derson, where standard warehouses are
already in operation The board OF di-
rectors at the meeting today consider
ed locating warehouses at other CEN

burst of Greenwood. The board. after
electing Governor Hayward president
and selecting the other executive offi-
GERS, spent a couple Of hours going
over the details Of the business, and
gave special consideration to offering
the maximum protection Of the ware
house receipt and making 1t the best
possible collateral. The Standard
company has been chartered with
capital stock Of $500,000 and none OF
the stock Is on the market for sale.
The idea has been, with the merging
of these centrally located warehouses,
to secure the best possible advantages
for those who store cotton. as well as
for those who have occasion to ad-
vance money on the receipts. All OF
the warehouses of the company are
now doing a good warehouse business
and considerable cotton has already
been stored this season. 1t will, no
doubt, be a comfort to many who have
