Tallahassee. Oct 23.-The plan
suggested to the Tallahassee Chamber
of Commerce by r. Griffin Johnson,
one of TaIlahassee'S most successful
real estate dealers, and a live mem
Der of that organization, that the to-
bacco men of Leon should combine
and establish a cigar factory here, is
meeting with general approval. The
tobacco planters of cambridge and
AttapulgUs, Ga, and Havana and
Quincy. Fla, have resorted to this
expedient to keep their tobacco crops
from being sacrificed 70 the greed of
the tobacco trusts, and are finding it
a most satisfactory solution to their
problem.
For Tallahassee this plan would be
easeir than for most towns as there
are already at least $50 experienced
cigar makers here, recently thrown
out OF employment by the removal Of
the FL Provedo factory to Tampa.
Mr.. A Wahuish. an expert in the
handling of tobacco and the manu-
faCture of cigars, is Of the opinion
that the carrying out of Mr.. JOhnsOn's
suggestion would mean wealth to the
tobacco men of Leon. He assures
them that they would be able to put
on the market an excellent ive-cent
cigar. the sale Of which would give
them d good profit for their tobacco,
besides an extra profit on the manu-
factuTe of the cigars.
This tobacco is OF mild and fine
quality and susceptible or being ia
vOred. if fiavoTing should be desired,
The matter is being taken into serious
consideration, and the prospects are
that Leon county cigars will soon be
on the market
