Bear* the j* The Kind 'You Haw Always Bottght
I T*
To /Friends and
Public Generally
owing to the fact that we had a great deal of trouble j
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 contrail 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 be handled 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 scaiesman 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 ot roy
alties. • . , , .. .
They make us fair promises now, but we are al raid ot
any set of men that will not sell their machines, but hold
them, and demand royalty which we believe will raw 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.
We also have lots of goods of all kinds over at the store
and will be glad to see you there.
Yours truly
J. w. Stafford & Sons.
Just Come and See!
