WiNDROWERS
In addition to any tax advantage there’s a sensible*
money-saving reason for buying a windrower now-
bbsspSP
,jr during the fall or winter
...oieaa of waiting until spring, Hesston will
send you a check direct from the factory. It’s sort of
an early-buyer bonus for the interest money we save
on a big equipment inventory.
The earlier you buy, the more you save. The table
shows the amount of the check for the model and
month. You gain in another way, too. The earlier you
buy, the more likely your Hesston dealer is to add a
little something extra to the deal.
Ask about Hesston’s Interest Wavier Plan that pays the interest on
Hesston Hay Equipment until May 1,1972
If you’re looking for a better deal on windrowers.
