To the Public. There are so many people that are saying that Decatur ought to have more factories and say that it would be a benefit to everybody in and around Decatur. We don’t doubt that, but must say that most of these people forget themselves when they buy a cigar, they generally buy an outside cigar and most times a rank scab cigar that is made in some prison or tenement house or maybe made by machinery or child labor or in some filthy Chinese den. They forget that they have three good Union cigar manufactories in their own city. Chas. Sether, T. Corbett and Jake Martin, all three put a guarantee on every box that they pay good living wages and that the cigars are made in a good, clean and healthy condition. Now then why don’t our people practice what they preach and buy their home cigars and help us to build up our city and get more cigar makers in town. You know that good wages make a good town. Decatur has room for lots of working men with good wages and we must say that if the people of Decatur want to, they can help Union cigar makers increase their force to at least eight more inc We don’t have to go verv far tc e that, only over here at Bluffton, it has 14 Union cigar makers and Decatur only has 5. That goes to show that Deca tur don't want factories so bad. So
