The United Cigar Manufacturers are
putting new plank floor in their large
storage warehouse.
At the auction of the johnson tobacco
warehouse at Westby, N. 81. Bekkedal
bought the building for $500. The
Hanson warehouse was bought by Mar
tin Davidson for $3.50.
After five months operations, w. T.
Pomeroy & Co. closed the sorting rooms
at their warehouse Wednesday. They
have put up large amount of export
goods, besides several hundred cases for
the home trade.
Mr. G. A. Ollie, leaf dealer of Dayton,
Ohio, left for home Wednesday morning
after short stay in this state, during
which he searched the market for old
leaf in company with Harvey Pease.
Nels 3. Nelson is cleaning away the
site of old No. Is, the unlucky building
destroyed By fire, with view of erecting
new tobacco warehouse. It is safe to
say the old number will not be retained.
All the damaged tobacco in the recent
fire at l.. B. earle & Sons warehouse at
GAINESVILLE has been taken over by the in
surance companies, who will settle with
the firm at the Appraised value fixed by
the Understanding over $4,000.
The insurance companies will then at
tempt to realize something from the
salvage and leaves the Carries nothing
but clean stock and their loss fully in
IDENTIFIED.
The business matters of s. L. Johns,
the Hanover, Pa, manufacturer who has
handled large quantities of Wisconsin
leaf in years past have been Strengthened
out and in recent circular announces
that the Johns Brush Cigar Co. will sue
coed to the business of his former fac
tories, five in number. In his circular to
the trade he says: II take pleasure in
announcing to you that I have regained
my health and am now able to discharge
the committee appointed by me on last
December to liquidate my Indebtedness
and have resumed the control of my en-
tire cigar and leaf tobacco business as
formerly, and trust that you will favor
me in the future as you did in the past
with your orders" A. l.. Fisher and son
of GAINESVILLE will continue to represent
the firm in the West.
Twenty acres of broad leaf are being
grown under cloth on the Edmond Ell.
Smith farm at Feeding Hills, Mass. Mr..
Smith planted Sumatra tobacco two
years ago, but last season set out broad
leaf. The lower leaves were picked or
primed, and the upper part of the stalk
was cut the same as tobacco grown in
the open. The crop is said by men who
handle it to be one of the finest ever
grown in the Valley. The expediency of
growing broad leaf under cloth appar-
emily SINNERS down to question wheth-
err the net profits are sufficiently increas-
ed to pay for the extra cost of the tents,
which are, of course, practically insur-
ance against damage by hail or wind

ed between Mr.. Leoni and Mr.. Mickey.

o'clock and post prandial remarks were
called for after the good cigars had been
lighted. All enjoyed delightful time.
