riority of the Oil Pull tractor over any other tractor built and demonstrates the fact that the faith which the dealers throughout the country and the people of Laporte have in the ability of the officials of the Advaince-Rumely Co. to produce a tractor that would stand without a peer has not been without foundation. The 12-20 tractor was entered in competition with 28 other makes from all parts of the United States,

both oil and gas burning and was never Ln danger of losing the belt to any of its -rivals —in fact an analysis of the telegram'shows that in the test yesterday the nearest competitor was ‘the Wallis gasoline tractor which used .583 pounds of gas per horse power hour and with cost taken into consideration leaves the Oil Pull exactly 100 per cent •more efficient in the matter of fuel consumption, while the nearest oilbwning tractor, the Case, was 20 per cent less efficient on the sgme basis. x While to uninitiated this test may not seem to be significient as there were only 28 tractors in the show yet it must be remembered that they Were from the leaders in their lines and that the competition was open to all. Going still further into the situation it will be found that this record has never been equalled in any public demonstration and that the nearest comipetition that was ever established was by the No. 30-60 Oil Pull in Winnipeg, Canada, a number of years ago. This should convince the most doubtful ,of the superiority of the Oil Pull. In the contest yesterday each tractor was on the brake for one and one-half hours, the first hour being devoted to a fuel consumption test, while 30 minutes was given over to a test on the variability of the load which the tractor

was able to handle. The Advance-Rumely demonstration was in charge of John A. Secor, known as the father of the famous Oil Pull. Mr. Secor is at present consulting engineer for the Advance-Rumely company and has the distinction of being the designer of the first Oil Pull tractor ■built by the Rumely company. Frank Wurster of the tractor plant operated the world beating OilPull.—Laporte Argus-Bulletin.
