IMPORTANT TO FARMERS, Because of tlie low price of wheat and general tightness of the times I propose to meet the condition of the circumstances as turns am able, uml lo this end have determined to make a radical change in the mode of handing fertilizers ttiis fail season. Some of tlie leading items in fertilizers are costing less this season than for some years, and in addition to this factor in the fanners' interests I will sell at a small profit to regular time buyers who pay promptly when due, and from tfiese low prices will give liberal discount TO ALL BI'YKI'N who, to save money, will make special effort nnd pay spot cash. I have bought not onlv a general assortment, as heretofore, of the best goods to be had in the fertilixer line, but believing the plan adopted by me for this season will be appreciated by my friends and will add to my trade, I have." by buying a large stock, been able to get low prices, and the farmers who kindly call on me before buying elsewhere will find that they will do themselves good service by so doing.

I think my experience in selecting fertilizers a speciality with me for years and acknowledge of the wants of farmers in this section are wort something to my customers as well as to myself, and in making selections thelrinterests as well as my own are cart-fully considered. My stock, as heretofore, will consist of flu-best goods made, in line mechanical condition, n.nd will be full early and late, and farmers can get anything they want at any time In season. As profits will be short, I must make the cost of handling just ns small as possible, and will therefore not be able to sell through agents, or to send out any one to canvass, and all such unnecessary expense will In-saved by farmers who buy directly of me. jef-Don't forget that regular time buyers will get their t-oods at a low cash price, with interest added for time, and that SPOT CASH will entitle every buyer to a liberal discount.
