The man away over yonder in some outlandish place we never heard of may raise or forage all the victuals his folks need. But he can’t grow their clothes. He’s got to buy ’em. The family may get along on tapioca root, or rice, or some thing else in place of bread. They may never have heard of wheat by any name. But they know cotton cloth. And likely as not, the cloth their old man buys is made from a bale raised in your neighbor’s patch across the creek. The world wants cotton. And it looks to us for its supply. Cotton is and always will be our biggest asset, good as gold. Yet we’ve been wasting its value like some inheritance from a rich uncle. How? Listen: Baled cotton has two enem'cs only, weather and fire. We’ve been leaving thousands of bales out in all seasons, to be damaged dollar by dollar, day by day. We’ve been tak ing the risk that thousands more wouldn’t go uo in smcke Pick ip a paper. “Warehouse Bums,” says a headline; $17,000 gone off the face of the earth. “$30,000 Cotton Fire,” says another headline. IT GETS MONOTONOUS. Think Providence gets any pleasure out cf that? If Providence has anything at all to do with it, it’s her way of impressing on us the djiy cf preserving what she gives. We’ve got a warehouse that’s going to have something to do hereafter with the value of a big part of the cotton crop- Reinforced concrete, sprinkler system of fire extinguishers, electric fire alarm—these help to make the cotton in it proof against weather and flame. Insurance costs you two cents on one bale for one month, in this warehouse/ 1 of ours. The marine insurance companies have made a reduction of a quartet of one per cent, in their rate on cotton to be stored with us in transit. We might have spent about $75,000 and built a warehouse covering our 40 acres. Instead, our investment’s close to a million dollars. The difference is in a quality of warehouse buildings worthy of the south, worthy of her great est asset. We invite you to come and see our facilities. We want to convince you that we’re offering maximum safety at minimum cost. Atlanta Warehouse Cos. ASA G. CANDLER. Present P. O. Box 1483 Atlanta, Ga.
