Tobacco Is
Selling Good
_ In Roxboro
Beat Sale Of The Season Mon
day, With Houses Pretty
? M'ell Kilk'O ?
PRICES IJKELY TO PICK UP!
While we all deplore the fact that :
tobacco is not selling as well as 'it
did a year ago; we are gratified that
our market is ? keeping weji in front
with prides-. In \fact. if you will
compare the sales . here day by day
you .wiH see that it us well hi the
lead. If you want to know just how
it is' selling here all yoy have to
do. is to watch the Courier every week
and vou ' will see in actual "fttnire*
what it. has done for the' past week. .
Last, week the market sold 443,008
pounds for An average, of $217.77. \
hlcsh includes everything, ground |
primings, green tips. etc. This in
no t>or. hundred lowf r
a yeaf ago. Ho\yeyer, we believe the
crop is . better than last year and
should be bringing, more. and. veryi
likely the average will pick up and I
make the same . average,' or possibly
lilgher thflnV the 1926 crop . sold for ,
before the .^ason ;s over.
If there ever was a time when it
would pay a farmer to carry his to- |
bacco' elsewhere ? and we doubt it. ,
f urely there is no earthly reason now
tor it. Hoxboro is offering you every '
advantage arid we .trust the' farmer. \

The Planters

.
In referring to the Planters Ware
house you sometimes h$ar them say
it is. "down in the hollow' . but when
it comes to making big- averages it
is on the hill; and a high hill at that.
Possibly there has been just about
the least complaint at this house,
for their averages hav? consistently
been high.. ' They are all "holme
grown * then, and they know the to
bacco business. They want your next
load and will do for you just what
they have been doing for your neigh

He was glad because on Saturday he
moved into his splendid new home
which he claims cannot be beaten
in Roxboro for comfort and conven
ience and judging from the outside
appearance he must be about right,
