Great changes are taking place in American agriculture; the age of mechan
ical power on the farm is here. 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.

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
