Ordinarily the tobacco business Is
beset with many hazards when under
taken by small companies. but the
simplicity Of this new company's
plan makes safe PROPOSE
ton for the reason that their stock
viii consist at all times OF tobacco
in the natural leaf which has an ac-
tual cash value. The plans Of the
company are best explained by let
ter Of announcement which has reach
I'd our desk. and is In part as fol-
lows:
''TOBACTONATURE. and with this
word. We b,g to take this opportuni-
~ 10 announce TO you the organiza.
ton Of THE KENTUCKY FARMERS
TOBACCO COMPANY.
Its chief business will b. the dis
tribution to the customer OF hands"
of tobacco in the natural or unadul-
terated condition.
1.-THE underlying principle Of its
plan is founded on the fact that there
Is a certain grade or strength and
flavor OF tobacco In It's natural. una
dulterated state. which win exaotly
suit every user-in other words. the
adulteration Of the article. as h. prac-
tiosd by almost every manufacturer
AT the present time. is not only a
positive detriment Co the good taste
and flavor which nature has given
tobacco. but this adulterltion is the
prime cause OF the present bad effects
experienced by almost every user M
che present time.
This Is a back 10 nature crusade"

IS and hearty approval. This Is the
establishment Of a local enterprise,
and, We flatter ourselves than on that
account your individual record or rep
utation for local patriotism, would

you in advance. etc"
G. =. Shumate. cashier OF the PEG
pies Bank. Is the originator OF this
new concern and the IDEAS upon
which 1t is founded. eminated from
his thought factory. Whether he
stumbled on the fact that there rs a
demand for natural leaf tobacco or
just simply dug 1t out by mental la
Dor. cuts no ice; the fact remains
that tobacco in It's natural state Is
always in demand, but no one has
ever though OF plan Ia handle Il
in that way before.
In short. Il viii DO put up in hand
some cartons. which will preserve It's
natural flavor and carry " TO the
consumer In popular priced packages.
The tobacco viii also be put up in
the different grade.
As a matter of local importance.
the new company viii be benefit to
Hickman. They must have warehous-
-, employ labor In grading and pack
ing. and lastly. will. we presume. use
more or less OF that grade Of tobacco
which is raised In Fulton county.
Taken as a whole, the outlook for
the new concern is certainly rosy.
The simplicity of the plan. the safety
OF investment and the eternal demand
for such a product is an index Of sue
cess.
The company expects To be In ac-
tive operation about the first Of the
coming year.
