Evolution from Leaf 

 to Finished Product 



Each tobacco bale 

 must be thoroughly 

 inspected and clas- 

 sified by an expert, 

 before the tobacco 

 can be selected for 

 the desired blend 



This shows the de- 

 livery end of the 

 cigarette machine. 

 The cigarettes, 

 completely finished 

 and ready for pack- 

 ing, are neatly piled 



The deft hands of 

 girls fill the boxes 

 with the counted 

 number of cigar- 

 ettes, label, wrap 

 and pack them in 

 paste-board con- 

 tainers for transit
