What's A Deed Worth? ~
Depends a whole lot on what it covers, doesn't it?
Say it describes “from 50 to 1 00 acres of land in the northeast corner of
Humdinger county.” Not very definite, is it? Not worth much.
How much is a cotton warehouse receipt worth? Depends on what it de
scribes, doesn't it? ~
Say it covers ‘‘one bale of cotton in Bob Fiddler's warehouse™ and is issued
to Bill Shakefoot. If you know Bill Shakefoot, and know Bob Fiddler’s got a
warehouse, you might lend Bill something on that bale. But it wouldn’t be
much. - %
And if ygp don't know Bill and never heard of Bob, you wouldn't lend any-’
body the price of a tobacco tag on that receipt, would you? .
But say the receipt calls for one bale numbered 304, marked YZX, weight 502
pounds, class good middling, condition good, liens or other incumbrances none, in the
storage of the Atlanta Warehouse Co. = °
Then you'd lend close up under ths market value of good middling cotton, even if
you wouldn’t know Bill Shakefoot to meet him in the big road. » :
That's the way it goes. A receipt that's DEFINITE and NEGOTIABLE is good se
curity for a loan close to what the bale’s worth, because the man who’s got the money to
lend KNOWS what he’s lending on. o 2
THAT'S the kind of receipt WE give. It MEANS something; and we stand behind
it to make it good. ] .
We've got a warehouse here that’s a sight. It covers 40 acres. It's fireproof. We're
careful and responsible. And our charges are low. One bale stored with us two months
costs you 64 CENTS, FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, INSURANCE. You can borrow, on
our receip QQ‘ pretty near what the cotton’s worth. ‘And we’ll sell that cotton for you without
one cent of commission.
We can offer so much for so little because - we're fixed to do business right.
We're working on a big scale. A mighty Tittleprofit from each one of a whole
lot of customers is what we get—and all you pay. I\!o commissions for middle
men to be charged against you without you knowing it. No waste anywhere.
Just efficiency, safety, economy. That's us,
Ry e
Atlanta Warehouse Co.
