THIS FERTILIZER
A RECORD-MAKER
Acme Has Been Producing Banner
Crops For Farmers For Over Two
Score Years?A Home Product.
BY J. 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. G. McCORMICK,
Sec. and Treas.
to Acme fertilizers, manufactured in
a fine, newly-rebuilt factory at Acme,
North Carolina. 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. No honest ferti
lizer manufacturer will make such a
guarantee. You do buy guaranteed
quality, however, and the past per
formances and satisfaction to users
assure you that you are getting a fer
tilizer without a superior. You are
further assured of :? fertilizer compos
ed of proven plant food value.
In dealing with tiie Acme Company,
you deal with "honiefolks," and an in
dependent concern?not a big corpora^
tion in which your problems become
enmeshed in red tape and delays. 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. With such a
business code and manufacturing pol
icy. it is no wonder that we receive
daily letters of commendation, such as
the following: ' *
~ E. T liass. Black Creek, N. C.,
w rit"f have bought Acme fertilizer
from Crooks Bros, for the past, two
years, and i cr<n . herrfully recommend
i! to be Jill you claim it to be. I have
obtained the very best results in using
on all crops?corn, cotton and to
bacco.
Here's what P. D. and'W. K. Kelly,
one firm of our dealers, wite:
"We have used and sold Acme goods
for the last tlv'^.y five years, and have
never failed to- the best r^tfultfl
from their use We have never had a
complaint from a customer during al!
the years that *rc have handled Acme
;ooda. We think '-bat Acme is tho best
ferti'izer on th?? luorket. and expect
to continue to and* sell Acme
good* as long rv* we handle fertilizer.
"Our relations ' witji the Company
have, throughout ail these long yes **,
been very satit?factory In every re
ject." 0

The physician looked at him and ex
pressed his opinion that it was use
less to take him to the hospital, it
is said, but Mr. Phillips replied, "if
you keep gangrene out,, I'll live." He
was taken off the battleground with,
no hopes, but he lived to a ripe age,
