Baldwin's To Enlarge And Remodel
Farmville Store; Chain To Grow

Plans to enlarge and remodel
BaldWin's were announced today
by T. K. Baldwin. president of
F. G. Baldwin Company. Inc.
The cost of the project was not
announced.
Baldwin said that the store S
selling space would be enlarged
about 20 per cent with occupancy
of the building now housing Ver-
ser's. The expansion program
will give the store a little over
1900 square feet of selling floor
space.

modelling and renovation Of the
stores existing facilities, both
on the interior and the exterior
Baldwin said. The new store,
which will have an entirely
new front. will have a 1OO-foot
frontage on Main street.
William Basa. store designer
from Pittsburgh. Pa. has been
commissioned for, the renovation
and expansion project. according
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-12-19

to Baldwin. Preliminary sketches
are now being made. Construc-
ton is expected to begin early
in 1862.
The additional space will per-
init US to alleviate Growing in
several Of our existing depart
ments. 1t will also allow us to
establish several new depart
mentS,' Baldwin said.
Sixth Store Set
The Farmville store is not the
only expansion Of the family
owned Baldwin's chain planned
in 1862. Plans to open a large
store in Roanoke Rapids, N. C.
0arly in the coming year we're
'nnounced Friday.
The Roanoke Rapids store,
containing more than $4,000
quare feet of floor space, will
be the sixth in the chain operat-
ing in Virginia and North Caro-
lima.
The Baldwin group of stores
was founded in Farmville in 1890
by R. A. Baldwin. Other stores
are located in Lynchburg, Dur
ham, N. G., Rocky Mount N. c..
and Marion. The stores are
operated by grandsons of the
founder.

Dark Tobacco
Belt Poundage
is Millions

Buyers paid about the same
average prices for Virginia fire
cured tobacco during the week
ending December l as during
the previous week, the week S
belt-wide report states.
An unusually large amount of
tobacco in unsafe order ap-
peared on the floors. This re-
suited in a decrease in the gen.
eral average price.
The Federal State Market
News Service reports gross
sales were as follows: week end
ing D e m Der IA, 1,1lO.684
pounds, average 1896; season
through December Ia, 1870, 534
pounds. average $4O.15.
The week S average of 500. 96
per hundred was 20 cents below
the previous weeks return.
Sales for the three weeks to
date compare with 3,497, 1922
pounds sold during the same
period a year ago for an aver
age of $4O.29.
Growers reduced their de-
iveries to the Associations be-
cause of the slightly improved
prices for some of the better
qualities. Between four per cent
and five per cent Of gross sales
went under loan. Advances have
been made on nearly five per
cent of the seasons turnover.
The only significant change in
the offerings this week was the
appearance of a large amount
of tobacco in unsafe order. This
was caused mainly by heavy
rains in the area. Also, there
was a slightly larger percentage
of nondescript sold.

Q RED CHINA DEFEATED

PRESIDENT KENNEDY and
his wife arrived in Caracas,
Venezuela, Saturday amid the
highest security precautions in
that nations history. This was
where Vice President Nixon was
stoned in 1858. The Kennedys
were warmly greeted by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Betancourt after
their flight from San Juan,
Puerto Rico; but the crowds
seemed on the small side, some
probably were scared off by the
security precautions. On Sunday
the presidential couple flew to
Bogota. Colombia. They were
scheduled to return to Washing
ton Sunday night.
RED CHINA'S bid for a seat
in the United Nations was de-
clsively defeated Friday. The
final vote was 48-36 with 90 alb

The original location was
across Main street from the pres
ent site of Verser's. The last
move was in April, 1900 to the
site which has become a land
mark in the intervening 81 years.
Now " and undisputed dean of
the trading community, Frank
Verser will end Main streets
longest individual tenure at the
end of this month. When he
goes Verser's will be no more.
The property has passed to 9TH
er hands.
Good Stopping Place
To this bachelor bv choice who
gave his heart to Main street,
50 years is long enough and n is
a good stopping point. But he
won't be off the street, really,
since he will retire to the resi-
dence with the handsome lines OF
the days of spacious close-in hv-
ing. He was born and raised
at 300 S. Main street and will re-
turn to share it with his Sis
ter. Mrs. w. B. HobSon.
just as American presidents
have come and gone in his
time: Teddy, fresh from
Rough Rider fame in the war
that liberated Cuba from Spain,
Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge,
FDR, Truman. Ike, SO can Frank
Verser call off the rising and re-
ceding tides of merchandising
here.
