HE CAN DSEIT All YEAR LONG
...WHY NOT NOW?
NEW! BIGGER POWER!
What better time? He’s always talked about practical
gifts. Make it this year.
The new Allis-Chalmers B-10 tractor is a real tractor
—bigger horses, bigger rear tires. With tools he can
get (just like a farmer gets his implements) he can:
• throw snow • mow • mulch leaves • roll tAo
lawn ♦ plow, disc and till a garden • carry loads.
There are attachments, like: a loader, lift tines, Ji
grader, blade, and so on and so on.
Come in for a free ride. And, put it on our tim*
purchase plan. Why not now?
