for  any  ^'iven  pericMl  of  time,  just  as 
much  as  he  must  he  ahle  to  skilfully  discriminate  in  his  selec- 
tions of  j^'oods.  .\fter  that  the  ex|)enses  must  come  under  his 
critical  eye. 

It  is  up  to  the  retailer  to  ^'et  thorouj,dily  ac(|uainted  with 
his  husiness  and  haul  himself  over  the  coals,  when  necessary, 
or  hire  someone  to  do  it  f«>r  him  if  need  he.  It  is  a  .safe  rule 
that  so  lonj^'  as  purchases  are  almost  as  lar^'e  as  the  sales,  and 
his  stock  keeps  on  rising  instead  of  falling  ofT,  and  when  sales 
do  not  increase  over  certain  previous  periods,  and  when  ex- 
penses do  increase  over  previous  similar  i)eriods.  that  he  must 
lo<.k  out.  The  husiness  then  needs  heroic  treatment  and  there 
had  hetter  hegin  a  throwing  overhoani  of  hallast. 

The  Value  of  Cheerfulness. 

I  ^  1  ' '  ''-'■-•'^  1  I  'L.\  less  is  almost  a  contagi«.us  element  in 
[2y  I  hinuan  nature.  The  cheerful  person  walks  in  a  sheen 
[HSEIl  "f  sunshine  that  casts  its  rays  upon  all  things  ahout 
him.  Smile>  are  "catching" — smiles  makes  smiles, 
while  gloom  casts  shadow  all  around,  .\gain  cheerfulness  is 
seen  not  only  in  the  eyes  and  uK.uth.  hut  all  the  features  of 
the  face  are  caused  to  heani  hy  its  presence.  That  cordial 
hand-grasp,  with  its  electric  current  of  sincerity  and  good-will, 
will  surely  send  a  thrill  of  pleasure  into  the  whole  heing  of  the 
recipient,  causing  the  heart  to  palpitate  the  faster  and  pulsation 
to  (luickeii. 

Truly,  "laugh,  and  the  w<.rld  laughs  with  you."  Laughter 
—the  cheery  laughter— sends  an  electric  current  of  friendship 
that  almost  heats  the  pace  of  wireless  telegraphy. 

Therefore,  he  cheerful,  he  joyous,  felicitous  at  all  times, 
and  Ml  all  i)laces.  for  no  other  characteristic  of  the  retailer  has 
a  greater  value.  It  will  make  friends  and  make  them  fast,  and 
hold  them.  t<»o.  so  long  as  vou  are  cheerful.

A  Rare  Collection  of  Cuttings 

X  the  show  window  of  .\.  .Xovotny's  cigar  store,  at 
1444  I'.njadway,  near  hortieth  street.  .\ew  \'ork,  is 
a  very  iuteroting  exhihit.  It  is  a  show  case,  con- 
taining the  cigar  ends  which  have  heen  collected  from 
the  cigar  cutters,  heginning  with  the  founding  of  this  estah- 
lishment in  icXjS  and  up  to  the  present  time,  representing  an 
accumulation  of  thirty-two  years.  It  is  estimated  the  numher 
of  end>  thus  collected  and  in  this  case  is  ah<»ut  2.5(X),0(X). 

Mr.  Xovotny  is  one  of  the  old-school  tobacconists,  having 
hegun  husiness  at  Uroadway  and  T'( Mirth  street  when  that  part 
of  the  city  in  those  days  was  the  real  tenderloin,  lie  remained 
there  for  twenty-two  years,  wlieii  he  removed  to  his  i)resent 
location  oil  Hroadway.  which  is  now  .\ew  N'ork's  "White 
Way."  lie  has  now  associated  with  him  his  two  sons,  Arthur 
L.  and  Charles  Xovotny. 

h'or  a  numher  of  years  during  this  collection  these  ends 
were  kept  in  glass  and  stone  jars  and  spread  around  the  store 
in  conspicuous  places,  until  there  was  an  accumulation  of  forty- 
five  jars,  when  it  was  decided  to  put  them  in  the  t»ne  case  and 
place  it  in  the  win<low.  They  have  also  on  exliil)iti(>n  the  orig- 
inal plunger  cigar  clii)per  used  in  their  store  thirty-two  years 
ago;  and  beside  it  stands  one  of  the  modern  automatic  stvie 
now  in  vogue.  Many  demands  are  made  on  them  from  their 
customers  to  purchase  these  ends  by  the  pound  for  pii)e  smok- 
ing, but  they  are  treasured  too  highly  to  allow  (d'  their  sale.

riu-  tobacco  world   has  been  j^reatly  amused  atul  e.xciled 

down    in    Missr.uri,    where  a  conference   has   taken    j)lace.   the 

<»bject  ot   which  was  to  protest  aj^aiust  der^^ymen  indul}4in«,^  in 

the  Use  of  the  weed.     ICverylxxly  assembled  .seemed  to  be  entliu- 

siastic  over  the  importaiK'e  of  the  <|uestion,  and  not  the  least 

amusing  feature  of  the  proceeding's  was  the  fact  that  delegates 

and  preachers  were  in  keen  competition  with  each  other  to  be 

heanl.  regardless  of  the  tobaco.  that  was  in  their  mouths  aiul 

the  cigars  in  their  pockets  at  the  very  tinu'  they  were  making 

their  best  efforts  at  orat<»ry.     .\rgunu-nts   for  and  against  flew 

thick  and   fast,  but  it  is  our  opiuion  that  the  gentlenu'u  of  the 

doth  will  still  indulge  in  their  favorite  brand  of  cigars,  de.spite 

the  public  clamor  to  the  contrarv. 

These  procee<lings  recall  to  my  miiul  a  famous  judge  in 
Coiidun.  wh(»  was  renowned  for  his  wit  and  humor.  In  the 
course  of  a  famous  trial  in  the  \  ictorian  reign,  he  suddenly 
adjourned  curt  for  a  short  tinu-  without  any  api)arent  reas.ju. 
It  was  afterwards  found  that  he  wished  t..  iiuhdgt-  in  a  twentv 
minutes'  whiff'  at  his  favorite  briar. 

fC      fT      fT 

There  was  nuuh  joy  in  one  household  in  New  N'ork  last 
week  when  judge  Malone  handed  down  a  decree  to  the  efTect 
that  (.reedy,  the  cigar  dealer  on  Third  avenue.  New  ^^»rk.  be 
allowed  to  change  his  nanu-  from  ( i reedy  to  ( ireely. 

