15c COTTON!
Everybody is Looking for It and Predicting It
The World*s Best Authorities Say It Is Bound to Come Soon
Why, then, should not the farmer be made to see this opportunity and make up for his losses for the past
two years!
Why do not the business interests of the towns and cities get together and endeavor to stop the farmer from
sacrificing his cotton! ** ...
The South is impoverished today because we allow or compel the fanner to sell all of his cotton within
three months, glutting his market and ruining the prices at which he sells. s
One bank in South Georgia writes the Southern States Cotton Corpo
ration'that it does not believe in holding cotton, and will not permit the
farmer to hold it if it can help it, believing that “lie should take what is in
sight.” Early, in August some farmers reported to this corporation that
they had sold their cotton for October delivery at 10.oik per pound. It is
presumed these farmers were acting upon the advice of this hank and
“taking Avlmt was in sight.” How does this hank’s attitude of forcing
the farmer to sell look in the light of 13c cotton! Is i.t really good to
“take what is in sight,” or would the'farmer have profited hy holding his
cotton!
The farmer is not alone responsible for glutting and.ruining tho mar
ket and selling all of his cotton in three months. 'There is a system around
tlie farmer that is choking him to death, and when this Corporation pro
poses to interfere with that system hy protecting the farmer and getting
him a fair price for his cotton, there is a big hurrah and denunciation
from tlie interests that think they are going to be interfered with. Many
farmers go to these very people who are bleeding him to death and ask
their advice. They tell him to stay out of the Corporation—that it is
dangerous. Read the following, and see why this advice, is given so
freely:
; On Sept. 11, 1913, middling cotton was selling in Liverpool for 15.02c
per pound. This is $75.10 per bale.
In Macon that day this same cotton brought only 12 l-2c per pound, or
$62.50 per hale.
This is a difference of $12.60 per bale,
j The freight and insurance to Liverpool is $4 per hale.
What become of the other $8.60?
i . _ '.
The truth is, the farmer has something which is valuable, hut does not
% know how to get the value of it. The middlemen get that $8.60, besides un-
? dergrading and tare, amounting to $2 to $5 more, per hale.
Any ono with cotton which he desires
to have held for 15b. per pound should
deliver it at his regular warehouse or
railroad station, taking a receipt for it.
Notify our representative in that town,
and if he cannot be found, write the
Macon office.
We will have this cotton sampled,
weighed and graded. A check will be
given on local balm for three-fourths
of the market value that day. The owner
of the cotton gets this in cash upon
depositing hJs warehouse receipts and
check at the bank.
If tho market price is 12c. per pound, a
check Is given for 9c. per pound cash.
Then the Corporation sends from the
Macon office its scrip or note for 6c. per
pound more, this scrip to be paid when
the cotton has been sold for 15o. This
scrip bears 6 per cent Interest, interest
pSid every 90 days.
This Corporation assumes every cent of
•the charges against the cotton for hand
ling and carrying It, the grower or seller
not having to pay out anything while
it is held. Tlie only cost to tlie grower
or seller to have his cotton held under
this plan Is $1.35 per bale fee, payifble
when tlie cotton is delivered to tlie Cor
poration.
The entire cotton is placed in the bank,
the bunk holding it for the money ad
vanced. All tlie money paid on this
cotton goes to the farmer, and the Cor
poration cannot draw any part of the
farmer's one-fourth left In tho cotton,
the bank holding tills one-fourth as mar
gin of security while the cotton Is held
for 15c. - ...
The corporation lias arranged with
European hankers for sufficient money
to take up and hold three to five mil
lion baleH of cotton. By taking this
amount of ootton out of the market, the
congestion will be relieved, and all of
the outside cotton will bring a better
price. Later ijfter all of the cheap cotton
has been consumed, there will be no other
supply except In the hands of this corpo
ration. and 15c. will be paid for It. We
add the carrying charges to this 15c.,
getting back our money paid out while
holding it, and paying the farmer his
15c. net.
Does He I Need Anybody to Protect Him?
We propose to make tlie world I pay the fimner 15c net, for his cotton, middling basis. By holding this cot
ton out of tiie market, every pound of-it will be sold Jor 15c net. Tlie farmer who sells for less is to sit beforo
the fire this winter and think of the/debts lie still owes, tlie children who can’t have warn clothes und have
to go uneducated, the wife who will (have to wear last year’s calico at her drudgery, because of his lack of
good sense in sacrificing his cotton {after his family helped him to make it. _
Hold Your Cotton for ISc
IT IS WORTH IT IF YOU WILL/MAKE IT BRING IT—-We will help you three-fourths if you will only
do one-fourth. Write for information. * . i . . . . ... - ...
