SH-This office Is In receipt of your letter
of inquiry of the twenty eighth ultimo, and
OF its inelOsuTe, OF an impression on paper OF
the cancellng die used by factory No. $50 for
cancelling cigar stamps.
In reply to your inquiries you are informe ed
that In branding, and on the caution label, the
cigar manufacturer may use the word fac
tory" or .manufactory." Both words have
the same meaning, though the word "facto-
ry' is preferable because 1t Is shorter.
In cancelling the stamps the manufacturer
should, in all cases, use hts registered number
as manufacturer, which, If he operates but
one factory, will be the same as his factory
number; but II he operates more than one fac
tory, he is to have only one registered number
as a manufacturer.
See section 1889 Revised Statutes, as amend
ed by act OF March /, 1879.
