Two things you never 

saw photographed 
In a Dutch prison in Java over thirty years ago, 
a young medical officer noticed that prisoners eat- 
ing polished rice were suffering. Then he made a 
discovery that the trouble was caused not by 
something present in the rice, but by something 
absent — something hidden in its silvery skin. 
Something we now call a vitamin. 
Scientists have traced a dozen evils to missing — 
vitamins—from beriberi to night blindness. They 
know that some foods are rich in vitamins. And 
some are not. But you never saw a picture of a 
vitamin, did you? 
A similar hidden ingredient is found in sales- 
men. For years growers know they have had con- 
sistent luck with some firms, while with others it 
seems they just don't click. They talk with other 
growers to find their cultural faults, test soils, check 
methods, and match prices, but none ot these is 
the answer. 
They know the vital ingredient that makes the 
difference, even if they can’t photograph it. It's the 
invisible but important confidence growers have 
in a dealer. That certain quality that makes them 
believe more in one salesman, less in another. 


There are no photographs to show why, in this 
year of 1941, growers are placing their big orders 
with S. S. Skidelsky & Co. Blue Diamond is always 
top quality, but that’s not the answer. It's some- — 
thing bigger—call it poe pout vitamin” 
if you like. 
Maybe somebody will take a picture aft it some 
day. But it's not necessary. Growers know it's 
there, and they know how to use it. Bios s plenty : 
to know."
