Opening of Market is a

The soldiers are in training camps;
administration heads are busy with
the problems of a nationwide defence
program; the civilian population is
striving to contribvte the greatest
support to both forces by production!
and more production; the marriage I
bureaus continue to work overtime; [
interest is keen in world and national
affairs; buying and selling charts are |
upcurving fast; all of which is news jj
... news, good and bad, which is pre-j
sented to the people daily by tbalj
press and the radio, but the berti^
news to people of this community at J
this time is that "The Farmville To-1
bacco Market Will Open Tuesday, j
August 26th, and PRICES ARE
GOOD."
A native weed to Carolina, tobacco |
has been cultivated in the State since ["
the earliest colonial days and has I
-been accorded a high place in its J
economic life and definitely estab-r
lished as the best money crop of this!
section, which owes it growth and de
velopment to this important industry L
that adds pleasure to the lives of!
millions. j
Signs point to a banner season and]
all predictions are that this will be
one of the most prosperous In years.!
This will be due in part to the good
crop in this section of the State, and J
to the reduced yield forecast, but f
? r,
principally to the guarantee of gov- j
eminent price stabilisation, which I
will result from the AAA three yenrj
control referendum of lest year. Sol
farmers, tobacconists and business
men of Farmville will await the I
dawn on Tuesday with uplifted faces!
and high hopes.
The opening of the market acts as]
a powerful stimulant to all activities!
in Farmville.' Something of this mul
tiplex activity is rejected in the
pages of this issue, which has been
dedicated to the Farmville Tobacco
Market by the business men of the
town.
Farmers generally are hopeful, for
statistics the first of July proved
that the farm income for the United
States is higher that last year, aad
that proepedts of demand for farm
products will continue to be heavy
for sometime. Prices for livestock,
poultry and dairy products have been
stimulated by the Food-For-mdene*
program, which has bees designed to
keep the army moving on its stomach,
and cotton and other commodities,
assume as iwjortaat role in the pre

The Farmvflle Market
Your Market"
'.?? ? -
The fall of 1941 marks the 57th
anniversary of the founding of the
Farmville Tobacco market, ' which is
Farmvilie's most important enter
prise and the town and community's
pride ac?1 joy. The story of the prog
ress of the market is one of extra
ordinary happenings. From the year
of its birth, there has been a growing
demand for larger warehouse space,
the employment of more men and the
supplying of more of the varied facil
ities ^equate to care for an increas
ed volume of aales^
Realising that a superior quality of
tobacco was being raised in this im
Wiftdlate section that, it was being
grown in greater quantities each year,
a group of enterprising and energetic
business men beld a meeting in top ;
spring of 1904 and discussed the pos
sibilities of a tobacco sales market
for Fannville. The idea was broadcast
and grew in favor by leaps and
bounds until a few weeks later a
for the masterful undertaking, the
contract for two wooden structures
whs let and the ring of the hammer
was soon heard on the opposite corn
ers of Wilson Mid Field streets, the
sites of the first warehouses.
This market has Bteadily grown
only a few thousand pound*, the
modern tobacco town of Fannville is
now a model of compactness, conven- * .
ience and efficiency, brought into a
real existence about twenty three
years ago, when'the present group
?of .gigantic brick buildings rose out m
of the ashes of the old wooden houses
used during the years following its
leaf sales houses have replaced the
cradles that rocked the .infant man* .
ket, andeaijh one of the thirty ?m*
Stepping rtone to a. new record of
achievement, bringing a justified
pride to the warehousemen and citi
zens
I it the attention <rf theLtobac^worfd. ?
The tobacco sales season in Farm
ville is starting with a great show of
virility this year for the market baa #
been gregtfy strengthened by the'
merging of the firm of Fountain's
warehouse with that of Knott's. This
