said George ]. Whelan in May 1872 he landed from
the Lusania after fourmonths trip in England. Dur
Ing this trip the cables kept and his interests
in United Cigar Stores very increased as the
decision Of the Supreme Court dissolved its connection
with the American Tobacco Co.
In June, 1912, Dow Jones E. Co. and The Wall

But the interesting feature Of the organization
is that the United Cigar Stores becomes only branch
