TWO SOLDIERS
We are in the army,
The old woman and me,
I am sixty-five
And she is sixty-three.
If we are to win the war,
We must eat what we grow
So I do the plowing,
And she wields the hoe.
We are planting in the spring
time,
And working in the sun,
We are two tired soldiers,
When the day’s work is done
We go to bed when night
comes,
And get up with the sun,
We are two contented soldiers
When the day’s work is
done.
Yes, we know our calling,
And know it mighty well,
We are going to feed ourselves
And the Allies as well.
So as long as the war lasts,
I’ll plow while she hoes,
We are in the fight with all
our might,
As God in Heaven knows.
—E. SHADLE,

OUR SERVICE
WE SHOW YOU THE REAL IMPLEMENTS
PICTURES OF THEM
-NOT SIMPLY
A picture often hides a multitude of flaws which
would be quickly detected by inspection of the pictur
ed object itself.
Suppose you want to buy a horse. One man
brings to you a picture of a horse; another man brings
a real horse. Which interests you the most—the pic
ture or the real thing?
The picture tells you nothing except in a general
way. What you want to know, as a prospective pur
chaser, is in a particular way. You want to know
whether the horse is sound of body and limb; hoy
old, sturdy and active it is, and something definite as
to its spirit. The picture tells you none of these
things. You can learn them only by inspecting the
horse closely and seeing it in action.
It’s just as unsatisfactory to buy a farm imple
ment from a picture as it is to buy a horse from a
picture. You can’t tell from an illustration whether
or not the implement shown has material of inferior
quality in the construction of some of its parts. You
can’t tell whether or not it has operating faults. You
CAN tell if you closely inspect the implement itself
and watch the operation of its parts.
We have a high-class line of implements for
your inspection. Call and see them and satisfy your
self as to their quality and operating capabilities.
That’s the safe preparation for buying. We’ll be
mighty glad to see you.
