Henderson,. N. C., .he Leading Bright
Leaf Market In North Carolina.
The following kind reference to our
market and some of the prominent
dealers, is from the Cincinnati Tobacco
Journal, written by the editor Col.
Thomas Mason, after a personal visit
some time before Christmas. He says !:
For what is termed ''white" tobacco
this section wears the laurels. The
sales far exceed those of last year-the
same periods compared. and the market
shows no signs of weakening. Having
viewed the stock of few of the largest
and most prominent buyers of cutters
and cigarettes, we think the crop has
never been eXcelled i'll color. 1t is
claimed by the trade that the tobacco
sold here excels anything grown else
where for cigarettes on account of its
sweetness and color. In the wrapper
line we were agreeably disappointed to
find hanging in some of the houses
stocks that exceeded our anticipatiOns
in character. both as to spread and
body.
HENDERSON Is MOVING ONWARD.
