Ecusta Through Eyes— (Continued from page 1) was built in Brevard is because of the properities in the water of the Davidson River. People who knew the process used in the manufacture of this paper were brought from Europe to teach workmen here how to manufacture the paper. Local people are now given prefer ence when workers are needed and this plant has been a big asset to Brevard and vicinity. “They have a 24-hour work day, with 3 shifts of 8 hours each. Once every month an employee takes a 5-day leave. The whole plant is immaculate and the employees spotlessly clean. They all have a happy expression, as if glad to work in such a place. There is now being completed a most mod ern cafeteria, where employees may buy hot meals at a mimi- mum price. There was extreme efficiency in everything we ob served. Safety, cleanliness, courtesy, were outstanding. “When we got into the plant we first saw the flax as it was brought in from the fields in the west—mostly California— and stacked in bales. From there it is taken and processed until it comes out in thin, large white sheets of paper. “Each batch of paper is then tested in a laboratory, where chemists see if there is any de fect in the paper itself. If so, it is thrown out. The large, white rolls are then cut into small, narrow rolls, and then cut into cigarette size and put into books, which already have been stamped with the brand on the outside. The little books are the kind that you use to “roll your own”. These little books are then sent to the cigarette factories, where they are filled with tobacco and packed in cartons for the mar ket. “On the grounds are large cement tanks which hold II/2 million gallons of water. Each day 20-million gallons of water are used, and this will increase as it is needed. Also on the grounds are tennis courts, a baseball park, a commissary and the main office. “The Ecusta plant is a mar velous, up-to-^date plant, and the Tree Tops Cabin of Key stone, together with their coun selor, do sincerely appreciate our trip through the plant—due to the kindness of Mr. Straus, and of Mr. Jack Alexander.
