| wood, Miss, at anexpense of over $40,
| 900 to demonstrate to the Staple Cot
ton Growers the great value of thei
ginning system over the Saw Gin sys
tenn in the ginning of Delta Stapl
Cottons.
The Empire Duplex Gin Compan,
have spent over $4,000 in the develop
rnent of their Cotton Gins and ar,
pleased to announce that the gins ar,
perfected and now being installed il
Staple Cotton growing sections of tn,
world. '
1t is well known fact that the Saw
Gins Shorten and in other ways injur,
the Staple Cottons in the process oi
ginning, resulting in great loss to tht
growers Of Staple Cottons. 1t has al
so been proven that the proper methoc
of ginning Staple Cottons is by the
Roller Gin, when adapted to system
ginning.
All Egyptian and Sea Island Cottons
are ROLLER GiNNED and the Cotton
Mills buy Freely because they are
Roller Ginned. If Saw Gins were used
in these fields, there would be no mar.
ket for their Cottons, owing to the
great damage to to the cotton in
process of ginning.
The Egyptian Cotton is the strongest
Competitor of the Staple District of
the South. If it were Saw Ginned,
THEY COULD Nor SELL IT. THIS is
A FACT BEYOND DISPUTE. 1t is
also strong argument why the DELTA
STAPLES should be Roller Ginned.
The Empire Duplex Gin Company
have established well equipped plant
in Greenwood, Miss, because they be-
lieve it to be the very center of the
best Staple Cotton grown in the world
and therefore they have made this in
vestment to prove to the Cotton Planters
the successful working of the Duplex
Roller Gins.8 The Empire Duplex Gin
Company do not propose to enter the
field as public ginners. They realize
that it is necessary to fully demonstrate
In public way the effectiveness of
their ginning system. to also prove the
advantages of Roller ginning over Saw
ginning, before the growers and cotton
buyers will have confidence in their
system. We propose to do this at our
own expense.
The Cotton Mill buys and uses the
Cotton best suited for the work in their
mills. THEY ARE THE FINAL COURT
OF DECISION. If they want Roller
Ginned Cotton, no matter how it looks
as to appearance in the eyes Of the
cotton buyer, and they are willing to
pay premium for Roller Ginned over
the same cotton ginned by the Saw
Gins, then it surely is of great advant-
age to Roller Gin your Staples.
THIS is OUR POSITION.
A FACT
Several Eastern Cotton Mills have
become converted to Duplex Ginning.
WHY?
Because--the cotton is not gin cut.
4 Because there is less waste.
Because-it is more uniform and
regular in staple.
Because the mill receives more
cotton from the bale.
A REASONABLE PROPOSITION.
1t is the purpose of the Empire Du-
olex Gin Company to awaken an inter-
est among the Staple Cotton growers
If the Delta and to prove to them that
They, The GROWERS, can and will re-
,eive better prices for their Staple |
Cottons, provided they gin same on the
Duplex Roller Gins.
That and that only is the reason for
,ur investment Of $4,000 in the City
# Greenwood. We simply ask your
interest and cooperation to prove be-
,ond doubt the truth of our claims.
