Abstract
- The article announces that the U.S. has been producing cigarette paper from fresh, homegrown flax fibers in quantities enough for all national needs and for export. About 90% of U.S. cigarette paper import used to come from France, but by 1943, the U.S. was importing only 625,000 pounds of rag paper from all foreign sources, and exporting 14,098,760 pounds of flax paper to 62 countries from a total domestic production of 49,900,000 lbs. Cited is Ecusta Paper Corporation's Pisgah Forest, which has expanded into a 12 million U.S. dollar plant.
