BIGGEST YEAR IN
DANv|lLE TOBACCO
MARKET SINCE 1900
More Than 45,000,000 Pounds
Sold and Total Will Go
Higher In Month Left of
Season.

DANvTLLE, VA. May s.--Danville
has passed the forty-f1ve million
pounds total in the sales OF loose leaf
tobacco during the years 1913-1914.
and there -is still a month left in
which to carry the aggregate OF
pounds sold to forty-six million, or
nearly that quantity. In eight and
one half months this market has sold
45,3T5,316 pounds Of tobacco for a
total of s7.773.155.ei. or at an av-
erage proice of nearly three dollars
more per hundred pounds than dur
ing the same period last year. With
four weeks more in which to cell It
IS likely that the total VIII reach for
ty-five and three-quarter millions or
possibly fortystx million pounds
This Is Tho largest quantity sold here
since 1900. a gratifying indication
that the market is growing In impor-
tance. rather than diminishing.
The Increased prices for the LEAF
have made tobacco growing really
profitable, and the distribution Of
seven and three-Quar ter millions of
dollars among the farmers Of a few
counties surrounding Danvile has
brought a prosperity 10 those sections
they have not known for years. There
Is good and sufficient reason for the
increased prices OF leaf tobacco IN
the development of new and popu-
lous fields of consumption Of the
manufactured product. market for
our manufactured tobacco products
has been opened and is developing IN
Asia and this demand In steadily in
creasing. with prospects for still
larger demand This condition has
stimulated the demand and enhanced
the prices of all tohaccos and has
contributed to the prosperity OF the
leaf markets. but 1t has contributed
most TO Danv!ile's supremacy as a
market because OF the fact that the
competition for the raw product is
greater on our market than on any
other. The dissolution of the tobacco
trust, as the powerful combination
formerly existing was known. has
brought about greater competition
among the firms and corporations
Each Of these corporations has it's

NEW FORD MACHINE
EVERY FEW SECONDS
APRIL WAS ANOTHER RECORD
BREAKER IN DETROIT
FACTORY.

DETROIT. May Stake out your
watch, Follow the second nand
around the minute cycle. Every time
twenty-fnur seconds are licked Off a
new Ford car comes into being.
The month of April was anoth ar
record breaker at the Ford factory
in Detroit, Thirty thousand. four
hundred and two complete care were
halt and shipped during the month
which had twenty-six working days.
A l,tue mental arithmetic shows
that this means a daily production of
about eleven hundred and seventy
cars I, shows that approximately
enc hundred and forty-six Fords were
built each hour. 1t shows that al
most twenty-four seconds elapsed be-
tween the time one complete car left
the factory doors until another fol-
lowed IL.
or course these figures are based
on an eight hour working day. The
assembling department at the Ford
factory works but one shift of eight
hours other departments of the fac
tory work three shifts OF eight hours
each in order TO keep the assembling
department going at top speed.
The first seven months of the COM
pany's fiscal year have seen the pro-
auction of more than one hundred
and forty-five thousand complete
model rs. Every succeeding month
since the first of the calendar year
has seen the Ford factory hand up q
new production record, In January
twenty three thousand. nine hundred
and thifty-six Fords were built and
shipped This was the first record
smashing month of the year. Fehrn-
airy passed January with production
of twenty-four thousand, six hundred
cars. Then came March with its out
put OF more than eleven hundred cars
a day Twenty-eight thousand, sew
en- hundred and fourteen cars were
built and shipped in March. And
then the April production topped
March by two thousand.
1t will be seen from the above fig-
,ires that the. demand this year for
Fords is greater than ever. 1t should
he borne in mind that every Ford
is shipped rs soon as It Ia finished.
II should also be horne in mind that
despite this big production the fac
tory Is many thousands Of care be-
hind the sales force, Indications are
that the demand will be far in ex-
cess of the supply this year. as In
years past. s
