CIGAR co. DOES
GOOD BUSINESS

The Havsflorida Cigar Company
has opened its factory at the corner
of Baylen and Chase streets and is
now in operation. The plant has been
newly equipped and has a capacity of
5000 cigars a day. The corporation
was recently organized by John N.
Day, A. M. Avery, Jr., and ]. G. Clark,
everything has been in readiness for
commencing manufacture, but the IL
cense and number papers were late in
arriving.
Mr.. Day stated yesterday that
many special orders were received by
the company before it commenced bus
mess, and that these are rapidly be-
ing supplied. AS soon as the neces-
sary number Of boxes arrive the CT
gars will be placed on the market and
a large stock is being accumulated to
fill the demand.
The process Of manufacture while
common to all tobacco manufactures,
is exceedingly interesting and practic-
ally unknown to the average smoker,
who In the enjoyment Of his favorite
"smoke" little thinks of the labor
which goes into making it.
At the Havaflorida plant, which
may be taken as a model, the dried
leaves, or hand of tobacco, are placed
in large vat of water, and allowed
to soak for few minutes. They are
then taken out, wrapped securely in a
large bag, and placed into another
tub, without water, and allowed to
sweat overnight. The leaves are now
in two sections, the stem having been
removed in the first process, and TAX
en- out of the sweat box to dry.
On the drying racks they are placed
until they are workable, and suffi-
GENTLY dried to be used in the manu-
facture Of the cigar.
The last stage, or the actual making
Of the cigar, is done on a small bench,
equipped with all necessary tools,
where in the skillful hands of an ex-
perienced workman they are rolled
into the finished cigar.

think, possibly, we may be able to
get close to some fundamental hui
man facts in modern city politics.
Looking at it from one angle it may
appear that Aldermen Kenna and
Coughlin, two of the most generally
abused aldermen in this country, are
the most strongly entrenched be-
cause they really represent their con-
stituents in their ward.
don't mean by that, that they rep
resent what the voters of the Sixth,
Seventh and other residential wards
want, or that they represent what
learned newspaper editors, advanced
sOcioIogists and advocates of perfect
government want.
Nor do I mean that they always
stand for what many of us think are
the best interests of the entire city,
or of any important class generally.
I do mean that it is possible that
if every charge ever made against
them were true, still the cold fact re-
mains that as aldermen Of the First
ward they satisfy quite generally the
interests of that ward-One of the
richest and one of the poorest wards
in the world-the world of the mar
velous loop, of the great department
stores, the paIatial hotels, the sky
scraper Office buildings, the cabarets,
the gorgeous saloons, the low dog
geries, the designation houses, the
miIIiOnaires, lawyers, merchant
princes, male and female prostitutes,
thieves, pickpockets, street walkers,
beggars- in brief, humanity in all of
it's many physical and mental mani
festatiOns.
However, you all know the First |

that is the organization eulOgized by
! Sweitzer as the pattern from which
they will frame their city-wide organ
izatiOn.
In the same issue of Public
Safety is published a story about
the First Ward Democratic club. It's
officers are John J. COughlin, presi-
dent; Ike Brodefick, secretary; Harry
L. Williams, sergeant-at-arms; Mi
chael Kenna, ward committeeman.
These four men have charge of the
organization, but" says Public
Safety" ''the detail work in the ward
is discharged by an army of men
trained in every move and every turn
in getting the Democratic vote on the
poll books, and in getting out that
vote every unit that it is possible to
get OUt-on election day. These men
are as well disciplined as an army
Of veteran soldiers. Unquestioning
obedience to and prompt execution Of
orders is the motto by which they are
guided. The precinct captains and
the Democratic judges and clerks Of
election constitute this army of work
ers. They are on the job all the time,
they are ready to report at the short
est notice, they each and all know
every detail of conditions in their va
rious precincts, they can account for
every fraction of the vote in their
different localities, and they deliver
the goods on election day"
