Sales Of Virginia Cigarettes.

From the United States Tobacco Journal.
New York dealers are commenting upon
the renewed activity in Virginia ciga-
rettes. Last year about this time nickel
packs of Virginia brands took q jump.
but fell away again in the autumn. Now
the principal Virginia brands are again
selling in large quantities, and some OF
the dealers have been wondering IL II Is
going to be just another summer squirt.
From inquiries they have been making
among their patrons they look for an
increase instead Of a decrease during the
fall, and the reason for this opinion is
interesting.
The Virginia cigarette. they say. Is
getting the strongest following among
laborers, truckmen and others who work
out of doors, and the largest volumes
Of sales are among Japanese. Italians and
Scandinavians, who are turning more and
more toward the scentless package
One we'll known Virginia brand was
found to hold the highest percentage of
any cigarette sold by seven stores situ-
ated in the heart OF the East Side
Dealers in other parts Of the city report
a reflection of this trend toward the Vir-
ginians by those who labor with their
