Within a days drive of our office.

There is little wonder that all the agents
travelling through this locality are aiming at
RECKORD'S SPECIAL COMPOUND.
They say, Il will sell you just as good fertil-
izers as Special Compound, for several dollars
per ton less" my Phosphate is as good as
Reckord's Special Compound" Some even
say, IF my fertilizer is not as good as Reck-
ord's you need not pay for it - and cases have
been known where they DID NOT have to pay
for it. Even then the cheaper fertilizer was
the most expensive. You loose your crop and
time also.
With our experience we know how to make
fertilizer that is best adapted for the crop upon
which it is to be applied. Certainly we know
as much about it as people who never made a
pound in their lives.
You need fertilizer that will bring the re-
suits in the soil. 1t is not so particular as to
its analysis. Fertilizer with the same analysis
can be attained for much less money than we
sell Special Compound for. If you only desire
analysis we can make a fertilizer, guaranteed
as high analysis as Special Compound, for "
the price of the Compound, but the compost
ton will not be the same. You get more than
the analysis from US. With each bag of Spe-
cial Compound you get quarter of century's
experience in manufacturing. The results
show this is worth something in fertilizer.
The crops stand drought much better and
give much larger yield than when cheap
common goods are used. The largest crops
raised in Hartford have been raised with Reck-
ord's Special Compound.
All of the best and most successful farmers
buy it because they know the BEST Is THE
CHEAPEST. They prefer it at so per cent.
advance in price, because the results pay
them.
IH-We are prepared to give you better SER
vice for the money than any other manufac-
turer offering goods. Our expenses are less
and our facilities better. Wewould be pleased
to have any one visit our factory and examine
our stock before manufacture and remain if
they desire while it is made.
We stand ready at all times to buy from our
customers their products, thereby making a
home market for their grain, &C. We sell all
kinds of Fertilizer and Chemicals and will name
lowest price upon application,
