Farm Tractor
When Henry Ford set about building the FordSbn tractor he
and a thorough understanding of, just what it should be and what
it should do. His early life on the farm gave him a deep insight
into the daily life of the farmer; his mechanical genius saw the type
of tractor needed. He began work on a farm tractor thirty-five
years ago, and for more than twelve yearst he experimented over
more than 7,000 acres of land in different kinds of soil, with different
crops*
So he built the Fordson. It is so simple that a school-boy can
operate it. It is low in first cost. It is lowest in operating cost and
Fordson service are always to behad promptly from the dealer.
The Fordson is a profitable investment. It can be used every
working day in the year. It is an inexpensive power plant that will
lighten your farm work. It has proven its worth on more than one
hundred thousand farms not only in operating implements in the
fields but in belt and pulley work. And it doesn’t eat when idje.
Don’t delay ordering your Fordson tractor. The demand is
greater than the supply.
