very difficult to distrubute evenly. A convenient way of sowing
is to stir a tablespoon ful of seed into a two-gallon sprinkling
can full of water, and then sprinkle the water evenly upon the
bed. .\n even tablespoon ful of seed will sow about one square
rod.
Tn the Clinton-Lycoming district many growers mix the
seed with a convenient quantity of dry wood ashes to make a
bulky mixture and then sow the mixture.
As soon as the seed is sown the muslin covering is stretched
over the bed and is removed only to water the soil and to pull
the weeds. In dry weather it is necessary that the beds be
watered at least three or four times a week. Care must be
taken that too much water is not used, since excessive moisture
tends to favor various fungus diseases.
Preparing the Soil.
In order to retain the soil moisture, the tobacco land is
plowed early and an occasional harrowing given it up to the
planting time. Before planting it is cultivated thoroughly, so
as to make the soil as loose and mellow as possible. Stable
matuu-e is the chief fertilizer, horse manure being considered
especially valuable, and this is sometimes plowed under and
sometimes applied on top. The Clinton County growers state
that since they have discontinued the use of cow manure and
have used only horse manure their percentage of "calicoed"
tobacco has been less. A common dressing is lo loads per
acre. The use of commercial fertilizers is increasing, but they
are not used as extensively as in Connecticut. Formerly the
commercial tobacco fertilizers oflfered contained potash in the
fomi of chlorid, with the resultant danger of injuring the burn
of the cigar. Now, however, the sulphate is used and some-
times the carbonate. Tobacco stems are frequently bought
from the manufacturers and used as a fertilizer.
After the plants have grown to the height of 5 to 6 inches
and have developed from 5 to 7 leaves, they have reached a
desirable stage for planting. Before the plants are pulled from
the seed beds they should be thoroughly watered, in order that
the small roots may not be torn off and that as much soil as
possible may adhere to them.

Production of Cigar Leaf in Pennsylvania.

no value. VVhitevein, which may appear later in the curing, is a
white mold which attacks not only the midrib of the leaf, but
also the adjacent web and causes it to become tender and rotten.
The spores of this disease remain in the dust and trash of the
curing shed, but they can be almost entirely overcome by
cleanmg and fumigating the shed before harvest.
Finally, the tobacco in the case is often attacked by molds
which make it musty and by black-rot, the cause of which is
not thoroughly known. The black-rot, as its name implies, is
the cause of masses of leaf in the interior of the case turning
black and becoming tender, so that the leaves are unavoidably
torn in the handling. While musty tobacco unfavorably affects
the flavor and aroma of the cigar, it is a matter of general
observation that the cigars from tobacco affected by black-rot
often possess a peculiarly pleasant aroma.
Care in preventing the harvesting of green tobacco, the
development of mold during the curing, the packing of tobacco
when it is in too "high case" excessively moist and its over-
heating are the only means of prevention now known for the
foes here considered.
Cultural Methods Deserving Special Consideration by
THE Tobacco Growers of Pennsylvania.
(i) The use of catch crops, such as wheat, rye, or sand
vetch, after corn or between succeeding crops of tobacco, to
keep the soil in a spongy, fertile condition.
(2) The separation by blowing in an appropriate appa-
ratus of all tobacco seed, so that the light seed, which is gen-
erally worthless and productive of weak plants, if
at all, shall be wholly removed.
(3) The testing of the heavy seed obtained by blowing
by a preliminary germination. This is especially desirable
when old seed is to be used or that which has been harvested,
as is sometimes necessary, before it has completely ripened in
the pod. Concerning old seed, it may be remarked that the
vitalityof some individual tobacco seeds of many years" dura-
tion, a fact of much importance where it is desired to return
to the original characters of a strain or where seasonal condi-
tions have for several years been unfavorable to the best de-
velopment of the corresponding seed crops. Long keeping
lowers the vitality of the average seed, however, and the use
of seed of uncertain vitality may risk the entire season's work.
(4) The
careful selection of seed plants. This is of the
greatest importance. Tobacco self- fertilizes for years without
apparent loss of vigor. Cross- fertilization may be prevented
by fastening a bag of stout paper over the flower head before
the blossoms open, without injury to the seed pods, if the bags
are perforated with fine openings so as to secure ventilation.
The bags can readily be perforated by means of an ordi-
nary sewing machine, no thread being used in the needle.
The seed from self- fertilized plants produce offspring of
remarkable uniformity and similarity to the parent plant.
Propagation from the seed of carefully selected, self-ferti-
lized plants is a highly valuable means, therefore, of secur-
ing uniform plants of the most desirable quality represented
in the crop from which the selection is made. It is clear
also that lack of care in the selection of seed plants, whether
they are self-fertilized or not, will probably result in the
maintaining of an inferior strain of the variety chosen for
cultivation.
By careful selection
has been found possible to limit the
it
propagation to the plants most vigorous in growth, most highly
resistant to the fungous diseases that appear in the field, hav-
ing the least tendency to wasteful suckering, and of the most
desirable form.
THE TOBACCO WORLX)
Death of Prominent Tobacco Grower.
T HEdeath of Norman S. Brewer, at his home
in East
Hartford, Conn., was announced some few days ago.
The deceased was widely known as a tobacco raiser
^^^ in the Connecticut Valley, and his farm seemed so well
adapted to this purpose that the United States Department of
Agriculture has conducted for several years past experiments
in tobacco cultivation on his farm. He was a life-long resident
of Connecticut and born at Hockanum in 1840. He is survived
by a widow and three children.
The Water street. New
York, leaf section has again suf-
fered the loss of one of its most prominent members.
Mr.
Edward Arendt, of Edward Arendt & Sons, at 151 Water
street. New York, died at his home, 42 West 126th street, on
December 20th.
At an early age, Mr. Arendt, who was born in Germany,
came to this country, and for a number of years was conduct-
ing business in Cincinnati.
About twenty years ago he re-
moved to New York, where he formed the tobacco leaf com-
pany, Arendt & Fringant, which firm dissolved some years ago,
and since that time business was continued under the above
firm name. He was seventy-four years of age.

