Cully A. Cobb: Ruralist Press Papers

The Cully A. Cobb/Ruralist Press papers consist of correspondence, reports, and other documents concerning the career and family of Cully A. Cobb (1884-1975), a 1908 graduate of Mississippi A&M College. The majority of the files were accumulated in the Atlanta, Georgia, offices of the Ruralist Press, which Cobb owned and directed from 1937 to 1971, but many papers concern Cobb's activities prior to his acquisition of the Press, such as his direction of the Cotton Division of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (1933-1937). Among the many subjects are agriculture, Mississippi State University, the Southern Baptist Church, the Coca-Cola Company, 4-H Clubs, the printing industry, and the Ruralist Press. Correspondents include several United States Congressmen and other government officials. The collection is related closely to the Cully A. Cobb papers and the Lois P. Dowdle “Mrs. Cully” Cobb papers. All three collections overlap in subject matter and in chronological period.
