thcro has been no assurance that a cigar
was a Clnco simply because It was sold
out of a Clnco box.
For the protection of tho consumer, tho
manufacturers ot tho Clnco, Otto Eisen
lohr & Bros., have adopted a form of Iden
tification by putting on each cigar a band
which Is n Buarantco to tho smoker that
he Is Rotting a genulno Clnco cigar. Tho
band Is neat nnd attractive In appearance,
no attempt having been made tn sacrifice
tho quality of the cigar for an expensive,
Bhowy band. In order to avoid tho break
ing of the wrapper, which sometimes hap
pens when n smoker attempts to slip a
band oft a cigar, a flare Is provided by
which tho Clnco band can bo easily torn
off.
Tho Clnco cigar holds first place among
the nationally advertised brands with n
production of nearly 200,000,000 annually

manufacturing, but nlso for their sanitary
conditions and appointments for tho com

Tho fact that all tobaccos used by this
firm In the manufacture of their cigars are
purchased direct from tho growers In this
country, Cuba and Holland In Immense
quantities enables them to maintain a
uniform quality In tholr goods, which
otherwise could not be accomplished.
While machinery has been largely In

making of cigars, Elsenlohr & Bros, havo
