Smith-Douglass To
Op Another Plant
At Wilmington, N. C.
Addition Will Help to
Take Care of Increas
ing Demand
Wilmington, N. C. has been chosen
as the site of the newest Smith-Doug
lass Fertilizer Plant, according to an
announcement recently made by
Ralph Douglass, vice-president of the
company. The new plant, which is
located at Navassa, across the river
from Wilmington will be in produc
«on for the 1940-47 fertilizer season,
ail road trackage to the plant has
recently been completed. It is plan
ned to Complete installation of all
necessary machinery during the com
ing summer months. This will put
Smith-Douglass in a very much better
position to serve the increasing de
mand for its goods from prosperous
eastern North Carolina, Mr. Douglass
said. Smith-Douglass already has
plants at Norfolk and Danville, Vir
ginia and at Kinston, North Carolina,
to service Carolina and Virginia far
mers.
Many orders from the Middle West
and the increasing use of commercial
fertilizers in that section prompted
the Smith-Douglass Company to open
a plant at Streator, Illinois late last
year. Planned first as a dry mixing
plant only, it was later decided to
add an acidulating unit for the com
plete production of S-D brands. The
Streator plant, which is tinder the
management of William B. Copeland,
has been in production for only a few
months. Already orders have been
received that will keep it running to
capacity for the remainder of its
first season.
The Smith-Douglass plant at Nav
assa will add materially to an indus
try that has long been famous at that
location. Plans are maturing for
Smith-Douglass to manufacture its
well known brands such as "Orange”
and "Old Glory” tobacco fertilizers,
“Square Deal” and'"Money Maker”
general crop fertilizers, as well as
many other Smith-Douglass brands
at the new Navassa Plant.
Leary Bros. Storage Company have
been agents for the Smith-Douglass
Fertilizers in Chowan County for 13
years.

★ Leadership has its rewards. But it has its obligations and its
responsibilities too. Whether you are a Captain leading your men or
a fertilizer manufacturer in the first rank of your industry, you will not
keep your position for long unless you are ready and willing to assume
the obligations that your position entails.
No one is more conscious of these facts than Smith-Douglass.
In the making of tobacco fertilizers, Smith-Douglass has attained a
reputation and position second to none. That reputation and that posi
tion were NOT attained by making fertilizers “just like” or merely
“just as good as” the other fellow, but by making fertilizers that were
BETTER. You’ll never make anything BETTER if you make it just
as everyone else does.
★ Smith-Douglass fertilizers are DIFFERENT. They always have
been DIFFERENT.
And we expect to keep on making them DIFFERENT.
•
★ Smith-Douglass has blazed a trail in the making of tobacco fertilizers
that produce more pounds to the acre and mean more dollars when
the crop is sold.
★ We are convinced that tobacco farmers want that kind of fertilizer
1 ' for their tobacco crops. We feel that is one of the obligations of. 1
, BJLb_B leadership to continue making that kind of tobacco fertilizer for you.

★ Yes, Smith-Douglass fertilizers are DIFFERENT. They could
never have attained their reputation in any other way.