Of  late  years,  the  courts  have  been  very  charv  in  permit- 
tmg  citizens  to  change  their  coguonu'Us.  but  the  learned  jurist 
look  into  consideration  (ireedy's  ingenuous  claim  that  his  name 
was  an  absolute  drawback  to  his  business  aiuI  led  him  to  be 
com|)ared  with  the  fam.»us  editor,  .\ccording  t..  Mr.  (ireedy's 
stateuK-nt.  it  a|)pears  that  alth..ugh  he  was  rated  to  be  one  of 
the  most  generous  men  in  the  neighborhood,  his  comi)etitors 
advertised  him  widely  by  stating  that  he  was  greedv  bv  both 
nanu-  and  nature,  with  a  c.mse(|uent  decided  loss  to' his  busi- 
ness. I'Aery  time  he  tried  to  get  a  fair  profit  on  a  nickel  cigar 
I'M-  was  accuse«l  of  charging  exorbitant  prices, 
lie  is  "dreedy"  no  more. 

j»  j»  Jt 
*'T..  get  the  real  go.ul  out  of  smoking."*  said  the  man  be- 
hnul  the  tobacco  counter,  '•y.ni  must  do  sonu-thing  more  than 
nu-rely  burn  tobacco,  ^'ou  must  first  find  the  cigar  or  the 
cigarette  or  the  mixture  that  suits  you.  It  would  be  as  absurd 
t(»  e.\i)ect  every  man  to  like  the  same  tobacco  as  to  expect  them 
all  to  want  to  marry  the  same  girl.  Of  course,  some  girls  are 
belles.  So.  y. »u  may  say.  are  some  mixtures;  but  tastes  difTer. 
"lake  the  l-'.nglish  smoker,  for  inslaiuv.  When  he  buys 
a  cigar  he  holds  it  up  to  his  ear  and  rolls  it  gently  between  his 
fingers.  If  it  crackles  softly,  all  right.  That  suits  him.  He 
wants  his  cigars  and  cigarettes  dry:  but  when  he  buys  smoking 
t<.l)acco  he  wants  it  s,,  damp  that  he  can  almost  .s(|ueeze  out 
the  moisture. 

"Most  .\mericaii  smokers  want  a  moist  cigar.  That's 
why  they  complain  that  they  can't  buy  good  cigars  in  luigland. 
When  It  comes  to  smoking  tobacco,  too.  they  line  up  against 
tlu-  llritish  idea.  At  any  rate  that's  true  of  the  pojnilar  taste. 
Why.  tlu-  best  seller  we  have  in  clieaj),  light  smoking  tobacco 
is  as  dry  as  sawdust.  The  pojnilar  .\merican  cigarettes  are 
moist.     Wm  see  we  difTer  with  the  ICnglish  all  along  the  line.

It  IS  a  local  concession  and  in  no  way 

affects  the  insurance  on  \vareh(»uses  outside  of  Xew  \ork. 

To  ohtain  national  reductions,  the  committee  hea<le(l  hy  h'. 
M.  Dolheer,  of  the  Xational  Cigar  Leaf  Tohacco  As.sociation. 
was  appointed,  in  accordance  with  resolutions  passed  at  the 
Ihirtford  convention.  Thi^  Xational  C«»mmittee  has  aj)pealed 
to  the  various  local  leaf  as.sociations,  calling  ui)on  them  for 
co-operation  and  asking  them  to  name  a  man  in  each  section 
to  do  the  work  indicated.  .So  far.  there  has  heen  a  lamentahle 
lack  of  co-operation  and  to  this  dale  the  committee  has  received 
notice  of  the  api)ointment  hy  only  three  of  the  organizations 
outside  of  Xew  ^'ork  Citv. 

The  victory  in  Xew  York  emphasizes  the  results  which 
can  be  accomplished  when  once    the    tobacco    interests    work 


shoulder  to  shi.uldvr  lor  tluir  common  -.K.d.  If  iIk-  tobacco 
dealers  in  every  section  desire  sinni.ir  o.nces.ions.  they  can 
•  ►btain  them  only  hy  concentrated  elLTt.  Ihese  loeal  associa- 
tions shouM  get  busy  at  once,  appoint  ilu.r  ivpresentative  and

Tobacco  men  of  the  countrv.  awaken  to  vm  own  in- 
terests ! 


In  scanning  the  recent  statistics  issued  b\  the  Department 
of  Commerce  and  Labor  it   was  observed  that  nearly  one  hall 

of  the  manufactures  exported  from  the 
The  United  Cnited    States    go    to    llritish    tirritorv 

Kingdom  Our  and    form    more    than    oiu'  third    ..f    the 

Best  Customer.  total   e\|M.rts   to   that    domain,  and   this 

despite  the  fad  that  (  Meat  I'.rilain  is  the 
greatest  manulaclurer  of  luirope  and  the  uorld's  greatest  ex- 
porter t.f  manufactured  g(»ods. 

Ihe  I  lilted  Kingd..ni  is  a  growing  niaikit  i"..r  not  ..nly  the 
leaf  tobacco  grown  in  lhi>  coimtr\ .  but  tor  cig.irs  and  cigarettes 
as  well,  b'or  the  ten  ukmiiIis  en<ling  .Xj.ril  loth.  the  Cnited 
Kingdom  bought  i?i  i.7.S.^.vX;  u.,rlli  ,.f  kaf  from  this  cuiitrv. 
as  against  S4>.S(.7.4(),S  f.,r  the  same  period  ,,f  the  year  previous. 

Ihe  exi)ortatioii  .,f  American  cigars  form  the  smallest 
part  of  our  tobacco  business  with  that  C(»uiitrv.  In  cigarettes, 
however,  the  llritish  l-.asi  Indies  proved  the  best  cusfiner'. 
having  imrchased  S7«>5.47(.  worth  of  cigarettes  for  ten  months 
ending  Ajiril.  i.yio.  as  against  S(.,S7.jv,  !,„•  tlu-  same  period  of 
n>(x;.  In  both  leaf  tobacco  and  cigarettes  the  Cnited  Kingdom 
is  the  best  customer  of  this  countrv. 

Leaf  dealers  .-md  manufacturers  uho  are  seeking  to  e.\- 
pand  their  business  would  d«»  well  to  >tud\  the  Ihitish  market 
closely  and  take  advantage  of  its  p<  .ssibilitii-N. 


Mexico,  as  well  as  other  Latin  countries,  has  alwa\s  been 
looked  uix.n  as  the  home  of  cigarettes,  but  if  the  latest  reports 

from  Ciicle  .Sam's  sifter  republic  are 
true,  the  cigarette  has  bec«>me  passe 
and  in  its  jilace  has  risen  the  desire  of 
the  native  to  suioke  the  old-fashioned 
pipes. 
According  to  |.  |:.  \  eramendie,  one  of  the  leading  dealers 
of  Mexico  City,  in  the  next  fews  years  the  Use  «.f  cigarettes 
will  have  diminished  from  2^'\  to  50';  in  relation  t.»  the  popu- 
larity of  pipe  smoking.  The  inii)ortation  of  Kngli«;h  briars  and 
meerschaums  is  growing  tremendously  and  the  .Mexicans  are 
hitting  the  pipe  and  seem  to  enjoy  it.

Good  Display  at  Knickerbocker  Pharmacy. 

