CIGARETTES HAVE REPLACed CIGARS IN LAST 22 YEARS (Continued from page one) smoked. Cigars still did not lose many of their patrons. The number sold remained about the same. In 1920 cigars climbed, while cigarettes showed a distinct drop from the previous year. Since that time cigars have never again reached the seven billion mark that they attained in 1913. In 1932, 106,632,434,000 "cigs" were passed across the counters of the cigar stores and soda shops to the American people, while only 5,382,723,000 cigars were picked from boxes. As to the other forms of tobacco manufactured?plug, twist, fine cut, smoking, and snuff? there has been a decided slump. Other Forms Decrease The total number of pounds manufactured in 1913 was 442,874,000, while in 1932?three years ago? that figure had dropped to 347,279,000. Here's the way the different cuts stacked up against each other in the first year the figures were given. Plug, 164,338,000; twist, 14,894,000; Fine cut, 10,934,000; Smoking, 220,819,000; Snuff, 32,898,000 pounds. And here's the way the figures looked three years ago: Plug, 61,945,000; Twist, 4,918,000; Fine cut, 3,354,000; Smoking, 190,986,000; Snuff, 35,994,000. / -:- Se tUTC V A ?
