It is of vital importance that the quality and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of buyers—competition brings top
prices. After thoroughly investigating SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and ha ve undertaken its distribution in this
vicinity.
