PACIFIC aUANO COMPANY.

OF failure, in consequence of unpropitious
seasons, being no greater than when Peruvian
was used. If the disinterestcd testimony Of
farmers is an evidence of truth, and we are
sure it is then it is true that results from this
Guano when applied in like quantities per
acre, have been fully equal to those from Peru
Wan Guano, and in not few instances supe-
rior on the first crop. while on grass and clover
crops following, it has manifested an effect un-
known to Peruvian.
1t must be noted that the cost Of this Guano
is so much less per ton than Peruvian, that 800
lbs. may be applied per acre at little or no
greater outlay than 200 lbs. of Peruvian
Guano can be applied for
In view of the Importance Of this trade, and
the just demand on the part Of consumers for
assurances, first as to the ability of the Pacific
Guano Company to bring into market con-
centratcd fertilizer of the highest excellence,
at the lowest cost to the farmer and secondly,
as to the claims Of the Company to the fullest
public confidence, we propose first to show
,ohat their facilities are; and secondly to show
upon what grounds they lay claim to full
public confidence in their products
First-The Pacific Guano Company is the
result Of private association of few of the
largest shipping merchants in the United
States, engaged in the California trade, the
primary object being to furnish return frei ghts
for their ships from the Pacific. This private
association was subsequently organized into
stock Company, with an actual cash capital,
invested and at command, of l.00o, 900, and
is unquestionably the strongest company in the
country engaged in this important trade. It's
stockholders are limited to but few in number,
not exceeding fifteen, embracing some of the
most respectable and wealthiest merchants, all
Of whom are actively engaged in business
enterprises of trade and commerce.
The large capital of the Company, is the
aggregation Of surplus means. by reason of
which it is enabled to accomplish results un-
attainable by private enterprise Hence, the
Company is the sole owner of tho extensive
deposits from whence it draws supplies Of
natural phosphate of lime. and the other ele-
ments which enter into the composition of it's
fertilizer; therefore, with these facilities, it
procures supplies at lowest cash cost Of pro-
duction, and does not pay profits and commits
sions to importers or intermediate parties.
The Company has called to its aid the best
scientific ability that ample means and liberal
policy will command. and has acquired inyal-
liable experience by years Of patient enter
prise. Hence, the Pacific Guono Company
has the ability to bring into market the very
best fertilizer, at the lowest cost to consumers
that ample capital and enterprise, aided By the
best scientific obihty can produce.
Secondly-We base the claims of this Com
Pany to the fullest public confidence, upon
reasons founded in the nature of things
Respectability and private character afford
good claims to public confidence; on these
grounds none can have higher claims but we
dismiss these considerations because in case
like this, these qualities cannot be known and
appreciated, however excellent they are.
Personal interest is esteemed to be the
strongest and most universal motive to human
action and policy, especially in matters per-
tanning to trade and commerce. Hence, ;f|
this Company be judged on this princi iple
alone, its claims to public confidence are of the
