These stockholders believe that n

crowded with business all the time

constant increase.
Considering the pay roll, of the

Nineteen twenty will be tho greatest year of the great South.
With the American Cotton delation's plans fairly umli r way,
there will be such a wave of 1 u’iness, of prosperity, as has never even
been dreamed of for the Southern farmer, the merchant, tho banker.
The day of cotton is at hand. No longer will the cotton farmer
feed himselt out of tho supply man's tin can and pork barrel, uutil
at the end of the year lie owes Ins whole crop.
Instead, according to the American Cotton Association s plans, he
will grow better cotton on les* acreage, and on the rest of his farm
he will raise his own fruit, his own vegetables, his own meat. Then,
when his cotton is picked and baled he will store it in the system of
warehouses advocated Lj the American < ottou Association and sell
it at a fair price.
This bank stands for that kind of farming—because that kind of
farmers will have money to put into the bank at the end of the year.
The Country Gentleman also advocates Cotton Plus Fruit Plus
Truck, and that is the title of an article in tho issue dated February
28—one of a great series about tho American Cotton Association and
the new freedom of the South which is coming through it. (The
Country Gentleman may be bought on any newsstand for ;> cents a
copy; or by mail for $1 a year—52 big issues. Address The Country
Gentleman. I’hiladelhpia, Penna.)
The Southern farmer who grows cotton and food and feed Is the
farmer who will have a bank account this year!
