Tobacco Ad Values and Havana Seed Interest in 1913
Tobacco farmers seek to dispose of last season's crop as prices fall to five or six cents per pound. Advertisements offer forty acres of tobacco from parts of the county, with hair-cut leaf fetching seven to eight cents earlier. Havana seed draws 19 to 20 cents, broad leaf at ten to eleven. Ohio flood damage raises hope for Pennsylvania leaf demand. Mt Hope fire destroys the alcohol plant warehouse and two box cars, with several thousand dollars in losses and no clear insurance.
