How Home Mixing 



Makes European 

 Farmers Prosperous 



They buy straight materials and 

 mix them into balanced fertilizers 

 containing two or three times as much 



Nitrate 

 of Soda 



as high-priced American complete 

 fertilizers contain. Your fertilizer 

 should contain 4% of active nitro- 

 gen. Does it? 



On land farmed for centuries, 

 England raises 33 bushels of wheat 

 per acre. We raise but 14. Europe 

 imports 100% active Nitrate of Soda. 

 You use dried blood, tankage only 

 60% to 70% active and you pay 

 more for it. 



"Home Mixinsr" is a book to help you 

 increase your yields. Send your address 

 to me on a postal card.

 a rcj^iilar glutton for good work.

 Big Ben will work for you a full year. 

 I'rom "Boots on" to Lights out" — 

 365 times — he'll guarantee to tell you 

 the time o'dijy with on-the-dot accu- 

 racy. He has made the same guar- 

 antee over 3,000,000 times and made

 passed over good dealers' counters 

 for Big Ben and his brothers. 



A Big Ben battalion, over 3,000 

 strong, leaves I,a Salle, Illinois every 

 day. Every one of them feels proud 



of his triple nickel-plated coat of im- 

 pltjmcnt steel; his dominating seven- 

 inch height; his large, bold figures 

 and hands, and his big, easy to-wind 

 keys. No other clock can match 

 their looks and ability to serve.

 Iteii. He'll \takc you erjduii/Iit by rintinf every 

 other hatf-minutc for ten minutes or rout you out
