The America n consul arranged for the test - The German plows proved to be al most exact duplicates of the American Implement In design and rather better In Bnlsh.

Basque spat, upon bis bauds, hunched tils muscular shoul ders,, swung the heavy hammer In a wide circle and brought It down on the spot Indicated. A note as clear as thnt of a bell rung out and the plow went bounding across the floor, but save for the patch of red paint tlmt fused to and "came off on the bnmmer head the share was unmark ed. When the operation wns repeat ed upon one of the Genuon ; lmple- njt'iits (lie Orst sbnre wus completely shattered, the pieces being scattered about the floor like so much broken crockery. Thinking that possibly the faultlness of this sbnre bud been an accident of conntructlon, perhaps of over-tempering, the dealer requested the peon to swing upon the second sample. This blow demonstrated that the German Implements were not even consistent in their effectiveness, for this share doubled up under the blow and folded lovingly in around the hammer like a (lower going to sleep at night - v. a: ;;:...:;:: ; There were tears in the consul's eyes ns be wrung the salesman's band In coagratiilotlon, but all be said was.
