It has been unusual in the past
few years to see smokers rolling
their own cigarettes from packaged
tobacco, a familiar scene in Hoover
days. But the war has brought

to get the more popular brands in {

many months, but it appeared that
stockpiles were at their lowest ebb
last week.
We were told that one man had

would forbid such a transaction.
