THE TOBACCO TRADE.
A Question Raised as to the Legality of
Offering Prizes to Induce Custom.
From the Couraer-JourmaA

Offering Prizes to Induce Custom.
Fro0, the Couraer-Jouymd1.
WASHINGTON, July "A tobacco firm
in Louisville, Ky, has addressed an in
quiry to the Postmaster General on the
subject of advertising goods through the
mails by Offering prizes. They want to
know II this is an Otiense against the
laws as they propose, if it is not,
to embark in that business extern
siyely. An answer can not be given to
this question just now by the department.
The subject is under consideration in the
form of an appeal from prominent East
ern dealers against the methods OF lottery
| advertising adopted and practioed by 7.
}. Sorg & Co. tobaccouists, of Middleton.
o. An elaborate argument has been made
before Assistant Attorney General Bryant
to induce the department to declare Sorg's
methods Illegal.
The Ohio firm marks its plug tobacco
with tin device; those returning to the
manufacturers the largest number Of de-
vices receive designated prize. Another
scheme gives purchasers Of the tobacco Il
chance to guess at the number of plugs
sold in a given time, for which a prize is
awarded TO the best guesser. The East
ern tobaccOnists complain that this is a
lottery scheme; that it is not business
like; that the trade is being demOraiiZed,
and that to be compelled to adopt such
measures would be ruinOus. SOrg q Co.
have been notified of these protests, and
informed by the department that they will
be heard through counsel in defense of
their advertising methods, and they have
sgnided desire to answer the charges
made.
The department cannot answer any in
Quiries like that received from Louisville
until the Sorg case is disposed Of There
is much interest In the tobacco trade on
this subject, as the competition which the
continuance Of prize sRles forces appa-
rently has no limit. There has been no
complaint from any purchaser that he has
been swindled, or that money has been
obtained from him by false preteDses,
hence there are serious doubts OF the de-
partment's power to interfere The same
objections raised by the Eastern tobacco
dealers against the offering Of prizes
could be raised by newspaper publishers
against those who resort TO various
schemes In the matter OF club subscribers
or the distribution Of chrOmos. The to-
bacco men will make a good fight on both
sides.
