ulous as to the determination OF the citi-
zen" Oh Raleigh to build up a tobacco

lowing premium list for tobacco sales
i his is a voluntary Offering made nv tho
bankers, merchants and other citizens Of
isalelSh, amounting to over seven hun
dred dollars, given freely and without
restraint for two reasons. The first req
son is that they desire to express TO the
tobacco world their determination to do
all IN their power to make Raleigh q
TOBACCO market. The second is to show
TO those farmers who ormerly made
halelgh their market place that it is their
earnest desire to so amend conditions
as to not only justify them but induce
them to renew their commercial relations
with the capital city.
1t will be observed that this nremium
list includes about all the business men
of Raleigh who believe in progress. 1t
is a fac, too, that Raleigh has always
been kind and neighborly to it's sister
tobacco owns, and rejoiced in their
growth and development, but the time
has come, and now is, when it
needs to be q tobacco market itself. It's
farmer friends, many of them, have quit
growing cotton to a large extent and are
growing the best grades of tobacco that
arc grown or American soil. 1t is Raj
cigh's inty to furnish those former pat
rons and, friends, every facility, every
convenience and every inducement to
bring their new and valuable product
here, and there need be no worry along
this line for Raleigh has made up it's
mind to do it and to do it big.
The contributors to this premium fund
are what may be termed outsiders, in
other words they are not directly enga-
ged in the tobacco business. The tobacco
warehouscmen and buyers have not been
asked to contribute. so the farmer need
not feel under the slightest obligation
to take his tobacco to this or the other
warehouse. The tobacco people, ware
housemcn and others are alive to the
situation and are thoroughly prepared to
take care Of the planters interest. and
everything is in shape for a big business.
The contest for prizes will be conducted
Under the auspices of the Raleigh Leaf
Tobacco Company. A committee is now
arranging the prizes in a classified list,
which will be published in a few days.
The opening sale will be held on Fri
day, August list.
