1t may be interesting to those who
are in the habit of enjoying a Waitt &
Bond Blackstone Cigar to know that
for the past five years every months
sales have greatly exceeded the cor
responding months of the previous
year.
In fact no other 10 cent cigar in New
England compares with the Blackstone
in the amount of sales. In these days
of substitution. cut prices and the
strenuous desire on the part of cigar
manufacturers to cater to dis
eliminating public. it certainly must be
intensely gratifying to Messrs. Watt
& Bond that the popularity Of the
Blackstone Cigar is still increasing
Comparison is the true test. and the
significance of this fact is largely
responsible for the enormous sales of
the Blackstone.
Watt & Bond have the largest
factory devoted exclusively to the
manufacture Of cigars in New England.
Each department is under the watchful
eyes. of men skilled in their profession
who are never content with good
enough and are the severest critics of
their own production.
A walk through the light. clean. airy
rooms of this immense factory presided
over by able and efficient union work.
men will give you reason to believe
that Blackstone Cigars will still con-
tinue to afford comfort and satisfaction
for many years to come.
