AVID RANKIN was a big farmer and
he knew his business, He owned
the largest corn farm in the world,
about 35,000 acres down in Missouri.
He devoted his life to the pleasant
study and practice of right farming, and he
succeeded mightily, for he made $4,000,000 in
the business of farming. David Rankin said:
*“The manure spreader is the most efficient
money-maker on the place.”
It’s warm praise to be ranked above all other
farm machines, but the spreader deserves it.
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from
them, without return of fertilizer. Return
every bit of manure to the soil. The I HC
manure spreader will save you much disagree-
able hard labor, will spread evenly, and will
make one ton go as far as two tons spread by
hand.
I H C Manure Spreaders :
are built to suit you, to do best work for the
buyer in every case, to convince him that he
has made the wisest purchase. Every detail
in the construction has a purpose, for which it
was made after thorough tests and experiment.
They have the maximum of strength and en-
agurance.
You will find all stylesand sizes in the I H C
spreader line. They will cover the ground
vith a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but
1ys evenly, up hillor down. * Thereare high
v machines, with steel frames, endless
Tr rse aprons, but always giving best pos-
s:ble service. Tractive power is assured by
position of the rear wheels well under the box §
carrying nearly three-fourths of the load, : N
