THE VIEWS OF BAILEY BROS
l. We think Winston has bright
future as a leaf market, as well as
manuf4ct uriDg.
2 The trade in Winston manufac-
| tured tobacco is growing. STAMP
sales will show to what eXfent.
3 We think the manufacturers OF
| pounds Of leaf this year, besides what
| will be wanted by leaf dealers.
4. Yes-We prefer to buy our leaf
on this market, because we can look
closer after the selections than we
could II we hOught on other markets
| .. 4es-We VIII pay more for leaf
! on this market than any other, he
cause we like the tobacco better and
! we save packing and hauling, which
c. st something and sometimes Injuries
| the tobacco
| 6. Yes-We certainly think the
! farmers should raise tobacco as their
| money crop
| I. We think tobacco is selling well
| compared to other farm products and
! also compared with merchandise gen
| orally We think the tobacco raiser
/ can buy more goods of any kind now
/ than he could have done at any time
| in the past 10 years at the present
| price of leaf.
s. Naturally we think farmers
| should patrOniZe this market, because
more leaf is wanted by the manufac-
turers than has ever been sold here,
| which makes a competition between
the manufacturers very strong. This,
we think. is quite an inducement for
the farmers to sell their tobacco on
the Winston market.
oGBURN, HILL & co
/, As Winston is the leading mar
ket of the South for manufactured
tobacco, we see no reason why it
should not eventually be- the leading
market for the sale of leaf tobacco
=. The trade in manufactured to-
hacco is growing every year Our
manufacturers are gradually extend
ing their territory Wherever Win
stou tobacc IS are placed they give
satisfaction
3 We think at least twenty to
twenty five million pounds OF leaf
will be needed annually by our manu-
facturers.
We never buy any leaf away
from Winston. if il can possibly be
had here We think the tobacco
grown in Forsyth and adjoining couu-
ties is the best in the world for manu-
featuring purposes. We will pay
more for tobacco on this market than
we will on any other market, We can
afford to pay more here where our
factory is located We save commits
siOns, rents. freight, etc. besides we
can select our stock to better advan-
taQe
5th. We think farmers through this
sc ctiOn should raise tobacco for their
money crop, but by no means should
they neglect to raise their own sup
plies.
9Th Tobacco is selling as we'll as
any other product grown by the farm
ers, unles it is wheat. We belive at
present prices tobacco is a much bet
ter crop than Gotten.
7th Farmers should patronize this
market. First. We believe they will
get more for their tOboCcO than they
could on any other market. End The
manufacturers must have the leaf and
it stands to reason they will pay more
for 1t on this market, than they VIII
on Others, where they would be at con-
siderable expense in getting it to their
factory.
R j. R TOBACCO CO
1 Bright.
2. Two and half million pounds
annually
8. Twenty million pounds annually.

5. We will.
6. Yes.
7. Higher.
8. Yes, as if is headquarters for
best grades of North Carolina tobac-
CO, and manufacturers all over the
country look for this grade here.
THE DALToN-FARRow CO.
The views of this firm were ex-
pressed by President r. | Dalton and
are as follows:
1 don't think there is another town
in the State Of North Carolina that
has so bright future as leaf to-
bacco market.
Our manufacturers want aud must
have 20, 1000. 900 pounds OF leaf tobacco
annually to enable them to supply the
demand for their manufactured to
bacco
We also have quite a number or
Leaf Dealers OH this market buying
all grades OF tobacco for distant mar
kets amounting TO several million
pounds.
/ much prefer buying all the tobacco
we work on this market, and will pay
ore for 1t than | would pay on any
other market for the same grades, as
we can make our own selections re.iry
and put in proper order for working,
and save the extra expense of putting
a buyer on other markets, paying
freight and other expenses.
L think every farmer will fiud it to
he can alway get the cash for it. /
will admit the average price has been
| low for several years, but not lower
than prices of cotton, wheat, corn, oats,
pork. horses, cattle, etc.
/ believe there is more profit in
raising tobacco for the market than
there is in anything farmer can
| raise, at present prices.
| / believe every farmer Ia this sec
/ tion of North Carolina should sell his
| leaf tobacco on the Winston market
| The manufacturers and leaf dealers
are here to buy IL and will pay more
for 1t here than they can afford TO pay
on other markets. When you sell at
smaller markets you sell at smaller
| prices, the buyers are not there; If
they are, they are there to buy under
Winston prices. 1t is our interest to
buy on this market and il is to the in
| terest of the farmer to sell where his
tobacco is wanted.
