That makes George Mauncy. manager ??f Woffoid Terrell's wholesale house liinith. For the Wofford Terrell company is now rounding its 30th year, and planning to go after business as nev??? Vw.fni-i. On Saturday, the company villi! open in "new-old" quarters on Ilia-1 i wassce street, iust below the Metho-1< dist parsonage. The phrase "new-old" is used be- j cause it was in this same building 1 that the company started in business j, back in 1909. They remained there: until 1919, when they moved near the ! depot, and used the old headquarter- 1 ters as a warehouse. Now they go back to the place where 1 they built their original prosperity ? The building has been remodelled. ! 1 renovated, and its shelves will be lined i with $10,000 worth of brand new! stock. Read the big advertisement else-j where in this paper, for details. FORD PERFECTS A NEW TRACTOR REDUCING LABOR j: [ ( Efficient in Corners Too Small For Use Of Horse and Plow Out on the big estate of Henry ; Ford, near Dearborn, Mich., not long ^ ago, some 450 newsmen, farm ex- | ports, business leaders, and represen-' tatives of foreign Governments saw a j preview demonstration of a new ; self starter tractor that is expected i to revolutionize farming with its j many new features. The idea was born in the brain of Mr. Harry G. Ferguson, of Belfast, Ireland, and prcfected by the million dollar staff : of experts working for Ford, after fivmirimnni : * " Itrti-IIIIK in years. An entirely new system used in attaching the soil penetrating imple- i ments cuts weight to a minimum, and thus decreases consumption of fuel. Another feature explained by Ferguson, is the hydraulic mechanism which is not only a hydraulic lift, but a system which automatically controls the implement at any desired i depth, regardless of irregularities in j the surface of the land. The tractor and implement, close- > ly coupled into one unit, can actually i work in irregular plots and corners , too small for horses. This was con- i vincingly demonstrated on the Ford j i estate, in a twenty by twenty-seven- | foot enclosure which the tractor tilled ! 1 completely without leaving a wheel ;; mark on the surface of the plot. j i On large farms, the new tractor t can pull a two-bottom fourteen-inch !s plow under average conditions with ' i Continued on back page i sries is Set IPs Team t The score was three all, and the All Stars had two men on, and two 1 men out, with 2nd baseman Barton, u wicked slugger at bat. Sowder was to follow, and Turner decided to walk Barton to get at what he regarded as comparitively "easy meat." v That got Sowder's mad up, and the I way he whaled that ball was a sin S and a shame.
