President VIM. Ker, Of the Mckee COM
pany, left for Portland Monday to make
the necessary arrangements for starting a
cigar factory on the Mckee. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago Mr.. Ker,
as an experiment, had some Of the Mckee
tobacco, Of the crop Of ~, made up into
cigars. Some Of these were sent east and
were 80 highly appreciated that orders
for number Of thousand were received.
This has induced Mr.. Ker TO take the
present step. The crop Of 'SS is pro
nounced fully rs per cent. better in quality
than that Of 81, owing to experience and
knowledge gained in the growing, and
experts claim that cigars made from this
tobacco will excel any made from domes-
tic leaf. A sweating machine has already
been received. and Mr.. Ker, while in
Portland, will place the contracts ior
boxes and labels, and secure competent
hands to do the manufacturing.
