this the restriction requiring members

in constant additions to the membership
list. Thus the club prospered and IN
April, 1895, still more room was needed

The trustee appointed happened to be

The chairman said that no one out

make them the servants of the Imperial

cans offered large bonus, no restric-

The Belfast tobacco dealers at a

decided to accept the American PROPOSE

The feeling among the London tobac-
