Total average gross value OF cot

Now the average oil mill can work
cottonseed for 81 per ton. Now give
them So per ton as a legitimate profit,
making total Of SO per ton, for work
Ing the cottonseed, leaves a value OF
s2236 per ton as an average price
that the producer should have receiv-
ed for his cottonseed. when he actual
ly did receive $3.50 per ton. showing
leakage Of 1886 per ton OF cotton
seed, or s3.43 per bale OF cotton.
In fairness to the oil mills, want
to state that cottonseed has cost them
an average Of at least s1S per ton, but
this $3.50 per ton was spent in gin
ners' commissions. seed buyers sal
aries, hauling, loading, freight, etc,
or the expense Of acquiring the seed
from the middle men,"
Now propose to bring the producer
and the consumer together, and the
following plan does II:
have perfected and patented a sys-
TEN OF handling cotton and its pro
ducts at the gin whereby I gin and
compress the spinable cotton, dellnt
the seed and bale the lInters. extract
the oil from the cottonseed and de-
liver the cake Tor neal and bulls.
Thus delivering to the producer every
merchantable product OF his cotton,
ready for the consumer.
II will be my purpose TO buy from
the producer such of his products as
he desires to sell and II is reasonable
to suppose that he will want to sell
his cotton, his linters and his oil, and
II he has any surplus OF meal and
bulls ! will buy them. II is not COM
pulsory. however, that he sell his pro-
ducts at the gin. as a market will be
maintained there as a convenience for
the producer, the cotton and its pro-
ducts are the property OF the producer.
and he is at liberty to sell them to
whom he chooses at whatever price
he may elect to take. propose to
operate the plants where cotton and
its products are prepared for market
on a toll basls-that is, charge for the
ginning as the gins now do, and
charge toll for crushing the seed,
and my machinery investment to ac-
complish this will not exceed 30 per
cent OF the investment now required
to do the same work under the old
plan and the labor cost is proportions
ately reduced, so II is evident that I
can do the work at its present cost
and make enormous 600 per cent?
dividends for those who build the
plants. and enable the producers to
get full value for HIS products.
want to build the first plant OF
this kind in Bryan and as many more
throughout Texas as can finance oil
as the producers will subscribe stock
to build. invite investigation OF the
machinery system and the practica
bility of the plan. Our first plant will
be incorporated at 100000, located
where my gin now stands. and there
are 1,400 shares of the capital stock
to be disposed Of at $25 per share PAL
value. We want every cotton producer
within ten miles of Bryan to take from
one to twenty shares and get the value
Of your cotton and cottonseed and gel
an investment that will pay hand
somely. Our stock subscription list
is open and the shares are going fast
II you want the investment and want
to help change the method OF market
ing cotton, come in and subscribe fol
stock. Respectfully.
