advertised the shrewd ways of the people of Connecticut. A man recently
made a hit by the “imitation cigar,” which is only a piece of wood of
the shape and color of a cigar. Every boy wants one. As an advertising

as a cigar, get up an imitation for the children, have your enterprise
stamped upon it, and it will go from one end of the land to the other.
