East's Enlarged Ginnery and
Grist Mill,

l have just added the famous Mum
ger System to my already we'll
equipped plant situated near the com
press at Brookhaven, and will gin the
first bales free, as last season.
All work first class in every detail
and satisfaction guaranteed, or no
charge will be made for services.
Will deliver cotton by wire cable to
compress free and blow seed in cars as
they fall from gins, enabling me to
pay customers the highest market
prices for all seed they wish to SELL
Special attention given to handling
seed for planting or other purposes
l will have 400 saws in operation and
can gin two separate bales every fif-
teen minutes. Best bagging and ties
can be secured at the gin at lowest
prices, saving time and trouble in hand
ling. My pneumatic Outlet system
with beaters and Murray elevators, is
superior to any other gins of this type,
as attested by the beautiful uniform
samples and splendid turnouts given
last season, increasing the value of
cotton, over old style, considerably.
My Munger gin with vacuum box
and belt-distributing system attached,
is acknowledged throughout the cotton
growing section as the most superior
gin on the market for cleaning dirty
cotton and producing fine sample and
good turnout.
In addition to this splendid collec-
ton of ginning machines, | have an
improved automatic engine which
drives the entire plant, and gives the
most uniform and regular speed of any
engine known and aids largely in at
tanning superior results over com
petition.
I use Fairbanks scales, the recog-
nized standard of the world, and will
give the largest yield of lint cotton
possible to obtain from accurate field
and gin weights, and will also use the
best gin register made, giving the Gus
toner a complete copy of his gin
transaction to file for future reference
and correction should error occur.
On each and every Saturday / will
operate large grist mill in connection
with my gins, and can produce so
bushels of cool, fine meal per hour.
Thanking my customers and friends
for the liberal patronage extended last
season and trusting to receive large
share of their business this coming
fall, l am, yours very truly,
W.T.. EAST.
