The growth of this bank has been both steady and rapid from its organization until now we have one of the best coun try banks in this section of the country. We appreciate our customers au and show them every courtesy or favor possible consistent with sound banking. FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK, WARNING To the People of Forsyth County. We have been informed that some parties are hauling cotton seed from down somewhere in Milton county and selling them to the farmers of Forsyth county under the claim that they are Rucker cotton seed. * We wish to say that this claim is..pot true. The seed thus sold are perhaps third or fourth l6^ S‘lr 5 1 l ?ti%Tcer seed, and we do not stand for them at all. We would not plant them and we do not recommend them. The seed we offer to the Forsyth county farmers are grown this year from the best selected seed we had, and they are not only well matured and carefully selected, but, what is most important of all, they are thoroughly culled by the best cotion seed grader ever made and we consider that this thorough culling adds five times to their value. The farmer who plants unculled cotton seed does himself a great injustice. If you desire Rucker’s Select No. 1 Cotton seed, fetch your sacks to our warehouse in Alpharetta and get them at $3.50 per bus 1 el. . Rucker Cottonseed Cos ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA.
