/ r EIGHT FAIRMONT L001 TO ANOTHER BI 2 Led The Border Markets Last Year; Paid Out Half Million Dollars More Than Nearest Competitor Fairmont, Aug. 1, 1935.?Fairmont is looking forward to another big season this year. Warehouse space has been increased over last year and the factories and redrying plants have been busy all year remodeling and enlarging their plants. The Imperial Tobacco Co. has tripled its capacity and now Fairmont I boasts of one of the largest re-1 drying plants in the south. Last season Fairmont went! through the entire season with; only two block sales and with in-1 creased floor space and factory j capacity we should be able to f handle the crop with the same ease as last season. Fairmont made a wonaeriui re-; cord last year. Starting out with j no special goal in view, save to J see that every pile of tobacco j brought the full market price and j that every grower big or little j was given the same courtesy and service, Fairmont wound up by leading the entire South Carolina; and Border Belt in pounds, aver- i age price and money paid out. J With a total pay out of nearly! six million dollars Fairmont paid j out nearly one-half million dol- ( lars more than her nearest com- \ petitor. Such a record is one to bej proud of and Fairmont wishes to thank her many customers for j their loyal patronage and to as- j sure them that the same men1 that served them so well last year will be back on the job! fighting to give service and ob- j tain the high d >llar for every' pile of tobacco brought to Fairmont. Last season Fairmont was handicapped by roads being under construction and some growers coming to this market being forced to drive over detours. This season finds good hard surface roads leading to Fairmont from all directions and customers coming to this market will find a good route from any point. Fairmont's city officials and business men are behind the Fair- | mont market and improvements! are seen in all sections of the 1 1 < I 1 I Ut f TheLe 1 Belt j 1 # l I - KING FORWARD G WEED SEASON * j town. New sidewalks have been built, streets improved, and new j business buildings have been erjected. Fairmont merchants have! ! been to all the large markets ! buying up-to-date merchandise jand stocking up for the coming 'season. Visitors In Fairmont will find the stores packed with merchandise that compares with the best anywhere. Fairmont is entering into the j new season with the earnest in-1 tention to give her customers the i best service they can find any- j where and the high dollar for i every pile of tobacco, equal | rights to all and special privi- j lege to none. These are the prin- j cipals that have built the Fair-1 mont market to where it is the leader and these are the principals that will cause Fairmont to continue to grow. I. A.
