OLD TOBACCO MARKET
SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE
The market for old tobacco lying
about the county in farmers’ hands is
showing signs of life again after being
dormant for the last few years.
A grower reported at the tobacco of-
fice Tuesday that he recently sold his
1932 packing to a big manufacturing
concern for fifteen cents. The best
price he could get before he packed the
crop was five cents a pound, he said.

tobacco. At one of the big packing
warehouses in Lancaster, farmers de-
livering their 1934 crops to this con-
cern are asked how much old tobacco
they have on hand and of which years
and a record of it is made in the office.

People like language they can un-

What a world of advice is embraced
within the compass of these four words.
They comprise a homely sort of a
phrase, one that has been bandied about
for time immemorial. It has been
preached by the high and the low.
Presidents have used it in talking to or
sending communications to congress.
Governors have impressed it upon
members of their state legislatures.
Fathers and mothers urged its virtues
upon young married sons and daugh-
ters. Heads of municipalities repeat
it to the members of their town and
city councils.
Abraham Lincoln preached it. So did
Benjamin Franklin. So did others for
ages before their time. Men like Lin-
coln and Franklin knew, better than
many others the value of the advice.
Particularly so did Franklin who walk-
ed the streets of Philadelphia munch-
