Worker spraying tobacco leaves for the Florida Cigar Company in Quincy, Florida

from Florida Memory

  • Florida Memory said:
    Accompanying note: "The leaves are dampened under a fine spray before going to the stripper in the plant, who pulls the stem from each leaf, dividing the leaf into left and right wrappers. Care must be taken to keep the wrappers separate in left and right bundles, since the machines can be set for either left or right wrapping."

African American boy harvesting shade tobacco for the Florida Cigar Company in Quincy, Florida

from Florida Memory

  • Florida Memory said:
    Accompanying note: "The tobacco crop is never in the sun. Cheesecloth shields the growing plant from the direct rays of the sun. The crop is harvested in the shade and carried to the drying barns in covered wagons."
  • Ted Partrick said:
    This little boy will go home hot, tired and covered in tobacco sap. This is hard child labor and not long ago.
