ry HE "FORDSON" TRACTOR is tlk! result of extensive trials and exp
ments conducted by Mr. Henry Fo; d, covering a period of many years. . Be
fore placing the tractor on the market, every detail has ueeen thoroughly tried
out under actual farming conditions in arious parts of tins country and abroad.
. . .Exeprionce has pointed to the small, light tractor as being the one machine
which will, fill all varying conditions satisfactorily.
In developing Um "FORDSON" T actor, the aim has been to produce a
small tractor which will be low in first cost, reliable, and above all efficient.
Being small, light and economical, the FORDSON Tractor is adapted
for use on small farms, as well as on the largest. . It will pull all farm imple
ments and do the work generally dono by horses onth e farm. . In addition, by
its belt pulley the tractor will drivef.iim machinery such as a thresher, ensil-,
age cutter, sawmill, etc., making the "FORDSON" a truly universal tractor.
In design and construction the "FORDSON" takes a long step in approach
ing the ideal tractor. The simplicity of its operation and construction will at
once appeal to the farmer.
8pecial devices were perfected to keep out dust and dirt. . All moving part j
are enclosed and thoroughly lubricated. The number of lubricating points re
quiring attention are very few and easily gotten at.
The motor, transmission, and rear axle are assembled together, forming
one rigid unit, which, combined with the three point suspension, relieves these
parts of all strain.
The absence of any frame gives accessibility to all parts for making adjust
ments or repairs, and allows the tractor to be taken apart in a few minutes.
The motor is of substantial design and is capable of delivering its full power
continuously. It embodies features which have been used with success in other
fields for many years.

The thing we look at slrslghtest and

Yet, so unobservant are we all, espe

In fiction, ulwsys flash, and no doubt
will alwaya flash, under the etrees of
any kind of rage. The assaaaln of tha
