Fordson Often Does More
In a Day Than Six Horses
The Fordson substitutes motors for muscles.
The Fordson substitutes tractor wheels for the
legs of m an and horse.
The Fordson takes the burden off flesh and
blood and puts it on steel.
It allows the farmer’s energy to be devoted to
management, and not merely to operation. It
gives him time. It cuts his producing costs.'
There’s a big story of savings made possible
by the Fordson. Let us tell you. Write,
phone or call.

“Is the Product Right?”

It is a maxim of advertising that a
poor product cannot he successfully
advertised. It may flash upon the
scene with brilliance, become the ialk
of the hour, and to all appearances be
destined to set new records, but un­
less it is and does what is claimed for

Once in a while some article of
merchandise will appear to defy this
rule, but not for long. Public re­
sponse, at first, perhaps, quick and
active, becomes slower and slower.
Sales fall off, and in a few months
or a few years, the very name of the
product is forgotten.
Advertising men know this so well
that today the first question upon
which they must he satisfied before
they will recommend advertising to
any manufacturer is—Is the product
right ?
And merchandise that is right—
merchandise that will satisfy in serv­
ice—merchandise that will bring cus­
tomers back for another purchase is
the first requirement of the jobber
and the retailer who expect to endure
and flourish.

There is no better assurance of this
