§Webster's Warehouse!
% MADISON, N. C. •
||| TO THE TOBACCO GROWERS OF THE PIEDMONT SECTION : /
• We call your attention to the fact that we have put our warehouse and stalls in good condition, and that in addition to our last year's buyers we will have with us Mr. Will (1. Penn, of Danville,
Va., who will represent several large manufacturers of this country as well as of Canada.
We want to impress you with the fact that we have talked 'he good qualities of your tobacco to outsiders and have gotten them interc tod, thus creating uew competition that did not exist years
ago. We know some of our competitors boast of their big f tories. We recently visited a city 200 miles south of us; this same city had eleven big cotton mills, some of the smokestacks seemed to
pierce the very sky. One would naturally think this a great c jtton market. I happened to make iuquiry and was told by reliable people that cotton never brought any more there and often not as
• much as it did 25 or 30 miles away where they had no cotton mills. The cotton growers accused the big mill men of getting togethor and fixing the price. Human nature is about the same the
world oyer, and what holds good with cotton, holds with tob KIOO. Our buyers here buy on commission and they are aware of the fact that if our prices are not equal to other markets of the coun
try we will not get the tobacco to sell. So you can see the bituation at a glance. •
Webster's Warehouse doubled last year's sales, and if the jbacco growers of the Piedmont section will do themselves justice, we will d juble again. On account of the favored location of Madison
we ought to make this a 10,000,000 pound market. No mam facturer can make a good chew without some of these good sweet tobaccos, t > mix in with the nondescript, grown in other sections. And
• they know when they buy on the Madison market they get this kind exclusively. Therefore it is no trouble to get buyers. lint tobacro is what we want to fill these large orders.
Remember we are large buyers ourselves. , ....... ,
• And we let no grade from a sucker to a SSO wrapper sell on our floor for less than it will bring on any market. gB&
So the matter dwindles down to this proposition : You can haul your tobacco 40 to >o miles, or yon can haul it 10 to lio to Webster's Warehouse and get just as much cash as you can get by go
ing the'long distance.
Do your own choosing, gentlemen.
