The Farmer Today Is a Business Man does not run his farm in the haphazard fashion he did ten years ago. I t’s his business. He figures his H E costs and profits. He knows, of course, what he gets out of the productive acres of his farm—and how much he is paying out in taxes on the idle unproductive stump and swamp land that brings in nothing. , T h a t Is W hy H e Is C lea rin g M o re L a n d E v e r y Y ea r It’s just good business. Every acre cleared and planted means more profit every year. The clearing cost is usually more than covered by the first crop. More land is being cleared, too, because of the manufacture of dynamite made for this purpose, which makes the work easier, quicker and more economical. Take an In ven to ry o f Your L an d a How much is productive? How much idle? Then see our local dealer and plan how much dynamite you need for this season.

You just grasp the handle and clean from room to room thoroughly without further bother. The long, tapering “ nose” slides conveniently under beds, radiators and heavy furniture. All that is best in electric cleaners nil the easy convenience of the ordinary carpet sweeper—that is the VACUETTE—yet it is free from the drawbacks that makes the first a once a-week sweeper and the second an incomplete cleaner. Once try a Vncuette, once run its generous suction nozzle across a floor, and you will realize what a useful place it will fill in your daily work. Your first demonstration will convince you.
