GORMAN'S MARKET REPORT
The sales have finished each day this week shortly after dinner. On any sale from now out we can get you sold before or a~
round dinner hour, regardless of what sale we have. Prices at Gorman's have held up well during the week, but it has taken a
knowledge of grades and values and nerve to back this to get the top market value.
The better grades showed more strength with us on Thursday. Our customers are all going home satisfied, and each day
many come and thank us for their good sale telling us they received more money than they had expected.
Bring us your tobacco, compare our sales with any other market or warehouse, and we believe you will be convinced that
t Gorman's is the place to sell. * ,
We have first sale Monday, Second Sale Tuesday, First Sale Wednesday. The market closes Friday for the holidays, and
will reopen on January 11th. -

It is reasonable to expect one to
remember the happenings of one day
for 24 hours, but when the time comes
to tell it to the judge, it seems as if
it is importable for those involved to
relate the facts as they were.
Probably the stretched truth results
after the insurgents have had time to
ponder over the matter. But to stop
and think then is too late. Certainly
a few thoughts before it all happened
would have spared those in trouble so
many thoughts now.
