haps he essential of essentials is judicious,
persistent advertising. Men who are "up to
snuff' have grasped the idea, Many ex-
amples might be given. Probably none
would better Illustrate the truth Of the above

of Chicago. Before he came into the field
the opinion prevailed that cigars could be
sold only by employing travelingmen. Mr..

sented by the high-priced travelingm man.
The plan worked from the start. Dealer and
smoker caught on to such a surprising
extent that, even at the small profit he re
serves for himself, Mr.. T. is now recognized
as one of the solid men of Chicago. He has
kept faith with his customers and with the
