C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, August 14.—Thou sands of American merchants and business men today are giving cus- tomers something for nothing and get- tng value received for it. How? With matches Sales of approximately 50,000,000 cards of paper matches have been consummated in the lasf two weeks. These cards of paper matches, which are seldom sold at retail, are having a marked influence on a number of big industries, among them advertising Hundreds of millions of cards are being given away to customers and patrons annuall and the custom is srowing, according to manufacturers. Practically every one of them carries an advertising message of some kind which comes before the eyes of a sible customer each time he or strikes a match. The return from such distribution comes both directly and in. Often merchants who have distribution buy the matches them @elves and sell the advertising space on one side to some other company, us- ing one side to call attention to their own wares. Free Supply to Retailers. Manufacturers in some cases buy matches advertising their product and them free to their retallers. | | W Liverpool Prices Steady. LIVERPOOL.

The match men agree, however, that the growth of smoking among women has done much to popularize the paper match. They say women do not like to carry loose matches in a handbag that they have few pockets and still desire means of lighting a cigarette.
