CHEAP TILLERS
There's getting to be about as many tillers on the market as
there are pills on a druggist's shelves. If grandpa gets a
bellyache you don't go and get him corn plasters. Yet when
it comes to power garden tillers many people are doing just
about as silly a stunt. You can buy a little lightweight put put
that will scratch up the backyard but in all fairness will it
get out and really prepare a seed bed?
YOU CAN PAY $500 FOR A MACHINE but you will be losing
your religion with it in the fence corner the rest of the sum
mer. WE DONT HAVE THE LARGEST TILLER DISPLAY IN THE
COUNTY nor do we have an ultra modern business estab
lishment. WE ARE PLAIN GARDENERS LIKE YOU. All we ask is that you
give us a fair chance to demonstrate the amazing new all
purpose Merry Tiller. You may have heard some things
against the Merry Tiller.
YOU WOULDN'T JUDGE THE NEW FORD BY A MODEL T.
Neither can you judge the new Merry Tiller by older models.
MERRY TILLER HAS BEEN OUTSELLING ALL OTHERS. Naturally
the competition don't like this so knock our machine telling
you that many people wan to trade in their Merry Tillers. In
all fairness, listen to their story, but BEFORE YOU BUY GIVE
MERRY A TRY. We'll demonstrate in a heap of boulders or in
a blackberry thicket.' You won't believe it till you see it. -MERRY
TILLER OUTPERFORMS ANYTHING ON THE MARKET
and we can prove it.
WE CARRY CHEAPER AND HIGHER PRICED TILLERS TOO.
Check our prices before you buy. Low Interest, Bank Terms.
