Fountain's new wsrehous* e&e" and equipped with the newest of fa cilities, was built as a means of con tinuing the progress and develop ment of the market and is a brick and mortar testimonial of K. A. - Fountain and Sons' tremendous faith in the future of Faroville as a to bacco mlno center. Starting as a small country store keeper, thirty-seven years ago, at a cross roads, which later developed into a wide awake and progressive town and was named for him, R. A. Fountain proved to be an honest, .de pendable friend and merchant. As a consequence Mr. Fountain's business grew by leaps and bounds until the, Farm vi lie section as well as his own and others nearby began to recognise the owner's qualifications as a suc cessful and efficient business man, who lent his energies to. promote the welfare of his customers and com munity. As the years went by Mr. Foun tain's sons, Robert A., Jr., and John, grew to manhood and took their re spective places as assistant mana gers in the business, which hps con tinued each year to produce a great er volume of patronage under their guidance. As Farmville citizens have ex pressed from time to time their ap preciation to R. A. Fountain & Sens for this expansion of warehouse space which will doubtless bring many new customers to this market, stimulate . interest and friendly competition and serve as an avenue, of progress, so we bespeak for them the liberal sup port they deserve from citizens- of Farmville and community. Tobacco Honey Scarce Washington, D. C. ? There is no surplus of honey. Officials of the Agriculture Department said a check up on supplies showed that virtually all the 1937 crop had been consumed. Honey producers no longer must de pend on a breakfast table market Large quantities of honey are now used in making pipes, including that for casing and flavoring tobacco. Recent heavy rains damaged the Martin County tobacco crop consid erably. # V-{ )pg|M Jjfcttjjf? 22 ?MMMMMW* l-.