IIILI''-  passing  ahmg  P.roadway  at  Thirty-eighth  street 
one's  attention  is  always  attracted  to  the  window 
display  (»f  cigars  and  cigarettes  at  the  Knickerbocker 
Pharmacy.  Last  week  hjsenlohrs  "Cinco"  and  the 
new  liismark  size  of  "La  .\zora  "  cigars  were  the  main  fea- 
tures. "Kgyptian  Deities.  La  Manjuise"  and  *Monolite" 
cigarettes  made  up  the  foundation  of  the  disj)lay. 

The  *'La  Azora"  is  becoming  very  pt)pular  in  New  N'ork. 
particularly  at  this  store.  It  is  an  Havana  filler  with  Connecti- 
cut broad  leaf  wrapper,  made  by  Lilienfeld  llros.  i*t  Co..  of 
Chicago,  .\cker,  Merrell  cK:  Condit  are  the  jobbers  for  this 
territory  an<l  find  them  a  very  ready  seller. 

The  Knickerbocker  IMiarmacy.  which  was  establishe<l  in 
l8<>J.  has  been  recently  purchased  by  Henry  M.  (iratta.  who 
for  the  past  three  years  controlled  the  the  cigar  department 
only.  Mr.  (Iratta  is  an  old-time  tobacco  man,  h'or  many  years 
he  was  associated  with  his  father  in  the  leaf  firm  of  P..  (iratta 
&  .Sons,  located  on  Water  street.  Mr.  (iratta.  Senior,  estab- 
lished this  business  in  iK()4  and  it  was  well  known  in  the  trade 
up  tu  five  years  ago,  when'it  went  out  of  business. 


Mr.  Tarantous  Back  from  Havana. 

^YI  TARANT(  )CS,  of  J.  rarantous  &  Co..  returne.l 
^^^M  from  Havana  June  4th  on  the  *'Morro  (."astle." 
^^g|3  While  in  Havana  he  purchased  i()4  bales  of  choice 
\  uelta  Abajo,  114  bales  of  which  have  since  arrived 
in   New  ^'ork. 

Although  this  firm  was  «)iily  organized  in  September.  i«mk>. 
its  partners.  J.  Tarantous  and  J.  V.  Miller,  are  not  by  any 
means  new  to  the  business,  both  having  spent  many  years  with 
H.  Regensberg  i\:  Sons,  the  former  seventeen  years  as  factory 
superintendent  and  the  latter  fourteen  years  as  general  man- 
ager. Their  business  has  already  grown  to  such  an  extent  that 
they  have  taken  an  additional  space  and  now  occupy  three 
tliK)rs  at  Ji^  Pearl  street. 

The  factory  brand  is  "Mi  \'alor,"  a  clear  Havana  pro- 
duction, made  in  forty-eight  shapes  and  sizes.  Another  brand. 
"IMorinata".  «)f  the  same  high  grade  (|uality  and  made  in  very 
fine  sizes  only,  is  in  preparation  and  will  shortly  Ik'  ready  for 
the  tra<le.  .\  new  road  salesman  leaves  New  ^'ork  June  13th 
for  a  three  months'  trip,  beginning  with  New  York  State  and 
making  a  thorough  canvass  of  the  principal  cities  through  the 
West  and   Northwest,  as  far  as  the  Coast. 

Faber  6c  Co.  Launch  Magi  Cigarettes. 

nuring  the  past  week  b'aber  \'  Co.,  the  fine  old  wholesale 
cigar  house  at  i  IJeaver  street.  New  York,  have  placed  upon 
the  market  a  new  brand  of  Turkish  cigarettes  of  their  own 
manufacture.  The  firm  chose  as  the  name  of  the  cigarette  the 
"Magi,"  and  pack  the  g<K)(ls  in  a  very  ornamental  l>ox  of  blue 
and  yellow,  embellished  with  a  cut  of  one  of  the  wise  men  of 
the  east.  Robert  T.  Doming,  of  the  sales  force  of  the  house, 
tells  us  that  they  have  already  lK)oke(l  future  orders  for  several 
hundred  thousand  of  these  cigarettes  and  their  prospects  look 
very  promising. 

This  is  a  radical  move  on  the  part  of  T'aber  &  Co..  but  they 
have  not  gone  into  the  manufacture  of  the  gcKxls  on  any  half- 
way scale,  but  have  leased  an  additional  floor  in  their  building 
at  I  P.eaver  street,  wherein  the  gocnls  will  be  made  for  the 
present  under  their  direct  supervision. 

The  house  is  particularly  desirous  of  introducing  the  goods 
into  the  most  select  clubs  at  points  where  a  strictly  high  grade, 
fine  (|uality  cigarette  will  be  appreciated. 


L  Mendez  &  Co.  have  incorporated  in  Xew  York  with  a 
capital  of  .S5.100  to  maiuifacture  and  deal  in  cigars,  cigarettes, 
tobacco,  etc.  Incorporators.  James  A.  Martin.  I'Vank  .\,  Spen-

The  ^^rowth  of  the  firm  has  been  steady  an<l  unusual.  I«>om 
a  retail  busmoss  they  have  branched  out  into  the  exjx.rtin^^  line 
and.  naturally,  their  attenti..u   is  directed   towards   the  exp(»r- 
tation  of  Manila  ci^ar-.     This  vm]  of  the  concern's  affairs  has 
;;rown  to  such  an  extent  that  thev  have  now  deemed  it  neces- 
sary f.  open  in   Xew    N'ork   for  a   further  enlargement  of  their

sent   all   over  the   world;    luirope.   Australia.   China.    In.lia,   as 
well  as  the   Cnited  .States. 

It  is  needless  t(.  .say  that  willi  the  intimate  kiiowledj^e  of 
the  Manila  ci^ar  situation  which  the  tirni  of  (  )lseu  \-  Co. 
enjoys,  that  they  have  some  exceolin^ly  attractive  i)rop(.siti,,ns 
to  make  to  responsible  merchants.  TIr.  l„,use  controls  a  num-

Cartridges  for  Filling  Pipes   Revived  in   England. 

Ill",  elimination  ..f  tlu-  t..baccM  pMuch  and  the  revival  of 
cartridges  for  pipe  tilling  is  bringing  about  manv 
changes  lu.l  only  in  the  h.ibits  ,,\  tlu-  l-.nglish  t..bacco 
■>mMkers  to-da\.  but  among  tin-  tiadi-  as  well.  ilie 
cartridge  is  not  a  new  thing  to  tlu-  h.nglish  sjuoktr.  having  bivn 
III  use  many  years  ago.  but  it  has  ..nly  beni  within  tlu-  last 
twelve  months  that  the  cartri«lge  has  been  revived  to  any 
extent. 

