Tobacco Booming at the Winstead

Last Monday the Winstead Warehouse averaged $32 for everything sold on the floor, including green tips, scraps, etc. The farmers were happy, we were happy and everybody was happy. The following are a few of the high averages made:

O.H. Hamlet averaged $45;

F.L. Ashley averaged $46.25;

Carver & Long averaged $44;

H. Parker averaged $44;

Murat Lunsford averaged $46.25;

Floyd Parker averaged $44;

Charlie Norris averaged $50;

Rogers & Co. averaged $44;

Satterfield & Russell averaged $50;

Rogers & E. averaged $50;

Edgar Walker averaged $45;

J.J. Rogers averaged $54.50;

Coy Lunsford averaged $49.50; and

Well, we could fill up The Courier with others who made great big averages.
