the new and financially powerful COM

the cotton manufacturers of the South
have long held were rather hard task
masters.
The manufacturers agree that IL the

to do to large extent. In making
mills less dependent upon the commits
sion houses it Will render very great
service to the entire Southern textile
industry.

agents. frequently making large adj
vances on the goods sent to them for
sale and receiving interest at Il heavy
rate on those advances. and then large
commi ssions on the sales OF the tex
tiles.
The manufacturers have long con-
tended that wherever possible they
should be entirely free from financial
obligations to their tselling agents.
The financing ot business, they say. is
strictly banking proposition. and
they have no doubt the organization OF
this new concern Will be heartily wei
coined by the entire textile industry
