fl0OfS OF hdielSni warehouses;
If there be still those who are incred-
ulous as to the determination of the citi-
zens of Raleigh to build up tobacco
market here let them real the fol-
lowing premium list for tobacco sales
This is voluntary offering made by the
bankers, merchants and other citizens OF
Raleigh, amounting to over seven hun
dred dollars, given freely and without
restraint for two reasons. The first rea-
son is that they desire to express to the
tobacco world their determination to dc
all in their power to make Raleigh a
tobacco market. The second is to show
to those farmers who formerly made
Raleigh their market place that it is their
earnest desire to so amend conditions
as 10 not only justify them but induce
them to renew their commercial relations
with the capital city.
1t will be observed that this premium
list includes about all the business men
of Raleigh who believe in progress. 1t
is a fact, too, that Raleigh has always
been kind and neighborly to it's sister
tobacco towns, and rejoiced in their
growth and development, but the time
has come and now is, when il
needs to be tobacco market itself. It's
farmer friends, many of them, have quit
growing cotton to large extent and are
growing the best grades of tobacco that
are grown OF American soil. 1t is Raj
eigh's duty to furnish those former pat
rons and friends, every facility, every
nd ind RI
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
warehousemen 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
housemen and others are alive to the
situation and are thoroughly prepared to
take care Of the planters interest. and
everything is in shape for 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.
