"Tobacco Warehouse", Eastern Reflector, 3 June 1891Text from
News-Article
Tobacco Warehouse
Prospects grow still brighter for a tobacco warehouse in Greenville--that
is for the first one, for of course others will follow as soon as that is
built. A few weeks ago the Reflector said that our enterprising townsman,
Mr. R. J. Cobb, was interesting himself in the matter and was taking
subscriptions for that purpose. On Monday he showed us his list which
represented a little more than $4,000 subscribed. He also handed in the
notice published elsewhere for the meeting and organization of the
subscribers on next Friday morning at 11 o'clock. As soon as the
organization is perfected work on the building will soon follow. You may
look out for tobacco sales in Greenville next fall. Hurrah for the first
warehouse!
