Fine Cigarette
Papers To Be
Produced
Construction Plans To
Be Carried In The

_
Ecusta Paper Corporation
will build a large plant on
Davidson River, one-half mile
north of Pisgah Forest, and
two miles north of Brevard.
Final papers and deeds will
be signed Thursday, and en
gineers are now on the plant
site making surveys for the
building which will be used for
manufacturing fine cigarette
papers.
The following statement was author
ized for publication Wednesday which
tells In detail of the new plant:
The Ecustn Paper corporation has
acquired approximately 200 acres on
the Davidson River, Brevard Township,
Transylvania County, North Carolina,
near the Pisgah Forest Reservation on
which it will erect a plant for the
manufacture of cigarette papers. The
site was selected after a consideration
of many possible locations and after rt
study of all factors Involved, extending
over the better part of a year. Hero
were found the best conditions for &
plant of this type. Including an abun
dant quantity of virgin mountain water
of the purest quality, so essential In
the manufacture of cigarette paper.
For many months Investigations have
been conducted by Interests closely
identified with the cigarette paper in
dustry looking to the construction in
this country of a laigc cigarette paper
mill of the most modern design. The
contemplated plant will In many re
spects mark what Is, In effect the be
ginning of a new Industry In the United
States. Almost all of the high type
cigarette papers, used by the leading
and best known cigarette manufactur
ing companies In their national brands*
Is at the present time Imported from
France.
The purpose of the new American
plant will be to produce paper of this
same high standard with the added
factor that It Is expected to use Ameri
can produced raw materials so that
the finished product will be an Ameri
can product from beginning tc end.
Experiments have been carried on
for a number of years In employing
such American, raw materials In the
manufacture of this high type cigarette
paper. These efforts have recently
been crowned with success so that the
sponsors of this venture have decided
to build their plant
The work, which has so far been car
ried on, has been followed with care
and attention by several of the largest
manufacturers of cigarettes In the
United States. Cigarette paper pro
duced on commercial scales in French
mills from American raw materials
has been tested by the American cigar
ette manufacturers. This has in every
way proved successful and equal to'
the best French cigarette papers.
Leading American cigarette manufac
turers have expressed their entire satis
faction and have indicated their willing
ness to become substantial customer*
of the new mill.
Ecusta Paper Corporation mark* att
Important milestone In American to*

is a whole, manufacturers of cigarette*
In this country have been dependent
