They increase production by plowing deeper and cultivating
more often.
They reduce costs by substituting cheap, reliable power for
costlier methods. v
Their low upkeep cost ancl long life enable you to work day

It's vacation time now but one of these
summers you'll be wondering how you're
going to be able to afford sending your boy
or your girl away to college in the fall.
i '
If you haven't prepared for it and happen
to lie unfortunate the year that this par
ticular need arises, your boy or your girl
will be denied a better chance in life.
You can prepare for such an important
expenditure by starting a La Grande Build
ing & Loan contract a sufficient time ahead
to have the money ready. Will you let us
give you further details?
