Iron enough for a medium sized nail. Sugar enough to fill a shaker. Lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop. Phosphorous enough to make 2200 match tips. Magnesia enough for a dose of magnesia. Potassium enough to explode a toy cannon. Sulphur enough to rid a dog of fleas. This whole collection is worth 98 cents..." (The Minnetonka Pilot, July 6, 1922)
