On the first day of November, 1888,
representative men from the popular
firm of J. NJ. Branuon " Co., the
largest cigar dealers of New York,
commenced operations in Texas, and,
though but few mouths have elapsed
since their fast sales were made III the
state, the house has made for itself
reputation of which the management
may Justly feel proud. The opinion
Inns long prevailed that manufacturers
were prepared ut any and all times TO
uivn rates on goods of their own manu-
facture that would successfully DEFY
competition, but practical experience
has demonstrated that the far-seeiug
business man, with sufficient capital To
fully meet the requirements OF ms
lradc, can, by taking advantage II The
periudical depTessions in the market
ulace himself on the vantage ground,
so TO sneak, and tear tie laurels ir,m
the brow even of the manufacturer
himself This class of business men
are not hampered in their oper-
atoms 10y the contingencies upon
which depend the success or failure
of n manufacturer, hence the unpaf-
aleiled success of the few mammoth
establishments that have adhered
strictly to This line of policy. Assoc
ated with j. NJ. Brannon in the cigar
trade are gentlemen OF ripe experience
anu rare ability; men VINO are ihti-
mat,.ly acquainted with the minutia
of the business and understand fully
lis requirements. Togetherthey make
a strong firm, and the entering wedge
that was driven into the VeSas trade
by them on the first of November last
is having its legitimate effect. For
the better accommodation OF
dealers in this state they
have established II branch
house at Fort Worth and keep con-
stuutly on hand II stock Of 3Oo,~o ci'
nars, Their warehouse in which these
goods are stored is built perfectly AIR
tight and the cigars are kept in ofigi
nal cases. so that every case remains
fresh and pure AS when turned oui

the firm, we mention Captain jack
