Chapter IV
“But doesn't it impair your trade to run on in this wild, reckless way about your cigars?” “It may at first, but not after awhile. I always tell people what my cigars are made of, and then they can't blame me; so, after awhile they get to believe what I say about them. I often wonder that no cigar man ever tried this way before. I do just the same way about my lunch counter.
