valued at more than 16 million dollars. The imports of East Indian (Sumatran) leaf varies from 6 to 8 million lbs. and costs from 7 to 8 million dollars. Although the amount of imported leaf used in cigar making shows a steady increase, being now more than 50% greater than a decade ago, yet the proportion of foreign leaf to home- grown leaf in the whole manufacture shows a steady decrease. This speaks well for the im- proving quality of American grown leaf. There are in the United States about ...26,000 cigar factories, both large and small. The large number of establishments is due to the fact that cigar making is still to a large extent a hand- making industry. About 135,000 persons arc directly employed in the manufacture, nearly half of whom are women. The capital engaged 97 in the business is reported as 150 millions and the value of the product 200 million dollars annually. The actual consumer pays about 300 million dollars for the cigars smoked, the dif- ference between the cost of the product and the latter figure being the expense and profit of the retail handlers.
