Attention!

Do not let your baled cotton ruin out in

living price, you can save money by
storing it in my weather proof ware
houses. These are equipped with a
modern fire sprinkler system, which
gives me very low insurance rate.
Will make liberal advances on cotton
thus stored at a reasonable interest
