There are first, second and third pref

1t was hoped at first that some arrange

The Great Tobacco War.

from the New ork Herald.
The head of one of the largest ST. Louis
manufactures of plug tobacco said to-day:
About two years ago we put on the mar
ket brand of plug tobacco. and when we
figured 1t out, we found we had lost Just
seven cents a pound Battle AK plug to-
baccO, l am told, sells for one cent per
pound less than our brand, which would
make the loss on it nine cents per pound
Battle Az" however, is superior to the
one we put out, and must cost more to
manufacture. Twenty million pounds of
Battle AK plug tobacco were sold, on
which believe there must have been a
loss of at least ten cents a pound so on
this item alone there seems to have been
d loss of 100000
From the above statement of a large
plug tobacco manufacturer, who evidently
knows what he is talking about it would
seem TO us that the only one who is bene-
fitting by the tobacco war is the man who
chews Battle AK" for he is certainly get
ting the full worth of his money every
time he buys 1t.
