FROM YEAR TO YEAR THE
INCREASE IN OUR TRADE
HAS BEEN STEADY
AND HEALTHY
We are gratified to note the good
feeling that exists between our
Xriends in the country and town and
let us urge upon all the, great im
portance of united efforts in be
half of our splendid tobacco market.
Oxford can only hope to bet what our
people make her, then let us redouble
our energies and show to the world
that our market, already the equal of
any, shall make still further strides
onward and upward. .
We are proud of the. liberal pat
ronage our market receives and our
people are determined to merit its
continuance. Our friends in the coun
ty are realizing that Oxford and
her people are their real friends and
brethren. This is our town and none
but the best of feeling should exist.
The farmer should rejoice to see
Oxford rapidly building up. Our in
terest are nfutual and reciprocal.
Every wave of prosperity to Oxford
enriches the country and vice versa.
Let us go hand in hand and shoul
der to shoulder, upholding each other'
till our own home town and market
ranks among the best in the State.
We can do this easily by concert of
action and zealous efforts.
For about half a centry Granville
and the adjoining counties have en
joyed the reputation of producing
and curing the finest bright tobacco
known to the trade, and this reputa
tion is not confined within the limits
of our own country, but extends in
foreign lands. t Competent ' judges
and eminent chemists pronounce our
tobacco the bet in flavor and finest j
in texture.
When bright tobacco was firs made
in this country' our farmer friends
had no home market for it and were
compelled to sell in Petersburg and
other places. To sell on these dis
tant markets not only took much of
their time, but was quite expensive
and something had to be done to re
lieve them of this burden a market
more convenient was the outcome
and early in the seventies we find Ox
ford one of the pioneers in establish
ing a loose market in North Carolina.
At that ime we had no railroad fa
cilities, but our people had faith in 4
the ultimate succ3is cf the enter
prise and knowing the quality of our
tobacco they felt assured that Oxford
must forge to the front as one of the
leading markets. Situated in the
Golden Belt of North Carolina,
the eapital'of a county where grows
the perfection in brigh tobacco, and
with ample facilities for handling it,
Oxford can. with becoming modesty,
boast of' being in the front ranks as
a market.
From year to year the increase in
our trade has been steady and heal
thy. This is but the natural result
of the honest and fair dealings of
the men who have charge of the to
bacco trade. The on'-? idea all along ;
has been to put Oxford 'where she de
serves to be, in list of tobacco mar
kets, first and foremost. There has
never been a time in the history of
our market when we were in better
shape than now. Strong warehouse
teams, buyers with orders for more
tobacco than this section can supply,
with ample meansto back them, all
combine, to make Oxford the most
desirable market in North Carolina
or Virginia for bright tobacco. With
a strong pull, a long pull and a pull
altogether our tobacco men are deter
mined to keep up Oxford's great

You should sell your tobacco on
the high-average Oxford because she

prices obtainable; because there are'
oredrs enough on market for. more
tobacco than this section grows; be
