Good plowingcan be followed promptly by good discing because the man who drives a Fordson is soon through with one job and ready for the other. This thorough tillage, of course, results in bigger crop yields. Because of its scientific design and easy handling qualities, the Roderick Lean Automatic Engine Disc Harrow, specially designed for the F ordson, inspires its owners to pulverize thoroughly both before and after plowing. The Roderick Lean Automatic is as necessary to economical tractor farming as the special tractor plow. Operated from the tractor seat, it provides easy, thorough soil preparation with the Fordson. Strong for power requirements, flexible for short turning, and adjustable to meet all soil conditions. This is the proper disc for Fordson fracton. —the one disc harrow preferred by Fordson owners.

Shoddy Gas Ranges The word “shoddy” is most familiar when referring to clothing of poor quality; it also applies to other goods. There are shoddy, cheap stoves and gas appliances usually worth even less than they cost Good quality means economy and satisfaction long after the price has been forgotten. You can purchase 1 similar looking stoves elsewhere for less money. All gas appliances sold by us are guaranted as to durability and to burn the least amount of gas possible to give service. OUR responsibility does not cease when we sell you a gas range—it only begins. We adjust and regulate free of charge. s PRESERVING TIME && IS AT HAND ,Q anil “ IB /Jn? £ /111 r ■ The regulated cooking way of -rs I putting up the fruits and vegetables l V■! ilt home is BUch an improvement ■■■ 11 |‘ over old-fashioned methods, that 11 the housewife can scarcely believe I I pff it- No standing over steaming ketxj I 4 ties, no hours ot stirring and pot J washing.
