Up Ito this tUne cigarettes had been sold onl at Uie rate of one cent each and tt ..was all that Mr. . I. B. Puke could . do ia Induce his, partners to accept the new departure.; H;. . t. .

Thn-e were no bonds issued by this first com pany. ' Mr. Duke soon grew-weary of limit otl xwer confined to the monopoly of the cigarette industry, determined to get control of the plug tobacco industry. With this aim In vitw, his company began the manufacture of plug tobac co. This branch Lof the American '1 bai'cd Company -was called the Nation al Tobacco works and its principal out put was the "Battle ' Ax band, tliat simply played havoc with the plujf trude. The trand was rightly named for Its appearance on the market meant war to the bitter end. Fortune still favored Mr. Puku and so in W5, h xuvceasfully combined a iiuiiiIjit of plug tobacco tiruvi . whose combined output practically placed , the other . uianuactuJ-erS; jt h;ls, Jnpr$y. i . , . It is another story full of interest -to tell how these independent nianiifac-turr-fSi-vften against their will, and of ten without their knowllge, were led to become component parts of the plug truut. Those who followed the strate gy of that campaign will recall how, when the final show dpwit came, the combination gotten together to light the Duke-interests, proved to be only a stalking horse used by Mr. puke himself. ' - Thla section combination was tits Continental Tobacco Company, incor porated under the laws of New Jersey, on Peccmber ,U898. Mr. Puke was elected president of the company and was the controlling power. Thd firms who originally made Up ' this trust were as follows: Pruinmond Tobacco Company, of Stv Louis; P. iAirtllard Company, of Jersey City: Na tional Tobacco Works, of L,otiis-vilU-'iJohn Flnaer & Brothels Com pany, of Louisville; I'.

In the face of this bad showing a- band of public-spirited individuals, with Mr. J. B.

If Is Just ta easy to make the harige-r so that nbnftlng may be easily put up Rtid taken down aa It ! to so design them as to make them difficult. We make all our bearings, seir-olllng. This Is a valuable feature. Who ePuld deny that It Is better to put sufficient oil In a hollow base of a bearing to hist six months and then hot he bothered about It again, than to have the old way of squirting oil on It every two or three hours and besides the troubl, generally hfcVlng a mess also? By careful oiling of our hearings once in three to sis months, according to the work, we get the very best results snd we never have a sloppy mess of oil on the floor or on the machinery or on the cloth or whatever else we are making.

With these three types we are able to supply till demands, except for ma chines of the Corliss type. We haven't said much about engines lately for the reason that we haven't been able to supply the demands that come to its without any advertising.
