GARDEN SPOT
TOBACCO AUCTION
The Auction System is working for you! We told you several
weeks ago not to sign contracts and how farmers who brought
tobacco to our first sale received 15 cents a pound MORE than
those who sold early. We had prices as high as $l.lO for top qual
ity middles, if you want the auction to continue to work for you,
you must support it. Bring the tobacco you have stripped in every
week to get a good average price for the selling season. Don’t
sign your profits away by signing a contract. Keep control of your
crop - bring it to Garden Spot, your tobacco auction.
