To the Public.
I have turned over to Mr. E G Greene,
my contract in the Johns A Forehand
cotton warehouse, consequently I will
not be in Vienna this season to handle
your cotton. My reasons for making
this change is that I have accepted
twelve months position with Mr. C C
Greer in Cordeie, Ga. I thank my
friends and customers for what they
have done for me in the past and will
gladly do my very best to please those
who may patronise our warehouse' in
Cordeie. When you carry your cotton
to Cordeie be sure and hunt me up and
make your headquarters at Greer’s
warehouse. Give us a trial and you
will not be disappointed.
Yours truly,
O. R. Moroan.
