ers Of Smoking and Chewing
Tobaccos.

Chicago.-Today the average per-
son does not hear SO much about altar
of roses as was the case a few years
back. The druggist may be able to
drag out small vial of 1t from the
rear of a closet shelf, its quantity, per-
chance, reduced by half with the pass
ing Of years; but it Is more than like
" that he will have none at all in
stock. What's the use? No one asks
for 1t any more.
That does not mean, however, that
there is not plenty of the famous per.
fume to be had. Ask some big whole
saler of drugs and he will doubtless
be able to tell you quite different
story from the retailer. Very likely
he will open the door of q safe and
show you what $4,000 worth of the
precious STUFF looks like all at once
That is not much in bulk, as 1t is
worth s. or SO an ounce, wholesale.
Az a matter of fact, more than $780,
900 worth of altar Of roses is brought
into this country every year. The
best is from roses grown near Con-
stantinople. Not only does this bring
q higher price than the product OF the
bulgarian rose fields, but its superb
ority is recognized by a separate
classification In the trade. Where
does the $4,000 worth OF this oily
