t jH ■ .. t/uy cawed Aim/ Christopher Columbus, like many anothe pioneer before and after him, had a hard time convincing people that he knew what he was talking about. He was more progressive than his fellows. His ideas were way ahead of his time. He suffered the consequences... until he proved that he was right. Smith- Douglass has a fellow feeling for pioneers . who have dared to be different. ■ FIRST TO MAKE TOBACCO PLANT BED FERTILIZER I You may recall that Smith-Douglass was the i first to make a fertilizer especially for Tobac co Plant Beds. Prior to that time, any tobac co fertilizer was “good enough” for plant beds. Smith-Douglass didn’t think so. They j made one that was better. Farmers and com- j petitors were skeptical. But you know the story. Fertilizer manufacturers have been , 'trying ever since to make a fertilizer like S-D j “Blue Ribbon Guano” for tobacco plant beds. i * FAMOUS S-D “ORANGE” WAS DIFFERENT, TOO Remember when Smith-Douglass first Intro duced “Orange” Tobacco Fertilizer?

Today competitors are frankly jealous of the reputation that this and other Smith-Douglass Fertilizers have attained. Smith-Douglass firmly believes that you can never manufacture a better fertilizer if you are content to make your goods “just like” or merely “just as good as” the other fellow’s. “Just as good” isn’t good enough for Smith- Douglass. We have always pioneered in our fertilizer formulas. Results have justified our judgment. S-D Tobacco Fertilizers have con sistently given the tobacco farmer more pounds of tobacco and more dollars for his crop. We are convinced that tobacco farmers want that kind of fertilizer. We feel that we 1 would be lacking in our duty to our customers unless we continue to pioneer in making that kind of fertilizer for them. Yes, Smith- ( • Douglass Fertilizers are “Different.” They - could never have attained their reputation otherwise. PAGE SEVEN
