An Old Sayings But a True One.
This penny -wise and pound foolish policy is still
practiced by some farmers when they go to buy a farm
implement. The' ask the price. Quality is not con
sidered; nothing but price. If one mower is cneaperby
$5.00; yea, even by $1,00, perhaps 50c, he will buy it.
Possibly he uses it one season. Next year he wants
a new blade, some guards, an M448 or a Gill. If the
party is in business that he bought it from he probably
goes to him for repairs and says: "I want so and so."
"Well, I will have to telegraph to Kalamazoo for them;
75c for telegram, please; express 90c." "My land!
man, that eats a fellow up. How soon can I get
them?" J'Three or four days," says the dealer
"What? Why, my grass needs cutting now."
If that farmer had purchased a McCormick Mower
of us he would have no f aouble to get tis repairs, be
sides having one of the best if not the best mower on
the market.
