This shows the value of home mixing. This shows a very handsomer saving of $12,076.80 saved in buying coopera tively 6703 tons materials and mixed goods. When we started to place the orders for fertilizer we notified all the conv panies that we were ready to pay -cash for about 800 tons of fertilizer. In this wav the companies were compelled to bid against each other for this cash business, and it so happened that cash was- what the companies wanted last year. About-30 days prior -to this 1 had secured brokers prices on all materials and had, used these prices against other brokers and other com panies until I had worked the price down about 25 per cent before I asked for quotations from the fertilizer facr torics. Consequently when I asked tor quotations from the factories, they sent their representatives here and it so i .,j tUfft- ef the men came on the same day and were to see me at the same hour. Well, you just would have laughed to see those fellows when they saw that theywere there, man to man, to bid against one an other.

Thus Du Pont engineers have found a way to give you over more dynamite for your dollar. You won't get a "dynamite headache" from using Dumorite and it will not freeze. . Think this year, with Dumorite, you can clear over U more acres of stump land at the same cost you paid last year for' dynamite, or you can clear the same amount as in 1921 at a saving of approximately one fourth.
