An Expert Observer on the Manufacture of
Chewing Tobacco.


An expert observer on the manu-
facture of chewing tobacco claims
| that it is the planters process OF fue-
curing, producing and developing the
stimulating flavor and bouquet of the
tobacco grown on certain lands in the
Piedmont tobacco belt, which popu-
larizes the chewing tobacco habit.
r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's
factories are located in the famous
Piedmont fue-cured tobacco belt, the
finest chewing tobacco section known
to the world. This kind of tobacco
requires less sweetening to please
chewers than any other tobacco
grown. The company's location en-
ables it to- secure the choicest selee-.
tions OF this iue-cnred leaf, which
are manufactured under the personal
supervision of men who have made
the selecting and blending Of this
particular kind of tobacco for chew
ing purposes their life study.
The Reynolds plants for the manu-.
facture of Sehnapps and other of it's
brands OF chewing tobacco, are OPP
Grated largely by machinery, in the
most hygienie manner, and reveal. a
system of cleanliness that would do
credit to q model household. The
old adage Of s'too many cooks holds
good IN tobacco manufacturing. The
company has reduced the handling of
tobacco to a minimum. Automatic
conveyors take the leaf to the brush
ing machines Especially invented for
the Reynolds Company, where, by an
ingenious process, every leaf is
brushed and cleaned. After this brush
Ing and cleaning, the tobacco drops
into another conveyer and is carried
to the sweetening machines, where the
sweetening is applied automatically,
thereby insuring a uniformity and
cleanliness impossible by the ordinary
method; and thus, with the idea Of
cleanliness always paramount, the
tobacco is conveyed autom aticallv
from one machine to another, through
out nearly the entire process of manu-
facture.
The pleasant and Appealing aroma
of the tobacco leaf used, and the
clearly methods of manufacturing
have caused visitors to the company's
factories to experience their first de-
sire to chew tobacco.
Letter to GottIeib Wild, Donaldsonyille, La.
Dear SRA pound of good meat
and no bone is worth more than a half
pound Of meat and a half-pound of |
bone; but there are, as you say, q |
great many people who WON'T pay
more than a certain price by the |
pound. Give 'em bone; that's right; |
give 'em plenty of bone!
There are people who won't pay |
more than $3.50 gallon for paint;
give 'em bone!
There's no better school than ex-
perience; cost is high; but the lesson
is never forgotten.
Let man paint two houses alike,
same size; one Devoe, the other that I
ST. so paint. He buys 10 gallons of
each, and pays s. day for labor-$3
a day is 50 gallon, easier reckoning.
He has to buy two gallons more OF
the 81. 80 paint; and has two gallons
left of Devoe; II gallons S1.50, S1S; 8
gallons S1.75, 81; 81 more for tcheap''
paint.
He pays So a gallon for painting: 8
gallons s24; y gallons S36; Sl2 more
for painting cheap paint.
He'll buy the less-gallon paint after
that. It people are slow to Learn, it's
because they keep on buying bone
meat. Give 'em plenty Of bone.
Yours truly,
Il. w, DEVOE & CO.

P. s.-M. & Il. Augustin, New Or
leans, sell our paint.
