» THURSDAY, AUGUST THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON COTTON TEST THESE FACTS. 9 ~ 1. How many people can *rade cotton? There are 26 different grades, and the money differei.ee between them is great. How mary people are in constant touch with the world’s largest cotton buyers and with a market that changes nearly every minute? You need a reliable and experienced man in Augusta (one of the world’s largest markets) to insure your cottor. bringirg the highest price. 2. Theold method of each person selling their own cottor., by get- ting,local buyers to make an offer, and then just taking the “Highest Bid” is recognized as bad business. For the simple reason, the “Highest Bid” may be many dollars under the market Value. 3. Good roads and public trucks enable you to send your cotton to me in a few hours. Immediate sale can be made, insuring you of the highest market price and prompt returns. Don’t give your cot ton away by simply accepting the “Highe§t Bid” of a local buyer in a small market. Let me show you results. , CHAS. G. HOUSTON , COTTON FACTOR : AUGUSTA, GA. MRS. CLAYTOR ENTERTAINS SMART SET BRIDGE CLUB.

T HE ability of a manufacturer to increaae the wages of oper* tives depends upon the ability of the mill to produce goods that will sell at a profit. Could the cotton manufacturer of South Carolina confine his efforts entirely to manufacture, perhaps his problems would be greatly simplified. Unfortunately, however, his problems are much more complicated. He is unavoidably faced with the necessity of producing economically and telling suc cessfully. Modern engineering, modern chemistry and modern machinery have so increased our productive Capacity that the supply of mer chandise now exceeds the demand. Production is comparatively easy 5 celling is the perplexing problem, and no manufacturing plant can continue to operate unless it can sell its goods at a profit. 8outh Carolina Cotton Manufacturers today are toiling between two opposing problems—the problem of selling their goods at a fair price and the problem of maintaining the wa^e of their workers in fhe face of very serious world-wide competition. They cannot fix the price of their goods, and the entire industry would suf- ~ * fer from the lowering of wages. ( The only solution lies in in creasing the productive,power of the individual worker! This they are attempting to do, not exclusively to serve a selfish end, but to enable themselves to protect the interests of their . operatives as well as of Hie State at large. . £hc- I pHI||llll1ll!lllllllllllllll!lllllllliSlllinillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHltllHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHII[g Mr*.
