It is very genqffiflly conceded thai j
if the. A^ociatioiiPrfad not been plan- i]
ned and partially organized that cot- ;
ton would today be selling for around ;]
20 cents. The bears were in complete!
control of the nfarOf last spring when '
the farmers first began to talk of or- (1
ganization. They had planned to dc-:(
press the price of cotton to 20 cents '
this fall. Immediately after the 's
farmers began to plan this organiza- i
tion, cotton began *to advance.
The Association has alreadv sue- !
; 1
eeded in raising ov?j? $3,000,000 for '
:he erection of cotton warehouses over j.
the cotton belt. This amount will j ^
probably be ddubled ^ithin the next j
few weeks. . lV| i {
Organizations for* buying "distress g

The Association has 3kept a close j

of the cotton producer.
When permanent organization has

The cotton producer can then name
he price for his product just as the f

You've heard about the carpenter who bought 1
cheap_ saw-after saw because he broke so many; I
* he couldn't afford to buy a good one? There are ? I
a lot of people who buy shoes that way. Buying I
our Walk-Over Shoes is no extravagance, butj I
very real economy. The many shapes fit you to a I 1
T. They fit you with coming, not going, style J 1
And Walk-Over Quality holds the customers 1
Walk-Over Style makes. These shoes have never 1
been cheapened to sell at a price. ?