Ibis   change    leads   our   esteemed     I'.ritish     contemporarv, 
"Tobacco."  to  tlu-   toll. .wing  remarks: 

"Xovelties  which  are  only  novelties  do  not  last.  Tliose 
which  remain  popular  havr  <.ther  «|ualities  to  recommend  them 
l)esides  that  of  mere  newness,  from  a  considerable  number  of 
casual  in(|uiries  amoiii^  tobacconists  we  have  elicited  what  is 
now  indeed  sutliciently  obvious,  that  some  smokers  far  prefer 
the  cartri.lge  t.»  the  (»ld  form.  (  Uliers  will  not  h.ive  tlu-m  at  all. 
The  filling  of  the  jnpe  by  cartridge  is  a  neat,  dainty  action,  rc- 
•  juiring.  too,  sonu-  little  'knack.*  which  suits  the  precis^  smoker 
who  is  really  glad  to  havi-  s(.uutliing  new  to  plav  with. 

"  I  he  elimination  ot  the  tobacco  pouch  appeals  to  some, 
though  in  this  connection  cartridge  cases  have  the  serii.us  incon- 
venience that  they  are  not  collaj)sibli'.     A  p<.uch  grows  beanti- 

tully  less  in  bulk  as  the  tobacco  is  used  uj).     A  cartri<lge  tase 

those  we  have  yet  seen— -e.xacts  the  s.iuie  space  in  the  poiket 
whether  it  is  full  or  whether  it  contain^  the  very  last  round  of 
ammunition.  If  uo  one  has  done  it.  it  would  be  worth  while  to 
invent  a  bo.x  which  dis.ippeared  at  the  same  rate  as  the  cart- 
ridges. A  rigid  affair  with  perforations  between  the  partitions 
for  cartridges,  so  that  a  part  of  the  box  cnld  be  broken  olf  with 
each,  suggests  itself:  or  a  telescopic  tube,  the  sections  pushing 
into  each  otlu-r  is  another  conceivable  plan.  There  exist  card- 
board cigar  cases  the  |)riiui|)les  ..f  which  could  be  adopted  to 
pipe  tillers.  Some  such  nutliod  will  have  to  be  found  if  cart- 
ridges are  to  have  the  best  of  the  argimu-iit  as  ag.iiiist  j»ouches." 

'Ihe  .S(.uthbridge.  .Ma->s..  Cigar  C.  .mjiany  have  discontinued 
business  until  their  affairs  can  l)e  straighteiu-d  (.ut.

Unique  Method  of  Advertising  "  Milos." 
A^^X  blue  stationery  with  an  emb<jsse<l  heading  the  Sur- 
V/  J  brug  Company,  of  Xew  York,  have  been  mailing  this 
week  to  the  leading  members  of  Philadelphia's  best 
clubs  a  personal  letter  enclosing  a  box  of  their  "Milo* 
cigarettes.  Among  other  things  the  letter  says:  "  'Milos*  tiK)k 
the  gold  medal  in  l*aris  over  all  cigarettes  made  in  Kurope. 
It's  the  highest  class  cigarette  made.  Its  dainty  aromatic  deli- 
cacy may  appeal  to  you.  Please  compare— side  by  side— with 
any  other  cigarette,  and  if  they  please,  a  favor  will  be  con- 
ferred if.  when  at  your  club,  you  would  always  insist  upon 
Alllos. 

This  personal  bit  of  advertising  is  very  well  done  and  it 
should  bring  some  go(Ml  results. 


Mr.  Fritz  Retires — Changes  in  Old  St.  Louis  Firm. 

lmy|l  I'KITZ.  for  many  years  senior  member  of  M.  I'ritz  & 
ITJ^  Sons  Cigar  and  Tol>acco  Company,  St.  Louis.  Mo.,  re- 
^^H  tired  last  month  by  distributing  his  share  of  $50,000 
stock  in  the  enterprise  among  his  six  sons  and  two 
daughters.  Mr.  I'Vitz  has  been  a  resident  of  St.  Louis  for  more 
than  sixty  years. 

l'l)on  his  retirement  the  following  t)fficers  were  elected : 
William  C.  l^Vitz.  president  and  secretary;  Theodore  J.  Fritz, 
vice-president  and  treasurer;  Kugene  M.  I^Vitz,  second  vice- 
president;  Walter  A.  Fritz,  assistant  treasurer.  The  stock- 
holders consist  of  the  officers  and  Edward  A.  and  Julius  (i. 
Fritz.  Mrs.  J.  W.  Ilannauer  ami  Mrs.  A.  J.  Hezel. 

The  distributing  business  uf  the  firm  will  be  continued  at 
514-516  South  Seventh  street.  William  C.  FVitz  will  be  in 
charge  of  the  headquarters,  while  the  five  brothers  are  in  the 
field  as  traveling  .salesmen. 

Big  Increase  of  Tampa  Shipments. 

Shipment  of  cigars  from  Tampa  this  year,  up  to  the  week 
ending  May  20th,  amounted  to  108,435,000.  This  is  an  increase 
over  the  same  time  last  year  of  18,330,000,  and  shows  that 
Tampa,  in  its  banner  industry,  continues  to  show  a  substantial 
gain  over  the  large  shipments  of  last  year. 

F^or  the  week  ending  May  20th  the  shipments  were  6,235,- 
000,  the  largest  shipment  for  this  year  in  eleven  or  twelve  weeks. 

Importations  of  leaf  from  Havana  continue  heavy  and 
withdrawals  of  tobacco  from  bond  also  show  splendid  record. 
Manufacturers  and  employees  in  the  big  industry  are  very  much 
pleased  with  the  record  of  this  year  thus  far  and  are  certain  that 
Tampa  will  continue  to  show  substantial  gains  ending  the  year 
with  an  appreciable  increase  over  the  shipments  of  last  year. 

It  has  been  the  observation  of  the  leading  Tampans  for 
many  years  past  that  Tampa  always  has  *'g(K)d  times"  when,  in 
the  summer,  cigar  shipments  are  good  and  building  is  brisk.

Pushing  ••44"  and  ••Adion''  Cigars. 

I  A  1^'^^'-  \'^^  <'^'iil  <jf  activity  was  in  evidence  at  the  factorv 
l"^^!  "»'  tJ><^'  44  <^'>gar  Co.  this  week,  and  it  appears  that  the 
B^H  recent  successes  of  several  of  the  factory  rei)resenta- 
tives  made  extra  exertion  necessary.  The  demand 
locally  has  been  strong  and  now  that  trade  is  extending  to  all 
l»arts  of  the  country,  the  factory  facilities,  which  were  very 
greatly  eidarged  on  the  first  of  the  present  year,  are  already 
becoming  taxed. 

The  "44,"  which  has  been  a  leader  with  the  house  in  the 
line  of  nickel  cigars  and  which  has  met  with  a  very  hearty 
reception  wherever  it  has  been  placed,  is  now  being  followed 
by  a  ten-cent  line  of  goods  under  the  title  of  "Adlon."  This 
brand  has  been  on  the  market  for  only  a  short  time  and  only 
offered  in  a  small  territory,  but  the  large  number  of  duplicate 
orders  which  the  introducticjn  of  the  brand  resulted  in  was  so 
encouraging  that  the  brand  is  now  being  introduced  in  general 
with  is  nickel  leader  all  over  the  Central  West,  in  the  South 
and  in  the  blast. 

