NICKEL SMOKE PASSING.

That 1917. in all probability, will bring
an increase in the price OF cigars. and
possibly the passing of the nickel
smoke" are predictions made by cigar
manufacturers in Harrisburg and other
nearby places, in reviewing the big in
crease in the cost of cigar production.
Standard flve-cent cigars may not ad-
vance. 1t was said, but an increase will
be almost a necessity local manufac-
turers said. If the present quality is to
be maintained: Increased cost of labor
and cost of raising the tobacco are the
principal reasons given in explaining
the possibility of advancing prices.
