Answer**
TO THE PUBLIC
From this date I will quit buying
cotton from the board as I will be-
in future a warehouseman only. The
cause is namely: It cost too much
money to carry a bale of cotton away
from the railroad, then have to haul
it back. Thep resent cost is as fol-
fcSB
Sample at present price 50
Hauling to Warehouse 10
From Warehouse back to railroad .16
Warehouse charges 56
Total $1.30
Kind friends who pays this? Lis
ten! you pay it. If this was all I
would stop and say no more, but it
cost 3 days time on account of poor
service to get your bale of cotton' out
of the warehouse on account of the
scarcity of labor, as on account of the
warehouses being full it takes four
men to get a bale picked up and out
of a pie!. I say cut it out.
I will weigh, class and put your
cotton f. o. b. the G. S. & F. Railroad
for sixty jents per bale against $1.30
it is flow costing you. A saving of
one-eight of a cent per pound, not
only this, but I will save you three
day’s interest as well as loss in weight
for this time to the buyer.
Friends: I know the cotton busi
ness and am telling you facts this you
cannot deny, and more, I will not
keep you waiting all day to sell your
cotton. I will operate a free automo
bile to carry you and the buyers
twice a day at 9:30 a. m. and 3 p. m.,
these will fcem y principle-sales hours
as it is after the opening and close of
the contract markets.
Remember I will not buy your cot
ton unless you so desire then I will
resell it to the first buyer that comes
unless the marketc hanges, at the
samep rice paid for it. I will make
sixty cents a bale without ever samp
ling and underweighing and save you
time and interest.
This is tho time to cut out all ex
tra expenses and handle your crops
to the best advantage to your coun
try and yourself.
Do not expose this the South’s
greatest crop to the rain to rot. I
will house and protect every bale of
cotton I weigh.
