Selmer Neprud of the Northern Wis
consin Tobacco Pool represented the
organization at the big national Coop
erative associations convention held in
Washington, attended by fruit grow
ers, cotton growers, tobacco growers
and milk producers. President Hard
| ing sent letter to the convention in
which he gave his blessings upon CO.
operative marketing as step in the
evolution of bringing the producer and
consumer together
| Mr.. w. B. Wentworth, who for the
most couoral x,oorc hos hoap oooooo+ol
with the American Sumatra Tobacco
Company, will sever his connections
with that company anuary 1, 1923, and
retire from the tobacco business after
being active in it for more than twenty
five years. By recommendation of Mr..
Wentworth, Mr.. J. A. Dickerson has
been appointed as successor. Mr.. Dick
erson has already been with the COM
pany in the Edgerton Office under Mr..
Wentworth for some years. Mr.. Went
worth began his career in the tobacco
business as manager of the Milwaukee
branch of stemming and booking under
Mr.. C. Culton. After five years of
successful work here he entered the
service of the General Cigar Company
for number of years. Next he came
into the service of the Haas Brothers
and worked with them for twelve years.
Mr.. Wentworth has number of per-
sonal affairs that need his attention,
and he has not made any definite move
to take up anything else for the present.
VIM. Bussey of the Tobacco Ex-
change bank and member of the COM
mittee of bankers who is arranging to
| finance the Pool, stated that the mat
ter was sufficiently advanced to give
out the information that the needs of
the Pool will be taken care of by the
bankers of the state. The Pool will is
sue four month bonds upon it's holdings
of tobacco, and the money raised in
this way will be apportioned among the
local banks according to the amount
needed in each section to take care of
the growers interests. Every grower
will receive whatever his share of the
temporary loan may call for upon the
basis of the loan value of his types Of
tobacco. This all under the supposition
that the Pool shall need this money If
case weather comes and the tobacco
can be stripped and graded so as tosbe
presented for sale, the chances are that
it will be taken quickly and paid for on
delivery. In fact the Pool has demands
in now that will clean up the large por-
ton of it's cigar leaf at prices that
come up to its expectations.
