transfer has yet been made. The fac

and is now engaged On it's special brands
of long and plug cut. These brands are
growing in public favor and are fast
supplanting the "granulated goods. "
There are some good voices among the
operatives in this factory, and the music
made by them while they work is simply
delightful.
