Factor i'm Politics.

The paper match seems destined to
play most important part in poll
tics. To certain extent they have
supplanted or supplemented the for.
merly omnipotent campaign button.
At the time of the last Democratic
convention New York was flooded
with matches carrying an appeal 10
nominate Al Smith for President.
They are likely to be used extensively
in the mayoralty campaign here. and
few municipal elections in the big
cities are without them.
Manufacturing jewelers. have recog-
nized the trend and have made metal
cases to contain the paper folders by
the thousands in gold, silver and less
expensive metals. Furniture manu-.
facturers, pottery and glass men and
novelty manufacturers have taken
similar steps to meet the demand.
Wholesale and retail grocers in the
larger cities do not sell as many
matches as formerly. but they say
they more than make up for this
through the use they make of their
distributive systems.
