Mnst Scratch Three Sides.

In reference to an order issued to
cigar dealers October |, in which they
were told that to fully comply with
the internal revenue laws they must
either break up empty cigar boxes or
wash off the revenue stamps, a ruling
from United States Internal Revenue
Commissioner Yerks, has been recoiy-
ed in which he says that to cancel the
stamp on emptied cigar boxes the
stamp must be scratched on three sides.
Heretofore it has been the custom
when box was emptied of the cigars
to simply scratch the stamp across the
top of the box.

There are merchants who do not
advertise because they can't write
advertisements, and yet they are
ashamed to say SO. tits no discrodit
to a merchant to have some one write
the advertisement for him. 1t is
best to get any one who can do it
well to handle the work and thus
relieve the merchant not only of the
work but also of the worry. 1t may
not even be question Of inability
that prevents the merchant from
doing the work himself It may be
purely a matter of convenience.
Anyway, some one should handle
the work who can do it well, and
some one must handle it to- do the
establishment some good. There are
ways in which the advertising can be
neglected without being especially
apparent to the proprietor, and the
Overworked head of the establish
ment is likely to have his business
going to pieces for lack of attention
to one detail or another. 1t is i'm
portant that the advertising should
be one detail which is we'll cared for,
because that is what gives the estab-
llsrnent standing among the people
at large.
