gars in New York store and, adding
ten cents to their cost, said: Take one
yourself, Sam" "No, thank you," said
the dealer I'm not smoking" That's
a poor advertisement for your stock
when you won't use it yourself. ;"

The trouble I've had all my life, or as
long as I've been in this trade, has been
to get tobacco that is light enough for
my own use"
