Image of an advertisement booklet for Newport Fertilizer Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; four panels show an elderly farmer fertilizing a cabbage plant that grows quickly enough to allow him to climb it and escape a bull lettered with the words "The Trust" rampaging through the field; interior images show factory views, ships in the company's fleet, and train shipment of their fertilizer interspersed with advertising text. Date supplied by cataloger based on company history; Newport Fertilizer Company appears under that name in Philadelphia city directories from 1903-1904. "He hears a sudden crash. He plans to protect himself. He rises to the emergency. He shouts a cabbage-head is not so bad if you use Newport's Fertilizers."--text, bottom margin, recto. "Direct from Sea to Farmers 75% of the Ammonia in our Fertilizers is derived from Pure, Dried and Ground Fish, which we catch with our own steamers, dry and grind in our own Fish Factories. Do you know of any better Ammoniate for quick and lasting results? For sale by J. W. Cooley, Frenchtown, N.J. Newport Fertilizer Company Philadelphia"--text, verso.
