We take the following from the
Southern Tobacconist
In answering to some enquiries as
to what tobacco papers are best, for
advertising, ETC., we reply,
not with the intent Of criticising, but
as a guide, as we see the subject.
The New York Tobacco Leaf is not
amiss in any Office, and as a general
informer on home and foreign tobacco
business is reliable standard. 1t is
neither meddiesome nor sensational. 1t
has a good corps of reliable and live
correspondents in all main cigar and
leaf tobacco centres, with very gsod
foreign circulation. 1t has the hogs.

It's the wholesaler paper reliance.
The New York United States Tobacco
Journal is more conspicuously and
essentially cigar-makers' and cigar
leaf dealers tobacco paper. 1t is ably
edited. 1t is fiery, aggressive, and a,
times semi-sensational. Its forte is
quick exposure Of evil doors with gloves
off. 1t is rather feared by evil-doers
than praised for its pleasantness OF
paragraphs. 1t thrives on what it is
fed on. 1t is vigilant and good authority
on cigar tobaccOs and exports and i'm
ports. 1t is crisp and newsy and
partizan, and in controversy and &C

fender of its tcnets and its major
patrons causes, as it sees it. Its pat
ronage is North, and it flourishes
among the tax, tariff and import
duties
The Western Tobacco Journal is be-
coming venerable in its 18th year. 1t
is the chain that has long bound to-
gether East and West, North and
South. 1t is popular and happy medium
between the distinctive trades in cigar
leafand Southern and Western tobaccos
OF its original patronage itretains most
in Virginia and North Carolina, next
Western business and last Northern.
1t is conservatively and we'll edited
and well classified and printed and is
popular with the masses, including
planters. 1t is the staunch represent

piler of periodical and running Stats
tics. The price-s2.OO per year-puts
it in the hands of many planters, be-
sides dealers. 1t is essential to the
Western trade and deserves a large
patronage of that section. It has a
very fair foreign influence, and is a
safe paper in the hands of all tobacco
nists. Its influence is far-reaching, and
its crop and market reports are of the
best to be read.
The Southern Tobocco Journal, OF
Winston, is among junior journalism

of its record and highly favored by a

local, but extending. 1t is need well
supplied in its special section. 1t ap-
pears mostly as localized and partizan
in its purport, in conformity to its
patronage. 1t is highly appreciated
at home. Its mission is to push home
trade, first, foremost and all the time,
and is likely to rather impetuonsly
show its teeth on any assumption OF
its prerogative Oh intruders, according
to its way of thinking. 1t has a good
home patronage among planters, and

its name implies, more local than other.

loose market of the world is verify its
strongest and best advocate. 1t has
been successful, considering the in.
creased competition of other older
tobacco journals occupying its territory
and is making laudable efforts and
progress. Like its predecessor, the
present Winston paper, its main sup
port is cooperative home trade-the
truest foundation to start on. Its first
year indicates healthy growth and
goodly support. 1t is industriously
edited and deals with home issues
chiefly in bright tobacco, with commend.

the third tobacco paper published in

and comments in brief we'll written on
leading cigar and tobacco brands. Its
corps Of correspondents in main distri.
butive tobacco centres furnish weekly
summary of dealings and doings Of
interest to retailers chiefly. It's a
clean sheet and free from useless con-
troversy, as a rule.
The Lancaster PENN Tobacco Jour-
nal is the baby Of the trade, but claims
a circulation ahead Of seniors that's
hard to realize. Pennsylvania cigars
and leaf is its main stay and mission
to advocate.
The GOLD LEAF, of Henderson,
North Carolina, though not intending
to be strictly a tobacco organ, is very
creditable weekly, and is doing good
in educating planters and promoting
tobacco interests in the bright belt of
North Carolina.
