ALL prices in this BROADSIDE include 
PREPAID PARCEL POST or EXPRESS 
CHARGES to ALL POINTS, east of or on 
the MISSISSIPPI RIVER, EXCEPT in the 
case of shipments of the 100 Ib. size or larger quantity of ALL 
kinds of FERTILIZERS which are prepaid to points within 500 
miles of N. Y. City by express or by railroad. Not all destina- 
tions in this wide 500-mile radius have express facilities so 
railroad shipments to such points would be mandatory. 
A few long distance customers who buy as much as ton lots of one 
or more Specialty Foods misunderstood the exact meaning of our 
very liberal transportation ALLOWANCE, so we hope this clarifies 
that point. Probably 90% of all of our shipments are laid down 
PREPAID right to your door. Naturally and if express charges on 
these 100 Ibs. and over shipments to remote places are totally in- 
compatible with rail rates, we would handle such orders via rail 
PROVIDED the season was not so far advanced as to make delivery 
via rail impractical for use at planting time. 
There is a MORAL to all this and we hope you find it possible 
to co-operate a little with us again this year by BUYING EARLY 
and stating WHEN you want shipment made and approxi-

Who Pays the Shipping Costs? 
mately WHEN you ex- 
pect to apply your Ferti- 
lizer. There is space on 
the “TEAR-OUT” BLANK 
ORDER FORM herein, for 
that very purpose. 
There are two sound reasons WHY all of our F.S.B. 
and mail orders are handled on the basis of REMIT- 
TANCE WITH ORDER (check, Money Order, or cash) 
also this (1) Our accounting system provides for monthly 
bulk or mass entries of mail receipts which 
eliminates a lot of waste expense and time 
in our Office. ; 
C.O.D. shipments inyolve almost double the 
time in their preparation of shipping tags 
and postal red tape and FINALLY when 
these C.O.D. shipments reach the customer an 
extra postal charge is exacted for collection 
and the buyer doesn’t like it; and we can’t 
control postal rules. 
Many of our prices herein are considerably less (in spite of 
increases of material, parcel post and transportation charges 
since June 1953) than they were in 1953.