J'ennsylvania  trade,  too,  is  being  well  taken  care  of  and  is 
now  being  covered  by  Mahlon  A.  Inmk,  who  is  tinding  his 
volume  of  business  larger  with  each  succeeding  trip  he  makes 
through  the  State,  and  it  is  invariable  that  a  number  of  new 
accounts  are  made  during  each  visit. 

It  seems  to  be  the  firm's  determination  that  the  products 
of  the  "44"  factory  shall  be  known  wherever  tive  and  ten-cent 
cigars  are  sold,  and  consecpiently  they  have  recently  dispatched 
one  of  their  well-known  salesmen  on  a  special  trip  which  will 
carry  him  through  to  the  Pacific  c<jast.  O.  L.  Myers,  who  is 
now  covering  the  western  territory,  has  thus  far  sent  in  some 
fme  reports,  which  clearly  indicate  that  "44"  and  ''Adhju" 
cigars  are  being  planted  there  in  good  style. 

From  the  local  hea(l(|uarters  we  learn  that  the  factory  is 
really  oversold  at  present.

Otto  Eisenlohr  Buys  Fine  New  Home. 

#y%1lib:  I'lkCllASr:  by  Mr.  otto  l-.isenlohr.  the  senior 
I  I  niember  of  the  firm  (.f  Otto  i:isenlohr  v\  r.n.s..  makers 
<d  the  popular  -Cinco"  cigars,  of  a  si)acious  stone 
mansion  at  3S1J  Walnut  street.  West  1 'iuladelphia. 
last  week  was  a  very  important  event  in  the  real  estate  market 
of  this  city. 

The  property  was  formerly  owned  by  the  estate  of  An- 
thony j.  Drexel.  an<l  was  among  the  finest  residences  in  the 
West  rhila<lelj)hia  district.  The  consideratit.n  is  said  to  have 
been  in  the  neighborhood  of  Skxmxk).  It  has  a  frontage  of 
105  feet  on  Walnut  street  and  a  depth  of  2(X)  feet,  and  as  s<.on 
as  tlie  extensive  alterations  which  are  planne.l  can  be  completed 
it  will  be  occui)ie(l  by  Mr.  hjsenlohr  as  his  residence. 

The  property  adjoins  the  oM  residence  of  .\nthonv  I. 
Drexel.  the  first  of  that  name,  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Thirty- 
eighth  and  Walnut  streets,  which  was  s«)ld  about  five  years 
ago  for  about  Si(K).(xx).  and  is  now  owned  by  .Mr.  SamuelhVls, 
who  is  also  a  prominent  ijianufacturer  in  tliis  citv.  but  n<.t  in 
the  cigar  trade.

Py^l  past  week  in  IMiiladelphia  calling  on  the  trade.  .Mr.

several  calls  en  route,  landed  in  Xew  York  and  thence  covered 
Xew  luigland.  He  exjjccts  to  t(.uch  at  lialtimore.  Washing-

early  in  July.  .Mthou^h  the  Wolf  factory  is  am».ng  the  new 
ones  in  Key  West,  it  has  been  (|uite  successful.  The  leading 
brands  to-day  are  the  "keva."  ten-cent  clear  Havana;  "Lukos."

Havana  Souvenir  Cigar  on  View. 

UI  TV^  *^  show  case  of  the  cigar  department  of  Acker's 
H^N  Ouality  Shop  there  was  exhibited  last  week  an  inter- 
y^jffgpl  esting  souvenir  of  the  motor  boat  races  from  Thila- 
deli)hia  to  Havana.  It  is  a  cigar  (»btained  by  b'ranklin 
S.  Smith,  a  friend  of  j.  I).  Acker,  who  happi'iied  to  be  in 
Havana  when  a  ban(|uet  was  tendered  the  officers  and  crews 
of  the  various  boats.  At  this  baiKjuet  the  city  officials  of 
Havana  were  present,  and  each  guest  was  presente<l  with  a 
**La  Corona"  cigar  about  ten  inches  long  and  an  inch  thick. 
These  cigars  are  manufactured  by  the  Alvarez  Loi)ez  C'a  and 
the  Americans  who  puffed  them  for  the  first  time  were  filled 
with  curiositv  and  satisfaction. 


Trade  With  the  Retailers. 

|l\SL\l^S!^   with  the  retail  trade  has  not  been  as  brisk 
during  the  j)ast   fortnight  as  could  be  reasonably  ex- 
pected this  time  of  the  year.     Dealers  in  the  central 
section  of  the  city  have  noticed  this  more   fullv  than 
those  in  other  sections. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  at  tliis  season  there  are  usually 
many  transient  peojjle  in  town  on  their  way  to  and  from  sea- 
shore points,  there  should  really  be  a  slightly  noticeable  in- 
crease in  trade,  but  the  weather  conditions  have  thus  far  been 
unfavorable,  and  dealers  are  attributing  the  conditions  to  this 
fact. 

They  are  thoroughly  hopeful,  however,  that  from  this  time 
on  there  will  be  a  steady  improvement. 


The  El  Borita  Selling  Splendidly. 

al.W  tive-cenl  cij^ars  that  have  been  {.ui  ..n  liie  market  in 
recent  years  have  met  with  such  in>tant  siuces^  as  the

time  to  introduce  them  into  much  new  territory. 

The  other  leading  brands  ..f  the  Steij^erwaM  factories  in- 
clude the  "Lavoca."  which  is  made  of  \  uelta  Ab.ijo  tiller  with

the  demand  for  p(»pul;ir-priced  ten  cent  cigars.  It  is  made  of 
Havana  with  .Sumatra  wra|)per. 

Since  the  death  of  |.,hn  Steij^erwald.  the  founder  of  this 
business. -Wilbert  S.  Steward,  his  partner,  h.is  taken  over  .Mr. 
Sleigerwalds  interest  and  to-day  is  m  entire  control  of  its

One  Retailer's  Success. 

|l  1  at  I'iftieth  and  .Market  streets  there  was  recentl\ 
concluded  (|uite  a  campaign  for  supreinac\  in  the 
retail  cigar  trade,  .ind  the  li^-lil  was  waited  between 
Ired.  Horn,  who  had  conducted  a  business  at  ^ojs 
.Market  street  tor  some  years,  and  tlie  I'.  ( '.  S.  Co..  which  some 
months  aj^o  ..pened  a  store  at  the  corner  of  l-'iftieth  and 
.Market  streets. 

I'or  a  sh(Mt  time  the  tij^hl  was  reganled  as  a  rather  fierce 
cnmpetili(.n.  ami  the  Cnitid.  with  all  its  many  advantai.,'es. 
seemed  to  be  getting  the  better  of  it,  but  n(»w  comes  the  an- 
n(»uncement  that  .Mr.  Ib.rn  has  concluded  to  discontinue  the 
manufacture  of  cij^ar-.  and  to  devote  his  time  exclusively  to 
the  retail  business,  fn.m  which  we  must  take  for  granted  that 
he  is  not  by  any  mean-  disc<»urage«l  with  his  present  outlook.

striving  to  make   it   a   record-breaker. 

