Our Service

Includes much more than the receiving and forward ing of goods consigned to our warehouses in Bir- mingham and Mobile.
 This service of ours en- braces negotiations of loans on goods, informa- tion as to market condi- tions, collecting and re- hitting for sales, and in fact virtually everything but the actual selling. On consignments of cotton it includes selling also when desired.
 With the installation,of the W o n d crit STAN DARD cotton compress at Mobile and Birmingham and the increase of storage capacity and the improve ment of facilities at our warehouses in both cities, we are prepared to give our customers more ef- ficient service than ever before.
 If you intend to sell on a large scale in Alabama, write us for concrete in- formation as to how we have helped other manu- facturers and distributors.
