Germs whose business grows as their goods
become better known in distant places.
Henry seSmon Is one Of the pioneers In
the stogie trade, and though he has de-
voted some OF his attention to other bust

works factor in this industry. His
speciality Is stogies and tips, though he
has good trade In cigars OF higher price.
His trade, like that Of Wheeling cigar
manufacturers, Ia the result Of natural
growth. Recently Mr., sesmon made q
trip 10 the Northwest, combining business
with pleasure, and the result was that he
was Obliged to increase his force to supply
orders. His "Nail City stogles" do not
let go where once they take hold.

ought to appreciate and enjoy. The
greater reason is the ventilating power Of
tho crate. An ordinary FIRE place rensws
the air OF the room on an average OF five
times an hour; that Is, 1t draws in and

There Is good reason for supposing that

their pores into the room large amount
Of carboniC oxide, one OF the most deadly
gases known to science. This applies to
stoves in which coal is the fuel, Tor this
gas Is the result Of the burning OF coal,

escape OF this gas may be attributed many
OF the sore throats, coughs and headaches
so common In winter.

This serious objection may be entirely
removed by the use OF natural gas in
