BEHIND WITH ORDERS

But few people in Topeka realize
that located at the foot of Ninth
street, along the Santa Fe and Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad tracks, is a COM
pany doing a business unparalleled in
the city in point of profits compared
with the expenditures. But short
time ago. two companies engaged in
the manufacture of stock remedies,
powders and sweeping compounds,
were consolidated. The company is
now known as the Standard Agricu1-
tural Manufacturing Co.
The purchase of the old Standard
and Agricultural Remedy companies
by the new corporation required mon
ey. The obligations of the old con-
Germs must be met by the new COM
pany. The consolidation of the two
companies was effected last Septem-
Der and since that time, the business
of the Standard Agricultural Manu-
featuring Co., has been steadily in
creasing, in fact so fast that their
limited capital has been taxed heavily
to manufacture the products and meet
the demand of the trade.
Additional money is required to in,
crease the manufacture of the COM
pounds and remedies, place them on
the market and carry the operating
expenses until collections are made
from the sale of the finished products.
Contracts are now filed and sales
made that must be filled Immediately.
Additional money to be used for the
operating expenses to increase the
number of statesmen and purchase raw
material, must be raised. Consequent
~ the officers of the company have
decided to place on sale small
amount of treasury stock.
Factory Covers Half Block.
To furnish some idea of the magni-
tude of the business and to give some
conception of the factory and the
manner of operation, a short descrip-
ton of facts and figures are given.
The factory of the Standard Agri-
cultural Manufacturing company &C.
cupies about half the block on the
west side of the main line of the San
ia Fe and east of the Missouri Pacific

roads have access to the company's
ware houses. -Four buildings are used
for factories and office buildings. In
the factories and sub-factories is in
stalled the most modern machinery
for the grinding and mixing of the
various compounds and powder.

building twenty by fifty feet where

where the Standard Hog Remedy is
manufactured.
"In this building we manufacture
the Hercules Stock Powder a1so,' said
W. r. Swortwood, secretary and gen.
eral manager of the Standard Agri-
cultural Manufacturing Co.
This powder is a wonderful feed
saver and appetizer when mixed with
the rations of the stock. The STAN
dard Hog Remedy is compound of
thirteen different herbs and drugs all
ground to an extreme fine powder,
suitable to mix with soft feed or dis
solve in water and is one of the great
est worm eXpellerS and feed and ra-
ton savers known to stockmen. One
of the principal ingredients of the
Standard Hog Remedy is Imported
Levant Worm seed. Five hundred
pounds of the seed are used in 5000
pounds of the remedy. Every other
drug or ingredient used in the prepar-
alton of the remedy is guaranteed I'M
der the pure food and drug laws of
the state and all have strong medicin-
al qualities.
with this seed are ground a large
amount of pure African ginger, nuS
vomica, poke and b1oot roots, sage
sulphur and drugs to the extent of
thirteen. The best veterinarians,
druggists and chemists will testify
that the various ingredients used in
the Standard Hog Remedy arc of the
greatest benefit to the swine family.
The officials of the company have i'll
heir possession numerous testimonials
from various prominent stock ralsers
to the effect that as a worm expeller
and an economy in saving feed and
rations, it has no equal.
