New Warehouse
-3* Free Weighing!
For four years we have contended with our warehousemen
that FIFTY CENTS is too much to charge a planter for handling
a bale of cotton. Now that cotton has reached a basis, we
know it is too much. We have arranged to put up at once an
office, scales and platform on the vacant lot fronting Forsyth street,
between the fire engine house and Summers' buggy factory, and
will handle cotton
. . FREE TO THE PLANTER. . .
The 25 cents which we shall charge for shipping will amply
repay us for our work and trouble, We offer to every patron of
our warehouse our
PERSONAL GUARANTEE
that his cotton will bring the highest market price every day in the
season. We cacnot afford to insure your cotton and as our room
is limits we only solicit the cotton that will be sold within a week
at least after being weighed.
Mr. J, TANARUS, Blalock will be associated with us in the enterprise
and will have charge of the warehouse. We want to weigh 5,000
bales. Figure the amount you can save in a season at our ware
house and bring us your cotton. Yours very truly,
J. W. STAFFORD & SONS.
P, S. Our two buyers, Messrs, W. C. and F. M. Stafford,
leave this week for New York to make our fall purchases, In
spite of Five-cent cotton we sell worlds of goods, These men know
how and where to buy them. Of course we can save you money,
so kindly keep us in mind when you are ready for your fall bill,
“Tall Oaks From
Little Acorns Grow”
As well as ‘-large rivers from little
streams flow.” And we were taught
in school that we either had to pro
gress or retrograde, that we couldn't
stand still. Of course we forward
marched, if not the rod was unsparing
ly used. As luck would have it how
ever, this was seldom, very seldom,
resorted to on our good teacher's part.
And as we were going on to say,
from our little start in business we
have grown to great proportions. At
the beginning our stock was counted
in hundreds, now it's thousands—-not
so many but a few. We are felt in the
community and we are going to be
felt more so. We arc going to make
additions to our already varied line.
We tried to keep from doing this.
We have tried hard for the past three
years to keep from adding it on to our
push and go-a head business. There
will be many old and young merchants
that will foretell our destiny. There
will be a lack of words to express
their sentiments as to our early de
mise. But to these, and others if
them be, we will flaunt the flag of
peace, if not prosperity, in their face,
for the benefit of their visionary im-
aginations, and if nothing else, we
wish 'em well. We like to have not
said it, but we will have for barter as
fast as we can procure them, some
sheeting, shirting, checks, shoes, need
les, thread, hats, “galluses,” and a
varied line of various varieties.
