approach in interest those held

FARMERS!
See the Wonderful
Moline Universal Tractor
at the State Tractor Demonstration at Boyd's Bonnymeads
Farms next Tuesday and Wednesday, August 12 and 13.
The Moline Tractor is doing absolutely perfect farm field
work, such as plowing, cultivating, mowing, harvesting,
spreading manure, etc., as well as perfect belt work on most
of the largest farms in Dauphin County.
Mr. John Runkle on Cumbler's Dairy Farm, Highspire,
says: "My little 'Red Lady' (his pet name for his Moline
Tractor) is a wonder. I just finished cutting 38J4 acres of
wheat with a seven-foot Deering Binder and used exactly
34 gallons of gas at 26 cents, or a cost of 23 cents an acre.
That beats horsepower, and I did it myself."
FARMERS
Order your Moline now and farm the modern way. It
saves time, it saves dollars. It means better crops—at less
cost —
See us now or at the Demonstration.
