Following close upon the heels of
the announcement that B. B. Saun
ders would not operate the tobacco
warehouse in Aberdeen which has
borne his name for several seasons
comes the news that Dr. A. H. Mc
Leod and William W. Maurer, both of
Aberdeen, would operate here this
coming season under the name of the
Sandhills Tobacco Warehouse.
Mr. Maurer, who has long been as
sociated in the tobacco business with
Mr. Saunders, said yestfirday that an
intensive drive would be made to
bring more tobacco than ever into
the Aberdeen market this fall, and
that he looked for a most successful
season. He has secured one of the
most experienced tobacco men in
South Carolina, R. D. Cothran of Man
ning, S. C., to handle the sales here.
Mr. Cochran has been in the tobacco
business for many years, is* well
known in the trade, enjoys wide pop
ularity and a reputation for square
dealing. Mr. Maurer said that the
Aberdeen market was fortunate to se
cure a man of Mr. Cothran’s reputa
tion for the coming season.
