The Durham Fertilizer Company,
Durham, NJ c.:
DEAR SIRs:-We herewith enclose a
set of resolutions passed June Doth,
1891. bv Pleasant Grove Alliance, No.
1883. in which we express conf
dence in the Durham Fertilizer Com
pany for it's fair and honest dealings
with us. With that assurance, we
confidently believe we have fertilizer
as good as the best.
Yours very respectfully,
(Signed) LEVI WHITTED, Pres't.
S. E. TATE, Sec'y.
In addition to the foregoing, we are
in receipt of the following certificate
relating to the same subject matter
from W. Fl. Worth, State Business
Agent, North Carolina Farmers ALI
ance, to-wit:
[Copy.]
I, w. H. Worth, State Business
Agent North Carolina Farmers ALI
ance, certify that s.. T. Morgan, Presi-
dent of the Durham Fertilizer Com
pany, has shown me the original bills
- 1.o1-o1o &c 4IO oo~rO1inr4c from
which the Alliance guano was made
that was shipped to j. R Smith, at
Mebane, N. O., and the books cantain-
ing formula of the goods, and from
the guaranteed analysis. I have ex-
amined the Superintendent of the
Durham Fertilizer Factory unter oath,
and he has thoroughly satisfied me as
to the materials used in this particular
lot of goods. / have had every oppor-
tunity, and have thoroughly examined
the whole matter, and feel satisfied
that no wrong has been done us.
Signed) W. H. WORTH, S. B. A.
An impartial public will not fail to
consider the true source Of these at
tacks upon us, and we confidently
believe that our rival in trade at
Mebane, who is also travelling agent
of a certain fertilizer company, and
his associate in slandering us, also a
travelling agent for the same company,
will sooner or later find out that they
have O~ver-reached themselves in this
instance, and that the fertilizer bust
ness is better promoted by following
legitimate trade than by sensational
newspaper articles assaulting the bust
ness and character of our company.
They may perhaps realize that our
business has been built up by patient
attention to our own affairs, whereby
we have gained the confidence of the
great farming public who have C
sion to use our goods in their business,
Alliance organization. They may also
find that the gentlemen who compose
the Alliance above referred to are fully
competent to take care of themselves
without the self-cOnstituted guardian
ship Of these parties and their cOad-
TUTORS.
Very respectfully,
S. T. MORGAN, President.
L. \. CARR, Secretary, Durham Fer
tiliZer Company.
