He would refer to “my” house, “my” table, “my” piano, “my” boy, “my” room. His wife took him to task with some asperity and pointed out that the use of, the possessive was derogatory to her and that he GRIFFIN WOMAN IS BESIEGED BY CALLS; WANT AD IS CAUSE Want ads are result getters. And sometimes disturbers. A prominent Griffin woman in* sorted an ad yesterday for a house to rent and said today she was besieged with inquiries. In an hour after the paper was out they called until late at night and were at the telephone early this morning. There were calls over the phone all day an*d the good woman left home to get a little rest. And while she was gone the cook had to^take her seat at the phone. “Gracious,” said the servant, “They sure do want homes in Griffin. t* Just another instance of what a few lines will do in the classi fied columns of The News. should say “our.” He was duly attentive. One morning the preacher rose early and began to dress. Appar ently he was unable to find some thing. U What are you looking for, John 1” asked his wife. U I’m looking for our trousers, my dear,” he said, meekly. Facts About Taxes on Cigarettes w E rail particular attention to the statements made in the advertisement adjoining tins editorial column. This advertisement, the purpose of which is to win new friends for Lucky Strike cigarettes, incidentally em phasizes the matter of high taxes on cigarettes. To those who are intimate with such matters there is, of course, no sur prising statement made. To the general public, though, we believe it. will %ie surprising to learn that nearly half of what they pay /< 'iyfrettea goes to the government for ’axes. The internal revenue stamp cn r. package of twenty Lucky Strike cig arettes costs you six cents. On a tin of one hundred the revenue ssamp ! costs you thirty cents. | So nearly fifty cents out of every dollar you spend for cigarettes i -1 spent by you for taxes. This is certainly the heaviest tax on an article of daily and universal consumption. The Tobacco Industry and Taxes The aggregate tax paid by the tobacco business is with one exception. income taxes,, the largest item of in ternal revenue the federal govemmenl receives. Last (fiscal) year it amounted to $309,014,05034. Of this enormous amount, of money the cigarette industry' paid $182,715,- 735.93. or nearly two-thirds of the business. total tax paid by the entire tobacco The immediately important point of the foregoing is the following: vYe believe you will appreciate that, when nearly fifty conte of every dollar paid by you for cigarettes goes to the gov ernment, you must receive in cigar ettes a value in ret urn for your money that is rarely given in any commodity. That the public generally appreci ates this gTeat value is shown by the enormous increase in the consumption of cigarettes. ............____ _ __ Our reasons for'this . tax free offer We know this offer induces men to try Friends.” Lucky Strikes—-it “Wins New We know that .a large percentage ; of those who get acquainted with I Lucky This Strikes adopt them.
