portance to Our City.
A recent visit to the plant of the
Turkish OIL Company, extensively en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale of
the celebrated Turkish Veterinary
Remedies and Drug Specialties, which
have obtained such a wide and general
reputation for superior value, in the
treatment of all ailments of domestic
animals, has given us a. broader view
of its extent and Importance than
previously entertained.
DR.. Geo. A. Walker, who is in charge
of its laboratory is one of the best
qualified veterinarians in the state, a
Skillful chemist, and thorough STU
dent, fully abreast of the advanced
scientific thought and study Of the
age, pertaining to the preparation Of
the remedies the concern offers to the
public. Chas. T.,Walker, who attends
to the shipping department. is practi-
cal, careful, painstaking in the dis
charge of the intricate duties required
in business which has successfully
invaded twelve states, and Is of grow
ing importance and value to the pub
lie every where.
The plant of this institu tion has
been in operation in Cresco only about
eighteen months, but based upon the
merit of its remedies, and the busi-
ness methods of the concern, has
grown into wonderful proportions, its
products going into North and South
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Kentucky, California, and
completely covering the state of Iowa.
In all the above states the Company
and its Remedies are represented by
travelling men, and recently the COM
pany has opened trade through cor
respondence with other Southern
states with very gratifying results.
There are two factors for the rapid
development and growth in its busi-
ness. First is has no competition in
the manufacture Of Veterinary rene
dies, and second, the remedies it pre-
pare are in all respects just as repre-
sented and will produce the promised
result, if properly administered.
Its line of remedies is complete and
embraces remedy for the cure of ev-
cry i'll that may atflict the domestic
animals produced and kept on the
farms of the country.
These goods are put up assorted in
cases and there is with each first ship
ment or order an attractive show case
containing them, which, with small
investment gives the merchant or
dealer, complete veterinary depart
ment, so arranged as to attract the
attention of their farmer patrons. In
addition to this with each shipment
is sent five hundred descriptive circu-
lars together with business, name and
address of the dealer or merchant who
has them on sale.
The entire product is sold exclusive
ly to consumers by the local merchant
or dealer, the company absolutely re-
fusing to sell at retail.
All it's remedies are sold on a posi-
tive guarantee to do what is claimed
for them or the purchasers money is
refunded by the dealer who sold the
farmer the remedy. The almost uni
versal satisfaction given is evidenced
by the very few guarantee slips re-
turned to the company from the mer-
chant or dealer, and in nearly every
instance we are informed, because the
party to whom the remedy was sold
failed to follow directions in it's use.
But of this the company never hag-
giles, but invariably allows the claim
for restitution.
The intelligent, practical farmer,
cattle and horse breeder, and hog fat
tener becomes his own veterinarian
and not only saves money, but like
wise the life and health of his domes-
tic animals.
In the locality where it is located
the company advertises literally In
the newspapers for those who handle
its goods besides furnishing each with
the lot of circulars as mentioned
hereinbefore. But for the benefit of
merchants and dealers out OF the
range of these local papers the compa-
ny has adopted a method which,
though newspaper publishers as we are,
we feel constrained to endorse, as good
and necessarily far reaching in results.
The company asks customer to furn-
ish the names of one hundred or more
of his best farmer patrons, to each of
whom from the Office in Cresco is
mailed strong and truthful deScrip-
tive circular, also type written let
ter fully explaining the value Of the
remedies together with the name OF
the local merchant where the rene
dies are on sale. This method i'm
mediately makes known to those likely
to need any of the remedies, theiI
character and value and starts the
best class of customers in any commu
nifty to become purchasers and users Of
the remedies in treating their poul
try, cattle, horses and hogs, not only
in the treatment of any ills they may
have but likewise for their prevention
