Tobacco dealers have taken cognizance
of the war tax and its effect on their
merchandise and at a recent meeting OF
the retailers it was decided to atlix an ex-
ira charge to cigars, cigarettes, plug to-
bacco and tins of smoking tobacco. The
new price list, which is to become effee-
tive Monday is similar to a schedule
adopted by some of the dealers and un-
successfully used before the war tax be-
came operative. Now, however, the re-
taiIers say that they have real reasons
for jumping tobacco prices and they be-
lieye that the new price agreement will
be permanent Under the new schedule,
20, u, 10, Is and 30 are numerals with
which the tobacco user must familiarize
himself. as the old prices of 5, 10, ID and
% are abandoned. Even cigarette papers
are included in the jump. Tobacco deal
ers, wholesale and retail. are hit rather
hard by the next tax and in some in
stances the jobber's price per package has
jumped to the price formerly paid by
the consumer.
