so pleasant that one does not care

MUsr SOl GYE EMPTY
CIGAR BOXES AWAY.

On and after May /, dealers in
cigars will not be permitted to give
away or sell empty cigar boxes. In
those parts where tobacco is grown
on large scale there are SO many
small manufacturers of cigars, and
II IS alleged they frequently make
cheap cigars and place them in
empty boxes that had contained
high priced cigars. Not only is the
government cheated in this way but
the manufacturers of high grade
cigars as well.
The only way in which dealers
will be able to protect themselves
will be TO destroy the boxes the mo-
ment the last cigar is removed.
Otherwise the box might fall into
the hands OF another party. Under
the law both parties would be liza
bic.
The law reads, in part as follows:
where ever any person sells, gives,
or receives any boA*r* branded in
OF marked in any way so as to show
that the conte nts thereof
have been duly inspected, or that
the tax thereon has been complied
with, whether such *** branding
otherwise without authority Of law,
said box +** being empty, *** he
shall be liable to a penalty of not
less than fifty or more than FIVE
hundred dollars.
In view of the fact that the statute
in question has not heretofore been
applied in such cases, and to lie
prevalence of the practice of max
ing and using marked and branded
empty cigar boxes, it is deemed
proper to give public notice that the
practice must be stopped and that
after reasonable time violaters Of
the statute will be prosecuted.
Any such empty marked and
branded cigar boxes found in the
hands of dealers on and after Nav
I, proximo, will be seized fer for.
feiture and personal proceedings
will also be taken under the law
provided for such cases.
