Here’s the way we look at it. The average hand cotton picker works for only tWo or three months of the year, toiling in the field for very small wages. They are just in a hell of a fix, anyway. To our mind, it’s just like dragging a man out of a mud hole.” $55.00 Worth of Goods FREE!!! Men—women to supply colored peo ple with the famous 12 SISTERS’ products.
