am now staying at the Santa Rita,
Tucson. | am merely guided by my
own intelligence, my knowledge and
my vast experience in handling fin
ished goods made of Egyptian cotton
and some Pima cotton long staple.
My great experience and knowledge is
indisputable.
Many years ago in England vast
shipments of finished goods would
pass through my hands, conslgn-
ments f6r Australia, India, New Yea
land, South Africa, Canada, China and
many other places too numerous to
mention; all of these countries pre-
ferred Egyptian cotton, their first
preference. In all of these places
mentioned the writer resided to get
data. Can you realize for one mo-
ment, can your brain grasp the mag
nitude of this great cotton industry?
Can you realize the volume of bust
ness transacted and samples
counted by the glass-a gauge for
counting shots or number of threads
to the square inch-and linen like

And why not Pima cotton, the long
staple? Why not this wonderful out
let, especially now when the Egyp-
tan cotton is in the state of de-
terioration and the number of bales
has been reduced by many, many
thousand, something like 100000 bales

people you would have millions. The
writer can see the busy Lancashire
mills turning out great quantities of
Pima cotton, the long staple. / can
picture thousands of bales being
shipped by rail to all parts of the

ships to every cline. I can picture

wealth and greater happiness.
time for the few years l have to live
to the cause of Pima cotton long
staple. On every piece of finished
goods I would have a label printed
Made of Pima Long Staple. Have it
in every department store through
out this wonderful country. Have
| housewives demand it for their
sheets and cases, for> baby clothes,
for their husbands and sons shirts
and for their own personal use,sbe-
cause the Pima cotton long staple
has a beautiful silky finish, its color

no other brand can take its place,
not even the Egyptian. 1T is real
