ANNOUNCEMENT 1 I Of i j I i i Personal and Vital Interest to Every Farmer. dRancher and Orchardist in Oreon This announcement will make known to the farmers, ranchers and fruitgrowers of Albany and Willamette Valley the com ing of one of the most importantenterprises yet established in the country. It is an announcement that every tiller of the soil in Oregon will be interested in. It is the announcement of the coming of the Samson Farm Products. It includes Tractors, Imple ments, Farm Trucks, Automobiles and the wonderful Sunnyhome Light and Power Plant with its many electric novelties. This complete line is made by the Samson Division of the General Motors Corporation, which controls the well-known Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Chevrolet and Scripps-IJooth Automobiles and GMC Trucks. Believing that the farmers of Linn and sur rounding counties will be interested in progressive methods of agriculture and modern home conveniences, we have decided to lo cate a branch in Albany and will in the near future have on display models in the various lines we represent. Our line is essenti ally a farmer's line, built for his particular needs and to meet his every requirement for transportation, power and light. Take a few minutes to read over the following brief descriptions of these products. &8J"'- Samson Tractor Model ivi Fully Equipped, including platform and fenders Governor and Power Take-off Horsepower Heavy Draft Horsepower for drawbar and belt, that's what you want, but at the right price, both in first cost and upkeep as well. This is what the designers, engineers and producers had uppermost in their minds when they develop ed the Samson Model M Tractor. You want a tractor that wil 1 take the place and perfqrm the duty of a barn full of horses without costing you a fortune or a big part of your crop to buy and maintain. A tractor with more drawbar capacity for less weight, also a tractor that will give you unlimited range of steady power on the pully for heavy-pully jobs, such as lifting water for irriga tion, threshing and silo filling. That's exactly the kind of tractor you get in the Samson Model M no superflous and unnecessary dead weight. The even distribution of weight, compact design and low center of gravity give to the Samson great stability, making it hug the ground and preventing all danger of rearing up and tipping over. It has no lost motion, for it is built and lubricated through out like a $3,000 automobile, insuring great efficiency, ease of op eration, maximum length of life and service and the price the most unbelievable figure of less than $1,000, f. o. b. Albany be cause of correct design, engineering and quantity production. Samson Trucks The trucks that brings Country, Town and City Together. 3-4 ton and 1 1-4 ton capacities Here is something new in the truck line. It just fills the bill for the hundred and one hauling jobs on the farm, in the small town and city. Furnished in the two sizes they are not too heavy, neither are they too light and are offered at a price that is within the reach of everybody who has a lot of field and road hauling, town and city delivering to do. This line embodies some of the most radical improvements ever made in motor truck construction. First, by placing the driver's seat well forward the cab space is eliminated and 33 per cent more loading space is attainable a new feature. Second, by correct and even distribution of weight and not putting too great a burden on either front or rear wheel, it in sures great economy in tires and fuel, r Third, the new Samson Truck, on account of the famous single-plate dry-disc clutch, allows the driver to start under a full load on any gear. Fourth, the patented extension wheel bases prevent the truck from miring in the mud and provides traction when in soft ground, a most notable feature. Samson trucks are provided with most e.very kind of bodies, from the flat bed to double box for hauling farm produce, to hay racks. Investigate this wonderful truck and learn of its extremely low price. ' Samson Iron Horse Driven With Line a like a team, by one or two hands with perfect M eae- rijlLL Here at a very reasonable and low price is a machine that will do with only one man operating both tractor and implement or vehicle, most every job that a team of two or tljree horses will do do it accurately and reliably never needs a rest, will not shirk, get scared or run away. It is driven with a pair of lines just exactly as you would drive a team. You pull both lines back and the Iron Horse backs up; release and it goes forward; pull to the right and it turns to the right; pull to the left and it turns to the Jeft. -With the most delicate pull of the reins it will go just where you put it, accur ately. It is safe, dependable and sure so simple that a man, woman or boy can operate it; no brakes, no foot pedals to contend with or mix you up. THE GREATEST INVENTION OF THE CENT VRY FOR THE FARMER The Samson Iron Horse will revolutionize farming because it actually takes the place of horses. It is very simple, being equipped with a powerful, simply-designed valve-in-head four cylinder motor. It has automatic throttle, governor and regulat or, so that when you come to a hard pull it absolutely takes care of itself without bother or watching. IDEAL FOR ALL KINDS OF CULTIVATING In the orchard or field it will successfully do the work of two men and two teams. It is not heavy, will not crush down or pack the ground because all four wheels pull and provide traction. It is also equipped with belt pully that will do a dozen dif ferent jobs on the farm from sawing wood to running the spray pump. Samson Automobile A Car Worth Waiting to See The new Samson automobile is a powerful four-cylinder nine-passenger car, fully equipped with electric lights, self-starter, etc. It is backed by all of the resources of the General Motors Corporation and is a handsome, stalwart car in every particu lar. It is primarily a farmer's car and is built to sell for less than $1,000. SAMSON Sunnyhome Light and Power Plant The Sunnyhome is a self-contained, automatically controll ed power plant that starts itself, stops itself, feeds itself, heats and cools itself, and does it without fuss or worry. Fill the supply tank, which is buried in the ground, with gas oline three or four times a year and let it run. A little overhead wire running to your house, barn and oth er buildings furnishes light and power everywhere. It runs the washing machine, electric iron, churn, separator, vaccum clean er, piano player, sewing machine, furnishes running water for the house, barn and yard, lights the entire place, turns the grindstone, runs the chopper, saws the wood and does every other light outdoor job. - Lightens the work of man and woman on the farm and re duces housekeeping to a pleasure. 3i 'A i i I i ALBANY TRACTOR GOo ii W atch for Announcement of our Location in Albany I
