SPARKLING BLUE WATERS of Cancel Bay on St. John,
smallest and least populated of the U. S. Virgin Islands,
offer ample opportunities for underwater spearfishing and
swimming. Equipped with underwater face masks and snor
kel tubes, the swimmer can explore marine life on the bay’s
bottom or pursue numerous fish. St. John is easily reached
by boat from St. Thomas, largest of the U. S. Virgin Is
lands. 1 (Pan American World Airways Photo).

cent of the crop has been sold
in unusually heavy early buying

ware bought by two manufac
turers in three days’ building.

to get the most
**• start with the most
Whether it’s money in the bank or performance in a tractor,
you can only draw on what’s there already. That’s why it
pays to start with the WD-45, the Allis-Chalmers tractor
with plenty of performance... built in.
Climb into the seat of the WD-45 and you feel what
makes the difference... the mighty POWER-CRATER,
engine... two-clutch power control... automatic Traction
Booster... Power-Shift Wheels... and SNAP-COUPLERI
See for yourself why you get the most when you start
with the most... the WD-45 Tractor. And it’s priced to
save you hundreds of dollars!
