Gentlemen: I have just returned from starting the San ders double disk plow at Junction As you well know 1 have always thought the Sanders disk plow all right but 1 must confess I was somewhat surprised today when we started It In land that had not been plowed for two years and had been stocked heavy since, Jjt was just as hard as a roadbed The plow was a double disk, as the man had four small horses and wanted to plow deep, he concluded to take one disk off and use only three horses, which he did. We put the p'ow down 8 inches (actual measure ment) and to say it did the work, is putting it mildly, and to say that the farmer as well as Mr Whlielm, the agent, were pleased Is putting it lightly, they were simply amaz ed as well as myself. 1 enclose you ord-r of Wilhelm & Sons for two more double disk plows. In conclusion 1 will say the Sanders plow Is head and shoulders above anything 1 have seen. h Yours truly, (Signed) P E. THOMASON. Fairclough Bros.
