Cigarette Paper
Cigarette Paper.
Most people are under the impression that cigarette paper is made from rice straw; more likely from old rags and old lint from battlefields and other places. There is a substance in this colony which, I believe, would make splendid cigarette paper; that substance is waste tow from the flax mills. There is a paper mill in the country, I believe, why not try the tow. The consumption of cigarette paper in the colonies is considerable, and the trade worth securing, I should think.
