AUCTION SYSTEM
The auction system of selling1
obacco on warehouse floors has
(roved to be the most satisfactory
lystem known. It brings the seler
and the buyer to-gether and
he sale is made to the highest
(idder. It is not compulsory on
he part of the seller to accept
he bid: he has the right to turn II
he tag; however, there are few |||
ags turned during the season in |||
Whiteville because of the satis- JJI
'actory sales.
Auctioneers in Whiteville are
ecognized as "Top-Notch chant;rs"
of experience. There are no
rovices or men who think they j
enow how to sell. Every auction- j
;er here has had years of exper- j
ence and they know the game
from start to finish. The one
thing that pleases a good auctioneer
is to see the smile of satisfaction
off the face of a tobacco
grower, and whether you believe
it or not, nothing pleases buyers
more than to see that the farmers
are paid a handsome price for
the weed.
For several years, Whiteville |
has been one of the outstand- j
ing markets and has drawn patronage
of farmers of all types,
colors, and creed, for every fluecured
belt. Everyone has an equal
chance regardless of their color;
landlord or tenant, large or ftnall, D
rich or poor, there are no pets I
and no special favors extended to j II
one that is not given all. A real
warm, cordial welcome awaits all II
growers from every interest in II
Whiteville; ... ... 1
