COMMERCIAL MEN DEPART.
For Annual Visit to the Headquarters
OF Their Several Firms.

Hancock is the headquarters OF n
considerable number Of commercial
travellers, representing various firms in
Chicago Milwaukee, Detroit and Du-
luth, and as there is little business
doing in the interval between Christ
mas and New Years. the men on the
road are at this season called in every
year for conferences at Headquarters.
Several from here have left for their
visits to their home offices among
those leaving Tuesday being Jay
Pearce of the stone Ordean Wells
company and c. r. Sullivan of the
Gowan Peyton Twohy company at Du-
luth; Gene Murphy and John Keyes go
to Chicago, and various others of the
local travelling fraternity are making
similar trips. Special entertainment is
provided by the heads of the firms on
these annual visits OF the travelling
men, and at Duluth the Commercial
club is general headquarters for such
gatherings.
The travelling men are taking les
sons and giving lessons, gathering in
formation about their new lines and
telling what they know about BUSH
ness conditions in their territory Next
years business is being given a broad
and sound foundation by means of the
conferences and consultations now be-
ing held in the different business
houses.
This season Of business confabula-
ton is not all work, however. There
are other features involved which
break the monotony of business con-
ferences, as i'm the case of the Mar
shall-Wels companys sales staff
which will be entertained at dinner in
the Duluth Commercial club quarters
There will be 1875 guests.

price he finds that IL is every bit as
good as the average ten cents straight
smoke in New York.
THE explanation lies in the fact
that the Mexican government does not
collect internal revenue on domestic
tobacco. Production is free as far as
any tax is concerned and the leaf
grows so abundantly, that prices on
the manufactured article are kept
down to an inconsiderable figure
"The cigarette is of course the ia
yorite form in which the Mexican
uses tobacco. The very best brands
cost only ten cents American for a
box of ten, while an excellent cigarette
can be obtained M five cents The
boxes are gorgeous affairs, usually
bearing a picture in glaring eolors Of
the bull ring or of some stage favor
tie. The fiorid Latin taste in such
things extends even to the paper i'm
which the cigarettes are rolled. II is
seldom white or plain brown. but it
IS OF a marbled pattern In gray brown
or lavender.
"The poems smoke a very cheap
brand, which retails at FIVE cents Mex
for two packs containing ten each.
These are very crude. In the first
place, the tobacco that goes TO make
them is not put through any curing
process. 1t is sun dried and is offered
TO the consumer i'm the form of brittle
and somewhat favorless sections of
leaf. The cigarettes are rolled In
coarse paper. which is not even gum
med down, a twist at each and be-
ing sufficient to keep the tobacco to-
gether.
I'm order To protect the domestic
