It doesn't make any difference how you spell that prosperity--whether it is in increased production; whether it is in the saving that comes from a machine over a horse or a mule; whether it comes in a . release from the'drudgery and all-day and all-night labor on the farm for both man and wife-- because the Fordson answers all those problems to the satisfaction of the farmer. It can't be otherwise. These are the days of progress, and power on the farm is the necessity. It is only a question of what kind of power the farmer is going to have, but no farmer with the facts now before him can question the monetary advantage of machine power over horse and mule-power. The Tractor is the farmer's necessity] just as much as the sun is the necessity for growing crops. 7 ' . • All that is necessary for a farmer is to know his Pordson Tractor as familiarly as he understands handling a team of horses. He wants to use the s&me amount of reason and Common sense. In the Pordson Tractor is the Concentrated power of eighteen horses, and as flexible as the movement of your arm--much more flexible than horse control--rand beyond all comparison much more economical both in service and in keep. Then it will do so many things that horses and mules cannot do, and it doesn't eat when idle. We don't believe there is any question in the mind pf any farmer as to the necessity^for a Tractor, but he may have some doubts as to what make of Tractor, so that is the reason we are putting this advertisement in this paper to draw his attention to the Pordson Tractor. 1 his is why we put the above arguments before him, and why we now invite him to come into our place of business and view the Pordson Tractor. Let us show him what it has done. Let us prove to him its superiority over.any other Tractor. It means more to him than it does to us. When we sell a Tractor, we make a small profit, but when he buys a Tractor he buys a power that is working for hifn every day ^in the year; that is, if he buys a Pordson-- we can't speak for the other kinds.
