1) LOOK aud LISTEN e HOW TO ORDER 
Please take 3 minutes to read this page because as plainly as we have 
tried to guide you in ordering we have experienced cases involving corre- 
spondence and consequent shipping delays that never should have occurred 
with just normal attention to details that (1) save you money, (2) patience 
and (3) happy memory of your dealings wih us. 
Know the answer to this one. 
Who Pays the Shipping Costs? 
ALL prices in this BROADSIDE include PRE- 
PAID PARCEL POST or EXPRESS CHARGES to 
ALL POINTS, east of or on the MISSISSIPPI RIVER, 
EXCEPT in the case of shipments of the 100 lb. 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 destinations 
in this wide 500-mile radius have express facilities 
so prepaid railroad shipments to such points would 
be mandatory. 
There is a MORAL to all this and we hope you 
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 lbs. 
and over shipments to remote places are totally incompati- 
ble 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. 
find it possible to co-operate a little with us this year 
by BUYING EARLY and stating WHEN you want 
shipment made and approximately WHEN you 
expect to apply your Fertilizer. There is space on 
the “TEAR-OUT” BLANK ORDER FORM herein, 
for that very purpose. 
AND WE CANNOT HANDLE C.0.D. SHIPMENTS 
SO PLEASE ALWAYS REMIT WITH ORDERS 
There are two sound reasons WHY all of our 
F.S.B. mail orders are handled on the basis of 
REMITTANCE WITH ORDER (Check, Money 
Order, or Cash). 
(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 oflice. 
(2) C.0.D. shipments involve 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 collec- 
tion and the buyer doesn’t like it; and we can’t con- 
trol postal rules. 
EVERY F.S.B. BUYER GETS 
A PRESENT (FREE) FROM G & O REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT 
In your “GARDENING TRAVELS” you may 
have seen this 4 page (314” x 574”) pocket size 
Soil Tester. It’s a “gem” for testing your soil 
for acidity and alkalinity because it has a color 
chart that measures pH from 5 to 8 and names 
over 125 different kinds of flowers, vegetables, 
berries, shrubs, house plants, etc., that grow 
better in acid, neutral and alkaline soils. Has a 
plastic soil plunger for sticking into the earth 
to proper depth. 
Make a dozen different spot tests on your plot 
with our GIFT without spending $5.00 to $35.00 
SOML TESTER 
POCKET for a tester that probably isn’t used more than a 
half dozen times anyway. Agricultural, Research 
and Scientists have already approved of this 
tester so you need have no qualms about its 
efliciency. Some stores sell @ 35c. 
Just know that with your order in 1955, 
regardless of the amount, you get a mighty good 
soil tester from us as A GIFT, and in addition 
to all those gifts on page 28.
