1t is generally understood that the con-
cern has more or less complete organic
connection with the allied tobacco trusts
Tho Continental Tobacco Company and
the others. It deals In stems, manufac-
turing therefrom nicotine, tobacco extract
for sheep dip and ground stems for fer
tillzer. BY virtue of Its association with
the trust 1t enjoys great advantage over
the competing independent concerns.
When stems become scarce the latter suf-
fer: the Kentucky Company has a con-
slant source OF supply from the great
corporations. Tt operates In the open
market and sells Its product In various
parts OF the world, but much probably
the major portion. of 1t goes to the Caro-
ilina-Chemical Company which has Its
headquarters in this city.
The site selected for the Richmond
branch Is Just below the Cedar Works
Adjoining the Webb Chemical Coropnny
there, as n part OF the property OF that
company. is a large lot measuring go by
800 feet, admirably adapted to the needs
of the new establishment. This lot has

will begin as soon as possible. and Il will
bo rushed to completion. Everything will
probably be finished within the next five
months.
Just what sort of tkuilding 1t will be
cannot now be said. 1t will be of brick:
however, and will be large. The cost will
BIZ about 100000. and possibly more. The
branch will be the largest of the conf
pany outside of Louisville and Is eS-
pected to be every bit as big as the home
plant itself, Quite n number of employees,
though how many Is not yet known. will
be engaged, Besides this feature. the
establishment OF the factory hers will
be an advantage to the city In that,
among other things. It will create more
brisk competition on the market for
