The farm tractor and the stationary farm engine have brought mechanical power to the farm; the coming of abundant power mean enormous things in the way of better and cheaper farming; it enables larger tracts of land to be cultivated effectively, and at a much lower cost of operation. The C reeping G rip T ractor will handle every operation on the grain farm from soil to market. J. R.« Morgan Z D e n -tle t MORO, -• OREGON The Creeping Grip Tractor Compels attention; it has no equal any where. The C reeping T ractor is made here in the west at Chico, Cali., and iff rightly named “The California Giant.” Thia machine is absolutely the best on the market. It is the ouly machine adapted to the all-around service that the Sher man County farmer needs. It is used for breaking sod and plowing, discing, harrowing, and drilling, without packing the ground; harvesting, threshing and general stationary power work, road grading, ditching, and freighting. It stands the daily grind and wears well. It uses kerosene or distillate more economically than any of the so-called “oil fuel” tractors. Why don’t you come in and let me talk this matter over with you? I am agent for Sherman county for this machine and I am backing it with my own guarantee and I am anxious to see this machine on every farm in Sherman county Cole R. R. Bqller «ì.
