Horse Chow Checkers with built-in hay or Purina

horsemen’s standby

We offer both of these re
search-proved and field

Performing its way fo leadership
Farmers are making GLEANER the fast
est growing combine line in America.
And we're proud.
Buyers put faith in good things they
hear about Gleaners from friends,
neighbors and relatives. And they ask
questions.
Like why is the cylinder way down in
front ]ust inches from the header? So it
will float with the header . . . crops feed
directly to and evenly across the entire
width of cylinder. The most complete
threshing action in the business.
Why is Gleaner gram so clean that
elevator men recognize it on sight?

Because practically 90% of it is pre
cleaned by air with 2-fan cleaning be
fore it gets to the cleaning shoe. And
the longest separation travel you’ll find
in a combine means more gram saved
in the bargain.
No wonder sales of the Gleaner
“E” accounted for over one-third of all
combines produced in the U.S., m its
class, the first year out.
It’s your crop ... your work ... your
profit. So get the most from your
harvest. Join the Great Silver Fleet.
Make up a great team ... a Gleaner
