CHEMICALS

We have been induced by an old
established, and reliable Fertilizer
manufacturing firm who thoroughly
understand mixing of chemicals, to
handle the "Star Chemicals for Wheat"
as quite number of our farmers wish
to manipulate their own Fertilizers,
and have applied to us for chemicals.
We now offer them the above with the
firm assurance that it will meet their
wants in every respect. There are
chemicals offered at a price slightly
lower than the price of the "Star,
but we assure our patrons that there
is not one ounce of inert matter, such
as dirt, or sand enters into the COM
position of this formula, and we have
spared no effort to get the best chemi-
calls that can be obtained for the mo-
ney, as over one forth of this formula
is PURE DISSOLVED ANIMAL BONE.
The price at. which it is offered
places it within the reach of all, and
we hope our farmers will give it fair
trial this season. Cash price of the
"Star Chemicals delivered at Steph-
ems City depot, free of freight, $1,000.
On IL months time, payable October
LIST 1882 1880
1t is put up in 4 sacks containing
IT'S pounds each, making 700 pounds
in all, full instructions for mixing ac-
company each formula.
Thanking you for the great success
of the king Phosphate, and wishing
a good demand for the Star Chemicals
We remain yours truly,
