Low Prices Deceptive.

In the purchase OF fertilizers. low
prices are frequently very deceptive.
The man that thinks he Is saving $40
a ton on fertilizers will almost always
find that he is paying for large
amount OF material that has no fertll.
ity in &C. In one case that has come
under our observation the wpriced
goods were really so low In value that
one dollar produced only GO cents
worth OF real plant food In the me-
dlum-prced fertilizers one dollar
bought ca cents worth OF plant food.
while in the highest-prlced fertilizers.
one dollar bought 10 cents worth OF
plant food. The balance OF the dollar
In all these cases went as profit to tho
manufacturers. as freight TO the rail-
road, and as commission 10 the agent
that sold the goods. Ii will thus DO
seen that the man that bought low.
priced fertilizers was paying 40 cents
out OF every dollar for these extra
charges mentioned The man that
bought the medum-prlced fertilizers
paid 36 cents out OF every dollar for
Ah'oN AhihbAf NHilo Ahe man Ahah
bought the highpriced fertilizers paid
only q cents for things other than
real fertilizer. II is our observation
that in the main the high.prlced fer
tilizers are the cheapest This IL
thing hard TO understand by the ay.
erage buyer who naturally thinks
there Is less chance OF being cheated
on lowprlced goods than on high.
priced goods, but he must remember
that the freight and cost OF handling
are Just as great on n ton OF low.
priced fertilizers as on a ton OF high
priced fertilizers. Our advice Is al.
ways 10 buy the high-priced fertilizers
unless the buyer knows exactly what
he is getting In the low-priced fer
tilzers.
