cco Market Opens
In Whiteville August 8th
__mists Expect to Witness
One of Greatest Market
ing Seasons
Whiteville, N. C.—Whiteville
•“The Money Market” of the
^Border Belt opens for the sale
pf leaf tobacco Thursday morn
ing, August the 8th. Sales will
* tart promptly at nine and
when Whiteville’s seven score,
pr more, tobacconists start
down the long, seemingly un
ending rows of tobacco spread
on the floors of this city’s six
warehouses the banner season
of the Whiteville market will
have begun. It is stated that
thousands of tobacco growers
will flock to this, a preferred
tobacco market, and will find
a corps of the ablest and most
experienced warehousemen in
the tobacco world there ready
to offer them prompt, courte
ous service. When they have
departed with their checks they
will leave Whiteville feeling
that they have received the
highest market price the buy
ing companies are paying for
their money crop. Those to
bacco growers who have pat
ronized the Whiteville market
In the past are expected to have
the same feeling of satisfac
tion as they did during the past
marketing season and the many
newcomers who will be here
will go home convinced that
they have at last found a mar
ket that is the answer to the
tobacco grower’s prayer; a
market where prices are al
ways high; where prices are
always stabilized, and where
immediate attention to every
patron is the rule.
whitevilie is lortunate m
having six sets of ware
housemen such as the tobacco
{growers will find on this mar
ket. They come to Whitevilie
yearly from the largest markets
•in other Belts that open later,
and in every instance these
men are the outstanding ware
housemen on their respective
markets. These tobacconists
are all born and raised in a
•tobacco environment and their
-Siames are always first men
tioned when the sale of leaf
tobacco is the subject of the
{conversation.
Crutchfields Warehouse, Far
mers Warehouse. Leas Ware
house, Nelson’s Warehouse, the
flew Star Warehouse and Tug
gles Warehouse are the six
•warehouses that willl operate
here this season.
Crutchfield’s Warehouse will
he operated by Paul Taylor and
Everette Matthews of Winston
Salem and Raymond and Gaiter
Crutchfield of Reidsville. Tay
lor and Matthews formerly op
erated a warehouse on the
Kingistree market during the
Border Belt season, but seeing
for the Whitevilie tobacco mar
ket, a more brighter future
than for any other market in
the Border Belt, they came
there. They are both the type
of warehousemen who go on
sale bidding on every grade of
tobacco and pushing the price
UP to the top. They make one
of the hardest working, most
aggressive teams ever seen On
a warehouse floor.
• The Crutchfield boys, Ray
mond and Gaither, are the sons
of one of the South’s outstand
ing tobacconists, Gaither E.
Crutchfield of Reidsville, and
they have been well trained in
tobacco by Mr. Crutchfield.
They are said to be the high
type tobacconists their father
iS.
f armers warenouse is one oi
the new additions to the White
ville market and this house will
.be operated by L. R, Jackson
Wnd Frank W. Jackson. L. R.
Jackson is widely known
throughout the Border, Middle
and Old Belts, having been on
markets in all three. Mr. Jack
son. a man who was one time a
tobacco grower himself, under
stands the problems of the far
mer, he knows the time, labor
-fend expense it takes to grow a
crop and he refuses to let a
single basket of tobacco sold in
his warehouse go to a buyer
for less than its actual worth.
Frank W. Jackson is the son of
I* R. Jackson. Taught tobac
co by his father, Frank is fast
becoming a master tobacconist
fcimjelf.
Leas Warehouse is owned
bud operated by Harry G.
Lea. Harry Lea is one of the
boldest, most courageous ware
housemen on the ftu cured mar
kets. There is * big sign
*">«*»#. k ¥• warehouse:
"Hang It On Pappy”. This
favorite expression of Har
ry’s, while on sale, gladdens
the heart of the tobacco grow
er whenever it is heard. When
Hafry says “Hang It on Pap
py” the grower knows that he
is being protected and that
Harry Lea has just put the
highest, prevailing market
price on a basket of tobacco
rather than see it go for less.
Nelson’s Warehouse is a
warehouse that is an institu
tion on the Whiteville Market.
Owned and operated by Mat
thew Oliver Nelson, Sr., of
Danville, Va., it is a house that
has catered to the tobacco
growers of the Border Belt for
nearly twenty years. Mr. Nel
son is a man that has been in-!
strumental in the building of
the Whiteville tobacco market,
and because of the fine Chris
tian life he has led, and be
cause of his many years of ex
perience as a tobacconist, he
is looked upon as the Dean of
the Wrhiteville warehousemen.
