HOUSE ASSOCIATION.
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 2, 1873.
To our Planters, Friends and the To-
6dcco Trade Generally:
Having been again called to the
management of the Grange Ware
Ouse by the Board of Directors OF
twelve farmers, elected by over 800
stockholders, all planters and farm
ers, most respectfully solicit the
influence of the trade generally and
especially farmers and stockholders.
This is the only successful enter
prise ever organized in the State
strictly in the interest of the farm
ers, and as it has been placed in
successful operation without one
cent of expense to any one, and
operated by the farmers for farmers
strictly, / hope it is not in vain, 1
ask not only your patronage, but
what is of more value still, your in
fuence. Our opponents are in the
field from every market, Boosting
their intentions to destroy this the
last organized body of farmers
which stands in the way of rings
and monopolies, and with their
agents numbered by the score on
almost every hill top and every
valley throughout the Tobacco dis
trict boasting like Goliah that they
have come to destroy us as their
greatest enemy, but like Goliah
they will fall by very little smooth
stone of truth and Justice. Our Or
ganization has been in operation
three years, and has saved for the
farmers of this country over Thirty
Thousand Dollars, out of which we
have bought and built you the
most commOdious warehouse in
the State, all of which are
paid for, with clear titles. Remem-
Der this same GOliah of opposition
has from the beginning raised it's
mighty hand and brandished its
glittering coat of mail, and you
may be sure that it required all the
courage that we could command to
meet him, but with your aid and
cheers we did go forth with a little
sling with a smooth stone of a just
cause and prevailed. The fight is
being renewed with increased
energy by the enemies of every
effort to aid and better the condition
of the tOiling farmers, and the re-
suit in the future will depend on
the support and encouragement that
we receive at your hands in the
way of patronage and influence.
By your aid the past is secure, and
with it the future is bright and
cheerful. Remember every dollar
of the profits goes back into your
pockets, while if you pull us down
by indifference or direct aid, you
never see one cent of the profits
from your business, which goes into
the pockets of others.
We sold for the season ending
LIST, 1927 hogsheads
Tobacco, amounting to $985,645 03,
an average of 500 81 per
which, estimating 800
lbs. to each hogshead, makes Il, a
average S. 45 per 100 lbs. for our
entire sales, which embraced a very
large per cent. Of very low types Of
Tobacco from remote regions, not
sold on this market.
Pledging my most faithful efforts
to promote the interest of every
patron of the house, and again ask
ing your support and encourage
ment, and returning thanks for
your past kindness,
l am, very respectfully,
T. HERNDoN, Sup't.
P. S.-Liberal advances made on
Tobacco. Our customers at a dis
lance wishing supplies of any kind,
sending us orders, will receive our
personal attention. T. H., Sup't.
