Dr. J. S. Bizzell and Messrs.
George Bizzell and E. P. Wilkins
left on Monday night for New
York, from where they will sail
on a prospecting trip to Porto
Rico, one of the late territorial
requirements of the United
States. The stories of the almost
fabulous wealth of this fertile is
land with its delightful climate
have drawn these gentlemen thith-
,er to inspect for themselves, and
should they find that investments
prove as remunerative as the tales
that have been told it will be,
perhaps, many days before the
friends left behind will look upon
their sun-scorched visages again.
"Prolifc Cotton Grower" the
product of the Goldsboro Oil
company, was when it made its
debut on the market several years
ago manufactured expressly as a
cotton fertilizer, but the expe-
rienee of tobacco growers has
shown that it possesses IN
marked degree the elements that
impart life and food to the to-
bacco plant and produces the
grades that command the highest
price on the market. The compa-
ny have in their possession nu-
merous testimonials that bear out
this statement. While it is still
used as a fertilizer for cotton, and
always with good results, it has
created for itself a big demand
among tobacco growers.
