ATTENTION TOBACCO FARMERS!! The Farmer's Friend! * FINAL SAUBI OATES A TIMES r PUASKNOTUI Monday, April 13 -1 P.M. (12 Noon Slow Time) Wednesday, April 15 -1 P.M. (12 Noon Slow Time) (Closed April 17 thru 20) The buyers are here and they want your tobacco. Last weeks top price was 65*. Average price was also up from last weeks sales. Large amount of tobacco sold for 60*. We need new tobacco companies in our market. We at Paradise are doing the best we can to get this job DONE. If you sell tobacco on the farm it is because the buyers feel they can buy it cheaper from you there. Don't sell us out now! Let’s stick together and move this market price higher. The auction is the only place you can go to to get this job done. If the buyers tell you the auction cannot supply enough tobacco for their needs right now, that’s not true, because they can get all the tobacco they want if they bid for it. Last days to receive for processing with Parker Tobacco Company will be April 21 thru 24. We feel if you do not sell tobacco that you should consider processing to keep your tobacco from spoiling on the farm. Also, by processing with Parker, your tobacco will get world wide exposure through their expert sales force.
