.MINING/POTASH INGERWAKY 



DO NOT DELAY ! Order Your Potash Now 



Every spring tliere is less pntash in your loc;il market than the farmer needs 

 and wants to buy. There is a reason for this. You expect to order potash v.ith 

 the other fertilizers, forgetting that potash must come some four thousand 

 miles. This takes time. 



Those who want to insure arrival in time, pl.ice their orders as early as 

 October to permit shipment before the German rivers are frozen. Late orders are 

 subject to more risks and delays. 



Arrange for your dealer to place his order now so as to be sure of a 

 supply. If he does not handle it write us for prices direct from the mines to you. 



Do not forget that the longer you have used phosphate the greater is the 

 present potash need and profit.
