OPEN LETTER
To Oar Customers in Georgia
and South Carolina
The present European war situation has disorganized
the financial world, and is having its effect upon business in
our section, caused principally by the uncertain basis upon
which the present cotton crop must be financed and market
ed. We are now going through a “reconstruction period’’ and
our country will soon adjust itself to a sound and stable basis
upon which we will all do business, live and prosper.
With an abiding faith in the value of cotton we are wil
ling to do business on a COTTON STANDARD at 10c per
pound, on all sales to cotton producers or shippers, made
after Sept. Ist, 1914.

In accepting cotton at 10c per pound in payment for
Remington, Smith Premier and Monarch Typewriters we
require that it be on basis of Augusta middling and delivered
to us f. o. b. Augusta, Ga.
Yours truly,
REMINGTON TYPEWRITER CO.
