WAR HAS BEEN
DECLARED

by the Cigar Manufacturers, not a
bloody war, where shot and shell fly
thick, but a good honest fight against
all outside made cigars, cigars that
are not made in our city.
Our army consists of four soldiers
who reside here and purchase all
goods that are obtainabIe, right at
home. These four soldiers are tax
payers and are helping to increase
the population and business of our
city. When purchasing an outside ci-
gar do you know under what con
ditions they are manufactured. Many
are made by cinnamon in San Fran
cisco, and other coast towns and the
cinnamon work under the most unsan
itary conditions. Tens of thousands
are made in New York tenement
houses, where the head of the family
goes to some large manufacturing con
Germ and is given so many pounds of
tobacco, out of which he must make
so many cigars; he takes it home and
the whole family get busy making
cigars in these two living rooms
Such conditions are not found in the
Grand Rapids factories. Everything
is kept clean and cigars are made
under the best possible sanitary con-
ditions, so when you buy a cigar that
is made at home you are guaranteed
a good, clean smoke.
Now, Mr.. Smoker, we want you to
join our army and help us win our
fight against outside goods, and at
the same time help boost for a big
ger and better Grand Rapids, for we
are all "Out to Win'-and we will
win

have called upon to assure the Grove

that all the stock has been subscrib-
ed. The Grove Motor Co., asked that
certain amount be subscribed to
show them that We were in earnest
and that amount has been secured,
now it only remains for the inter
ested parties to sell the remaining
stock and no trouble is anticipated in
the disposing of it. Already people
from other cities have expressed a
willingness or a desire to secure some
of this stock and it will not be diff
ficult proposition to sell the en-
tire amount of stock that is still left.
The time has been short in which to
see enough business men and the
committee had to work hard to get a.
round to raise the required amount
There are many more people to be
seen and it is expected that the great
er part Of the remaining stock will be
subscribed before the model car gets
here. If the committee has not call
ed upon you, be ready for them when
they come and get in on the best in
vestment it may ever be your opportu.
Dity to have presented to you. The
| Grove 30" made in Grand Rapids is
| going to not only increase the popu-
! lation and make the city better and
| bigger, and bring more business here
but wherever the car goes Throughout
entire world, Grand Rapids, Wisconsin
will be known and will have won its
proper place on the map.
