Virginia, alluded to in this writing,
represent the finest ard richest To-
bacco growing lands in the world,
and the leaf from these regions are
known and priced in egry tobacco
mart in the world, and there were
about 1000, 900 lbs of it shipped
from this place during last years
season, running from October, 1917,
to October, 1873, the tobacco sea-
son'caunting from October to Oc-l
tober, as its year. That is saying
good deal of the growing impor-
tance of a place as touching this
particular trade -Winston-al little,
remote, interior village, in our
sparscly settled Western North
Carolina-a nero geographical ex-
preston upon the map-known as
little, and cared for as little, by the
great commercial world as it thun-
dered by and along in its mad, te-
verish race for wealth, as Choc-
taw Indian cares for a Gill
lofts pen. To-day the tobacco
world of the country knows where
Winston is, and what is there
They know it North of MS, and they
know it South of us, and they will
know more of MS in the future
Buyers upon our market have been
attracted here-making this their
headquarters throughout the year,
and our dealers and Warehousemen
now have large orders to I'LL from
some ct the largest manufacturing
establishments in the United States
and Canada, and these orders, to-
gether with the home demand to
supply the weed for fifteen large
factories will insure the very high
est market prices in Winston for
every ponnd of tobacco brought to
this market.