Sanuiel S. Lavey, who was for many years one of the
leading cigar merchants of Toledo, Ohio, after an illness of
one year, died recently at St. Vincent's Hospital at the age of
seventy. Mr. Lavey was for twenty years prominent in the trade
in that city, and is. survived by two sons, Carl and Bert Lavey,
both of whom were associated with him in business. The
business will undoubtedly be continued by the sons.
Jacob Meyers, formerly a well-known cigarist of Bam-
berg, Conn., died recently in New York City, after a long ill-
ness caused by paralysis. After retiring from the cigar busi-
ness at Bamberg, he removed to South Norwalk and entered
the employ of the Old Well Cigar Company of that place and
subsequently became a member of the firm.
Mr. Meyers

Charles E. Ball, a prominent resident of Springfield, Alass,,
and connected with many enterprises, among which was the
National Cigar Stands Company, died at his home in that city
on the third instant after a few weeks'
illness, at the
fifty-eight years.
Henry Schmidt, a cigar manufacturer at 260 Court
Brooklyn, N. Y. died on December 21st, in his seventy-first
year. His only relative, a brother, William, died on the previous
Friday. He had been in business for thirty years at his pres-
ent address.
George W.Harrington, for thirty years proprietor of a
cigar store in the Ebbitt House, and one of the oldest residents
of Washington, D. C, died recently at his home in that city.
He is survived by a widow, one son and three dauthers.
By the death of Geo. M. Foley, Kansas City has lost one
of its pioneer cigar manufacturers. Mr. Foley has been a
resident of Kansas City for the past thirty years having come
from Foil (hi Lac, Wisconsin. He is survived by

which was followed by a banquet. The following

Wm. Levy, who is the head of the latest enterprise in
Lancaster to engage in the leaf tobacco trade, was elected a
member of this board.
The Lancaster board also has an auxiliary organization,
but which is a duly incorporated body and is known as the
Lancaster Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade Inspection Co. It
is usual to hold a meeting of this organization immediately
after the annual meeting of the Leaf Board, but in this instance
it was postponed for a month owing to the
banquet which was
to follow the meeting.
After the close of the business meeting, the members all
proceeded to the Breneman Building, on Duke street, where
covers had been laid for more than sixty persons, and a sump-
tuous dinner was served. This was following by the usual
speech making, during which President Weaver presided as
toastmaster.

sold direct for Messrs. Josephson Brothers, New York, by their rep-

made many friends for this cigar.

