TOBACCO PLANT REMOVAL.
Pittsburg's Loss on Account of High
Freight Rates

Definite announcement Is made by the
American Tobacco Company that the big
Weyman factory in Duquesneway, one or
the landmarks OF Pittsburg in the tobacco
industry. will be a thing of the past so far
as that city is concerned after January j.
1866. The extensive buildings occupied by
the company and which have for so long
housed thousands of people engaged in the
preparation OF snuff and tobacco, will be
deserted, the business will be transferred
to Chicago, and new factory will be built
there which will supplant the Pittsburg
concern.
One of the chief causes for the removal
of the works to Chicago is said to be the
high freight rates charged from Pittsburg
to the chief markets for the products OF
this factory, which are In the northwest.
