PIMXE 2V. a n More and more every day the demand for the Fordson Tractor increases because the Fordson has demonstrated so much useful ness, so much economy, so much labor saving, so much money sav ing, along so many lines of activity. The farmer has discovered that not only for plowing, harrowing, discing, seeding, mowing, reaping and threshing, but a multitude of other uses; cutting wood; feed; grinding feed; churning; washing; furnishing water in the house; making electric light possible in the house and around the barns; so that, as a matter of fact, there is hardly an hour in the day when the Tractor cannot be made a profitable ser vant. There is ditching to do ; there are roads to fix ; and so on all down along the line of the numerous calls that constantly face the farmer the Fordson steps in and does the work, shoulders the com plete burden of the toil and the hard work, one might almost say "drudgery." . , , , -.u This is the Age of Machinery, the day when man plans the day's work, or the year's work, and then turns it over to the Trac tor to execute. Get the book, "The Fordson at Work," because it is free. If you cannot call for it, write and we will mail it to you. The Tractor is not only a necessity to every farmer but it is an es tablished utility along a great many commercial lines. Our allot ment is limited to so many each month. Let us have your order now.
