"I had told you that I could not farm without a tractor hut could not think that the Farmall would do all that you recommended it to do. "But after seeing the Farmall do the work, I at once became interested and bought. I want to say to you that this tractor has already paid me big interest oa the investment. It paid for itself some two or three times over in the 1928 crop. I un derstand that you now have Farmall equipment to do most any job on the farm. I am go ing to get a mowing machine and the sweep rake, and am thinking now of buying an other Farmall this year. "Last year I cultivated 105 acres of corn in three days and did it about 50 better than I could with my teams. No one will go wrong in buying a Farmall. It is the real 'farmer's friend' of today, and I believe that when more of the farmers buy the Farmall and use it there wiil be more work done and more money in the bank to their credit." D.

If you don't make a profit, you can't "get ahead." On. the farm, for example, you may have excellent crop prospects, you may get a big yield per acre but if it cost you more to produce than iW sells for, or if you lose part of it through lack of quick, efficient) facilities for handling it, your profits may turn to losses. A "Caterpillar" cuts costs. It constitutes profit insurance because you can do more work, better, quicker and cheaper. No matter how heavy the grain, no matter how big the load regard less of heat or ground conditions your "Caterpillar" gives eco nomical service and pays for itself in the savings it makes for you on. any job.
