one or two habitual cigarette smokers
amongst the boys of this town, bur of the
men who parade their black pipes along
the streets and at their work their name
is legion. Now, We recognize the
right of any man to smoke who wants to,
but there is a time and a place for all
things, and smoking while at work in or
around a building is not one of the times (
nor the place.
