Defense Producing
'Strange Bedfellows*
The defense production program
has produced what seem to be some
"strange bedfellows" of industry?
in assigning certain companies to
handle defense jobs not closely akin
to their regular operations. Rat trap
makers are turning out army cots;
pipe organ makers are making sad
dle frames; adding machine manu
facturers are making automatic pis
tols; makers of cream separators are
turning out gun tripod mounts ?
and so it goes. On closer inspection
of many of these cases it is found
that there is. after all. a basic kinship
between the materials, or tools, or
factory set-up for these Companies'
regular production, and the defense
goods production. In other cases
there is almost no physical relation
ship whatever, but established indus
trial organizations get the War De
partment call to operate new defense
enterprises simply because of the
need for proven skill in management
of big operations. Most recent ex
ample of the latter is organization
of the Lone Star Defense corporation
to construct and operate a $78,940,
000 government ordnance plant near
Texarkana. Tex. It was organized as
a subsidiary of a pioneer rubber
concern, and the latter's manage
ment personnel was given respon
sibility for construction and opera
tion of the plant.
Greenville Making
Ready For Its 51st
Opening August 26
Greenville?When Greenville op
ens its tobacco market Tuesday, Aug
ust 26th, beginning its 51st market
ing season, the tobacco grower will
be offered more advantages and bet
ter service that they have been af
forded since the auction sale of leaf
tobacco was first inaugurated in- this
Pitt County city in 1891, more than
half a century ago. Improvements
have been made in local factories,
additions have been built to some,
while new machinery and other
equipment have been installed in
others. Improvements have also
been made in the warehouses, but
the biggest change is tin* one made in
the Greenville market's sales sys
tem.
In the past the Greenvilfe market
has operated under the old block
sales system, which gave first sales
to each of the market's ten ware
houses every other day, however,
nearly everyone of these ten ware
houses have floor capacities which
entitled them to sales ranging from
one and a half to two days. und un
der the block system they often fill
ed their floors. This disrupted the
regularly scheduled order or sales,
as shown on the card, and many
times warehouses would not get sales
for three or four days. Under such
conditions, a sales card meant noth
ing to a tobacco grower. Under the
new, progressive and intelligently
planned half day sales system re
cently adopted by the Greenville
Tobacco Board of Trade, all the ob
jectionable features of the old block
system have been overcome. Now all
of the market's ten warehouses have
a guaranteed sale every day. The
new Greenville sales card shows a
morning sale for five of the market's
warehouses, an afternoon *ale for
the other five, and regardless of the
amount of tobacco being marketed,
all ten warehouses receive the buy
ers, or their sale at the appointed
hour. Tobacco growers can be gov
erned by the Greenville sales card at
all times, knowing that when they
carry their tobacco to a warehouse
having a sale scheduled, that ware
house will get their sale regardless,
and once the grower places his leaf
on the floor of a warehouse, he can
be told within a few minutes of the
time it will be sold. In Greenville
there will be no delay or uncertain
ty this season, and tobacco growers,
after placiitg-tl^ea tobacco on the
floor can go up town, attend '
er business, and come back at a cer

tain time and look after the sale of
his leaf, instead of waiting around
a warehouse not knowing when his
ri'up'will be sold.
In the past, a million and a half to j
two million pounds of tobacco com
ing in on a big break would always
go to the five warehouses having |
first sales scheduled for that day,
causing congested conditions in those
warehouses, placing room to unload
and weigh at a premium, making un
loading, weighing and spreading to
bacco a long, tiresome procedure.
Under the new half day system, big
breaks are distributed among ten of
the Greenville warehouses, instead
of five, for they all have a sale ev
ery day ,and this leaves more than I
half of every floor for the purpose f
of unloading and weighing tobacco.
Naturally, under the new half day
system a grower can unload, weigh
and place his tobacco on the floor
much easier and quicker. There is
still another important comparison
between the old block system and
Greenville's new half day sales sys
tem In former years, when a floorl
was filled to its capacity and blocks |
would delay the arrival of the buy
ers at a warehouse, tobacco would
lay on the warehouse floor two and
three days. It would dry out and
bleach and growers attempting to
look after their leaf after it was
spread would he obliged to walk
between hundreds and hundreds of
baskets of tobacco, unavoidably
tfaTnphng their own tear and that of
others. This year, with ten ware
houses having a sale every day,
smaller portions of each floor will
be spread; and tobacco Can be reach
ed for care and attention easily and
quickly and without trampling. It
will look better when it is sold and
as everyone knows, tobacco sells best
when it looks best. Greenville's new
half day sales system is an linprove
ment over any other known system,
and is one of the most progressive
changes ever made by this market.
While no new faces will be ?een1
in the Greenville warehouses, there |
have been several changes in man
agement. The name of the warehouse |
formerly doing business as Forbes & |
Morton has been changed to Mor
ton's Warehouse, and Morton's will |
he operated by W. Z. Morton, W. Z.
Morton, Jr., and Hubert Morton. G. 1
K. Forbes, formerly with Forbes gr |
Morton, will operate Gorman's Ware
house, assisted by O. L. "York" Joy
ner. The management of all other
warehouses remains the same* with
W S Moye, B. T. Cannon, Harvey
Ward and M. I). Lass iter operating
two houses, the Center Brick and the
Dixie; K. K. Rogers, R. E. Harris and
II. R. Rogers operating the Harris &

The Greenville market, cooperat
ing with President Roosevelt, will
operate strictly on Daylight Savings
Time, starting sales promptly at nine
o'clock. The Greenville Tobacco
Board of Trade, in making this de
cision, considered the tobacco grow
er first. This man, accustomed to
sales starting at nine by the clock,
will not be confused by a change to
a later time, but where nine o'clock

during a marketing season the wea

portion of their crop, and attend to
other farm work. Greenville's ware
houses axe cqfiioueri with the finest
skylights engineering science has
been able to develop, and a careful
check "of the l.ight in every ware
house shows that tobacco can be sold
under ideal conditions at the time
Greenville will start sales.
Tobacco growers should always
check the past record of the Green
ville market before going elsewhere
to sell. The official figures of the
united ft lat.cs Government .give
Greenville a most enviable reputa
tion, and prove beyond all doubt thai
Greenville pays prices higher than
the prevailing market This rfcord
goes hack year after year and while
complete records are not available
over the 50-year period the market
has operated, a cheek back fur the
last 25 years shows that Greenville,
during that time, has sold more than
one billion, one hundred eighty mil
lion pounds of tobacco for North
Carolina tobacco growers This stu
pendous amount of tobacco brought
the growers the almost unbelievable
amount of $259,525,000.00, Or an av
erage of $22 19 for every hundred
pounds of the 1,180,000,000 pounds.
Many thousands of dollars have
been spent in additions and improve
ments to Greenville's big tobacco far
tories and warehouses. The buying
companies .mil waielu.uses in Green
ville are better equipped than ever
before to handle great volumes of
tobacco, and these additions and im
provements will enable the market
to handle big breaks with greater
