able Ui em to secure for It the greut-
tut nnnMble returns nt tho least pos-
sible expense. .
Uudor the plan proposed Hie form-
er will put into his own pockot every
cent the cotton brlnn In the markets
of the world less the small commis-
sion charged for the service render-
ed. Under this method even a child
could murkot a crop of cotton and
receive thereror the highest market
price and It woutd bo delivered upon
the hi ghoul possible classification be-
cauae all the child would need to do
would be to turn ovor to the company
his cotton ttcVets or warehouse re-
ceipt! and the company salesman
would then- class sell and deliver
the cotton.
Tn short evorf bale of cotton mark-
etid through Hie company would be
cfassed sold and delivered by a thor
oughly competent cotton man thus
guaranteeing to tho customers of
tho company complete protection In
every pliant) of tho transaction.
Tho company will bo Incorporated
under the laws of Texas thus limit-
ing the liability of the stockholders
to the n mount or stock held tn the
company which in this cuho will be
( Hhui e of Die value of Ton dollars.
Wo are herewith publishing the
proponed by-laws of the company nnd
