"As soon as your citizens start to ask for it, build industry. *Especially a CIGAR FACTORY* build the cigar factory as close as you can to the dock and make sure you have a teamster's office near it. On average, without the auto roller, a cigar factory can roll in (pun not intended) over $30,000 a year. With the auto roller, that improves profit by 50%. You do the math. Industry might be expensive, but it pays for itself quickly." - Funk_Bomb
