At a meeting of the Commer
cial Club on Monday night the
question of building one or moe
tobacco warehouses and a large
prize house was discussed and
the enterprize most favorably
considered by all those present.
This was the largest and most
enthusiastic meeting the club
has had since its organization,
and by the way the stronger
members have taken hold of the
matter and gone to work, leaves
no question as to the outcome of
the project, and we can safely
promise our farmers who plant
tobacco next year that they will
have one or more first-class
warehouses right here at home
in which to sell their crops, and
now it is up to the farmers them
selves to plant enough of the
weed to assure its success as a
market.
It takes about 800,000 pounds
o. tobacco to draw the big buyers
to a local market, and this .is
what causes the best prices. The
average yield is from 800 to 1000
pounds to the acre, consequently
f we can be assured of 100 acres
or more being planted in tobacco
next year our farmers are cer-
1 tain to get the highest prices
rfght at home without the ex
pense and inconvenience of hav
ing to go from 25 to 50 miles
away to market their products,
and this means that the small
farmer, raising only four acres,
or one barn, of tobacco will be
safe in making the venture in
this big money crop.
The estimated cost of the .first
warehouse is about $25,000.00, it
to be built of brick, 100x250 feet
in size and the prize house four
stories in height. To raise this
money and make it interesting
to all, it is proposed to form a
corporation, placing the shares
at $50.00 each, par value, and
non-assessable. These shares
wre made at this low figure so
that every farmer owning tobac
co land would be able to take one
or more shares, and It is hoped
that all will avail themselves of
this opportunity to become a
stockholder in the corporation,
and to this end committees are
now out soliciting subscriptions
in all territory adjacent to this
market. They will distribute
cards on which you are to pledge
the amount of stock you will
take, and at the bottom you are
asked to indicate the number of
acres you expect to plant in to
bacco next year. The latter is
not a pledge, but simply to use
as data in future development.
In case you should not get one
of these cards and wish to be
come a subscriber, we print it
elsewhere in this paper, and ask
that you cut it out, fill in the
blanks, sign it and mail it to Mr.
A. L. Owens, Plymouth, N. C.
Tobacoo has greatly enriched
many counties with no better
tobacco land than we have ; the
prire, 'owing to the TVar, is sure
to be more than good for several
years yet. The opportunity to
better our condition is now
knocking at our. door. Shall we
neglect it?
