WHAT IS DYNAMITE? Some farmers have a wrong idea about dynamite. They know it is a powerful explosive, and believe it is dangerous to handle. Dynamite _is_ very powerful, much more so than gunpowder, but is actually safer to handle. After more than a hundred years' experience in making and using explosives, we can truthfully state that by following simple directions with ordinary care, anyone can use our "Red Cross" Dynamite without harm. The purpose of this booklet is to tell you the wonderful value of the use of "Red Cross" Dynamite on the farm. If it interests you, as it surely will, and if you are progressive and ambitious, write for a copy of our "Handbook of Explosives for Farmers, Planters and Ranchers," which will be sent free of charge and which tells just how to use "Red Cross" Dynamite safely and easily, and make it the greatest aid to profitable farming. We will be glad to correspond with you about any special requirements of your farm, or give you any information you want. Write our nearest office (see last page) and your letter will receive prompt, personal attention. Chief Uses of Dynamite on the Farm.
