Jim, you should have
a Mc Vicker like mine

stop on the third under a sudden
load, r If a Mc Vicker misses fire
on the fourth cycle or stroke, it
can pick up the sixth, while oth
ers must wait until the eighth.
"The Mc Vicker has only four
moving:, parts in its valve action,1
while other engines have twelve.
You can see that that means less
friction to overcome in the Mc-;
Vicker, and consequently it does
more work on the same fuel, and
uses less oil I figure in action
it only costs me lc per hour per
horse-power to run. -
"See how well it's made, all:
the working parts of the best
forged steel, and bearings of com
position brass; the base is heavy
and reinforced at the crank-bearing,
giving absolute rigidity. AH
these parts, even the bolts, the
Alma Manufacturing Company
make in their own factory. They
grind the cylinder rings as accu
rately as those in a fine automo
bile to secure perfect compres
sion, and their $300,000 capital
guarantees perfect material and
"I haven't had much experience
with gas engines, Henry, tell
me why you recommend the Mc
Vicker." : - -
" Well, in the first place, it is so
simple to operate. '
"It has only i the parts of any
other engine made, and therefore
it is the easiest to understand and
to run. j There are no intricate
cams, ratchets, tumbling rods or.
other complex and delicate gear
to get but of order and need ad
justment and tinkering. I just
start my Mc Vicker goin g, and it
requires no further attention than
supplying fuel and oil.
'Then it will stand 50 & more
over-load. Unlike most four-cycle
engines (the best type, by the way)
the Mc Vicker will pick up power
on the first revolution of the fly
wheel, if needed to take up a sud
den load. Other engines often

workmanship in every engine
My 12-year-old boy can run the
engine, and I can put niy men and
horses at other Work. That's worth
considering, Jim. It's a wonder at
grinding feed, works right along as
smooth as a whistle J and I don't
have to bother j after IJ start it.
"I use my Mc Vicker for running
the corn shelter, churn, cream sep
arator, wood saw, , feed chopper,
horse clippers j etc., and it is sav
ing me time and money every day:
'There are 500 makes of engines

on the market, Jim. Most of them
are copies of each other. My brain
was dizzy after looking at a few of
them and trying to understand their
complicated mechanism. But the
Mc Vicker was as simple as A B C
right from the start. When I bought
it, they sent an expert from the fac
tory to help the dealer sset it up on
my farm. It hasn't needed any at
tention since, and I wouldn't be
without it for double what it cost."
