TOBACCO TRUST
Buys an Entire Town, Which Includes a
Snuff Company.

Buys an Entire Town, which Includes q
SNUFF Company.
One hundred and forty-four revenue
stamps and a stroke Of the pen trans
ferred the entire town Of Helmetta, N.
j., to a trust, says the New York Jour
nal. Snuff was the foundation of the
town, and with snuff its destinies will
continue. Twenty-Five years ago the
George ". Helme company started in
to make snuff. He made good snuff
and prospered. The Helme family
owned the tract Of land whereon its
factory stood, and town was laid out
and named after Eta Helme, a daugh-
ter OF the house, now Mrs. John w. Her
bert. BY the simple process of adding
her first name to her last and eupho-
nistic name of Helmetta was produced
The Helmes, as their trade increased
laid out streets and built houses toI
their workmen. Nearly every inhabi.
tant in the place worked in the SNUFF
mill, they we're happy and prosperous.
and withal the business grew to grand
proportions. Time and again outsiders
tried to buy the property, but tho
Helmes felt that their prosperity and
happiness were in the works, and they
steadfastly refused all offers. The Am.
erican Snuff Trust at last made a big
offer. 1t kept adding to this year afteI
year, and a few weeks ago its success
came. The Helmes counted up profits,
found they were enormously wealthy
and being tired of continual work in
