ed. So the tried and true auction
center was utilized.
Movement Begins
For few years private interests
operated the center and the re-
suit was in most instances salts
factory. Nevertheless, movement
began during 1916 to institute
changes in the system.
The town of Clinton had overall
control OF the center but the profits
Tor the most part were going to
private concerns. Then in August,
1946 the Clinton Junior Chamber
OF Commerce was organized and
chartered. Under the direction OF
Jim Barwick, young electric ap-
pllance dealer, who was named
first president of the organization,
a move to have the town turn
over the operation of the auction
center to the Jaycees gained mo-
nentum. The town agreed, with
the provision that if everything did
not. go we'll then control of the
produce center would return to the
towns governing body.
Novel Experiment
Thus the year 1947 witnessed the
beginning of a novel experiment.
From the beginning it was agreed
by the Jaycees that any profit
realized from the operation of the
market would in turn be put back
into the future development of the
produce center. Accordingly, a
trust fund was established and in
to this fund would go whatever
profits were forthcoming from
commissions on sales.
In order to help assure centra-
lized control over the details of
the operation. a marketing COM
mittee composed of Jaycee men,
bers was appointed. Knowing little
about the actual operation of an
auction center, this committee
turned to logical source of in
formation. They went to Florida
and visited marketing centers and
talked with marketing experts in
that state.
Appealing to these same. experts
for aid in expanding the Sampson
county center, the response was
immediate, and an expert was dis
patched to Clinton to make an on
the-spot-survey of the situation.
What that expert saw he liked.
Returning to Florida he contacted
John A. Dulany, one of the out
standing marketing officials in the
state and urged that he 60 to Clin-
ton and handle the actual opera
tion of the auction center. He did

The idea that old orders are the
best orders often has been put to
the test. The result has been that
in the greater majority Of cases
sprinkling of the new ideas among
the tried and true ones has ended
in an almost entirely new way OF
doing business. And the Junior
Chamber OF Commerce organiza.
tions have been in the forefront
wherever fresh ideas were involv-
ed.
Any mention Of outstanding work
among Jaycee chapters in the
state would surely bring to mind
the record OF the Clinton Jaycees,
not yet one year old.
Busting Town
Clinton is a busting town these
days. Comparatively high farm
prices throughout the nation has
been felt in this county seat OF
Sampson, the largset cts claim
ed county in the state. Too, it
must be admitted that the long
range program of agriculture di-
versification has had something
to do with added activity. Clinton,
being located in almost the geo.
graphical center of the county, to-
gether with being the county seat
and the largest town in Sampson,
has felt the full effect of this long
range program designed to better
the lot of farmers everywhere.
Tobacco and cotton and corn
was, until a few years before
1947, about the only source o! in
come for farmers in the area.
These products were also respon-
sible for the income of the varied
Sampson soil could be utilized for
mark Clinton as one of the fast
est growing towns in Eastern North
Carolina.
Truck Crops
But within a period Of the past
decade the idea that the rich
Sampson soil could be utilized for
longer period than three Or four
months in the year took root in the
minds of Sampson farmers. Hence,
the result, to make long story
short, was the steady development
of a truck crop program which
now brings to the county's farm
ers steady income from green corn,
pepper, berries Of varied types.
potatoes, squash, beans-all fitting
snugly into the plan of year-round
business and profit.
The next logical step in the pic
ture after crop development was
the establishing of a sales center,
a place where the increasing vol
ume Of produce could be market
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-08-01

just that and the result has been
satisfactory to all concerned.
Dulany came to Clinton from
Pahokee, Florida, one of the larg-
est markets in the south. With
over 20 years experience in the
marketing business, including sew
eral years with the Florida State
Farmers market at Pahokee and
the Tri-State cooperative market
at Mountain City, Tenn. he came
to Sampson county with the full
confidence of the Jaycees.
Non-Profit Basis
Thus when the season got un.
derway late in May, the market
was operated for the first time on
non-profit basis. In fact. even
the energy which went into the
development of the market was
free since all the profit realized
from the commission for the sale
OF produce was turned back into
the market, which was being op-
Grated for the benefit of the pro-
ducer in the first place.
The market is being operated
this year on the old site OF the
Sampson county fairgrounds on the
Newton Grove road. Faced with a
critical parking problem. the auc-
ton sheds were moved prior to the
seasons opening from the old spot
in the heart of town 10 the edge
of town. The present location is a
temporary one, with plans now un-
derway for the building of q large,
more modern market on per-
manent basis. The site for the
new location mas not as yet been
decided upon but final details are
due to be completed sometime this
fall.
At the present time produce is
flowing with regularity through
the auction center. Besides the
two office buildings and the auc.
ton shed, two unloa alng platforms
have been erected to handle the
produce as soon as it has been
sold. Once the produce has been
moved to the buyers stalls on the
unloading platform, it is repa cked
and loaded for shipment to the
distributing points by truck and
rail. Most Of the produce bought
at the Clinton market moved
North and West, but market Off
cials expect to expand in the year
ahead.
Two days after sale is made
at the auction shed, the produce is
in New York. Whereas three days
is required TO move the produce
from the shed to points in the
vicinity of Chicago and Detroit.
Thus far this season sales have
totaled We'll above half-mlllion
dollars. Even though the main rush
of the season is over, there is still
hope that this mark will rise to
the three quarter million dollar
mark. AS far as the actual number
VI PdChdSSS WlIS-l lldVC OCGh
handled is concerned. the number
now stands slightly in excess of
300 thousand.
The best day to date from the
volume standpoint witnessed 70.
tai of 20 thousand packages being
booght at the shed for little
over $4,000. Thursdays and Fri
days of each week are considered
bad days since the date upon which
produce arrives at the northern
marketing points has much to
do with the price realized from the
sale in Clinton. If produce is
bought on these days it is not
ready for sale until Monday. This
means deterioration of the pro-
duce.

mission expenses ranging from

expenses are paid. Money left after

enced a very dry season during
the spring. This was reflected in

indications are that August will

Praised
That the Jaycees have been sue
cessful in their project is witness
ed by the praise from both large
and small truck crop growers in
