Another Bic Fertilizer Sale.

The Progressive Cotton Oil Co.
experienced another big sale of
fertilizers last Saturday, like un-
to the one mentioned by The
Leader last week somewhere.
about 165 tons, or little over 5
car loads. The yards of the Oil
Mill were crowded with country
wagons, which were loaded as
fast as the fertilizers could be
properly mixed and put in sack.
One advantage of the fertilizers
of this home companyis that they
are sold to consumers while fresh
and have all the strength of the
ingredients in each sack. The
Mills Company is catering es-
pecially to the home trade, be-
cause they know that they have
something good that will stand
the test.
