CIGAR-MAKING MACHINE IS KEPT INSIDE SECURELY LOCKED ROOM

BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN ; There Is ample evidence that machinery Is to play a more important part in the manufacture of cigars in the fu'.ure. This is no part of the growers' problem, but is of some importance to all cigar leaf interests, nevertheless. Machinery might cheapen and Increase the output, for instance. There is an old-time prejudice in faTor of hand labor in the manufacture of cigars hand labor all the way through. Perhaps "prejudice" isn't exactly the word, "sentiment" may be better. There is an aversion in the higher branches of the trade to mixing up machinery with their operations, and a strictly hand-made product is the pride of many large and successful concerns. It will doubtless Btlll continue to be. - . . The latest development In cigar machinery is a complete cigar maker, fashioned of wood and steel and other metals. We visited a plant where one or more such machines were in operation during our trip east. Only on written permission of a high official of this Important chain of cigar factories may one be permitted to see this machine In action. This machine Is used In the making of clgar now sold at seven cents, but of which hundreds of millions were previously sold at a nickel. That any machine whatever, will come Into use in the manufacture of clear Havana Roods, or indeed of the better grades of domestic lines, seems, as ever, still highly improbable. But that machinemade nickel or lower class goods Is appreciably close Is almost a certainty. Indeed It Is claimed that this machine has been so successfuly demonstrated that the factory building it is being flooded with orders, which may be a very much overdrawn statement. Stripper and Booker. Stripping and booking machines are coming into quite general use in large cigar plants, so the manufacturers of these machines claim. They state that it Is a serious problem, this getting of a type of labor that will stick to the tedious preliminary processes of preparing tobaccos for the manufacture of cigars. If the machlno actually does do the work more economically, and at a saving or leaf, as well as turning out a more uniform product; then the machine will eventually win. But the taking of tho raw leaf and turning it Into a first class cigar, one which will meet the approval of the seasoned smoker, Is a very different matter, it .would seem, as the making of a cigar js one of many operations, from leaf to cigar box. In the plants where now at work these machines are in charge of women. The average employe of the concern never sees the Inside of the "machine room." to which there is a special entrance, always locked and inaccessible to those who have no business inside. Lancaster Leaf Prices. . A Lancaster dally newspaper reporter, who also writes tobacco news for a New York publication, displays some bias and considerable feeling in his report to New York under date of .April 23. That the reporter is not at all In sympathy with the leaf grower is clearly apparent. The following Is given for what It ia worth: After some comment on the remarks of a local tobacco man, he continues: "Being both a packer and grower, Mr. Baker is fully able to understand why the grower cannot get 1917 prices for 1918 tobacco. Being conversant with market conditions, he understands the position of the buyer. And

ENJOYS HOUSEWORK SINCE PEPGEN GAVE HER SOUND NERVES

it is becoming evident that the growers are learning, too. Plenty of them

who were holding out for prices above

20 cents are now willing to take the prices the packers were offering only

a few weeks ago, 14 to 16 cents. And now the packers are offering them 10 to 12 cents per pound and don't care a

rap whether the grower sells or not. As indicated by recent reports on the condition of a part of the Lan

caster and York county crops, ten and twelve cents will be a good price for

"unburnable leaf" but those who really

have good quality tobacco to market

will hardly consider these low figures

at all satisfactory. The chances are in favor of their holding on to what they have, awaiting a better market.

until at least convinced that there is

no higher market probable. In any

case, it is certain that & whole lot of Pennsylvania leaf will be carried over

by growers and farmers packing asso

ciations, awaiting the outcome of the

1919 crop, both as to quantity ana

quality. Cost of Raising Tobacco.

As to the cost of raising tobacco in

Ohio last year opinions differ widely, but one packer explains what a crop

of 1917 Ohio cost the farmer from

whom he purchased it. He claims to give the grower's own figures as given to him at the time the latter received payment for his three acre crop. This fanner lives near Dayton and has his 1918 acreage still on hand. On the 1917 crop this farmer showed an expense of $37.60 per acre, for seed, fertilizer and the labor of one man for a period, or a total of $112.50. The check was for a shade over $1,200, or an average profit of $362.50 per acre to pay for the work done by the farmer and his family. This man cited several Instances where Ohio tobacco growers have become well fixed during the last twenty-five years, when prices ruled right along much below those they have been offered of late. This is doubtless true, but circumstances alter cases. Then aealn, these men were farmers, not merely tobacco growers, be it noted. They have always diversified their crops. Still, the instance cited shows that there is and has been "money in tobacco" well cared for and well sold. It is also understood by fair minded men that the speculative packer who invests his money and stands the sorting and the grading and shrinkage, should also be able to make an honest dollar in the handling of this important commodity; there should, in all reason, be enough profit to go round, in view of what the consumer pays for so little of the product, either in the form of cigars, or in smoking or chewing material.

