TRACTORS
More than one third of the tractors in use in the U lited States are Fordsons,
yet the Fordson has only been on the market two years. Just like the Ford
car, the Fordson is an all-year utility. It is a compact tractor: it is easily op
erated, it has more power per pouud weight than any other tractor manufac
tured, it is the lowest prioed tractor and it is the most economical to operate.
T here are more than seven thousand Fordson dealers in the United States.
T here fs one community who not only sells Foedsons, but who carries a sup
ply of Fordson parts for repairs and replacements with skilled mechanics to
give dependable service, and to help

that a permanent cure may be had. Headache
nearly always results from some disorder o f the
