Abstract:
W. B. Taylor began his chewing tobacco business in a little one-room establishment in Winston-Salem in 1883. The product proved so popular that a plant was soon built. Today, Taylor Brothers is the largest manufacturer of chewing tobacco in the country. The company uses over two million pounds of tobacco a year to produce a chewable product with names such as Black Maria, Cannon Ball, and Bull of the Woods.
