Roundiap Bale Advantages- It is to the fanner’s advantage to patronize the roundiap gin for these and other reason: Because it costs him nothing except the ginning charge to have his cotton put up in roundiap bales. Because it costs him nothing to sell his cotton after it is baled, roundiap bales being bought at gin weights and without having to be resampled. Because the farmer can take his roundiap bales home, if he desires, and keep them without expense until he is ready’to sell, with the certainty that when he wants to sell they will bring the highe t msrket price. Every bale pu p at a roundiap ginnery is samp and before it leaves the press and u. number, weight, and grad*- aie recorded. The farmer who holds his cotton in roundlap bales can find out exactly what it is worth on any day, by telegraphing, tel ephoning, writing to or calling at the roundlap plant where it was ginned. He can sill his roundlap bales any day on any market,mak ing delivery within a reasonable time thereafter. If the farmer wants to borrow money on his cotton the American Cotton Company will make iiberal advances on roundlap bales at fa vorable rates. Besides the money he makes, the farmer who hauls his cotton to a roundlap gin saves time and trou b'eand has his cotton put up in a bale that is more acceptable to the spinner lhan any other cotton package made. ■ —. ■■ 1 —> Change in Business- Desiring to make a change in my business at an early date, r must request all those indebted to me t:> call and settle as it is impor tant my books should be closed by the first of December.
