  History 
  of 
  Durham. 
  

  

  tobacco, 
  like 
  the 
  "Vuelta 
  Abass," 
  is 
  of 
  extra 
  fine 
  quality 
  

   and 
  has 
  a 
  flavor 
  peculiar 
  to 
  itself, 
  which 
  no 
  other 
  tobacco 
  

   has 
  

  

  This 
  firm 
  manufactures 
  also 
  a 
  superior 
  article 
  of 
  Scotch 
  

   Snulf, 
  equal 
  to 
  any 
  brand 
  on 
  the 
  market. 
  The 
  name 
  of 
  their 
  

   brand 
  is 
  " 
  Ladies' 
  Clioice 
  Scotch 
  Snuff." 
  It 
  is 
  made 
  from 
  

   the 
  very 
  best 
  North 
  Carolina 
  sun 
  cured 
  tobacco, 
  being 
  

   entirely 
  free 
  from 
  adulterations 
  and 
  injurious 
  drugs 
  or 
  

   chemicals. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  comparatively 
  new 
  enterprise, 
  but 
  a 
  

   growing 
  one. 
  This 
  firm 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  leading 
  manufactures 
  

   of 
  the 
  town.

  T. 
  FAUCETT. 
  

  

  If 
  perfect 
  system, 
  superior 
  goods, 
  the 
  best 
  and 
  most 
  im- 
  

   proved 
  modern 
  aj>pliances 
  in 
  the 
  manufacture 
  of 
  cigarettes 
  

   and 
  smoking 
  tobacco, 
  are 
  the 
  prerequisites 
  of 
  a 
  first 
  class 
  

   manufacturing 
  establishment, 
  then 
  this 
  factory 
  is 
  justly 
  

   entitled 
  to 
  prominence 
  among 
  the 
  leading 
  institutions 
  of 
  

   the 
  kind 
  in 
  North 
  Carolina. 
  Mr. 
  Faucett 
  is 
  a 
  gentleman 
  of 
  

   large 
  and 
  varied 
  experience 
  in 
  the 
  business, 
  and 
  spares 
  no 
  

   pains 
  nor 
  expense 
  to 
  produce 
  a 
  quality 
  of 
  goods 
  which 
  will 
  

   stand 
  upon 
  their 
  merits 
  and 
  compete 
  favorably 
  with 
  the 
  

   best 
  brands 
  manufactured. 
  He 
  engaged 
  in 
  business 
  herein 
  

   1871. 
  In 
  1877 
  his 
  factory 
  was 
  destroyed 
  by 
  fire, 
  but 
  he 
  

   immediately 
  re-built 
  in 
  another 
  locality. 
  He 
  now 
  occupies 
  

   a 
  wood 
  building 
  80x40 
  feet, 
  two 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  stories 
  high. 
  

   His 
  products 
  are 
  granulated 
  and 
  long-cut 
  smoking 
  tobaccos 
  

   and 
  cigarettes, 
  his 
  special 
  brands 
  being 
  "Little 
  Oronoka," 
  

   " 
  Favorite 
  Durham 
  " 
  and 
  " 
  Ten 
  Cent 
  Durham," 
  and 
  his 
  trade 
  

   covers 
  the 
  entire 
  Union, 
  and 
  is 
  still 
  rapidly 
  increasing. 
  In 
  

   October, 
  1883, 
  he 
  entered 
  as 
  a 
  partner 
  in 
  and 
  was 
  chosen 
  

   president 
  of 
  " 
  The 
  Durham 
  Cigarette 
  Company." 
  The 
  ex- 
  

   cellent 
  quality 
  of 
  their 
  goods 
  created 
  so 
  great 
  a 
  demand 
  that 
  

   enlarged 
  facilities 
  became 
  indispensable. 
  Their 
  new 
  quar- 
  

   ters 
  are 
  now 
  completed, 
  giving 
  employment 
  to 
  a 
  greatly 
  

   increased 
  number 
  of 
  skilled 
  operatives. 
  "Little 
  Oronoka" 
  

   is 
  undoubtedly 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  finest 
  cigarettes 
  manufactured 
  in 
  

   this 
  or 
  any 
  other 
  State. 
  It 
  is 
  manufactured 
  only 
  from 
  the 
  

   quality 
  of 
  tobacco 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  derives 
  its 
  name. 
  It 
  pro- 
  

   duces 
  a 
  sweet, 
  mild 
  smoke, 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  bite 
  the 
  tongue, 
  

   being 
  almost 
  entirely 
  free 
  from 
  nicotine. 
  Smokers 
  of 
  long- 
  

   cut 
  and 
  cigarettes 
  are 
  of 
  that 
  class, 
  mostly 
  young, 
  who 
  like
