cotton crop. This company will
operate warehouses at all the principal
cotton centers of the state. and will be in
position to offer the PLANTERS DIRECT
MONEY A SD, TO cultivate their crops,
and when made, if there is prospect of
improved prices, the planter can hold
this cotton in our warehouses at less than
ONE-HALF the usual cost, on which
cotton he can secure money from us at

HEALTH

Most Important

In buying food products, several things

the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss Of money. In buy
