grow so large that the personal elemeut
may be left out. Feoplc like to deal
with a real man, one who owns and con
tru!t? his own business, He is always
s ttiug that the only drawback to biviof
btril t: tti> a business which extends over
many states and takes many factories to,
supply Is that he cannot meet and talk
to all his (Mstomers face to face as he
did when he stnvtcd in business thirty
years ago. But as the years go fcy and
capable men whom he has traiued re
lieve him* of some of his burdens, }ie
feels more and more desirous of hear
ing from actual users of Itoyster goods
and will welcome letters from any old
or prospective customers. He has spe
cialized all his life on plant-foods for
our Southern crops and soils and placos
unreservedly at your command his own
practical experience ahd that of his
technical experts. Writp to him about '
