Buy Cottons Now
COTTON prices are on the jump. They have been that way for the
last few months. Watch the daily papers and you will see reports
almost every day of advancing prices. With raw cotton at its highest
price for years, wages of operators higher by 10 to 20 per cent., and the
cost of production increased all along the line, prices are bound to go
higher. Today we cannot buy as cheap as we could three months ago.
When we have to go to the market again we will have to pay more, and
