From the Four Corners of the World

The manufacture and distribution of MODERN FERTILIZERS is an intricate business. From the four corners of the world are gathered the raw materials—Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash. Each part of the world is dependent on some other far country for one of these three essential ingredients. NITROGEN, the most important in peace or war, is now universally produced; yet Florida supplies over per cent of the world’s PHOSPHORUS requirements, while France and Germany control the richest POTASH deposits. Numerous by-products of all three are also items of world commerce. The purchasing, financing, transportation, manufacturing, selling and distribution have the world as a workshop. Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Law, Money and Banking, Insurance, Traffic, Foreign Exchange are every-day tools in the production of today’s Commercial Fertilizer. Crops and soils, like humans, require a varied menu. SUMMERS’ formulas, compounded from the highest quality materials obtainable meet this variance requirement. We believe this important feature ac­ counts, in part, for our enjoying over the past fifteen years a constant annual increase in our sales to Maine Farmers. Write our nearest branch for 1935 literature and prices. THE SUMMERS FERTILIZER CO. BALTIMORE, MD. Sales Branches in Maine Located at BANGOR, HOULTON, SEARSPORT, CALAIS MR. EDWARD H.
