Wanted a Sample Cigar.

From the New York Times
Let me have a sample of these" said a
woman after looking critically at several
boxes Of cigars which the salesman exhibit
ed as 'just the thing for him."
The clerk put one Of the cigars in a paper
case and handed it over as If giving away
sample" cigars was quite customary.
That's the way women beat the joke
smiths" said the salesman, when the wo-
man had gone out. You don't see so many
jokes nowadays about women giving their
husbands and beaus bad cigars? Well
that's because they get samples just as
they do in buying silks and ribbons, and
try them on their men folks. The he in
this case will smoke that cigar tonight
II n likes 1t, she will be in tomorrow to
buy box of them. 1t struck US as pretty
cheeky when the first request was made
of us for a sample cigar, but now we are
quite used to 1t and 1t pays. bringing us
quite little steady trade
