This reduction of $230.00 makes the lowest price the FORDSON or any other Tractor ever sold for, and puts it in reach of any farmer who needs one. The implement manufacturers have also made heavy reductions, and the Tractor, Disc Harrow and Plow may all be had for less than the Tractor alone a few days ago. Mr. Ford has worked on this Tractor proposition for years'to get it perfected and has recently built and equipped at a cost of forty million dol lars the greatest Tractor manufacturing plant in the world. Is now rady to build and market a million Tractors a year, and at a price that no farmer can afford to attempt to farm without one. Certainly it is that it will cost you more to farm without than with one. The day of power farming is here now. Place your order before the spring rush. Don't wait until the last minute, before yon are ready to begin your Spring operations. I have only a lim ited number of outfits in stock, and it takes considerable time to get in a shipment.
