Pays for Itself in Better Crops
Even if you have only a small farm the New Idea Spreadc
will make you enough money to pay for itself and give you i
profit besides.
Scientists and experiment stations have determined that the value of manitf
is from $8 to $10 per animal. Ordinarilv half of this is lost through absorbtio-
in the barnyard and through improper spreading with a fork. Save this
by using a New Idea Spreader and you'll save $300 to $400 a year even on t
eu acre larm more on a larger place.
That'p why you should increase your profits by spreading with the
Registered iU.5.Pat.0ff, ,
Spreads 7 Feet Across 3 Corn Rows
The wide spreading New Idea saves you half a mile of travel per acre. It spreads bcyoi;
the wagon tracks and you don't have to drive over the spread manure. It spreads uniform
and the spread can be varied 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 loads per acre merely by pushing a lever. , ,
The double cylinder's and distributor take two whacks at the manure. Every parftc
f oes onto the ground none left to freeze or rot. There is no danger of clogging so the Yy
dea can be loaded as high as the ordinary wagon box. Strong chain; conveyor brings L,
manure unfailingly to cylinders. Cannot slip from under load and will not race going up v
Chain drive no gears to freeze, break or strip. Power to conveyor and spreader ni
anism is derived direct from rear axle no side strain or lost power. i t.
The New Idea is made bv SDreader soecialists with more than f vp-irs pvnprience, W
have the confidence to back their machine with a ' 1 year guarantee on workmanship
material, we unnesuaungiy recommena lu ,
See This Spreader
Let us show you how it works and youU understand why we're
so enthusiastic about the New Idea. It costs you nothing to inves
tigate and you will not be urged to buy against your will.
Special Book FREE
When you come in-be sure you ask for a free copy of -"Helping Mother
Nature" the special book which has been prepared by the manufacturers. This
is not a catalog, but is a book of information on the proper way to spread man
ure to get the best results. This book is really worth money, but we'll give
you a copy free if you'll call at the store.
