How Farmers Get Rich Implements That increase the output. Implements That reduce the expense. Implements That make labor light. Implements That swell bank accounts. There you have it the secret of how so many fanners amass comfortable fortunes while still comparatively young men. It is by the applica nt um of common sense and progressive meth cti.s in the working and improving of the farm, in the prompt adoption of every known device for increasing the profits and cutting down the expense. And in no way can this be done so quickly and effectively as by the use of new and improved farm machinery and implements. The four classes of implement and machin ery listed above will produce prompt results. They will pay for themselves many times over, will earn big dividends for the farmer, and wdl lighten his labor to an amazing extent. This is the experience and verdict of every fanner who uses them. W sell them at attractive prices. Troxell Implement Co. Ontario .... Oregon The Argus Can Do Your Job Printing .
