The natives are Mohammedans, and our Christian Sunday is to them nothing but “adlao ahad,” which is Malay talk. Before crack o’ day, any Sunday morning, hundreds of ’em have gathered from many miles around. Some have paddled canoes all night in order to sell a little bunch of garlic and be with the crowd. There’s great hubbub, and much ado about little; but by dark everything has changed h an ds to their complete satisfaction. » That’s the primitive fashion. Our cotton markets today are patterned on those same old lines. Cotton needs but a gathering point and a time understood. We’ve built here, for your service, a reinforced concrete warehouse, proof against fire and weather. It’s equipped with the Webb high density compress. You won’t find an other east of Texas. We’ve got a fire insurance rate that is the lowest in the world on cotton. We use overhead trolleys, like those in big packing houses, and handle a bale for about 11-2 cents, as against 16 cents with a negro and a truck. We issue a NEGOTIABLE receipt—one you cam borrow money on. Thirty mills are busy within 40 miles of Atlanta. We lend ’em money, at low in terest, to buy your cotton. Fretty respectable local demand, isn’t it? Your cotton here is between the domestic and foreign demands. It cam go either way with ease. You get the advantage in competitive price and readier sale. The local freight you pay to send your cotton to us is refunded to you when you sell. The buyer applies it in part payment of the total through rate, just as if the cotton had been shipped straight from you to the mill in the first place. When you’re ready to sell, you get the services of our organization and experience. And if your cotton has paid two months’ storage, we don’t charge one cent of commission. Here are our charges—and these are all: Handling in and out, 10 cents a bale; Storage, each month, 25 cents a bale; Insurance, each month, 2 cents a bale. One bale of cotton stored with us two months and sold by us for you costs you, for handling, storage and insurance, 64 cents. Who can beat that? P. O. Box 1483 B-4 Atlanta Warehouse Co. ASA G.
