When panic seized the girls the passages to the doors were tangled with stools and goods, and the frenzied victims fell over these, preventing escape. It would have taken three hours to empty the three floors of the workroom by fhe single, narrow and flimsy fire-eseape, even if it had been strong enough. The doors to the stairway were locked and across one was a heavy iron bar. They opened inward, and in front of me forty bodies were found. “The same conditions prevail in practically all loft buildings used for factory purposes in this city,” is Marshal Beers’s comment.

A good friend of ours says this is a tactical blunder. “Why tell all your competitors that you are going after their trade?” he writes. “Why not go after it quietly, as an sa advances on the enemy under the cover of night?” This is our answer—we know of no usage of good business which stops us from going in a straight-forward way to all the There was no pistol ment in walked St ebrosasky's contiden rit ne pupil largest In th Jules Debroszsky F Found Dy.) been robbed and killed!" ex- jerk. “Ile was happy ing From Bullet by Early | we t night’ 1 was afraid Morning Customer.

Court clom Every smoker has to buy of some one—of another dealer if not in a United Cigar Store. Necessarily to increase the volume of our business we must draw on the people who have yet to become familiar with our stores. There is nothing unfair or detestable in this—nothing to be ashamed of, nothing that will not bear the light of day. In a way our friend’s allusion to an army is apt, for business in its essence is warfare. It’s not a conflict of arms, or a matching of force—it’s a battle between quality, prices, service and, to a large extent, convenience. Our fight is straight along these lines. Nobody is going to spend his money with us just to encourage us or withhold it just to break us down. We get what we get, we think, because the man who buys in a United Cigar Store receives most for his money. This is the biggest kind of a claim. Make us prove it. Call us to the witness stand—to the counters of our own stores—to offer the necessary proof. Make us face you in open court and make us fish or cut bait. If we fail the worst that has happened to you is to have satisfied yourself that in avoiding United Cigar Stores you have not lost a cent.
