REEVES GAIT & COMPANY,
BLOOD. BONE AND FLESH FERTILIZER

| The manufacture of fertilizers occupies a
very important position in the affairs of every
| agricultural community, as this department in
| cludes one of the most indispensable articles
| used in farming, and, while all intelligent
farmers use manufactured fertilizers of some
| kind, it is of paramount importance that they
should use that which will be of the most ben
eft to the land on which it is used. Few, if
any, of the many fertilizers on the market have
higher reputation than the ''Blood, Bone and
Flesh Fertilizers" manufactured by Reeves
Gait and Company, of this city.
They have received hundreds of testimonials
from farmers who have used the Blood, Bone
and Flesh Fertilizer. Space forbids us to use
but a few of them, among which are testimon-

Baylor.
The business was first established by Mr..
Gait in 1884. In 1883 Mr. w. N. Wilson be-
came partner in the business. The frst.year
that Mr. Gait engaged in the business he made
fifteen tons of fertilizers, and the second year
200 tons; last yeart (ISSo) about 1000 tons,
were sold, showing that the merits of this fer

the need of paid service as the only
sure and accurate remedy for the pres
