Cotton Money Advanced

AT the last directors meeting of
the Arkansas Cotton Growers CO.
operative ASSOCIATION it was decided
to make an advancement of $50 90
bale on all cotton shipped or sent
direct to the compress consigned to
the Association. THIS amount Is to
be paid immediately upon receipt of
bill Of lading or compress receipt
with draft attached, THIS amount
of Advancement is based upon short
cotton and as soon as the cotton ar
rives and Is sampled aud graded if
the sample and grade justities a
further advancement the Assooiation
will notify the owner Of the cotton
and mortgage, in case 1t Is mort
gagged, of the additional allowance
allowed; to illustrate, # after the
cotton is sampled and graded it
shows 1t Is worth $4,000 bale,
YOU will be entitled to not exceed
SO per cent of that value, or 900, 90
per bale less the $4,000 already ad-
vanoed, that is on that basis you
would be entitled TO an additional
$4,000, The War Finance Corpor.
alton will not allow US to advance
exceeding go per cent of the value
of the cotton. You will understand
that this $50 90 advance on each
bale is subject to change as 1t may
be raised or lowered depending on
the price of cotton from time to
time.
We want it clearly understood
that the Advancement on al. cotton,
as we'll as all other matters pertain
ing to the Association, will be
handled and transacted strictly on a
business basis as all other business
concerns are handled and ] am sure
you will heartily agree that this is
the only way through which this or
any other business organization can
succeed, IN fact, the business world
is and has been watching every
movement OF the Association and
while we do not care to be put in
the light of boasting, yet we have
not heard of any criticism or com
plain; made by any bank or the War
Finance Corporation as to our meth q.
DDS of conducting It's affairs aud
with the hralus aud business abihtY
of the different 6uaDclal institutions
with whom we have arranged TO
borrow money (SlS, 500, 0O0) we feel
there Is not a member in this AS
soclatlon but knows full we'll that If
! the Association was not perfectly
solvent, safeguarded and being con-
Quoted on a sound business basis we
would not have been able TO receive
the financial backing acc orded us.
Now if the big financial interests
endorse our business methods by
lending us money is there any good
reason why our members should not
approve of our business methods
and give the Association their hearty
cooperation? THIS / am sure they
will do. l.. N Rutherford,
