Ten Reasons Wliy Every Planter SliOuld. Use It.
IST. They wenp the first to allow the Planter the option of 15 rents for Cotton. 2d. They were the 6rst not to exact of the Planter freight in advance. 3J They were the first to establish their price at 467 pounds Cotton per ton, when other manufacturers wer«
asking 560 pounds and 670 p< finds. 4th. 'l’liey held themselves per'ectly aloof froTn all combination or pook in fixing price for the season on Fertiliser®. sth. Tliev have tilwtw sold n Standard Fertilizer for the least monev possible. 6’h. Their Fertliz r
has always givtn as genera! satisfaction ns others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 71h. They have been manufacturing Fertilisers and selling In Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their business, and ion great a reputation, to make a
Spurious article. Bth They sell more titan any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertiliser has been more thoroughly tes-ed bv liv State Agriciiltnr.il I) 'pirtm-nt, and shows better remits. 9'h. In 1865 they manufactured an I sold only 754 ton ;
in 1878 they manufactured and sold 36 284 tons, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertiliser. 10th. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do not sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it is to thesr interest to
tnuintuin the high character of their Fertilizer.

Ten Good Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD 1
Ist. It i« made of the bent selected Indiana timber, tiie same being cut at the proper
season of tlie year, piled tinder sheds, properly dated., und ullowedjto retnaiti there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machiu
pry, and put together bv the best Wagon Mechanics in the world.
31 Our Patent Bevel Edged P ejecting Tire save* the paint on the felloe, and con
seqoently saves the felloe I'rom wearing:, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road,
4«h. The Thiipble-Skeins are made of select iron and weigh from 4to 25 pound*
per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break.
sth. I’t e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which take? exact pattern of the
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be tilted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon
6th. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, henc* thsy
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefally
examined bv person* purchasing ,
7th The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and light tit, preventing the box from ever working loose, or allowing oil or wuter to soalt
in between the box and the bub, as is the case in most makes of wagon* where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest award of m«rit und the Grand Modal at the Centennial Ex
position for excellence ol material and superior workmanship in competition with the world,
9th. The Studebaker Brothers arc practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally the case iu large factories,
hence the superiority of their work over all others.
10th. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Teum
sjers will tell you so 1 Dealers who have sold them will tell you so !
Mercantile success has demons)fated that more money has been made bv handling
Good Goods at High Prices, than by handling Inferior Goods at Low t Price\ . For sale by
