GRESHAM OUTLOOK. TUESDAY, AUGUST », 1M 1 PAGE TH R EE POWELL VALLEY More than 100,000 Fordson tractors have been sold to fanners in the United States. They are helping those farmers do more and better work in less time and at less cost. North, East, South, West,—every where the Fordson has proven itself a money-maker and a real neces sity to the farmer. Besides it is helping mightily to solve the labor problem. These one hundred thousand and more practical farmers have af firmed the economy—the exceptionally low fuel and operating cost— of the Fordson; its time and labor-saving qualities and its ability to increase production. The Fordson was built to be the most econom ical tractor; it is compact and devoid of excessive weight. And it is built of the same strong iron and steel as is in the Ford car. Winter or bad weather does not hinder the Fordson’s usefulness. Day or night—twenty-four hours a day if you choose—you can utilize the Fordson. Only so many Fordsons are allotted to this territory. Orders are being filled in se quence —■ first come first served. Let us have yours now. There’s a practical use for the Fordson every day of the year. Let’s tell you. Come in and have a tractor talk. Give us the chance to make a demonstration on your own farm.
