Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1906 — Destroy Empty Cigar Boxes. [ARTICLE]

Destroy Empty Cigar Boxes.

Few merchants are aware of a new law which went into effect in August. Heretofore it has been customary to scratcli the stamp on a cigar box, and if so desired give the box away or do with it as he should see fit so long as the stam£ was destroyed. But this iS ho' longer the case. The merchant or dealer must destroy the bo* immediately after the cigars are gbnC. He must at once remove the box from the case and break it up. The law may sound a little queer, but be sure that it is heeded or you will be caught’ before you know it.
