STALLING Agent McHenry, 111. mmm Measure the Machine as Weil as the Price When our customers come to our store they ASK US THE PRICE. No man would buy a manure spreader with- ^o,ut knowing exactly what lie is going to pay for it--that is good business. * . ,--• However, some men fail to get as much information about the machine as they get about the prince, and this is where such men are absolutely WRONG. Come and see the "WEST McHENRY SPECIAL"-- look it over, and if you think it will last you twice as long as any other spreader on the market, would you be willing to pay twice as much as the other fellows ask? Perhaps not, but you ought ta be willing to pay a good deal more. Now, we are otfering you the "WEST McHENRY SPECIAL" at a moderate price, and with it we give you a guarantee that on the face of it should convince you that this spreader will OUT-LAST other makes of machines ait least two tjo one. There is a reason for this durability and this reason is in the material used and the manner in which the machine is built. Tliis spreader is built at a factory where they don't build auything else. They are specialists. They are the oldest builders in the spreader business today. They make everything that goes into the machine, from the raw material. The Litchfield Mfg. Co. are NOT ASSEM­ BLERS. We think this spreader is worthy of your minute in­ spection. Come and see it. West McHenry F. A.
