In Minnesota, where there is a law
against the sale of cigarets, the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Post is most
interesting:
There are 10 different brands of

any pretensions to a general trade.
In many shops there are even more.

practically answered all the needs of
the trade.
It is an odd growth. Many of our
well-intentioned people will seek to
make it moral phenomenon and
see in it a sign of the decline of the
race. But as matter of fact 1t is
a commercial development. 1t shows
what advertising can do, when back

Considered solely from this stand
point the growth in the cigaret
trade is interesting enough. For in
stance, there is the fact that the So
called trust" puts upon the market,
every week or so, new brand of
cigarets. They may be, and usual
ly are, composed of the same kind
of tobacco as their numerous prede-
cessors, but the manufacturer has
discovered that "anything new will
SELL" So he makes up a pretty little
box and puts out a novelty" that
stimulates business.
The package has a good deal to do
with it, anyway. There is at present
on the market a cigaret box made
of wood like miniature cigar box,
and although it takes up more room
than a pasteboard carton, it's "cute-

In England there are in common use
at least twenty brands of American

as if this "roN-your-own" cigarette
was going to drive the made-up spe-

has let up bit, however, and it is
evident that it is not to result in a
devastating victory. BY this we do
not mean to say that it is not in

The Science OF City Building.

The Science or City Building.
There are certain cities, big and
small, that are deserting the Topsy
method of just growing. They are be-
ing gently and persistenty pushed
along toward greatness. To use an in
vidious metaphor, they are picking
factories from their less wakeful
neighbors and planting them in their
own towns, they are causing the trans
fer of hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of business from the somnolent
cities, and, in this time Of reforms, are
boasting of their remarkable progress
in population.
The way the thing is done may be
aptly illustrated by the manner in
which Poughkeepsie obtained an auto
mobile factory. The secretary read in
a newspaper that an Italian company
was thinking of locating factory in
this country. Without waiting for the
owners to have a chance to look the
country over and decide for them
selves, the secretary pounced upon
them and talked Poughkeepsie, talked
it hard and convincingly. He invited
them to come up and see the place,
and when he got them there took
them all over the town, showed them
tre schols and churches, the parks
and workingmens houses, and told
them about the railroad facilities and
rates. Then he took them to the very
spot that he had picked out in ad-
vance where they could build; he pic
tured the factory to them, pointed to
the homes their men would live In,
told them how low the taxes were and
how healthful was the air. When they
went away the visitors had every good
point about Poughkeepsie throbbing
in their heads in a hundred different
forms, and consequently they straight
way came back and built their factory
in Poughkeepsie.-Hen A, Norwood,
