Miracles in Money
A city skyscraper seems a miracle in
steel and stone. But it is only a vast
number of girders painstakingly placed
together —a vast quantity of bricks
placed end to end and one above another.
Miracles in money are seeming miracles
only. You can work miracles in your
own life.
Saving Wins Success
You can have a big prosperous farm,
own a car, or travel wherever you wish.
Men who have realiy suc
ceeded spell it S-A-V-E. You
can win the same success.
You do not need a lot of
money to do it. You need
no great education.
You need only the determi
nation to start now and con
tinue. Let us help you.

It has an extra heavy frame, with large wheels.
Is roller bearing and is very light running.
Has two speeds, slow and fast, and the gears are
all enclosed in a dust proof box and run in oil like
the gears on an automobile.
Come in let us show you some of the many advan
tages this mower has over others, and after we^
have showed it to you and you do not think it is
the best mower made, we do not ask you to buy.
Come in next time you are in town or write for
