A Pioneer Fertilizer Concern and its Methods.
The Navassa Guano Company of
Wilmington is the pioneer in the
manufacturing of fertilizers in the
South. Chartered under the laws
of North Carolina in 1869, it is one
of the first corporations, that entered
upon the "work that has resulted in
the great industrial and financial
development of the South and in this
great advancement this company has
at all times been an efficient and
helpful factor. With the South it
has grown, and with the people of
the South it has endured and ren
dered assistance and in the prosperity
of the South it has freely shared.
Before the sources of fertilizer
were known to exist in the United
States in the forms of phosphate
rock, animal products from the
slaughter Jhouses, , cottonseed meal
from the cotton fields and many
other beneficial materials now in
common use, the Navassa Guano Co.
made its fertilizers of phosphate rock
.from the islands of the sea, nitrates
from the west coast of South Ameri
ca and the Menhadden fish from our
own shores, and was the first after
our devastating Ciyil War to devote
itself to the task of supplying to our
impoverished Southland the best arti
ficial plant foods and to enable the
Southern planter to increase his
yields and render less arduous his
tasks and more profitable his labors,
resulting in his ability to discharge
the heavy burdens upon the lands
that his had inhwited and in: placing
hope and happiness within his reach
In the conversion of deleterious
and waste products in available plan
food, in the most approved and effi
cient means of manufacture, in al
that pertains to producing the bes
fertilizers suited for tne various
crops this company has always kep
well in the front. This is evidenced
by its continued increasing business
that louder than mere words pro
claims the proved value of its pro
ducts .and the liberal policy that has
ever marked its, dealings with its
customers and the public.
This company has throughout its
history been owned and manage'd by
Southern men thoroughly acquainted
with the needs and demands of the
South. A liberal and progressive
policy has been and will continue to
be pursued, ever keeping - abreast
with all improvements and ever be
ing in position to serve its customers
the best.
Its business extends from Virginia
to the Gulf, and from its large fac
tories in Wilmington, N. C, and in
Selma, N. C, it has every facility to
receive, manufacture, and j mos
promptly deliver its products by al
railway lines, as well as by water
throughout the large territory where
dwell its many customers.
The Navassa Guano Co. of Wil
mington is not only the pioneer fer
tilizer manufacturer in the South
but has proved itself to be one of the
most beneficial and successful cor
prorations chartered in our State.
