Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-02-19
Reuse Up the Tobacco Trade of
Richmond.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The editorials and articles on industries
and matters affecting the welfare Of the
city recently appearing in the Dispatch
have been most fruitful Of interest and
comment on the part Of the business
men of the city. They have gone right
TO the pulse of popular thought.
Businessmen at the head OF all kinds
of industries, and those whom they en-
ploy have tired of politics and promises,
and they want TO see the wheels Of
progress put in motion.
Some months ago Mr.. James NJ Boyd,
in the Chamber OF Commerce. very
ably and earnestly advocated the idea
of cheap excursions in the interest Of
the Tobacco Trade of the city. and the
raising Of a fund for that purpose. But
for some reason, and most unfortunately
the matter was allowed TO die. 1t
is most gratifying now to see an o.
ganzation effected, with the merchants,
and working on the same line, I'm dead
earnest. The different lines OF trade in
the city never realized what has been
done by means OF these excursions
IN the last year or so I'm bringing car
loads of planters AMI carloads OF tobacco
from Eastern North Carolina. leaving
money in every branch Of trade in he
city, and forming business connections
that would otherwise never have been
made.
be gotten together and be made to Join
hands In this move and greater EFFORT
than ever before be made for Richmond
If the president of the Tobacco
Trade would mingle with the manu-
facturers and ask them what they would
Ike To have done IL might result IN
good. If he would 80 amongst the stor-
age warehousemen and know their
troubles. means might be found TO help
them: IL the commission men and dealers
were conferred and advised with, sugges-
TONS might be had that would be help
1ul. II the warehousemen were taken
IN confidence, revelations might be had
that would prove interesting indeed. and
then, If the whole trade were brought to-
gether, Richmond would arouse. "shake
herself and assert her power and adj
Vantages. and make fight for her pres
tge. Business-battles are fought these
, DAYS with leaders and organized forces
To know their value is to use them.
An organization that meets but once
year TO organize is not an up-to-date
organization. to say the least Of IL. The
writer went up the Southern road some
days ago. and few stations out from
Richmond there were hogsheads and
tierces marked to Farmvile, to Dan
Ville to South Boston. TO brakes
Branch-not one for Richmond. OF
course If all the other manufacturing
industries OF the city are busy. this may
not be matter Of much concern To
Richmond. Plucky little brakes Branch
sells annually about 100000 pounds of
tobacco. How much for Richmond? I
am glad to know the Dispatch's 500
premium offer is creating so much in
terest amongst. the farmers The work
in behalf of bright tobacco culture Is
highly commended. for that is about the
Invest thing we have left. ". X.
