Now, it is we'll known fact in the
commercial world that in order to do
business either the manager Of this
cotton exchange or cotton exchange
itself must have sufficient capital Or
financial strength to insure it's strength
and stability in all markete; or the cot

tion backed by its bonded warehouses
with sufficient securities to make it's

tions are not rated in financial way
according to the individual wealth Of
their managera, but their ratings ere

cotton growers of Anderson County
