With your fatherly brotherly

And you're eighty years young

You've weathered the storms" thru

Yet your life's like the month of
May.
Here's drinking your health, in
laughter, not tears,
For you're eighty years young
today.

What is the Secret of the Great Strength of the
Powerful Fordson
Is it the the four husky cylinders 4 inches in di
amctei with a 5 inch stroke?
V
i
Is it the perfect kerosene carburetion?
Is it because of the strength of the Ford magneto?
NOTE: The Ford magneto is the only magneto in the
world which furnishes electric current enough to fire the
motor and light three to five lights at the same time.
The secret of strength of the powerful Fordson
is not in these alone but is also in the fact that
the Fordson has the only truly efficient type of
final drive.
The only gear which changes the direction of
your power and at the same time gives you
a maximum speed reduction and this at a
minimum of loss by friction. '
