              St. Louis, January 2d, 1880.

DEAR SIR:
      We have the pleasure to present you with
tthis, our newly revised Telegraph Cipher, and trust
-that it may be found convenient and covering the
expressions most needed for transactions in Ameri-
can Tobacco, at home and abroad.
    Thankingf our friends for past favors, and hop-
ing for a continuance thereof, we invite the atten-
tion of manufacturers and dealers to our market,
and solicit their correspondence.
    The Warehouse capacity .here is large and
charges are very reasonable.
    Owing to the competition of railroad and river
routes, our shipping facilities are good, and for for-
eign ports through Bills of Lading are obtainable.
    Thanking you to preserve this cipher and to
use it when occasion for telegraphing offers, we are,

               Yours very truly,

                     ADOLPHUS MEIER & CO.

Our cable address is:

Adolphtis,
