Excerpt from Richmond, Va: An Outline of Its Attractions and Industries
The war tax revenue derived from the Virginia product is astonishingly enormous. The largest stocks of leaf and manufactured are concentrated in Richmond factories and store houses the year round. Strips, leaf, stems, plug, fine cut cigarettes, ex port plug and twist in every variety are staple with our people. Profits vary, but tobacco has always been profitable, though in late years a greater variety of other agricultural products has greatly enriched our State and soils. Prices vary materially and in different years, and may be put down at from one cent to one dollar per pound.
