\ (Re PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 6th, 1942 ER -- Wah FARMING EQUIPMENT I] No other country in the world is better equipped than Canada to produce, with minimum "manpower, the prodigious quantities of foodstuffs required by an Empire at war. Equipment bought to do more work in less time and at less cost during the years of 'drouth and depression has taken on greater importance now that our war-time program in men and munitions has created a shortage of labor and materials. : The importance of farm equipment has been recognized by.the highest material priority rating for civilian goods, yet even with this preference -- so great is the manufacturing program for war purposes--it may not be possible to meet the demand for farm equipment this year. It will be necessary, therefore, to take extra good care of your present equipment, Check it over to see that it is in good working order. Replace damaged or worn-out parts now. Use your machines' carefully, paying par- ticular attention to frequent and thorough lubrication of working parts. If it is essential that you have a new machine, it is to your interest to place your order as edrly as possible, what 2 . Through'its extensive network of branches and local dealers, the Massey- Harris organization is prepared and equipped to give that prompt, reliable service depended upon by generation after generation of Canadian farmers since the pioneer days.
