. THE FARMER'S BEST FRIEND! ®]t| mms BWAHO GOMPAHTS soluble pacific suahoi Ten Reasons Wtiy Every Planter snould. Use It. IST. They were »lie first to allow the Planter the option of IS rents for Cotton. 2d. They were the first not to exact of the Planter freight in advance. 3d They were the first to establish their price at 467 pounds Cotton per ton, when other msnafsctnrers war* ashing 560 ponnds and 570 pounds. 4th. Thly held themselves perfectly aloof from sll combination or pools, in fixing price for 'be snaoon on Fertilizers. sth. They have alwiys sold a Standard Fertilizer for the least money possible. 6'h. Their Fertlizer has always given as general satisfaction as others, proving to bo a profitable investment to the Planter. 7tb. They have been masafaeturing Fertilizers and selling In Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their business, and too great a reputation, to mass a ■purioH* article. Bth. They se'l more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertiliser has been more thoroughly tes>od by the State Agricultural Department, and shows better results. 9’h. In 1865 they manufactured and sold only 754 ton«; in 1878 they manufactured and sold 35 284 tous, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do Dot sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it is to their interest to maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.
