from thirty to fifty per cent of the farmer's time. And time saved—getting
fields in shape to plant in the proper season; getting things done when the>

As ever, the machine-way is proving more efficient, faster, easier than the
old hand way. In the factory, the machine increases production, saves labor—

The Fordson way is the machine way of farming. Besides it solves the labor
problem.
The Fordsou'o first cost is the lowest in the market; and the after or
operating-cost is lowest.
It is a compact easily han-
dled tractor, backed by
the greatest tractor ser-
vice organization in the
United States.

Fordson tractors, but we
carry a stock of Fordson
