TOBACCO!
We are glad to say to our friends and customer that all grades have consider
ably ad vamx-d since Christmas. Bright wrappers, cotters and strips are highet
than they have been iu several years, and show that Aslieville is the place to tell
lobuccos raised in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. ,
The exporters and manufacturers who need the type of tobacco raised in this
section have their buyers on this market, aud are paying more for it here than else
where.! ' . . :- .-, ; ,
We would warn our customers against the drummers and agents who arc paid
big salaries to induce shipments to other markets than this, by promises to sell at
reduced commissions. After your tobacco is shipped It is from under your control,
and when you receive returns there it always an excuse for low prices, claiming to
bacco to be damaged,' etc., etc, f .:. . .
We have, with great expense, made the Farmers' Warehouse "

where you attend the talcs of your own tobacco, or have it sold in a few days alter
shipment. t 1 r .... ..
