2 \si May, 19 18 

 De.\r Sir, 



Being a very enthusiastic gardener, I was 

 told by a friend to use your ' S.A.NITAS' Powder 

 on my garden to keep the skigs and snails away, 

 which I have done to my great satisfaction. I 

 have not seen a slug or a snail and before, my 

 garden was infected b\- cats and birds which I 

 rare!}' see. 



You will be pleased to note that I am writ- 

 ing ever}' gardener and smallholder to use it, and 

 I feel sure when once used they will never be 

 without it. It is indeed the gardener's friend. 

 You can with pleasure make use of this letter. 



Wishing you every success. 

 1 remain, 



Yours faithfully, 



F. G. Westacott .Shaplaxp.
