GINCO CIGARS NOW BANDED
FOR IDENTIFICATION
Cigar Manufacturers Adopt This
Method to Protect Consumer
Smokers of Clnco Cigars are assured of
getting the genuine article when they now
ask for this popular smoke. Heretofore
there has been no assurance that a cigar
was a Clnco simply because it was sold
out of a Clnco box.
For the protection of the consumer, the
manufacturers of the Clnco, Otto Klsen
lohr & liros., have adopted a form of lilen
tif.catlon by putting on each cigar a band
which Is a guarantee to the Bmoker that
he Is getting a genuine Clnco cigar The
band Is neat and attractive in appearance,
no attempt having been made to sacrifice
the qualltj of the cigar for uu expensive,
showy band. In order to avoid tbe break
ing of the wrapper, which sometimes hap
pens when a smoker attempts to slip a
band off a cigar, a flare Is provided by
which the Cinco band can be easily torn
off.
The Cinco cigar holds first place among
the nationally advertised brands with a
production of nearly 200,000,000 annually.
About 5000 hands are employed in their
factories. These factories are acknowl
edged to be models of their kind in this
country, not only from the standpoint of
manufacturing, but also for their sanitary
conditions and appointments for the com
fort of their employes.
The fact that all tobaccos used by this
