Reidsville, N.C., July 19—William D. Stocks, general manager of the E.R. Penn branch of the American Tobacco company here, announced that the company would move its Baltimore, Md., factory to Reidsville. He also announced that besides this the capacity of the local plant would be doubled.
The equipment to be moved here from Baltimore is for the manufacture of all-tobacco cigarettes. The change, it was said, would increase the number of local tobacco employees about 250.
The present factory here, employing between 700 and 800 women and girls and a large number of men and boys, has a daily production of 18 million cigarettes.
