CIGARETTE MANUFACTURERS
PLAN TO CUT OUT COUPONS
Enormous Saving Is Indicated Through
Elimination OF Rebate Slips Now
Given With Many Drnnds

AT the moment it appears likely that
the three largest cigarette manufac-
turers of this country will do away
entirely with the use of coupons. The
Lorillard. LigEett e Myers and Ameri-
can Tobacco Companies have started
the ball rolling in such a decisive fash
ion that the entire elimination of this
inducement to buyers of cigarettes
seems likely.
On the basis of the coupons elimi-
mated by the American Tobacco Com
pany during the first week of the
change of policy. the saving 10 this
concern amounts to 100000 a month.
or s2.40o,0o0 year. according to the
Wall Street Journal. This is equal to
6 per cent on the s40,242,400 common
stock outstanding. Further elimination
of coupons by this company will mean
an increased saving of 100000 a month
additional. This would add 3 per cent

more TO the earnings on the common
shares Of the American Tobacco Com
pany. or n total difference OF per cent.
Figuring that the American Tobacco
Company Is consistent % per cent
Garner for the common shares. with tho
use OF coupons this would mean that
the company can show in the nciehbor-
hood of 35 per cent on tho common
stock with the coupons eliminated.
The saving to the Liggett & Myers
and Lorillard concerns will be In nro-
portion. The step looking toward the
elimination OF this increased cost upon
the tobacco concerns was initiated by
the Liggett e Myers Company with the
dropping of coupons on the Fatima
brand. This ia ono of the largest SELL
ing cigarette brands manufactured by
any American company, and Il move as
radical as this was naturally followed
by the other manufacturers.
The five largest cigarette manurac-
turers In this country are the Amerl-
can Tobacco Company. p. Lorillard Co.
Iicgcu & Myers. r. ]. Reynolds and
the Tobacco Products Corporation. The
Reynolds concern has built up an enor-
nous cigarette business, amounting, it
is said. to more than 10 per cent OF tho
entire country's cigarette output on
one brand alone. But the Reynolds
company has never used coupon.
The total saving to the American
Tobacco, Lorlllard and Liggett &
Myers concerns will probably be be-
tween sS,ooo,ooo and s1o.ooo.ooO an,
nually. The brands affected have
already been established on a big pay
ing basis. so that the general elimina-
ton Of coupons will hurt none of the
companies. 1t has been conceded for
over two years that the cutthroat com
petition that has resulted from the free
use Of coupons and gifts has eaten into
earnings at a far greater rate than was
In any way called for, but none OF the
companies heretofore dared take the
step that was certain to result in the
general elimination of this form OF sell
Ing tobacco goods.

OPERATIONS CONDUCTED

LIKE GREAT FACTORY
Everything connected with the gold
working going on inithe klondikc is
run Just as carefully as a great mod
srn factory. Cost sheets are kept and
ne operation OF the property is based
upon the maximum efficiency Of both
men and machines. Mr. Bovle's
drcdges have worked for weeks at
more than % per cent Of their caDa-
city. They are run throughout the
season. which lasts from May until
.hc latter part of November, with a
loss OF less than 10 per cent in stop
pages OF any kind. They never put in
less than twenty-five hours out of the
twenty-four, and they go on day and
night. Sundays and week days. until
they ARE closed by the coolest of the
winter months

late in December, and this year in the
middle of January, when the Their
moincter was so degrees below zero.
Boyles biggest dredge was digging as
usual. The dredge was steam heated.
and the men were comfortable as
aboard ship at any time OF the year.
During the past year some of the
drcdges have worked for six days Of
the week and lost only twenty min
utes a day during that time. When it
is remembered that n single drcdge
takes UP gold 10 the amount of $4,000
a day, and some times to $4,000 and
upward. YOU Will see how important is
the length Of the season and that tho
drcdges lose no time by breaks or
other conditions.
And this brings me TO another of the
new wonders of civil engineering in
tho far north. II is the invention of

hydro electric plant running through

standing the temperature at times falls
TO 20 degrees below zero. II is so cold

streams have seven feet Of ice over
them and many freeze solid. Never

turn branch of the Klondikc River
into great ditch six miles in length
and drop 1t down upon turbines with
a rail- that would create electricity to
the extent Of 10000 horsepower day in
