Quality Brinja Success.
When in St. Louis our representative
called on the F. R. Rice Mercantile Cigar
Co., and was courteously received and
shown through their large Cigar Factory.
It was a pleasure to sec the hundreds ol
igarmakers making all cigars absolutely
by hand, no molds or machinery used in
the factory. One of the striking features
in this factory is the fine body of work
men and the cleanliness that one sees all
through the factory. In the basement the
firm carry the Havana tobacco which they
import yearly from Cuba direct and winch
is specially selected by W. C. Schutz, who
visits the Island for that purpose, so that
the firm not only havo tue very best ol
work, but thev also buy the very finest
tobacco that tlie Island produces. After
seeing the factory one is not surprised
that many thousands of the "Mercantile”
are sold during the year.
This firm also manufacture a number ol
five-eent brands of cigars, their leaders
being the ‘'305” and tbs “Ageut.” Our
representative asked how many "300" and
“Agents” they manufactured last year,
ami was told that their output on those
two brands of tive-cent cigars was ovei
twenty-five million. Kvery box of cigar*
that tins firm turns out has a card placed
in the game, calling the attention of the
smoker to the fact that tiis Loose sells
their goods absolutely on a quality basis,
that they do no circus or bill board adver
tising. give no free deals nor have anv
other kind of schemes, but see how mucli
quality they can put in the cigar, so that
they will please the consumer, who docs
not care for all the other items but does
want the most and best smoke be can
possibly get for bis money, and the firm
stated that since they have adopted th -
quality system, their trade hag grown from
year to year, and while they are only
-r making a small profit selling goods on
mi h a basis, the enormous quantity that
they'are turning out, is bringing them the
desired'results.
