Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-09-08
FORWARD AGAIN.

Expansions and engagements al
WAYS are characteristics that marx
the progress and advancement OF
CITY even as they proclaim the CROWN
of nriyate business. And by these
tokens is measured the forward march
Of Henderson and Henderson merch-
ants as another fall season arrives.
and the annual bid is made for the
good will and the patronage OF men
and women of reighboring agricultur-
al areas who with others like them,
constitute the bedrock of nation.
One evidence of the return OF the
autumn harves time is the appear
ance today of the annual tobacco ana
cotton marketing edition of the Daily
DISPATCH. From a community stand
point, it's one and only purpose is to
promote the interests of the growers,
who produce the crops that create ma
tive wealth, and of the people who con-
duct the varying types of establish
ments that see these crops on their
way to consumers and who supply
the necessities and luXurieS of the ag-
ricultural folk.
What benefits the one benefits the
other, in the long run, and when the
proper conception of things is acqulr-
ed on both sides, it is a matter of
friendly cooperation between the
two We who live in the city know
too well the experience of suffering
and privation that is our lot when it
is also the part of our country neigh
bors. After what has gone before in
the recent past, we should have learn
ed by now to share our mutual woes.
Likewise, we shall be better fitted to
rejoice together when prosperity
smiles, if we have cultivated to a de-
sired fruition the friendliness and fell
lowship that is our rightful state.
This philosophizing is not far re-
moved from the plain realities. When
we touch earth again, after reveling
in realms of idealism, we begin. again
the scramble for a livelihood, each
striving for as large a portion as he
can possibly achieve of the common
medium of trade and purchase, and
each seeking the high dollar and the
highest price fairness and honesty
will permit.
Frankly, to the farmers who have
tobacco and cotton to sell, Henderson
brings the appeal for these commOdi-
ties to be bre ,ght to local centers for
sale. The n and women who con-
duct these Adjustments quite hon
estly and sincerely promise and pledge
their utmost 10 please and satisfy the
farmers. The thousands who have
generously responded to this admoni-
ton in times past can testify of the
courtesies and the considerations
shown them here; IF the friendly
greeting and the accommodations thew
have found. They know the Hender-
son markets have much to offer them.
They know, too, that Henderson mer-
chants are progressive, carry fresh
stocks and large stocks, and that
prices are as reasonable as they can
be made, consistent with good merch-
andising practices.
Henderson this year offers nine to-
bacco warehouses for the sale of the
farmers leaf. All of them are we'll
lighted, conveniently located and
manned by experienced tobacco men
who wish to serve, but who know thew
can have the opportunity to serve onlv
as they please the grower. That goes
for the cotton merchants. Gin FACT
lities are the equal of any market the
size of Henderson, and there are 9TH
ers who will buy and who stand readv
to pay the highest price they can af-
ford to pay. They, too, are entirely
familiar with their own business. and
offer the grower their best.
The Dispatch could not present to-
days paper without expressing IFS
deep gratitude for the cooperation it
has received in preparing this mar
