THURSDAY, AUGUST 1*29. THIS BARNWELL PEOPLE •SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOOTH CAROLINA COTTON COTTON TEST THESE FACTS. 1. How many people can grade cotton? There are 26 different grades, and the money differei.ce between them is great. How many 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 cotton, 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 “Highest Bid” of a locpl buyer iu a small market. Let me show you results. CHAS. G. HOUSTON COTTON FACTOR : AUGUSTA, GA. Harper Ellis, of Lyndhurst, has ac- their mother, Mrs. J. C.
