for fifty years controlled 

 by Spanish export trade in 

 Porto Rico were secured by J. H. 

 Lucke and Company for Ameri- 

 can consumption at one-sixth cost 

 of inferior Cuban leaf. It is shipped 

 across the Gulf in Cargoes of 500 

 bales, unloaded at New Orleans 

 and freighted to the extensive 

 factories of Lucke & Co., at Cincinnati. 



Some 2000 hand-work people are there busy produc- 

 ing hand-made " imported cigars'' at less than it cost 

 (owing to improved facilities) to make them in Porto Rico for 

 Spanish trade, or to make them in Spain from leaf received raw 

 from Porto Rico. 



The Spanish like a cigar of pronounced richness of flavor, and the enormous sales of Cuban Yuelta, 

 in the States, prove that millions of Americans do, also. 



When Cuban Vuelta was raised to almost prohibitive prices by American demand, nobody but the 

 wealthiest classes in Spain could smoke it. 



Popular Spanish favor then turned to this particular Porto Rican growth .which vou get in the 

 Lucke Rolled Cigar. It was the popular substitute for Vuelta. It gives a rich, able-bodied, satisfying 

 smoke.

The Western Gas Engine Co. requests 

 me to correct an error which appeared in 

 their ad. in May Recreation. It was 

 there incorrectly stated that the cut shown 

 was from a photo of their "Recreation" 

 launch. The cut really represents one of 

 their 25-foot racing launches, as will be 

 seen by consulting their catalogue.
