Risser, Henry - 1881

From Clay.
Business Activity - Improvements and Progression.
Henry Risser, cigar manufacturer, is not able with his present force of workmen to meet the demands.  He has a force of nine hands, six making cigars and three employed in stripping tobacco.  He expects shortly to increase the number to twelve or thirteen.  Mr. Risser would like to employ nine or ten cigar makers and the three strippers whom he has at present at work.  He intends, also, to go into the leaf tobacco business.  This speaks well for our friend Henry, and shows that he is a man of business tact and qualifications.
