A PRIVATE LETTER.

Probably no man is better known or
more highly respected than MIR. Julian ;.
Carr, President of the Blackwelfs Dur
ham Tobacco Co., OF Durham, N; Y. In
every tobacco store In the United states,
and in many foreign countries, Blackwells
Durham Tobacco is sold, and 1t Is we'll
known fact that the sales OF this Company
largely exceed those OF any other tobacco
manufacturer. That such success has
been obtained is due to the energy, integ-
rity and ability of MIR. Carr, who has so
successfully managed the affairs Of the
Company. Such letter as the following,
written by Mr.. Carr TO personal friend
whose only interest in The matter referred
to was desire to do friendly act, is GER
tainly worthy of careful reading.
