Safety SeaT' and Boss Farmer"
 Cigars

Safety Seal" and Boss Farmer"
 Cigars.
 The following letter comes from the manufacturers to the well-known sales man, who named the cigar: MT. R. J. Orr,
 Plttsfeld, Mass.
 Dear Sir:
 For the past two months or so we have felt noticeable increase in the sales of Boss Farmer" cigars. This ] increase might be absorbed to two causes-a gradual revival of business conditions throughout the country-or the consummation of the individual efforts of the men daily on the firing line.
 While both are essential factors in the development of large business, we believe this increase to be due to the latter. Assuming that our guess is correct, and knowing the adverse con- ditions under which it has been accom- plished, we wish to congratulate you. If it is possible for you to attain such results at this time, what can we reasonably expect from you when busi- ness conditions are normal?
 We have no hesitancy in venturing the opinion that the country is on the eve of an unbounded era of business prosperity. In the Boss Farmer" and Safety Seal'' brands of cigars we are supplying your house with, we are furnishing a product which for style and quality stands head and shoulders above your competitors offering at the same prices. With such superior 1 equipment it is obvious that if we dc not one and all get share of this pros. perity-we are asleep at the switch.
 As stated above, you have done well | thus far in 1915. Don't stop there Try to do better! It's there waiting, so let's go to it, and beat the other fel- 1 low. You are backed by house which has no peer ill its line They certainly i try to buy the best. We heartily ell. dOrse all they tell you concerning these cigars, and then some. If we knew i how to make them better we would welcome the opportunity. If we can give you any information not already 1 ill your possession, write us! We are pleased at all times to take it up with you personally, and tell you all we know. It's our business to make and talk cigars-Will you do your part We ask your cooperation.
 Very truly yours,
 H. F. Fidler & Go.

The SSar Chamber.

The old tribunal which figures so eX- tensively ill the history of Charles I. as the "star chamber is said to have received the name from the fact that the roof Nf the apartment in which the tribunal sat was decorated with gilt stars. Another explanation is that it took its name from the "starres," or Jewish bonds, which at one time had been kept in it.
