OrganizationUnimpaired

i

Says President Stuart of iheGrowers Company Its Fu ¬

ture Rests with StockholdersNo Liabilities In GoodShape

5To tlie Stockholders of the K 0Bnriev Tobacco Growers Co

Before coins into details on wha hasbeen don I deem it proper to correctan erroneous Impression that a fowstockholders teem to have and that is

that we guaranteed that if we did notget the tobacco Binned np we would

give them back their money Such aproposition was never thought of ortalked over to my knowledge It doubtle < s grew out of the statement made inreference to the organization which wasand so stated on the subscription listBleneil that if we secured the amountstated hamely 5250000 in subscriptionand 10 per cent paid into bank wewould organize if not and we tailed tcorganize the company that the trusteetof the several funds would hand backthe money paid in

This was a proposition pure and sim ¬

pie as to the organization of the cotpany We dill organize the companyand the money was remitted to thetreasurer in accordance with the plansorganization As soon as we orgaized and elected officers and wentwcrk that ended that proposition bno one ever suggested a guarantee ththe growers would sign up their tobaccosuch a guarantee as that would be it ¬

possible for any one to make and wouldnot be a sound business proposition butthose parties who subscribed and paidtheir 10 per cent are the rtockholdeisof this company and our books and rcords are open at all times for their I n¬

spectionOur stockholders and the growers a re-

in a general way well informed of thefact that we began the organizationtills Cfmpnny about the first of Amigo

and the work was closely followed upby holding meetings in which the plans

previously adopted by the meeting ofdelegates at exiugton were fully ex-

plained and the benefits of the organi ¬

zation were thoroughly dwelt uponOn the 27th of September the comparwas incorporated organized anti equiped with its officers for business Im-mediately

¬

thereafter using the namesoutand addresses that the old Ompany hadsecured in 1901 we began the work ofexplaining the purposes of our organtion allover again direct to the grow erby mail To do this we han to havelarge force of clerical help immediately

The canvass was taken up and theentire hurley district fortyfour con nBties and in addition some outside con Ities were thoroughly canvassed takirthe name posiofflce address and esi irusted pounds of tobacco for 1904 and1905 As fast as we secured thesenames and addresses we sent them cir-

cular letters explaining what contractA was the necessity of signing a

theobacco in order to make the enthtenterprise a success This year alabor in the country taking statisticswas paid for by us this enabled us toIhave it done thoroughly In the meantime we perfected organization in eachcounty and when the time arrived tifirst of November to send out contra

A we were enabled to reach evenIgrower in the entire burley districtwhich means 44 counties requiringabout 42000 names and addresses to I IeCwritten contracts to be mailed inclndjug return envelopes printed and theletter also enclosed urging ujjpn thegrower the absolute necessity of imme-diately signing and returning the same

Procuring the necessary facilities todo this cost us considerable money besides the labor and material the teenwas that we perfected to a remarkablysuccessful degree our organization titcountry We had from forty to fiftygood substantial men acting as chair¬ Jmen or managers in each county whoproved by their labors that they weresincere and earnest in their work andwith few exceptions labored untiringlyIJfactof organizition was successfully attained

it received the untiring and enerntic support ofpJte omeers of flu 0tiiGflnarkvSLicks that wilt hold from 17 to OIiCseculdit was tlivouses on tJd the company 1

or lack of anyugflig the company coulddo The growers received our proposiMtori in the form of contracthey declined to accept or sign conse-

quently we failed to get anything likethe required amount of tobacco Thisot course was the undeniable privilegeof the grower arid It is no part of ourduty to criticise his judgment Timeand circumstances will develop whetherit was good or bad but it must not bestated or assumed by any one that theKentucky and Ohio Hurley TobaccoGrowers Company is a failure so far as Cits organization and work is concernedbecause the growers aid not accept theproposition made to them by the corn

atiy The organization still remainsis in good shape has no liabilities andcan be used by its stockholders to rertder any aid and comfort or benefits towthe grower that the good judgment oits stockholders and Board of Directorswiforward business proposition trom thecompany to the grower to purchase histobacco The grower declined the offerThat incident is closed but the comCanliutBoard of Directors may see proper orthat may appeal totheir beM judgment <
