In fact, it will do anything you can do with , horses; do it quicker, easier; and with less hired help. It weighs only 2800 lbs., but all its weight being on its two wheete a1 its weight is traction weight.

I bought them because I know how they are built' on; the inside. That's the important point. -Up hill or down, through ruts and holes, and the worst kind of going, those tires Stay on the rims, and give perfect traction. ' Experience has taught me the value of equipping a car all 'round with Federal Tires, v , In the base of each Federal tire four strong steel cables anchor the tire safely to the rim against the hardest kinds of strains. Yet they slip off easily when necessary. Made In white Rugged and black Traffik non-skid treads. Sold by leading dealers everywhere. The Federal Rubber Company of Illinois (0 Factories, Cudahy, Wis.
