GOMPERS
CIGARS MADE
In 1O-CENT SIZE
Local Labor Produces This
Popular Brand, as Well
as the Five-C Cent Cigar
Previously Announced.

The Montana Labor News was in
formed this week that the Cigar Max
ers' Cooperative Association expects
to start production of their new prod
uct, the Samuel Gompers Memorial
Brand, a 10-cent cigar, by February l.
This cigar, as has been stated before
in these columns, will be made of the
finest tobaccos ~obtainable at any price,
by 100 per cent union labor, and by
Montana labor. The product will be
sold in every state in the union and
will, wherever possible, be made by
local workmen. This, together with
the fact hat the quality is identically
the same wherever made, serve to
make it to the interest of every union
man in the country to give this cigar
and its companion, the Samuel Com
pers Scent cigar, his whole-hearted
support.
That the union men of Butte and
Montana have fully appreciated this
is attested by the reception hat has
been given the Samuel Gompers Scent
cigar. Since first being introduced
in this territory during the early part
of November, this cigar has attained
a remarkable sale, and the demand
is increasing daily. Inquiries are com
ing in daily from all part of Mon
tana, Idaho, and even Utah, which
goes to show that union men in this
territory are interested enough in a
purely union product to ask their deal
er for it and to boost it to their
friends. This is what goes to make
Union Labor the power it is conceded
to be in the economic life of the coun-
try. AS long as union men will stick
together and patronize only other
union men, Labor is and will be in
vincible.
This and the fact that the Cigar
Makers Cooperative Association has
in the Samuel Gompers line a cigar
the quality of which cannot be equaled
at anywhere near the Scent price,
make this a product of supreme con
Germ to union men everywhere, as
well as to men who appreciate the
best in a cigar.
Production of these cigars is now
being carried on in 1875 factories in
all parts of the United States, and
this number is to be appreciably in
creased in the near future. Reports
from New York City and Philadelphia
indicate that an effort is being made
by me manufacturers in those locali-
ties to place their product on every
cigar case in those great cities. This
is being done rapidly by reason of the
cooperation being given by other Ia
Dor organizations, who are taking a
real interest in this project. Labor
univns of other crafts are appointing
committees to work with the label
committees of their own n other or
CARNATIONS, and these committees re-
port gratifying response by Union La
Dor as a whole, as well as by the deal
e1s who are stocking this product.
These reports are icing duplicated in
all of the major cities of the country
and results are said to have ever sur
passed the expectations of the most
optimistic.
The Louis S. Cohn Company, who
ere now distributing the Samuel Com
pers line in the states of Montana
and Idaho, are meeting with very
pleasing results in their efforts 10
place this cigar in every town in
these two states. The demand for this
product is increasing every day. A
member of their sales organization
yesterday said: "We can't speak too
highly of the cooperation being given
us by labor organizations and their
