OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR.
It Is sufficient TO say now that the OPP

has officially and otherwise endorsed the
enterprise, and to-day 1t is In better shape
and more interest Is felt In II and Dy
more people than at any time since It's
The bright loose tobacco warehousemen
say:
For our part. as warehousemen, we
are satisfied. our business is steadily
increasing, has far exceeded our expec-
tations, and the outlook is as bright and
as promising as we could ask.
''lt gives us pleasure 10 say that there
Is not a more faithful corps OF buyers
now on any market than those who fol-
low regularly our sales on the Richmond,
CVa.) bright loose breaks. They are all
prompt responsible, business men, back
ed by capital, and zealously interested In
this market. We hope SOON 10 see every
tobacco manufacturer and handler of
bright tobaccos In this city with n regu-
lar representative on the loose breaks.
The finest quality of bright tobacco Is
being raised right around US, and Rich
mond can and ought TO double her sales
each succeeding year for several years
to come.
Many OF the Intelligent planters from
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Nir-
ginia tell us they want a big market in
Richmond. Va. That Is TO their inter-
est. and they would like TO see 1t grow
and prosper. We have their good wishes
In many ways expressed.
With this we send happy greetings TO
all our friends and patrons for the new
year-lSJ1. CAZNEAU MLEOD.
