scientific ability that ample means and liberal
policy will command, and has acquired inval-
liable experience by years ofpatient enterprise.
Hence, the Pacific Guamo Company has the
ability to bring into market the very best fer
tilizer, at the loaoest cost to consumers; that am
pie capital and enterprise, aided by the best SCI
entifc ability, can produce.
Secondly-We base the claims Of this COM
pany to the fullest public confidence, upon rea-
sons founded in the nature of things. Respec-
liability and private character afford good claims
to public confidence; on these grounds none
can have higher claims, but we dismiss these
considerations, because in a case like this, these
qualities can not be known and appreciated,
however excellent they are.
Personal interest is esteemed to be the strong
est and most universal motive to human action
and policy, especially in matters pertaining to
trade and commerce. Hence, if this company
be judged on this principle alone, its claims to
public confidence are of the highest character,
unless it be assumed its policy is dictated by
the grossest ignorance of its best interests. 1t
must be seen at once that q company like this,
with such large vested interests, must look to
permanence in its trade through long future,
to render its capital secure and realize compen-
sation for its investments. If it ceases perma-
nently to earn dividends its capital becomes
total loss, while it can afford in its beginning
to omit dividends, so that it build up safe
and permanent trade for the future.
The Pacific Guano Company must of 'ecessi-
ty, continue to bring into market the best fer
tiizer that its unequalled facilities can produce.
and, gaided By am enlightened policy, it is recog-
nized by them as their highest interest to put
it into market at minimum profit on its cost,
by which policy its use is extended. The COM
pany looks to small profits, large sales and per-
manence of trade to insure reasonable returns
on surplus capital invested in legitimate bu-
siness of great public utility.
1t is well recognized principle that capltai
aggregated from surplus means can be employ
ed at less rate of compensation than can be
afforded by private capital hence 1t is true
that in all enterprises in which large means IA
cilitate economy in production, private re-
sources cannot compete with aggregated sur
plus capital.
| For the foregoing reasons it must be conced-
-First-That the Pacific Guano Company
possesses the ability to furnish the country with
a fertilizer under its trade mark of SOLUBLE PA
cIF1c GUANo, of the highest real excellence, at
the lowest possible cost to the farmer.
Secondly-That the only true policy OF the
company, dictated by ordinary prudential care
for its interests, is to use all its resources tc
furnish the best possible products that its une-
qualled facilities can bring to the markets.
Il Thirdly-That its character, capital and ma
teraI interests are such in the nature OF things
furnish the surest guarantee OF the contlnuee
excellence of their fertilizer, and entities tn
company to the highest claims to public conn
dence.
Fourthly-That company like this, involv
ing the permanent investment of large capital
founded upon solid basis; the operations o
which are managed by men of the highest mer
camille standing; the products of which are
dapted to the promotion Of the most importan
of all branches of industry; we think we ma;
say, it will be conceded, that a company sucl
as this, sustains no unimportant relation to tn
agricultural interests of the country.
NoTE.-It is necessary for us to note the fac
that in consequence of the reputation acquired
, by the Soluble Pacific Guano, as brought int
market by this company, the same name ha
been given to fertilizers of totally differen
character and quality, for which the Pacih
Hence it is necessary for us to caution consum
!, ers to see to it that they procure the genuin
product of this company, the evidence of whicl
is the names of the undersigned branded on eac1
bag, as agents for the company, otherwise tn
, article is not genuine.
