Attention II called TO the biz dis
play advertisement q the +. s. Roy
ster Guano Company, manufacturers
OF Orinoco Tobacco Gunno. on the
fourth page Of the GOLD LEAF this
week. No fertilizer is better or more
favorably known among tobacco
growers. 1t has successfully stood
the test for twenty years, and its sale
exceeds that of any other brand OF
fertilizer made in the United States
1t Is sold wherever tobacco i6gruHn.
The REGARD of~sales il perhaps its
own best comment, spea king louder
than words. ia 1885 the sales we're
$50 tons; 1890, five years later,
1.5OO tons; 1895, they reached H.
600 tons; 1900, 5S,455, since which
time the demand has increased phe-s
nomenally until the grand total of
l2O,772 tons was reached last year.
The Indications are that 1905 will
show u still greater increase.
Orinoco Tobacco Guano is too well
known to require words of introduc-
ton Or Recommendation. 1t is looked
upon in all tobacco growing CON-
munities as the standard tobacco
guano and is not only recognized as
such by merchants and planters. but
by manufactures as wall. rs is espe-.
cially prepared for tobacco aud that
is why it gives such remarkable and
satisfactory results. When you see
Registers trade mark on bag Of
fertilizer. it is like the word Sterling"
on silver-it'sa guaranteeo of genuine
ness-and goodness. a.
The F.S. Royster Guano Company
is composed of North Carolinians,
and during this growth of their bust
ness the company has not changed
hands in any respect. The business
was originated by Mr.. F. 8. Rovster
at Tarboro, N. g., and he.is still the
president OF the company, Mr.. C. F.
Burroughs being the vire-president.
1t is an independent concern-.snot
in trust"-and not Il dollar of for
eign capital is invested in the bust
ness.
AS the business increased enlarged
facilities were required. The company
moved to Norfolk owing to the favor
able port advantages and esta blished
a factory there while still operating
the Tarboro plant. Factories have
since been built at Columbia, s. c.,
and Macon, Ga, these works being
among the largest in the entire
South.
In connection with the publication
of a small pamphlet of voluntary
testimonials. the following statement
is made by the manufacturers in re-
gard to their goods:
For nearly twenty years Orinoco has
been the leading Tobacco Guano in NORTH
Carolina and Virginia, because it ID made
for Tobacco especially.
"We have made Tobacco Fertilizers
study and know there is nothing on the
market that equals it as producer of
Fine Tobacco, and it well deserves the
title OF King OF Tobacco Guanos. There
is more Orlnoco sold than any other To
bacco Guano made
f. S. Register GuOnO Co., where the name
Royster is so Familiarity known, aadli
where the names of OrinOcO and Farmers.
Bone are household words TO eyerys
planter Of cotton and tobacco, we feet
that the publishing of testimonials is a
waste of paper and printers ink, at the
same time we cannot help but publish a
few of the letters we have received from
our planter friends speaking SO highly of
our goods.
The strongest statement we can make
in connection with orr goods ID that the
high standard they have attained viii
always be maintained in the future, it
being our aim always to make the best
fertilizer possible, giving the benefit of
our experience, OF over 20 years."

Gentlemen:-Your Orinoco Tobacco Guano
is just what you claim for it. 1t is the best
fertilizer on the MARKET have come to this
conclusion after five years trial with other
brands, and do not believe it has an equal l
will in future use no other. as can easily
make 1900 pounds of tobacco per acre,
