bacco growers in Madison and adjoining
counties. By this plan the man who
grows tobacco will get his share of the
profits of the house in proportion to
the amount of tobacco he sells on the
floor.
In order to begin business either by
purchase or lease or by the erection of a
new house, some stock will have to be
issued and sold. This will be guaran-
teed six percent interest. After interest
on stock and operating expenses are
paid the profits will be related to grow
ers of tobacco. The organization will
be controlled by majority vote of
stock holders in order to absolutely
Illustrate control by one man or bunch
OF stock. Only bona ida tobacco grow
ers will be able to purchase one or more
shares and the control will be in the
hands of such growers at all times by
the majority rule system.
Every tobacco grower in Madison
county and her neighbors can and will
be benefited by joining this movement
without financial risk and without bind
ing himself. All such are invited to at
