Cumberland Super-PhOsphate

TNHE CUMBERLAND BONE COMPANY is an
l. association oi prachcal farmers, who organized
under Charter from the Stale in order to protect
themselves from imposition in the purchase o. com
mercal manures, by manufacturing as good an arti-
Gle as could be made, by employing the best materi-
services of Mr.. GOODALE, well known as an Agri-
cultural Chemist, and Secretary of the Maine Board
OF Agriculture, who has sole charge OF directing its
manufacture.
One result of their operations was, the production
of so superior article thar others wanted to share
in its benefits and thus sales began and they have
increased steadily and rapidly, so to be more than
ten times as or at in 1868 as they were in 1866
Another result has been that. other manufacturers
who wanted 10 sell their manures in Maine, were
compelled to improve the quality of their goods, SO
as to make some approach to the high standard thus
established; but the

Some dealers refuse to sell the Cumberland su-

can make larger profits on articles which they can
buy at lower price, and which cost great deal

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
PEING informed that report is circulated that I
- have bought largely of Bradley's Super-Phos-
Rhate 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
Packing, most OF it to supply to farmers who grow
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
dressing But some farmers have used Bradley's
and like it, and some desire to try both. To accom-
modate such persons. and to give any their choice,
purchased soma of Bradley. have used the Cum
berland more largely than any other purchaser,
every year since the Company began to manufac-
ture, and prefer it to all other brands.
think farmers are being imposed upon in having
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.
