Hie Ford Tractor Company, of Minneapolis, Minn., U ensaged epcdusively in the manufacture of THE FORD FARM TRACTOR, and has no connection Vhatever with the Ford Motor Com pany of Detroit, or with any other automobile or tractor concern. THE FARM LABOR PROBLEM SOLVED The demand of the farmer for a light, serviceable farm tractor at a low price has at last been met. The FORD doe the farmer's work better, quicker and cheaper than horses can do it. The FORD pulls plows, drills, discs, , harrows, mowers, binders, seeders, manure spreaders, drags, wagons and-small road graders; it operates en silage cutter and silo filler, feed grinder, water pump, circular saw and other belt driven machines used on the farm. It is designed for strength, power and durability. It performs, all classes of practical farm work. Every farmer needs a FORD,' , Every farmer, farming forty acres or more, realizes the need for a good, strong, serv iceable tractor that will do the work, and that is con structed of strong material and is of such simple design that it is not continually getting out of order. THE FORD TRACTOR is built and designed to meet every requirement, of the average farmer. SIMPLE, POWERFUL, pASlLY HANDLED, RELIABLE. THE FORD TRACTOR-tells for $495 f. o. b. factory. It is the lowest price tractor for general farm use. It is in successful operation in thirty-seven Slates and in sev eral foreign countries. The demand is increasing daily. v The unfilled orders, on which deposits have been made, now on the bodks of the company, will keep the factory running night and day for months to come. After eighteen months of practical use on the farms of America the FORD has proved so successful that a new modern factory has been built and leased to the Com pany for a period of years, and already, while the Com pany has only been in the new building about one month, the demand for THE FORD TRACTOR Is so great that an extension to the factory is already being planned. The plant of THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY, Inc., is located in Minneapolis, Minn., the center of the great Northwest agricultural district and the home of the farm tractor industry in America. Minneapolis is to the farm tractor what Detroit is to the automobile. In our opinion, THE FORD TRACTOR occupies the same relative position that the low price automobile has occupied in the automobile industry. In other words, the big demand for farm tractors is, and must always be, for the low price tractor. Certain patents owned by this Company, inventions of Mr. Paul B. Ford, are such as to make it impassible, in our opinion, for any other manu facturer to turn out the same dependable, low cost farm tractor without paying royalty to THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY, Inc. ' . - j -k . We have in our office an illustrated' folder giving full specifications and particulars regarding THE FORD TRACTOR, a copy of which will be readily mailed im mediately upon request. SALES ORGANIZATION The agency organization of THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY now numbers over Two Hundred established dealers or agents located throughout some or the best farming country in the United States. These agent keep on hand or at a nearby farm one or more farm tractors, which they exhibit or demonstrate as often as occasion requires. The combined selling ability of a large agency organization, properly trained and equipped, can scarcely be overestimated as to its far-reaching results. These dealers are today selling more tractors than the Company can deliver. The added capital which this Company will receive from the underwriters will enable the Company to increase its manufacturing facilities.

Th. stecss of th. automobile has mad. a new crop of millionaires; fortunes hav. grown from .trifling amounts; cities hare bean built, and th. compl.xion of state changed as a raault of th. motor T.hicl. Industry. Probably no other inrention T.r afforded th. profit that has been mad. out of the motor T.hicl. industry. And no' other industry today is making greater profits for the actual cash capital inrested. Thes. profits haT. run all the way from 10 per annum to 1000 per annum on th. inrestment. In fact, more than 10007c per annum has been earned by tome of th. low-pric automobile manufacturers. There are three distinct branches of th. motor vehicl. Industry th. automobil. for pleasure purposes,' tho truck for commercial pur poses and th. tractor for farm purpose.. THE ONE BIG MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITY IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE INDUSTRY TODAY is, in our opinion, in THE FARM TRACTOR FIELD. Th. leader in the low-pric. farm tractor field is THE- FORD TRACTOR, manufac tursdby THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY, of Minneapolis, Minn.

