Two Groups Recognized
in the Tobacco Industry
Tobacco, as an Industry, is usually
divided into two main groups, the first
used in the manufacture of cigars,
with the various types of leaves used
for filling, binding and wrapping; the
second group used in the manufacture
of cigarettes, chewing and pipe tobac
co and snutf.
The chief states growing cigar to
bacco are Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New
York, Connecticut, Florida and Geor
gia. Tobacco used for other purposes
comes from Virginia. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, West Vir
ginia, Missouri, Arkansas, Maryland
and Louisiana. There is. however, no
line of demarcation between the states
and the types of tobacco. Some states
grow tobacco for both the cigar
groups and other production groups.
Just as cigar tobacco is divided
into tiller, wrapper and binder type,
so is the other tobacco group divided
into classifications flue-cured, fire-cured
and air-cured. The names are self
explanatory. Flue-cured tobacco,
grown mostly In Virginia, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, is used mainly in the manu
facture of cigarettes.—New York
Times.
First Overland Mail
On August 9. 1557, the original
Southern Overland mail route, con
necting San Antonio, Texas, and San
Diego, Calif., begun operation, says
the Telephone Almanac. Mail was car
ried at first on pack animals and the
line came to be popularly known as
the “Jackass Mail.” On these early
trips It was sometimes necessary to
sling the mail bag 9 across the Pecos
river with rawhide ropes. Stages
drawn by four or six mules were soon
introduced, running at first semi
monthly and later weekly, in each di
rection. The scheduled time for the
1.476-mile trip was 30 days. Discon
tinued In 1861. the line was. in effect,
revived In 1865 and, until supplanted
by a railroad, played an Important
part in the development of the South
west.
