An ANNOUNCEMENT
by yOUT Fertilizer Dealer

in a Series appearing in this newspaper
My purpose in being here in business is
to supply at a fair price what you need
to make successful crops.
This year I am in better position than ever be
fore to help you. I have contracted for my
supply of Chilean Nitrate at the lowest price
in years. I can pass this saving on to you. I
recommend Chilean Nitrate..,the nitrogen the
South relies on for real money-making crops.
CHILEAN Nitrate is the natural nitrate
fertilizer. For more than 100 years it has
been used to improve American crops. A little
under the crop is important but a liberal top
or side dressing is your insurance of profitable
results. There is just one thing to think of
when you buy your nitrate. Say CHILEAN to
your dealer. That one word is your protection
and his too. Insist on Chilean and you get the
one best nitrogen for your crops. Remember
the two kinds—Original Chilean (Crystalline)
and Champion Brand (Granulated) both
natural nitrate.

One of the fine things about driving the new Ford is the
way it takes you over the miles without strain or fatigue.
No matter how long the trip, you know it will bring you
eafely, quickly, comfortably to the joumey^s end.
The seats are generously wide, deeply cushioned and
carefully designed to conform to the curves of the body.
Every new Ford has specially designed springs and four
Houdaille doublc'^icting hydraulic shock absorbers.
These work both ways — up and down. They absorb the
fotce of road shocks and also provide a cushion against
the rebound of the springs.
Other features that make the new Ford a value far
above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass wind
shield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, more
than twenty ball and roller bearings, extensive use of
fine steel forgings, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon
alloy valves, torque-tube drive. Rustless Steel and
unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
In addition, you save many dollars because of the
low first cost of the new Ford, low cost of operation and
up-keep, and low yearly depreciation.,
