Making Cigar Labels.

''The making of cigar labels requires
the greatest autographs skill. The de-
sign Is first executed in water colors by
the artist, after which It is transferred to
specially prepared Bsvarian stones. a
separate stone being required for each
color. By printing different colors on top
of each other the most wonderful and
pleasing combinations are produced. Sew
eral labels are printed at time. Only
for this the cost would be enormous for
it is so difficult to justify the different
parts to the necessary nicely that large
proportion has to be cast aside as inper-
feet. Each firm has a large supply Of
stock labels, to which new designs are
constantly being added, go that when
cigar manufacturer gets out new brand
he can select an appropriate label without
any delay. THE larger label manufac-
turers," continued the manufacturer,
employ their own artists, who are kept
busy in getting up new designs, but many
Bohemian artists manage to exc out an
existence by sketching designs. A good
sketch is often worsh 800, while others,
again, bring only SIS. The reason we
prefer to employ our own artists Is the re-
suit Of the dishonest practices Of the Bo-
hemisns themselves. When . man got a
good idea he would make several draw
ings Of the same design, each varying
only In the minor parts. He would then
sell them to different manufacturers and
be paid several times over for the same
design. New York Evening Sun.
