CIGAR OUTPUT HEAVY.
Detroit Factories Manufactured ga,
66e,333 During 1909.

There Is swell chance for the hgur-
er To get busy with the data that
might be run up in regard To the cigar
output OF the Detroit factories last
year. During that time there was 24i.-
66s.333 cigars produced in our home
factories. That would allow or De
troit's treating every man In the
United States 10 a handful and stili
having a few left. Or il might figure
out that every adult Detroit male,
could get a box a week without ex
hausting the local supply.
The figures are official because
they are given out by the internal
revenue Office here. The same repor'
shows that. more beer was brewed IN

year than before. the local option wave

cause.
Internal revenue receipts at Detroit
were only about 80 per cent as great
in December. 1909. as in the same
month OF the previous year. This was
pronounced as being due TO the fact
that less whisky was taken out cl
