Twenty ty-seventh street, Camden, and his
wife whose home is at $40 Lincoln Drive,
Germantown, were married on November
16, 1902, by the Rev. Charles Fry, OF Phil
adelphia, williams had been until his mar
rlage, a clerk in a drug store. near the, home
of his brides parents. The couple made

Vice Chancellor Leaning, in granting

These parties it seems to me, are about

HIGHER COST OF CIGARS
NOT DUE TO WAR TAX
Increased Price of Material and
Production Cause of More
Expensive Smokes"

The increased price of materials and pro-
duction, and not 50 mucn the war revenue
tax, have boosted the pr Ce VI your fsvorite
smokes, Philadelphia tobacco dealers con-
tend. There Is also possibility that cigars
which formerly sold FOR five cents may be
raised TO seven or even three for twenty
cents, according to one dealer
Pennsylvania tobacco which I'm former
years sold from nine 90 sixteen cents
pound, Is now twenty-five to twenty-fOur
cents accord ug TO one OF the largest manu-
facturer sof five-ceut cigars in the country
Last year Wisconsin tobacco sold from
twelve and one-half to fifteen cents a
pound, while now IT is selling at from
twenty-five TO tweuty-sN cents a pound
Sumatra tobacco which IS used as n wrap
per FOR cigars, IS now S612 a pound in
Guiding the duty Of Sl.S5. Under normal
conditions u sold from S3.75 TO S425 4
pound, including the duty. Havana tobacco,
it was said has virtually doubled in price,
There also has been An increase in price
FOR printing the labels, and the price Of
labor has advanced, too. Pine cedar, the
wood OF which {. gar boxes are made, is
very hard 70 get, and manufacturers arc at
a loss TO find good substitute.
The retailer in normal times made n
profit Of 'ono and one-quarter cents on
every nNc-Cent cigar sold. His profit now
IS estimated at one and one-half cents. but
it vas pointed out that his expenses have
increased in proportion to his profits.
Raw tobacco used in making cigarettes
has also increased in cost, as have the
paper and tinfol used in wrapping them
The increase in price, II was said by a
cigarette manufacturer today, only allows
a fair profit
The increase in price OF smokes at the
United Cigar Stores IS due largely to the
increased price of production and not Sc
much the war revenue tax, according &c
H. G. Wolf, superintendent of the Philadel-
phia stores.
It was also pointed out by the dealers to-
day that the cigar industry has been the
last one 60 increase prices.

Nine were arraigned on that charge in the

mark.
