THREE SURE WAYS lor a FARMER to make more profit . Increase production per acre. 2. Reduce cost of production per acre. 3. Cultivate more acres. ONE SURE WAY to accomplish all three "Culerpillar" Tractors increase production per acre by plowing deeper and cultivating more often. They reduce production costs by substituting cheap reliable power for costlier methods. Their low upkeep cost and long life together with economy of operation materially reduce production costs and their ability lo work day after day with a freedom from mechanical trouble makes possible an acreage you never dreamed of unless you arc already familiar with "Caterpillar" performance. A "Caterpillar" Tractor is an investment in power that will earn you a profit for many years to come. They carry on willingly the years only bring them more work. Multiply the drawbar horsepower by the years of service when choosing a tractor and you will undoubtedly buy a "Caterpillar." BIGGER than the Weather ARMORED Against Time Nineteen new folders covering every branch of better, quicker, cheaper farming with "Caterpillars" in corn, row crops, grains, truck, vineyards, orchards, rice, sugar beets, cane, hay, dairying, cotton, etc., etc., ....
