Stogies to Be Raised
Special to The Telegraph
Pittsburgh, April I.—The Pittsburgh
"toby" may soon boast a red band
about its middle and an increase in
price as well.
One tobacconist said to-day that he
understood the price would be in
creased from $19.50 to ?27 per 1,000
on one particular brand. That would
make the price to the consumer 10
cents for three instead of 5 cents for
two. It was stated, too, that the man
ufacturers planned to adorn the higher
priced stogies with a band.
There are as many brands of stogies
in Pittsburgh as there are types of
colonels in Kentucky. A smoker has
an unlimited choice and some dealers
believe If this particular firm raises
the price it will injure its trade.