He is ably assisted in the op
eration of his warehouse by a
son, M. O. Nelson, -Jr., Oliver
Nelson has developed rapidly
under the tutelage of his fa
ther and he is expected to rank
alongside of him in the tobaccb
world.
The New Star Warehouse is
another house recently built.
August the 8th it will open its
doors to the tobacco growers
of the Border Belt for the first
time. It will be operated by
W. M. (Bill) Young, W. B. Dan
iel and A. H. Moore of Hender
so">. It is almost useless to
describe Mr. Young to anyone,
he is so well known in the to
bacco belts. For more than
forty-one years a warehouse
man in Henderson he bears the
same title in the Middle Belt
that M. 0. Nelson, his friend
and competitor on the White
ville market bears here. He is
affectionately known as the
Dean of the Middle Belt Ware
housemen. W. B. Daniel, Jr.,
And A. H. Moore are members
of this new firm who will be
active on sale. Two tobaccon
ists who have run sale together
for many years, they know ev
ery characteristic of the other
and consequently tobacco
growers profit by the ease and
regularity with which they con
duct a sale.
Among the foremost of
Whiteville’s Warehouses comes
Tuggle’s. Owned and operat
ed by H. Gordon Tuggle and
A. L. Tuggle, this warehouse
is the oldest on the market.
Gordon Tuggle is called the
“Daddy” of the Whiteville mar
ket. Coming here twenty or
more years ago, when the mar
ket was just about to be drop
ped from the buying -list, his
one thought has been to build
the Whiteville market. His po
sition in the tobacco world is
evidence of the masterful part
he has taken in its develop
ment. Gordon runs the sale
alone. He. needs’ no help and
rather {ffari see a pound of to
bacco go for less than its ac
tual value he buys it himself
and then takes his chance at
losing or breaking even. His
customers know they are pro
tected when they sell with him.
His brother, A. L. Tuggle,
courteous and dignified, is as
sociated with Mr. Tuggle in
the operation of this warehouse
and as a business executive
and a tobacconist, he is near
his equal. *
il he warehousemen of the
W h i t e v i 11 e market can
well be described as the
“Cream of the Tobacco World.”
They are without peer, and to
assist them they have gathered
about them six sales forces that
are as efficient for their vari
ous duties as the owners and
managers. The majority of
these sales forces have been as
sembled and held intact for
years. They are of proven
value and for that reason they
are kept in the service of their
respective warehouses.
. These tobacconists are not
the only inducement offered to
the growers who sell in the
Whiteville market. The staff
of buyers who have been com
ing here from year, to year, and
who will be back again this
season, is one of the finest that
is assigned to any, market.
They are all keen tobacconists,
judges of tobacco who rarely
ever err, and their attitude, to
the farmer is one of frindli
ndss and generosity.' . These
buyers, like ail others, ham
' ■i
their limit, but they are never
hesitant in bidding it. There
are three sets of buyers on the
Whiteville market.
The sales system on the
Whiteville tobacco market , is
one which enables a warehouse
to inform a tobacco grower
weeks ahead of time as to the
day he can sell with him. The
Whiteville warehousemen can
tell a patron the day, or the
hour of the day, he can sell on
a minute’s notice.
Observers declare the White
ville tobacco market’s future is
the brightest in its history.
This season it will make a bid
for leadership in its Belt and
when final figures have been
compiled for the sales on the
nineteen markets in the Border
Belt; after the warehouse
doors have been closed for the
season they anticipate the
Whiteville tobacco market will
occupy a top position along
side of the other great markets
of the flu-cured tobacco world.

son progresses it is thought
that the price will make a con
siderable advance. In practi
cally all opinions it is judged
that the markets in this belt
will be able to offer a higher
price.
Further reports from the
Georgia markets revealed that
an erormous amount of tobac
co was on hand. Hahira re
ported about 600,000 pounds;
Vidalia 250,000; Moultrie 1,
500,000; Valdosta about 1,000,
000; Douglas 750,000; Way
cross about 300,000 and in Tif
ton it was estimated that 500,
000 pounds were on hand there.
This year’s crop in Georgia is
estimated as being approxi
mately 52,500,000 pounds.
Later reports from other
markets showed that prices
ranged over different sections.
A report from Tifton stated
that tobacco sold there from
6 cents to 40 cents a pound.
At some warehouses opening
prices were reported the same
as last year while others were
slightly in advance.
A statement from Tifton said
prices were about the same as
last year. Good tobacco brought
from 20 to 30 cents, medium
was selling from ten to 20
cents, and low grades were un
der ten cents. Very few piles
brought the extremes.
The Tifton statement furth
er reevalqd that farmers of
fering tobacco expressed the
opinion that the demand for
common tobaccos appeared to
be stronger with the market
off slightly on the best grades.
