TOBACCO MARKET EDITION THE ENTERPRISE TOBACCO MARKET EDITION VOLUME XLII?NUMBER 65 W Mia mat on, Martin County, \orth Carolina, Tuesday, Annus! IS, 1039. ESTABLISHED 1899 Market Has Able Sellina Force Record Sales During Coming Season Are Predicted Local Market Is One Of The Able Leaders In Belt Warc'lioiiMMiicn Fogsetis Every Onnlificut ion For Kun ning a Market The Williamston Tobacco Market, one of the leaders in the entire belt last season, has virtually assured its continued leadership by having its group of old and experienced ware housemen return to the helm of op erations again this seasbn. With these men at the head, the Williamston market is slated to break all previous records. Recognized as the basic founda tion to the success of any market, the operating personnel must , have everything that it takes to handle an enormous job successfully and satis factorily to the customer To oper ate a warehouse successfully it takes grit, personality, money, a thorough knowledge of tobacco in its every de partment and a willingness to work and stick in there and fight to the last ditch in the interest of the far mer and market patron The success ful warehouseman does not consider his job even started when he gets the tobacco on the floor of his house. When the farmer places tobacco on the floor, the successful warehouse man realizes then and there that his job ? the big job ?- is for him to sell that tobacco for the highest possible price. Much of the hallabaloo about promising prices higher than any other market in the world is too of ten proved false when the farmer ?g>'l> hit; check at Uie warehouse of fire* Williamston warehousemen, while promising everything within reason, do not offer to mislead the farmer who has worked long and hard night and day for months, by ?telling him they will sell his tobacco at a price far above the market price. They merely maintain and guarantee that when a pile of tobacco is sold on a Williamston Warehouse floor, it is sold for the market price, and by market price is meant the av erage price paid throughout the belt ?on any given day.? In the long years they have been in business, Williamston Warehouse men have been conservative in their promises and liberal in their efforts to sell tobacco at an advantage to their customers. Williamston Warehousemen, while not capitalists in the true sense of the word, have the money to hack their operations, their Inst judgment and to support the confidence of their pa trons. They have'the grit to get in there and slick it out for the farmer no matter how hot the weather or how long the sale. They show their willingness to work, to strive to their utmost to get me Highest price for | PROPRIETORS OF ROANOKE-DIXIK AM) CAROLINA WAREHOUSES V There'll be plenty of action at the Roanoke-Dixie and New Carolina Warehouses when the quintet pictured here goes into action.

They are splendid judges of tobacco and able warehousemen, constituting one of the strongest selling organizations in the en tire country. I'lan now to see these men in action when the market opens on August 22. The years of experience gained in the tobacco business enables them to serve well their custom ers. every customer, bo lie rich or poor, white or colored, big-or- little.? During their long years of exper ience in the business, Williamston warehousemen have gained a thor ough knowledge of tobacco, and they are not afraid to back their judgment. The very fact that they are closely associated with farming itself, places them in a position to understand the farmer's problem, his hardships and his need for every cent he can get for a pound of tobac co. Williamston warehousemen have every qualification to the success ful operation of a market, and it is their sincere hope and that of every citizen in Williamston that the farm ers in this entire section will make their plans to sell in Williamston the 1939 season. Activities in the tobacco, ware house section are picking up, and all indications point to one of the big gest years in the history of the Wil Jiamslon market.
