O.WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
pEING informed that report is circulated that
ID have bought largely of Bradley's Super-Phos-
phate and prefer it to that made by the Cumberland
Bone Company, desire the error to be corrected.
To explain more fully, let me say that use sew
eral hundred tons yearly in my business of Corn
corn for me. am also preparing myself this year
to grow some three hundred acres for which the
Cumberland Super Phosphate will be the principal
and like it, and some desire to try both. To accom-
modate such PERSONS and to give any their choice,
berland more largely than any other purchaser,
every year since the Company began to manufac-
ture, and prefer it to all other brands.
1 think farmers are being imposed upon in having
spurious and inferior articles urged and almost
forced upon them, and have not felt warranted in
encouraging farmers who grow corn for me-to buy
any other sorts than the two named above, giving
the preference to the Cumberland.
