The 



Right Preseription 



€^ The continued operation of a piece of machinery, 

 day after day, week after week, year in and year out, with- 

 out proper attention; the failure to supply right oil in 

 right quantities, poor fuel and little of it, means loss of 

 efficiency, dwindling profits and, at last, a serious breakdown. 



A horse that is driven all day long and 'most of the night, 

 stabled in poor' quarters, given poor food and, in fact, neg- 

 lected in general, becomes less an asset and more a liability, 

 until finally he is a total loss. 



A man who is on the job year after year, with short sleep- 

 ing hours, working under a continual strain, no recreation, 

 no interest outside of the four walls of his shop, is bound 

 for the scrap heap, and sooner or later he will find himself 

 up against a serious problem — how to get back on his feet 

 physically and mentally. 



As a business man, you are careful of your machinery and 

 of your horses, although perhaps not so careful of yourself. 

 We are all apt to overlook our own health in the race for 

 the dollar, and regret it when too late. 



^ Now, about the soil on your benches, upon which 

 your success depends in no small way — is it worn and weak 

 and non-producing ? You may be wondering why a bench 

 that produced a bumper crop two years ago is practically a 

 failure this year. Do you know that your soil is right ? 



We'll give the ordinary grower credit for rotating his crops 

 and resorting to the compost pile occasionally, which is all 

 very good, but to feed a starving man French pastry when 

 he craves beefsteak is cruelty. 



We have a complete soil-testing laboratory and can find out 

 with no uncertainty when a soil is starved for one of the 

 component parts. If you want chrysanthemums, we can 

 help you produce chrysanthemums by building your soil for 

 the purpose.
