FITZGERALD
TOBACCO MARKET
LOOMS LARGE
Opening Day Set for August 9th; Full
Corps Of Buyers To Be On Hand

The operators of the Fitzgerald To-
bacco Warehouse Company, Messrs
Knott and Skies are elated over the
prospects of their local market which
opens here August 9th, with a full
corps OF representatives of the Imper-
lal Tobacco Co., The Export Co., The
American Tobacco Co., Liggett and
Myers, Cobb-Quinn Co, and others,
all among the largest domestic and
export consumers of bright leaf tobac-
CO.
The large number of firms represent
ed, who have assured the lessees of
furnishing some of their experts in the
business, gives assurance to the local
market. Producers of tobacco in
Wilcox, Coffee, Turner, Irwin and
Berrien counties have already made
arrangements to sell their tobacco on
the local market, through their per-
sonal knowledge of the character and
ability of Messrs Knott and Skies,
both of whom will be in personal
charge of the floor, looking after the
interests of the tobacco growers.
The long and honorable record of
L. B. Knott in the Carolnas and his
additional well known experience as
a successful grower of tobacco, is en-
listing the good will of the tobacco
farmers hereabouts, many of whom
had several years of personal contact
with him in their former homes in
the Tarheel State.

Demonstrators
Prove Their Worth

Tobacco growers in this section are
we'll pleased with the finished product
being turned out by the several dem
onstrators operating here. The tobac-
co is being cured to beautiful color
and it's natural plyable condition, due
to proper cultivation and the proper
fertilizer used under these demonstra-
ton agents.
Experts who have watched the to-
bacco in this section and have visited
the nearby counties having large to-
bacco acreage this year, report that
the local product is by far the best
appearing this season. 1t is expected
that the prices on the local market
will average much higher than else
where, due to the quality to be mar
keted here.
