The Dawn of the
New Year
Brings With it New Plans and
Resolutions
Above all let us resolve to try to make this as profitable
a year as possible.

judgement in our buying as well as our selling.
First of all be sure that vou get the quality then the price
We will continue to maintain our high standard of
quality, and guarantee you the benefit of every advantage
in price we can offer.
and Prosperous New. Year
To AH.
Company
rmers
I have the Early Small White Spanish seed peanuts, tho kind that will be in universal
demand for oil milling. Also North Carolina No. 1 seed peanuts. Better see me quick and
plnee your order before higher prices which will surely come later.
Cotton Seed
I will have tho Improved King cotton, the kind
which has been growing most successfully in the
boll weevil territory. . Have ample testimonials
from the boll territory from those who have grown it successfully. This cotton is quick
growth, small stalk, matures rapidly and when bolls mature the stalk dies quickly and does
riot furnish a breeding place for the weevils all along during the late summer and early fall
month's. This is the cotton for you to grow here. Sec me immediately and make your ar
rangements for your planting seed. Don’t delay; the supply from the growers is limited and
they will be sold up quickly. Understand these come direct from the growers and are grown
iu.Jtf.orth .Carolina where the seasons are shorter than ours, and this makes the Improved
King, seed doubly desirable. Get busy at once on this important question, for you know
ab^iiutely you cannot depend on our native grown, long growing varieties of cotton.
REAS of every variety of good quality and as many as you have, bring them if they are
good and tell your neighbor to do the some. '
