Mr.. w. A. Tilley, North Catawba, Cald-
well O N. c., Nov, "a, 1888, writes: l
used last spring 500 pounds of 7 Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure TO the
acre. which acted. well. making 8 heavy
growth which yeIIowed well on the hill.
I have used different brands of fertilizers
during the last fifteen years, and find the
" Star Brand" equal to any I ever used.
I do not want any better fertilizer than
your Special Tobacco Manure.
Mr.. J. G. Slaughter, Mill Green, Person
co. N. c.. Dec. Is, 1888, writes: I liked
vour "Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure very well, it acted as well as could
be expected. 1 shall use it again.
Do not purchase a ommon 1O~aO-grGde
fertilizer, because, from its looO price, it
may seem to be cheap.
Mr.. John H. Ship, Durham, N. c.,
Dec. II, 1888, writes: | have used each
the "Star Brand" Guano and the "Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years past, and they have proved en-
tirely satisfactory in every instance. L
prefer them to any other fertilizers on my
land.
Mr.. W. L. E. Bullock, Oxford, Gran
vile CO., n. c., Oct. ID, 1888, writes: L
have used "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for ten years with entire success,
and consider it superior to- y~other
guano I ever used. -.
1t costs as much money to transport and
apply an inferior fertilizer as it does one
of the most superior quality.
Mr.. W. L. Miles, Hillsdale, Guilford, N.
c., Dec. "a, 1888, writes: | have used
your Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure for the last Z or 8 years, more or
less, and can say | think it as good or
better than any guano I ever used. [
shall use it again mex year; have used
nothing but the "Star Brand" for the
last four years.
Mr.. R. J. Woody, Stovall, Granville CO.,
N. c., Dec. %, 1888, writes: I have been
using the "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for the past eight or nine years
with satisfactory results. This year my
crop started off we'll, but owing to the
dry weather it was not as good as usual,
but fully as good as l could expect under
the circumstances.
A poor fertilizer azoVays makes a poor
crop, and often makes no crop at all. To
prevent a failure, it is frequently found
necessary to make a second application of
a better fertilizer, at considerable egtra er-
pense, which might have been avoided by
choosing the best at first. &
MI. V. D. Johnson, Hartland, Caldwell
CO., n. c., Nov. 1888, writes: L take pleas
ure in saying that your "Star Brand 5"
Special Tobacco Manure acted remarkably
well on my crop this year-so much SO,
that / can heartily recommend it to others,
assuming that you will, of course, Z keep
up the grade and quality.
Mr.. Amos J. Roberts, Barnard, Madison
CO., N. c., Nov. %, 1888, writes: 1 have
used several kinds of fertilizers until the
last two years, when I have used the
"Star Brand" exclusively, as it suits my
land and crops best. 1t gives quicker
growth, brighter color, and better body to
to the tobacco.
The best fertilizer is that which pro-
daces the largest crops of the best quality
from'any given soil, with the smallest ex-
penditure of money and labor.
Mr. nv R. Hawkins, Corbett, Caswell
Eco, Il: G., Dec. 8, 1888, writes: T have
used your "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for several years, along side of
other fertilizers, and as yet have found
none to beat it in good or bad seasons.
Mr.. R. T. Ship, Durham CO., N. c., Dec.
%, 1883, writes: | have used your aStar
Brand Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years, and shall continue to do so.
Think it the best guano on our market
for general excellence Too much cannot
be said in praise of it.
The application of the best fertilizer
adds greatly to the chances of making a
crop, and increases its value when made.
Mr.. W. c. Sprinkle, Marshall, Madison
CO., N. c., Nov. II, 1888, writes: Ny
crop is very good and cured brighter than
for for several years. l think the "Star
Brand" is a splendid tobacco manure it
gave me perfect satisfaction.
Mr.. E. H. lilly, North Catawba, Cald-
well CO., N. c., Nov "a, 1888, writes:
The Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nnre l purchased last spring gave perfect
satisfaction, Tobacco grew large and vel
lowed fine on the hill, and I think It is
fully up to what you recommend it,
