SNUFF BOTTLES HAD
MANY USES
philadelphia Sunday Bulletin)

So now it is the mystery of the
"dots" (pips) on the bottoms of
old snuff bottles (Mrs. Norman
Choyce, North Wales, October g.!
remember, as a lad, few
quilting bees at the homes of
relatives in the rural sections of
Arkansas (saw!), and the concern
of the women over these same
markings on the bottles of Gar
rett Snuff. Very rarely was any
other brand encountered "down
yonder" in those days.)
Anyway, those pips: the stuff
came in SC cans, 10c cans, and
25c bottles, and the popular goods
was the strongest of the three
and that this in turn was graded
according to the number of
dumps" on the bottom of given
bottle. A woman who regularly
consumed three to five pips
strength" was regarded with awe
and admiration. Strange, but my
grandmother Vintage of '53) who
used the bottle Strength, but for
convenience carried her supply in a
reclaimed sc can, never had any
one complain that her snuff was
any strongr than that from fresh
ly opened weak strength" SC can!
AS for the real mission of the pips,
they were-so l later learned-a
mark to identify the manufacturer
of a given bottle or lot. Originally,
perhaps, they had identified the in
dividual bottle blower of Mrs.
Choyce's grandfather's day.
For Mrs. C's information, the
superstition" about the pips on
the bottles was prevalent among
both white and colored. Snuff was
rarely "snuffed" into the nose; it
was either "chewed" Carried in
side the lower lip) or dipped, in
which case the proper implement
was "brush" chewed from knot
at the end of tender black gum
twig.
An empty snuff bottle was just
right for carrying fishing worms;
again, it was prize target for
crack shot, the idea being to face
the open mouth and shoot through
it to knock out the bottom without
disturbing the top, shoulders or
sides.

HAIL TO ALL GOOD sPoRTsMEN!

This paper joins the community in greeting hunters as
the season opens on deer bear and quail, etc.
Visiting hunters, of course bring outside money into
the community That however is not the only to
welcome them cordially.
In general sportsmen mighty likeahe people They
agreeable to get along with they friendly and
to get acquainted with.
Maybe their for the outdoors and their understand
ing of the rules of good craftsmanship have something to do
with their outlook and attitudes Whatever the
generally speaking hunter fisherman pretty fine
fellow, the kind of person you enjoy knowing
Even though hunting means welcome business for the
people in this area we'd like the hunters they didn't spend
a dime.
Those of live help make the hunters
stay pleasant by being friendly and accommodating
It's unlikely that anywhere in the world do sportsmen find
friendlier folk than in this section.
Next to good hunting, nothing works effectively
to bring the sporsmen back after than the
cordially of the people.
We believe hunter from distance will have
think being taken advantage of any way by
local people, When he goes home he'll tell his friends
about the bear he shot, but he'll also give the community
good reputation that will recommend it to others look
ing forward to vacation.
For each hunter, wish the best of good shooting.
We'd like each get his deer his bear his limit
of game And when the goose opens month from
now we'll extend good luck wishes to the sportsmen
who will be here for migratory fowl.

Important TO Local
Presidents Of II. b. 4.

From time to time we have stres-
sed the importance Of presidents not
sending cash money in an ordinary
letter. 1t has been long, long time
since a president has taken chance
and sent his money in this form.
In the December Board, one Of our
local presidents reported to the of
flee that she sent $3.50 in cash mon
ey in a special delivery letter to our
office, however We have not as yet
receiced such letter from this par
! ticlrar president.
Whenever you send money, please
sent it so you can have it traced
should it not reach its destination.
There isn't anything for you 10 work
on when you send a letter as above
mentioned
Nobody has to sign for a special
delivery letter Several years ago,
when a special delivery letter ar
rived at our office somebody had to
sign the postman's record for said
letter, but it isn't so now
1t IS a reflection on the office for
any president to send cash money to
the office. We can tell you that we
did not receive it, but you can think
whatever you wish about the matter,
therefore, for our protection, as well
as yours, we are kindly asking tha
you do not send cash money in m
ordinary letter, even though it is {
special delivery.
Oft times we have letters to g~
lost in transit, but if the remitter
has money order receipt or a pos
tai note receipt, we can have the
letters traced and get duplicates.
Don't take chances and don't get
in too big hurry to send your mon
ey and send it in an ordinary letter.

Until steel becomes available
for new long distance pipelines,
however, underground storage
offers only q partial answer to
supply problems created by the
skyrocketing demand for natural

ture.
There's so much gas available
in the nations known reserves,
l85, OOO,O00,OOO,000 - 1876 trillion
cubic feet of it at the end of
last year.
There's the American steel in
dustry's ability to meet new and
greater demands for its pipe pro-
ducts.
And then-as fas as Ohio Fuel
is concerned and the future po-
tential of underground storage
in Ohio-there'S the Buckeye
States excellent underground
gas-holding formations.
Ohoans first found their natur-
al gas trapped in little or med
ium-sized sand pockets. The gas
ran out in most of those pockets
as Ohioans learned to depend
more and more on the fuel. But
| the structures are still there.
OhiO's gas companies don't have
to worry about quarrying big
storage chambers in limestone
rock-as Illinois companies may
have to door building miles of
underground pipe storage plants
with scarce steel as an Illinois
company has already done.
But there's another, darker
side to the gas situation. That's
the demand side.
Ohio Fuel multiplied the num-
Der Of its heating customers five
times in five years Ohio at the
end of 1850 had more residential
customers using natural gas for
heating than any other state eX-
cept Texas and California. Those
Ohio customers received more
gas for heating than the resi-
/ dents of all other states except
California.
But there's a bigger job ahead.
The same gas industry survey
which showed that Ohio stood
third in the nation in the num-
ber of residential gas heating
customers at the end of 1850 also
showed that Ohio topped all
other states except California in
the number of residential custo-
mers who wanted gas heat.
Ohio Fuel, with about 500 of
its customers using gas for house
heating, must face the possibility
that almost all of the remaining
40 per cent will want gas heat
as long as gas continues to be SO
much cheaper than competitive
| fuels.
Even rate increases may have
little effect on the demand for
gas. Natural gas became we'll
