1st. Because more of the

fitted thereby than they would
by any other route.
2nd. Because is more
freight and other hauling over
Ninth street than any street in
town, there is annually twenty-
five million pounds of tobacco
hauled and re-hauled over this
street.
3rd. Because tobacco industry
has made Greenville what it is,
and our town is no being ad-
the third largest
bright tobacco market in the
world. Again, because the to-
industry pays more taxes
than my industry in the town of
Greenville.

business heart of one of biggest of American cities. It
occupies a whole block and calls in a large lettered sign
