Ten Reasons Wliy Every Planter StLOuXd.^Use Itr.
1-T. They were the first to «f!ow the Planter the option of 15 cent* tor Cotton. 2d They were the first not to exact of the Planter freight tn advance. 31 Tiiey were the fitst to <-**«hh»h their price at s<»o pounds Cotton per ton. when other pun ifaelm-prs wee*
asking 560 pounds and 570 pounds. 4tb. They held themselves perfectly aloof from nil combination or pools, in fixing price for the turn non on FertiliZ'' r s. sth. Thee have alw ivs »oid n Standard Fertilizer for ilv least nionev possible. A*h Their Ferlltzcr
bae always giv<n as general satisfaction nr others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th They have been manufacturing Fertilizers and selling in Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their tin iness, and too grout a reputation, to mntre a
spurious article. Bth. They se'l more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tesed bv the Slate Agricultural Department, and shows better results. 9h. In 1865 they manufactured *nd sold only 754 ton ;
in 1878 they manufactured and sold 35 284 tons, which speaks tor ibe growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. Tiiey have their Guano sold ott their own account, and do not sell to jobbers oj speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it it to their interest to
maiulato the high character of their F«rti|izer.

Ten Good. Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the prooer
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowed;to remain there front 3to
5 year*.
2d. Phe wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machin
ery, and pnt together by the boot Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d Our Patent Bevel Edged P ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
seqaently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a froa-n rut. or on a rockv road.
4th. Tbe Thimble-Skeins are made of select iron and weigh trom 4 to 25 pounds
(ter set more thao any others made, and therefore do not break.
stb, I’t e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes exact pattern of tbe
inside of the skein to which tbe axle is to be fitted, tberaoy making a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6'V It is the only wagon in which fhe Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, henev they
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carets fly
examined by persons purchasing
7*h The hubs are all borer! true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit oa an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
sod tirfht fit, preventing tbe box from ever working loose, or showing oil or water to soak
In betweeu tbe box ar.d the bub, as is the case in most makes ef wagons where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took tbe highest award of m»tft and tbe Grand Medal at tbe Centennial Ex
position for excellence of material and saperiof*workinan*hip in competit ion with tbe world
9th. The Htudebaker Brmlters are practical workmen, attend to their besinew per
socially, and do not intrust it tv tbe foreman, as is generally the ease in large factories,
hence tbe superiority of tbeir work over all others.
10th. Ft ie the Best wagon when New. and G9bd when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so! Dealer* who have sold them will tel! you so !
Mercantile success has demonstrated that more money has been made bv handling
Good Goods at High Price*, than by handling Inferior Good* at Low-Price*. For sale by
