A satisfied customer is the best AD" 



Mr. C. H. Rockwell, of Enterprise, W. Ya., writes: 



"As to your gutter, I have not yet seen any gutter made that will duplicate 

 it. Your gutter I have in use shows no sign of a leak. I have two styles of 

 gutters made by other firms and they are now leaking bad and no way to remedy 

 them." 



We are the patentees and sole manufacturers of this 



'l^ l' LEAK- PROOF gutter which is giving so much satisfaction.

NO UNCOMMON THING. 



No, it's not uncommon, as you will 

 agree, for letters and telegrams that 

 come into the office of The Review dis- 

 continuing Classified ads to bear the 

 commendation and thanks of the ad- 

 vertiser for moving his surplus stock 

 quickly. The reason for this is that it's 

 not uncommon for Classified ads to 

 move a florist's surplus stock with one 

 insertion. The service given by The 

 Review draws such letters every day. 

 Here's one of them: 



Please discontinue our ad for alteniantheras 

 in Classified and mail bill. Sold out, tliunlcs to 

 The Beview. — Dan Rattle & Son, Covington, Ky., 

 May 7, 1920. 



If you hear a man complain of the 



cost of advertising you can be pretty 



certain he spends a good bit of money 



elsewhere than in The Review. 



DISEASED TOMATO PLANTS. 



Can you tell us what is the matter 

 with our tomato plants? We have been 

 successful in producing good tomato 

 crops for over twenty years, but last 

 season our plants were attacked by 

 some kind of disease. We had planted 

 3,000 plants in the greenhouses and they 

 appeared to be strong and healthy and 

 grew vigorously until two or three 

 clusters of blooms were produced, when 

 the plants began to die without any 

 apparent cause. First a leaf, generally 

 near the ground, would wilt, and then 

 leaf by leaf the plant would wither and 

 die. We lost almost every plant. Some 

 would not be attacked until they had 

 grown to a height of four or five feet 

 and were loaded with tomatoes, but 

 they would then quickly die. 



We got new seed, new pots, new soil 

 and started the plants in a different 

 greenhouse this year and now the dis- 

 ease has appeared again and from over 

 3,000 plants we have not over 100 good 

 plants. We have used Bordeaux mix- 

 ture and all other remedies we have 

 heard of, but without any success. 

 What can we do to prevent this disease! 

 We plant the seed early in December 

 and plant the tomato plants in the let- 

 tuce house in the solid ground from the 

 last part of February to the first part 

 of March. P. E. F. C— Wyo. 



I am unable to state what the disease 

 is from which your tomatoes are suffer- 

 ing, and cannot suggest any remedy for 

 the affected plants. The attack seems to 

 be so virulent that I would suggest call- 

 ing in an official of your state agricul- 

 tural college, provided your state main- 

 tains one, and getting his opinion and 

 advice. There is evidently something 

 wrong in the soil. It may suit lettuce,

 steam would cure your trouble and it 

 would certainly pay to do this while 

 your house is empty, if you have the
