are figuring very closely now to deter
mine whether it would be possible for
them to continue in the business after
July i, when the license of $40 per
month goes into effect. The license will
force all small dealers to abNadon the

creating monopoly. However, the
cigarette business is regarded by many
dealers as a nuisance. and they will be
glad to quit. The leading exclusively

wholesale and retail. but IL is probable
that the few dealers that will pay the
tax will form a combine and raise the
price of all brands to Is cents per pack.
