BIG TOBACCO EXHIBIT
To be Made at the Atlanta Expositi,
in 1895.


| in 1895.
| ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 20.-Represen-
! tatives of many of the greatest tobac-
co establishments in America assem-
| bled today in Atlanta for the purpose
of taking preliminary steps toward
the inauguration of the most elabo-
rate display OF the tobacco resources
OF this and other countries ever seen
| in the world. The movement was in
augurated few weeks ago through
correspondence of leading tobacco
men. With the Cotton States and In
| ternational Exposition of Atlanta,
which is to be thrown open in the fall
of 1885,
The tobacco men say that no expo
sitiOn has ever given this great indus
try the recognition warranted by the
richness OF this resource, which ranks
second among the staples products OF
this country. The effort to secure an
independent building at the Worlds
Fair at Chicago failed, and such of
the tobacco industry as was exhibited
was scattered in various places. 1t
was likewise at the Centennial at
Philadelphia. Leading tobacco men
have conceived the idea of exhibiting
in Atlanta in a separate building, the
most elaborate display of the tobacco
industry that has ever been made, and
great enthusiasm characterized to-
days conference.
After full discussion Of the mat
ter, the tobacco men unanimously
adopted a resolution requesting the
directors of the exposition to erect
separate building for the display of
the worlds tobacco industry. They
assured the hearty cooperation not
mi aPf hn l,,N
OF the trade generally to the end of
| making in Atlanta next year the most
elaborate display Of the tobacco indus
try ever had in the history of exposi-
tiOns.
1t had been originally contemplate
ed that the tobacco men should un-
dertake themselves TO arrange for the
erection Of their own building, but at
| today's conference the exposition di-
| rectors assured them that they would
erect without expense to the tobacco
| industry, an independent building to
| be used for this display, provided the
| assurance was extended that the to-
bacco men would make a fitting ex-
| hibit of this great product. The res
OlutiOn of the tobacco men accepts
| this suggestion, and the board OF Di-
rectors Of the exposition this after
noon ratified it.
