Our system of doing business is such
that all may confidently rely on get
ting the best price and early return for
their produce. making it a universal
rule to deposit the Planters money in
Bank, for their own especial use, and
not ours it is therefore, always ready
for them when ordered or called for.
The practice of specializing on the
Planters funds has, in a great many
instances, resulted disastrously to both
parties. We, therefore, discard that
principle as illegitimate and dangerous.
We promise strict attention to our pa
irons interest
Having secured the services ola SUI
perior Cotton Salesman, and being
provided with ample room and facili-
ties for doing Cotton Business, our
customers may rely OH the best prices
and quick sales. The consumption of
cotton now equaling the production, We
think the planters may safely antici-
pate an ample remuneration for their
labor for Years 10 come.
All cotton consigned to US will be sto-
red in a substantial brick warehouse
and insured, unless otherwise instruct
ed.
Our terms for storing and selling cot
ton is fly cents per bale. Liberal adj
vanceS made on produce shipped to us.
Our supply of Bagging, Rope and
Groceries is large, and of superior
quality, and will be furnished at the
lowest cash rates to our customers.

dence, and receive your patronage.
