on these two days, Mr. J.JA.
Dixon who bought on this mark
et last year will go on the iloors
here tins week to buy for the
Imperial Company, one of the
highest priced concern un the
markets of the world. The
personel of the companies and
their buyers on the Walnut Cove
market, which may prove of
interest to the farmers, is as
follows : American Tobacco Co.,
Mr. H. L. Byrd, buyer: Liggett-
Myers Co., Mr. R. P. Sartin,
buyer: Imperial Co., Mr. J. A.
Dixon, buyer: Kxport Co.. Mr.
B. S. Young, buyer. Besides
these there are several others
who buy a great deal of the
weed on orders from the differ
ent smaller concerns in Danville,
Winston and other places,
among these are Messrs. Hutch
erson. Ball, Lasley, Fagg and
others. Without reflection on
any other market there is no
doubt that Stokes county farm
ers will do as well to sell their
tobacco in Walnut Cove as any
where in the state and every
man who feels an interest in his
county and believes in building
up permanent home industries
should try selling at least one
load with the houses at this
place. •
