LITTLE COTTON BALES, DOG FOOD
SHOW WAY FOR DELTA INDUSTRIES

Two thriving young Industries
which have sprung up in the Mis-
sissippi Delta within the past three
years are rapidly gaining national
and southwide attention through
their unique ideas and unusual
products.
One is the backyard Little
Bales OF Cotton" industry OF :. A
Willis in Leland. worlds largest
producer Of miniature cotton bales
which are finding their way into
the hands of souvenir hunters and
cotton promoters the world over.
The other is the National Pa, H.
ing Company at Greenville, whose
product KAN is literally going to
the dogs, who eat this popular
dog food at the rate OF about
$4,000 to 10000 cans per day.
sBoth Of these mushrooming
little industries are proving to
Delta people that good idea a
little ingenuity and lot of hard
work make good formula for
successful operation.
Three years ago the Delta
Council at Stoneville decided that
1t needed a miniature cotton bale
to promote its highly effective cot
ton bale tag Identification pro-
gram, which not only assured spin
ners the best cotton grown in the
land, that Of the Mississippi Delta,
but which also gave this section OF
Mississippi some very favorable
publicity.
The search finally ended al the
home of Mr.. Willis, an official at
the Leland Oil Works. who AGREED
to undertake the job OF trying to
perfect and produce the tiny bales.
The first year he turned out 500
of the little cotton bales at Ills
home. Last year he and 80 Leland
workers produced 100000 bales of
cotton in various sizes.
Today Little Bales of Cotton
has expanded into a sizeahle sd-
dition in his backyard and he and
his Leland helpers are making 81
various items from cotton, which
are being snapped up by buyers
all over the nation.
The cotton souvenirs include
five types Of miniature bale. nine
cotton dolls, corsages. fancy cotton
bolls, cotton mammies and a
clown.
Last year Willis furnished cot
ton souvenirs for the Southern
Governors Conference at Biloxi
and has since that time received
letters from all the governors who
attended and from many of their
wives.
He also supplies the cotton bales
for use by the National Cotton
Council In promoting the Industry
and supplies all such cotton needs
for the Cotton Carnival in Men,
phis each Spring.
About half his products are used
for advertising. for parties and
conventions, the other half being
sold as novelties and souvenirs. He
sold one New York party a $2,74O
order in q telephone conversation
and had to deliver them on the
following day. On another occasion
the Chamber of Commerce OF
Bakersfield, California, ordered
1000 bales for use in promoting
their Maid Of Cotton.
Housewives. secretaries. maids
and regularly employed men Of the
town pitch In during their spare
time either 1t home or at Willis
backyard plant and turn out the
novel cotton products.
Although It'll Just a home pro.
duced product Little Bales OF
Cotton, last year had a volume OF
about $4,000.
Aside from creating full time
and sideline employment for a
score or more of Leland citizens
Willis feels that his products are
