Cotton broker with offices in New York and New Orleans.

"The election of Mr. W. H. Armstrong of Tupelo, Miss., to the New York Cotton Exchange is only another indication of a tendency which has been marked of late, that of leading cotton men throughout the country associating themselves with the representative exchange in this city. Mr. Armstrong is well known in his city where he possesses considerable influence. Not alone is he closely in touch with the sentiment in the business world of that portion of the state, but he has shown a spirit of progressiveness in wishing to do all within his power to advance the common good. Such enterprising men as he are to be credited with much of the industrial progress the South has made. Mr. Armstrong’s membership in the exchange will materially increase his abilities for doing business and enable him to keep more correctly informed as to the market.—New York Financial Review.
Mr. Armstrong is one of our best business men and his firm has a large and valuable clientele in the country tributary to this city. "
