Brodhead Independent: L. w. Terry
has purchased over 300 acres of hail cut
and trash tobacco for Tom Earle of
Edgerton and some of it has been de-
livered to the Terry warehouse in this
city. Receiving will continue at the
convenience of the buyers and the
growers for some weeks and all will be
stored here. 1t is proposed now to
leave the big purchase in the Terry
warehouse until the summer months
when the stripping operations will COM
mence. This means that there will be
work for several months for force of
at least so employees. This is good
news to many who can spend the time
profitahly at this kind of work. 1t
does not pay so we'll as sorting, but it
comes at time of the year when work
is scarce, and we doubt not that the
gentlemen will have no difficulty in
getting plenty of help for the under
taking.
