Ten Reasons Why Elvery Planter Should XJ*e Xt.
18T. They »«• the firs* 1«o ttllow tV Planter the option of 15 cent* for Cotton. 3d. The? were the first not to exact of the Planter freight in advance. 3J They were the flint to establish their price at 467 pounds Cotton per ton. when other n*air»fite**r*r* were
asking 560 pounds and S7O pounds. 4th. Thev heW themselves perfectly sloof from -*ll combination or pools, in fiximr F ice for ,he af,on Fertilizer*. Sth. Thev have alw. vs sold a Standard Fertilizer for th» least nvmev poMiWe. 6'h. Their F«tH>*r
has always Riven as generel satisfaction as others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th. They have been manufacturing Fertilizers and selltog in Georgia since 1865. and have too ranch capital in tbeir bonnes*, and 100 great are on tat ton. to make a
•purioas article. Bth Thev se'l more than any other manuffreturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tested by the State Agricultural Department. and shows better results. 9 h. In 1865 they manufactured ami sold only 754 tonv;
In 1878 they manufactured und'sold 35 284 tons, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10tb. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do not sell to jobber* or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, benoe it i* to tbeir ioterett to
maintain the high character of tbeir Fertilizer.

cleverest people in the world, who seem to
take speciul delight in contributing to the
p’ensure and comfort of strangers. We con
sidered ourself pxtremely fortunate in receiv
ing an invitation to dine from one of Butts

to say that we accepted withon* demur—
needless to say, also, that we were enter

“The Pari* Exposition
Has been a source of wonder to many, and of
profit to some,” among the latter being the
manufacturers of Boss’ Patent Stiffened
Gold Watch Cases, who received a medal.
These Cases are made of two plates of
solid gold overlaying a plate of composition
metal in such a manner as to present only a
gold surfice. They retain all the beauty,
strength and solidify of the genmne article,
and while costing but half the money, are
guaranteed by sjiPciHl certificate to wear 20
years. When visiting your jeweler ask to
see them. It won’t cost anything, and you

Ten GrOOd. Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD I
Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowedjto remain there from 3 to
5 year*.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest improved machine
ery, and put together bv the boat Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d Oar Patent Bevel Kdged Projecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from weuring, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road.
4th. The Thimble-Skeins are made of select iron, and weigh from 4 to 25 pounds
per set more than any others mad*, and therefore do not break.
sth. Ti e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes »x»ct pattern of tha
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfeat
running wagon.
6th. It is the only wagon in which tha Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, henc# thvy
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefully
examined by persons purchasing.
7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit oa an irsD
lathe, and are then pressed into thp hub bv hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and tight fit, preventing the box from ev«-r working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak
in between the box and the bub, as is the case in most makes of wagons where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest award of merit Bnd the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position for excellence of material and superior workmanship in competition with tha world.
9th. The Studebaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally tho case in large factoriea,
hence the sufierierity of their work over all others.
10th. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so! Dealers who have sold them will tell you ao !
