PLANTERS GIVEN SOUND ADVICE Mistake to Change Brands of Fertilizer Each Year—Stick to One Best Suited For Growing Need By J. G. McCORMICK Secretary and Treasurer Acme Man ufacturing Company Every year at this time, you are beset by a score of bidders for your fertilizer business. All sing more or less the same song, praising their own product. You don’t know which brand to buy. , Now it’s a mistake to change from brand to brand every season. When you find the fertilizer suited to vour need—one that brings the results you want, STICK TO IT. Never be influenced by any slight difference in price. What you are after is not hopes or promises, but CROPS. You want quantity and high grading, too. A fall-down in either quantity or quality will soon wipe out any small difference in fertilizer cost. There isn’t any need to guess about Acme. This company has been mak ing fertilizers for 42 yeprs. It is right here in North Carolina, at Wil mington, a home institution, owned and operated by North Carolinans, with a newiy-rebuilt factory equipped wi h the most modern machinery at Acme. N. C. You are invited to in spect this plant. The formulae are open to all. -You can see the in gredients. the best obtainable in the world, kept in perfect condition, and always properly manipulated. In dealing with the Acme Com pany, you are dealing directly with Mr. Gilchrist and myself. There is nobody “hig'her-up." If there’s ever anv trouble, you can get right to us. without addressing or talking to any body “in between." You are deal ing' with neighbors. You can find out all about Acme from your own local growers. Now, for goodness’ sake, if you have been using other fertilizers and ought to get better results, settle on Acme for this year; and if you are using Acme, don’t let anybody talk you into substituting something else unless he will back up his talk with a cash bond to cover any amount you I may lose through an inferior crop! I Old reliable Acme will always , ‘ come clean" with you. Remember that when anybody tries to shove a ' substitute on you. H. L. Boon, well-knowm tobacco a picwitei ui oiuKesuait*, in. wrote this last fall about Acme fertilizers: “I have. been raising tobacco for 25 years, using many different brands of fertilizer. Last year I used Acme fertilizers and had the best crop ] have ever grown. This year I used Acme fertilizers and have a fine crop —is curing bright and smooth. Am well pleased with results of Acme.” Acme fertilizers will give you good results, too If you want any specialized or technical advice, write me, care -of Acme Manufacturing Co., Wilming ton, N.
