Charlie Phaup Is In [
Williamston This Year
The Farmers Warehouse in Wil
liamston is now in a better position
than ever before to successfully solve
the problem of selling tobacco to the
very best advantage of the grower.
With Messrs. W. R. Ingram and

plenty of activity at the Farmers
Warehouse this season.
Prices have been good and what
ever they are, farmers can rest as
sured that Barnhill, Ingram and
Phaup will get the highest dollar for
tobacco. They have devoted years
to the study and handling of tobacco
and have gained the reputation that
tobacco entrusted to them will bring
' top market prices.
C. H. Phaup was last year asso
ciated with the Ahoskie tobacco mar
ket. He has many friends in Cho
, wan and Bertie counties, and invites
, them to come to the Farmers Ware
, house at Williamston, where he is
