THE BANNEB-HBiam XTHENS. CEOKCTX FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923.^ ADVANCES A THENS has the distinction of bfeing—during normal cotton producing years—the SIXTH largest inland cotton mar ket, a fact that has attracted world-wide attention. For a city of 20,000 people to attain to such an important position in the handling of the South’s leading crop, it is necessary that ample resources of cash and storage be available, as well as trans portation outlet for the enormous amount of cotton that this represents. All these resources have been available, and are now more than adequate to take care of even a normal cotton crop. But the territory around Athens is not now producing cotton to that extent. Conditions of planting, growing, harvesting and selling have undergone changes in the past few years that have affected the cotton industry and made the 'handling of the crop a new business—almost. Athens’ cotton factors, warehousemen, and men interested in the financing'end of handling it, have kept pace with the new conditions, and are better than ever prepared to take care of the farmer’s crop and his interests in marketing it. ON COTTON A THENS’ manufacturers of cotton products require just as much cotton'under the new conditions tp carry on their business—Athens’ cotton factors are just as anxious to buy what cotton there is available, Athens warehouses are just as anxious to store your crop under reliable conditions until you shall require it as ever, and we, as a financial institution, are prepared to OFFER LIBERAL ADVANCES ON COTTON to every farmer in Athens territory, when the cotton is stored with reliable warehousemen under conditions that are safe both to the owner and to us. These conditions are not hard to meet -provision has been made for the proper storage, and we will gladly furnish full in formation as to the terms upon which ADVANCES ON STORED COTTON will be made. We urge the farmers, of this territory to market their cotton, or to store it in Athens, whether you desire to obtain advances from us or not. You will find adequate facilities here—you will find courteous treatment—you will find interested and helpful co-operation.
