There's something
There is a lot of satisfaction in having equipment
that looks good But, more important, paint is
' the best protection against rust and corrosion We
use live steam and a special solvent to remove
rust, grease and old paint. Then we refinish
with special farm eqyipment paint that perfectly
matches the original Allis-Chalmers color.
The low cost will surprise you. Ask us to quote
on your tractor, All-Crop harvester, and other
major machines.

At Baltimore
BALTIMORE, Dec 9 —As road
conditions improved and consider
ing last week’s sharp price in
creases cattle moved to market
at a more normal pace with sal
able offerings even promising to
exceed the early morning esti
mate. Slaughter steers and heif

most of these being mixed good
and choice Trading was uneven
although steers and heifers were
mostly strong Cows accounted
for nearly 35 per cent and sold
steady with bulls strong Around
5 per cent of the arrivals was
stockers and feeders which sold
steady.

dividual good 1230 lb yearling
bull at $22.00.
VEALERS & CALVES There
