To the Editor of the NowrH-Cuina Daly News."
Sit,—Allow me to correct the statement by "G.N." re the cigarette.machine in his letter of the 2ist instant appearing in your issue of this morning, The machine in question was purchased and a small company formed consisting of the late Mr. R. W, Mustard, the late Mr. C. C. Bennett, the late Mr, L- Andersen and myself, and it was installed on the upper' floor Messrs. Mustard Co's premises in the Nanking Rond, the site being a portion of Messrs, Lane, Crawford & Co.'s present furnishing department.
Tt ran there for the best part of a year, but as the tobacco needed drying before it was cut and made into cigarettes and as Messrs, Mustard & Cos premises were too small to accommodate a drying, plant, a three-storied foreign build: ing situated at the corner of the Yuenfong Road and Broadway was vented and a rotary drying machine erected on the ground floor, whilst the upper floor was occupied by My, Andersen. hat building was formerly run' as a hotel and was known as the Ami Hotel.
Mr. E, H. Dunning who was then in the employ of Mustard Ca, would confirm the foregoing.
Tam, ete, sangha, April 25, 1928.
