This book is not what the Ford Motor Company has to say about the Fordson Tractor; but what the tens of thousands of users have to say. Get the book! It is yours for the asking. Keep in mind the fact that be hind every Fordson Tractor are all the resources of the great Ford Motor Company, likewise that reliable "Ford After Service" which assures the keeping of the tractor in working order every day in the year.

It is more important to the farmer today than anything elsy. The Age of Machine Power on the farm is no longer a matter of spec ulation; it is here--an established fact. It is the latest advanced step civilization has taken. It comes to the farmer with the full promise to lift the great burden of drudgery and wearisome, wearing out toil from the muscles of man and carrying them with much more profit by power of machinery, with the result that larger production, more comfort and greater wealth will come to the farm homes wherever the Fordson is employed .
