BUT WAR BONDS—Have (—Held 1 READY F0» OPENING (Continued From Page One) known in every town and city that speaks the language of tobacco. And what has brought this prestige and distinction to its name?, Without hesitation any Farmville citi-J zen wfill answer your question in four r word., "TH* FARMVILLE TOBAC-I CO MARKET." Itl with tw vllle Tobacco Market has used sach| of its forty-one yun u a ■ton* to a new record of i developing into Farm villa's ■d reflecting the i foresigfct and initiative of the pioneer tobacconists and the buainefle man who supported the venture to rain a n|w artery of commerce and thus increase the flow of. trade and barter to this community. Prime Fasten During' these forty-one yean of the market's eTlttmre, a wonderful snd almost unbelievable improvement in transferrin* the weed to market— from mule drawn vehicles to motor trucks—and in highway transforms-1 tion have made its marketing service accessible to every kection of the country. Four Warehouses As in the past four yean, two of the best known leaf sales firms in the industry will run two houses each, here; Monk's Warehouses, composed of J. Y. Monk, Jr., J. C. Carlton sad Kobert D. Rouse, is a firm of experienced and popular warehousemen with two houses in full operation; Knott's Warehouses No. 1 and No. 2, are spain under the management of R. H. Knott, Grover H. Webb, John N. Fountain and Jack Moye, who make a team of four of the most prominent sad successful tobacconists in the Bright Leaf Qelt. Meeting patrons needs in a way patrons like and acting as a prime factor in the steady growth of the market are the facilities and conveniences of the four leaf sales houses, which provide every possible service to the warehouse forces and the patrons in handling their product The personnel of the warehouses has been selected for proven ability and experperience. All of this brings comment from farmers and gives favorable and invaluable publicity to the market every year. Both warehouse firms have a first sale every day of the season, giving the grower the assurance of a sale at either house on the day he brings his tobacco to market, and the Farmville warehousemen are patting forth every effort and adopting every feasible plan for the convenience of patrons and to smash sll records in sales and averages sgain this falL Board of Trade The Farmville Tobacco Board of Trade, of which H. H. Bradham, a buyer for the Fftrmville Tobacco Co„ is president, has functioned since the early days of the market sad has successfully coordinated all efforts to laintain the integrity of the market Tw.1 tm has been om of- the tages enjoyed by the Farmville 111 Wet during the forty-one ye*n of existence. A majority of 1 rending tore tot for successive mhom, ere well 1 and are highly regarded by farmers] visiting this J Two seta of buyer*, representing' every known company and many in-J dependents, make up the corpe oil the the market and are among the best to' be found anywhere. Included among! these companies are two local buying firms, A. C. Monk A Company, which' has Aught extensively of the tobaccos on this market since A C. Monk | purchased the first pile sold here on opening day in 1904, and the Farmville Leaf "Tobacco Company, which was formed in 1940 with EL Neal Howard, former head of the local, branch of the W. B. Lea Tobacco Co., J as president. Support Market . All of these factors have contribut-j ed greatly to the rapid development of the Armville market, but it has been the enthusiastic leaden who have furnished the motivating energy and force in a tide, which could not be stemmed; leaden in business thought and vision. Ever supporting these leaden have been the citizens of Farmville, the rank and file, who have evidenced supreme confidence in the' market and inspired in every promoter the desire to merit this trust , 'J There can be no doubt that this mutually beneficial spirit of good will between tobacconists, business men and citizens is th4 most treasured a£ set of the Farmville Market today and is the real secret of its expansion and success. — To Top Record With the yield this year foreast as the largest since 1939, the Farmville Tobacco Market, with a reputation and record to uphold;' with courteous and efficient forces working in each of the four warehouses being operated this season; with a spirit of competition prevailing on this mar-1 ket which carries every pile sold to; the limit, is not merely endeavoring to retain its laurels as the leader of Eastern Carolina, but is out to ahat- ( ter all previous records with a new high fpr 1945. All of these incentives are coupled with the bettered facilities of the ■ Farmville Tobacco Market with new records for pounds sold and top average established from season to season. All facts that make the claim of tobacconists here sound plausible; "Tobacco sells higher in Farmville warehouses."
