A WELCOME TO
MR. TOBACCO MAN
It wasn’t so many years ago
that Aberdeen boasted an an
nual sale of five million pounds
of tobacco or more on the
floors of its warehouses. Then
more markets sprung up, bigger
towns spent large sums of
money promoting their markets,
more warehouses were built
here and there, and Aberdeen
felt the competition of bigger
places.
But throughout it all, Aber
deen has maintained a reputa
tion for fair dealing, for high
quality of tobacco, for good
prices. And with this year’s
mammoth crop in this section
of a state w’hich has grown
.some three-quarters of a bil
lion pounds, Aberdeen expects
to return to the heydey of
its career in the tobacco in
dustry. It has set a goal of five
miljion poufidt, and there is
every reason to believ’e it will
reach it, possibly surpass it.
There appears to be no reas
on this year why a farmer
should travel greater distance
than is necessary to sell his leaf.
The prices are not varying
enough on the various markets
to make up the difference in
transportation costs. Aberdeen
prices will be as good as others,
on the average. So, Mr. Neigh
borhood Farmer, don’t load up
and drive the truck away off
to some other market when your
net return w’ill be just as good,
mebbe better, right here at
home.
Aberdeen w'ill have two ware
houses, ably manned, with a
full set of buyers. Its citizens
will give you a cheerful wel
come. Its shops will have attrac
tive offerings if you care to
patronize th2m while you are
in town. Its neighhboring towns,
Pinehurst and Southern Pines,
will be glad to welcome you and
show you what has made them
famous the w^orld over as w’inter
resorts.
The tobacco season opens
here on Monday. Come see us.
WHAT ABOUT THE
WINTER SEASON?
How will the w’ar affect the
winter season in the Sandhills?
This question has been heard
on all sides during the past
week. And the answers have
ranged from deep pessimism to
bright prospects.
With European travel cut off,
there is bound to be a flow of
people who can afford winter
vacations and who can get away
from their labors to resorts in
this country. This point is well
taken. Qn the other side is the
fact that any prolonged war will
boom industry, keeping people
busy this winter militating
against winter travel. We gain
on the one hand, lose on the
other.
Much, of course, will depend
upon how long the United
States will maintain strict ob
servance of the present neutral
ity law or how long before Con
gress may revise that law. A
boom in the war industries—
steel, oil, airplanes, shipbuilding,
tools, etc.—caused by orders
from abroad should we permit
trade with warring nations
would end depression. In time
that would react to the benefit
of resorts in this country; peo
ple would soon have money to
spend. But it is doubtful if this
winter will see this come to
pass. Neutrality will be observed
at the start.
There seems to be a feeling in
W^ashington that Congress will
approve a change in the neutral
ity law to permit .sales of any
type of goods to those nations

Mr. Ruggles said that once in his :
life he chewed tobacco to make him- I
self sick so that he wouldn’t have to |
make a talk in high school, and that
only tlie memory of how sick he real
ly got would cause him do other tham |
I chat about his work and what the ,
I FRA wag trying to do. His own par-1
’ ticular work, Mr. Ruggles stated, |
was that of head of the Regional j
Contract and Purchase department. I
He outlined some of the things that
had been accomplished in Hoffman by j
the FRA, as well as other projects j
in this ytate. The most important)
accompli-shment, he thought, was that j
of removing farmers from sub-mar
ginal land^ land that would grow
nothing, to land and surroundings
which would give them a new start

Dante Montesanti is convinced it
pays to advertise in The Pilot. From

Southern Pines had two enthusias
tic visitors in Helen and Margaret
Huttenhauer, the latter now Mrs.
Glen, who spent a couple of days in
the vUlage after an absence of over
25 years. The present home of Mrs
Carlton Wicker was built by their
father, John Huttenhauer^ who also
operated on the bill one of the most
successful peach orchards in the ear
ly days* of Southern Pines. The fam
ily moved to Reisteratown, Md., af
ter the sale of the property to G. C.
Abrahapi around 1913
It’s the old story of sand in your
hsoes. The Huttenhaurs have kept a
warm interest in the town and Its
development and the desire to return
could not be repressed or forgotten
until a trip was arranged that
brought some of them back. Needless
to say they found m^ny changes but
the things they remembered as out
standing factors of childhood stood
with the same charm and quality.
"Wasn’t that a good dinner!”
This exclamation—such it was for
there was no “question” about it-^
vied with war conversation for first
place in the court house Tuesday
morning, and the dinner to which
reference was made was a luncheon
served by Miss Flora McDonald,
home demonstration agent, in her
office Monday at noon.
It was not a demonstration affair
put on at county expense or anything
of that kind, but a luncheon given
by Miss McDonald^ individually, to
give county officials and a few oth
ers a chance to see the new' kitchen
that has recently been built and
equipped in her office, and the new
shelves that have been added for
taking care of the many bulletins
which she keeps for free distribution
and the books of the home demon
stration club library.
Vases of goregous dahlias, zinnias
and marigolds w’ere attractively ar
ranged throughout the room and
these with the green and white dra
peries added a pleasing home-like
touch to the office. Small tables
were arranged for the guests
Following the de'icious luncheon,
W. H. Currie asked Mrs. J. R. Page
of ADerdeen to express the thanks
of the group to Miss McDonald,
which *e did graciously. t
The new kitchen, which will be of (
gnat value in the cc--king demon
strations held ill tlie cffice, will
ser\’e, also as a model ♦or t'le farm

w.omen to work toward It is equip
ped with electric stove and water
heater, which fural electrification
makes it possible for the average
farm woman to enjoy, a sink and
spacious built-in cabinets.
Those enjoying Miss McDonald’s
hospitnlity were the county commis-
sioiers, W'. H. Carrie, W. J. Dunlap,

ADVERTISE IN THE PILOT.
Here are the faas from a reccnt series
of impartial scientific laboratory
tests of 16 of the largest-selling
brands:
1 CAMELS were found to contain
MORE TOBACCO BY WEIGHT
than the average for the 15 other of
the largest-selling brands.
2 CAMELS BURNED SLOWER
THAN ANY OTHER BRAND
TESTED-25% SLOWER THAN
THE AVERAGE TIME OF THE 15
OTHER OF THE LARGEST-SELL
ING BRANDS! By burning 25%
slower, on the average, Camels give
smokers the ecuivalent of 5 EXTRA
SMOKES PEFi PACK!
3 In the same tests, CAMELS HELD
TH CIR ASI1 FAR LONGER than
the average time for all the other
brands.
Get more and better smoking in
Camels. Penny for penny. Camels are
your shrewdest cigarette buy!