MRS. MAY HULL "A chance cold in the head caused ma a great deal of suffering." says Mrs. May Hull. 923 Sixth Avenue, L)es Moines. Iowa. "I generally got out of bed ia tho morning with a bad taste in my mouth and dizzy headaches. I had no appotito for breakfast. I was nervous and everything seemed to upset nie. At times I had to ask my children to play outside. I could not stand the noise they made. ."Since taking Pepgen my improvement has been wonderful. My head is as clear as a bell. I have a fine appetite and am not troubled with headaches. We have a ten-room house and I feel so much stronger that my housework is mere play, where before it seemed as If I could never get through. I feel that I cannot praise Pepgen too highly." Pepgen Is composed of oils and Juices of a vast number of leaves, roots and barks, each recognized for its value in treating stomach, liver and nerve diseases. Thousands recommend It. For rheumatism, lumbago and neuralgia, try Pepgen Liniment. It is made from mustard, red pepper, sassafras, menthol and ammonia. It penetrates but does not blister. If constipated, take Pepgen Laxative Tablets. They thoroughly cleanse the liver. They are different from anything you have ever tried eaten like candy. . Thm who wish to learn more of

Middletovn Lady Suffering for Years With Asthma Permanently Relieved by the Inter-State Doctors.

Those Master Specialists who have their Richmond office permanently located in the Starr Building, corner of Tenth and Main streets. The list of testimonials in behalf of the Interstate Doctors continues to grow as new tests of their ability are made. They have a reputation for skill and honor all over this country and could not afford to throw their reputation down for any one case. For this reason they will not accept a case nor take your money, if after a thorough examination they have any doubts about the ultimate results. Mrs. Davenport adds a very strong letter to

! their credit, which we publish here

with: Middletown, Ind.. R. F. D., No. 1. To the Suffering Public: I want to add my testimony to many others in regard to the worth of the Interstate Doctors. I have been a sufferer for years with asthma and also a hurting in the lower end of my spine caused by an old abcess. I had taken lots of treatment for both and couldn't get one bit of relief. And at my age, 75 years. It seemed I

was aesiinea to pass tne rest or my

days in abject misery. But I finally

found my discouragements and fore

bodings removed. I saw the printed testimonials of those cured by the In

terstate Doctors, and I made up my mind to consult them. When I went

to their office In April I really expect

ed them to turn me down as hopeless, for I had known of a number of cases they had refused to treat. But I was disappointed again. Their physician

gave me a careful, painstaking examination and told me there was relief

for mo beyond a doubt. He analyzed

my case so plainly, and reasonable, that I could readily understand it (and that is what I like about them), and I placed myself under their care at once. I got relief in less than two weeks, and now, June 13, I am fre

from any disturbances whatever, and

! consider myself well and as spry as

when I was a girl, uhat I like about

these doctors, they go to the bottom

of a case and show the same person?.!

Interest in your case on your return trips as they do on the first. Quite different from most doctors. They are honest, gantlemanly, and show a determination to get a case well when they once take hold of it I own a big farm and will gladly satisfy any enquirers concerning my experience with these great doctors. MRS. W. A. DAVENPORT. Anyone doubting the authenticity of the above letter would do well to write Mrs. Davenport. DOCTOR DUDLEY M. CULVER, The head physician of the Interstate Doctors, will be in the office every Friday from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. On account of the enormous growth in the business at the Richmond office. Dr. Culver is arranging his Muncie office so that he can spend two days here each week at the beginning bf the New Year, instead of one day as heretofore. .-.. Watch the Announcements. Adv.

Wait for the New Hnidsom Seper-Six

ere Soon Price $1975

Prompt Deliveries Assured Early Buyers It is a Perfected Development of the Car You Know So Well

A new Hudson Super-Six is coming. It reveals how four years' experience with 60,000 cars has enabled Hudson engineers to free it from many of the annoyances regarded as inevitable to all cars. It embodies the qualities which men said would make it the greatest car known. It Is Worth Waiting For Production on large scale is now under way. Dealers will have their demonstrating cars within a few days. You must not fail to see the new Hudson Super-Six. Think of the history of earlier models. They have made a place in every branch of motor car use that has not been matched. The first Hudson Super-Six, four years ago, increased motor power by 72 without added weight. It retained all the simplicity of the six. It minimized vibration. Proved In A Thousand Ways You remember how endurance was proved. Nothing to equal Hudson SuperSix records of performance had ever been known. Most of those stand today as achievements that no other car has been able to match. .But one thing those feats did, you perhaps do not know. They showed ways for development of subsequent models that find their expression in the new car soon to be offered.

Such a car could not possibly have come from any other organization.- It takes years of experience to learn and develop the qualities we now offer. The same engineers responsible for the first Super-Six have watched it in its service for 60,000 users and now offer the new Super-Six as the expression of their greater knowledge. Isn't such a car worth waiting for? - Watch the papers for the arrival of the new Super-Six, then go see it. The New Price Is $1975 Hudson production will be twice as large this year as last. Because of that the new price for the 7-passenger phaeton will be $1975. Without the experience we now have such a car would have been impossible at an earlier time, regardless of the price at which it sold. Still, as you know, the Super-Six has always been one of the world's finest cars. You hear that on all sides. It has led all other fine cars in sales. There have never been enough to equal the demand. A like condition must surely obtain this year. But those who buy early will get early delivery. They have the records of every Hudson Super-Six as an assurance of its value. If you are on the point of buying a new car, go or telephone to your Hudson dealer. Perhaps he can tell you when you may see the new Hudson Super-Six.
