TRADE MARK
Farm Tractor
It is a habit of Henry Ford to thoroughly try out and test any
product he manufactures before he puts it on the market. He per
sonally must know it will do all he wants it to do before he will allow
anybody else to buy it. For thirty-five years he worked on this Ford
son Tractor. He kept buying land until he had something like eight
thousand acres in order that he might get a great variety of soil con
ditions containing the plowing problems that meet the farmers of the
world, and then the Fordson Tractor was put to work and made to
take all sorts of practical tests for years before Mr. Ford put it on the
market.
And, therefore, when it came on the market, it was right,
it was reliable, it would do the work he said it would do.
People have bought it, have tried it out, have tested it, and it has
proven to be all that Mr. Ford claims it to be, and this is why that
while farm Tractors have been on the American market more than
twenty years and while three hundred have been sold one hundred
thousand of that three hundred thousand are Fordson Tractors, and
yet the Fordson has only been on the market two years.
It has sold rapidly because when one farmer bought one, he
practically converted the neighhborhood to the desirability and profit
of the Fordson Tractor on the farm.
The Fordson is made small, compact, flexible, dependable. It
is made to be much more convenient to handle than a horse. It was
made so that anybody of ordinary common sense could operate and
take care of it. We wanted to make it so that a mechanic would not
have to be sold with every Tractor. It was “made by a farmer, and
it has the endorsement of the farmers—the little farmer and the big
farmer. Some farmers have one, some farmers have ten and fifteen,
and one farmer we know has fifty-six. It works just as well in the
West as it does in the East. It is just as flexible in the North as it is!
in the South. It is just as profitable in the wheat fields as it is in the
sugar and rice fields. It is just as flexible and useful on the fruit
ranch as it is among the fields of oats and barley. It is just as useful
and profitable in the lumber camp, railroad yard, coal mine, as it is
in the oil fields or any other commercial line. But especially de
signed for the farmer, it is especially his necessity.
Because it increases the production of every acre by enabling
the famrer to cultivate his ground to better advantage than he can
with mule or horse-power. It takes the sting and drudgery out of
farm work. It is a great conserver of labor expense. Oh, it has so
many money-saving advantages that the famrer can’t do without it
and be progressive and make money.
So we ask every farmer to come in and let us tell him about
this Fordson Tractor. Let us make a demonstration for him on his
own farm. Let us test it out to his soil conditions. Let’s show hiih.
Don’t delay because there are only so many Fordson Tractors
to coe to this territmory. Get your order in now, and remember that
to come to this territory. Get your order in now, and remember that
the Fordson after service is. prompt and sure. We are supplied with
everything necessary to keep your Fordson going every day in the
year. Come in and let’s talk it over.
