Yonr Farm Needs this Outfit The combination of a Sterling thresher with an I H C gasoline engine, both mounted on one truck, is one of the biggest expense-reducing and labor-saving combinations ever brought to your attention. W ith this outfit, you enn do your threshing practically alone, so little help is required. You can nlso do small jobs for your neighbors and in this way pay tor the outfit. When threshing is over, you can dismount the thresher nrid mount a saw in its place. Or, you can belt the 4 or 6-horso power engine to a pump, corn shelter, grinder, etc., in fact, use the engine for a large variety of purposes. The Sterling thresher is so practical and easy to handle that a boy can attend to all duties connected with the thresh ing operation. IT WILL TIIHK8II W h e a l, R jr* .
