NEW ORGANIZATION ALREADY
RUNNING IN HATTIEsBURe.
BUYING POTATOES.
FIRST CAR WAS SHIPPED TODAY
Company Has An Experienced Man
Ia Charge And Will Furnish a Mar
ket For Everything Raised On The
Farm"

The latest trade development In this
city, and what is believed will prove
to be one of inestimable value and
importance to this section, is the es-
tablishment of a farm produce COM
pany which has been organized and
fairly launched by ]. A. Quick, w. N.
Richardson, o. A. Travis and Arnot
Smith, without any fare of trumpets
or any loud proclamation of what was
expected to be done.
The first three pentlemen named, all
being practical and successful farmers,
having heard so often the question
asked whats the use trying to raise
truck or country produce when there
is no market for it?" determined that
they would organize do something
club" and having been able to
associate with them Mr.. Arnott
Smith, a produce inspector, pack
er and salesman of experience,
they associated themselves to-
gether under the style of "The Quick
Produce Company" Before making
any public mention of their intentions
they had warehouse 50x100 feet built
on lot leased from the Gulf C Ship
Island Railroad company on Second
street in this city, and when they
opened for business Tuesday they had
twenty farm wagons waiting at their
warehouse to sell Irish potatoes.
Mr.. Smith had already provided a
potato sorter, and after buying all the
potatoes offered, began to run them
through this sorter for the purpose OF
securing stock for a car load of No
1 potatoes. These potatoes are being
loaded out today and though Virginia
potatoes have caused the markets tc
drop considerably, Mr.. Smith feels as
sured good prices will be obtained fol
their first car load of potatoes, be
cause of their careful selection ant
neat packing of the stock. 1t is 6
fact that cannot be truthfully denied
that for lack of organization there has
been no safe market for produce II
this immediate section, hence this new
organization should be welcomed b!
everyone interested in the farm land'
around Hattiesburg.
It is learned that the Quick Produce
Company will either buy all produc'
offered or will handle it on commits
sion. The point to be borne in min'
is that Hattiesburg now has marke
provided for everything grown on tn
farm.
