Friday, January 3, 1936. Jl’HE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Fiv* MILLION DOLLARS PAID FOR TOBACCO IN MOORE COUNTY Five Million Pounds Sold by Growers on Aberdeen and. Carthage Floors STATE AVERAGE 20 CENTS Approximately one million dollars was paid for tobacco on tiie floors of warehouses in Moore county during the season just closed. Aberdeen ends its ltj,5 tobacco season with total sales of over 3,000,- 000 pounds. The figure stood at 2,- 941,200 pounds at the close of Nov ember, and December sales were enough to cross the three million mark. Sales were just under 1,000,000 pounds during the month of Novem ber, 999,476. The average price fell off during the month, due to large quantities of inferior leaf coming on the market as the season reached its close. The month’s average was $17.15 a hundred, as compared with $22.31 for November last year. Carthage sales during Nov'-mber totalled 582,464 pounds, and total sales to December first were 1,- 957,786. The November average was $17.02 as compared with $25,29 for November, 1934. The State summary for November shows total sales of 106,674,128 pounds, and a season total in the state to December 1st of 492,893,462 pounds. With five warehouses not re porting their November sales, there is little doubt w'hen final figures are in that the half billion pound mark was passed in the state by the first of the month. The season’s price to December 1st, 1935 has averaged $20.92 per hundred, as compared with $29.04 to this date last year and $28.44 for the whole of last .season. The sales to December 1st are probably about 88 per cent of the final expected sales, whereas last year’s sales at this date showed 90 percent.

FIRST IN THE NEWS FIRST IN ADVERTISING FIRST IN CIRCULATION Bonus by Broadcast George B. Graff Presents Gifts to Employes in Bos ton Over Unique Hook-up A unique broadcast by telephone was given last week, Tuesday be tween Southern Pines and Boston, Mass. A Christmas party was being given in the factory owned by George B. Graff, now a winter resident of Southern Pines. At a stated time ip the program Mr. Graff was called at his home here over the long distance telephone. The New England Tele phone Co., had privately Installed a loud speaker and connected it with the toll line in his factory in Boston. Mr. Graff spoke to all of his em ployees in person and at the conclu sion of his remarks called each one forward to be presented by the treas urer of the company with a check for a substantial bonus as his share of the profits from the business during the year 1935. It was a surprise to all the employees and, needless to say, enjoyed by all. This was the first time a broadcast of this nature had ever been attempted in New England, but was so successful, every word be ing heard clearly and distinctly, that it is safe to say It will be tried often in the future. Only approximately 15 per cent of the prison population in California is composed of “native sons.” Re-Roof NOW While Costs Are Low • • • with Johns-nanville Asphalt Shingles We have just received a new carload Backed by more than 50 years experience in manufac turing Quality roofings—Johns-Manville Asphalt Shin gles actually COST NO MORE than other asphalt shin gles ...
