XT AVErvou thought of the peanut crop as offering: you a irhbiiey-makingopr-
c.a. snoop, secty tunity? Your neighbors are growing peanuts in bigger and bigger quantities'.
They are realizing on a real money crop' V ' . j . : ';0.;:;-T":
These peanut growersafe interested in better methods of haryestine the crop. Like you and me,
they want to get airefthe profit out pf their labor and expense. These farmers know the folly of
"hogging-down' their crop. Theynow the wastefulness of hand-picking. . -
Everywhere peanut growers will wanFtheir crop picked by the "Benthall". fi
There is a chance to make money doing this work. Frankly, then, it is not a questionfpf being able
to own a "Benthair buta question of not being able to do without one. For you can pick your own
crop and make big prpnts picking for your neighbors with--
I want to put this machine on your farm with
, the understanding that it will pick your crop
better than any machine ever bulk. '''It was
- designed by the genius of the peanut machinery
industry Mr. Benthall. It ia not an experiment.
v We have been building "Berithalls for. a de
l cade. They have saved millions of dollars for
Southern I farmers. A "Benthair . will also
. make profits for you. .
that was formerly done slowly and laboriously.
The "Benthall" is a real picker not a. thresher.
The vines are fed to it just as to a thresher. It
picks Spanish and Virginias equally well.
Each nut -comes out clean and perfect free from
trash and stems. Buyers are giving from 10 to
25c more -per bushel for the Benthall-picked
nuts. ' rr7r. :
Pays for Itself hi
' The. "Benthair' really costs you nothing.-. It
pays for itself in two weeks. ' Instead of having
to pay out half the crop for hand-picking you
and your boys can do the work and have fun
doing it. ' '.. ?:..
The, "Benthall can pick, as high as 600 bushels
in a day. Think of the wages you would save
picking at such a rate as this! '
After you have picked your own crop you can
make big. money picking for your neighbors.
One farmer paid for his machine and cleared
$1,500 in a single season doing custom work.
Here are some of the reasons why the farmers
in your section will want your "Benthall to
harvest their peanut crop; V '
;' ; Its Mechanical Fingers ;
The VBenthail' is almost infallible." Mechan
ical fingers more accurate thousands of times
more rapid than human hands do the work
Hand-piciung is a thing- ot the past, it a a
hundred years" behind times. For it means
wasting half the crop just as though you burnt
it up. You have to pay out big wages for in
competent hired help. : Birds and stealing loses
bushels. You suffer cut prices because of get
ting your product late to market. .;
The Joss in this way on a 200 bag crop will pay
for the Benthall Peanut Picker.
Threshers Grind Up Money
Contrast -the "Benthall with a thresher. Cylin
der threshing bruises nuts. - They may seem to
be perfect but the skin around kernels is crack
edgerminating power is lost. They can't be
used as seed. -
Oil mills don't want threshed peanuts. Cylin
- der machines break hulls. The njits will not
keep in warm weather. -Weevils "get in and
work havoc. Buyers take them at at" discount
because of the chance of spoiling.
Now, how do farmers harvest corn? They plan
to get both the corn and the fodder. One with
out the other cuts their profits. Threshers may ,
harvest your peanuts. ' " , But they grind up the
vines. And the feeding and manurial value of
these vines is $25 per acre. Cutting them up
is like cutting up dollar bills.
Do you use a big horse power engine to cut up
your fodder? The expense wouldl be great.
Threshers require excessive horse power from
10 to 15 h. p. , This kind of engine burns up
gasoline, Think of it the "BenthallV can be
run by a 4 to 6 h. p. engine or horse- or f mule
power. This makes operating expense negligible.'

My Iron-Clad Guarantee
The "Benthall must do the work -we claim
for it. " It is guaranteed to pick without injur
ing the nuts without cutting . up .the - vines
that it' will pick either Spanish or ';Viriinias.
Unless it docs these things your money is . re
funded. ;You can't own a . "Benthall '. "unless
you 'like it. ' ' ' ' ' ' ...
