  History 
  of 
  Durham. 
  

  

  hours. 
  On 
  the 
  same 
  floor, 
  at 
  the 
  front, 
  the 
  " 
  Genuine 
  Dur- 
  

   ham 
  Smokii^g 
  Tobacco" 
  is 
  seen 
  unpacked. 
  With 
  the 
  ex- 
  

   ception 
  of 
  the 
  drying 
  department 
  just 
  referred 
  to, 
  this 
  entire 
  

   floor, 
  front 
  and 
  both 
  wings, 
  is 
  filled 
  with 
  granulated 
  tobacco 
  

   ready 
  for 
  packing 
  processes. 
  In 
  this 
  vast 
  space 
  almost 
  a 
  

   million 
  pounds 
  are 
  distributed, 
  and 
  in 
  looking 
  at 
  the 
  tow- 
  

   ering 
  heaps 
  an 
  observer 
  is 
  reminded 
  of 
  mountains 
  of 
  shining 
  

   gold. 
  The 
  sight 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  and 
  unequalled 
  one. 
  After 
  

   viewing 
  it 
  one 
  no 
  longer 
  wonders 
  how 
  it 
  is 
  that 
  the 
  "Genu- 
  

   ine 
  Durham 
  Smoking 
  Tobacco" 
  has 
  sellers 
  and 
  buyers 
  in 
  

   every 
  little 
  and 
  big 
  tobacco 
  establishment 
  throughout 
  the 
  

   world. 
  The 
  factory 
  has 
  the 
  facilities 
  for 
  supplying 
  the 
  uni- 
  

   versal 
  demand, 
  and 
  the 
  tobacco 
  is 
  distributed 
  with 
  as 
  much 
  

   skill 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  manufactured. 
  

  

  The 
  cutting 
  room 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  floor 
  of 
  the 
  left 
  wing, 
  

   where 
  twelve 
  and 
  sometimes 
  fourteen 
  cutting 
  machines 
  are 
  

   in 
  continual 
  daily 
  operation. 
  In 
  the 
  basement 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   floor 
  is 
  a 
  compartment 
  where 
  the 
  iron 
  hoops 
  used 
  to 
  bind 
  

   cases 
  of 
  goods 
  are 
  punched. 
  Next 
  to 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  machine 
  shop, 
  

   where 
  the 
  machinery 
  of 
  the 
  factory 
  is 
  repaired. 
  A 
  grist 
  

   mill 
  adjoins; 
  and 
  beyond 
  is 
  a 
  paper 
  box 
  factory, 
  in 
  which 
  

   all 
  the 
  pasteboard 
  boxes 
  used 
  in 
  the 
  factory 
  are 
  made. 
  Over 
  

   this 
  is 
  the 
  printing 
  establishment, 
  in 
  which 
  every 
  variet}^ 
  

   of 
  printing, 
  plain, 
  gilt 
  and 
  in 
  colors, 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  goods 
  

   emanating 
  from 
  this 
  factory, 
  including 
  bands 
  and 
  labels, 
  

   large 
  and 
  small, 
  is 
  effected. 
  Adjacent 
  is 
  a 
  planing 
  and 
  box- 
  

   making 
  shop. 
  

  

  In 
  conclusion, 
  to 
  give 
  some 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  immensity 
  of 
  this 
  

   establishment, 
  we 
  subjoin 
  a 
  few 
  facts 
  and 
  figures 
  from 
  the 
  

   President, 
  Julian 
  S. 
  Carr, 
  Esq., 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  an 
  interview 
  : 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  want 
  to 
  know 
  something 
  about 
  the 
  methods 
  which 
  has 
  

   made 
  Bull 
  Durham 
  the 
  popular 
  brand 
  of 
  smoking 
  tobacco." 
  

  

  '• 
  Having 
  a 
  good 
  thing, 
  we 
  have 
  extensively 
  advertised 
  it." 
  

  

  "You 
  believe 
  in 
  extensive 
  advertising." 
  

  

  " 
  Yes, 
  sir; 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  a 
  dollar 
  to 
  spare, 
  I 
  will 
  in- 
  

   vest 
  it 
  in 
  advertising." 
  

  

  " 
  How 
  much 
  do 
  you 
  spend 
  annually 
  in 
  that 
  way?" 
  

  

  " 
  You 
  can 
  see 
  for 
  yourself. 
  Here 
  is 
  a 
  contract 
  for 
  adver- 
  

   tising 
  in 
  country 
  newspapers." 
  

  

  The 
  contract 
  dated 
  September 
  27, 
  was 
  made 
  with 
  N. 
  W. 
  

   Ayer 
  & 
  Son, 
  advertising 
  agents 
  of 
  Philadelphia, 
  and 
  the 
  

   amount 
  was 
  $100,000. 
  

  

  " 
  With 
  the 
  large 
  dailies," 
  continued 
  Mr. 
  Carr, 
  " 
  we 
  make
