Dear Mr. Robersou: "Penny wise and pound foolish" is an old saying, and it's true. Right now a farmer may save 25c to 50c an acre on his fertilizer purchase and think he 1s wise; but If by so doing he reduces his yield $5.00 to $10.00 per acre, next Fall he may change his mind. There are bargain counters everywhere loaded with merchandise that nobody wants but the shopper who is look ing for price and usually getting what he pays for, and no more. Satisfaction in quality and value when you buy bargain counter merchandise is the exception rather than the rule. Every ton of Royster's we can supply this season will be Sterling Quality?one quality only. We don't offer the farmer a cheaper grade to meet a cheaper price. > You can do your customers no greater favor than to re mind them that? THEY GET EXACTLY WHAT THEY PAY FOR ? Very truly yours, F. S.