With  this  idea  in  view.  Hart  rdunienthal.  of  the  firm,  has 
just  started  out  on  a  Western  trip  this  week,  and  he  will  again

Cigar  Production  in  Ninth,   Pa.,  District. 

I    IS  shown  by  the  report  of  tlie  Collector  of   Internal 
Revenue  (.f  the   .Xinth   District   of    IVnisylvania.   that 
the  cigar  production   during   .May,    k^io.   was  consid- 
erably ahead  of  the  previous  month,  as  well  as  of  the 
corres|)on(ling  month  of   !</>>. 

There   were   collected    from    the   sale   of   cigar   stamps   the 
following  sums : 

•^li^y.    ">•<>    $177.(^17.22 

•^lay.  ";<x> i44.5(y).io 

;M>ril.    m;i() if.8,,S(x;.(X) 

The    •i)ro(luction  represented  by  these  figures  w(.uld  be  as 
follows: 

•'^'*\v,    i<;io 59.(X)5.74() 

.May,    HX)9 4S.i(yS.7(X) 

M>i*'I.    I*;*'" 5^).2()().f)7o 

W'hile  the  figures  are  gratifying,  mamifacturers  from  that 
section  complain  that  the  business  represented  bv  it  was  not 
all  evenly  distributed,  but  that  the  great  bulk  of  it  went  to  the 
larger  establishment-  and  that  a  majority  of  the  smaller  facto- 
ries participated  only  to  a  small  extent.  The  fact  that  only  a 
comparatively  few  new  factories  are  being  o|)ened  lately  would 
seem  to  be  another  evidence  that  the  present  time  is  not  gen- 
erally regarded  as  ojjportunc  for  venturing  into  new  enter- 
prises. 

They  Want  More  Scraps. 

r  IS  annoiniced  by  the  .\orth  American  Tobacco  Co.. 
of  o-S-io  (iouverncur  Slip,  .Xew  York,  that  they  are 
always  in  the  luarket  for  more  cigar  scraps,  cuttings, 
etc.  business,  they  say,  has  been  on  the  increase,  and 
re(|uires  a  larger  suj)ply  (»f  goods  of  this  class.  Their  facilities 
liave  been  recently  increased  to  promi)tly  take  care  of  the 
larger  volume  of  business,  which  is  apparently  being  received 
by  them.

ments of  tobacco  being  booked  on  the  I*.  iK-  (  ).  steamers  for 
this  city,  the  ( )livette,  arriving  to-morrow  night,  being  sclie«l- 
uled  to  bring  in  one  of  the  heaviest  shijMiicnt  of  the  year.  The 
fact  that  a  number  of  manufacturers  have  recent Iv  been  to 
Havana  making  purchases  of  leaf  is  evidently  bearing  fruit  in 
the  shipments  noted. 

The  llriskol  Cigar  Co.,  recently  (Mganized  here,  is  grad- 
ually extending  its  business  and  is  jnishing  out  into  the  .South- 
ern J^tates  with  their  brands,

Xew   \ork  a  week  ago  on  the  .Mallorv   Line. 

Juan  (i.  Andre,  f..rmerly  a  leaf  merchant  in  this  city,  died

New   Machine  Shows  Effect  of  Tobacco. 
Detroit  Doctor  Demonstrates  How  Smoking  Acts  on  the  Heart. 

__^_^  •  DirrKoir.   .\lnii..    Iniie   ijth. 

T^j<  )r.  \CC(  )  dealer-  throughout  the  ouiitrv  will  be  in- 
I  terested  in  the  report  of  Dr.  W  .  .M.  Donald  made 
hefore  the  annual  clinic  of  the  Alumni  \sMKiati<.n  of 
Detroit  (  ollcge  of  .Medicine.  t<.  the  etTect  that  by 
ingenii.us  mechanisms,  vivid  action  on  the  blood  and  heart 
could  be  shown  while  j)ersons  were  smoking. 

Dr.  Donald  made  his  experiments  while  the  patient-  were 
puffing  the  weed,  and  he  even  subjected  himself  and  his  as-isi- 
ants  t(»  examinations  while  smoking.  Alth.-ugh  his  e\|.eri- 
ments  illustrated  vividly  the  effect  of  tobacco  on  the  luart.  In- 
let the  results  speak  for  themselves  'a\u\  the  physicians  were 
permitted  to  draw   their  own  conclusions. 

Dr.  Donald  did  say,  however,  that,  while  a  iniM  um  of 
tobacco  may  not  injure  the  smoker,  there  is  1,0  (|uestioii  but 
that  the  excessive  use  will  j)rove  derogatory  to  lu-alth. 

The  peculiarity  <.f  Dr.  Donalds  clinic  o  iisisted  of  the 
method  used  t<»  illustrate  the  etTect  of  tobacco  on  tlu-  heart. 
A  small  device  was  strapped  on  the  wri-t  of  the  smoker,  and 
this  instrument,  by  means  of  a  delicate  needle  which  ni<»ved 
with  the  pulse,  traced  on  sm(.ke<l  |)aper  the  action  of  the  heart. 
When  the  i>atieiit  was  not  smoking,  the  tracerv  was  gen- 
erally a  gently  undulating  line  that  move<l  across  the  smoked 
paper  in  more  or  less  regular  waves.  W  bile  the  patient  smoked 
the  needle  traced  jumping,  irregular  lines;  instead  of  the  move 
ment  of  the  pulse  causing  a  gently  undulating  line,  there  were 
almost  i)erpendicular  and  angular  jumps  in  the  tracings.

