BENTON CITY, NO., Jan. is, 1900
Mr.. ]. Zimmerman. Dear Sir: Ihave
used your corn guide and am con-
vinced that It will do all that You
claim for it. l had occasion to culti-
vate some corn that was leaning con-
siderable and 1t was a pleasure to see
the guides leading the leaning corn
through the arch Of the c%ultivator. In
blowing my corn the last time 1t saved
me the price of the guides on every
FIVE acres that l plowed, as my corn
was large and thrifty when laid by;
consequently l am well pleased with
my Investment OF s1.25 per set. I'll
never pillow tall or leaning corn with 6
two-horse cultivator without the
guides. FRED J. PREcHT.
