CIGARETTES TO Be
MADE AT THE FAIR
Product Will Be Distributed
Among Crowds After
Manufacture

Among the many interesting and in
structive industrial exhibits TO be seen
at the Alabama State Fair, October
3-12, will be complete cigarette fac
tory. Negotiations were closed ycster-
day for this exhibit with one of he larg-
est cigarette manufactures in the world.
Millions of this product are made, sold
and consumed every day and here are
but very few people who know how
they are made. The study Of the plant
will be an interesting one 10 people CT
Alabama, especially among those who al e
beginning to cultivate tobocco as their
new staple.
From the cutting, shredding and prim-
Ing OF the tobacco. to the boxing ard
sealing of the finished article, the work
will be in plain view of everyone who Wis
its the fair. Each step will be carefully
explained by the man in charge of the
exhibit
Every specimen of cigarette known will
be manufactured at this exhibit; Turkish
and Egyptian, gold and cork tipped.
American and all brands will be put for
ward. After the cigarettes are made,
they will be distributed among the crowds
and there is no doubt but that there
will be many calls for them. They stated
in closing the deal that they would not
stint themselves on tobacco and, other
material but would make cigarettes on
the fair grounds as long as there was
anyone there to see and smoke them.
The Alabama State Fair is the first fair
In the south to close with a cigarette fac
tory for such an exhibit and is the only
fair in the south that will have suoh an
exhibit this wear.

The above narrative is simply one of

be affected by other diseases than

All cases of Brights disease begin
with catarrh of the kidneys. This
being true, and 1t also being true that

that a great many cases of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna.