Havana,   [uiic  7tli.  n>io. 
I.\(  I".  m\    l;i>t   rijMdt   •M.mc  aiiiinati«iii  has  been  iiotictMl 
ill    thi'    I'artidn   (Hstrict.    wbtTt-   thrii-   arc   about   two 
(|ozi!i  jiackiii^^s  bc'in;,'  ojinatnl  l.y  Havana  b<.us(.'s  and 
about  thr  sanir  nnmbcr  of  so-calk'd  local  j)ackcrs  who 
have  also  started   to  jiack.      Tlurc  arc  jicrliaps   >onic   fanncr> 
packinj^'  their  own  crops.     W  ithin  a   few  weeks  there  ought  to 
be  a  C(»iisiderable  <|nantity  of  new  Partido  in  the  market.     .Still 
there   has    not    been    as   much    niovenient   as   could    have   been 
expected.      The  prices  that   the  growers   want    for  their  crops 
has  curtailed  buying.     .Another  drawback  in  the  Partidos  sec- 
tions which  has  han<Iicap|)ed  packer>  from  working  as  freely  as 
they  (»ught  to  ami  which  has  kept  the  packings  that  have  already 
been  put  in  motion  limite<l  t«>  a  small  out|)ut  has  been  the  con- 
tinued absence  of  "blandma,"  or  nunsture.     A  few  rains  fell  in 
some  secti»»ns  since  my  last  rej)ort.  bnt  imme<liately  afterward 
the  dry.   scorching  hot    weather  set  in   again.      In  the    I'artido 
district  things  are  greatly  delaye<l  this  year,  as  the  crop  there, 
too.  is  a  late  one.  but  in  N'uelta  .\baj(»  and  the  Remedios  dis- 
tricts everything  i>  at   a   standstill,   practically    speaking.      Xo 
bnying  is  heing  done  in  either  to  speak  of.      In  X'uelta  .\bajo 
there  are  two  or  three  packings  under  way  which  are  working 
on   a  ;.mall   scale.       The  crop  there  is  nf  a  heavy  nature  and 
needs  to  remaiti   a   long  time  j)iled  to   take  the  rawness   from 
same.    ( "onse(|uently,  as  the  crop  needs  som  etime  to  cure  before 
it  can  be  packed,  it   is  possible  that   the  bulk  of  the  packings 
will  not  be  started  before  the  end  of  June  or  thereabouts.     The 
Havana  houses  feel  reluctant  to  pack  heavily  this  year  in  V^ielta 
.\bajo.  as  their  experience  in  H)Oj  is  still  green  in  their  memo- 
ries.    There  will  be  very  few   factory  packings  undertaken  by 
theni  this  year  and  a  great  many  growers  will  be  obilged  to 
|)ack  their  tobacco  on  this  account. 

In  Keme(lios  there  seems  to  be  no  hurry  on  the  part  of  the 
Havana  dealers  to  dive  headlong  into  operations  and  the 
exorbitant  |>rices  asked  by  the  farmers  are  keeping  buvcrs 
away  for  a  while  anyhow.  .\  few  operations  that  have  been 
closed  by  j.  liernheim  iS:  Son  and  some  others  were  made  at 
very  high  prices,  so  reports  say.  However,  as  uoIkxIv  has 
commenccil  to  huy  heavily,  it  is  not  known  if  growers  will  be 
cotitented  with  lower  figures.  H  not,  they  will  have  to  pack  a 
large  portion  of  the  Kemetlios  crop  thomselves.  because,  while 
the  avenige  of  higher  grades  is  good  in  this  year's  crop  of 
Keme<lios  tobacco,  it  will  not  stand  such  prices  as  the  growers 
pretend. 

The  leaf  market  has  been  'Somewhat  more  active  than 
usual,  owing  to  the  presence  of  a  considerable  number  of 
buyers.  The  latter  seem  to  C(»me  here  now  mostly  with  the 
intention  of  posting  themselves  alnnit  the  prospects  for  future 
conditi<»ns.  but  invarial)ly  they  have  made  some  purchases  of 
old  tob.icco  .'Mid  also  the  few  lots  that  have  come  in  of  new 
l^irtido  have  been  gobbled  up. 


.Sales  totalled  about  4.j(X)  bales  during  the  fortnight, 
divided  into:  X'uelta  .\bajo.  2.2fX)  bales;  I'artido,  500;  Reme-

The  factories  remain  (|uiet  in  general.  r)rders  are  rather 
scarce  usually  at  this  time  of  the  year,  but  it  seems  that  the 
factories  in  Havana  will  have  to  work  at  a  very  good  rate 
during  the  rest  of  the  year  to  catch  up  with  last  year  in  i)ro(luc- 
tion.  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  last  year  was  perhaps  the  poorest 
record  made  by  the  cigar  industry  for  many  years.  Owing  to 
the  raise  in  the  duties  on  tobacco  in  France,  which  went  into 
etTect  on  the  first  of  this  month,  many  large  orders  were  can- 
celled.

From  present  prospects,  Washington.  \.  C.  bids  fair  t<» 
have  a  first-class  tobacco  market  this  season.  Work  on  the 
large  tobacco  warehouse  on  Pearce  street,  it  is  understo(»d.  will 
begin  shortly,  and  will  be  rapidly  pushed  forward  to  com|)letion 
in  time  for  the  opening  of  the  tobacco  .season.  Washington  and 
vicinity  are  admirably  suited  for  the  cultivation  of  tobacco  from 
a  climatic  standpoint,  as  well  as  the  proper  kind  of  soil. 


The  State  of  Xc^rth  Carolina  recently  oflfertd  for  i)ublic 
subscription  a  bond  issue  to  the  amount  of  S2.25o.(kx).  In- 
vestors seemed  to  fight  shy  of  the  securities,  however,  and 
(juite  a  goodly  portion  of  the  bonds  remaine<l  uns«dd  until  last 
week,  when  the  .\merican  Tobacco  Company  put  in  a  bi<l  for 
the  balance.

factories  which  are  perhaps  the  hardest  hit  juM  now.  an. I  while 
s.,me-  of  the-m  have  heen  kept  ^oin^'  for  a  mimher  of  years,  they 
;;ot  only  the  excess  onlers  as  a  rule,  ami  since  trade  is  not  yet 
lip  to  the-  standard  of  normal,  and  the  main  factories  are  able 
in  most  cases  to  meet  all  re(|uiremeiits.  In  the  meantime,  these

HIS  entire  territory  seems  to  be   fully  participating  in 
a    much    larger   volume   of   business   and    trade   with 
local  retailers  is  also  showing  a  stea<ly  gain. 

The  new  addition  to  the  l-'-isenlohr  factory  is  now- 
well  nigh  c<»mpleted.  and  will  likely  be  ready  for  occupancy 
within  another  fortnight.  This  will  more  than  double  the 
present  capacity  of  the  factory,  and  yet.  we  learn,  this  well- 
known  firm  is  still  branching  <»ut  in  other  directions  as  well, 
showing  that  their  business  is  making  tremendous  gains. 

The  body  of  the  late  .M.  Steppacher.  cigar  manufacturer

Keading. 

It  api)ears  that  Mr.  Stepi)acher.  at  the-  time  of  his  sud-

stricken  ill  he  telegraj)hc-<l  a  relative  in  ( iermany,  who  after-

In  an  interview  with  Walter  l^teppacher.  a  son  of  M.

Dktkoit.  Mie  II..  June  12th. 
lClll(i.\N  tobacco  factories,  and  Detroit  factories  es-

as  nuich  stock  as  possible  before  the  first  of  next 
month.  At  that  time  the  new  license  tax  on  tobacce) 
goes  into  etYect  on  all  tobacco  mamifactured  after  tT.at  date. 
'The  (litTerent  cigar  factories  are  also  jjutling  out  large  (|uan- 
tities  and  are  shipping  almost  as  fast  as  they  are  made.  No 
difficulty  with  the  ditYerent  railroads  over  transportation  facil- 
ities are  experienced  and  for  the  first  time  in  weeks,  or  even 
months,  roads  are  dispatching  consignments  with  pro|)er  care 
and  order. 

