FERTILIZER PLANT Buildings <of Sumter Fertilizer Company Well Under Way An entirely new kind of enterprise for Sumter county is the Sumter Fen ilizer Man uf? cf?ring Company. This corporation was organized for the express purose of making high grade fertilizers. Mr. George D. shore is president. Mr. J. P. Booth vice-president and Mr. A. E. TiSdale .*>; treasurer and manager. The plant, wh'fch is a large one. is j situated on the Atlantic Coast T.s'nei railroad just outside the city limits, j It is (".pupped with the very latest] machinery for the making of fertilize : ers. and has a capacitjrof 20.000 ton?. ' ?The owners of the plant were very : fortunate in seeming the services pfi Mr. A. . F. Stelling as superintendent ? He has had many years experie'ice with the leading fertilizer munufac-1 turers of this State, and knows all, phases of fertilizer ntanufacture. The present capital of the company is ^.",0,000. but il will be doubled at an early date. The company expect to prod nee a high grade fertilizer and no other. They expect to cater to the demand i of the farmers of this section of the country especially. The coming of; the boll weevil has made it' ne^es-i sary to use'a well 'onlanced fertilizer-, 1 suell as this corporation expects tp?] produce. The poropany will specialize! in tii.e manufacturc of the grades of fertilfeer creed for cotton and ntso that used in producing: tobacco. These are two distinct fertilizers, both to be produced here. This plant is a good thing for thej farmers in this section of the State; because here Quick and immediate" shipments may be had. The em ire support of the farmers should be giv en this .plant to insure, its success. The buddings arc neu.!- -m p 3e tion anrti w^ll be in operath^H: supply goods] for the spring of l^B The (Avners risk that* the farmers give them a, chance and see if they are not satisfed with a Sumter coun ty made fertilizer.
