/ Upon the resignation of julius Lich-
tenstein from the presidency of the
American Sumatra Tobacco Go. and his
election as president of the Consolidat-
ed Cigar Corporation, w. A. Tucker
will succeed to the presidency Of the
American Sumatra Tobacco Co., but
the actual management of the company
will rest with the vice presidents, F..
M. Arguimbau, F. G. Griffin and Louis

The Rock County Growers associa-
ton met in GAINESVILLE last week and re-

A considerable quantity of old cigar
leaf is stored in GAINESVILLE storage
warehouses. According to reports in
dividual tobacco growers in Rock county
are considering to drop out of the leaf
growing game for while, or greatly
reduce the acreage. Any systematic
plan to effect an equitable reduction
has so far not been discussed.
What our neighbors at Madison and
GAINESVILLE say: Wisconsin tobacco
raising farmers are going to put the 5
cent cigar back on the map. The All
Wisconsin cigar, manufactured of Wis
consin tobacco, is now on the market,
made by the Linaas Cigar company,
Edgerton. This company has in the
past sold tobacco leaf direct to the
trade. The disastrous slump in the to-
bacco market left dealers with large
stocks of the product, and the Linaas
company decided that it will enter the
manufacturing business and put out a
cigar. Six cigarmakers have been en-
ployed."