John R. Nye, who for the greater part of 1910 was incapacitated
by illness, left a few days ago for Minneapolis. For the next six
months he will work between that point and Great Falls, Mont., for
the "Royal Banner."
Isidore Solomon, old-time cigar manufacturer, died at his residence
on Napoleon street and was buried on the 9th inst. under the auspices
of Pisgah Lodge, No. 34, I. O. B. B. For a number of years he had
been in the employ of the Detroit Cigar Manufacturing Company.
Reports to stockholders at the annual meeting of Scotten-Dillon
Co. showed net profits for 1910 something over $300,000, of which
$200,000 was paid out to stockholders and the balance added to surplus,
making a total surplus of $900,000. The company paid over $900,000 to
the Internal Revenue office last year. The regular semi-annual divi-
dend of four per cent, was declared and an extra sixteen per cent. The
total dividends paid for 1910 amount to forty per cent. The shares
are par at $10, but bid about $80. Edward C. Way was re-elected
president of the company.

H THE TOBACCO WORLD
By W. W. Garner, Tobacco Investigator for the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry, given at a Public Meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture, Northampton, Mass.

values of which are so dependent on the painstaking
care, skill and good judgment of the producer. Of the various
factors entering into the successful production of a superior
quality of tobacco, none is more important than the proper
management of the curing process but, unfortunately, this pro-
cess is also the feature which is least understood either from the
scientificor the practical standpoint.
Because of the increasing interest in the method of harvest-
ing tobacco by picking the leaves which introduces new prob-
lems in curing, it would seem that this subject is worthy of
special study, both by the scientific investigator and by the
practical grower, and I shall endeavor briefly to outline some
of the important factors in successful curing and to draw some
comparison between the methods of curing on the stalk and
curing the picked leaves.
We have to consider at the outset the question of what
curing really means. The leaf at the time of harvesting con-
tains a large amount of water, but it is evident that the curing
is something more than drying, for a leaf dried out rapidly by
heat has few of the desirable properties of a well cured leaf.
Again, a leaf dried under the right conditions for curing weighs
much less than would the same leaf if dried out quickly. Cur-
ing, therefore, means the development of certain properties or
qualities which the green leaf does not possess and also a loss
in weight in the dry leaf in addition to the loss of water.
Now in order to understand something of the changes
which take place in curing, it is necessary to consider for a
moment the plant as it matures and ripens in the field. The
leaf may be considered the factory in which is manufactured
from the raw materials absorbed from the air and soil the
food supply which enables the plant to grow, to "ripen" as we
say, and to produce seed. The energy to operate this factory,
so to speak, comes from the sunlight, and during the day,
especially on sunshiny days, the food supply accumulates in
the leaf. During the night, however, the building up of
food stops and the accumulated food supply, excepting of
course such as is required for the leaf itself, is carried away
to other parts of the plant, such as the very young parts and the
seed head. This explains why topping and suckering cause the
leaf to spread and to take on more body for, the seed head
and suckers being removed, the food materials collect in the
leaf in greater quantity. One important feature of ripening,
therefore, is the accumulation in the leaf of certain food ma-
terial which it has built up. These materials are chieflv
of a starchy nature and tend to make the leaf brit-
tle and more or less woody or strawy. must remem- We
ber moreover, that plants must breathe or respire the
same as do animals, and this breathing or respiration process

