Newspaper Page TextThe Marietta Fonrnal JOURNAL, ESTABLISHED 1866 VOL. 49. FIRST NATIONAL BANK 10 MAKE 6% LOANS Because of the position held by the First National Bank of Marietta, Cobb County will enjoy a greater prosperity this year than has been possible heretofore. The First Nat jonal Bank is now offering to lend the farmers money on cotton at 69, interest. This cotton is to be placed in a large warehouse, centrally locat ed in Marietta, and owned by the bank. A very moderate warehouse charge in addition to the interest rate is to be made. The First National Bank is a very strong financial institution within it self, having assets of more than $700,000, and is being carried on by men whose business ability is at tested by the steady growth of the bank. It is also the only bank in Cobb county that is a member of the Fed. eral Reserve System of Banks through which the United States Government will place $30,000,000 on cotton loans. The strong re sources of the First National Bank together with their connection with this great system of banks assures plenty of cash for Cobb County farm ers,. This in turn means that the farmers can meet their obligations with the merchants and the mer chants with others and so on, there by making more and better prosper ity for every one. It is a plan that makes the farmers independent and prevents them having to renew notes and pay compound interest. In fact he can turn the tables by borrowing at six percent on his cotton, buy goods at cash prices and then if the market continues to rise as it is ex pected to do, he will make big money. If this plan had been in effect last year farmers who sold their cotton at six cents would now be getting ten You are now on the eve of marketing another crop, and owing to war conditions, perhaps many of you would like to hold your cotton, provided you could do so at a reasonable cost, with the view of obtaining better prices later in the season. This bank is now perfecting arrangements to operate a BONDED WAREHOUSE and lend on cotton stored therein | MONEY AT 6 PER CENT TO. COBB COUNTY FARMERS We own our warehouse which is a large brick building right in the heart of Marietta, and by OCTOBER Ist, we will have all the necessary equipment and an experienced man in charge to weigh and handle the cotton. Our warehouse charges will also be very reasonable. This is no doubt the first time the farmers of Cobb county have been offered money at such a low rate of interest, and we ?re gnabled '[(Zl do this through our membership in the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA, where we can obtain what unds we need. We will make a further announcement later advising how many days during each week our warehouse will be open to re ceive cotton. In the mean time, we should be glad to have any Farmers of Cobb County who contemplate storing their cotton, to call and make their arrangements now.

The Journal believes it will be to the interest of every farmer to take advantage of this plan. Should the English blockade on cotton be lifted or forcibly brok en Germany will take a million or more bales at fifteen cents a pound at once. Any way the slower cot ton is marketed the steadier the price will be and if the marketing is pro perly handled the price will be forced up. We are certainly glad that Mari etta is so fortunate as to have a bank of the financial strength of the First National, and also that it is a member of the great Federal Re serve System of Banks.
