Tobacco Sales
Have Changed,
Says Blanchard
“If you told young people today
about how tobacco sales were con
ducted in the old days they would
not believe you,” said a pioneer
in the tobacco profession, O. C.
Blanchard, Sr., said recently.
Mr. Blanchard, who with Wil
liam Farrior and his son, O. C.
Blanchard, Jr., Tyson Lanier and
R. H. Lanier, operated the oldest
tobacco warehouse in Wallace,
says today’s sales are quite dif
ferent from those of earlier Wal
lace days.
“Everything moves so much fas
ter nowadays,” says Mr. Blanch
ard, who is a veteran of 32 years
in the tobacco field. “It used to
take all day to sell 150,000 pounds,”
the experienced warehouseman sta
ted. “Now, you can sell that much
in an hour.”
Mr. Blanchard says this speeding
up became necessary as more
and more tobacco was produced in
the area to be sold here. He cre
dits today's faster sales to impro
ved machinery for weighing and
moving tobacco, as well as new
modern warehouses much larger
than the old ones.
You don’t have to stop during
the sale and move the tobacco off,
then put more out to be sold now,
he says. Now, warehouses hold
as much as can be sold in a sell
ing day.
Mr. Blanchard will be operating
this year in his fourth warehouse.
Up until 1926, Blanchard - Farrior
was located across the railroad in
Wallace, moving across town in
[that year to the lot where The
Enterprise is now located.
In 1946, this building burned and
when the operators rebuilt they lo
cated on Highway 117 just out of
Wallace. Bad luck struck for the
second time last October when Hur
ricane Hazel raged through town,
destroying the building. ,
This year, Blanchard - Farrior
sales will be conducted from their
new building constructed on the
site of the former one.
