Farmers don't choose their machines by whim or fancy. Such a high preference for Massey-Harris is proof beyond doubt that Massey-I-arris combines give them the best ail-round performance . . . in fast harvesting, dlean threshing, freedom from field delays, low cost of operation. If you were to visit the Massey-Harris combine factory and watch the long train- loads of combines pulling out of the railway siding, y'ou would see something else that is noteworthy. Many of these train-loads are destined for United States points, because Massey-Harris combines are as popular in Kansas, Texas and the Dakotas as they are in the Canadjan West. And if you observed further, you would find many carloads destined for far-away countries like Argentine, India, Turkey,' Tanganyika. AIl, over the world, the Massey-Harris self-propelled combine is known and recognized as the master mach- ine for modern farmers. Wherever you find modern agriculture, you find Massey-, Harris combines in use and in demand.
