DAN BURY REPORTER VOLUME XLIII. FORMER STOKES MAN RETURNS Brings Bride With Him From the Far West—Farm Work In the King Section. King Route 2, Sept. 27.—The farmers of this section are finish ing cutting and curing tobacco. The crop is not as bright as was expected. Some of our farmers are plowing and preparing land for a wheat crop. Fertilizer is so high that the people should be very careful in preparing wheat land and get it well pulverized. It will cost between six and seven dollars per acre to get a wheat crop sown and if you don't average as much as 10 bushels per acre it is a loss of time and money, but this is one of the sure ways to make bread. On March 1, 190S, Mr. Thos. Smith, son of Mr. T. B. Smith, of King Route 2, left home and went to Portland, Oregon, where he spent five years of his life after which he went to Califor nia, where he spent two years, and on the fith of August he was married to Miss Minnie Drafig, of Oregon. On Monday, Sept. 20th thev started on their journey to the groom's parents and arrived at King Sept. 19th at 11 o'clock where the groom's father had a conveyance ready to meet them and on his arrival Farmers Warehouse The Gorrells I I Gorreil's Warehouse "ALL THE TIME" Headquarters For Stokes Tobacco Farmers Who Want The Highest Prices and Best Accommodations. TO OUR MANY FRIENDS IN STOKES : Our market will be in full swing within a few days now and we are expecting you to come to see us. We are expecting you simply for the reasons that we believe that you know that we have two of the best lighted warehouses in the state, two exceptional good auctioneers, accommodations for you and your stock unsurpassed by any ware house, an efficient force to handle your tobacco, and finally because The Gorrell boys will get you MORE MONEY for your tobacco than any other warehouse anywhere can get for you. We have been in the warehouse business all our life--long enough to have learned what tobacco is and the highest price each buyer will pay for each grade. It is our business to make every pile bring the high figure, and this we do. Do you know that the highest price paid for a pile of tobacco on the Winston market last year was paid in Farmers Warehouse and that a Stokes man was the grower? Do you know that we got $496.88 for the tobacco that was grown on one acre in 1913, this being by far the highest price ever paid on our market for the yield from one acre? Do you know that the highest average ever made by a Winston warehouse on a day's sale was made bv Gorrells, the average being $23.06 ? We mention these facts merelv to prove to you that the GOR RELLS SELL IT HIGHER. Now as for the coming year. We know it is going to take harder work than ever to sell this crop. The to bacco trade is not in as good condition as we had hoped it to be. Therefore, it is imperative on your part to sell with men who have been selling Stokes tobacco for years. Our experience is worth something to you. We have been selling Stokes tobacco so long that we know it as few others do. We trust you will bring us your first load, and we feel sure we wijl get you prices that cannot be touched by any other house. We will have a first sale every day after Oct. Ist--and you won't have to wait until late in the day to sell. Come to see us. We will expect you. Your friends, THE GORRELL BOYS. FIRST SALE DAYS FOR OCTOBERS-FARMERS--Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.
