Manufacturing plug tobacco
Staff Person: Nanette Hardison
Description:
This image shows the manufacturing of plug tobacco at a Winston, North Carolina tobacco plant. The description under the photo states that “Winston, North Carolina, was “storm center of the plug industry,” stubbornly stuck to flat plug made of Bright leaf in the face of spectacular increase in Burley plug sales. Winston became third-ranking city in manufactured tobacco output, rejected old consignment system to develop its own sales force.”
The image is from the book entitled “Tobacco & Americans,” a title which is one of the many interesting books that make up the Special Collections’ reference collection which is located in the search room.

I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely value enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the internet shall be much more useful than ever before.
