l Whv Not Hold Your Cotton For 15c! |
1 Last vear tlm South raised 14,093,000 bales of cotton. Last year the world used 14,900,000 bales Southern grown g
i cotton She South failed by over 800,000 bales to raise as much cotton as the world needed aud used at a fair price. g
This year the United States Government says the South will raise only 13 and a-half or 14 million bales. Cotton g
P experts say the world will need and will use at a fair price 15,000,000 bales. The demand for cotton will exceed the j|
supply by a million or a million and «i hull bubs.
| THE WORLD WILL USE EVERY BALE OF YOUR COTTON AT FIFTEEN CTS. |
| PER LB. IF YOU DEMAND IT. HOLD YOUR COTTON AND YOU WILL GET IT. g
| The Southern States Cotton Corporation can hold your cotton for you more cheaply than you can. They pay I
tho freight and warehouse and insurance charges. They pay you cash to meet your obligations. They pay you interest g
oil the value of your cotton while it is being held. And they (guarantee Yon 15c per Pound, Basis Middling. Can the |j
i Corporation put the price to 15c? It has been done many times, and done by a smaller number of men. Cotton experts g
H siy it can he done again. Government figures say it can EASILY BE DONE NOW. Is the Corporation responsible? §jj
lV has hundreds of millions hack of it. It has ample capital to guarantee the payment of all scrip issued. Are the men g
*5 buck of it honest? The Governor of Texas says so Every bank in Macon says says so. The Macon Chamber of Com- ||
j| „,en e says so. Thousands of business men, cotton men, cotton mill men, banks, newspapers and farmers who have fully g
investigated say say so. Can’t you accept the guarantee of such as these? |j