if a green leaf be exposed to chloroform vapors for a short
while, which quickly kills it. the leaf can never be cured
successfully. The same is true of a bruised leaf, and we
brought at once to the very important fact that curing is a
living or vital process and that leaves prematurely killed can-
not be successfully cured. The changes taking place in the
leaf in the barn are strictly analogous to those of curing in the
growing plant in the field. The leaves of course cease to grow,
but the breathing or respiration process continues until they
die from starvation or lack of water. Cut off from their supply
of raw material, they cannot continue to manufacture additional
food and to maintain the vital processes. They use up the re-
serve supply stored up during the ripening period in precisely
the same manner as an animal may live for many days without
food, though losing in weight, because the reserve food supply
in the tissues is utilized in maintaining life. In brief, there-
fore, curing is a vital or living process whereby certain con-
stituents of the leaf, such as starch, which tend to make it
brittle and chaffy, are broken up and certain other desirable
constituents such as the so-called "gum" are correspondingly
increased in amount. Along with these changes in composi-
tion the color changes from green to yellow, and this shows that
the leaf has reached the dying stage. As soon as the leaf is
dead, the brown color quickly appears, and though there are
some further changes after the leaf dies, these can take place
at almost any stage while the tobacco is in bulk or during
the sweating and aging.
The Most Favorable Conditions for Curing.
The most important fact to keep in mind here is
the leaf must be kept alive till the first stage of the cur-
ing is completed, i. e., till the yellowing begins, and this
brings us to the question of the most favorable conditions
for curing. The first change to be noticed in the leaf is
wilting, caused by the loss of water. This wilting hastens
the curing and is desirable, provided it does not go too far.
Rapid drying kills the leaf before there is time for the
changes already discussed to take place, and the result is
that the tobacco "hays down." Gradual and not rapid dry-
ing is, therefore, one of the favorable conditions for curing.
The leaf is also killed by extremes of temperature, so that
heat, if used at all, must be applied with caution, and the
temperature should not be allowed to exceed no degrees
Fahrenheit at most. The green leaf is killed at freezing tem-

know how injurious cold and northwest winds are to to-
bacco in the curing barn, and this is because the tem-

is evaporated from the tobacco too rapidly.

Pole Sweat.
The importance of not allowing tobacco to dry out too
rapidly during the yellowing period has been emphasized
that
but, on the other hand, growers well know what happens in
prolonged periods of warm wet weather if the tobacco has
already yellowed. The disease known as pole sweat is
merely a decay of the dead leaf and is caused by lower
organisms, so-called "germs," which find in the leaf their
food supply. Like the* tobacco plant itself, these organisms,
which are really minute plants, must have an abundance of
moisture to grow rapidly, and they flourish only within
certain limits of temperature. Our experiments have showa
that pole sweat becomes serious when the relative humidity
of the air between the curing leaves reaches 90 per cent, or
more, causing them to become soggy, and when the tem-
perature lies between 60 degrees and 100 degrees Fahren-
heit. After the disease has gained a foothold, a much lower
humidity or greater extremes of temperature are required
to check it promptly. It is important to remember, how-
ever, that pole sweat does not set in till the first and princi-
pal stage of the curing has been completed, which is ordi-
narily indicated by the yellowing of the leaf, for only the
dead portions of the leaf are attacked. One of the common
forerunners of pole sweat is the so-called "strut" of the leaf
which is a stiffening of the veins and midrib caused by the
excessive moisture in the air having checked the evapora-
tion from the leaf. The strut or stiffening indicates danger
from sweat, but really does not play any part in the develop-
ment of the disease, although it does injure the tobacco. It
lb simply a sign of too much moisture.
Successful curing requires certain conditions of tem-
perature and moisture to enable the leaf to actually cure
instead of simply drying out on the one hand, and to prevent
loss of pole sweat, on the other hand. The practical ques-
tion IS as to how these conditions can
be maintained in the
barn independently of the outside weather.
Use of Artificial Heat.
The natural temperatures prevailing during the cur-
">g season are never too high for good curing, and of course
15

they are never so high as to prevent pole sweat. On the
other hand, it often happens that it is too cold for satis-
factory curing, especially at nighis, and when the crop is
harvested late, so that even if the pole sweat is temporarily
checked, the tobacco may be spoiled by haying down. Arti-
ficial heat is therefore, the only means of securing at all
times the right temperature. The moisture required for
good curing is contained in the tobacco itself, and if the
outside weather is favorable the rate of drying can usually
be controlled by ventilation. If the temperature is favor-
able but the air too dry, the remedy is to close the barn
tightly so as to hold the right amount of moisture in the
air within. In case of long periods of rain, fog or muggy
weather, ventilation alone cannot be of any benefit. The
tobacco will rot if it has reached the critical stage whether
the barn be kept opened or closed. The only means of re-
ducing the moisture in the barn is by using artificial heat
combined with ventilation. In the first stage of the curing,
before the leaf begins to yellow, there is no danger from
pole sweat, but if the outside temperature is below 50 de-
grees, sufficient heat is needed to prevent the tobacco from
becoming chilled; otherwise it will hay down. Unless the
outside weather is very damp, little or no ventilation is
needed. The tobacco in this stage will not give off its
moisture any faster than it is removed from the surround-
ing air. After the leaf has yellowed, however, the moisture
comes to the surface whether or not it is taken up by the

