Indeed one merchant informed us
that he had driven out Sunday after-
noon and said he could not miss the
cotton that had been picked todate.
He said the fields were truly white
unto the harvest.
These great bargain events are be- -
ing extended into and including this
week in almost all cases, so the pur-
chaser in the Brownfield territory is
assured of another banquet of bar-
gains this week.
Don’t forget that Brownfield is
not only a good place to sell cotton
and other farm products, but is also
the best place on the South Plains to
do your trading. ,

have heard anything about have beer,

cotton this year and let the bollies
