"Bradley Quality MEANS
Best Materials, Thorough Manufacture, Perfect Mechanical Condition, Highest Agricultur- al Value., Resulting from 37 Years' Prac- tical Experience in Factory and Field.
THE BEST MATERIALS are those selected for their crop pro- ducing powers and not for mere chemicle analysis or "comercial value."
THE THOROUGH MANUFACTURE of all our fertilizers, what- ever the grade or brand, has been brought to the highest attain- able point in all our works through the invention or adoption of the most perfect machinery and appliances that the ingenuity of man has devised.
THE MECHANICAL CONDITION of a fertilizer comprises the fineness or subdivision of its component parts, its dryness 'or friabil- ity, and the even distribution of each element of plant food
THE AGRICULTURAL VALUE of every fertilizer is dependent upon the degree of excellence attained in each of the above three car- dinal points, and to the highest development of these factors is to be attributed the unparalled success of BRADLEY'S FERTILIZERS, resulitng in the production of the highest crop-producing powers ever reached in any fertilizer.
In buying BRADLEY BRANDS you secure " BRADLEY QUAL- ITY," and consequently the largest possible returns for the money.
AN OBJECT LESSON.
Last spring while making an advertising contract with the Bradley Fer- tilizer Co., Mr. Rogers offered me a bag of the grass and grain fertilizer if I would try it on my grass lands. After sewing all but one pailfull I decided to make a test of its effects and going on to a knoll which would not cut half a ton to the acre, I traveled over it hap hazared sowing the fertilizer as long as it lasted. As soon as the grass started, a darker green and more luxuri- ant growth distinctly marked my track, and as the season advanced this be- came more pronounced, and showed as far as the field could be seen. A heavy growth of red clover came up, and was so stout that it lodged in places, and good judges estimated that there was three or four times the quantity of grass where the fertilizer was sown. The field was seen by several, includ- ing John Fernald, B. E. Goss, and others, who will certify to the results shown. Although I had used Bradley's fertilizers for years, and had great faith in them, the result on the run out grass plat was more than a surprise to me.
