The Tobacco Salesman and His Customers

smokers and astonished his hearers with
the assertion that were it not for the
use of cigarette holders he would not go
wrong on a user of tobacco once in a
hundred times.
The worst thing to determine he
said, "is the difference between the con-
stant user of the heavy cigar and the in
variable cigarette. Both of these men are
usually similar in appearance. They are
thin, nervous and active. But on the fin
gers of the latter is the stain which the
former does not wear. AS soon as he
places his hands on the counter-and
ninety-nine men out of every hundred
place their hands on the counter when
making purchase-we can see the ma
hogany color, and We lead him to the
cigarette department However, the user
of cigarette holder usually has it out
when he enters the store. The fact that
he is smoking reminds him that he is out
of tobacco. Thus We are saved mistakes. -
The style and shape of a cigar which a
smoker desires is comparatively easy to
determine, according to this dealer. The
chief study required Is of the general ap-
pearance of the man as to nervousness
and the shape and size of his mouth, so
the tobacconist said.
"A constant user of cigars in most
cases." declared he, .is a smoker of a
heavy. strong brand The milder forms of
tobacco have lost their tang for him. and
bacco to the lighter forms. Such a man
is invariably nervous. So, if a man hur-
ries into our place. nervously draws out
his money and asks for a half aozen or
dozen cigars, we intuitively lead him to
the counter where the heavy brands are
sold. The smoker OF a light Havana
cigar Is one OF the old-time smokers. who
Evening star., 1912-11-10

INDUCES his fondness for tobacco about
three or four times a day. He enters de-
liberately, looks around, carefully draws
out quarter, and before he can ask for
mild Havana we have him before the
case with several boxes out from which
he can select.
The study of the mouth is important
A wide mouth with thick lips is no place
for one of those delicate panetellas. 1t
would be lost and the smoker would con-
tinually feel uncomfortable Therefore
we provide generous fat cigar for the
man with the heavy lips and big mouth
and he rolls ii in one corner and goes
out feeling perfectly at home. But the
thin-lpped man-and the man with few

wants something about the shape of a
toothpick to hold. We study the man.
ner of the man and his mouth, and we are
able to give him what he wants without
having to bother him for many minutes
Curiously enough the most incessant
smoker of cigarettes is the person who
young fellow comes in and glanceS
around. the salesman glances at his right
hand and forthwith is able to supply him
in an instant. Owing to the curious
habit of the purchaser of always placing
his smoking hand on the counter, the eX-
perienced salesman can tell in an instant
how much he smokes by the color of his
fingers.
If the man is confirmed ..fiend' he
stoops his face is pale and he coughs
slightly. Such man generally calls for
a five-cent sack of tobacco with the pa
pers thrown in. .'Fiends," however, are
rare, according to the expert salesman,
and these more obvious signs are infre-
quently displayed. More frequently the

THERE are about a dozen real TO-
bacco experts in Washington
gray-haired, eagle-eyed men, who
have given their lives to the wnims or
users of tobacco. These men are not or
the school that merely judges tobacco.
Combining their knowledge of the weed
with their powers of observation and
nsvcholoyy. they have learned the art of
knowing what the smoker wants before
he knows it himself Their intuition, or
rather their powers of detection, rarely
fails.
All of them are retail statesmen in the
hic tobacco stores of tie city. There,
morning afternoon and evening, they
meet a hundred different kinds of men.
The inveterate pipe smoker finds himself
led to the counter behind which rests
his favorite brand of fine cut" The
lover of manila cigars finds himself near
a box of this variety, and the devotee
of the light Havana panetella is inevita-
bly, led to this brand of smoke. Likewise
the man who enjoys his cigarettes at %
cents a box is never halted elsewhere
than at the cigarette counter.
The years of training that have 'en-
abled these men to determine the quail
ity of the smoker as well as the smoke
have brought forth interesting results.
and the observations of the sales men are,
TO say the least. unique.
One OF these men, whose store is on
Pennsylvania avenue in tFe business dis
trict, was discoursing on the study OF

general appearance of the cigarette user
and his inevitable fingers-are the
guides to his purse.
Discerning the pipe smoker as against
the cigar and cigarette smoker is rela-
lively easy. AS the expert tobacco sales
man on Pennsylvania avenue says:
After a man has smoked a pipe for
a week or so he comes to have an odor
that is distinct 1t is probably caused by
the fact that he eternally carries his pipe
with him. The pipe and tobacco mingle
with his clothing, and when he gets near
you-if you know the tobacco business
can read pipe on him from head to heels
If he has been using a pipe for years
: there is a peculiar droop to his lip, caused
by carrying the implement in his mouth
This is not always to be observed but
when it is seen it is an absolutely certain
sign
The tobacco chewer is the easiest to
tell of all.
For some idea of incongruity." said
the tobacco salesman. ''the tobacco chew
er almost invariably wears a mustache.
This is always colored rich amber from
expectoration. But even If the mustache
is missing it is easy to detect him. Around
the corners of his mouth will be dis
coloration caused by the juices of the
tobacco which have collected there. Then.
too, there Is a set to the jaws which is
unmistakable. Contrary to general tradi-
ton. the chronic tobacco chewer is usu-
ally neat man. Only the amateur
makes botch of his chewing and spoils
his clothes"

salesman, land I'll show you his tobac-

the turnip-radish. AS a turnip it may be
boiled. mashed. fried or made into de-
licious ragout. Its resemblance to the
radish stands it in good stead, in that
it may be sliced and served raw, to be
eaten with salt, just as If it really We're
a radish. Its economic advantages in
this respect are Immediately apparent
for single turnip-radish, sliced is the
equivalent in bulk to many punches OF
radishes. Also it may be had at a time
when radishes are out of season and can
only be secured by patronage of hot
houses at exorbitant figures. Nor need
the housewife be at all ashamed of serv-
ing it. The common garden variety of
turnip is rarely a thing of beauty. but
not the new vegetable which is
destined to take its place. The latter is
as large as very big grape fruit, is un-
usually symmetrical in shape, and it's
color is deep crimson. The crimson does
not merely extend over part of it. 1t
is red from top to bottom and all around
AS one of the agricultural experts de-
clared, Its almost pretty enough to be
used just for decorative purposes" AS
is the case with the common variety of
turnip. too. the leaves of the radish-tur-
nip may be boiled for greens.
The jujube, mentioned in the prospec-
tive Washington bill of fare, is another
novel foodstuff which Uncle Sam expects
soon to have his subjects eating, but this
is not a vegetable. but fruit. 1t grows
on a spiny tree, long and bare of trunk.
with its foliage cropping out at the very
top in a great cluster. like the royal
palms of the tropics. The jujube itself
is not new to the United States. For
many years candies favored with the
fruit have been sold here but always the
f'avoring was imported at an enormous
cost. 1t was this cost of the importing
and the delicacy of the flavor that caused
Uncle Sam to investigate. He found that
the jujube fruit was not only valuable
as a flavoring supply for candy, but also
as food. Then he imported a few of the
trees and tried them In various places
1t was found that they took hold readily
almost anywhere. and grew abundantly
and quickly. Not yet satisfied, the gov
ernment still kept experimenting. and
finally set out some young trees in the
arid lands OF the southwest, lands which
