Thirty-third Year of Service Here

J. Y. Monk, Jr., Johnnie Carlton
and R. D. Rouse, Taken into
the Firm to Help Handle
Growing Patronage
Thirty-three years ago, two years
after the organization of the Farm
ville Tobacco Market, J. Y. Monk be
gan his career as warehouseman
when, in 1907, he established the
first Monk's Warehouse. The pro
gress made by this firm has been one
of great records in poundage sold
and yearly averages made. For sev
eral years, this firm sold more to
bacco under one roof than any other
warehouse in the world.
This rapid development and splen
did record is not unbelievable to those
who really know Mr. Monk and those
who work with him. Mr. Monk has
instilled in all his warehouse asso
ciates the one qualification which has
carried him to the heights in the
business; that of being a year-round
warehouseman. Realizing his physi
cal inability to take care of his in
creasing patronage as he wished, Mr.
Monk a few years ago took in some
younger blood which he had trained,
to assist him in better serving the
tobacco growers of this section, so
he added to the firm his son, J. Y.
Monk, Jr., Johhnie Carlton, and Rob
ert Rouse who are all held in high
esteem by farmers and buyers alike,
and their success in winning the con
fidence and good will of both buyer
and seller in a valuable asset to the
market
These men are the same wher
ever you see them; whether you are
driving in one of their warehouses
with your tobacco for sale or wheth
er you pass them on the street in
the middle of February. Each of
them is an enterprising warehouse
man with a sincere desire to obtain
the highest dollar for their thousands
of farmer friends.
The policies of Monk's Warehouses
have attracted and held the intense
loyalty of a number of capable men
and women, each of whom is a val
uable member of the force.
Congratulations to "J. Y." and his
associates on their thirty-third anni
versary!

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE
Amazed and alarmed at the spec
tacular .strides of Hitler's army in
Europe, the American people realize
at last that prompt steps must be
taken to insure the safety of this
country.
As Hitler's mechanized divisions
and superior aircraft struck at the
Belgians, British and French Last
week in desperate battle, the Presi
dent of the United States, appear
ing in Congress to deliver a special
message, asked for 1896,000,000 in
addition to almost $2,000,000 carried
in the regular Army and Navy hp
propriation bills.
Of this amount approximately
$546,000,000 would be expended for
the Army and $250,000,000 for the

Rations amounting to $186,000,000

explained that the money and auth- s

dent would be used largely bo in- i

Since September 1st, said the Pres
dent, new lessons have been learned

irged increased productive capacity

Certainly the President emphasiz
ed the increasing importance of air
craft in national defense. The sur
prising use of planes in connection
with Germany mechanized units,
particularly to blast production cen
ters in countries attacked, caused the |
President to recommend that the pro
ductive capacity of this nation be
geared to turn out 50,000 plane a
year. He expressed belief that the
Army and Navy should have that
many1 airplanes..
p ? .
The present productive capacity of
the aircraft industry in this country
was estimated at 12,000 planes a
year. Twelve months, ago it was
6,000 planes a year, but now, due to
foreign orders for planes, productive
capacity has been doubled. The
President would extend this pro
ductive ? capacity by super-imposing
new and enlarged facilities upon the
existing plants.
Jn this connection, it is impossible
to exaggerate the tremendous effect
of the blitzkrieg in this country. The
vicious assault of Germany upon the
small neutrals. The Netherlands and
' \
Belgium, coupled with the vigor of
their drive against French and Brit
ish soldiers, compels Americans to
face'the possibility of Allied defeat*'
This means, of course, standing face
to face with a triumphant and powk
erful Germany. Immediately, there
was general recognition of. the in
ability of the United States, with
its present Army and Navy and
productive plants to exert the force
which may be necessary to safeguard
the vital interest of the countries in
this hemisphere.
Last week the average American
perceived very clearly the conditions
of the democratic nations across the

Cashier of The Bank of Farmville
? A. C. MONK
President of A. C. Monk & Co., and
The Bank of Farmville. He was also
one of the active stockholders of the
Farmville Enterprise in its beginning
Atlantic, now fighting an aggressive
enemy under the handicap of inade
quate preparations. A determined
resolution that this country shall not
be caught in a similar condition led
the .immediate revision of existing .
plans in connection with the Army,
Navy and MarineTkrps. Never be
fore, in times of peace, has the Unit^
ed States, as a nation, taken such
deliberate action for the expansion
of its fighting services.
? .* c'
The President pointed out that
in recent years the offenaivte power
of the nation has been increased. To
day, the Navy is stronger than ever
with new construction underway that,
ship for ship, is equal to or better
than the vessels of any other pow
er. The Army, he said, is at its
greatest peace-time strength. Its
equipment, in in;reased quantities
and improved quality has been great
ly improved and the reserve strength
of the fighting force is in better con
dition now than at any period of
peace. " - '
Space is not available this week
to give any thorough summary of
the detailed plan of expansion..
Thd writer would like to point out,
however, that national sentiment for
preparedness reached a ne,w peak
largely through fear that Germany
would win the decisive battle raging
in Belgium and France.
/
While prophecy is perilous at all
times, we are a bit afraid that if
the threat of a victorious Germany
fades, the peopi^ of this country will
once more listen to the seductive plea
of the pacifists and forego the duty
which now confronts the nation in a
critical, if not perilous, year.
