Ten Reasons wny Every Planter snould Use It.
IST. They were the first to allow the Planter the option of IS cents 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, whan other minnfactHrers were
asking 560 pounds and 67ft pounds. 4th. They held themselves perfectly aloof from all combination or pools, in fixine price for tbe aeanon on Fertilizers. sth. Thev have alwivs sold a Standard Fertilizer for the least monev possible. 6<h. Their Fertlizer
has always given as general satisfaction as others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th. They have been manufacturing fertilizers and selling in Georgin since 1865, and have too much capital in their business, and too great o reputation, to make a
spurious article. Bth They se'l more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tested by the State Agricultural Department, and shows better reanlts. 9'h. In 1865 they manufactured and sold only 754 tons;
in 1878 they manufactured and Bold 35.284 tons, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold ou their own account, and do not sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it ie to their interest to
maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.

Ten Good. Reasons
v
WHY THE ° V JS
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
•
Ist. It is made of the hest selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly duted, and allowedjto remain there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest Improved machio*
ery, und put together by the best Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d. Onr Patent Bevel Edged P ojecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, 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 poauda
per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break.
sth. Ti e Skeins are set by a patent skoin setter, which take? txset pattern of tha
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6th. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoalder Spoke is used, hence thay
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and ahenld be carefallj
examined by persons purchasing.
7th. The linbs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit oa an Iran
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and tight fit, preventing the box from ever working looss, or allowing oil ar water to soak
in between the box ur.d the bub, as is tbe case in most makes of wagoua wbtre the boxiuf
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest award of merit and the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position for excellence of material and sufierior workmanship in competition with tbs world.
9th. The Stndebukcr Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to tbe foreman, as is generally the case in large factories,
hence the superiority of their work over nil others.
10th. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tel! yon so! Dealers who have sold them will tell you so 1
