CIGAR SMOKERS
- Here ore The Reasons

Early last year we told our dealers and you smokers,
pretty Soon You Won't Have Accept Substitutes for
p1IEs At that time we felt certain that as production
increased would before the years end be able to give
smokers all the pHI1LIEs they desired.
Now we feel it only fair to explain why dealers can't
get all the PHILIEs they SELL and smokers can't buy
all the PHlLLIEs they want
Here Are the Reasons
In January and February we produced $40 more
PHIILIEs than during the same months in 1916,
yet this increase of millions is far short of
present demand.
While the shipments of PH1ILIEs are spproach-
ing the high production of prewar years, there are
two reasons which have kept from giving our
regular smokers all the PHIIL1Es they want.
Reason No.1
During the war more PHnL1Es were shipped over.
seas to our fighting men than any other cigar. As
result, these young men learned to enjoy cigars
through the quality of PHILLIEs. When they re-
turned to civilian Life, millions continued their
preference for PHILLIEs and result, absorb
ing proportion of our supply greatly in excess of
that on which we had counted.
Reason No. z
During the war and reconversion period, when
dollar not important as it is today, millions
of civilians felt the price they paid for cigars
trivial matter. AS result, the market flooded
with cigars selling at truly fantastic prices Cigars
selling at 15t, 1st, 22t, 25t, for $1.00 were
common sight in dealers cases. Gradually smokers

learned that they did not receive from these cigars
the value and satisfaction they felt they had right
to expect.
Consequently over the last six months smokers
have decided that the standard old-time leaders
among cigars, such PH1ILIEs, give them the
quality, value and enjoyment they had expected and
not found in the high priced, nondescript brands
many of which were never heard of before the war
and will never be heard of again.
Experience has proved to these smokers that in
PHI1L1Es and other standard brands, they find tho
quality and enjoyment they want. We had not ex.
pected this type Of smoker 70 return to their old
favorite cigars 20 quickly. To-day, this class of
smoker is taking considerable part Of the io-
creased supply Of PH11IEs
These are the two reasons why, in spite Of
greatly increased production, we cannot supply
you dealers all the PHILLIEs you sell, and why
you smokers can't always get PHILLIEs in as many
stores As you wish.
Even We PHILLIEs
Ne Coming
Our plants could begin turning out tomoow, SOB more

period Of time necessary prepare eobaooos properly
and condition them through the exclusive pEnLlBs proc

Court Clerk Preston Knapp said
the suit had been disputed by
Mary Jane on grounds that Mac
Kinnon was not a bona fide resi-
