Bear* the /j Tlw Kind You Haw Always Bought TANARUS” To Our Friends and l Public Generally. \ owing to the fact that we had a great deal of trouble last year with cotton at our free warehouse, in having no storage room, and cotton being left exposed to Fire, Rain, Thieves &c., we thought it best for ourselves and our friends to procure a warehouse in which cotton would be safe, and insurance nominal, and all the buyers anxious to buy there at any time, We are fortunate enough to procure the Mur phey Brick Warehouse near the depot, and will operate it during the coming season- Our Mr. F. M. Stafford will have entire controll of the warehouse and will give it his entire time and attention. Our long experience in the cotton business and our superior facilities tor buying and placing cotton, places us in position to merit your patronage, your cotton will always behandled to best advantage. Our buyer will be on the spot and see that every bale brings the highest pos sible price. Every courtesy will be extended you and every care will be taken’of your interest. We have engaged Mr. James L. Hunt as scalesman and Mr. A. W, Baggerly as salesman, they, as well as ourselves will be glad to see you at our warehouse. We are against all trusts and combines and cannot help fearing the round bale scheme. They have money in great abundance and if they could rid this country of all the square bale presses and all the compresses, they could and we be lieve would bleed this country to death in the way of roy alties. They make us fair promises now, but we are afraid of any set of men,that will not sell their machines, but hold them, and demand royalty which we believe will grow lar ger and larger as the square bale is displaced. With the light and knowledge before us we advise our people to stick to the square bale. We want to say however to those that adopt the round bale that we will be glad to handle it at 12 1-2 cents per bale. All cotton insured free to the planter. Bring us your cotton and let us demonstrate to you that we can benefit you. Don’t forget we are at the Murphey Brick Warehouse near the depot.
