Tobacconists Are Predicting One Of Greatest Years In History
i Of Sanford Market—-Three Warehouses Making Preparations
To lhke Care Of From Ten To Twelve Million Pounds Tobacco
'*£*%■ — ' r -rr— . w‘ ’ „ . “
Sanford is confidently looking forward to next Tuesday as the
greatest tobacco opening in the history of the local market. Al
ready the stage is being set for the reception of • thousands of
pounds of the golden weed and the consensus of local warehouse
men, buyers and veteran observers of . tobacco prices is that the
prices here will ‘look upward.” From afiradius of fifty miles and
beyond boosters of the local market are predicting the three ware
houses will sell between ten and twelve million pounds 'this year,
fast year the local market doubled its sales over the year before;
this year the chances are that'last year’s sales, the greatest in ali i
the market’s history, will be more than doubled. . «,
' Three- Warehouses.
As last year there will be three
warehouses in operation. The 3-W
-Warehouse, under the management bf
W. F. Wood last year, will be operat
ed again by Mr. Wood but by part
nership with Mitehell Guthrie, an ex
perienced tobacconist ' and a former
buyer for, the Imperial Tobacco Co.;
• f Tilley’s Warehouse is to; be run by
A. J. Tilley who begins his third year
in the tobacco business here.. Will
Tilley, associated with this warehouse
; last season, will be associated with
Hester, aiid Jordan in the operation
of the Farmer’s Warehouse. '
' All three warehouses are manned
by able and experienced tobacconists
- who are acquainted with the type of
tobacco prbduced in this_ section and
whose knowledge of current prices
for this particular type will-enable
them to gat the growers the highest
market price. „ .
;?■ r- ’ Optimistic Trend. .
■-.y A number of’tobacconists associat
; ed with local warehouses have recent
ly covered the1 territory from which
; the Sanford market draws its tobacco
and they express themselves as'well
pleased at ‘ local prospects. While
there j^Joauch common tsbaccoln this
section, they are of the opinion that
,there is a sufficient amount of good
tobacco to more than make up for
that which is short in quality. ~ While
prices are largely problematical, those
' * AaViTbeen oh the border markets
last year, if not a shade to the better.
Local tobacco warehousemen look
forward to the greatest tobacco year
in so far as sales are concerned in
the history of the market. While the
markets sales last season were slight
ly over five milliofl pounds, it is be
lieved that the greatly increased acre
age of tobacco in this section and the
steadily growing reputation of the
Sanford market will make ten or
twelve million pounds not a visionary
figure for the market to attain this
year. :
Fine Cooperation. ■
une good omen tor the local market
is the fact that the City’s business
men are lined, solidly behind; the ware
housemen • in the' effort to build the
local market end to enable it to attain
the highest functions of sfervice to the
growers. Already ' they have sub
scribed a large sum of money to be
spent in various forms of advertising
for the market the result of which
should be to greatly enlarge the scope
pf territory and the number of grow
ers to be served by this market, San
ford business men and residents plan
a cordial reception for the vising
farmers this season. ' A number of
entertainments ■ are to be. arranged
and a sincere effort made to get ac
quainted with the tohacco growers
of this section, both for better fellow
ship, and to better acquaint the grow
ers wih Sanford and its splendid to
bacco market.

over Lefe and adjoining counies dur

that th tobacco crop had been badly
damaged by the^wet weather in Au-'

grade, but short. Although he gave
rather a gloomy picture of the condi

good tobacco and thinks there will be
more tobacco sold on the local market

thinks there will be from 6,000,000
to 7,000,000 pounds put on the mar

section more friendly to the .Sanford
market than in past seasons and about
r®ady to give this market a fair trial,
all the planters he has seen seem

denly passed away at the Methodist
parsonage on ‘■Summitt Avenue al
2:45. Members of his s church anc
friends in the town, arid communitj

but they were not- prepared for the
worst. He went away lor a rest dur
ing'the summer and his friends hop
ed that he would return stronger and
better prepared to carry on his work,
i He came down that morning, but stat
ed to friends whom he met that he
was not feeling very well. When
members of the family discovered that
he was critically ill physicians were
called in, but Mr. Cotton passed away
before anything could be dene for his
relief. The disease that ended his
life in the vigor of manhood was pro
nounced angina pectoris. He peace

FARMERS HOUSE
SEE GOOD YEAR
E. J. Hester, W. P. Jordan and J.
\V. Tilley To Operate
This House.
Though the youngest warehouse in
the fact that its operators, Messrs. E.
J. Hester and W. P. Jordan are only
beginning their second year here, the
Farmer’s Warehouse made a fine rec
ord last year and is expecting to con
tribute much toward the success of
the local market this year. Mr. J. W.
Tilley, the third partner, however, be
gins his third year on the Sanford
market, having for the past two years
been associated with his brother, A.
J. Tilley, in running Tilley’s Ware
house.
All three of the men connected with
this warehouse are veterans in fhe to
bacco business and know tobacco.
In a statement published elsewhere
in this paper, they state their ware
house has been repaired and that they
are in better shape than ever before
to handle tobacco.
POULTRY SALE
NEXT SATURDAY
POULTRY SALS .
A cooperative poultry sale will be
held in .Sanford on September 26th.
The sale will be held at Palmer and
Reeves Stable on Errdor Street,, where
a truck and coops will be ready to
receive the poultry from 9 A. M. to
3 P. M. Prices for this sale wdll be
published in next week’s issue of this
paper. This sale will afford a good
opportunity to sell young roosters,
but no pullets should be sold. They
should be kept for layers or to sell
next spring as hens when prices
should be higher.
Sanford is one of the few towns in
this ‘section of the state where a co
operative poultry sale has been held
each month of tnis year. Prices have
not alwcays been satisfactory, but we
have always been able to get the top
of the market at these sales. The
market is stronger now on some
grades and we hope that prices will
be better during the fall and winter
months.
E. O. McMahan, County Agent.
KFIRDS OPEN ANOTHER
LINK IN LONG CHAIN
Next Saturday an Efird store will
>e opened at .Smithfield. This is the
17th store to be opened since years
'go the Efird brothers openeii what
.vas known as the ‘Tice Hive” in,
Charlotte. There are five of the Efird
mothers who were horn and raised on
t farm in Anson County. From that
me small establishment in Charlotte
las grown a business so large that
hose men today pay more state and
county taxes than any other mer
hants in the state. The organization
las grown to such an extent that they
my in large quantities, thus making
t possible to give to the purchasing
■ublic unusual values for the money
laid. The organization has for its
logan: “We buy for less, and sell
or less.”