Company moved into a new two-story building with every modern facility, located at Madison St. and 17th Are., N. E in the City of Minneapolis, Minn. The present factory has now an output capacity of twenty (20) FORD tractors per day. Additional factory facilities wQl be provided as rapidly- as possible. THE PRODUCT Th. FORD sells for $4t5. It is the lowest-priced tractor mad. for general farm purposes. The profit at this price is sufficient te snow an earning of about 33 1-3 Co on the psr Talue of the entire com mon stock, with a production of only 25,000 tractor per annum. This farm tractor has proven its ability to do heavy farm work rapidly and to accomplish it in season; to plow deeper than by horse . plow; to save ra cost of labor, and to be utilised for driving machin ery on any part of the farm According to the WALL STREET JOURNAL "there are in the United States alone over 2,700,000 farms on which the present mod els of tractors can,, be economically used." In addition to this, that Journal points out that "the American tractor has already found a food field in Europe,' and it is believed that, after the war, changes In uropean farm methods will be revolutionised and will call for an im mense supply of American-made farm tractors. IN WAR OR PEACE THE SOIL MUST BE TILLED An agent of the French Government, after investigating th. farm tractor field from stem to stem, has placed an initial order fpr fifty FORD TRACTORS, and has mad. th. public an nouncement that this order was not for wsr purposes, but that these tractors would be used te till the soil after peace has been declared. In fact, serious-minded men have taken th. pUc- -ing of this order as a forerunner of peace, and Europe, short of men, and more than short in horses, must of necessity look to the farm tractor for the power with which to till th. soiL s So, in buying stock today in THE FORD TRACTOR COM PANY, you sr. getting In on a ground-floor basis with the low. priced tractor builder in America, with an opportunity not only to make money out of tractors that must be used est the mil lions of farms in the United States, but with the type of tractor that all Europe must turn to when peace has been declared.

STATEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT Th. following is copy of a letter from W. Baer Ewmg, President of THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY, which tells of the early develop ment of THE FORD FARM TRACTOR, the present production facilities, th. plans of th. Company and estimated profits on future productions "Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 22, 1916. "Messrs. Robert P. Matches St Co., 1834 Broadway, New York, N. Y. "Gentlemen During the latter part of 1912 my attention was called to the insistent demand of farms for a light, serviceable farm tractor, and in 1914 I began devoting my time and energy te th. de velopment of a farm tractor, light in weight, serviceable to a high degree, end that could be supplied to the farmer at a reasonable price. On March 15 th, 1915, 1 incorporated THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY," and on July 20th, 1915, w. sold and delivered h. first FORD TRAC TOR that was ever put out in a commercial way. Our first tractor is still In constant use and giving satisfaction in every respect. Since the first tractor was shipped we have manufactured hundreds and hundreds more, all of which have been sold and delivered and are in use in 37 States of the United Ststes; and in addition to that we have sold and shipped FORD TRACTORS into Canada, England and Porto Rico, with large orders from other foreign countries pending. "In eur first year of commercial activity we have earned 100. on ur original invested capital. "As our tractor have been In the hands of farmers and in actual use for more than a year, we have demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt their high degree of efficiency and general practicability. In order to meet th. continually growing demand for our tractor, w. hav. com. to your Banking House for th. capiital necessary to enlarge our facilities for turning our FORD TRACTORS on a large seal.. "We sr. now located in our new factory, which is of the most modern type and so constructed that additions may be added from time to time. Our present output capacity Is twenty FORD TRACTORS each twenty-four hours, but with the steadily increasing demand for our product I anticipate th. early necessity for added factory space. As you knew, THE FORD is the lowest-priced serviceable farm tractor on th. market, which largely accounts for its wide popularity. Our present production is limited only by our capital. With the funds which your house proposes to furnish us, we will, in my judgment, be able to menu- fscture and sell st least 25,000 tractors per annum, at a net profit of $3,000,000 per year. This would indicate en earning approximately , 33 1-3 on our total Issue of common stock at its full par value. We have in these figures provided for e 'safety fund of ten dollars en each tractor turned out, to be used for contingencies or working surplus. "I may add that we are located right in the heart of the great North, west, the richest farming district In the 'world. Our manufacturing and shipping facilities are second to none, and 1 would suggest, when ever possible, that you send investors right out te our factory, where they can see Just whst we are doing and satisfy themselves as to th Urge, permanent, profitable industry wherein they may participate. "Our business is open to Inspection at all tunes and we solicit op portunities to show investors the details of same, and to demonstrate and verify th. correctness of all state meat made. Very truly yours, - "THE FORD TRACTOR COMPANY, INC, . o "W.
