G McCOllMICK To formers who are now figuring their fertilizer requirements for 1925 (his article is in tended. Here are factB and state ments regarding an old, reliable brand of fertilizer which has been giving hundreds of farmers banner crops and more dollars per acre over two score years. I am referring J.

And this plant is a marvel of arrangement, of modern machinery and complete equipment. Hero are made Acme fertilizers, un der the personal supervision -of Mr. Gilchrist and myself. We buy the best ingredients to be had, regardless of cost?-to uphold the reputation of the. Acme fornfujae, we could not af ford to substitute an? cheaper or low quality ingredients. Our formulae,, which, are clearly printed on every bag. have always been an "open-book." There aro no secrets to hide about what goes into Acme. You can come to Acme and see the process of manufacture?we would bo glad if you would, for then you could see for yourself the pains taking care with which Acme is made. You would better understand why Acme has been the favorite, fertilizer and the standby of so many farmers year a ti er year. 9 When you buy Acme: you don't buy guaranteed results.

Mr. Oilchrist and I concider your business so important, do tttatter of its ?ize, that one of us wfll give anything you care to take up with us our personal and prompt attention.
