FORDSON
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
Fordson Tractor. He kept buying land until he had something like
eight thousand acres in order that he might get a great variety of
soil conditions containing the plowing problems that meet the farm
ers 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 thousand have been sold one hundred
thousand of that three hundred thousand ^re 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 neighborhood to the desirability and profit
of the Fordson 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 ordinaary 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 for
a farmer, and it has the endorsemet of the farmers—the little
farmer and the big farmer. Some farmers have one, some farmers
have ten and fifteen, and one frmer 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 ad rice fields. I is just as flexible and use
ful 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 designed for the farmer, it is especially his necessity.
Because it increases the production of every acre by enabling
the farmer to cultivate his ground to a 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 farmer can’t do without it
and be progressive and make money.
So we ask every farmer to come in and let us tell him more
about this Fordson Tractor. Let us make a demonstration for him
on his farm. Let us test it out to his soil conditions. Let’s show him.
Don’t delay because there are only so many Fordson Tractors
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.
