Fernandina, Fla.
I Gentlemen :
The fish scrap furnished me, at
factory price as a stockholder in
your company was highly satisfac
tory; and I want \o thank you for
your absolutely fair treatment in. all
our business dealings.
There's something about this whole
enterprise that "rings true" and.I am
convinced it is an opportunity such
as has never been offered before to
farmers. I would not part with my
stock, and could place some more for
you if you wish me at any time .to
do it.
My cotton, in spite of adverse con
ditions, is making a good yield
some of it two bales per acre. My on
ly source of ammonia was "Our Fish
Scrap," that sounds big. Well, I am
proud of it.
Thanking you again I am,
MRS. EDNA I. TRAYWICK.

[Seminole Fertilizer & Oil Co.,
Fernandina, Fla.
I Dear Sirs: .
I am a stockholder in the above
fertilizer company and have used fish
for my crop this year. It is my opin
ion that acid phosphate and 12 per
cent Fish Scrap, one-third scrap, is
the best fertilizer a farmer can use.
I am delighted with my stock and
would not sell it for any reasonable
consideration.
Yours truly,
W. E. PARDUE.
