J.H. Petty, well known local young man, was appointed as successor to H.B. Johnson as Supervisor of Sales of the Tobacco Board of Trade, at a meeting of the Board of Trade Saturday, in the Chamber of Commerce Rooms. Mr. Petty, it is thought, will make a most capable successor to Mr. Johnson, who resigned the post to accept a position with a local warehouse, after serving in that capacity for over five years.
A committee composed of Messrs. U.H. Cozart, W.M. Carter and B.T. Smith was appointed to petition the various companies for another set of buyers for the local market. At the present time four sets of buyers are working on the local market, and with the opening of a new warehouse, the seventh in this city, will, it is believed, further necessitate the additional set of buyers. If the additional set is secured, Wilson will have five sets on her market.
It has also been definitely decided upon that quadruple sales will prevail on the local market during the season, as last season it was found necessary to increase the number of sales on account of the vast quantity of “weed” sold. It can easily be remembered that the local market is the only one in this section of the country staging quadruple sales, as other markets usually hold double or triple sales.
With the best facilities the local market has ever had, the Board of Trade is taking steps to assure for Wilson a greater marketing season that was enjoyed last season.
