Cotton Is Advancing
We ask that our farmer friends remember us when selling
their cotton. Deposit your cotton checks with us, take a
check book and pay your bills by check on us. This is safer
than handling the cash, and it gives you a complete record
of how and where your money goes.
Do not keep your money at home or in your pocket, where
it may be lost, stolen, mislaid or burned. None of these
accidents may have ever happened to you, but they have to
others, and you may be the next.
No matter what bank or what town your cotton check
may be drawn on, we will cash it, or place it to your
credit, at face value.

You know talk is as cheap as it ever was. Advertising has made it cost more, but
not worth more. Carpenter’s Clothing talk may have been equalled many times, but
not the Clothing talked of.
So we say, test the Clothing, not the talk; and we’re always glad of comparison for in no pther way can superiority assert itself
than by contrast.