James  Trahill.  proprietor  of  a  cigar  store  at  32(>  JetYevson 
avenue,  was  found  dead  in  bed  recently  and  s|)ots  of  bl<M)d  im 
the  bed  clothing  aroused  the  susi)icions  of  the  j)olice.  A  i)ass-

Charles  Meldrum  was  tried  in  Justice  Court  a  tew  days 
ag(^  for  illegally  using  the  labels  of  the  cigarmakers*  union. 
'Tlie  testinionv  showed  that  Meldrum  sells  a  brand  of  union- 
made  cigars  from  Pennsylvania,  but  is  not  permitted  himself 
to  affix  the  union  label  to  the  boxes  because  he  is  on  the  mi  fair 
list.  He  bought  the  cigars  when  he  was  in  good  standing  with 
the  union  and  had  (juite  a  supply  on  hand.  He  contiiuied  to 
use  them  until  the  stock  was  exhausted.  'The  contention  of  the 
prosecution  was  that  the  miiuite  he  and  the  union  disagreed  he 
had  no  further  right  to  use  the  union  label.

Tobacco  Cultivation  in  Canada. 

It  has  now  heen  fairly  well  dem<»nstrated  that  tohacco  of 
a  verv  tine  «|uality  can  he  grown  in  Canada.  The  Canadian 
climate  seems  to  he  suitahle  for  the  growing  of  a  good  many 
varieties  of  the  wee<l.  It  is  reported  at  (  )ttawa  that  a  very 
large  proportion  of  the  cigars  consumed  in  Canada  are  made  in 
the  Dominion  and  of  Canadian  tohacco.  The  area  under 
tohacco  cultivation  is  gradually  ext<'n(ling  and  the  (|uality 
raj)idly  improving. 

Tobacco  Trade  In  India. 

Recent  rei)orts  from  India  indicate  that  the  tobacco  trade 
there  seems  absolutely  at  a  standstill  as  a  result  of  the  new- 
duties.  In  the  cheap  lines  nothing  whatever  is  doing,  and  all 
imports  are  in  bond,  as  buyers  will  not  pay  the  excess  duty. 
Twentv  cases  ex-bond  were  put  up  for  auction  recently  and  no 
one  would  buy.  .Ml  buyers  are  holding  ofT  in  the  hopes  of  the 
( iovernment  reducing  the  duty  or  prices  falling.  The  duty  has 
alreadv  had  a  bad  effect  on  the  .\merican  tra<le.

New  Stores  Opening  in  San  Francisco. 

Retaul  and  Wholesale  Trade  Shows  Improvement. 

Sax  Fr.wcisco,  June  8th. 

TiHIXCiS  seem  to  be  getting  m«)re  lively  in  the  San 
I  I'Vancisco  retail  trade  ami  the  jobbers  are  doing  more 
local  business  than  for  some  time.  The  weather  has 
been  al)out  ideal  recently  and  the  smokers  seem  to 
have  been  out  in  strong  force.  Dealers  are  showing  a  little 
more  life,  too,  in  the  matter  (►f  being  on  the  lookout  for  new 
stands  and  new  ideas  for  old  ones.  Two  or  three  changes  of 
importance  have  been  brought  about,  and.  notwithstanding  the 
approach  of  the  vacation  season,  when  things  are  expected  to 
ease  off  a  bit,  everybotly  seems  to  be  looking  forward  to  a  few- 
weeks  at  least  of  genuine  giMxl  business. 

Some  nice  stt>res  are  gradually  making  their  appearance 
further  down  town  and  as  soon  as  the  great  number  of  new 
buildings  now  going  up  on  Market  street  begin  to  approach 
completion,  there  will  probably  be  some  keen  competition  for 
the  choice  corners.  There  is  still  some  hesitancy  about  run- 
ning the  price  on  choice  corners  too  high,  an<l,  on  the  other 
hand,  proi)erty  owners  are  afraid  of  letting  them  go  t(X)  cheap. 
The  trouble  is  that  nolxxly  knows  for  certain  whether  the  labor 
union  city  administration  will  restore  the  slot  machines  to  the 
trade  or  not.  The  general  feeling  is  that  the  slot  machines 
will  sooner  or  later  come  back,  but  dealers  <lo  n«^t  feel  safe  in 
boosting  the  rent  of  desirable  corners  to  a  jxtint  where  they 
would  only  be  profitable  with  the  free  operation  of  the  old- 
time  machines. 

The  new  wholesale  an<l  retail  store  of  11.  r.erc«»vich,  at  i^o 
Front  street,  promises  to  be  a  mo«lel  of  its  kind.  This  is  the 
store  formerly  occupied  by  the  American-. Manila  Cigar  Com- 
pany and  by  the  I5ou(iuet-Kohn  Cigar  Company,  recently  dis- 
solved. It  is  a  large  place  with  an  attractive  front  for  retail 
purposes  and  fine  large  rooms  in  the  rear  for  the  wholesale 
departments. 

Henry  I'osner.  formerly  one  of  the  stnuig  men  with  Kas- 
ser  Brothers,  has  bought  the  handsome  "(  hiyx"  stand  in  front 
of  Shaw's  Cafe  on  California  street.  This  place  was  formerly 
operated  by  Kasser  lirothers,  and  Mr.  Posner  knows  the  trade 

he  has  to  serve. 

Alfred  h:sberg,  of  M.  A.  (iunst  &  Co.,  has  returned  from 
the  East  and  is  once  more  getting  in  touch  with  the  company's 
local  business.  He  says  that  the  store  recently  opene«l  by  the 
company  in  New  York  is  making  a  good  start  an<l  that  he  is 
confideiit  it  will  be  more  than  a  success. 

Sol  Arkush.  traveling  representative  of  the  Martinez- 
Havana  Companv,  came  uj)  from  the  South  last  week  after  a 
short  Slav  with  the  L<»s  .\ngeles  trade.  He  is  now  laying  plans 
with  H.'l'.ercovich  and  his  force  for  the  spread  of  the  Louis 
Martinez  habit  in  this  territ.»ry.  At  present,  he  is  visiting  some 
of  the  nearbv  counties  with  Frank  Levy,  one  of  Mr.  I'.erco- 
vich's  salesmen.  He  and  Mr.  I'.ercovich  will  probably  pay  a 
visit  to  some  of  the  leading  dealers  in  the  country  towns.  Mr 
Arkush  appears  to  be  well  pleased  with  the  outl.x.k  here  and 
particularlv  with  the  new  store  of  .Mr.  liercovich.  which  will 
be  the  distributing  headciuarters   for  the  ''Louis  Martinez     in 

this  territory.  ,  ,  .     r  .      t    •     »

taking  some  nice  orders.

The  first  steamers  for  the  Alaskan  gold  fields  left  here 
last  week  and  carried  some  good  shipments  of  cij.;ars  to  the

run  large  this  summer.  Initial  shipment-  have  been  larger
