44019 The Gospel of the Cigarette. A long lone of 23 wagons unloading at the warehouse of the B+A Tobacco Co. directly in front of the Methodist Episcopal Mission Compound in Peking. This scene is on Hsiao Hsun Hu Tung, our outlet to the Hatamen great street. The gatehouse and front gate of the mission are seen in the background of the picture. 43361 An almost daily view taken from the front gate of our Mission. After having seen the enormous qyantities of cigarettes unloaded at this one warehouse all the past winter it is easy to believe that the motto of the B+A Tobacco Co.: "A cigarette in the mouth of every Chinese man, woman, and child", is being realized. The magnificent gateways of Peking are defaced by the omnipresent cigarette sign. This is the Yung Ting Men gate, at the southern end of Chien Men Street, just south of the Temple of Heaven.
