BRYANT CANDY FACTORY
GROWTH REMARKABLE

A striking evidence OF Amarillo's
remarkable progress as manufact-
uring and distributing point. II fur
nished by the wonderful growth OF
candy factory OF the j. +. Bryant
Company.
Beginning IN a small way three
years ago, the Bryant candy plant
occupied a floor space OF 30 feet by
90 feet. In this small space founda-
ton was made for one OF the fast
est growing and most successful fac
tories In Texas
The candy department now occu-
pies total floor space OF l.S20
square feet, and within the next
year or so. additional facilities will
be- required. The factory has added
from time to time the most modern
and expensive candy-baking machin-
cry until II Is now as well equipped
as any similar plant In the south
west. a sixty-horsepower boiler has
recently been installed. which fur
nishes steam for cooking the candy.
The chocolate making machinery Is
OF the approved type
During recent visit 90 the plant,
a News representative was advised
By president j. + Bryant that the
candy business OF the company had
increased during the past year at "A
rate of from 80 TO ~ per cent each
month over the month Immediately
preceding.
There can be- but two reasons for
such progress. quality. clean busi-
ness methods and iudicious adyertls-
ing. The name 'Bryant's' on a
package has grown to be a synonym
for excellence and purity OF product,
and SO strong has the demand for
Bryant-made goods become that the
product goes 10 every section OF the
! Panhandle and New Mexico, with
heavy sales In III paso, Dallas. Fort
Worth. Albuquerque. Oklahoma city
and Denver.
The candies range from staples

tory is In charge OF an expert fore

best factories In Chicago. In this
department from 40 TO 80 people
are employed The years business

dent Bryant In response to request

OWEN FAVORS GUARANTY
FOR NATIONAL BANKS

Senator Owen, chairman Of the SEN
atorial committee on banking, favors
a federal law providing for the guar
anty of deposits in national banks.
His plan is similar to the Oklahoma
plan of guaranty Of deposits in state
banks. He would not have the gov
ernment guarantee depositors, but
would provide a fund created by as
sessment from which the depositors in
failed banks would be paid. The full
plan has not been made public, but 1t
will likely be soon completed, and a
bill introduced in the senate. Reduc-

market price IN cash and their due
bills for the balance. They agreed to
hold cotton in their warehouses to
cover amount of said due bills, but
when the cotton is shipped off and
placed in warehouses, how is the pro-
ducer to know how much or how little
is being held.
Mr.. Farmer, just step over to the
bank and borrow $500 and tell the
banker you will secure for $500 and
you want the other 500 without Sc
curity, and see IL you get it. Now that
is precisely what this corporation IS
asking of you-they propose to pay
you three-fourths the market value in
cash and the remainder in their due
bills.
1t does ecm unnecessary to COM
ment on these things, but so many
farmers are ready to be took in that
feel 1t duty to warn them of the
danger that threatens them. The
promise of 15c per pound for our cot
ton is alluring; is tempting to us, but
Net us be careful and give no one the
advantage in this kind OF way
There is another proposition they will
place before you in the near future
hnd we will take it up in another ar
ticle soon.
Read and digest this. and II you
will call on or write me / will furnish
you with sample of those contracts
that you may see for yourself just
what they are.
This same corporation in 1912 sold
this writer, together with Others
stock in the corporation and put ua
to listing cotton, promising us &c per
bale as a compensation for our troub-
lie. AS to my pay for what | did for
them, have never received a cent
yet, and am told by others who were
,also listing cotton that they have not
Sbeen paid, and conclude that if they
fail to pay one contract that 1t is
doubtful about their paying another

paid for stock refunded, for which

months patiently trying TO get 1t re-
funded, threatened the concern with
suit in the federal courts and also
to prosecute them under the criminal
laws. l gave them four days only,
then they waltzed over with check

corporation-a thing that we certainly
would not have done had we known
the truth about the bond. The fact
Is they were beginning to operate
here without even a permit
At that time they proposed to con
tract with the farmer to sell his cot
ton for l5c per pound by simple
twist of the wrist, and presto
change" Now they are cotton buy
ers. Like the cotton exchanges. thev
enter the ring to deal in futures.
Their contracts call for the delivery
of cotton between the first day Of
August and Dec. 81, 1913. The main
difference between the contracts used
by the exchanges and the S, S. C. c.
are these In the dealings on the ex-
change, the buyer pays the seller d
cash consideration; the Southern
states Cotton Corporation demands
that the seller pays the buyer the cash
consideration. The exchange con
tracts only specify "In consideration
Of one dollar, in hand paid, the re-
ceipt of which is hereby acknowiede
ed. have this day sold to John
Smith, $4,000 lbs. in about 100 square
bales Of cotton" while the s. S. C. z.
says "One dollar for each bale of cot
ton herein contracted for" and again.
In payment for the said cotton, IL is
hereby agreed that the corporation
may issue to the said seller its cot
ton script" The script they mention
is only due bill promising to pay for
cotton. Just how much this due bill
is worth, you can find out at the
cashiers window at any bank in Du-
rant
Once the farmer signs his contract
he is not only morally bound to fur
nish the number of bales he has
agreed, but these contracts are bind
ing, because cash consideration has
passed from one on the contracting
parties to the other. This contract re-
minds us OF the fable of the spider and
the fly; now he is caught, and that,
too, as he will find out, by Tartar"
"Shylock" will now step forth and de-
mand his pound of flesh. Mr.. Farmer
now realizes that he is at the mercy
of the corporation, but hold on-there
is another clause in the contract which
will bring the farmer about as much
joy as the thorn in the rose. 1t reads
thus: AT the option Of the seller the
said corporation agrees to pay for the
said cotton as delivered seventy-five
percentum Of the market value of said
cotton in cash on day of delivery; said
cash payment limited, however, to lie
per pound and the difference between
cash payment and the Is cents per
pound shall be paid in the above de-

serves the right to renew said script

The writer hereof was placed on n
committee by the Bryan County
Farmers Union last June to look up
the cotton marketing systems now in
vogue, and report to the union the
