Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1936-09-15

One of the principal media of pub
licity for the Henderson tobacco and
cotton markets already adopted for
this selling season is the distribution
of $500 or more copies of the Hen
derson Daily Dispatch every week
until the Christmas holiday period
The plan is virtually the same as
that adopted last year, which was orr
ginated by the Daily Dispatch and
offered to the Henderson 25-15 Club
and accepted by it at that time. The
results of the years activities were

Larger Markets Would Mean
More Prosperity To County

Those who have given some thought
to the expansion of Henderson as a
market for farm crops and as a trad
ing center believe that the building
of larger tobacco and cotton markets
here would mean more prosperity to
the city and the county alike. Thought
full citizens know that the interests
of the city man and the rural resi-
dent are linked inseparably, in an
agricultural section especially, such
as lies around Henderson, and to that
end they are working to bring about
the goal of their ambitions.
If millions upon millions more of
tobacco were brought in and sold in
Henderson and thousands upon thous-
ands more bales of cotton handled in

this city, it would mean that many
thousands Of dollars more money
would be paid out by local banks to
these growers. But it would mean
more than that. It would force the
enlargement of warehouse facilities
and personnel, possibly also of cot
ton gins and their workers, and also
longer seasons for the tobacco drying
plants and perhaps greater organiza-
tions for the cotton buyers and stor-
age houses. All of which would bring
more and bigger payrolls to the city
for longer period of time during the
selling seasons.
These payrolls would mean, of
course, more trade for the merchants,
and heavier property investments,

more taxes paid to the city and the
county, and more prosperous and
happy people. There would be more
homes built and fewer vacant houses
And with it all there would be a
wider and closer fellowship between
the city and the rural people. That
would make for greater cooperation,
more common interests and purposes
and better understanding all
around.
It is felt that there is no reason
why Vance county tobacco and cot
ton growers should take their crops
anywhere else TO sell them than in
Henderson. Facilities for handling

Each day last season the Daily Dis
patch carried stories about the local
markets. Volume of sales and prices
paid were given and unlimited and
unreasonable publicity was given to
the market by this newspaper. On the
day that the extra circulation was adj
ded there were special stories about
the market and it's activities This is

GIANTS GET
EVEN BREAK

The Coulee City Giants broke even
In their two games during the past
week by taking Mansfield rs to 10
and losing to Quincy by one point,
1915.
The local second team won both
OF their games by besting Quincy 10
tc s and Mansfield 40 to 4. Larsen
was high point man. in the Quincy
game, and Cunningham in the Mans
field contest.
The Quincy first team seems to
have the Giants number. In the two
games played last year Quincy won
both. by scores of IA to Is and Is to
l6. This game makes three in row
that the Quincy boys have won by
enc point.
However, the Coulee boys are not
discouraged and are determined to
reverse the score when Quincy comes
here for big double-header Friday,
December 4th.
Dean Craig was high for Coulee
and Visnow for Quincy.
The game at Mansfield was just
the kind of game to keep tho
crowd excited, as both teams scored
often.
Coulee started out in the lead by
two neat shots registered by Bud Aus
tin Mansfield was never in the lead.
but the score was close at all times.
The final score of rs to 10 just about
represents the margin of superiority
of the Giants.
Bud Austin, who was sick when
Coulee played Quincy, was red-hot.
and sank seven baskets for IA points
and high honors.
The Giants have won three and lost
two contests They have scored So
points to their opponents 80.
