ed for they feel confident that a man
! once a patron of their house is always
a patron regardless of drummers-
especially of the brassy takers -
They want it understood that they
confidently rely on the good judgmen,
of farmers not to be caught by any
trick and that farmers know their
business we'll enough TO know where
they wan. TO sell and that they will
sell at the house that seems to them
to be for their best interest. And if
any house any where can get them
more money for their tobacco than
Harris Warehouse it is their duty to
themselves and 10 their families to
patronize that market and house. .,
We note especially that they have
sold large quantity of tobacco from
Halifax county which seems to be in
good demand on our market. Our
buyers look very carefully for tobacces
Of good flavor and for the kind that;
will preserve its color, and this is one
reason that the, Henderson market is
the best in all the. sisterhood for having
the bes, tobacco they can sell at the
best prices and with the ability to sell
comes the ability TO buy. =,
Vance, Franklin, Nash and Halifax
are famous for the flavor and color Of
their tobaccos and old Granville, the:
birthplace Of the yellow leaf, and
Mecklenburg and Lunenburg counties,
in Virginia, Warren and Wake, Hyde.
Hartford and Johnson, Pitt and Others
bring their best, which is the best in
the world, to this market and hence we
are beyond competition. Our ware
houses are always open for these to-,
baccos and our buyers always glad to
get them, and farmers from any
county can confidently rely on getting
the full market prices for their tobacco
when entrusted to our warehouse
men of whom we know of none better
than Harris, Gooch & Co.
We know OF but one thing in bus
mess point of view in which they are
lacking and that is they might use
more printers ink to advantage; but
they say they believe in doing their
drumming on the floor because they
think it pays better. We grant them
that they are somewhat right. and yet
free use of newspaper advertising
would bring them trade that they do
not now get and we would recommend
them to try it little more and see,
what the result would be. And as
they have not yet covered over half of
their lot with their warehouse, another
addition may soon be in order again.,
We would say TO them ftheir house
is not the very best they ought to make:
it SO. If it is the very best and the
home trade seems to think 50 then
they ought to- help the farmers dis-j
tant from the market by frequent ad :.
vertisements and also help the paper
that helps every good enterprise. =,
We have noticed that any progress
sive man or firm always takes an inter.
est in the welfare of the town or county
in which they live, and this firm is no
exception to the rule. They are ready
with their time, their influence and
their money for anything that will
help the general interests of the town,
county or State.
As the GOLD LEAF has had occa-
sion to remark before the gentlemen
composing this firm are among
the most respected and reliable
business men of the community. They
are Messrs. George B. Harris, L. R.
Gooch and Samuel R. Harris-men
of whom any town has cause to feel
proud to count among its citizenship.
Seldom are three more substantial bus
mess men associated together in bust
ness; and rarely has any firm been
more highly successful. As wide
awake, progressive and popular ware
housemen, whose every effort is di-
rected toward protecting and adyan-
cling the welfare Of their patrons, the
firm occupies commanding and con-
| spicuous position.
In conclusion it may be added that
the proprietors are men of the highest
character, in whose sound judgment
and integrity of purpose those who
know them have every confidence.
Their record is an open one, clean
and honorable, and their immense
trade is but the proper reward ofworih
and merit. -
Tobacco sales begin again on Mon:
day, Jan. 4th, 1897, at $3.50 O'Clock,
when the last thing waited for will
have come and we look tor good
breaks and good prices. :
