THE J. I. CASE T. M. CO.
As long as the oldest inhabitants of
this country can remember the ,1. I.
Case threshing machine has been do-
ing the threshing of grain for farmers
of the nation, and now, and for years
past, they have supplied demand in
foreign countries. Main offices and
factory of the J. 1. Case Co., are in
Racine Wisconsin. At the recent Ok-
lahoma state fair they had a fine ex-
hibit. showing all the improvements
that have been made up to date. They
had one of their steel separators on
exhibition. This is the only company
that builds fire proof separators. They
also have self feeders, a weigher at-
tached and an elevator that loads the
grain into the wagon. The wind stack-
er is also a valuable accompaniment.
One of their huge engines was oper-
ating at the fair, ascending and des-
clnding a 50 per cent grade with ease
A steam caliope rendered music at in-
tervals during the week. Mr. Rash has
the general agency for the state of Ok-
lahoma for the famous Case threshers
and engines and appliances. He has
been in Oklahoma City since August,
1900. None are more diligent in push
ing business than Mr. Rash, who I
skilled labor to push his work rapidly
and correctly. C. G. Wlecklng, is here I
to remain at least until the completion :
of the Randall building. Success of
the Wurster Construction Co.. in se-
curing contracts for buildings in all
parts of the country indicates that
tliev do not only do work at reasonable
figures, but do it correctly, giving sat-
isfaction to property owners in every
respect.
