Dublin is the best cotton market in this section of the country. Farmers are receiving from 25 to 35 points per pound above what is paid in the near-by towns. Cotton is being hauled here from points beyond our neighboring cities because it brings a higher price here. This is due to two important factors: Dublin is headquarters for several wideawake cotton factors who work for the interest of the man who digs to produce the crop: the local compress also has a great deal to do with top prices paid for cotton.
Mr. Farmer, load up your cotton and bring it to Dublin. We will treat you fair and give you bargains in every line of merchandise. Come and get acquainted with Dublin and her people. The visit here will do you a world of good.
