Buyers have been saying a lot of things against the tobac
co auction to get your tobacco boughtl We can
understand why! We cost them a lot of profit that YOU
made! Also, we have been their stiffest competition. We at
the warehouse, also, have demand we CAN NOT FILL,
and remember we only need to make our commission
not a fortune! If you listen and believe everything you
hear, you are making A MARKETING MISTAKE!
PLEASE COMB TO OUR JAN. 2 SALE, then you can see
for yourself what we are doing! We thank you for a full
warehouse of beautiful tobacco for Mondays sale but
remember, we also need large volumes of tobacco for
upcoming sales.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR FUTURE THAT WE
STAY! - SO REMEMBER US WHEN MARKETING SOME
OR ALL OF YOUR TOBACCO!
We are now dealers of 3 compartment
bale boxes, tobacco seed, and
cotton baling twine.
