"Got a match?"
How many times a day Is that flota
tion asked 4a these United Stalest
How many mora times Is the question
unnecessary because most pockets art
kept well supplied with the useful
little article? Anyhow, Inasmuch as it
Is estimated that there are 80,OOQ,OQ9
tobacco users In the country, we would
guess that the answer to that question
would run into the hundreds of mil
lions.
For If It weren't for the smokers ia
these days of electric lights how many
matches would be used? A pretty
small proportion of the number of
these "sticks of blaze" produced In
the country every year. Abolish to
bacco and the match business would be
shot to pieces.
But the match business Is only one
of a dozen or more allied Industries
.which derive large revenues directly of
jlndlrectly from the tobacco trade and
wuuiu suiier neavuy 11 national pro
hibition of tobacco were to go Into
jeffect as some of our reformers would
jbave it. The annual sales of tobacco
Products, based on retail prices, is es
timated at 11,987,000,000. Of the cost
of producing and selling this quantity
of cigars, cigarettes and other forma
of the weed, some hundreds of million
dollars are paid out for other things
than the raw tobacco and labor of
making it up.
125,000,000 a Yean f oi-Boxes
. For example, the tobacco trade con
sumes each year 45,000,000 pounds -of
licorice, 50,000,000 pounds of sugar,
both used in flavoring tobacco, and
650,000 tons of coal. It is estimated
that the value of wooden cigar boxes
used la 125,000,000 a year, quite an
hem to the lumber business and to
manufacturers of the boxes. "
' In making these' boxes 550,000
pounds of sails are employed. Other
large items used In making and pre
paring tobacco for sale are tin and
lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette
wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, la
bels, coupons, etc., Involving the print
ing trade extensively.
Then building contractors and manu
facturers of machinery are largely in
terested. : Investments in plants and
machinery employed In manufactur
ing tobacco re estimated at $102,000,-
000. Replacement, up-keep and inter
est on the investment make no small
.sum annually.
And let realty .men note there are
approximately 823,000 tobacco farms
.In .the country,' with a total estimated
vafua?.$ of $160,000,000. Of further in
terest to real estate men is the fact
that there are 700,000 retail establish
ments selling tobacco, involving a total
rental and up keep Impossible to esti
mate, besides the large amount of of
fice space occupied vby administrative
branches of the general business.
The Insurance men, too, have their
share of the "pickings. The tobacco
business pays out annually $7,00$000
