A New Warehouse

\ new tobacco warehouse is on
the way for the Henderson market,
and will make 4 total Of seven. While
the crop this year is to be one-fourth
to one-third smaller than in 1889,
the general feeling is that the more
facilities market has the more to-
bacco it will handle.
Some also hold to the belief that
the greater the number of different
groups pulling for and boosting the
market the more farmers that are
brought 10 town 70 sell their crop
and to do at least a part of their
trading While there were already
enough warehouses in Henderson to
handle all the tobacco brought in for
any one season. the same is also true
about other markets. And no mat
ter what the condition or size OF the
crop, or the prospects for profit
able marketing season, never does a
summer go by but that some market
somewhere in the State builds a new
warehouse or enlarges old ones. In
the past several years Henderson
has perhaps done its share Of en-
larging, and is showing now that it
can remain abreast of the move
ment.
While the crop this year is much
smaller. and there may be heavier
restrictions on both the warehouse
men and the grower, there is at the
same time the ever present possibil-
ity that some day the farmers may
be again allowed their freedom to
plant crops and till the soil to their
own choosing. World markets may
some day open up again These
things would PROBABLY make for
larger crops and more business for
the farmer and the Warehouseman.
At least the Henderson market is
not static. It has some progressive
W'arehousemen who believe in NOV
ing forward. And the new house |
will put Henderson further to the |
fore as Leaf center in the State.

Merely Routine

Those who had anticipated the
Democratic State Convention in
Raleigh next Friday with the idea
that there might be some fireworks
are in for disappointment. The
Roosevelt third term movement will
be endorsed without serious contest,
and little enthusiasm, unless manu-
featured, VIII be evident for any of
the gubernatorial candidates, and
there will be more war talk than
any other kind.
Backed by endorsements from
something like thrce-fourths of the
counties in conventions last Satur-
day, the Roosevelt leadership will
find that passage OF their resolution
will be mere routine. Those few
counties that did not endorse will
send delegates who will, for the
most part, be favorable, and will
offer no resistance.
With this issue safely in the bag,
chief political interest will be STIR
red by gubernatorial sparring. The
candidates will all be there, and at
intervals and at proper times will
rise from their seats on the floor, or
stroll a few steps, or more than that,
so as to be seen and give supporters
a chance to hurrah.
The snaller fry office-seekers will
try to make as much noise and stir
as much interest for themselves as
possible. But they won't scratch, by
comparison with larger stakes that
will engage the conversation.
Throughout the State the sheep
have caught the voice of their shep-
herd all, are ready to be herded info

PLYMOUTH

Designated as the glamour car"
the 194l Plymouth appears in three
series: The Plymouth, the Plymouth
de luxe and the special de luxe.
Bodies are lower, longer and more
sleek In appearance, tenders being
high and the body beltline being
drawn into v at the front, skirted
there by heavy horizontal grille
bars. Bumpers are massive and low.
Interior styling is luxurious, and
on the special de luxe series, two
tone color combinations are avail
able.
Plymouth improvements and in
novations are numerous. The en-
CINE Is given greater performance
capacity, not merely because of in
crease in output to 81 horsepower,
but because of the high torque at
low speeds. All this is translated
into brilliant performance by rea-
son of use of the getaway" gear

ClilloliI olill tliIe, WllcltIll eligible
suction is used to relieve the driver
of actual work of shifting the gears.
The driver has merely to flip the
shift lever toward the gear position
he wishes to use.
Featured on Plymouth is the
Chrysler safety-rim wheel. which
makes it possible to drive on blown
out or punctured tire as easily as on
one with 10 pounds of air. ajor
object Of the new rim is to prevent
tires from being thrown off the
wheel at high speed. The new
Plymouth hood is one piece, locks
on the inside of the car. and is
counter-balanced so that it cannot
drop down on any one working on
the motor. Luggage compartment
covers also are counterbalanced.
Bodies are especially sealed against
dust, water. heat and noise. A new
oil-bath air cleaner adds to engine
life Bearings Of the engine are said
to have five times longer life.
Unusual is Plymouths mounting
of the twin horns just back of the
radiator grille. Eleven standard COL

trim. Available In three other
models, including a station wagon,
is the Custom Torpedo. also on 1872
inch wheelbase. In all three series,
the buyer has choice OF the six or
eight-cylinder engine.
While retaining the Pontiac Silver
Streak motif. the torpedo bodies for
l94l have been made wider, longer
and lower. Horizontal chrome
grills extend from headlamp to
headlamp and join with tenders,
bumpers and hood for a suggestion
OF massive beauty. The tops of
the Pontiac tenders overhang slight
ly, with wide pleats on the fender
skirts to suggest speed. Chrome
holdings on the Streamliner and
Custom Torepdo models and con-
trasting trim colors on the De Luxe
Torpedoes further enhance speed
lines. A flare at the bottom of the
doors completely conceals and pro-
tects the running boards.
Mechanical innovations are num-
erous. With the standard compress
sion ratio of 65-to-1, the six engine
develops 80 horsepower. the eight,
103 Special heads with 7.5-to-1
ratio are available. Pontiacs new
oil filter is located at the inlet to
the oil line in the crankcase, where
all oil must pass before reaching
working parts. Sediment is thrown
out of the oil by battle plate which
reverses its flow and is caught in
settling chamber An over-center
booster spring on the clutch pedal
helps ease driving. Pontiacs ac-
cessories for l941 are unusually COM
plete, including no-rol and con-
stant-action windshield wipers.

pronounced "tops," set of by a
thin beading. There is a slight
forward leaning effect, due to the
nose of the car projecting beyond
the grillwork. Bodies are longer
and larger. with bright interiors.
This year there is a station wagon
in the Mercury line, and it departs
from usual design by featuring
swivel windows for the front doors
similar to those used in all the
closed and open models of American
cars. Body models include two
door sedan. four-door town sedan,
six-passenger sedan coupe, a coupe
with or without extra folding seats
and a club convertible which has a
top that is operated by two electric
motors This top can be controlled
regardless of whether or not the
engine is running.
There is an entirely new frame
for the Mercury. Wider rims take
wider tires. Long, softer springs
have a slower rate and give much
easier ride. They operate in con-
junction with improved shock alb
sorbers. The rear spring is longer
than in previous models, and a
larger proportion of its length is
used for cushioning the body. To
check sway and adverse effect of
cross winds, Mercury cars are now
fitted with a new ride stabilizer.
Final factor in the improved ride
is use of coiled-spring seat cushions,
covered with a foam-rubber pad.
Mercury Is another of the cars
to aid the driver by giving him
better visibility through slightly