practical means of drying the air in the barn is by heating
it, and the only way of keeping it dry is to replace it by
freshly heated air from the outside as soon as it becomes too
moist. In other words, the air must be heated before it
comes in contact with the tobacco, and it must be removed
as soon as it becomes moist.
If we temperature 20 degrees, we double the
raise the
capacity for holding moisture, and if the temperature in the
barn can be kept 15 degrees to 20 degrees higher than that
of the outside air with a reasonable amount of ventilation,
there is no danger of pole sweat, no matter how wet the out-
side weather may be. Warm air is of course lighter than
cold air and, surprising as it may seem, moist air is lighter
than dry air of the same temperature. For these reasons the
national course is to admit the outside air at the bottom of
the barn, heat it to the proper temperature and allow it to
move upwards through the tobacco. Sufficient heat must
be applied to drive the air through the tobacco fast enough
to prevent its coming chilled, otherwise it will stagnate be-
fore reaching the top of the barn. Too little heat is worse
than none, for it simply drives the moisture from the lower

The Interior ot the Retail Cigar Store.
Arrangement and Appearances Which Are Helpful.
_ EARLY every retail cigarist knows
the importance
1^ of a good location and what an asset a neat and
attractive store really is. This lesson has been
taught in a great measure by the invasion of the
"United." To try to make a store pay when the location
t)f the store and the interior arrangements are not what
they should be is the height of folly. An attractive window
entices a passerby and it is an inviting interior which
brings a customer the second time and converts him into a
regular patron. The deportment and efficiency of the men
behind the counter may leave nothing to be desired in that
respect, but unless both the store and its general interior
is attractively set forth there is not that power of impress-
ing a customer back again.
The chief object in arranging a cigar store is to facili-
tate the work of conducting the establishment and thus
make a saving of both time and money. Therefore, if the
interior arrangement is pleasing to the eye it may necessi-
tate more energy to keep thing in order, but the expense
of running a business is lessened.
Points for Manacjkks and Clkrks.
Not only the manager but all employed
should know the exact hjcation of the stock. This should
be learned so thoroughly that a manager or any one con-
nected about the store is able to place a hand on any brand
of cigars or package goods asked for without the slightest
hesitation. Few more unfavorable impression
things create a
in the mind of the average customer than to have a man
behind the counter start out on a searching expedition among
the shelves and under the counter for some particular article
that is asked for, though it may not be an every-day staple.
It means much to the reputation of the cigarist, if a custo-
mer may walk in and call for something little out of the
ordinary and then walk out with the article asked for with-
out any delay. The cigar store that is so stocked that
every clerk can immediately place his hand on anything in
the store has a marked advantage over the clerk in the
store where all hands have to stop and think before they
can deliver a pack of little cigars of little repute.

FTER a successful retail business of more than live
years standing, O. H. Porter, at 326 Market street,
Longansport, Ind., some months ago conceived the
greater possibilities in the jobbing and
idea of
wholesale trade and he began operations in a modest way.
Satisfactory results followed the enterprise so quickly that
he is now enlarging his field of operation and recently
leased the second floor above his retail store and is now
engaging in the wholesale business in real earnest. He has
already put on a salesman in soliciting outside trade and
good prospects for a big year's business are before him.
The jobbing department has proven a valuable adjunct
to the retail department because it enables him at all times
to carry a good stock of smokers' supplies from which he
can draw for his retail department. A
big humidor has
been with a capacity for storing thousands of
installed,
cigars and to keep them in hrst -class condition. It IS
already one of the most popular places in Longansport.

