It is always a big time in Zebulon on the say that the tobacco market opens.
Every one that intents to be on hand from the county districts with a load of tobacco are generally up early in the morning making preparations for their trip to town with their initial load, and each one tries to see if he can’t beat the other man and get in on the floor first.
The warehousemen are all ready now and have things arranged for the convenience of the farmers and will do their part to see that the farmer is treated right.
Wells and Sanford, proprietors of the Center Brick, have worked hard to let the people know what was in store for them at Zebulon when they come in with their tobacco. They have spared no time or expense to see that the farmers’ every need will be looked after.
Wiggs and Robertson, proprietors of Wiggs warehouse, have made many improvements of their warehouse for the farmers’ convenience, and will see that the farmers are looked after properly in every way.
The Co-op receiving station is now ready for receiving tobacco from the members of the Co-operative Association. It is said that the Co-op receiving station in Wendell will be open three days in the week for the purpose of receiving tobacco and at the warehouse in Zebulon two days in the week will be set apart for receiving tobacco at this warehouse. We failed to find out what days will be set apart for Zebulon.
Already some of the buyers are on the ground ready for the Zebulon opening, which takes place on September the 2nd. The Co-ops’ warehouse will open on September 1st, it is said.
Some of the auctioneer force is already here and ready for business.
Zebulon is looking for a good tobacco season this year.
The merchants in town are looking forward for a big trade from the tobacco farmers, and are prepared to treat them with every courtesy.
