Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-09-15
ANOTHER FORWARD
STEP.

Publication today of the Daily Dis
patche annual market edition in adj
vance of the opening of the tobacco
and cotton seasons marks the arrival
of another autumn that will see new
forward strides made in the develop
ment Of Henderson as a selling cen
ter for crops and a trading head
quarters for the men and women
who grow them.
In Its perennial unertaking of put
ting out a paper that will tell the
story Of its own community in a con-
vincing way, the Dispatch has had
the cooperation of scores of leaders
in the business life Of the city Of
course, without that such an achieve
ment would be impossible. 1t speaks
well in many respects for any town
the size of Henderson, and even much
larger, that it's people are sufficient
ly enthused to join so wholehearted-
ly in the movement. They know that
space in their newspaper is valuable
in bringing results, else they would
not spend their money that way.
Moreover, their newspaper would not
ask for their support if it did not
know it could be of service to those
whose assistance it seeks. After ALL
it is mutual effort for the city that
belongs to all of us alike, and which
now and in the days to come will be
just what we make it and nothing
more.
There is no reason why Henderson
~should not be a thriving, hustling
business, social and cultural COM
tmunity. There are many reasons
why it should. 1t has advantages
sthat many cities less favorably sit
!. uated would like the best in the
world to possess They covet such
natural facilities and would do them
just what we can do, and what we
must and shall do.
Henderson this year is in better
position than ever before to serve
the agricultural back country from
which it derives very much of it's
support. For the tobacco growers
there are seven warehouses for the
,,sale OF his leaf-more than the citv
mas ever had hitherto. The two cot
ton gins Located within the city have
slafely equipped themselves to handle
larger quantities of seed cotton and
10 do it more promptly. Tobacco
.buying companies represented on the
local market are enlarged and mod
ysrnlzed their plants and can clear
their purchases with less congestion
!, and greater speed and thus be in
position to buy and process larger
quantities as needed.
7 Henderson merchants have had the
time In the past few years to recover
IRON the narrowing experience of
sthe depression. With a rapidly ris-
ing purchasing power on the part
Eof the people, they are anticipating
and properly SO, a greater demand
sfor merchandise and have provided
for larger stocks and greater varie-
tt;es Of goods from which selections
may be made. That means more bus
siness volume, and also the inevitable
sequence, more profit. And the nat
sural result of that is a bigger and
Ibetter community.
With all these possibilities within
leasy reach, it is but right and prop
:er that Henderson should EXPECT
much from the coming autumn sea-
aon. The city will make new ac-
quaintances, and more faces will be
.e0en in it's stores and on it's tobacco
and cotton markets. There will be
greater fellowship and better under
standings and larger cooperation
from all sources for the general well
fare and upbuilding of all the peo-
pie. And that is the end and aim Of
these, things that we are doing;
