Cotton Incorporated, the leading information and services resource to America’s cotton producers and importers, has engaged 3 Texas regional malls to be a part of their national Back to School promotion of the “Cotton Natural� brand message.

The Mall of Abilene, Killeen Mall and Central Mall in Texarkana were selected as part of a nationwide media blitz by Cotton Incorporated to deliver the Cotton Natural message to consumers in all 50 states during the Back-to-School season. The 3 Texas regional centers represent the best of Main Street America – a key audience to Cotton Incorporated in communicating their commitment to environmental improvement.
