TOBACCO FACTORIES AND WAREHOUSES.

now, either for fumigation, inhalation, or
mastication. it would not do to omit men

houses, especially when the town Is doing
such fine business in this staple, and mas
become noted for the fine brands lnere
manufactured.

is the factory of Mr.. E. T. Pilkinton, at

smoking and chewing tobacco called.
g Fruits and Flowers" The factory Of
Gary s. Brothers is on the corner Of Sixth
and Bainbridge streets, where large
ouantity of tobacco is manufactured, most

Gray's dry stemming factories are locatea
near the corner of Seventh and Balnbrldge
streets, both of which are prosperously
working. Attached to each of these IS Q

little tobacco stored in them at present.
