FIRST SOLID CAR
SWEET POTATEOS
A. C. L. MAKES QUICK DELIVERY
OF SHIPMENT TO WASHINGTON,
D. C? STORES.
The Florence Daily Times says:
"The carload of sweet potatoes which
the Sanitary Grocery Stores of Washington,
D. C., bought last week from
the Planters Produce & Storage house,
member of the South Carolina Sweet
Potato Association, was placed at 9
>mcfoiv)ov mnrrinc for unload
V UVtIV ^towviuut ?
ir.g, according to a service report this
morning to Mr. B. S. Meeks, commercial
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad, over which shipment was
made. On account of the rush order,
this being the first order of these
big chain stores, and anxiety to make
good connection, the Coast Line undertook
to make this movement especially
a sen-ice feature. They put
i* through in quick time after the
car was delivered to them.
"Since the shipment of the car, Mr.
T. Benton Young, president of the
South Carolina Sweet Potato Association,
has been making some investigation
regarding this order. He has
learned that this is ;he first solid car
of cured sweet potatoes ever shipped
out of Florence. As far as the records
of the railroad disclose, this is
the first carload of sweet potatoes
ever placed in the capitol.
"Much interest throughout the state,
wherever there are curing and storing
houses, has been aroused. The
shipment has attracted considerable
press comment and the story in the
Times, announcing the order, hae
been reprinted in a number of papers."
