THE ARKMO LUMBER CO.
J. F. RIPLEY, Manager.
There are many Tractors clamoring for the patronage of the
farmer. The very air is charged with the noise of claims. One
would think that all the farmer had to do was to buy a Tractor and he
would enter into the Millennium.
Well, consider this fact—there are a great many different
makes of Tractors. Tractors have been in the American market for
twenty years. In th^at some three hundred thousand Tractors have
been sold to the farmers in the United States.
Two and ttvo make four. Two and two always will make four.
If the Fordson Tractor had not delivered more good work, more satis
factory wo'rk, more economical work, than any other farm Tractor, it
would not have sold in the ratio of anywhere from five and more to
one. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” The proof of the
superior merits of the Fordson Tractor is in its larger sale and use.
The Fordson Tractor then asks you to buy it because of what
it has done for your neighbors. It asks you to buy it on its merits. It
asks you to buy it, Mr. Farmer, because you have use for it every day
in the year. All the uses for the Fordson Tractor have not yet been un
covered because new places where machine power can take the place
of human power, where machine power can supplant horse and mule
powder, are being found every wreek, and wherever such discovery oc
curs, the Fordson Tractor will fill the bill more satisfactorily than any
other form of power.
The Fordson is simple m design, and it is very strongly made
of the highest quality of iron and steel. It is the product of the great
est mechanical genuis the world has ever known, and it is most ec
onomical in first cost and after expense. The Fordson Tractor on
your farm will increase the value of every foot of ground in that farm.
It will put more dollars and cents into every hour ydu put into the'
farm.
Now why not have a Fordson right away? Take up tihe sub
ject with us. Come in and get the details, and all the particulars.
It is only a matter of time until you buy a farm Tractor—that is sure.
So don't put it off when it means money to you to act promptly.
