We are selling the WEST McHENRY SPECIAL Ma­ nure Spreader manufactured by The Litchfield Mfg. Co. and we have the privilege of issuing with every machine we put out a WRITTEN GUARANTEE BOND, which we send to the factory for an official signature, and this guarantee then comes to the owner of the spreader and protects him for FIVE YEARS. The reason this unusual and unquestionable guarantiee caji be given on this spreader is because the manufacturers know how it is built and what idtid of material is put into it and are ready to back it up accordingly. The Litchfield Co. has developed this spreader along its present lines for fifteen years: They are the oldest builders of manure spreaders now in the business, and probably are producing the largest number of machines of any one fac­ tory in the United States. They make manure spreaders and they make nothing else. They know the game from "A" to "Z" and when you get a Litchfield spreader from our stock of machines we are in position to give you a KNOWN guarantee which under ordinary conditions and with many ordinary machines would be entirely impossible. Come in and see this guaranteed spreader and let us show you the GUARANTEE BOND that we are permitted to issue with it and which is backed by the factory in con­ nection with each individual sale. Come and see for yourself. West McHenry A. COOLEY LISTEN! Do you know that it pleases us to see you come to this store? Well, it does.
