Changing Brands OF Tobacco.

'In tobacco used for pipes it Is quite
usual thing for smokers to change
their brand every two years or so"
said dealer in such things, though,
on the other hand. there are some men
who never change. This changing is in
many cases simply a habit, but one
which has been acquired In a curious
way
"The men who make such changes
declare they have simply got tired of
the old brand, whereas, as a matter of
fact, it is often case where the brand
has deteriorated in quality. 1t used to
be common thing for some manufac-
turers to put out new brand of smok-
ing tobacco so good that 1t could not be
sold at profit at the price asked. This
speedily doomed the brand to'phenom-
enal popularity. and then slowly, so
slowly that it would not be noticed for
long time. the manufacturer would
proceed to get his money back by using
inferior stock in the brand.
"Fortunes were made in this way,
and many man who finally gave up
his favorite brand never knew any
thing except that he had grown tired
of It, Many men who changed often
for this cause. however, now make 1t a
point to change regulariy."-Philadel-
phia Record.
