Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-10-14

Henderson, with it's average of $2797,
led all the rest.
Naturally, this report of Mr.. Rhodes
contains no "ballyhoo' like that gen
orally used by publicity managers in
the featuring. of practically all mar
kets. In other words, this report
speaks for ITSELF and is more eloquent
than any words that could be written
by us.
Some of the boys, in sending their
sworn statements to Mr.. Rhodes, fail
ed to put in the ballyhoo that they had
previously given to the press and
radio.
Some of the reasons that have caus-
ed Henderson to lead all the markets,
everywhere is the fact, that its ware
housemen are all outstanding artists
in their own line of selling. It's buy
ing force is composed of all season
ed" buyers and is not training
school for young buyers. 1t never has
upon its sales any student buyers,
and, lastly, because in this section of
The Middle Belt in which reside no.
900 people within a radius of (30)
thirty miles of Henderson, there is
.yp2 of tobacco produced every year,
REGARDLESS of the seasons, superior in
it's burning quality and sweetness
This is as peculiar to this section as
is the fact that in portion of France
near Bordeaux there is produced
a grape superior in its vintage Tor
winemakers, and which has never
been equaled as drink by even Cali
fornia with it's great golden fields.
This fact as to the sweetness of the
tobacco of this section, we believe is
known and recognized, not only by
the buving companies of the United
States. but by all foreign companies,
and it is for this reason that the to-
| bacco of this section is so eagerly
sought by connoisseurs.
| Attracted by the high prices pre-
vailing on the Henderson market, Tar
mers from every section of the coun-
| trv in Virginia, in Eastern North
| Carolina, and in South Carolina, arc
| turning to this market.
1 In a talk with one of them yester-
| dav. he made this remark: "When
we send our tobacco to Henderson Tor
sale we feel that it is placed upon tn
floors with the much sought tobacco
of YOUR section and. that ours mixed
with yours get us better results" The
gentleman was quite right.
The large volume of foreign tobac-
co coming to this market has not IN
the least injured the sale OF any local.
tobacco, for on this market we nave
a type of buyers that. knows every
kind of tobacco. AS further illus
tration of what good tobacco is pro
duced in this section, on yesterdays
sale we saw bright tips selling from
| $35 per hundred to $50 per hundred.
| VIE seriously doubt if there have
been any such prices existing any
where else this season for tips, regard
less of their high character. They
seemed to be on the wrapper order
although they came from the top o
the plant.
| The top grades of tobacco appear:
to be steadily advancing in value day
by day, and some of these fancies
grades are now selling for 500, $97
| 1913, and $685..
| Report of sales as issued this morn
ing by the statistician of the market
reads: Seasons sales to date, 8,002,-
1894 pounds for $2245,0O5.88. Average
for the whole $28O5 Last years sales
through October 16, were 1906, zoe
pounds. Average $26.01.
No one is happier than the writer
over the fact that the farmers who
have sold this year upon the Hender-
ION market have received $2O4 per
hundred pounds more than you did
