with results entirely satisfactory; the instances
of failure, in consequence Of unpropitious
seasons, being no greater than when Peruvian
was used IF tie disinterested testimony Of
farmers is an evidence of truth, and we are
sure tits, 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 a few instances, supe-
rior on the first crop, while on grass and clover
crops following, it has manifested an effect un-
known to Peruvian. ......
It must be noted that the cost Of this Guano
is so much less per ton than Peruvian, that 300
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 Rae!fc
Gaano Company to, bring into market con-
eentrated fertilizer of the highest excellshce,
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
aplsos their facilities are;. and secondly to show
upon what grounds they lay claim to full
public confidence in their products. z@.'.:&

result Of q private association of 3 few Of the
largest shipping merchants in the United
States, engaged IN the California trade, the
primary object being to furnish return freights
for their ships from the Pacific. This private
association was subsequently organized into a
stock Company. with an actual cash capital,
invested and at command, Of 81 100000 and
is unquestionably the strongest company in the
country engaged in this important trade. Its
stockholders are limited to but few in number,
not exceeding fifteen, embracing some oftthe
most respectable and wealthiest merchants, all
of whom are actively engaged in business
enterprises Of trade and commerce.
The large cspitalsof the Company, is the
aggregation Of surplus means, By reason Of
which it Is enabled TO accomplish results 'un-
attainabls by private enterprise. Hence, the
Company Is the sole owner Of 7ths extensive
deposits from whence it draws supplies Of
natural phosphate Of lime, and the other ele-
ments which enter into the composition of its
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 Of intermediate parties.
The Company has called to its aid the best
scientific ability that ample neans and liberal
policy will command, and has acquired inval-
liable experience BY years Of patient ENTER
prise Hence, the Pacific GuGno Company
has the ability to bring into market the very
best fertilizer, at the osusst cost to CONSUMERS
that ample capital and enterprise, aided 6yase
best scientific abilty, can produce. = 4 e.ars@

good claims to public confidence; on these
grounds none can have higher claims, but we
