THAT SHOE MACHINE
Grover Earley, our progres
sive dummy shoemaker hasn’t
any more sense about shoe and
harness machinery than we
had about printing machinery
when wre bought our linotype
last February. He received a
new-fangled shoe and harness
machine last week which never
turned a wheel until yesterday,
Thursday for the reason that
he had to do as we did, wrait
until an expert could come over
from Little Rock and put it in
motion for him. We sincerely
hope he will not have the ex
periences wTe have had in learn
ing his machine, but at that we
would not swap our dear old
Model One for the whole Ger
man empire with what allies
she has left thrown in to boot.

THIS Case 10-20 pulls three plows in sod as
well as stubble. /And it will not “rear-up”
when plowing upgrade.
While the soil in different fields and the price
of kerosene in different localities vary, we can
give you an idea of what this tractor will do by
stating that in August, 1917, the University of Ne
braska found that it plows one acre in one hour
and six minutes at a fuel (kerosene) cost of 20^
cents, plowing at a depth of 6 inches. We know
of no other tractor- that works so economically.
This all-’round tractor is at your service day
and night, always ready at the exact time you
want to use it. It is sturdily built and bound to
outlive others.
We are always glad to talk tractors, and will be glad
to tell you about this and other Case tractors. Be sure
to see us before you buy.
