Tho tobacco situation Is a very serl- fus one for the cigar manufacturers at llie present lime. Havana tobacco is scarce and very high.

Sumatra tobacco, used for wrajv l»r pui'ijoses, is W% higher Ihan in V.AW. Ojimecticut and Wisconsin bjiders are 50% higher. In fare of all this, Ihe price of lOc. cigars lia.s not advanced lo tho dealer, simply lH\.'ause the nianufacturei-s aro d pack of fools, each one afraid of the otticr.

When did you ever .see a smoker walk out of a store unserved because he called for a "Pharaoh," or any other brand, and w<;s offered "something just as good." There have been a few small failures amongst the manufaclurei-s, and nioro will likely follow, depending on how long their reserve will hold out. A g.Mid lOe. cigar actually costs tho manufacturer $8.00 per thousand more than in t9()i.
