.ASuggestion
Tobacco Growers

Nothing, in our opinion, Is so liable
to seriously effect the present satlsfac-
tory prices of Tobacco as the over
crowding Of the market.
Our advice to you is, bring each
wagon load to market Just as soon as
you get 1t ready. Don't delay until
you get your whole crop, or the most
OF 1t stripped. To do so will be mis-.
take.
A steady market is always better
,than a glutted one. Don't get too
much here at once. AS our house Is
the largest we are helped most by
rush; but, we know that what is not
good for you is not, in the long run,
good for us.
