Weeds are Like Bad Pennies, Unless they are Absolutely Destroyed 
“They are Always Turning Up’’ 
So the logical method to use if you want to get rid of grass and weeds, Is the one which destroys 
the entire weed, both top and root. 
“Herbicide” md^Tnlbu Weed Exterminator 
does just this, and that accounts for the fact that Its use is the most satisfactory and economical 
method of clearing roadways and gutters of grass and weeds of every kind. 
Every shipment goes out with our guarantee of giving satisfaction, and makes good, and that’s 
why the use of “Herbicide” has become so general since it wast first brought out in 1883. 
When you find that your roadways and gutters need attention, order a shipment of “Herbicide” 
and you know you are getting the original and best weed exterminator. Don't accept a cheap 
imitation.
