The C reeping T ractor is made here in the west at Chico, Cali., and is 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 apd 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.
