The Henderson tobacco market
opens next Tuesday, September II,
at 8 a. m. sharp. RcSuming sales for
the 72nd consecutive year, Hender-
son is looking forward TO one of the
most gala openings in its history.
The Henderson market is better
equipped this year than ever before
to handle your tobacco more
promptly and more courtcously, and
to secure for each and every farmer
the very highest dollar for every
grade of his tobacco by improve
mcnts in the operation of the SIX
warehouses which have served the
market in the past, and by the addi-
ton OF another large warehouse to
the market this season.
With the market running on the
halliday selling system again this
wear, and with the two complete sets
If experienced buyers on the market,
the speed in handling the tobacco will
love a great asset to the farmer in
dollars and cents. His tobacco Will
reach the buyers in record time from
the pack houses, thereby preventing
excess damage caused by a long
waiting time on the warehouse floor
and by so much re-handling.
The staff Of buyers returning to
Henderson this year is virtually the
same as that of the past season. There
will be two sets of buyers again, and
all of them are experienced tobac-
conists. They are not newcomers,
but are men, most of whom have
made their homes here the year
round. and they and their families
are integral parts of the town and
it's business, church, and social lll2;
interested in the town and county
and in seeing that the farmers re-
ceive just and full price for their
tobacco.
The warehousemen who will serve
you on the Henderson market this
year cannot be surpassed by any
other group of tobacco men anywhere
for skill, integrity, courtesy or
knowledge of tobacco. When you
place your tobacco on their floors
this fall, you can rest assured that
they will be doing everything in
their power in seeing the highest
price possible for every pile OF your
tobacco.
Officials on the Henderson mar
ket are highly optimistic over the
prospects for the 1904 season.
Prices are expected to continue TO
hold good throughout the season,
resulting in a higher average price
for every grade for the entire season
The Henderson tobacco market has
continued to grow for its II years of
existence. There must be reason.
And there is, very good reason.
The local market offers each and
every farmer Extra Dollars, Extra
Courtesy and Extra Satisfaction.
Don't forget Gall roads lead to
Henderson-Your Friendly Market"
The Banner and Planters Ware
houses will be operated by A. H.
(Bert) Moore and D. F. Curtin. These
men are known and liked throughout
the tobacco growing sections of the
Carolinas and Virginia. When they
60 on sale, it is with one thought IN
mind, that is to sell the tobacco on
their floors just as high as they
can. Never satisfied with just the
regular market prices, they are al
ways trying to get better price for
their friends who bring their tobac-
CO to the Banner and Planters.
The Big Henderson is operated by
C. w. Knott, Wilson T. Smith and
Lyman Wilkerson. All three are
warehousemen who are continually
working. during every sale, for the in
terests of patrons. Satisfied with
only the highest price, this policy
has not only kept their old customers
coming back from year to year, but
it has brought them many new pa
irons each succeeding year.
The Carolina, opening this year for
its first season, and Coopers, are both
under the efficient management Of
w. M Young, who has been in the
tobacco business longer than any
other Warehouseman in the United
States; w. B. Dale, Jr., R. S. Dick"
Young and Fred S. Royster. They
are Warehousemen who can be class
ed as both aggressive and progress
sive. They are progressive in the
management of their warehouses
on sale, that is, they are never afraid
to place the last bid on pile of to-
bacco-a good insurance against a
bad sale.
The Farmers Warehouse has WAL
ter Aston and Noel Tuck as opera
tors. Those Warehousemen have an
unbroken record on the Henderson
market for selling tobacco high.
"Give us a test-and you'll bring
us the rest is their motto, and is
well affirmed by the capacity sales
they have at the Farmers Warehouse.
