Market Easy
To Reach By
All Routes

Wherever farmers may live, they
will find the Henderson market of
easy access to them, with all of
the leading highways into the city
improved, either with hard surface
or tar and gravel paving. This
makes it possible to haul large
loads of tobacco on trucks or Wag-
ems without the necessity Of
negotiating steep grades or muddy
reads.
Good roads have been a big fac
tor in the development of the the
Henderson market and of Hender-
son as trading center. Sales have
shown increases since the modern
system of highways reached this
vicinity. In former times, grower
had to start from home the day
before or early in the evening be-
fore, in order to get to town with
their leaf and have it spread upon
warehouse floors before sales
started in the morning. But now
they can have early breakfast at
home, drive in their trucks over
modern thoroughfares and sell their
tobacco and get back home for
supper with the family.
The entire community invites the
farmers to come to Henderson with
their tobacco, no matter how far
they may live, assured of making
good time on every stage of their
trip.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31
BY FRED M. ALLEN, JR.,
Sales Supervisor, Henderson
Tobacco Market.

The recently developed halliday SELL
ing system will again be used on the
Henderson tobacco market for the
1939-4O selling season. Drawn up for
the first time last year, this system
met with unanimous favor on the
part of farmers, Warehousemen, buy
ers and all concerned in the market
ing of tobacco.
Henderson was one of the first to
originate this highly satisfactory sys-
tenn, which met with such favor here
that it was adopted and used sue
cessfully this year on some southern
markets. It is predicted that in a
number of years all markets will
eventually turn to this system, due
to its many advantages.
By selling on the Henderson tobac-
co market, under the halliday selling
system, the farmer is first of all in
sured against blocks, with resultant
damage to tobacco and long stay
overs in town. The farmer also
knows that when he brings his to-
bacco to Henderson, he can call a
warehouseman and be told the exact
time his tobacco can be sold within
a very few minutes. This is the only
system that can accomplish this fea-
ture for the farmer.
On the Henderson market, there
are four full halliday sales guar
anteed each and every day through
out the season. AS no blocks can oc-
cur. sales space is cleared each day,
making room for more tobacco, en-
abling the farmer to place his to-

Explains Delay In Opening

Following a change made in
the opening date for the Mid
die Belt, the Henderson tobacco
market will open on Monday,
September IL, instead of Thurs
day, September ], as originally
planned.
This cange came as result
of a second meeting of the sales
committee of the United States
Tobacco Association, held in
Durham August rs, and the dates
were changed at the request of
buying companies who needed
two extra days on southern
markets to clear up floors there.
The change made in opening
dates affects the Henderson to-
bacco market official sales card.
which had already been approx
ed and printed At the time of the

Sales now will run as follows:

Warehouses; second sales, Plan
ters and Big Henderson Ware

morning before a sale SO that it will
be in a fresh condition and not sub
ject to damage, with its resulting
lower prices.
Tobacco is selling lower every
where this year, but the farmer is
assured a higher price in Henderson
by virtue of the fact that every con-
sideration is taken care Of, and the
fact that Henderson has the best SELL
ing system of any is only one proof
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31

of this statement
Henderson has been selling tobacco
since 1868, over II years now, and
is the oldest market in the Middle
Belt. For this reason, years of ex-
perience enable Henderson ware
housenen and other tobacco officials
to work out every possible detail to
insure the patrons of the Henderson
market the same higher prices that
have been paid for almost three
quarters of a century.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-08-31

Henderson not only has nine large
warehouse units for the sale of to-
bacco, but two large redrying
plants are also located in the city
and used by their owners in pre-
pairing the green leaf for storage or
shipment to meet requirements of
customers in laying in their sup
plies.
