Tobacco Organizing Advice Stresses Business Conduct
An enthusiastic court house meeting heard Judge Thurman and Mr. McChord urge orderly businesslike conduct for the Tobacco organization. They stressed avoiding discord, keeping cool heads, and using business methods to ensure success. Tobacco is received by the Washington County Warehouse Company, stored at Mr. Jno Mayes barn, with work on a $10,000 warehouse to begin soon and 1,600 acres already pooled in the county. Next Saturday January 12 is the deadline to pool tobacco, with expectations of 100 more acres.
