Williamston is, «f course, the nearest point of auction trade to growers in this section «f northeastern Carolina, and the addi tional "warehouse there to be con ducted by A. T. Belch will make of the Martin County seat a keenly large and progressive market in the smaller group of sales places. The tobacco market will open In the Bright Belt district next Thurs day and all of the Williamston auc tion warehouses, including the new one just completed by the Belch in terests, are in readiness for a great: influx of expected business from the growers. Several sets of buyers from each of the great tobacco firms of the east will be on hand daOy through the market, and auctioneers, men you know and men who know you, will see that prices are bid equal if not better than any other market in the State. Mr. Belch is particularly enthused over his expected identification with the Williamston market.
