Inc local cigar ana TOBACCO dealers, ee-
pecially the druggists. have come to the
conclusion that they will not sell goods
at cut rate. for they believe that as they
are doing business in a laboring vicinity
that men who are striving for higher
wages will show their spirit by patron
warrant profit.
These dealers are as willing TO sell for
just as small a margin as any foreign
dealer. but they find that they have. on
account OF the tobacco trust, been unable
TO buy goods at a rate that will allow
them to do So One dealer offered TO
place a 5000 order with New York firm.
providing he could purchase goods so as
10 meet the prices that will be established
by firm which is to locate here I'm De-
cember. but was unable to do so. and the
result Is that all will stick to the old
prices and depend upon their friends and
the general public TO back them up.
