OF travelling statesmen cmpIoved is oycr
2oo' and they go TO every nook and
corner Of the United States The com
pany buys raw material in every
prominent market in the country. and
uses every class Of leaf tobacco known
except that which is used exclusively
IN the manufacture Of cigars
The manufacture Of tobacco in tho
most hyglcnic manner is and has been
the study of this company. ana in a
stroll through the vast plant could
but be struck with the success which
has followed the efforts. There is a
general system OF cleanliness on every
floor that would do justice 10 mode,
home. The handling OF the weed by
hand has been, as outlined above, re-
duced to the minimum. Automatic
conVeyors take the leaf 10 the brush
ing machines where, by an ingenious
process, every leaf is brushed and
cleaned. After this brushing and
cleaning the tobacco drops into an.
other convcyor and is carried TO the
sweeteninS machines. where the sweet
eninG is applied automaticaily. there
by insurine a uniformity and clean
illness impossible By the old-,lme
method: and thus with the idea OF
cleanliness always paramount the to-
bacco is conveyed automatical!y from
one machine to another, throughout
nearly the entire process Of nanufac-
ture.
The buildings are equipped with au-
tomato sprinkiers which not only FUR
nish water for hysicn.r purposes. But
render the plant really frcproof These
sprinklers are SO arranged that when
the temperature at any point In the
plant goes above a certain degree The
cap on the sprinkler mclts. thus an
aiding the water to flow. 1t IS claim
ed that Il fire could not start in any
nook or corner of the entire plant
without being drenched with water in
few seconds. When the cap mclts
and the water begins to flow grea,
fire pump In the boiler room Is put in
motion and this supplies all OF the
needed water

about him and trained little army
of associates and assistants, all or