I believe that artiticial heat will be used more and more as
its advantages are more fully recognized, especially in cur-
ing picked tobacco.
Harvesting by Cutting the Pl.vnt \'ersus Picking the
Leaves.
This brings us to the last topic for discussion, a com-
parison of the methods of harvesting and curing by cutting
the plant and by picking the leaves. We will not attempt to
discuss at this time the economic phases of the question,
such as the relative cost of the two methods and the labor
supply, but will consider briefly the merits of the two pro-
cesses as regards yield and quality of the cured leaf. There
is no doubt that it costs more to harvest by picking the
leaves, and the important question is whether the increased
value of the crop is sut^cient to justify the use of the method.
We have found by careful tests that a leaf cured by pick-
ing will weigh 10 to 15 per cent, more than when cured
on the stalk. There is no doubt of this fact, and the rea-
son is easily explained. Jt has already been pointed out
that while the plant is growing in the held a portion of
the food supply manufactured in the leaf is carried into the
stalk to feed other portions of the plant and exactly the
same thing happens in the curing barn. Every grower
knows that while the leaves of the cut plant soon die and
cure down, the stalk remains green for weeks and e\ en
months. It is also a familiar fact that the young suckers
on the plant may grow considerably in the barn. The
stalk and suckers continue to live because they draw^ food
from the dying leaves. 1 have often heard expressed the
opinion that the leaf draws from the stalk, but this would
be a case of the dead feeding on the living, which is not
nature's way of proceeding. It has also been found that if
suckers are allowed to remain on the stalk when harvested,
the cured leaf will be lighter than when the suckers arc re-
moved, and this is because the suckers draw food from the
nature leaves through the stalk. We see, then, that there
is a clear gain of 10 or 15 per cent, in cured weight when
tobacco is picked, and this means of course that the leaf
has more body. This may or may not be desirable, de-
pending on the condition of the tobacco when harvested,
and, in my opinion, picking will give better results with
what may be called a wet-weather crop than one grown
during a dry season. If tobacco grown in a dry year is
picked, it may be too heavy when cured. This is one reason
why picking gives good results with shade-grown tobacco
for the leaf is naturally thin, and curing on the stalk might
give a product without sufficient body.
As regards quality, there is no doubt but that picked
tobacco cures down with dillerent properties Ironi uiai
cured on the stalk, and it is for the trade to say wliether
the leaf is better suited to their needs. In general appear-
ance, the picked tobacco as it comes from the barn is less
aitraclive than when stalk cured, it undoubtedly has more
(J tlie so-called "gum," giving it greater elasticity, while the
grain is generally not so prominent. The most important
remaining diti'erence is in the colors obtained. These are
usually ot a duller cast, containing a greater proportion of
green, thus resembling somewhat Cuban tobacco. The
\alue of a tobacco crop depends not only on the total weight
ol.tained and the quality of the dillerent grades, but also
on the percentage of hrst-class wrappers, and there is no
dt)ubl l)ut that picking yields a larger percentage of wrap-
pers than stalk curing. Again, the actual number of cured
Raves obtained by picking is increased in addition to the
increase in body, and, in tact, our experiments with broad-
leaf during the past season indicate that the total increase
m cured weight under practical working conditions amounts
10 about 20 per cent.
As to the curing of picked tobacco, the process is of
course much more rapid than is stalk curing and, con-
s(.'(|uently, less complete. The leaf proper cures quickly,
but the stem remains green for a considerably longer time.
11 picked tobacco is to be valued more highly by the trade,
it will probably be due to the increased amount of gum and
elasticity and to the colors obtained. The question of the
etlect of artiticial heat on the colors of picked tobacco is
one of great importance, and 1 am of the opinion that heat
properly applied will give more desirable colors. As re-
gards pole sweat, while the period of danger is shorter,
we have found that i)icke(l tobacco will sweat more readily
than that cured on the stalk, so that it must be closely
watched even if the weather does not indicate danger from
this cause. Judging from our experience this past season,
it is doubtful whether picked broadleaf can be cured suc-
However, the whole sub-

ject of curing picked tobacco (except shade grown) is still
largely in the experimental stage, and much yet remains
to be done before tinal conclusions can be drawn.

failed to secure any satisfactory responses and they were
compelled to take legal proceedings, with the result that the

