It's not uncommon to hear gunners or farmers to refer to the warehouse as the compress and many compresses still have compress in their name. This particular compress is out of business and the entire property in disrepair. So the next time you're driving around in cotton country and see a bunch of warehouses near train tracks you may find yourself a old sleepy Webb bale press.

Well I always wondered why they called them a cotton "compress". I just assumed they called them that because they stored compressed cotton. Everybody here still refers to them that way. Thanks for sharing the info. Really interesting. |
A what is it picture. I know what it is but do you?
