PAGE EIGHT
To the Tobacco Growers of Robeson and Columbus Counties of N.
C. and Horry, Dillon and Marion Counties of S. C.
A great deal has been said to the tobacco growers around each and all the markets of the above mention
ed territory and attractive demonstrations have been made, the object of which is to mislead or induce the
farmers to sell their tobacco where it is quite likely it would not be to their best interest to do so. The time
has long since passed that the tobacco growers of this section will be misled by Booster trips and the racket
of a brass band. The cost of gasoline and the wear and tear of automobiles add nothing to the value of your
product. At Fairmont tobacco market the best auctioneers that can be had arid experienced salesmen make .
the most profitable music you can listen to, if you want the top dollar for your tobacco; and too, in North
Carolina, we sell tobacco for 25c auction fees, but just across the line in South Carolina, the .farmers are
charged twice that amount for the same piles of tobacco at Fairmont. We sell tobacco and say but little.
You get honest weight, a square deal and the highest market price for your tobacco.
During the few days we jiave been open, E. J. Chambers & Co., proprietors of the Old Reliable Fairmont
Tobacco Warehouse have sold over 400,000 pounds of tobacco at prices that were entirely satisfactory.

We think it would be to your best interest to investigate the Fairmont market before you sell too much of.your
crop. When it comes to a good corps of buyers we challenge any market in the South Carolina belt. No better set
of buyers can be found on any market. The warehousemen in Fairmont know your tobacco, they know how to sell it.
We invite you to sell with us. Yours very truly,
E. J. CHAMBEKS & COM
PANY
P. S. We sold Tuesday at the Fairmont Tobacco Warehouse 60,000 pounds of tobacco for an average of
$20.59 per hundred, this includes every pile of tobacco on our floor.
