This machine is built especially for us, to fit and fill the requirements of our own territory, and we wish you would come and listen to the story connected with this modern machine. ft has more quality features, protected by patents, than any other machine we know of. It has the only beater wheel which will not clog or choke on any kind of material. It has the only box that will not clog or choke. It has the lightest draft of any known spreader. Customers tell us they can see no difference in the draft when distributing or when hauling the load to the field. The main bearings are built like a rfcffroad car--packed with waste and oil. It is almost entirely of steel, and be­ cause of this unusual construction and the lack of hard, heavy draft, it carries a guarantee for five years. THE WEST McHENRY SPECIAL has only two gear wheels, only one lever, and requires less knowledge and skill and experience to operate than any manure spreader we ever heard of. It is almost human in its operations. Y°u work one lever and everything else takes care of itself. We are selling this spreader because we believe it is the best machine that money can buy. We know this from pur own experience and the experience of others. Come and listen to the story THE WEST McHENRY SPECIAL can tell. / * " West McHenry F. A.
