Successful results in this campaign
OF the United States Public Health

acknowledges this cooperation and

nostrums, which frequently include

Leads IN others IN Pounds
Sold and Price Obtained
on Opening Market

As usual, the Home had the most
tobacco under their roof when the bell
tapped for the opening Of the 1919
loose leaf tobacco sales, Wednesday,
and when the buyers reached that
house, yesterday, 1t was found that the
Home was going to establish another
record by selling the highest priced
crop Of tobacco ever sold on the Mays
vile market.
The sale started In this house with
the crop Of D. 3. Belt, Of Fleming
county, and 1t brought a higher aver
age than was ever before obtained for
crop on this market. Several bas-
kets brought rs cents per pound, and
the crop averaged 5000. This is sure
"going some" for Burley tobacco. Had
any one predicted such a price as this
some years ago, he would have been
counted crazy. We hope to see higher
ones, but believe this record Will stand
for while. The Home is the house
that makes records, and they should
be very proud of this one.
Their ever alert, energetic and po-
| lite sales manager, Mr.. Albert T. Day
was smiling all over himself yester-
day, and says he means to keep 1t up
throughout the season; because, ne
knows the Home will continue to lead
in pounds sold and prices obtained
He is ably assisted, this year by that
prince of good fellows and best OF all

ket for your tobacco, you will know
that you do not deserve 1t. They are
