My Dear Fellow Member:

Your attention is called to a meeting of the members of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Association of your county in the Court House at New Bern, Wednesday, December 6, at 11 a.m.

Your director and Mr. R.J. Works will be present to give you the facts about the second cash advance to be distributed before Christmas, about that progress, the operations, the sales of our Association; and to furnish you with all other available information about it that you may desire.

The Association is yours. Its success depends upon the loyal support and active aid of every member. Every member’s personal interest is affected by everything that affects the interest of his Association, organized and operated to serve his interest and that of every other member. Therefore, it is the duty of every member to himself and to every other member to attend the meetings, to participate in all of its activities, to contribute his part in advice, work and in every other way to its success and progress.

Come to this meeting and let us have a heart-to-heart talk, taking counsel together about our difficulties, our problems, our future plans and everything affecting the present and the future welfare of our association.
