SHOULD USE THE "CLOWN"
UNION CIGARETTE

j. M. Edmondson, Business Agent
of Bakers Union No. 73, of Louisville,
Kentucky, has the following to say
regarding the union made Clown"
cigarette, manufactured by the Ak
ton Fisher Co.:
Gas Business Agent of the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Local No.
73, l am making special appeal to
the members of Labor Unions to buy
Clown Cigarettes, and my reason for
so doing is that when the Open Shop
drive was on in Louisville, the En-
ployers' Association had succeeded in
inducing the three wholesale bakeries
which we had signed up, to declare
for the Open Shop, and they informed
me that it was their intentions to run
an Open Shop. However, one of our
largest manufacturers, Mr. Wood f.
Axton of the AxtOn-Fisher Tobacco
Co., manufacturing Clown Cigarettes,
in conversation with this wholesale
baker, found out what was their in
tention and induced this man to sign
up with us again. Mr. AXton then
went to other bakers and induced
them to do likewise
"Mr Axton also went to several
other manufacturers who were work
ing union men and making label pro-
ducts, and got them to donate money
towards this drive against the Open
Shop. Night after night, Mr. Axton
furnished trucks and went to the
union meetings, and carried on a
most aggressive fight against the
Open Shop, and the result was that
instead of driving the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers Union out of
existence in Louisville, we increased
our membership very much. l am
making this appeal to Bakery and
Confectionery Workers and union men
generally, to see to it that everyone
uses nothing but a Clown Cigarette,
in order to show our appreciation to
Mr.. Axton.
"While | am a Baker by trade, l
live in Louisville and have worked in
tobacco factories in the past, and |
know something about tobacco, and |
know that the quality of the tobacco
that goes into Clown Cigarettes is
equal, if not superior of that which
goes into any other cigarette made in
America, and certainly if you can cul-
tivate your taste for a scab cigarette,
you can cultivate your taste for an
Honest to God" union made cigar
cite, made under the most ideal con-
ditions that it is possible to make
cigarette under"

the government protects those from

Members G. G.. c.. c..
Plan to Attend
National Convention

Enthusiastic plans are being made
by members Of the Gardiner Girls
Club to attend the National Conven-
ton at Smith College, NORTHAMPTON
The official delegate is Mrs. Bernice
Moores. but present indications show
that there will be six or seven other
members attending. The entire club
mas been divided into two circles, led
by the President, Mrs. Virginia Cur
tbs, and last years president, Miss
Evelyn Harris. Each circle will do
the best they can in the way of rails
ing money, and will arrange all
sorts of affairs. such as food sales,
and will keep the amount that they
make secret, so that the other cir
Gle will not know, and will be%kept
busy keeping up with them.
Every girl who will be able to pay
a part OF her expenses is requested to
give her, name in, and at the end of
the time set, the money made by the
two circles will be pooled together,
and will be used in defraying the ex-
penses of those planning to attend.
Each girl on the Winning side will
be allowed a SOC reduction in dues,
and so every girl in the club is ex-
pected to put in some hard work, and
then the local organization will be
recognized for its good work. At
the last meeting Miss Gladys Gaylord
field secretary of the Massachusetts
League Of Girls Clubs was present,
and gave q talk on the Smith COL
lege Convention, pointing out the
advantages OF the trip.