What's Doing in the Busy Detroit Market.
How the Retail District Could be Improved Story
Cigar that Failed.
Detroit, February lO, 1911.
HOOT a gun up Woodward avenue from Grand Cir-
cus Park, you'll hardly miss a cigar stand within
three blocks. This isn't a choice retail district yet
by any means, but is gradually gaining in character.
Old buildings are being remodelled and rentals are climbing.
There are fifteen cigar stands between Adams avenue and
Montcalm street, all handicapped by poor display and want of
up-to-date equipment.
Bertram Bros., druggists, have good window space, which
could be used effectively for cigar display. They have a good
Hotel Gorman stand, at Elizabeth and Wood-
line of smokes.
ward avenues enjoys a favorable patronage and feature "La
Azora," "Vicora" and "Havana Ymperial."
Joseph Orban, on the opposite corner, hasn't much space,
but contrives to carry some pretty good brands, "First Con-
sul," "Preferencia" and "La Azora" lead in 10 cent lines; and
"San Felice," "Cinco" and "El Toro" (P. R.) at 5 cents.
Also reports quite a sale of Jno. E. Doherty's "La Comus," a
broadleaf wrap 10 cents, which he recently put in. At the
time of my visit T. J. Rooney, Michigan, retail man of A. T.
Co., was adding Orban's window to a number of others about
town in which he has put some striking displays of "Turkey
Red"
cigarettes.
Charles Coombs, 295 Woodward avenue, carries an ex-
cellent line, not only in cigars, but likewise all manner cigar-
ettes and smokings, etc. Has been there many years, is well
known and highly regarded.
J. C. Reedy, 304 Woodward avenue, operates in connec-
tion with ixjol and billiard room, which possibly stimulates the
sale of cigarettes. "Fatima," "Egyptian Deities" and "Moguls"
seem to have the call, L. D. Stanley, manager for Mr. Reedy,
informs me they sell great quantities. "Baron DeKalb" and
"Pinzon" lead Havanas, with "Royal Banner," "Tom
in
Moore" and "Robt. Burns" in seed and Havana, and "La
Azora," a strong favorite in broad feaf.
W. B. Haggart, 322 Woodward avenue, finds "El Verso,"
of the Deisel-Wemmer Co., a broadleaf favorite, and Al
Monte Cigar Company's "Rozane" a good second. "Miss
Detroit," of H. and J. Mazer, fetches the most nickels, and
Gordon's "Delia Rocca" and Barnes, Smith & Company's
"Opia" are all good sellers.
G. N. Bartlett, No. 330 Woodward avenue, also favors
Al Monte's "Rozane" in broadleaf wrapped goods, together
with "Famabella" and "La Azora," while in nickel goods
"Finfus" and "Bono Leo," both made by Ollesheimer Bros.,
are best sellers, with "Moa," of Cadillac Cigar Co., and "R.
B." and "Ology," sold by Payette-W^alsh Co., right behind.
"Gawley's," 323 Woodward avenue, is in reality C. T.

eleven years ago, behind the counter to greet old acquaint-

druggists, doubtless owing largely to the numberless details of
a retail drug business, but quite as often to inexperience in the
cigar business. The
cigar end of the drug business is a more
important factor every day. It would pay most of our lead-
ing druggists to engage special help for the cigar
counter.

M^^ll Tobacco Co., now in bankruptcy, Emil Berger, the
president of the defunct concern, has been arrested
and held under $2500 bail for a hearing which is scheduled to
come up February 28th, in the Southern District Criminal
Court. Bail was enterd by Abraham J. Gotlieb, 17 West 127th
street, Manhattan,
A suit has also been brought recover
in the civil court to
alleged concealed assets placed at $12,325, all of which has
grown out of Berger's past transactions. At the hearing be-
fore the Referee in Bankruptcy, Berger claimed to have paid
$10,000 for a brand known as "Opera Beauties," and further,
that he had paid out $925 for machinery, etc., and it is now
alleged that he had not made such payments. The value of
five bales of shade grown tobacco placed at $1400 by Berger,
an accounting is now asked for.
The case is being prosecuted by Attorney Levy, of the
United States District Attorney's Office. It is expected that
a number of trade members will be called as witnesses.
