With the same management, anil
with a continued high quality -of
service and top-notch prices assured
the Farmers Warehouse opens next
Tuesday with one of its brightest
jears in view. With its mariage
agement, the Farmers Warehouse is
making one of the strongest bids
for tobacco as any house in the
world. It does not offer the things
impossible, but it does offer, and
does so in no uncertain terms,' the
things that are so essential in the
running of a warehouse.
Its personnel is not lacking in
experience; the house, while not the
largest in the world, is as suitable
for the sale of leaf tobacco as any
in the world. This house made an
enviable record last year in the bus
iness here, and even a better record
is expected this season. The man
agers are out for the record; and
if the best of service, top-notch
prices, courtesy, and fair treatment
have anything to,jJp with it. they
will make it, too.
During the past several months,
these men have been at w»rk; and
that -they will meet with success
is assured, Mr. J-fubert Morton,
one of the firm's proprietors, has

the market for the past several
years; and during that time he has

Every compartment of the Union
Storage Warehouse has been leased
by the tobacco companies having
buyers here. The use of this storage
house means much to the market as
does every storage house to any
market. This extra storage space
prevents tobacco from being piled
up in the warehouses after it is
bought; it enables"an even buy
since otherwise the market breaks
would crowd the market.
The I'nion Storage Warehouse is
located on the tracks of the A. C. L.

the hanking circles ot county and
State. That, it has had its trials

when it pulled through with flvitiK
colors the trying times of 1907,
1914, and 1920.
Where steps of progress have
been made, the bank in the majori
ty of cases has lent its aid; and of
tentimes gone forward toward
bringing about better conditions in
both home and business. Of this
it does not boast; it would rather
have it known that this is its duty.
Hut of what it does boast, not in
'any superior :wav at all, is of its
strength; Uncle Sam has nothing
cm it when he comes down and
compares, man to man, to get the
strength of the two.
Back of the institution are men
with sound and conservative
thoughts; men ever on the alert to
protect the interest of more than
3,000 depositors who have placed
their faith and confidence upon their
judgment.
The bank has been in ils new
